Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 187 - 129: Reconciliation with the Snake + The Wolf and Snake’s Time Planning
"Huh, he was asleep?" An Jin blinked in astonishment.
’Well, what do you know. I was right after all. The snake really was just hiding in a cave to sleep.’
Through the misty moonlight, An Jin looked up and saw a trace of drowsiness on the man’s bewitchingly handsome face.
’He’d clearly been sleeping soundly on a full stomach, and I just forced him to reboot.’
After An Jin and Ling Hong became mates, Gu Yin had been furious, thinking she didn’t care about him. So he’d hidden away in a distant cave and fallen into a deep, heedless sleep.
Just a moment ago, while deep in slumber, Gu Yin had sensed his mate’s life was in danger. He was startled awake and, without a second thought, rushed over to save her.
’Thank goodness I made it in time.’
’If I had been even a step too late, if I’d seen the ground littered with her gnawed-on remains... I would’ve lost my mind.’
The hazy moonlight couldn’t conceal the murderous aura that suddenly flared up on his face. An Jin noticed something was wrong with him, and her heart couldn’t help but tremble. "...Are you okay?"
He shook his head, reining in the emotion in his eyes. He wearily rubbed his temples. "A few days ago, I happened to eat a few Demon Beasts. They probably haven’t fully digested yet, so I feel a bit unwell."
"You ate Demon Beasts raw?!"
Gu Yin gave her a surprised look, not understanding why the female’s expression had suddenly changed so drastically. He heard her say urgently, "Back then, Ling Hong was exiled from the tribe because someone falsely accused him of being tainted by Demonic Qi and claimed he might turn into a Demon Beastman!"
"Even though the Demonic Qi on a Magic Beast Crystal Core will dissipate over time, turning it into a normal Crystal Core, you actually ate a Demon Beast raw..."
Of course, Gu Yin knew what she was worried about.
He quite enjoyed being worried over by his beloved mate, but he didn’t think it was a big deal. He smiled and pinched her cheek. "Don’t worry. I’ve been like this my whole life."
"When I was just a little snake, the forest often suffered from beast tides and widespread famine. Sometimes, when I was starving, I’d recklessly go after Demon Beasts and Giant Beasts to eat."
"One time, I happened to eat a Crystal Core and discovered it could rapidly boost my body’s Energy. After that, I started seeking out Demon Beasts to eat on purpose."
Strangely enough, perhaps due to his unique constitution, his body could naturally dispel the Demonic Qi over time.
That was why his advancement was far faster than that of other Beastmen.
An Jin’s fingers touched Gu Yin’s cheek. Cupping his handsome face in her hands, she studied him carefully for a long time in the hazy moonlight.
Only after confirming he was no different than usual did she let out a breath of relief, the fear still lingering.
On the way back to the tribe, they ran into Ling Hong, who was rushing to find her.
He rushed forward and grabbed her hand, his eyes red-rimmed. Seeing the red scratches on her, he was overcome with guilt. "I—I just got back to the tribe and realized you were gone. Then I sensed you were in danger and came rushing over..."
’But I was still too late.’
"She ran into a wolf pack." 𝑓𝘳𝘦𝑒𝑤𝑒𝘣𝘯ℴ𝘷𝘦𝓁.𝑐𝑜𝑚
Gu Yin shot Ling Hong a cold glance, his thin lips curling into a sneer. "I left her in your care, and you couldn’t even protect her. How useless."
The shock on Ling Hong’s face gave way to even deeper self-reproach. He remained silent in the face of Gu Yin’s taunt.
’I was careless.’
’I really am useless. I couldn’t even protect my own mate.’
’If she had died because of this,’ Ling Hong thought, ’the immense guilt and torment would have driven me to follow her.’
Back at the tribe, the clusters of wooden huts were quiet. The Beastmen had fallen into a deep slumber after a long day of hard work, and the incident had not disturbed them.
Gu Yin carried An Jin back to their wooden hut with Ling Hong following close behind. This immediately brought them to the serious question of who the female would be sleeping with tonight.
