Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

"Cough…"

In a world of darkness, Mr. Big Bad Wolf suddenly heard her voice, less than half a meter away from him. He was stunned.

She didn't listen to his threat.

She wasn't afraid of his curse.

She didn't leave him on the ground.

She actually slept next to him!

Blood surged up his throat, and a dull pain spread through his chest.

He didn't know how he was feeling, irritable and mixed with indescribable emotions, making him subconsciously tighten his grip on the animal skin beneath him, tearing ten big holes in it.

His sharp claws touched the stone bed that he had deliberately brought in for some reason. Mr. Big Bad Wolf suddenly regained his senses.

It was as if he had suddenly realized his current appearance. The tips of his ears, hidden under his long, dark hair, instantly turned red.

He subconsciously closed his deep, beautiful, but unfocused blue-gray eyes, his long eyelashes trembling slightly. He clenched his pale lips, unwilling to let the dirty blood flow down again.

Only the suppressed, low cough and the clenching of his jaw remained.

Yesterday, he was so miserable, desolate, and embarrassed in front of her. It could even be said that he was testing her reaction, but today…

Mr. Big Bad Wolf turned his head slightly, suppressing the unspeakable emotions in his heart, thinking with shame and annoyance:

It was fine that she slept next to him last night, but now she was poking his arm with her hand.

Although separated by the animal skin, he could still feel the softness of her palm.

She was still anxiously saying a lot of things in his ear. Did she know that she was covered in his scent now? Really…

Shameless.

Mr. Big Bad Wolf didn't know why, but he felt that something else had changed in his body besides the pain.

For example, his ears and face were hot for some reason.

But he was clearly not in his demon form now, not very hairy (?), but he felt very hot.

Even his silent and cold heart seemed to be gently poked by the human named Ruan Qiuqiu, just like his arm. The thick layer of ice on it was almost cracked by her.

Not wanting her to find out that he had just destroyed their only large animal skin, Mr. Big Bad Wolf quietly transformed his wolf claws hidden under the animal skin back into large, slender hands. His slightly gloomy, dark eyebrows furrowed into a clear "M" shape.

Ruan Qiuqiu didn't know that her words could cause such a huge blow to Mr. Big Bad Wolf.

She was worried to see that he, who had been coughing with his eyes open, suddenly became dazed for some reason, then turned his head to the side and gritted his teeth to stop himself from coughing.

From her angle, she could only see his cold, pale chin. Blood with clots slid up and down his protruding Adam's apple as he swallowed, dripping down from the corner of his lips, meandering down into his long sideburns.

"Husband…" The amount of blood made Ruan Qiuqiu feel a little scared. She struggled to sit up, worried that he had lost consciousness again because of the pain. She gently pushed his arm and called him again.

But Ruan Qiuqiu didn't get any response. She only saw Mr. Food Reserve's jaw tighten, and he let out a muffled cough as if he couldn't control it. The tip of his ear and the corner of his eye were red.

Ruan Qiuqiu, who was about to continue pushing his hand, stopped in mid-air. She looked at Mr. Big Bad Wolf, who was struggling to hold on, and probably had a guess in her heart.

--He probably didn't want her to see him in such a sorry state.

After all, he used to be an arrogant and proud Wolf King.

Ruan Qiuqiu could probably understand his feelings and didn't want to force Mr. Food Reserve to admit that he was awake. She was considerate of his pride, but she was still a little angry that he told her to "stay away" yesterday.

Ruan Qiuqiu's eyebrows twitched slightly, and she smiled. She endured the soreness of her legs and feet as she climbed up and carefully avoided touching Mr. Big Bad Wolf.

The wolf had too many wounds on him now, and it would probably hurt him a lot if she touched him casually.

As she wrapped the animal skin around her feet as "shoes," Ruan Qiuqiu caught a glimpse of Mr. Big Bad Wolf trembling non-stop. The cold wind blew in through the gaps in the tattered animal skin curtain, and she couldn't help but shiver. "Is it cold? I'll light the firewood right away."

She put on her "shoes" and staggered to the stone stove, picking up the flint and trying hard to start a fire.

This kind of wood was really special. Although it was all burned out, there wasn't much ash left in the stone stove, and it was easy to light.

After the fire was lit, Ruan Qiuqiu finally felt that the slightly damp cave had become a little warmer.

She endured the pain in her feet and slowly walked back to the stone bed, observing Mr. Big Bad Wolf's condition.

He seemed to be better. Although he was still pretending to be unconscious, he didn't continue to cough up blood.

It was just that the animal skin she had placed under his neck was really dirty, and his long hair was also clumped together by the blood. His handsome wolf face, which had been ruined by the hideous scars, was now covered in drying blood, looking quite scary.

"Fortunately, he's stopped spitting blood." Ruan Qiuqiu took advantage of the wolf's feigned unconsciousness to reach out and brush aside his dirty hair, revealing his entire face.

Looking at his pale face and involuntarily trembling eyelashes, she stretched out her fingertips, mobilizing the energy within her body as she explained, "Fortunately, my water-type ability has some healing effects…"

As Ruan Qiuqiu spoke, a drop of water gradually condensed on her fingertips. She was worried that the drop of water would fall, and in a slip of the tongue, the words "husband" that were on the tip of her tongue became "Mr. Food Reserve."

Ruan Qiuqiu: "…"

The words had already been spoken, so she had to bite the bullet and ignore Mr. Big Bad Wolf's even tighter frown. She gently pinched his chin and dripped the water droplet containing healing effects into his mouth.

After doing all this, Ruan Qiuqiu immediately took two steps back, wanting to take advantage of the wolf's inattention to change her form of address. "Husband, you have to get better soon."

After saying that, she picked up the animal skin from the stone table at lightning speed, picked up the wooden basin she had used last night, turned around, and carefully moved out of the "master bedroom" from the edge of the animal skin pressed by the stone bench.

Shortly after she left, Mr. Big Bad Wolf slowly opened his eyes.

Although the scenery he saw with his eyes open or closed was the same, he still subconsciously followed Ruan Qiuqiu's figure, who had just left the "master bedroom," with his unfocused blue-gray eyes.

The drop of water she had fed him had already carried a hint of coolness, spreading down his lips and into his entire mouth. The "weak" healing effects she spoke of carried a rich spiritual energy, almost instantly relieving the pain throughout his body.

Her footsteps gradually faded away, but Yuan Jue's face became hotter and hotter. He raised his hand to suppress the strange heat and thought with some shame and annoyance.

That human, she had exposed herself again. She really did treat him as a food reserve.

Could it be that in the eyes of that human, his existence was just as a food reserve and a wolf to do things for her?

An inexplicable feeling of grievance arose in Yuan Jue's heart. Clearly, they already had the relationship of having slept on the same stone bed.

…

Ruan Qiuqiu regretted it as soon as she left the "master bedroom"--

Although there was only a layer of animal skin separating them, it was a bit too cold outside, wasn't it???

She rubbed her instantly stiff face, turned a corner, and saw snowflakes still falling intermittently outside.

She was somewhat grateful that Mr. Big Bad Wolf had chosen a good location for the cave. It was on a small slope, and the terrain was relatively high. Otherwise, after such a long time of snowfall, the entrance of their cave might have been blocked.

Ruan Qiuqiu brought some snow back from outside. Then, instead of returning to the "master bedroom," she went to the "storage room" where the small stone stove she had built yesterday was located.

She pulled out another small stone pot from the corner, started a fire with some special wood, and began to wait for the snow to melt into water.

It wasn't that she wanted to waste resources, but she was too embarrassed to wash up in front of Mr. Big Bad Wolf.

Ruan Qiuqiu went back and forth between the cave and the outside several times, finally cleaning herself up.

She carried a basin of warm snow water and returned to the "master bedroom."

Mr. Big Bad Wolf might have gotten addicted to pretending, because even though she saw his hand move, the wolf was still stubbornly pretending to be unconscious.

With his semi-cooperation, Ruan Qiuqiu easily completed the process of cleaning Mr. Big Bad Wolf. She then boiled some more water, intending to cook something.

She wanted to eat something salty, but boiling salt now would take a long time and be very troublesome…

Looking at the hard salt stones that she couldn't break and didn't want to boil whole, she glanced at Mr. Big Bad Wolf, who was lying on the bed.

Ruan Qiuqiu took out a salt stone and placed it on the table, saying in a half-testing, half-expectant "difficult" tone, "The salt stone is so hard to break. It seems like I won't be able to eat salty food today…"

"If only there was a Field Snail Spirit… a Field Gray Wolf Spirit to help me."
