Chapter 149: Chapter 149: Melted by Cuteness

Tushan Feishang’s kiss was gentle and lingering, restrained yet passionate, invasive yet tender. Qiao Suluo was completely powerless to resist. Her entire body went limp in Tushan Feishang’s embrace.

Tushan Feishang looked down at the person in his arms. She leaned obediently against his chest, her eyelashes fluttering lightly like the wings of a butterfly. It was as if they had landed right on his heartstrings, making them tremble in sync. His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, as if scorched by this sudden surge of emotion. His arms wrapped tightly around Qiao Suluo. His breathing gradually grew scorching hot. The nine tails behind him entwined her, wishing they could be pressed intimately together with no space between them.

Seeing her clothes being pulled down by the fox tails, Qiao Suluo felt a chill in the air and snapped back to her senses. She grabbed Tushan Feishang’s hand, her breathing ragged. "It’s still daytime."

Looking up, Qiao Suluo met Tushan Feishang’s gaze. She was captivated by his long, narrow, and enchanting fox eyes, almost losing herself in his aura once again. She turned her head slightly to the side to maintain her rationality.

Tushan Feishang reined in his aggressiveness and retracted his tails. He hugged Qiao Suluo gently, lowering his head to bury his face in her neck. Taking a deep breath of her sweet scent, he said in a low, hoarse voice, "Yes, it’s my fault. I was too impatient. Too impatient to Contract. Wife, shall we Contract tonight?"

"To... tonight?" Although Qiao Suluo had mentally prepared herself beforehand, she hadn’t expected Tushan Feishang to be so direct.

Not hearing an answer, Tushan Feishang reached out to gently stroke her cheek. "Do you not want to, wife?

"I am your Beast Husband, wife. I rightfully belong to you.

"Or is it that you aren’t ready?

"I suppose I should say that I can wait for you, but what can I do? I don’t want to wait."

His wife was the best female in the world. He didn’t want to wait; he only wanted to solidify their relationship as soon as possible. Only by Contracting would they truly belong to each other. Only then would they leave a mate’s mark on one another.

Qiao Suluo wasn’t opposed to the idea; she was just thinking.

At this moment, the system spoke up excitedly. "Host, you should Contract! He’s a pureblood fox beast of the Qingqiu Clan with a powerful bloodline. Once you two Contract, there will definitely be rewards.

"Besides, Beastmen recover very quickly after giving birth to cubs, not to mention you have your Wood Element Ability. On the very same day, your body not only recovered but its constitution was enhanced. There’s nothing to worry about.

"Furthermore, he is your Beast Husband. You’ll have to Contract with him sooner or later.

"After Contracting, they’ll be even less likely to turn to the dark side."

Listening to the system’s words, Qiao Suluo leaned against Tushan Feishang’s chest and nodded. "Okay."

Seeing her nod in agreement, a smile blossomed on Tushan Feishang’s face. He wished it could be nightfall immediately. "I’ll help you cook, wife."

In the past, Tushan Feishang naturally didn’t know how to cook. But now, for his wife’s sake, he had even learned how to tend the fire. After simmering the porridge and preparing a few dishes, Qiao Suluo went to call Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan over for the meal.

Chu Moyuan had long since built two high chairs according to Qiao Suluo’s instructions to make mealtime easier. Qiao Suluo had no experience taking care of beast cubs, but the two babies were very well-behaved and obedient. Normally, they just ate and slept, rarely crying or making a fuss.

However, when she picked up Da Bao, Second Treasure reached out his chubby little hands and called out to her adorably, "Mom, hug."

Qiao Suluo looked at Second Treasure in amusement. "Mom will put your big brother down first, then I’ll hold you." After placing Da Bao in his high chair, she picked up Second Treasure. "You two sit up here while Mom makes some formula for you to drink."

Feeling bad for Qiao Suluo’s hard work, Bai Qianluo said, "I’ll make it."

Over the past three days, Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan had already learned how to take care of the two babies. Qiao Suluo felt a bit embarrassed. These were Que Hongjin’s peacock cubs, yet Bai Qianluo and Chu Moyuan were the ones helping her take care of them every day.

"Sorry to trouble you."

"It’s no trouble. We are a family." Bai Qianluo shook his head helplessly. In other families, the females took it for granted that the males would do everything for them. But in their home, their wife often felt embarrassed to ask them to do chores.

Once the formula was ready, everyone sat down to eat together.

"Try the century egg and lean meat porridge I just made."

Chu Moyuan scooped up a spoonful and put it in his mouth. He froze for a moment before taking a second and third spoonful, unable to stop himself from nodding. "It’s delicious. I never thought porridge could be savory." It tasted completely different from the porridges he had eaten before.

Taking a bite, Tushan Feishang revealed a look of sheer amazement. The grains of rice had long since become soft and glutinous from the slow simmering, carrying the rich, savory flavor of meat broth. As the porridge slid down his throat, it felt silky and moist, carrying just the right amount of warmth that comforted him through and through. His stomach, left empty after sleeping for days, was instantly warmed. It was so satisfying that he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes in pleasure.

"Thank you, wife. This is the best porridge I’ve ever had." Even as the wealthiest clan, the Qingqiu Clan never possessed such exquisite food.

When Bai Qianluo tasted it, a unique aroma burst in his mouth. It was perfectly savory, warm, and lingering. A smile touched his usually cold and aloof eyes. "Mhm, it’s very delicious."

"Eat more if you like it."

Qiao Suluo was so focused on watching everyone else that she hadn’t even taken a sip herself. Just then, Da Bao, sitting beside her, reached out his little hand to tug at her.

"What’s wrong, Da Bao? Do you want to eat too? But you’re still too little. You can’t eat this yet," Qiao Suluo explained patiently, her eyes filled with gentle, maternal love.

"Mom, eat." Da Bao pointed his finger at the porridge, then at Qiao Suluo’s mouth, gesturing for her to eat.

Qiao Suluo realized what he meant right away. "Wow, does Da Bao want Mom to eat too?"

Da Bao nodded.

At that moment, Qiao Suluo felt her heart melting. Overcome with emotion, she praised, "Our Da Bao is so good." With that, she leaned down and kissed Da Bao’s cheek.

Da Bao broke into a happy smile.

At the same time, Second Treasure put down his baby bottle and said adorably, "Mom, kiss."

Looking at the two babies, Qiao Suluo felt incredibly happy. "Okay, Mom will give Second Treasure a kiss too." She lowered her head and kissed Second Treasure’s cheek as well.

The two babies had such wonderful skin—chubby, fair, and bouncy. A bright and tender smile lit up her features. In truth, when she first transmigrated here and the system assigned her missions, she had treated everything purely as tasks to complete. But somewhere along the line, her mindset had changed. She had developed a love for this world. After having her cubs, she even felt a sense of belonging here.

Watching Qiao Suluo in this moment, Tushan Feishang and the others felt an enchanting charm radiating from her. It was like layers of cascading sunlight shining directly into their hearts.

Bai Qianluo and the others usually exercised extreme restraint when eating, generally stopping when they were seventy percent full. But as long as Qiao Suluo was by their side, their appetites would surge.

After finishing their meal, Tushan Feishang and the men went to clean up.

Remembering something, Qiao Suluo said, "Oh right, Tushan Feishang, there’s something I need to tell you."

"What is it, wife?"

"Maybe we should go back to our room to talk in private?" Qiao Suluo suggested. She hadn’t yet told Tushan Feishang about testing with the Spirit Stone. She wanted to help him awaken his superpower. That way, he would have an extra means to protect himself.
