The snake's tail tip gently coiled around Jiang Zheyu's wrist, slowly pulling it towards its body.
Jiang Zheyu then placed his spiritual hand on the giant snake's body, feeling the fine, cool scales on his palm.
Jiang Zheyu was still in a daze, unable to understand what the giant snake was going to do.
The giant snake saw her hand on its body but didn't move. It gently patted the ground with its tail, seemingly becoming agitated.
So the snake's tail tip gently poked and pressed the back of her stick figure's hand, and Jiang Zheyu's stick figure's palm also gently touched the snake's body, so that she could feel the cold, smooth touch of those fine snake scales even more.
Jiang Zheyu seemed to realize that it just wanted her to touch it, not to have a spiritual connection with her.
She breathed a slight sigh of relief and gently stroked the snake's body with her stick figure hand.
The enormous black snake narrowed its vertical pupils slightly, lowered its massive head, and extended its forked tongue to lick the stick figure's head repeatedly, seemingly encouraging her, rewarding her, or perhaps treating it as an intimate caress between animal lovers.
Jiang Zheyu was trapped in the middle of the giant snake and could not move.
A short while later, Jiang Zheyu noticed something was wrong with her calves; she realized that the giant snake was in heat again.
Her heart, which had been at ease, began to pound again. Could it be that in the end, they would still have to engage in spiritual intercourse?
However, Jiang Zheyu discovered that the mental domain that had previously confined her had opened up.
The giant snake rested its head on its own body, its head tilted towards her, its red eyes quietly watching her, those vertical red pupils carrying obvious pleasure and desire.
Jiang Zheyu quickly left Su Yan's mental domain.
This also served as a reminder to her that orcs with higher mental strength than her could completely control her.
She needs to accelerate the purification of her beast transformation value and increase her mental strength level.
After Jiang Zheyu's mental energy returned, she gently opened her eyes and found that Su Yan was hugging her tightly again, burying his head in her neck like a cat.
"Yu Yu, I love you..." Su Yan murmured softly.
Jiang Zheyu's cheeks flushed, but she still pushed the person away.
Su Yan moved slightly away, and right in front of her, his eyes, filled with undisguised lust, looked at her with tender affection.
"Alright!" Jiang Zheyu needed to stand up for herself and not let this man have her completely under his thumb. "You're not allowed to sleep here tonight. Go back."
Su Yan simply lowered his head and kissed the corner of her lips. He knew she had walked a long way today and couldn't bear to torment her tonight. He took her hand and pressed it against his face, his voice soft: "My lady, how wonderful it would be if you were always mine alone."
The way he pressed her palm against his face was somewhat similar to the way the black snake in the spiritual realm had her stick figure's palm pressed against its body.
Jiang Zheyu was suddenly able to connect them together; the spiritual body was, after all, the most straightforward way for the individual to express themselves.
She paused slightly after hearing Su Yan's words.
Su Yan's identity would prevent him from taking her away, and his mission to serve the empire would not allow him to easily abandon his Crimson Shadow Armor.
A single red-clad battle armor seems to bear the glory bestowed upon it by the masses, and behind this glory lies a responsibility.
“Yu Yu, my beast transformation value has dropped to 58.” Su Yan hugged Jiang Zheyu tightly, and after a long silence, his voice was low, and his red eyes were somewhat dim. “I will return to the front line battlefield, so I can’t stay by your side all the time. You need other male beastmen to protect you.”
So Feng Qi isn't a good person, but after four years at the Imperial Military Academy and ten years on the front lines, Su Yan can confirm that Feng Qi is at least somewhat qualified to be the beast husband of the female master.
Su Yan couldn't say these words aloud, feeling stifled inside.
Jiang Zheyu paused for a moment after hearing Su Yan's words, but then he understood and remembered the rumors about Su Yan's Red Shadow Armor on the Star Network.
His Crimson Shadow Armor shouldn't have been buried like this. She helped him purify his beast transformation value, allowing his Crimson Shadow Armor to return to the battlefield once again.
She saw the Red Shadow Armor on the StarNet and thought it was really cool, like it was born for the battlefield.
“It’s okay, going back to the front lines doesn’t mean you’re never coming home.” Jiang Zheyu hugged him back. “I have my own ways of matching with orcs later.”
"You have a plan?" Su Yan's red eyes turned slightly cold, but his voice was extremely calm. "Mistress, have you chosen a beastman you like?"
Before Jiang Zheyu could speak, Su Yan interrupted, "Doctor Li? Or that white tiger beastman from StarNet? Or that white cat beastman? Or Feng Qi?"
The questions, uttered with a hint of jealousy, nearly knocked Jiang Zheyu unconscious.
"No," Jiang Zheyu explained helplessly, "I only like you right now, I don't like any other beastmen. I'll buy some beastmen to deal with the forced matchmaking for now."
"Right now?" Su Yan gritted his teeth slightly, his red eyes fixed on her.
Jiang Zheyu paused for a moment, then inadvertently blurted out his inner thoughts.
That's what she said for now. If Su Yan falls for the female lead in the future, she won't be hung up on one person.
Just like her deceased modern tycoon, she will not remain a widow for him.
Jiang Zheyu considers himself to be a fairly realistic person.
"Then, then I only like you, okay?" Jiang Zheyu saw that the person in front of her had turned pale, so she quickly started to coax him.
"Yes, you can only like me." Su Yan hugged Jiang Zheyu again.
For a fleeting moment, Su Yan really wanted to hide her away so that the imperial army wouldn't discover the special nature of her spiritual power, nor would they discover his treasure trove of fish.
Su Yan held Jiang Zheyu in silence for a long time.
"When are you going back to the front lines?" Jiang Zheyu asked softly, still a little worried, afraid that something might happen to Su Yan at the front lines. She still liked him after all. "I'll help you purify your beast transformation value before you go back."
"Hmm, no rush." Su Yan pinched her ear.
He also wanted to settle her in first before applying to return to the front lines.
"Yuyu, can you stay tonight?" Su Yan gently stroked her neck with his hand. "Don't do anything, just get some sleep."
Jiang Zheyu felt a little soft-hearted, wondering how many more opportunities they would have to meet after Su Yan returned to the army.
So she nodded.
Su Yan slightly curved his lips, his red eyes filled with a smile and an intensely suppressed longing.
So Su Yan lay down on the same bed with Jiang Zheyu in his arms.
Although the person next to her seemed to be getting hot again, he kept his word and simply held her without making any other moves.
Jiang Zheyu drifted off to sleep again, half-asleep and half-awake.
The man's long, powerful legs on the bed transformed into a huge, dark, textured snake tail.
Jiang Zheyu was completely unaware.
