Chapter 148: Chapter 148: Fluffy

Hearing these words, everyone in the Peacock Family was completely dumbfounded.

"Two Peacock Beast Cubs?"

Their Peacock Family hadn’t had any recently. Where did two Peacock Beast Cubs spring from? Everyone was baffled. However, since the ancestor’s remnant soul had delivered such an important message, it surely concerned the family’s rise or fall, and they didn’t dare neglect it. After the remnant shadow vanished, they initiated a thorough investigation across the entire family.

As for Que Hongjin, he was currently unaware of this news. At this moment, he was still in secluded cultivation within the Spirit Pool of the family’s ancestral land, working to improve his strength.

While absorbing the Spiritual Energy from the ancestral land’s Spirit Pool in seclusion, Que Hongjin’s heart was inexplicably pounding hard. He couldn’t help but think of Su Luo. He wondered how she was doing now.

The more he thought about Qiao Suluo, the more Que Hongjin wanted to improve his strength as quickly as possible. Within the Peacock Family, strength dictated everything. As long as he possessed enough strength and secured enough authority within the family, he could bring Su Luo and the others to the Beast Emperor City as soon as possible.

But right now, his strength was insufficient, and he had to tread carefully. Otherwise, rashly bringing his wife over would only put them in danger. Therefore, Que Hongjin knew exactly what he needed to do. It was just that whenever he thought of his wife, he missed her so much that his heart ached fiercely.

Meanwhile.

Qiao Suluo knew nothing about Que Hongjin’s situation, let alone what was happening with the Peacock Family. Ever since she gave birth, Bai Qianluo and the others had taken care of her with the utmost meticulousness. Even Gu Songlan came over personally to check her pulse, ensuring she was completely fine.

Ever since she drank the Spiritual Spring Water and used her Wood Element Ability to nurse her body, Qiao Suluo’s health had been excellent. Even Qin Wushang personally delivered a lot of items. The things Qin Wushang brought were carefully selected by him personally. They were all supplies that Qiao Suluo currently needed, including things for the babies to eat and use, as well as a baby hammock. Qiao Suluo couldn’t help but sigh in her heart, thinking that Qin Wushang was very attentive.

Three days later.

Both babies started calling her "Mother" in a milky, affectionate voice. Seeing their pretty, soft, and adorable appearances, Qiao Suluo’s heart was melting.

"So cute."

Qiao Suluo prepared formula milk and cooked rice paste for them. No matter what she made, the two babies were very cooperative and ate it all without being picky. Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan also made many clothes and toys for the two babies and accompanied them to play.

They would also call out, "Granpa Bai, Daddy Chu."

As for Tushan Feishang, ever since the day Qiao Suluo finished repairing his last tail, he had fallen into a coma and hadn’t woken up. Had the system not assured her that Tushan Feishang was fine, Qiao Suluo would have been worried sick.

However, she still visited Tushan Feishang’s room every day to check on him. She would take his pulse and infuse some Wood Element Ability into him to ensure his body was alright. Even while Tushan Feishang was in a deep sleep, the surrounding Spiritual Energy swirled like a vortex, continuously surging into his body. A faint glow lingered around his entire figure.

On the fourth day.

Qiao Suluo came to see Tushan Feishang as usual. She had just infused some Wood Element Ability into him when he finally woke up.

"You’re awake! That’s wonderful." Seeing that Tushan Feishang was awake, a look of pleasant surprise filled Qiao Suluo’s eyes.

Having just woken up, Tushan Feishang was still in a bit of a daze and hadn’t fully regained his senses. But upon seeing Qiao Suluo by his side, his eyes softened. As he sat up, he could feel that his previously severed meridians had been reconnected and healed. His meridians were even wider than before, allowing him to absorb and circulate Spiritual Energy faster and more effortlessly. The internal injuries that used to cause him pain were fully repaired as well.

Not only that, but his tails were completely restored. Unable to hold back, Tushan Feishang suddenly released all nine tails behind him. The nine purple tails swayed through the air, looking absolutely beautiful.

Looking into Qiao Suluo’s bright eyes, Tushan Feishang’s fox-like eyes carried a doting expression. "Want to touch?"

Qiao Suluo nodded vigorously. "Yes. Is it okay?"

She had a weakness for anything fluffy. Unfortunately, neither Bai Qianluo nor Chu Moyuan, who were currently by her side, were fluffy Beastmen in their true forms. Only Tushan Feishang was.

Tushan Feishang looked at her with amusement and said softly, "I am your Beast Husband. You can touch them whenever you want." Saying this, he stretched out a tail and rested it by her hand, making it easy for her to reach out and grab.

Qiao Suluo stroked the fox tail, finding the fluffy sensation incredibly comforting. Back in the technological era, she had read in books that foxes carried a distinct odor. However, Tushan Feishang didn’t have the slightest musky smell; he only gave off a faint, enchanting, hidden fragrance.

"It feels so good."

Qiao Suluo stroked the fox tail, her fingers moving continuously. It felt like burying her hands in sun-drenched cotton batting on a winter’s day—the fur was fine, soft, and fluffy. As she gently touched it, the fox tail even interacted with her, rubbing against the back of her hand and making it tickle. It was as if something gently scratched at her heartstrings.

"HEHE, it tickles..."

Qiao Suluo giggled, feeling the itch in her palm, yet the tail continued to lightly scratch against it. She trailed her hand further down the tail.

Tushan Feishang’s long, narrow eyes darkened slightly, and his voice turned a bit hoarse. "Does my wife like it?"

"Mhm, I love it." She just loved this kind of fluffy touch.

Lowering his voice slightly, Tushan Feishang whispered into Qiao Suluo’s ear, "Since my wife likes it, how about I stay by your side every night while you sleep and let you touch this fur?

"I will turn into my true form. It will be very comfortable."

Qiao Suluo instinctively nodded. "Sure."

Hearing her answer, Tushan Feishang let out a soft chuckle. "You promised me, wife."

Once Qiao Suluo finally processed what had been said, she stammered, "Well, I misspoke just now. I still have to take care of the two babies."

Qiao Suluo had named them Da Bao and Second Treasure, figuring she would wait for Que Hongjin to return so he could give them their formal names. According to the customs and rules of the Beast World Continent, it was always the beast cubs’ father who taught and cared for them; it was extremely rare for a mother to do so. Since both babies were Peacock Beast Cubs, the system had told her that they needed Que Hongjin to teach them how to fly and how to learn the abilities of the Peacock Family.

Her current body was that of a Cat Beastman. She couldn’t fly, so she had no way of teaching the cubs.

"I’ll take care of them," Tushan Feishang said softly. He reached out and gently touched her cheek.

He was deeply grateful to her. If it weren’t for her, his body would never have recovered, and his tails could never have been restored—let alone his strength. Now that everything was restored, he could do whatever he wanted. With his strength back, he no longer needed to fear anything and could reclaim everything that belonged to him.

At this moment, he wished he could just pull her into his arms and intimately embrace her. Unfortunately, having just woken up, his germaphobe tendencies meant he desperately needed to wash up first.

"I’m going to wash up." Saying that, Tushan Feishang headed off to take a bath and freshen up.

Qiao Suluo figured that since Tushan Feishang had slept for so long, he probably hadn’t eaten properly, so she decided to make him some food first. Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan were currently coaxing Da Bao and Second Treasure, so she didn’t have to worry about a thing.

She headed to the kitchen and made some century egg and lean pork congee. Concerned about Tushan Feishang’s digestion, she opted for porridge to help warm his stomach first.

While Qiao Suluo was busy making the porridge, a refreshing, hidden fragrance wafted over. Before she could react, a fox tail wrapped around her calves and slowly hooked upwards. Qiao Suluo’s legs turned to jelly. Losing her footing, she fell right into Tushan Feishang’s waiting arms.

"Stop... stop messing around, I’m cooking."

"Mhm, I know. You just keep cooking. I won’t do anything; I just want to thank my wife."

As he spoke, Tushan Feishang’s lips descended. Perhaps only through this method could he truly express the deep emotion and gratitude swelling in his heart.
