Chapter 62: The claws and wolf tail are stuffed into Sheng Ran’s palm
As night falls, it’s time to rest after a tiring day.
Pei Xiaoxing counted the keys in Sheng Ran's hand and found that there were five in total.
"My dear wife, why did you book so many rooms?" Pei Xiaoxing was slightly surprised, and he felt a little disappointed. "Didn't we agree that every night from now on, a beast husband would be by your side to protect your safety?"
Sheng Ran nodded calmly. Of course she remembered.
But they have already arrived in Beining City, and the city’s public security is much better than that in the tribe.
What's more, they live in an inn, and the owner will hire people to guard the safety of the guests.
With so many layers of protection, why would she waste the beastly husbands' time and energy to come and stay with her all night?
[Host! You still don't seem to understand their true purpose!]
The system howled a few times in frustration.
In fact, it’s not Sheng Ran’s fault. It’s mainly because Raven, who slept with her a few nights ago, was too excited.
Raven goes to bed late and wakes up early every day, making Sheng Ran think that he didn't close his eyes all night just to protect her safety.
After arriving in Beining City, these beastly husbands are still vying for the night shift? What kind of fetish is this?
There is no need, there is really no need.
At this moment, Pei Xiaoxing suddenly hissed softly and took a breath of cold air, as if he had accidentally torn a wound and it looked a little painful.
Sheng Ran's heart suddenly tightened when she saw his left arm hanging unnaturally. His dark brocade coat was soaked in blood and had turned black. Dark red blood beads were still dripping from his fingertips.
Her expression suddenly became tense, and she hurried forward to check Pei Xiaoxing's wound.
It didn’t seem that serious just now, how come it suddenly became like this?
——Could it be that the curse in Pei Xiaoxing’s body is causing trouble again?
Sheng Ran hurriedly pulled him under the oil lamp, and only in the bright yellow light could she see clearly that the blood from the wound had not stopped, and the torn flesh was very dark in color, which was shocking to look at.
Sheng Ran immediately regretted that she had been busy doing other things and had not applied medicine to him in time.
She hurriedly searched for the herbs she had brought this time.
Pei Xiaoxing lowered his eyes and looked at her worried expression. The dark color in his eyes could not help but soften a little, but he deliberately frowned. His low voice was a little weak: "Don't worry, my wife, it doesn't hurt."
When Sheng Ran heard this, she panicked and broke out in a thin layer of sweat. Since Pei Xiaoxing said so, it must be very painful!
She carefully cleaned the wound with a clean cloth dipped in warm water. When her fingertips touched his hot skin, she clearly felt the male's muscles tense.
She moved more gently and applied crushed hemostatic herbs to the wound.
The warm herbal paste applied to the wound had a bitter smell, but it was far less heart-wrenching than the warmth from her fingertips.
Pei Xiaoxing looked at her drooping eyelashes with some grass debris on them, and the tip of her nose was slightly red due to anxiety. His heart seemed to be filled with something, warm.
Feeling that she was being stared at, Sheng Ran looked up, met that gaze directly, and looked back at Pei Xiaoxing in confusion.
How come he looks fine even though he was seriously injured?
Sheng Ran even felt that the wolf looked a little happy?
It's really weird, who would get up happily after being injured!
The wife's eyes were too pure. Pei Xiaoxing seemed to be burned by these clear eyes for a moment and looked away slightly.
Inadvertently, he met the contemptuous eyes of Ling Rui and Raven. The two beastly husbands stared at him fiercely, wishing they could pounce on him and tear Pei Xiaoxing to pieces the next second.
After all, they are all high-level male beasts with extraordinary talents, and their psychological qualities are stronger than each other.
Being stared at like that, Pei Xiaoxing remained calm, maintaining a bitter expression, "I'm afraid I'll have to ask my wife to take care of my injury for a while."
"Why don't you let me stay tonight and serve my wife."
As he spoke, he pulled out an extra key and asked the others to return it.
Ling Rui and Raven were angry, so Pei Xiaoxing naturally couldn't call them over.
He could only change his target and look for Huai Jun, who posed the least threat to him at the moment.
"Please." Pei Xiaoxing stretched out his hand to Huai Jun with confidence.
Huaijun clenched his back teeth, feeling a little impatient.
In the past, I had only watched this farce of competing for favor as a bystander, but I never expected that I would be forced to be involved in it.
Huaijun was so annoyed by this weird scene that he took it without saying a word and went to the lobby to ask the boss to cancel a room.
After Sheng Ran applied medicine and bandaged Pei Xiaoxing, she suddenly realized that they were the only two left in the room.
Is everyone so obedient tonight and going to bed so early?
She blinked in confusion, and saw Pei Xiaoxing suddenly reach out and gently pinch her wrist.
"Thank you, my wife." His voice was soft and with a hint of smile.
Sheng Ran looked up and met his deep eyes, which reflected the warm light and her shadow.
She pulled her hand away, not understanding why, and wrote on Pei Xiaoxing's palm, "Prioritize protecting yourself from now on. Don't get hurt."
Pei Xiaoxing stared silently for a moment, then spoke tentatively, "Actually... I did this injury on purpose."
Sheng Ran suddenly seemed to not understand what was said and frowned.
Pei Xiaoxing carefully observed her expression, and chose to tell the truth, "I wanted to create an opportunity to spend time with my wife, so I got hurt on purpose."
Sheng Ran was so choked by his words that she couldn't even breathe.
Anger belatedly surfaced in her eyes. After a while, she grabbed the medicine hammer next to her and wanted to hit him, but her hand stopped mid-air and pressed hard on his wound - of course she didn't dare to use too much force, she just did it out of anger, as if to vent her anger.
Pei Xiaoxing groaned, but did not hide. Instead, he looked at her red eyes, his eyes softened, and his voice became low: "I was wrong, my wife."
Sheng Ran puffed her cheeks and glared at him unhappily.
Pei Xiaoxing suddenly transformed into fluffy claws and a wolf tail, and stuffed them into Sheng Ran's hands flatteringly, "...Don't be angry."
"I felt jealous today when I saw you flying into the sky with the raven."
Ling Rui and Raven had both taken their wives on long journeys, but he hadn't.
Pei Xiaoxing also wanted to carry his wife through the vast mountains, forests and fields, or enjoy the same blue sky.
He wanted so much to have his own world with only himself that he had no choice but to resort to this last resort.
The fluffy wolf fur rubbed against her hand obediently, and Sheng Ran's heart softened all of a sudden.
Pei Xiaoxing really knew what she liked. She was completely captivated by the soft touch and couldn't let go of it and rubbed it for a long time.
After realizing her own loss of composure, Sheng Ran suddenly remembered that she was still angry and suddenly frowned again.
Pei Xiaoxing knew that Sheng Ran had been coaxed into submission, so he covered the wound she had just pressed on him and said, "Wife, it hurts..."
Sheng Ran looked doubtful and snorted lightly from the tip of her nose. She turned around to get a new piece of cloth and wrapped it around Pei Xiaoxing again. This time she was a little stronger but very careful.
Pei Xiaoxing lowered his eyes and looked at her angry face, and the corners of his mouth curled up almost imperceptibly.
They still had a long time to spend together tonight, and he couldn't push his wife too hard.
"I'll get you some water for a bath."
Pei Xiaoxing came back easily carrying a large bucket of hot water. He did not look like he was injured.
Only now did Sheng Ran realize how good of an actor he was just now.
Pei Xiaoxing gave her some private space and went out to wash clothes in the yard of the inn.
I happened to run into Ling Rui who was practicing martial arts late at night.
He attacked quickly, his hands and feet leaving afterimages, and he was sweating profusely from exhaustion. He didn't know what was wrong with him being out there at this hour.
When the two of them made eye contact, Ling Rui snorted unhappily, "Hypocritical villain."
According to Pei Xiaoxing's code of conduct, the four words he couldn't stand hearing the most were these.
I thought I would anger him, but the wolf nodded calmly and said modestly, "Same here."
Ling Rui: “?”
Pei Xiaoxing wouldn't think he was praising him, right?
