The people gathering seafood on the beach were shocked to see the two women emerge from the woods looking disheveled.
"Sister Wang, what's wrong with you?"
"How did it get like this?"
Once out of the woods, Sister Wang finally breathed a sigh of relief and plopped down on the beach.
"Don't even mention it. We just encountered a snake in the woods. It was as thick as my arm. We almost died inside and couldn't get out."
Everyone was astonished.
"What? A giant snake?"
"You've gone all the way inside?"
Sister Wang nodded repeatedly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she nodded, everyone's expressions turned horrified.
Xiang Wanwan was somewhat surprised.
Judging from everyone's expressions, it seems like they know there's a giant snake inside.
"Oh my, you guys are really lucky. There was a woman on the island who went to the innermost part of the island before, saying she was looking for some good things, but she never came out again."
"Everyone says there's a giant python inside, and that's what ate her."
"I didn't expect you guys to go without saying a word, and even manage to come out safely after encountering a giant snake!"
Xiang Wanwan was also a little scared.
If it weren't for her having a spatial dimension, and the fact that the spatial spirit tree happened to have beast-taming spirits, they wouldn't have been able to get out today.
Wang's wife patted her chest and said thankfully.
After chatting with everyone for a while, they went home.
She had just arrived home when Lu Jingnian returned, just in time to see her disheveled state.
He hurriedly dropped his handbag, walked quickly to her, and spoke with concern in his voice.
"What happened? How did it get like this?"
Xiang Wanwan recounted what had just happened to Lu Jingnian in detail, omitting the part about the elves.
Lu Jingnian frowned deeply.
Suddenly, he pulled Xiang Wanwan into his arms and held her tightly.
Xiang Wanwan was taken aback.
Then she heard Lu Jingnian's slightly trembling voice in her ear:
"Thank goodness you're alright."
These five words gave her a jolt. Was Lu Jingnian concerned about her?
Xiang Wanwan's hands, hanging by her sides, seemed unsure of where to put them.
A few minutes later, Lu Jingnian slowly released her.
He tidied Xiang Wanwan's hair, his eyes full of tenderness.
"Go change your clothes and take a shower first, I'll go cook."
"Okay!"
Xiang Wanwan replied.
That night, Xiang Wanwan unexpectedly found herself unable to sleep in bed.
She recalled Lu Jingnian's reaction during the day and felt a strange unease.
Could it be that Lu Jingnian likes her?
He had protected her before, and Xiang Wanwan always thought it was because he was his wife in name only.
Now it seems that Lu Jingnian has been quite good to me!
Xiang Wanwan turned over again, her face towards the wall.
"Squeak~"
A slight sound came from the doorway as it opened.
Then came the sound of very light footsteps approaching her bed.
Is it Lu Jingnian?
She quickly closed her eyes.
Immediately afterwards, she could feel Lu Jingnian standing in front of her bed, staring at her.
Xiang Wanwan could hear his breathing change from light to gradually becoming rapid.
A moment later, Lu Jingnian bent down and leaned close to her, then placed a kiss on her cheek.
Xiang Wanwan suddenly turned around and stared at him with wide eyes.
Lu Jingnian froze, and the two looked at each other without saying a word.
Just as she was about to say something, Lu Jingnian straightened up again, slowly walked out of the room, and even closed the door behind him.
Xiang Wanwan was completely dumbfounded.
What does this mean?
Teasing and then running away?
She suddenly rolled out of bed, opened the door, and went to the master bedroom.
At this moment, Lu Jingnian was lying in bed sleeping soundly with his eyes closed.
Is this... sleepwalking?
Lu Jingnian actually has a sleepwalking problem?
A wicked smile curled at the corner of her lips as she slowly extended her wicked little hand.
She placed a finger on Lu Jingnian's chest and then slowly slid it down his pajamas.
