Chapter 97: Did those wolf demons think it was impossible for him to get better? (1)

At this time, Yuan Jue gradually woke up.

The fiend energy in his blood was very obedient right now. Unlike the past few days, it no longer tried to swallow all of the demon energy in his body and assimilate him. This was probably because he had taken the initiative to accept a strand of fiend energy yesterday. This in turn, made his injuries less painful.

His black eyelashes trembled, and Yuan Jue opened his long and narrow eyes.

Ruan Qiuqiu’s smell had faded a lot in the air, so Yuan Jue knew that Ruan Qiuqiu had gone out.

The cave was very quiet, but it didn’t have the cold and desolate feeling as when he had first moved in here when he was seriously injured.

The wind, which wasn’t as strong as it had been in the past few days, blew through the gaps in the tattered animal skin curtain and into the bedroom. There was still hot water left in the stone stove. There were traces of Ruan Qiuqiu’s presence everywhere in the cave.

Yuan Jue endured the twinges of pain as he slowly sat up. His well-defined fingers fumbled over the stone bed, looking for something. His fingertips soon touched a somewhat cold and round wooden cup.

His pale lips slowly raised up in a shallow curve. Yuan Jue carefully picked up the small wooden cup. The cup was half-filled with the water that was full of spiritual energy that she had prepared for him.

In the past few days, she had murmured many things to him, so he knew that she had a mutated water ability with powerful healing effects.

The things that his little wife left for him, he would properly drink them.

He had seen many animal skin pants, but he had never seen one like this one. The hole with the overlapping layers was by a special anatomy part, and there were two strings on it, making it convenient to tie it up.

As a gray wolf that had never seen modern-day men’s pants with zippers, Yuan Jue didn’t know that Qiuqiu had specially designed this so that he could easily pee.

He touched the opening. At first, he thought it was for his tail. But if it was for his tail, why was the opening so big and two strings for tying?

Also...

Yuan Jue touched the back of the pants. There was a small hole there, obviously for him to put his tail through.

So then the hole in the front...

After puzzling over this, Yuan Jue finally realized what this design might be for.

Yuan Jue’s iceberg-like expression instantly shattered. His long eyelashes trembled, and the tips of his ears burned.

There was a faint blush on his cheeks. He pictured Ruan Qiuqiu’s bright eyes and her smiling at him. He gritted his teeth. In a low hoarse voice that was nonetheless filled with lingering embarrassment, he said, “Ruan. Qiu. Qiu.”

Translator Ramblings: Even though I understand that Yuan Jue is scared that using more of the fiend energy will make him bloodthirsty, lose rationality, and kill Ruan Qiuqiu, as a reader, the fiend energy seems like a red-headed stepchild who is willing to share attention and doesn’t seem malicious to Yuan Jue. I wonder if Yuan Jue uses more of the fiend energy, then it won’t leak out to his surroundings and harm people and vegetation.
