Chapter 968 - 954: Earthquake

Even as a Beast God, Wen Nanxi could not suppress this instinctive response of the body.

His hand holding the parchment trembled slightly, his ears burned, and his face flushed.

His Adam’s apple bobbed violently, and an impulse surged within him to discard everything and descend to the mortal beast world.

However, now that he was a Beast God, he could no longer enter the mortal beast realm.

He tried hard to mobilize the power of his body to suppress the boiling blood.

But it was of no use.

"Jing Chu, what exactly are you doing?"

Wen Nanxi murmured softly.

He knew that Jing Chu went to the mortal beast world to protect Su Muyao.

After all, she was their wife and Zaizai’s female mother and could not be allowed to come to harm.

But...

Wen Chengyan’s expression changed as he looked at his father, "Daddy, are you having a fever?"

"But, isn’t it said that a Beast God neither gets sick nor gets a fever?"

Wen Chengyan, of course, did not understand adult emotions, nor did he know about the contract.

Wen Nanxi was even more embarrassed by the question from his son.

He couldn’t utter a single word.

Yet observing that this overwhelming heat was not going to stop anytime soon, he rubbed his temples and said, "You read by yourself for now. I will be in seclusion for a few days, don’t disturb me."

It was not unusual for the Beast God to enter seclusion in the Divine Hall.

Wen Chengyan nodded and said, "Oh, okay, Daddy."

Wen Chengyan thought his father was acting strangely.

...

Su Muyao was carried by Jing Chu into the water pool, and at first, she did feel a little better; the coolness of the pool’s water enveloped her, much more comfortable.

But after a short while, she was once again ignited by the flames, feeling her whole body intensely scorched.

She directly embraced Jing Chu, moving her lips to his, tightly entwining with him.

Her whole person clung to him like an octopus.

Beneath the wet and clinging clothes was Jing Chu’s supremely perfect physique, his waist and abdomen line flawless, muscle texture clearly defined, seeming to exude a sense of ultimate power.

The wife he deeply loved was so passionate, like a flame, thoroughly setting him alight; Jing Chu’s rationality and restraint were rendered useless, and he responded to her passion.

At this moment, his picturesque face was covered in crimson, his eyes filled entirely with her image.

He also liked seeing that her eyes were filled entirely with his image.

At this moment, a dense sense of joy welled up within Jing Chu’s heart.

Though inexperienced in matters of love, the inherited memory within him taught him what to do, and he instinctively captured her sweet breath, exploring everything about her.

More wonderful than he imagined.

In the whispers between their lips and teeth, Su Muyao kept murmuring, "hot, so hot..."

Her whole being was about to explode.

The Wood Element Ability in her body was also rising.

It seemed that the power once suppressed by the rules here was all being restored.

Also, the limitations imposed on the space were gradually being fully unlocked.

Su Muyao’s body was in a very chaotic state.

Jing Chu finally couldn’t help but transform his lower body into a snake tail, gently coiling her.

With the snake tail curling around her, Su Muyao felt less hot, "So cool, so comfortable."

She reached out to touch his snake tail, like touching a block of ice.

The coiling of Jing Chu’s snake tail evoked layers of shivers, her touch was like kindling a fire.

Involuntarily, he wanted to coil her tighter.

Wishing to curl her into the depths of his heart.

...

During this contract, initially, Jing Chu intended to maintain his human form, but given the special situation of his wife this time, he finally had to use his snake tail to calm her.

Thus the contract lasted for several days.

Which resulted in Wen Nanxi being tormented for several days.

Wen Nanxi stayed soaking in the Holy Spring of the Divine Hall all the time.

Immersed for days, memories of forming a contract with his wife in the mortal beast world kept flooding back.

If not for the suppression by his Divine Blood, he might not have been able to maintain his reasoning.

Eventually, within the Holy Spring, Wen Nanxi’s figure turned into his true form.

"Jing Chu, how could you bear to trouble her so?"

Previously, even the longest contract with his wife hadn’t stretched over so many days.

Wen Nanxi worried that his wife’s physique might not endure.

Yet as soon as he moved his private feelings, they were suppressed by the Divine Blood.

Therefore, after the wave of heat subsided, Wen Nanxi returned to normal again.

This time, Su Muyao was entirely clinging to Jing Chu during the contract.

From the water pool to the mountain cave.

Until Su Muyao’s body returned to normal, the heat subsided, and she fell into a deep sleep.

Su Muyao was truly exhausted, but Jing Chu, on the other hand, seemed invigorated, with a satisfied expression all over.

During the contract, he could feel his wife’s dependency and love for him, as well as his need for her.

Moreover, for the first time, he truly became her Beast Husband in his own right.

Jing Chu almost wanted to cry from the joy.

His eyes were tinged with red, lowering his head to kiss her eyes gently.

Even with her asleep, he held her lovingly, unable to let go.

They owned the tightest bond.

When holding her for cleaning, Jing Chu was incredibly cautious, as if handling a treasure.

Now, holding her was just the same.

...

When Su Muyao woke up after three days of sleep, feeling completely refreshed.

She perceived her entire being as light and comfortable, her body extremely agile.

The system spoke up, "Congratulations, host, your power has been restored to Level 30."

"All permissions of your space have been unlocked; everything you stored in it is accessible."

In the world within the Divine Domain Fragment, where five Beast Gods appeared, the governing rules have nearly disappeared.

The Divine Domain has been mostly repaired.

Therefore, the restraints on Su Muyao have been lifted.

Su Muyao carefully sensed, "It really is Level 30."

She recalled that before entering here, she had a strength of Level 36.

That was mid to late Third Realm strength.

Upon entering the Divine Domain Fragment, her strength was suppressed; restoring directly to Level 30 was incredibly thrilling to her.

"No wonder I feel so comfortable and light."

Immersed in her strength, Su Muyao suddenly heard a familiar gentle voice, "Wife, you’ve awakened."

Turning, Su Muyao saw Jing Chu not far away, preparing a meal. The sunlight filtering into the cave rendered him radiant, ethereal as a painted scene.

That sense of graceful freedom grew even stronger.

His demeanor softening between his brows and eyes.

Remembering those clingy days with him, Su Muyao’s face reddened, somewhat unsure how to face Jing Chu.

Her mind filled with memories of those times, though clinging tightly to Jing Chu, he was immensely accommodating, fulfilling her every need.

"Mm, I’ve woken up... those days, sorry... I kind of lost control."

Coming to her bedside, Jing Chu seriously whispered, "Wife, do not say that. I loved you that way."

"Truly."

"Being able to wholly claim you in such a time is my honor."

"Moreover, I didn’t feel uncomfortable at all."

This was when his snake nature could completely unleash its instinct.

Seeing Jing Chu without any discomfort made Su Muyao breathe a sigh of relief.

"Moreover, my strength has almost fully recovered."

The rules here no longer hold any sway over him.

"After we eat, I can speedily take you to Ghost Ruins Canyon."

This way, the journey won’t take too long.

"Alright."

Su Muyao, too, wanted to reach Ghost Ruins Canyon soon.

After the meal, they picked up and quickly set out.

Upon reaching Ghost Ruins Canyon, they encountered Mei Qingchen in a nearby bamboo cabin.

At this moment, Mei Qingchen had transformed into his true Pure Lotus Golden Leopard form.

And black wisps of air surrounded him.

As if in the state from Taixu Secret Realm.

"Qing Chen, what has happened to you?"

Su Muyao wished to check on Mei Qingchen, but just then, the ground trembled violently.

"What’s going on, is it an earthquake?"

Jing Chu’s expression changed, "I’ll go check the situation."

The terrain here was complex, and the landform could change at any time.
