It was your wife who saved you.

[Congratulations to the host for successfully binding with the cattle and horse system after multiple rounds of screening and matching!

Because you died tragically in your previous life, all your internal organs were damaged and could not be completely repaired.

But don't worry, as long as you prevent your beastly husband from turning evil, gain love points, and complete the task, you can get a healthy body and billions of assets! 】

When Sheng Ran heard the mechanical sound that suddenly rang in his mind, his face lit up with joy.

I can finally communicate with people normally, and there is finally a glimmer of hope!

However, the system's words made her very suspicious.

Sheng Ran was an orphan in her previous life, and she worked part-time to get herself into a prestigious university.

Her life after graduation was filled with work. She was diligent and conscientious, and was a very competent 007 worker.

She doesn't believe in windfalls.

Presumably guessing what she was thinking, the system continued diligently explaining: [Host, don't hesitate! It's the same as going to work. Treat me as a colleague, complete the tasks assigned by your superiors together, and receive the rewards you deserve. It's reasonable!]

Sheng Ran finally accepted: "But I don't want that much money. Please give me a healthy body and a house that belongs to me and can shelter me from the wind and rain. And... I want to return to my world!"

It was the first time the system had seen such a contented host. Surprised, it agreed without hesitation.

[Alert! The host is currently in danger. Please reduce Pei Xiaoxing's blackening value as quickly as possible and complete the mission in a safe state!]

With a dripping sound, the vision became dark again.

Sheng Ran's smile froze on her lips, and then she remembered that there was someone beside her. She groped for Pei Xiaoxing's hand and was slightly startled.

[Hey, why did it become a wolf's paw? So soft!]

[But what is the system alerting about? Has his darkening value increased again? What have I done to upset him?]

Pei Xiaoxing's whole body was stiff.

...What are they saying? Why are they all just words, but when put together, he can't understand them?

And doesn't she hate their beast forms the most?

Pei Xiaoxing's ears were burning with anxiety, but he kept silent and suppressed his sharp criticism.

As if she had touched something very happy, Sheng Ran held it tightly and wrote on the pad of her flesh, [Can you take me home?]

Pei Xiaoxing couldn't understand how things had turned out like this.

He responded muffledly, but before he could speak, Sheng Ran suddenly let go.

[Forget it, he hates me so much, I hope his dark value doesn't rise any more.]

"I--" Pei Xiaoxing looked at his empty hand and snorted coldly.

Sure enough, you are still teasing him.

Sheng Ran naturally heard the noise and was puzzled.

[I didn't do anything, but why does it feel like he's unhappy again! ]

Pei Xiaoxing: ...

We walked back in silence, but from a distance we heard deafening roars coming from their thatched hut.

Pei Xiaoxing's heart sank.

It was the howling of a large beast, coupled with the series of violent collisions, which made people shudder.

Sheng Ran subconsciously shrank back, but Pei Xiaoxing mistook it for disgust.

He pursed his lips, and sure enough, he was still the same as before.

He was overthinking it. How could she change?

[What's going on?] Communicating with the system is the most convenient way, Sheng Ran called out hurriedly.

For some reason, Pei Xiaoxing sneered first and answered her doubts:

"My wife, have you forgotten that it was you who tied Ling Rui to the shabby house with special iron chains, deprived him of food and water, and wanted to 'watch' him gradually transform into a beast. Could it be that after falling into the water, my wife not only became blind and mute, but also lost her memory?"

If an orc in this world loses their basic vital signs, they will go berserk and turn into a complete beast.

In the original owner's memory, Ling Rui was a tall and mighty black-gold lion beast with a very strong character and he refused to obey discipline.

Ordinary beatings and scolding couldn't hurt him, so the original owner used such cruel means to destroy him.

Hearing the increasingly frantic roars in her ears, Sheng Ran could already imagine Ling Rui's pain. He was afraid that he would go crazy immediately!

There was no time to send Pei Xiaoxing, so she followed the memory of this body, stumbled to find some wild fruits, scooped a bowl of water, and opened Ling Rui's door.

Pei Xiaoxing frowned: "What are you doing, my wife?"

It wasn't like he hadn't helped Ling Rui before. They were both beastly husbands, and their relationship was originally a competition, but because of the female master's viciousness and cruelty, they had a bit of sympathy.

She had sent a lot of food to Ling Rui intermittently, but every time Sheng Ran found out, they would be tortured even more brutally.

Ling Rui was able to hold on until now thanks to his secret delivery of food and his own strong will.

Isn’t Ling Rui’s miserable condition exactly what Sheng Ran wanted? Why was she so kind as to bring food in?

Just as he was thinking about it, he saw the weak female had come to the golden lion.

"An orc in a frenzy has lost all reason. Don't get close to them. You're in danger of being torn apart and devoured at any time—"

Before she could stop it, the beast had already snatched away all the food in her hand with its tongue.

The bowl of water was knocked over and broke into pieces after a crisp sound.

This amount of food that filled its teeth was obviously not enough to fill its stomach, so it opened its huge mouth and swallowed Sheng Ran.

Sheng Ran's legs were shaking.

It's not that she didn't hear Pei Xiaoxing's reminder, but at this critical moment, she still went forward with her head held high.

At this moment, the breath of the golden lion was getting closer and closer.

Sheng Ran reacted a little slowly. Didn't he return to normal after eating?

It was too late to hide. Sheng Ran secretly cried out in dismay. Why didn’t the system remind her when it should have!

The next second, the cheek was bitten by sharp teeth.

Sheng Ran thought she was going to die again, but she only felt slight pain.

They were human teeth, and they bit lightly.

She didn't know how to react, and was then licked again and again by the wet tongue.

Sheng Ran's ears burned red.

Ling Rui had turned back into human form, but some animal characteristics remained, which was why he bit and licked her.

Realizing that he was out of danger and meant no harm, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly.

Sheng Ran raised her hand, hugged the tall and broad body tightly, and couldn't help but touch his head.

[Round ears and a long tail, so cute! ]

But no one knew what had angered this beastly husband who had just become docile, and his jaw was suddenly grabbed by a big hand.

Ling Rui's breathing was unstable, as if he had finally woken up: "Sheng Ran? What are you talking about? How do you want to torture me? Why don't you just give me a quick death!"

【She spoke! 】

Sheng Ran just felt wronged, and tears welled up in her eyes because of the pain.

Ling Rui's golden hair was scattered unruly, and he looked at the female in front of him in disbelief.

Yes, didn't she just say anything? Why did her voice ring in his mind?

Seeing Ling Rui's expression, Pei Xiaoxing guessed that they had encountered the same strange thing.

He stepped forward and pried open Ling Rui's heavy hands. "My wife fell into the water today and was injured. She is now blind and mute. Let her go change her clothes first."

"She? Mute?" Ling Rui raised his voice, "I clearly heard—"

"It was my wife who saved you just now." Pei Xiaoxing interrupted, his eyes swept over Ling Rui calmly, indicating that he should be more respectful to his savior.

According to animal history records, only a few rare herbs can calm down a frenzied male beast.

In that situation, he almost thought that Sheng Ran would die.

If he really died like this...

For some reason, Pei Xiaoxing felt a sudden pain in his heart and dared not think about it anymore.

But not long ago, wasn't he the one who wanted to kill her with his own hands?
