There was a strong smell of blood in the air, which was unlike the fishy smell of wild beasts. This smell made him feel very manic.

His eyes were dark as he looked at the blood flowing at her feet. His breathing suddenly became rapid. He didn't know if it was because of the hot spring, but his body suddenly became very hot.

He chuckled softly, his tone somewhat surprised, "You are actually a female. You have deceived me for a long time."

Shen Qi cursed secretly. It was bad enough that her period was delayed, but it came too "timely". It came at this time instead of earlier. Now she really couldn't explain herself even if she was right.

Unable to think of any explanation, she didn't look back at him. She was in a very embarrassing situation and could feel the blood slowly flowing down her thighs.

The fascinating smell of estrus became stronger and stronger, and Yuanze's eyes darkened.

Shen Qi heard the sound of someone leaving the water behind her, and then warm fur surrounded her, and her brows furrowed slightly.

A deep, hoarse voice echoed from behind, "Behave yourself, or... do you want the demonic beasts to discover you're a female?"

This guy talks like he's not an evil beast, but a leader.

She took a deep breath, and Yuanze wrapped her with his tail and quickly flew out of the cave.

The tail wrapped around her tightly. If the scent of the female in heat was not isolated, it would probably spread far away.

When he stopped, Shen Qi put down his feet and looked inside the cave. Compared with other caves, this place was much more precious.

Because... she saw a large pile of beast cores floating in the corner, ranging from low-level to high-level, and was secretly shocked. How strong is he?

He's hoarding so much, as decoration? That's too extravagant...

Before she could think too much, the fluffy tail left her and a chill ran through her whole body.

The animal skins were all wet when they fell into the hot spring. They were warm at first, but after a while, they naturally cooled down.

At this moment, the cold animal skin was still close to her skin. She shivered and felt more and more uncomfortable. She felt dizzy and her stomach hurt.

Shen Qi didn't know whether to laugh or cry. She really couldn't ruin her body. The dysmenorrhea she had experienced before was only slightly painful, so why was it so painful this time?

She even felt that the pain was more severe than the injuries she suffered during training.

As he smiled bitterly, a brand new set of animal skins suddenly appeared in front of him.

Shen Qi looked in his direction. His hands were gathering traces of spiritual energy, and the animal skin came from his hands.

"What are you standing there in a daze? Hurry up and change." Yuanze saw that her face was even paler than before, with tiny beads of sweat oozing from her forehead and her brows were furrowed.

"Or... do you want me to help you change?" Yuanze thought of his exposed skin color in the hot spring just now, his eyes deep.

When Shen Qi heard that he wanted to help her change, she immediately took the animal skin in her hand and said, "I'll change it myself." After a pause, she said, "You go out first."

"This is my territory. You're asking me to leave?" His eyes were full of teasing. "I'm not interested in your frail body."

Shen Qi smiled coldly, "Same here."

Without teasing her any further, he passed by her, ready to leave for the time being.

"Wait, is there any water? I want to clean myself."

Yuanze paused and listened to her request without getting angry.

But after a while, a large iron bowl filled with water and emitting hot steam floated up and finally stopped beside her and landed steadily.

She thanked the figure at the cave entrance, and when she saw him turn and leave, she touched the hot water in the bowl.

The water temperature is just right.

Shen Qi took out the exchanged tissues, wiped the stained area, and threw them on the dirty animal skin he had taken off.

After wiping it, she checked again to see if there was any part of her body stained with blood. Then she bought underwear and sanitary napkins at the mall and wrapped herself in new animal skins.

The body was cleaned, but the stomach pain became worse.

Just as I opened the mall to see if there were any medicines for dysmenorrhea, a low voice sounded outside.

"Did you finish washing?"

"alright."

Hearing her answer, he stepped in and saw a tightly tied animal skin on the ground. It seemed to be wrapped with something bulging inside.

Shen Qi followed his gaze and saw the dirty tissue she had just washed.

The sweet smell still lingered in the air. Yuanze raised his hand and two round pills appeared out of thin air.

He walked towards her and held out his hands in front of her, one blue and the other black.

"The blue one will mask your estrus scent, and the black one will relieve the pain."

Shen Qi was surprised, "For me?"

"You don't want it?" Yuanze raised his eyebrows.

Shen Qi immediately took the two pills, not wanting to waste them.

Looking at the two pills in his hand, doubt flashed across his eyes for a moment, then disappeared in an instant. If he wanted to use the pills to kill her, with his ability, it wouldn't be so troublesome.

She first swallowed the pain pills, which melted in her mouth. Immediately, the soreness from different parts of her body disappeared.

It works!

Shen Qi looked surprised and swallowed the other one.

“It doesn’t have that flavor anymore.”

Shen Qi was a little confused when she saw that he was obviously relieved.

Yuanze snorted coldly, sat on the bed, and lazily folded his arms across his chest.

He had never noticed the scent of a female in heat was so strong before. Could it be because of the spring flow just now?

"This king has time now to listen to your explanation."

Shen Qi did not answer this question, but asked him: "If you give me the pills that hide the smell, will you help me hide it?"

He smiled wickedly, appearing wild and unrestrained. "It depends on my mood. If I'm in a good mood, I'll naturally keep it a secret for you. If I'm in a bad mood... then it won't just be known by the evil beast."

A sharp light flashed in Shen Qi's eyes, and he was indeed moody.

Seeing her stunned, Yuan Ze opened his lips and spoke again, "You haven't answered my question yet."

"I……"

Seeing that she seemed a little embarrassed, Yuanze frowned slightly.

Shen Qi's eyes turned, and she continued, "My mother has made me play the male beast since I was a child, so I had no choice."

"Oh?" Yuan Ze raised his eyebrows, "Why did you let you play the male beast?"

"My mother told me since I was little that I looked like a male beast. I was so ugly, how could I be a female? So I have always dressed like a male beast."

Yuanze was stunned for a moment, as if he didn't expect this to be the reason.

When he heard the word "mother", he recalled some scene and his eyes gradually darkened.

After a while, his low and hoarse voice came to my ears, "What about your mother?"

Yuanze raised his sculptured, perfect face slightly, saw that she had her head lowered, and shook her head.

He remained silent, looking at her shrugged shoulders, then slowly spoke with his thin lips, "I will keep this secret for you for now, you go back first."

"But... I'm not pitying you. You're still useful to me. I won't let you go just because you're a female. You know how cruel and brutal evil beasts are, and how they abuse females."

"Yeah, I understand." Shen Qi responded lightly, and when she left, she did not forget to take away the animal skin where the tissue was placed.

Yuanze smelled the faint sweet scent again, which passed for a moment. He looked at the empty cave with a dark look in his eyes.
