Chapter 156: Did he think the fiend energy was a marinade that could make someone tasty? (1)

Because Ruan Qiuqiu feared that there were other fiends out there that wanted to harm the weak gray wolf, she was still worried even after she returned to the cave and didn’t notice anything strange. There wasn’t any strong blood smell either.

Her knees felt faintly hot because she had overexerted herself. Not hearing a response from the wolf in the bedroom, Ruan Qiuqiu couldn’t be bothered to care if the wolf needed private space. She quickly pushed aside the thick animal skin curtain.

“Husband, are you okay...” Ruan Qiuqiu was stunned silent by what she saw.

Yuan Jue was gently leaning against the cold rock wall. He was using a small, folded up animal skin as a pillow. His beautiful collarbone and his defined muscles were only partially hidden by his half-open red robes.

There was an obvious blush on his clear face. His somewhat dry lips were pursed in embarrassment. The two furry pointy ears were folded down on his black hair. One ear had a bald patch. The newly grown silver-gray fur was sparse. It looked quite pitiful.

And yet, that wolf showed a reserved and aloof expression. Due to blindness, his eyes were without focus and looked apathetic and dim. The look had ample aloofness and was without desire. For the time being, Ruan Qiuqiu couldn’t tell if he had secretly done something embarrassing while she was gone.

She squeezed her sore arm. “I don’t know about Qing Ruyi and Grandpa Mo’s past relationship. I hope what happened today was just an accident.”

When he heard the word accident, Yuan Jue’s pointy ears drooped down a lot. He firmly clenched his hands.

Perhaps, this wasn’t an accident.

Since he was a wolf pup, he would often be attacked by fiends and beasts. The fiend energy in his blood hadn’t awakened until he had almost died from the beast tide’s attack. Until then, he had mistakenly believed that he was just cursed.

But now, he knew that the reason why he was often attacked was because his flesh and blood was a great tonic for fiends.

It was very likely that he was the reason why his wife had gotten injured. She had gotten injured because she had been in close contact with him for a long time.
