Chapter 1005 - 991: Far Too Overbearing

But Xie Guixue’s injuries were too severe, and as soon as he opened his mouth to speak, he coughed up several mouthfuls of black blood.

"Don’t let anything happen to you, the hidden weapon is poisoned, they are too ruthless, they want to ensure your death."

Su Muyao called out to the system, but the Dream System was nowhere to be found.

She was so anxious that she broke out in a cold sweat, her whole body in disarray, and her hands trembled.

At this moment, the sky rumbled with a "boom" and then it started to rain.

The rain came down heavy and fast, pelting against their bodies.

With lightning and thunder around, Su Muyao worried that the lightning might strike the trees, putting them in danger.

"We must get out of here quickly."

The rainwater washed over Xie Guixue’s wounds, making them hurt even more.

But he could endure it.

Even so, his body couldn’t help but tremble slightly.

Enduring the intense pain, he said softly, "There’s a cave to the north where you can shelter from the rain."

After saying this, Xie Guixue no longer had the strength to utter another word, as his entire body ached so badly that he felt dizzy.

Moreover, the rainwater washed over his wounds, spreading the poison faster, causing Xie Guixue to cough up a few more mouthfuls of blood before he fainted.

"Gui Xue!"

Su Muyao cried out in shock.

Perhaps due to her intense emotional upheaval, or something else, Su Muyao suddenly broke through every barrier, becoming no longer transparent.

At this moment, she was able to touch Xie Guixue.

Su Muyao placed her hands on Xie Guixue, quickly activating her Wood Element Ability to detoxify and heal his wounds.

After detoxifying him and seeing his wounds heal, Su Muyao finally let out a sigh of relief.

She was truly scared out of her wits just now.

"It was my fault before, it was my mistake."

"I should have come to find you sooner."

"Even if you forgot about me, I should have approached you proactively."

Previously, after he entered the Demon Realm, in a dream, he told her to leave, with a cold and heartless demeanor, which indeed made her feel sad.

In reality, she had never been truly proactive about her feelings.

At this moment, she reflected on herself, feeling it wasn’t right.

Compared to other matters, she realized that the well-being of Xie Guixue was the most important.

The way he looked just now really frightened her.

At that moment, she thought that even if he achieved Great Success on the Heartless Path, becoming cold and heartless, and even forgetting her, she could accept it, as long as he lived well.

Su Muyao activated her Wood Element Ability, weaving vines into an umbrella to shield them from the rain, while supporting Xie Guixue towards the northern cave.

She initially thought she would need to use her ability to support Xie Guixue, only to find that he was very light.

Although Xie Guixue was 1.9 meters tall, he was quite slender.

An ache swelled in Su Muyao’s heart, with a surge of sorrow and an urge to cry.

Who knows how much hardship he endured after entering the Demon Realm.

Ba’er said that the Demon Realm was initially chaotic after opening, with countless Dark Beastmen fighting each other for territory.

He said that their current territory’s King, which was Xie Guixue, also went through countless battles and assassinations before leading part of the Dark Beastmen to occupy the Magic Snowfield Zone.

So he’s gone through numerous such assassinations, hasn’t he?

Before, she only heard Ba’er say it and hadn’t seen it with her own eyes, unaware of how dangerous it was.

Seeing it with her own eyes now, she finally understood what he had been through.

After walking for a while, Su Muyao found that cave.

The cave was spacious and clean, with some beast skins and daily necessities inside.

Slightly sniffing the faint snow scent inside the cave, Su Muyao was startled, murmuring, "Could this be the place Xie Guixue stayed after coming to the Demon Realm?"

Realizing this, Su Muyao felt a pang of sorrow and heaviness in her heart, her eyes reddened with the sting of tears.

So after entering the Demon Realm, he lived in a place like this.

Wasn’t it said that he was a Pure Blood Dark Beastman?

Shouldn’t he hold a high position in the Demon Realm then?

However, after a second thought, Su Muyao considered, "Perhaps there were several Pure Blood Dark Beastmen at first, and with the environment of the Demon Realm being very chaotic, there probably weren’t stone houses or anything like that, and the tribe had to be rebuilt."

It did seem like Ba’er said that their tribe was built under Xie Guixue’s leadership too.

Su Muyao carefully placed Xie Guixue on the bed, then boiled water in the stone cave, before removing his outer robe, leaving his pants intact, and using a damp towel to wipe the remaining bloodstains from before.

Although she used her wood-based superpower to heal his wounds and they were now closed, the bloodstains had seeped into his clothes and body.

She knew Xie Guixue loved cleanliness and was very meticulous, he would not rest well wearing such soiled clothes.

Seeing how tidily he kept the cave, with a bath barrel and water tank, freshly dried beast-skin clothes, it showed that even in such a simple environment he loved cleanliness.

However, while cleaning Xie Guixue, she didn’t notice the faint dark aura spreading around him.

After cleaning Xie Guixue’s upper body thoroughly, Su Muyao glanced towards his pants.

Actually, his pants were in tatters, stained with blood.

After a moment’s hesitation, Su Muyao still reached out her hand.

She meant to help him, but at that moment, Su Muyao’s face turned completely red, "It’s fine, he’s asleep now and doesn’t know."

"Besides, back when we formed a contract, everything that should’ve been seen was seen."

However, their situation was quite unique; they had only been in a contract that one time.

Just then, Xie Guixue suddenly opened his eyes, those cold eyes like an ice soul now carried a trace of dark energy.

He grabbed Su Muyao’s wrist in one motion, using force, pulling her onto the stone bed, instinctively trapping her with hands and legs, his arms were extremely forceful.

Su Muyao was completely caught off guard, pinned between the stone bed and him, momentarily dizzy.

When her vision focused, she locked eyes with Xie Guixue’s, which didn’t hold the usual coldness, but rather deep, dark whirlpools, as if wanting to devour her whole.

This Xie Guixue made Su Muyao feel very dangerous.

Su Muyao gulped, whispering, "Gui Xue, you... what’s wrong with you?"

Without waiting for Su Muyao to say anything more, Xie Guixue’s long, slender frame leaned down, enveloping her completely.

His lips descended onto hers, with a cool touch.

At the moment their lips met, Su Muyao felt a shiver run through her body, beyond her control.

That tremor spreading from her heart through her entire body was too stark and stirring.

Her feelings for him seemed to be suddenly drawn out at that moment.

The scent of snow seemed to engulf her completely.

It was so intense, more so than ever before, making Su Muyao feel faint with just a breath, and almost unable to resist getting lost in it.

This was Xie Guixue’s pheromone, which only released when stirred emotionally.

The more intense the feelings, the stronger the pheromones released.

The dark power surrounding Xie Guixue surged, with tendrils of dark energy wrapping around Su Muyao like threads, tightening bit by bit, as if afraid she might escape.

Instinctively, he confined her, his slender fingers brushing against her waist with a cool touch, transferring through her clothes to her body.

The mere lip contact couldn’t satisfy him, instinctively locking her with a domineering aura, simultaneously prying open her lips and tongue, marching in, greedily devouring her sweet breath.

Like a traveler parched with thirst in the desert, greedily devouring the sweet peach.

"Mmm..."

Su Muyao could hardly breathe, it was too domineering, too overpowering.

This was nothing like Xie Guixue.

The former Xie Guixue was always distant and cold, even that one time when they formed a contract, it wasn’t like this.

She simply couldn’t handle him like this.
