Chapter 1003 - 989: Can’t Take It Anymore

Only at times like this would Jing Chu open his heart for her to see.

His kisses gradually descended.

Su Muyao’s entire body seemed to be set on fire.

Her face was flushed, and her skin was also covered with a pink hue.

"No, you must take care of yourself, you must always be by my side."

"Jing Chu, I need you." She needed him to be by her side.

Otherwise, after coming to the Demon Realm, her mood would not be like this.

Fortunately, with Jing Chu, she felt somewhat normal.

Otherwise, she feared she would become abnormal, perhaps even go crazy.

This was the kind of assurance Jing Chu needed most.

He actually didn’t have much sense of security inside.

Everything he had came from Su Muyao.

He longed to be needed by her; only then would he feel secure, feel that he was of value.

Jing Chu knew he loved Su Muyao to the point of madness, it was insane in his bones.

But he couldn’t let that side of himself show.

Yet that night, during the Contract, Su Muyao was especially passionate.

As if she was tireless, wanting to exhaust all her energy.

Jing Chu felt her need, only then dared to truly relax himself.

Not until Su Muyao was utterly exhausted, her eyelids unable to open, did he feel somewhat relieved.

Yes, being this tired and exhausted, completely relaxed, would prevent overthinking, allowing her to fall asleep.

Su Muyao slept soundlessly well.

During the day, Su Muyao took on the role of a Demon Doctor, helping treat some of the Black Valley Dark Beastmen’s injuries, while also learning about Magic Medicine Grass and practicing concocting some Magic Potions to aid the Black Valley Tribe’s Beastmen.

So, within a short time, Su Muyao’s prestige in the Black Valley Tribe became quite high.

In the Demon Realm, Demon Doctors were rare, and their status was high.

At night, when Su Muyao couldn’t sleep, she would form a Contract with Jing Chu, and after tiring herself out, she would directly fall asleep.

With such busy days and nights, there was no time to think about other things.

Yet Jing Chu always carried a satisfied look, his eyes brimming with a captivating lust.

He exuded an unparalleled charisma.

The reason for such busyness was because Su Muyao discovered something.

After forming a Contract with Jing Chu, he could better adapt to the Demon Realm environment, his suppressed power lighter, and the Demonic Qi’s effect on him reduced significantly.

So often Su Muyao would cling to Jing Chu.

Of course, each time Jing Chu was actually worried about tiring her out.

Worried it would take a toll on her body.

But every time, Su Muyao would insist she wasn’t tired.

And indeed, although she was busy every day, she slept very well, looking exceptionally well-rested, like a well-watered flower, becoming ever more radiant.

That day, in the courtyard, Su Muyao once again saw the figure of Xie Guixue in the tree, but she didn’t rush over this time.

Instead, she slowly walked over, not saying anything, just standing under the tree looking up at him.

This time, Su Muyao saw his figure clearly and knew it wasn’t her imagination.

She stood there for a long while, the falling snow covering her, before she hoarsely asked, "Gui Xue, is that you?"

Su Muyao tried to calm herself, but once she spoke, her voice still choked and hoarse.

Su Muyao felt she had a thousand words to say, but when she truly saw him, her mind went blank, not knowing what to say.

He just looked down at her.

He once habitually wore plain white robes, his white clothing purer than snow, appearing even colder.

Now he still had a cold, otherworldly appearance, but his attire was a black brocade robe, with dark patterns embroidered on it, like an enchanting mandala flower, exuding an aura of utmost danger.

Yet Su Muyao wasn’t afraid at all.

She knew he was Xie Guixue, and that was enough.

Even if he truly wanted to hurt her, she would accept it.

Seeing he wouldn’t speak, Su Muyao took a deep breath and asked, "You... you still remember me, don’t you?"

"Did you appear that day to save me?"

After experiencing so much, Su Muyao’s mindset was no longer the same as before.

She felt that communication between beasts was essential, avoiding misunderstandings and regrets at all costs.

Xie Guixue looked deeply at her; from that vantage point, he could see the marks on her collarbone, and inadvertently see the skin just below her chest.

As well as the look in her eyes, like one who had been fiercely loved and cherished.

He closed his eyes, then disappeared into thin air like a gust of wind.

The expression on Su Muyao’s face could no longer be maintained, "System, what does he mean by this?"

Previously unsure if it was Xie Guixue, now certain, seeing him like this, Su Muyao felt as if her heart was being pounded heavily with a hammer.

A feeling of dull pain.

The system was silent for a moment before speaking, "Perhaps because of the Emotional Silk, he doesn’t have feelings for you but remembers the past memories, so he comes to see you, just to see how you are, nothing more."

The system wanted to comfort the Host but felt it was better to be honest, so Su Muyao wouldn’t be more hurt in the future when Xie Guixue achieved Great Success in the Heartless Path.

Su Muyao lowered her head in disappointment, kicking a pebble on the ground, silent for a long time.

After adjusting her mood, she went home.

When she returned home, Jing Chu had already prepared the meals.

These days, Jing Chu had been taking care of Su Muyao, preventing her emotions from becoming problematic.

Su Muyao, not wanting Jing Chu to worry, didn’t show anything.

But throughout the night, Su Muyao remained somewhat silent.

Jing Chu knew she was thinking about Xie Guixue.

At night, when it was time to sleep, heavy snow started falling outside once more.

They had yet to gather much information about the Demon Palace, Ba’er knew nothing either, not even its location.

But waiting like this, she didn’t know when she could talk and communicate well with Xie Guixue.

Even if Xie Guixue came to see her, she didn’t know why; he always just watched, not speaking, leaving her very troubled.

Su Muyao still couldn’t help but ask the system, "System, do you think I could enter Xie Guixue’s dream, like before?"

She thought in a dream, they might be able to converse.

The system explained, "Host, you cannot; normally, meeting and speaking in dreams before was because you had a deep bond and were close to each other, and he wanted to meet you in dreams, which triggered certain opportunities for you to meet like that."

"But now, without the Emotional Silk, it’s difficult for you to meet in dreams."

Su Muyao quietly said, "System, please think of a way for me."

"I can’t continue staying in the Demon Realm like this; it has been half a month, Jing Chu also can’t adapt to the Demonic Qi here, it’s making his body uncomfortable."

"And I’m also very worried about Xie Guixue, something seems off about him."

Su Muyao couldn’t point out the reason, just felt Xie Guixue wasn’t quite right.

She was very worried about Xie Guixue too.

In the past, encountering matters concerning Xie Guixue made her sad and distressed, she couldn’t help but want to escape.

But this time, she wanted to be braver, even if he was indifferent, she wanted to approach him actively, to figure things out.

Because she truly felt Meng Qing’s care and love for her.

So she thought Xie Guixue might not have willingly removed the Emotional Silk.

The system was silent for a while, seeming to look for a solution.

After a while, the system said, "Host, there is a way. Previously, when entering the Demon Realm on the road, didn’t you pick a Magic Love Flower?"

"That flower has special powers, I can use the Magic Love Flower as a guide and with my System Power, forcibly weave a dream realm for you two."

"This way, you can forcibly enter his dream, although after entering, the dream will still be led by him."

"However, after my upgrade, the System Power has increased, after entering the dream, Xie Guixue’s self-awareness in reality will be considerably weakened, making it easier for you to approach him..."

The system explained a lot.

Su Muyao understood somewhat, "So in the dream, although he no longer has the Emotional Silk, his reason will also be weakened, and he won’t reject or ignore me due to his reality consciousness; as long as I can approach him the right way, I can get close to him."
