Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

He was about to lose his little wife.

Lose.

Mr. Big Gray Wolf didn't know why he used that word.

But just thinking about the possibility made him feel icy cold, the oppressive pain making it hard to breathe.

His demonic consciousness exhausted, the blurry image froze on Ruan Qiuqiu's thoughtful and solemn expression. Yuan Jue pressed his pale lips together, the world once again plunging into darkness.

He didn't know what to do now, nor did he know what Ruan Qiuqiu would do after she discovered the truth.

Mr. Food Reserve, the entire wolf, was in a state of immense panic, his whole body icy cold as he awaited Ruan Qiuqiu's judgment.

Meanwhile, at the cave entrance, Ruan Qiuqiu was extremely anxious, but she didn't shake Mo Yu incessantly and ask if he was alright.

After a brief moment of panic, Ruan Qiuqiu laid Mo Yu flat on the ground. Then, holding the small half-cup of water droplets with healing properties that she had just condensed, she pried open Mo Yu's mouth and fed them to the child.

Only after the small half-cup of healing water droplets was completely consumed did Mo Yu gradually stop coughing up blood, his complexion also slightly improving, though he remained unconscious.

Little Yu kept his eyes tightly closed, clutching the old bone club in his hand, refusing to let go.

Ruan Qiuqiu checked his breathing and, finding that it was gradually stabilizing, breathed a sigh of relief.

She drew some mutated water-type spiritual energy from her dantian, wanting to examine why Little Yu, who had seemed healthy before, suddenly fainted. He had drunk some healing water droplets earlier, after all.

Frowning, Ruan Qiuqiu carefully controlled the amount of spiritual energy, slowly channeling it into Mo Yu's body.

Upon examination, Ruan Qiuqiu's brows furrowed tightly.

Within Mo Yu's body, there was actually a very faint demonic energy, undetectable without using spiritual energy to probe.

The water droplets she had fed Little Yu had transformed into spiritual energy, resisting and slowly purging the demonic energy.

Moreover, Mo Yu's body was actually very weak, far weaker than he appeared.

Many of his meridians were thin and frail. It was precisely because of this that the faint demonic energy caused him so much pain.

As for why Little Yu was invaded by demonic energy…

Besides his own weakness, another reason was likely the animal hide that Mr. Big Gray Wolf had used.

Ruan Qiuqiu's gaze fell on the blood-stained animal hide scattered on the ground, her eyes filled with guilt and self-blame.

It was her negligence.

She knew that the wolf in her home had heavy demonic energy within him, and the things he used might be tainted with some demonic energy, but she still gave it to Little Yu.

The demonic energy emanating from Mr. Big Gray Wolf was actually very weak and didn't originate from the demonic creature he had killed.

That type of demonic energy was peculiar and difficult to detect, but she had suppressed it several times and had gradually become aware of it.

Ruan Qiuqiu bit her lip, feeling even more self-reproachful.

Because that peculiar demonic energy couldn't harm her at all, even if it touched her, her spiritual energy would automatically dispel it quickly. So, although she had noticed it, she hadn't paid much attention.

Looking at the scattered items on the ground, Ruan Qiuqiu sighed.

She gave a wry smile, patted Mo Yu's head, and consoled herself—

Fortunately, Mr. Big Gray Wolf was unconscious now. Otherwise, if he knew that he had unintentionally hurt someone, especially a frail little boy, while he was unaware, he would probably be even more self-reproachful than she was.

With that periwinkle gray wolf's awkward and stubborn personality, if he knew, who knew how upset he would be.

Yes.

Although they hadn't been together for long, Ruan Qiuqiu had almost completely figured out the periwinkle gray wolf's personality.

When they first met, the wolf appeared ferocious on the surface, but in reality, he was just a wolf cub silently gnawing on snow.

She brought him into the cave, and at night, he saved her when she needed him most.

Although the first words he said to her were "Stay away."

But thinking back now, Mr. Food Reserve's next words were immediately followed by "one meter."

Previously, Ruan Qiuqiu didn't understand what "one meter" meant, thinking he disliked her or hated being touched.

Now that she thought about it, it was highly likely due to some other reason…

Perhaps it was related to the "curse" that the white-eyed wolf demons of the Flame Wolf Tribe had mentioned.

Furthermore, Ruan Qiuqiu discovered something strange. Her mutated water-type ability was a special kind that could dispel demonic energy.

But while her spiritual energy could cleanse and heal the demonic energy within Little Yu, it couldn't cleanse the demonic energy within Mr. Big Gray Wolf.

Was it because the demonic energy within Mr. Evil Wolf was too much?

Ruan Qiuqiu never imagined that the sensitive periwinkle gray wolf was not only not unconscious but awake, and had even conjured up a tragic drama in his mind: "After discovering her husband's unknown secret, the wife angrily and disappointedly leaves her disabled husband."

Ruan Qiuqiu patted Little Yu's head, whose breathing had gradually evened out, and considered what to do next.

Although Little Yu was stable now, she didn't know when he would wake up. He clearly couldn't go with her to gather herbs today and was even less suited to stay in their cave, which contained faint demonic energy.

Ruan Qiuqiu glanced at the sky outside, hesitated for a moment, picked up the animal hide from the ground, and jogged back to the "master bedroom."

Lifting the animal hide curtain, Ruan Qiuqiu placed the soiled hide in the wooden basin, put a basin of melted snow water into the stone pot to boil, and took out everything from her backpack.

Worried about Little Yu outside, Ruan Qiuqiu focused on her tasks, not saying a word.

Her movements were both loud and hurried, and to Mr. Big Gray Wolf, who was in excruciating pain and unable to move, they were like knives stabbing into him one by one.

His eyes, despite being a wolf's, reddened. He tightly pursed his lips to prevent himself from making any sound.

Was she leaving?

Just after discovering it, was she leaving?

His human little wife owed him nothing.

She had been good enough to him, more than enough.

Even light would tire when encountering a creature too shrouded in darkness.

Ruan Qiuqiu didn't know that Mr. Big Gray Wolf's sensitive glass heart was about to shatter. After packing everything, she walked to the stone bed, checked the transparent demonic core placed beside the wolf's head, and after a moment of thought, sat down on the edge of the bed.

—Was it time to say goodbye?

Yuan Jue desperately restrained himself from suddenly opening his eyes and scaring her with his ferocious wolf face, using almost all of his willpower.

Seeing his grim expression, Ruan Qiuqiu thought he was feeling unwell again and wanted to use her remaining, limited ability to condense some healing water droplets for him.

She habitually tried to drip the water droplets onto his lips.

But this time, Mr. Big Gray Wolf's lips were tightly pressed together, and she couldn't get the droplets in.

Ruan Qiuqiu didn't realize he was awake. After all, Mr. Big Gray Wolf's acting skills were always poor; if he were awake, he would definitely make some noise.

She tried again, then said helplessly and worriedly, "Husband, does it hurt a lot?"

Although Ruan Qiuqiu's voice was soft, it fell upon Yuan Jue's ears like a blazing fire, almost instantly incinerating the thorn-covered anxieties that had grown like brambles.

It was so intense that his heartbeat almost stalled.

Mr. Big Gray Wolf didn't react. Ruan Qiuqiu's patience ran out, so she simply changed her approach and directly lifted the animal hide covering him.

Yuan Jue "…??"

Seeing not only ten more holes in the animal hide but also several holes in the stone bed, Ruan Qiuqiu "……"

However, she still didn't realize that Mr. Big Gray Wolf was awake. She naturally took his hand, channeling her ability while muttering to herself, "Did you do this when you woke up to drink water before?"

Thinking of Little Yu lying on the cold ground outside, Ruan Qiuqiu was very anxious today.

After hurriedly transferring her energy, she stuffed the demonic core into his large palm and then molded Mr. Big Gray Wolf's hand into a tight grip.

"I need to take Little Yu back. You absolutely must be alright…" After Ruan Qiuqiu finished speaking, she covered him with the animal hide, thought for a moment, then touched Mr. Food Reserve's large tail before hurriedly leaving the "master bedroom."

It was already afternoon. Although the cave where Mo Yu lived wasn't far from Mr. Big Gray Wolf's cave, going back and forth would still take a considerable amount of time.

She had to be quick.

Ruan Qiuqiu carried Little Yu on her back and left the cave.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away. After confirming that she had left, Mr. Big Gray Wolf suddenly opened his eyes.

He felt something was very wrong with his tail.

No one or demon had ever dared to touch his tail. When he was in his demon form, his tail was his powerful weapon; any beast that touched his tail died.

But she,

She actually touched his wolf tail!

Redness and heat quickly spread across his cheeks. He felt a tingling sensation in his tail, so hot that he almost didn't know how to face his own tail anymore.

He felt his reaction was a bit excessive. Perhaps his tail was injured, so when Ruan Qiuqiu casually touched it, he felt strange.

Yuan Jue, unable to bear it, arched his body and slowly reached out to touch his tail in the darkness.

His slender fingers with distinct knuckles first carefully touched the spot where Ruan Qiuqiu had touched his tail, but there was no wound there, only slightly coarse fur.

Apart from feeling that his tail was a bit furry, he didn't feel anything special.

Unconvinced, Yuan Jue stroked his large tail over and over again, not even sparing the tip, but still felt nothing. It was as if the feeling of an electric current exploding the moment Ruan Qiuqiu touched him was just an illusion.

But clearly, when Ruan Qiuqiu touched him, he felt something was very wrong.
