Chapter 173 It’s too fast, let’s hold hands first; to be honest, I was quite nervous for the first time
Teng Xi pulled the corner of his mouth forcefully, not making any comment on Ye Li's words.
The two sat face to face in the carriage. Ye Li was the only one talking along the way, while Teng Xi listened silently on the other side, nodding and agreeing from time to time.
The carriage traveled from dusk to dawn and then to dusk again, gradually moving out of the ruling area of the Teng Snake Empire.
It was cloudy outside with occasional strong winds. It looked like it was going to rain.
Teng Xi found an inn for the coachman and themselves to rest.
The inn is made up of a three-story wooden building. It looks plain on the outside but is beautifully decorated on the inside, with a faint floral scent floating in the air.
"Tonight, I'll stay in this room and you'll live next to me. It will be convenient for you to come to me if anything happens." This was the longest sentence Teng Xi had said since they set out.
Ye Li nodded and said yes. Although she agreed, what she was thinking about was how to sleep in the same room with Teng Xi.
What kind of excuse should I find?
Suddenly, there was a bright light coming from the window, followed by a deafening noise. Ye Li's eyes lit up. Wasn't this her excuse?
"Master Tengxi, can we sleep together tonight? Don't worry, I can sleep on the floor. I'm afraid of thunder."
Ye Li's words were full of coquettishness. She pulled Teng Xi's sleeve and shook him back and forth, with a pitiful look flashing in her deer-like eyes.
Teng Xi just looked at Ye Li like that, neither agreeing nor refusing, with a complicated look in his eyes.
At this moment, the thunder outside exploded again, carrying a strong momentum and deafening.
Ye Li took the opportunity to scream and dived directly into Teng Xi's arms, "Master Teng Xi, hold me, I'm scared."
Teng Xi's body stiffened immediately, and he didn't know where to put his raised hand.
"Come and sleep together. It will be convenient for me to treat Master Tengxi." Ye Li rubbed against Tengxi's arms.
The sandalwood scent on Teng Xi's body and the faint floral scent in the inn mixed together to create a magical fragrance.
"No, it's not appropriate for a man and a woman like us to be in the same room. What's more, I'm a male who is engaged and unmarried." Teng Xi tried to use his sense of morality to persuade Ye Li to retreat.
"Master Tengxi, what you said is true. We are not doing anything. It's not like we haven't been in the same room before."
Seeing the rejection in Teng Xi's eyes, Ye Li pouted in an unhappy tone.
"Since Lord Tengxi is so unwilling, I will stay in your room for a while. I will go back when the rain stops."
"Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." After saying that, Ye Li took Teng Xi's wrist and walked into the house.
The interior of the house was decorated in a simple and elegant style, without any cumbersome furniture. There was a large window set on the wall, and the light from the lightning outside shone in through the window.
A fine and dense drizzle slanted in from outside the house. Teng Xi moved forward to block out the drizzle, lightning and thunder outside.
When he turned around and looked back, Ye Li was sitting on the only big bed in the room, looking at him with a smile in her eyes and patting the seat next to her.
"Master Tengxi, come and sit down."
Teng Xi moved uncoordinatedly to Ye Li's side, keeping a distance of nearly one meter between them, neither too close nor too distant.
"Master Tengxi, why are you so far away from me? I can't eat you." After saying that, Ye Li took a step closer to Tengxi, and their legs touched each other.
Ye Li's exposed thighs scraped against the dense scales of the snake's tail under Teng Xi, causing Teng Xi to retreat to the other side of the bed.
Teng Xi lowered his eyes, not daring to look into Ye Li's charming eyes that were full of charm.
"Master Tengxi, can't you consider me? Don't you like me at all?"
Lord Tengxi, look at me~ I don't believe your eyes are empty~
Until Teng Xi was cornered and had nowhere to retreat, he lowered his eyes, his pretty lips tightly pursed together, looking like a decent woman who was about to be molested.
Ye Li's mouth curled up into a faint smile. Teng Xi's appearance aroused his interest in teasing. His gentle voice kept floating in the air, with a hint of coaxing.
"Master Tengxi, I swear that as long as you are willing to be my bestial husband, then I, Jiuli, will only have you as my bestial husband from now on."
But...what does Jiuli's affairs have to do with her, Ye Li?
Ye Li's light purple eyes were filled with sincerity, and her long eyelashes fluttered like butterflies.
"Really?" Teng Xi's lips trembled slightly, his eyes filled with disbelief.
In this beast world where there are more males than females, females who are willing to have only one beast husband for their entire life are definitely a rare species.
Ye Li's words moved Teng Xi's eyes for a moment.
Even if it was the female who was engaged to her, Teng Xi could not guarantee that he would be the only beastly husband in her life.
"Of course it's true, so Lord Tengxi, just obey me."
"As long as I am here, even if you are fatally injured later, I can still bring you back to health."
"Having me is like having a second, third, fourth, fifth, or sixth life."
Ye Li kept coaxing Teng Xi into his ear, and sure enough, after hearing what Ye Li said, Teng Xi's favorability increased by another 10%, and now it has reached 60%.
However, when Teng Xi recalled the abnormal red marks on Ye Li's neck, his eyes darkened again, and his favorability dropped by 5%.
"Then can you avoid the smell of other male animals from now on?"
Ye Li's eyes lit up, it seemed like there was a chance, she slowly approached Teng Xi, "Of course, now that I have our Master Teng Xi, why would I want another beast husband?"
Ye Li bent one leg and knelt on the bed, leaning her slender, jade-white arms on the wall, trapping Teng Xi between herself and the wall.
Condescendingly, she leaned over and moved closer to Tengxi's lips, "Come, Master Tengxi, let's kiss."
Not knowing whether a kiss could increase favorability, Ye Li decided to give it a try.
Just when Ye Li was about to kiss Teng Xi's lips, a large hand covered her lips tightly, preventing her from taking the next step.
A series of whimpering sounds came from Ye Li's lips.
"Too fast, let's hold hands first." After saying that, Teng Xi gently placed his large palm on the back of Ye Li's hand, his movements filled with caution.
Yo yo yo ~ You don’t want to have a platonic relationship with me, do you? She is a little female who wants to eat meat, okay ~ she doesn’t really want to engage in pure love.
Wouldn't it be better to finish that thing early, complete the task early, and run away early?
Although she thought so, Ye Li could not reveal her true thoughts. She put on a forced smile and raised her hand to pat the back of Teng Xi's hand.
"Okay~ To be honest, I was pretty nervous the first time~"
