Chapter 16: The male among males, the beast among beasts
Raven still carried out his invisible man's style of behavior to the end.
He disappeared as soon as he entered the house. Sheng Ran turned around and couldn't find even a shadow of him.
She drooped her eyelashes in disappointment, with many things in her mind that she had not asked.
Not only him, Pei Xiaoxing also disappeared.
Sheng Ran felt a little uneasy and walked around the house before she saw the note he left.
[My dear wife, Xiaoxing is feeling unwell and will be away for a few days.]
Just like his personality, his handwriting is neat and straight, with strong strokes and a silent sense of reliability between the horizontal and vertical lines.
Sheng Ran couldn't feel at ease and quickly summoned the system.
[He's not in good health, how come I've never heard of it? ]
Another voice came from behind and replied, "His mental strength becomes unstable near the full moon night."
Ling Rui walked in with injuries all over his body, and Sheng Ran stepped forward to help support him.
[Is it serious?]
"How would I know about their wolf tribe?" Ling Rui bared his teeth and leaned against the stone bed. "But he is already a high-level orc. Of course, he can't be compared with those wild beasts out there that easily go berserk. Anyway, I have never heard of any wolf beast being injured because of the full moon night."
Sheng Ran looked at him quietly and added helplessly.
[I'm asking you—are these injuries serious?]
Writing is an inefficient way of communication, but because the carrier is the fingertips and palms, all distances are shortened.
Ling Rui was stunned for a while, as if he was hit by something very soft.
Is his wife caring about him?
The life-and-death battle just now has invisibly changed many things.
The tense atmosphere between the two men had long since disappeared, and neither of them mentioned the basket.
Ling Rui even felt an indescribable emotion in his heart.
He knew that he could rely on his previous efforts and told Sheng Ran honestly that he was in pain.
After being exiled, Ling Rui's quality of life plummeted, and he was imprisoned for a month, so his fighting ability was no longer as strong as before.
At this moment, he was seriously injured, and his animal ears, tail and furry claws all came out, and he was about to return to his animal form.
But he still said stubbornly: "No, it doesn't matter, it doesn't hurt."
Ling Rui didn't dare let Sheng Ran treat him.
It was indeed very comfortable and effective, but Sheng Ran smelled so good that he was worried that he would say something embarrassing again.
Sheng Ran didn't know what he was still worried about at this time.
She wasn't angry anymore, but he was still uncomfortable.
Without paying any attention to his answer, Sheng Ran picked some grass from the yard, crushed it and applied medicine to him.
Ling Rui discovered that the weeds this time were different from the last time.
It seems that Sheng Ran really has a special physique, and it is not just targeting a specific species, but all kinds of grass?
—Or more broadly, all plants?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Ling Rui was shocked.
Is it really that magical? He has never heard of such an ability.
In order to avoid the situation like last time, Ling Rui kept talking to divert his attention.
"Today's assassins are from Central City. The weapons they use are all tainted with the Ghost Face Pavilion's poison, which will cause a person to rot and die."
"Fortunately, my wife has a special physical condition, so they couldn't succeed."
"It's a pity that I didn't catch up with that person alive, otherwise I would definitely find out who was behind this!"
Sheng Ran nodded dejectedly. The memories she inherited were not clear, and she had no idea how many enemies the original owner had in Central City.
How hateful must he be to go all the way to take her life!
[If this is true, won't my life at the end of this chapter be peaceful from now on?]
"Don't worry, my dear wife," Ling Rui comforted her awkwardly, "The tribe is still very safe. They only have a chance to take advantage of us if we enter the mountains today. What's more... we have a few of us here to protect you."
Zhangwei Village is named after the mountain it is located in, but it is just a small piece of land at the foot of the mountain.
This place is still ruled by the central city and has the most basic order and peace.
The situation on the mountain is much more complicated.
The god who rationally manages all creatures in the mountain has been asleep for many years, causing the energy of the entire mountain to be chaotic.
Sheng Ran nodded, not quite understanding what he meant. No wonder Raven said it was "evil spirit".
After applying medicine to Ling Rui, she also treated the wound on her cheek.
She didn't know if it was her illusion, but she always felt that there was something strange in the way Ling Rui looked at her.
Moreover, he peeked at her very frequently.
Sheng Ran touched her face, confused.
"My wife's face..." Ling Rui explained stiffly, "It's a little better."
Sheng Ran was surprised and quickly ran to the bronze mirror to take a closer look.
My eye disease hasn't completely healed yet, so if I want to see clearly, I have to get very close.
Sheng Ran observed it carefully and stroked it. It seemed to be smoother and softer than last time.
She couldn't help but guess: [Is it because I applied the medicine to myself just now?]
He was almost going crazy searching the system data, his tone becoming increasingly agitated: [No, no, no, your healing talent can only play a supporting role in the already established blindness and disfigurement. The real reason is that I found out that you have gained love points!]
Sheng Ran suspected that the system was confused.
These beastly husbands didn't have time to hate her. Even Pei Xiaoxing, who was the easiest to talk to, had a blackening value of 23. How could he have an extra love value out of thin air?
[Absolutely true! There are three love points in total, two of which come from me! The other one is from someone who isn't the target, so I can't find it. But this also means that any contribution from someone close to you counts!]
[The host can take good care of the interpersonal relationships at the end of the chapter, maybe you can also receive help from the villagers and neighbors! ]
That’s a good idea!
Sheng Ran suddenly understood.
[You also have two points of love for me? ]
She couldn't believe it.
[Of course I have feelings too! The host is so outstanding, he deserves to be loved!]
Sheng Ran was flattered by the system's words. This meant that there was no need to start with the beastly husband to gain love.
Then we should find a way to lower the black value and dissolve the engagement as soon as possible!
Sheng Ran came to the kitchen with great fantasies.
I only picked half a basket of mushrooms today before I was stabbed, but fortunately it was enough.
There was meat, flour and plenty of oil at home, and Sheng Ran had an idea to make fried mushrooms and fried crispy pork!
This kind of food that can be used as a snack is most suitable for giving as a gift. If she makes more, she can also win the favor of her neighbors!
Sheng Ran did what she said and hurried to the cellar to get the ingredients.
The moment you step into the ice storage, the cold hits you in the face.
There seemed to be some trace of Pei Xiaoxing still lingering in the air.
Sheng Ran couldn't help but worry about him.
The giant wolf that attacked them today was most likely also affected by the full moon night, but it had no human consciousness and went berserk.
I don’t know where Pei Xiaoxing went or what will happen.
Just as I was thinking about it, Ling Rui took the thing in my hand.
His injury hadn't healed yet, and Sheng Ran didn't actually expect him to do anything.
Ling Rui insisted, "You tell me to do it, and I'll do it."
Sheng Ran couldn't help but look at him a few more times.
Is this the mutual dependence, the suspension bridge effect?
[There are only two of us left at home. I didn't expect Ling Rui to be so reliable.]
[He's usually unreliable, but he's so responsible at critical moments.]
【Why didn’t I realize he was quite manly before? 】
Ling Rui couldn't help but shake his lion tail.
Masculinity?
What this means is that he is the most masculine of males and the most beastly of beasts?
His wife is praising him!
He tried hard to control his expression, turned his face away, and his ears turned red. "...That's enough, no more."
Sheng Ran blinked in confusion.
Why should a mute be silenced?
