Chapter 22: Give Him a Bone
Hearing some noise in his wife's room, Ling Rui immediately got up to check.
After realizing who was in the room, he rubbed his eyes and lowered his guard.
Subconsciously, I thought Sheng Ran was teaching Raven a lesson again.
This didn't seem like something she would do recently, but the stereotype was so deeply ingrained that he couldn't think of any other possibility.
Noticing the abnormal redness of the raven's ears, Ling Rui wondered what kind of torture this bird had endured at the hands of its mistress. How could it possibly be—
wrong.
Ling Rui suddenly woke up.
What are they doing? Why is the raven holding the wife's hand?
"Wife, don't you forbid him to appear in front of you?"
When did they become so close?
As beastly husbands, Raven has always had a bad relationship with the others.
He was already used to the offense in Ling Rui's tone, and without even raising his eyelids, he stepped back.
This reminded him.
The oil lamp was still on in the room. Sheng Ran hated his animal form the most and felt disgusted at just one glance at it.
If you saw his wings, you would definitely let him go, right?
The raven suddenly spread the black wings on its spine, casting a dark shadow with silent oppression.
It was just a beating, he was used to it.
Sheng Ran stepped forward and looked at it carefully, with starlight in her watery pupils.
[Wow—big, fluffy, and soft wings!]
This is so beautiful!
【It must be very warm to cover yourself up when the weather gets cold! 】
【It is both beautiful and practical, I love it! 】
Sheng Ran was immersed in it for a moment and couldn't help but touch it.
Raven looked stunned and exchanged glances with Ling Rui, his emotions unclear.
The two looked at each other and confirmed that they had heard correctly, this was what came from Sheng Ran's heart.
Ling Rui couldn't help but look at Raven again.
What on earth did this bird do? Did he go to learn witchcraft? How did he bewitch his wife like this?
But then again, since the wife is willing to redeem Huaijun and Tushanyi and bring them home, it is normal for her to accept Raven again.
Ling Rui told himself in his heart that there was no competition between them, and it didn't matter if there was one more or one less.
But I still feel awkward, and always feel that my position is even more precarious.
He spoke in a stiff tone, "Wife, lion hair... is actually very comfortable."
Sheng Ran had no idea that her thoughts were heard clearly. She just looked at Ling Rui in surprise, not knowing what was going on.
She was stunned for a moment, and the raven shook its wings and pulled it out of her hand.
"Aren't you tired of pretending?" He stared at me with his dark, lifeless eyes, and suddenly said in a cold voice, "Master, what on earth are you pretending for?"
"I've already said it before, if you want to do anything to me, just do it directly."
"There's no need for so much preparation and going around in circles. It's a waste of time."
"I am just a lowly slave. I have no right to eat and sleep with you, and I have never dreamed of doing so."
"Your tricks won't work on me. There's no need to try any further."
Raven's words brought the atmosphere to a freezing point.
Ling Rui was displeased when he heard his attitude: "How can a bird like you talk to your wife?"
So Sheng Ran just invited him to sleep with her? He didn't even get that treatment!
Why is the raven still getting ahead of itself?
"She's kind to you, don't be ungrateful."
"Pei Xiaoxing and I can testify that my wife has changed a lot."
"We are all her beastly husbands. From now on, during our exile at the end of the chapter, we will serve her well, take care of her, and fulfill our duties together."
Ling Rui's words did not move Raven at all.
Raven clenched his teeth, his clenched fists shaking uncontrollably.
Restraining his emotions, he snorted softly, uttering only two words, "Idiot."
Ling Rui was furious: "Who are you talking about?"
"Of course it's you and Pei Xiaoxing - two idiots." Raven lowered his jaw and didn't even look at Sheng Ran.
What he said next would definitely anger her. Raven didn't dare to think about the consequences. No matter what, he had to expose her mask.
"She just offered a little sweet treat, and you foolishly jumped on her."
"You guys are happy to be played around by her, but I won't play along."
It was the first time Ling Rui heard Raven talk so much, and he almost couldn't react.
Not wanting to continue arguing at this point, he controlled his temper and communicated, "My wife is truly treating us well this time, why are you still holding a grudge against us?"
Raven straightened his lips without a trace of smile: "Stop making sarcastic remarks."
"It wasn't you who had your wings broken by her, it wasn't you who signed a death pact with her, and it wasn't you who was trapped by her and tortured for twenty years."
Ling Rui could still wait foolishly with the hope of canceling the engagement, but he couldn't.
His life is no longer his own.
"But..." Ling Rui wanted to say something, but was gently pulled back by Sheng Ran.
Her smile disappeared, she bit her lips and stammered, her expression was ugly, and the corners of her eyes were red.
Sheng Ran tried to speak, but her throat seemed to be sealed with cement and she couldn't utter a single word.
Raven wouldn't meet her eyes.
He always felt that Sheng Ran looked a little aggrieved, as if she had been wronged by him.
But was he wrong?
Wasn't it because of that death contract that she hurt herself unscrupulously and forced him to appear?
As long as she is in pain, he will feel more pain.
But he was injured, but she was fine.
What an unfair contract.
Raven did not leave immediately. He took the long thorny whip from the wall and handed it to Sheng Ran.
She was so angry that she would not stop until she beat him up.
Sheng Ran took it and looked at it with an expression of pity. It was hard to imagine how Raven had been treated in the past.
Her hands were shaking a little, but she walked out with the long whip, all the way to the cliff outside the house.
With a wave of his hand, he threw this cruel torture device down the cliff.
Neither whips nor past abuses will appear in this home.
She did not explain to the two beastly husbands or give them another look, but returned to her room in silence.
That night, Sheng Ran couldn't sleep for the first time in her life. She sadly asked the system, "Is there any way to break the blood connection between me and Raven?"
She couldn't bear the responsibility of taking a human life.
When she sets the raven free, she is also setting herself free.
The death contract cannot be dissolved, and the marriage contract cannot be dissolved either. Is she going to let Raven live with resentment beside her forever?
The system was silent for a long time, [There is a solution.]
[This death contract could originally be dissolved by mixing the blood of the two of you, but the original owner dug out a bone from him, binding the contract even tighter. Unless the host...]
【You take off a bone and return it to him.】
The mechanical voice in her mind fell, but Sheng Ran did not respond at all.
The system doesn't dare to pry into the host's mind. Also, anyone who hears it will be shocked.
This wasn't her fault in the first place, there was no need to go to this extent.
[Host, please wait a moment. I have already applied to the General Administration to reduce one of your capture targets.]
[No matter how high his Darkness Points are, he will never attack you because of this Death Contract.]
[Just stay the same as before and don't bother with him.]
