Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

Ruan Qiuqiu is probably dead.

Rou Yuerao heard that Lu Ziran had returned from hunting. She immediately rushed to welcome him with the other demons from the Wind Lion Tribe.

In the open space at the entrance of the Wind Lion Tribe, several huge prey were piled up:

“A Two-horned Thunder Beast, good guy, look at its size, it must be hundreds of pounds, enough for all the demons in our tribe to have a good meal.”

An older lion demon looked at the Two-horned Thunder Beast, which was nearly three meters long, and rubbed his hands excitedly.

“Yes, you even caught a fat Primordial Horned Deer. This is very difficult to catch.” Another lion demon also said with a smile, “With so much food, I don’t know if the patriarch will let us have a feast.”

Hearing their words, a handsome lion demon standing in the center of the team spoke up, “Uncle Li, it’s only half a month into winter, even if the harvest is good this time, we still have to save some food.”

The lion demon who spoke had a calm tone, with a smile between his handsome brows, and every move he made was elegant. He was wearing a pure black animal skin coat, which made him even more handsome.

This lion demon was Shi Aotian, Lu Ziran, who would become the Demon King in the future.

“Hahaha, we’re just kidding, you kid take it seriously!”

The middle-aged lion demon, who was called Uncle Li, smiled and punched Lu Ziran. He pointed to the two carefully treated snow ferret skins in his hand, winked and said, “You are holding these two snow ferret skins, are you planning to give them to a certain female demon in the tribe?”

“What female demon, it should be which woman, right!”

Someone in the lion demon group didn’t know who said such a sentence, and all the lion demons burst into laughter. Rou Yuerao, who was standing among a group of very friendly female lion demons, couldn’t help but blush quietly.

She remembered that when Lu Ziran went out, he told her that if he had the opportunity to hunt this time, he would find some beautiful snow ferret skins for her.

She still remembered him looking at her with those gentle eyes and saying, “Only the color of a snow ferret can match Yuerao’s beauty.”

These two snow ferret skins, Lu Ziran will naturally give to her.

Thinking of this, Rou Yuerao just curled her lips when she heard the female demon beside her who had a good relationship with her jokingly said, “Lu Ziran, snow ferrets are not easy to hunt, you have to give them all to Yuerao, you are really special to Yuerao!”

Lu Ziran was a little embarrassed by what they said, touched his nose, but didn’t say that he would give both skins to Rou Yuerao.

According to his plan when he first went out, he should have given both snow ferrets to her, but now it’s a little different.

A few days ago, while hunting, Lu Ziran accidentally “dreamed” about some things in the future.

He dreamed that Ruan Qiuqiu, the human female in the tribe who was a little out of her mind, had almost no sense of presence, and seemed to be incomplete in her soul, would refuse to marry the former leader of the Flame Wolf Tribe for him, and was then hated by all the demons in the tribe.

Then, in the beast tide at the end of this winter, she would be pushed into the beast tide by a lion demon who hated her in the tribe, and happened to block the attack of a demon who sneaked up on him.

Because of Ruan Qiuqiu’s sacrifice, he killed the demon, absorbed the demon core, and then his strength greatly increased, and he embarked on the road of cultivation to become the Demon King.

That dream was so clear, it was like something that would really happen in the future.

After waking up, Lu Ziran, according to that dream, took the lion demons in the tribe to set a trap in advance where the Two-horned Thunder Beast passed by, and they really caught the Two-horned Thunder Beast.

After that, Lu Ziran verified the authenticity of the “dream” several times, and after confirming that the things that appeared in the “dream” would really happen, his attitude towards Ruan Qiuqiu changed subtly.

He knew that he still didn't like that fool Ruan Qiuqiu very much, but now he strangely felt that she was not so annoying.

After all, Ruan Qiuqiu would die for him soon.

This time, he also planned to give her a snow ferret skin as compensation for her future death for him.

Ruan Qiuqiu would be very excited and happy when she knew he was going to give her something, right?

…

The demons saw that Lu Ziran just touched his nose and didn’t speak, thinking he was embarrassed.

Uncle Li very wisely pushed Lu Ziran, “Okay, then you can go over there and chat with Yuerao, we will take care of these prey, and I will send the best meat to your cave later!”

Hearing Uncle Li’s words, the surrounding lion demons also lifted their prey and dispersed.

For a while, only Lu Ziran and Rou Yuerao were left around.

Rou Yuerao took two steps forward, lowered her head shyly like a deer, “Zi, Ziran, you are back… Are you injured? Was the hunt going well?”

Lu Ziran looked at Rou Yuerao’s charming face and showed a gentle smile, “No, it was very easy this time, you know my strength.”

Rou Yuerao said, “That’s good.”

Lu Ziran handed her the larger snow ferret skin in his hand, “This snow ferret skin is for you.”

Rou Yuerao’s eyes lit up, and she took the soft skin, “Ziran, thank you, I like it very much.”

She caught a glimpse of Lu Ziran still holding a smaller snow ferret skin in his hand, and asked tentatively with some doubts, “Ziran…that small one, who are you going to give it to?”

Lu Ziran squeezed the skin in his hand, paused and said, “Give it to Ruan Qiuqiu, I remember you took a red hairband from her before, this skin is just to compensate her.”

“Why didn’t she come out to greet us today?”

Hearing him mention Ruan Qiuqiu, the smile on Rou Yuerao’s lips faded, and she pouted a little unhappy, “The demon from the Flame Wolf Tribe came before and said that he wanted to use three hundred catties of salt rock to marry his former leader a human companion…”

But before Rou Yuerao could finish her words, she heard Lu Ziran say a little excitedly, “I know!”

“Ziran?” Rou Yuerao raised her head strangely, “Did Uncle Li and the others tell you about it?”

Lu Ziran waved his hand apologetically at her, and said covertly, “No, no, I just heard about the Flame Wolf Tribe asking for marriage everywhere on the road, I didn’t expect them to come to our tribe too…”

It was in vain, according to the memory in his dream, Ruan Qiuqiu liked him so much, how could she be willing to marry another demon? What’s more, it was a disabled and disfigured perverted big gray wolf.

Lu Ziran thought confidently, just about to hear the words “Ruan Qiuqiu swears to die” from Rou Yuerao’s mouth, but heard her say—

“For the sake of the tribe, Qiuqiu just married.”

What? ?

Lu Ziran suspected that he had heard wrong, “You said, Ruan Qiuqiu is married?”

Rou Yuerao felt that he was a little strange today, “Well, after all, in order to solve the tribe’s salt stone crisis, Qiuqiu is very kind…”

Rou Yuerao paused, added a little bit of her own selfishness, blushed and said, “Qiuqiu said, bless us.”

Lu Ziran was a little bit overwhelmed when he heard that Ruan Qiuqiu was married.

This was the only thing that was different from his “dream” these days.

Lu Ziran, who was still full of confidence just now, suddenly felt like he had been slapped severely, and his entire face was hot and painful.

His first reaction was not whether Ruan Qiuqiu would be in danger if she married that perverted big gray wolf, but that Ruan Qiuqiu just married so easily, she should have died for him!

Maybe it was because he was too shocked, his expression was a little uncontrollable, which made Rou Yuerao a little scared.

“Ziran, what’s wrong with you?”

Lu Ziran took a deep breath, glanced at the sky that was about to darken completely, and stuffed the smaller snow ferret skin into Rou Yuerao’s hand, “Since she’s gone, she probably won’t need any more skins.”

In order to confirm something, Lu Ziran asked again, “Yuerao, is the wolf demon that Ruan Qiuqiu married, Yuan Jue, the former leader of the Flame Wolf Tribe?”

Rou Yuerao took the skin and nodded.

Lu Ziran grabbed his hair even more annoyed—

If it was that wolf, Ruan Qiuqiu might have been swallowed alive by now, leaving no bones left.

But if Ruan Qiuqiu died, who would block the attack for him then? He must not make any mistakes on his way to becoming the Demon King.

Or should he go and find out if Ruan Qiuqiu is dead or alive now? But he may not be able to beat that perverted big gray wolf…

Just as Lu Ziran was having a headache, the sky completely darkened.

Snowflakes fell little by little from the thick clouds, as if the sunshine in the afternoon was an illusion.

“Ziran, you seem a little strange today…” Rou Yuerao was a little wronged.

Lu Ziran pressed his forehead and quickly adjusted his expression, “It’s okay.”

Forget it, looking at the sky, it was about to snow heavily, he decided to wait until the snow stopped before going to see if Ruan Qiuqiu was still alive.

If Ruan Qiuqiu died, it really won’t work…

Lu Ziran’s eyes fell on Rou Yuerao, who was smiling like a flower, and a gloomy look gradually appeared in his eyes.

…

…

The weather was as Lu Ziran expected.

Just as Ruan Qiuqiu finished burning two pots of hot water and was carrying another wooden basin outside to collect snow to burn the third pot, the snow began to gradually increase.

She looked up at the darkening clouds with great worry, and breathed hot air into her cold hands.

What she hopes now is that the heavy snow will stop soon, if the snow lasts for too long, she and Mr. Evil Wolf will be trapped to death in the cave.

Author’s Note:

It’s snowing, and life is getting harder for Qiuqiu and Mr. Big Bad Wolf…
