"Do you think everyone has the protective power of the Vast Ocean Heart like you?" Bai Xiaoruo glared at him angrily. "For the demon race, even a little bit of this evil soul blood energy is equivalent to a devastating blow! The fact that they went in to help despite the blood energy is already a desperate act!"
"Then why not ask a high-level human cultivator for help?" Shen Yunhao retorted. "I refuse to believe that with the Wolf King's status and resources, he can't find a trustworthy human cultivator!"
"..."
Bai Xiaoruo was taken aback by the question.
Based on the current situation, the evil spirits and blood energy have almost no effect on the human race.
"And then there's that Heart-Cleansing Mantra," Shen Yunhao continued, "it's clearly effective! If one isn't enough, use two; if two aren't enough, use ten! It only costs a little! But what about them? They're so stingy, they won't even prepare a few extra!"
"To put it bluntly, judging from today's situation, the entire wolf clan doesn't seem to care about Lei Yujin's life or death as much as they claim. Wolf King Lei Hao hasn't even shown his face yet! Since they themselves don't care, why should we worry so much? It's a thankless task, and we'll only end up with a lot of complaints!"
"..."
Bai Xiaoruo opened her mouth, wanting to refute, but found that she couldn't find the right words for a moment.
But she still bit her lip and stubbornly said:
“I’ve already asked! The Wolf King is on important business as ordered by Uncle and is not currently in the clan. It’s not that he doesn’t care! If he really didn’t care, he wouldn’t have come to Uncle for help! Our demon race values bloodline inheritance. Lei Yujin is the most talented descendant of their race in a thousand years. There’s no way they would not care about her life or death!”
"Then let them find someone else who is better," Shen Yunhao said, crossing his arms again and turning his face away. "Anyway, I can't save them. My abilities are limited, and I can't help them!"
"you!"
Bai Xiaoruo was so angry that her teeth itched, and her chest heaved.
But seeing Shen Yunhao's unyielding attitude, she finally sighed in despair.
She reached out and snatched the bamboo hat off Shen Yunhao's head, saying irritably:
"Speak, what exactly do you want?"
Shen Yunhao looked around dismissively, "I don't know what you're talking about..."
"..."
Bai Xiaoruo rolled her eyes, too lazy to waste any more words with him, and suddenly lifted her skirt, straddling Shen Yunhao's lap to face him.
"What...what are you doing?" Shen Yunhao was taken aback.
Bai Xiaoruo didn't speak, but blushed and began to untie the belt around her waist.
"Cough cough...cough cough cough..." Shen Yunhao's throat was dry. "Xiao Ruo, calm down...let's talk this out, don't resort to violence..."
"Shut up!"
Bai Xiaoruo glared at him fiercely, her cheeks flushed red as if they were about to bleed.
"Say one more word and I'll bite you to death!"
"..."
Shen Yunhao immediately shut up and even made a gesture as if he were zipping up his mouth.
With the sash undone, the once-fitting white dress suddenly sagged. Bai Xiaoruo grabbed the collar and gently pulled it down, causing the dress to slip down to her shoulders, revealing her beautifully shaped collarbone and... a small, rounded curve that gleamed alluringly in the dim light.
Bai Xiaoruo was burning up, but she still forced herself to glare at him, her voice trembling:
"Hurry...hurry up! I didn't leave a note for Zhuzhu, she could come in at any time...if someone sees us...I...I'll kill myself!"
Seeing her both embarrassed and angry, clearly cowardly yet pretending to be fierce, Shen Yunhao could no longer restrain himself. He grabbed the girl's slender waist, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her.
"Hmm..."
Bai Xiaoru struggled symbolically for a moment, then softened, wrapped her arms around his neck, and unconsciously tugged at the hair at the back of his head with her fingertips.
Inside the tent, only the faint crackling sound of the spirit fire burning could be heard.
...
Outside the tent.
Xiong Da's burly figure left deep footprints in the snow. He walked to the tent door and was about to knock when Zhu Zhu stopped him.
"What's wrong?" The big man scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
Zhu Zhu didn't speak, but just squinted her eyes slightly, and those usually hazy eyes were now sparkling with rare wisdom!
"It's too quiet!"
"Oh!" Xiong Da said dismissively, "That just means the young lady didn't say anything. What's the big deal? We're not just barging in; we can just knock on the door and let her know, right?"
Zhu Zhu put her hands behind her back and sneered:
"I advise you not to go up there and ruin Miss's plans, otherwise... you'll have to bear the consequences!"
"..."
These words made Xiong Da a little insecure. After hesitating for a moment, he withdrew his hand, moved closer to Zhu Zhu, and asked in a low voice:
How did you figure that out? What happened inside?
Zhuzhu glanced at him. "Is there any need to think about it? It's so quiet, even divine senses are blocked. They must have used a silencing magic item! That's enough to show that they don't want outsiders to know what's going on inside. Let's just stay here and wait quietly, and stop thinking about anything else!"
"Aww..." Xiong Da nodded as if he understood, and after a moment of silence, he couldn't help but ask, "Then... Miss, won't you be taken advantage of being alone in a room with that boy?"
"Losing out?"
Zhuzhu seemed to have heard something extremely funny, "Do you know what it means to... take advantage and then act innocent?"
Xiong Da looked completely bewildered.
"Those two inside are both seasoned actors..."
...
I don't know how much time passed.
Inside the tent, the light from the campfire cast the shadows of two people onto the fur wall, weaving together a blurry, warm hue.
Bai Xiaoruo lay quietly against Shen Yunhao's chest, her cheek pressed against his clothes, her breathing not yet fully calm.
