Wangye swallowed hard, feeling flustered by his unusual behavior.

After watching for a while, he suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and forced himself to turn his face away.

When Yu Wanwan opened her eyes, it was still pitch black in front of her. She didn't even realize her current situation for a moment.

"You're awake?" A pleasant male voice sounded from above her head, and Yu Wanwan realized it was Wang Ye's voice.

Immediately afterwards, it seemed as if someone picked her up, but it didn't last long; it was as if she was simply put aside.

Once her bottom hit the ground, Yu Wanwan realized that she had just fallen asleep on Wang Ye.

"It's getting dark now, are you hungry?"

"It's alright." Yu Wanwan blushed slightly, annoyed at herself for sleeping so soundly and even ending up on top of someone!

Wang Ye didn't seem to mind at all; he had already blushed when he was supposed to. However, Yu Wanwan couldn't see his expression, which at least eased her embarrassment a little.

"Um, are you hungry? I have some fruit here."

As Yu Wanwan spoke, she began to feel for the fruit in her bag.

However, the cave was too dark, and she couldn't see anything in front of her. Yu Wanwan reached out her hand and seemed to hit something. The next second, Wang Ye hissed.

Yu Wanwan quickly asked, "Wangye, what's wrong?"

Wang Ye frowned, trying to keep his voice calm: "It's nothing."

Yu Wanwan withdrew her hand, but felt a little dampness: "Why is there water on it?"

She touched it again and found that her hands were indeed wet.

But she didn't touch the water; she only touched the open field.

Why is there water on Nozomi's body?

Could it be...?

"Wangye, are you injured?"

"No," he answered quickly, as if nothing was amiss.

Yu Wanwan brought her hand to her nose and smelled it. The water on her hand had dried and there was no other smell, but she was still not at ease, so she began to explore the Wangye.

"Wangye, are you bleeding?"

Her hand touched Wangye's chest, and now she didn't care about shame anymore, carefully touching him all over.

Wang Ye was a little aroused by her touch, but not wanting to worry her, he still took her hand and gently comforted her, "There's no bleeding, don't worry."

"Impossible, how come you're wet if you're not bleeding?"

Yu Wanwan didn't believe it, so she pulled her hand away and continued to touch him, soon finding large wet patches on his body.

"You seem to be bleeding a lot." Her hand touched what appeared to be a wound, and she quickly pulled it back in fright.

"It's just a minor injury, don't worry."

Even in the darkness, Nozomi continued to comfort her.

The more this happened, the more uneasy Yu Wanwan felt. The dampness she had just touched was not something that could come from a small wound.

She quickly rummaged through her bag for the last few herbs. Afraid of hurting him again, Yu Wanwan gently touched his shoulder along the mountain wall, saying, "Quickly apply some medicine to stop the bleeding."

This time, Wangye didn't say anything and obediently took the herbs from her hand.

"When were you injured? Why didn't you tell me?"

The wound looked like a cut, but they were fine on the ground. How come Wangye was injured when she woke up?

Thinking of something, before Wang Ye could answer, Yu Wanwan hurriedly asked, "Was it when you were climbing up the cliff that you got injured?"

Before they climbed onto the platform, Wangye had crashed hard once. Perhaps it was at that moment that Wangye hit something, which is why he was so badly injured.

"That was around that time, but I only cut my waist on a rock. The rock was a bit sharp, so I only bled a little."

Since she guessed it, Wangye didn't refute it.

Yu Wanwan was speechless for a moment.

No wonder......

No wonder Wangye said he was exhausted when he climbed onto the platform and needed to rest for a while. It turned out he wasn't exhausted, but rather seriously injured.

Yu Wanwan was almost frantic with worry, her voice choked with emotion. She couldn't help but yell, "Why didn't you say anything!"

His wound was very large, and Yu Wanwan didn't have enough herbs left. She couldn't even stop the bleeding, and could only wait for the blood in the wound to slowly congeal.

That's why, and because he didn't want her to worry, he didn't tell her. He deliberately scared her and distracted her, then led her into the dark cave so she wouldn't see his injuries.

"I'm fine now."

It was too dark around her, and Yu Wanwan couldn't see his actual condition. She was also too embarrassed to keep touching him, so she nodded and handed him the fruit again: "Eat some first, then take a nap. You'll be fine soon."

Wangye took the fruit, and a crunching sound rang out in the darkness.

It's good that he can still eat; being able to eat proves that he's not completely beyond saving.

Yu Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and let herself lean against the mountain wall.

Wang Ye suddenly said, "Do you know that before I became the Beast King, I was always ostracized in the family?"

Yu Wanwan was stunned for a moment before she realized that Wang Ye wanted to share his inner journey with her.

She pouted and said, "Someone as capable as you could never be ostracized."

Fei Han had told her that only powerful orcs could sit on the throne of the Beast King. Any orc who dared to ostracize Wang Ye would probably be slammed against the wall before they could even utter a word of mockery.

In the darkness, Wangye gave a bitter smile: "Because I am a wolf, my beast mother is also a wolf, but my beast father is an ape."
