Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

Yuan Jue’s long, beautiful eyes stared intently at Ruan Qiuqiu's face, his scarlet pupils seeming to contain a blazing fire. He couldn't resist licking his small fangs, carefully calculating everything. When Ruan Qiuqiu was almost beside him, he cunningly withdrew his demonic power. Ruan Qiuqiu, somewhat accustomed to its support, instantly lost her balance and stumbled forward.

Yuan, the wolf, seized the opportunity, extending his long arms to steadily catch his lightweight wife. Although Mr. Big Gray Wolf's left leg was still missing, because his demonic power had recovered considerably, he could maintain his balance perfectly well. Moreover, his strength was immense; lifting a several-ton Elephant Bird was effortless, let alone someone as light as Ruan Qiuqiu.

Ruan Qiuqiu felt the demonic power tendrils that had been supporting her body and warming her wrists and ankles suddenly vanish. Her entire body plummeted uncontrollably like a blade of grass in the wind. She knew Yuan would catch her, but she still couldn't help but close her eyes.

The faint sound of wind and rustling clothes filled the air. Her legs and back bumped against arms much harder than her own. Ruan Qiuqiu's neck and cheek brushed against a not-particularly-soft black hide coat.

She half-opened her eyes, her nose filled with Yuan Jue's light scent. Ruan Qiuqiu tilted her head slightly upward and could see Yuan Jue's feather-like eyelashes, bathed in the light of the cave, casting curved shadows beneath his still-dark eyelids.

The wolf ears atop his long black hair twitched slightly. The soft fur on them was a bit disheveled, as if they had just exploded outward, floating in the air and landing on her heart. Along with a tingling sensation, there was an indescribable throbbing.

This wolf, who pleased her in every way, was hers. As this thought arose, Ruan Qiuqiu couldn't help but shiver. Unable to bear it, she raised her hand and gently tugged at Yuan Jue's black clothes, her cheeks burning. She softly asked, "Husband, what are you doing?"

Yuan, seemingly feeling guilty, immediately intended to release her upon hearing her question. However, as his arms brushed against his wife's legs and slender waist, an indescribable sensation shot up his spine. Not only did he not let go, but he held her even tighter.

Ruan Qiuqiu thought, "…He's squeezing me a bit too tightly." This happened several times. The air seemed to heat up. Both the wolf and the woman felt something was amiss. Finally, Mr. Big Gray Wolf steadily put her down.

Her feet landed on the cave floor, but her legs and waist still felt as if they were being held captive. Ruan Qiuqiu felt an unsettling sensation, like stepping on clouds. She was about to ask the wolf about the demonic power that had formed the supporting tendrils when he grasped her wrist.

Ruan Qiuqiu thought, "???" What was wrong with this wolf tonight? Wasn't his usual waking persona supposed to be aloof, taciturn, and shy? They hadn't even started to sleep yet…

Ruan Qiuqiu's legs were already a bit weak. With a gentle pull, Mr. Big Gray Wolf successfully drew her into his embrace. Even though he was solitary and usually didn't speak much, today was different. He still remembered that hateful panda demon, Xiong Xiaoyue, blushing and looking at his wife with admiration.

Mr. Lemon Wolf, his teeth grinding with jealousy, held Ruan Qiuqiu tightly in his arms. The tip of his fluffy tail curled up, tracing the hem of her thick, knee-length hide skirt, rubbing gently.

Ruan Qiuqiu froze, completely stunned. She felt like she was standing beneath a peach branch in early spring, her collar unexpectedly dampened by a string of cold dew dripping from the branches. The droplets trickled down her back.

Ruan Qiuqiu shivered violently, her senses exploding, her fingers trembling. Unable to think of anything else, her face burning, she reached out to push the usually pitiful-looking wolf cub in front of her, her voice trembling, "…Let… let go."

Although she occasionally called Yuan Jue "Big Bad Wolf" in her mind, she had never found him so… forward.

Usually, the obedient Mr. Yuan Wolf would have released her, but this time, he didn't. He rubbed a few strands of silver-gray fur between his fingers and forcefully placed them in Ruan Qiuqiu's hand, as if he had suffered a great injustice. "Wife, is a wolf's fur not better to touch than a panda demon's?"

Faced with this shocking question, Ruan Qiuqiu felt a long-lost sense of confusion and bewilderment. She rubbed the two tufts of relatively soft wolf fur in her hand, taking a long time to recover. This… why was this wolf jealous of a silly bear?

Ruan Qiuqiu blinked, and after reacting, she was momentarily speechless. Then, she felt amused and helpless. He was jealous of a bear cub! Although the bear did seem a bit strange, Mr. Big Gray Wolf's jealousy was both funny and endearing.

Amused, a mischievous thought sprang to Ruan Qiuqiu's mind. She reached out with her other free hand and, imitating him, tried to wrap her arms around Yuan Jue's waist. However, due to the size difference, she only managed to grab the clothes at his side. She bit her lip lightly and looked up at him. "Husband… are you jealous?"

Meeting his wife's soft gaze, Yuan Jue's handsome face flushed. He averted his gaze slightly, his lips pressed tightly together. Just when Ruan Qiuqiu thought he wouldn't admit it, she heard a low, husky "Mm" by her ear.

The sound was soft, but its source was clear. Ruan Qiuqiu's eyes widened slightly, surprised that Yuan Jue would admit it so readily.

"Wife, you can only like wolves…" Mr. Big Gray Wolf lowered his head, his scarlet pupils falling on Ruan Qiuqiu's cheeks, for the first time openly displaying his possessiveness.

Ruan Qiuqiu was so close to him that she could feel the tip of his tail trembling as he spoke. "You can't like other demons…" Yuan Jue lowered his long eyelashes, releasing her hand but tightening his grip around her waist.

Their hair intertwined. Mr. Big Gray Wolf's breath fell on her face. His handsome features magnified in her eyes. Ruan Qiuqiu gripped his clothes, her lips softening as he kissed her, then released her just as quickly.

His large tail swept gently. Ruan Qiuqiu felt her face grow even hotter. Her knees felt weak and itchy. She could only cling tightly to his arm.

She had planned to tease him, but this sweet wolf kept disrupting her plans.

When his soft lips touched hers again, Ruan Qiuqiu steeled her heart and gently nibbled on his lip before quickly pulling away. She immediately felt the wolf's breath hitch, turning into a low, husky pant.

The corners of her lips curled up. While he was still recovering, Ruan Qiuqiu put her hand on his tail and tugged hard a few times. She then looked at Yuan Jue's slightly flustered, twitching ears with a triumphant smile.

She had finally gained the upper hand.

"Let go now," Ruan Qiuqiu said, invigorated, patting the wolf's arm, signaling him to release her, completely unaware that she had just opened the door to a new world for him.

As she pulled away from Yuan Jue, recovering from those sweet, innocent kisses, intending to focus on her cultivation, her chin was gently lifted.

Yuan Jue's soft lips covered hers. Ruan Qiuqiu assumed it would be like before, just a simple kiss, so she didn't move. But when she opened her eyes slightly and fell into the depths of Mr. Big Gray Wolf's blood-red eyes, she realized the gravity of the situation.

Besides the familiar soft touch on her lips, there was a slight stinging sensation.

Mr. Big Gray Wolf's little fangs.

As this thought crossed her mind, Ruan Qiuqiu was overwhelmed by the familiar, strange sensation spreading through her body. She slid weakly downwards, only to be caught tightly in Yuan Jue's embrace.

Their breaths mingled. Yuan, the wolf, learned incredibly fast. Not only did he learn to gently nibble on his wife's lips, but he also somehow mastered the art of deeper, sweeter kisses.

"Mm…" Ruan Qiuqiu inadvertently parted her lips slightly, giving him the opportunity to invade and conquer, leaving her utterly defeated.

By the end, Ruan Qiuqiu could no longer breathe, her head spinning. Her blurred vision caught sight of Yuan Jue's flushed face, his long eyelashes glistening with tears.

After an unknown amount of time, the wolf finally released her. Ruan Qiuqiu's hands and feet were weak, and she couldn't speak. But the wolf seemed to have just become excited.

Mr. Big Gray Wolf, as if discovering a whole new world, pecked Ruan Qiuqiu several more times before finally, with great reluctance and a flushed face, letting her go.

Ruan Qiuqiu touched her tingling, slightly sore lips, and looked at the wolf's face—still mostly healed, but perfectly matching the fantasy in her heart—with a hint of displeasure. She knew this wolf was almost fully recovered and could stand perfectly fine without her support.

"…I, I'll go clean up first," Ruan Qiuqiu said, supporting herself against the wall, not even looking at Mr. Big Gray Wolf's expression.

Yuan Jue stood there, blushing, his wolf ears folded down in embarrassment. He licked his reddened lips, his whole body burning hot. He hadn't known before that kissing could be so… multifaceted.

A dark glint flashed in his eyes. Lowering his long lashes, Mr. Big Gray Wolf inexplicably recalled Shadiao's words: "Do you like this cultivation… position?"

He hadn't thought anything of it before, but now, he had a slight understanding.

Although he was still far from adulthood according to the Demon Continent's rules, he was a former pack leader, and he knew some basic common sense.

For example, wolf demons could seek mates and have wolf pups very early. Initially, before he knew everything was Qing Ruyi's scheme to cultivate his heart, he had simply thought his wife was compensation from the tribe, a way for him to experience the pleasure of mating before he died.

He had thought those simple embraces and kisses were mating.

But…

Rough fingertips traced his lips, which still seemed to hold Ruan Qiuqiu's warmth. His fluffy tail swayed slightly behind him, and certain parts of him felt strange. He seemed to have learned something different from that kiss.

Tianluo, the gray wolf, couldn't help but wonder: Was mating really just kissing and sleeping in the same bed?
