Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

Hearing Mr. Big Bad Wolf's words, Ruan Qiuqiu nodded.

She pulled Xiong Gun Gun and Xiao Bo He, who had recovered somewhat and were no longer as scared, to step back.

She Qin had been subtly keeping a distance from them, so there was no need for Ruan Qiuqiu to pull him back specifically. But having spent a long time with Mr. Big Bad Wolf, Ruan Qiuqiu was quite adept at guessing the thoughts of young ones like She Qin.

Along the way, She Qin had been intentionally or unintentionally covering his face. He wasn't much older than Xiong Gun Gun and Xiao Bo He, very thin, and the backs of his feet and exposed hands faintly showed the scales of the snake tribe.

Although everyone in the Bear Tribe was very friendly, She Qin might not have lived in the Winter Bear Tribe from the beginning. He was a rather self-conscious child.

Ruan Qiuqiu's heart softened. Although she didn't reach out to pull She Qin, she called his name, "Xiao Qin, come and stand with us. It's dangerous over there."

She Qin was stunned for several seconds before realizing that Ruan Qiuqiu was talking to him.

He looked at Xiao Bo He, who was standing beside Ruan Qiuqiu and smiling at him. His nose twitched, and after a long while, he nodded blankly and walked towards Ruan Qiuqiu and the others with somewhat mechanical steps.

Yuan Jue, who had released his demonic consciousness in advance, naturally took all of this in.

His demonic consciousness swept over She Qin's hands and feet where scales were faintly visible, and the corners of his lips sank slightly.

The scales on She Qin's body were not continuous; they should have grown in batches.

He knew very well what kind of treatment a young one with physical imperfections like She Qin had received before coming to the Winter Bear Tribe.

Those demons probably insulted She Qin verbally, just like they had called him mute.

Those scales might have been left by other demons who bullied him, or perhaps he had pulled them off one by one because he couldn't stand his own ugly appearance.

It was evident that he liked the little girl Xiao Bo He.

But he didn't have the courage to approach her.

Mr. Big Bad Wolf pursed his lips and focused his attention on the green cotton in front of him.

Ruan Qiuqiu stared intently at Yuan Jue. She saw two black flames emerge from his slender fingertips, quickly elongating in mid-air, their surroundings faintly shimmering with a chilling black light.

Several black lights streaked across the stems of the green cotton, and Ruan Qiuqiu was surprised to find that the thorns, which previously seemed harmless, suddenly turned blood red.

"Bang!"

They rapidly expanded and lengthened, and the tips even faintly oozed a blood-like liquid.

But Mr. Big Bad Wolf's movements were much faster than these thorns. Before the thorns and liquid could attack him, clusters of ripe fruits were cut by the black light and fell to Ruan Qiuqiu's feet.

After Yuan Jue had picked all the ripe fruits, he withdrew his hand, his face pale.

Although he had picked a lot, the entire picking process only lasted for a dozen seconds.

Xiao Bo He was almost completely covered by the overwhelming green cotton. She Qin subconsciously wanted to shield her, but he hesitated for a second, looking at his own scales. Xiong Duoduo had already bravely stepped forward.

Little Xiong Duoduo transformed into his demon form, the big furball expanding, not only shielding Xiao Bo He and She Qin, the two young ones beside him, but also completely shielding Ruan Qiuqiu behind him.

Ruan Qiuqiu "…"

Looking at the giant panda that was about as tall as her chest, she felt a little embarrassed to say that she didn't actually need his protection.

"Woo~" Looking at Xiong Gun Gun's sparkling eyes, Ruan Qiuqiu could only smile at him and raise her hand to pat his head.

But as she reached out, she thought of Mr. Tianluo Gray Wolf, who had just worked hard to pick the green cotton. Suppressing her desire to pet the little one, she retracted her hand and quickly stepped over the clumps of green cotton on the ground, arriving at Mr. Big Bad Wolf's side.

His lips, which had regained some color, turned pale again. Ruan Qiuqiu took out the wooden tube containing the healing water beads and brought it to his lips.

Yuan Jue didn't refuse, drinking all the healing water beads in the wooden tube. His pale complexion looked slightly better.

Looking at the green cotton all over the ground, Ruan Qiuqiu was somewhat amused and exasperated.

The backpack she had brought couldn't hold this much green cotton. She hadn't expected Mr. Big Bad Wolf to pick all the ripe fruits from this patch of green cotton.

But she couldn't bear to tell Mr. Big Bad Wolf that they only needed a little bit of green cotton.

After thinking for a moment, Ruan Qiuqiu turned around and said to the young ones, "Gun Gun, Xiao Bo He, Xiao Qin, can you help me call your Tian Xiu gege and Xiao Mao gege over?"

She Qin nodded, and Xiao Bo He replied, "Okay, Qiuqiu jie."

"Be careful when you walk." Although it wasn't completely dark yet and they could see the path, Ruan Qiuqiu still reminded them worriedly.

The three young ones responded and quickly ran off with the dried beef Ruan Qiuqiu had given them.

Ruan Qiuqiu watched from afar as Xiao Bo He occasionally looked back to call She Qin, and her heart settled slightly.

"That snake tribe half-demon young one," a low, hoarse voice suddenly sounded beside her ear.

Ruan Qiuqiu turned her head and heard Mr. Big Bad Wolf softly say, "He probably really wants to play with the other two young ones."

Yuan Jue's voice was so soft it was almost a murmur, as if he had just mentioned it casually.

But Ruan Qiuqiu knew that he had noticed She Qin, perhaps because he was reminded of himself.

Her heart softened, and Ruan Qiuqiu's eyes flickered, considering how to comfort her wolf.

She didn't realize that the reason the wolf said this was partly because he thought of his past self, and partly because of his cunning motive of wanting his little wife to spend more time with him.

But Qiuqiu, who always thought her wolf cub was well-behaved, pitiful, and understanding, naturally fell for it.

She bent down and comforted her wolf, "Xiao Bo He is very kind. She will definitely get along well with Xiao Qin."

"Wolf, don't worry, I've also… never thought of… um… separating from Mr. Tianluo Gray Wolf." Too embarrassed to directly call him husband and make such a promise like Yuan Jue, Ruan Qiuqiu rephrased it.

But as she spoke, her words became stammering, and her face grew redder and redder.

After she finished speaking, she quickly straightened up and coughed lightly, trying to cover up her current embarrassment and shyness. But she didn't know that her words had struck Mr. Tianluo Gray Wolf, who didn't know he was "Mr. Tianluo Gray Wolf," like multiple bolts of lightning, making his whole body tremble.
