Cui Liyi dreamed with his eyes closed, releasing Chaotic Qi to perceive her presence.

So he could assist her precisely.

He raised his hand to remove her clothes, his movements gentle as if touching a fragile treasure, striving to block the seductive thoughts and contract scenes from his mind, focusing on washing her.

The warm towel brushed against her skin, his fingertips trembled slightly, exerting all his might to suppress the waves in his heart, even his breathing became exceptionally light...

When he reached her hair, he leaned forward to scoop up warm water, carefully washing it, his fingertips gently massaging her scalp, his movements gentle enough to drip water.

Su Muyao felt very relaxed, gradually becoming drowsy, her head nodding, eyes almost fully closed, her breathing becoming even, apparently about to fall asleep.

Though Cui Liyi had his eyes covered, his senses were sharp, able to perceive something.

Realizing she was about to sleep, he reached out to lift her from the bath.

Perhaps due to Cui Liyi’s movement, Su Muyao suddenly opened her eyes.

She struggled to get down, and before Cui Liyi could react, she exerted some force, grabbing his lapel, the pull was light but irresistible.

Cui Liyi lost his balance, slipped, and was directly pulled into the bath by her.

Water splashed everywhere, the warm water instantly soaked his robe.

Su Muyao, driven by inertia, almost stuck to him, her soft body pressing close, droplets from her hair dripping onto his neck, sliding down along its contour, bringing a shivering itch.

"Ah... Aluo!"

Cui Liyi’s voice was unstable, and the cloth covering his eyes fell off.

Once he could see, Cui Liyi realized he was about to lose control.

The person he loved was in his embrace, and everything that should be seen was seen, his reason seemed to cease functioning.

Not only that, but Su Muyao also hugged him with reliance.

This was the scene he’d imagined in his mind for several nights.

He felt she was the most fatal allure to him in the world.

"Hus... Husband..."

Su Muyao didn’t know why she used this title.

"Boom..."

All of Cui Liyi’s reason exploded.

His eyes completely darkened, the emotions suppressed for so long like an untamed horse about to entirely engulf his reason, even his breathing became unstable.

"Aluo, we can’t do this."

"You will hate me."

At this moment, Cui Liyi remained conflicted and in pain, reason and emotion clashing in his mind.

Unknowingly, Su Muyao didn’t understand why, only knowing she felt unbearably hot, taking the initiative to cling to Cui Liyi.

-

The contract of that night was natural.

It wasn’t until nearly dawn that Cui Liyi carried the drowsy Su Muyao to bed.

In fact, it was almost early morning when Su Muyao sobered up from the alcohol.

But she did not stop Cui Liyi.

Because she recalled the memories from the night before, knowing she initiated it, not blaming Cui Liyi.

Furthermore, because of her amnesia, even though she was his wife, these nights he was very respectful to her.

Moreover, he had been so good to her these days, almost on call for her needs.

She gradually developed great trust in him.

As for the night before, she always felt like she had contracted with her Beast Husband in a bath or pool before.

It must have been something they did in the past.

Cui Liyi naturally knew when Su Muyao sobered up.

Initially, he was also concerned, but seeing her acceptance, holding her, he almost wept with joy.

...

After lying in bed, Su Muyao fell asleep directly.

But Cui Liyi couldn’t sleep, embracing Su Muyao with excitement, his gaze lingering tender and deeply attached.

His brows and eyes carried satisfied expressions.

So at this moment, Cui Liyi’s aura was extremely gentle, the vicious energy he usually carried seemingly vanished.

If not out of concern for her body, or love for her, he wouldn’t want to let her go at this moment.

He gently tidied Su Muyao’s hair and tucked in the quilt corners.

Then lay on the bed, pinching the bridge of his nose, remembering past events, his heart filled with regret.

Initially, when his Aluo entered the Cui Residence, he had misunderstandings about her, assuming he wouldn’t be moved, thus wasting so much time with her.

Back then, they had never shared a bed.

If he had known he’d be so moved, he should have contracted on the first day.

At this moment, Cui Liyi’s remorse was useless.

Now he wished he could make up for all his past regrets.

...

After Su Muyao fell asleep, she entered a dream.

It felt as if her soul was drawn out of her body, wrapped in a veil of mist.

This mist carried a subtle allure, making it impossible for her to escape, nor could she muster a desire to resist.

After an indistinguishable amount of time, the mist dispersed.

At this moment, she seemed to stand in a mysterious valley, surrounded by strange flowers and grasses she had never seen, petals shimmering with a glaze-like glow, branches entwined with delicate white spiritual energy, distant peaks verdant, and between cliffs flowed waterfall curtains, the water sound gentle yet ethereal, the entire valley steeped in a beautiful aura.

Moreover, the spiritual energy was pure and thick, or rather unlike spiritual energy, but more like the Immortal Energy Cui Liyi had spoken of.

As Su Muyao looked around, a strange fluttering arose within her heart.

Like a deep-seated bone kinship, with ties seemingly summoning her.

Instinctively, Su Muyao took steps, following the terrain into the valley.

Along the way, the spiritual energy became more intense, tiny light spots twirling among the branches and leaves, her steps growing lighter, as if the entire valley was guiding her.

Reaching the core of the valley, a deep pool suddenly appeared before her eyes.

She stood at the water’s edge looking down, when suddenly, a gentle yet irresistible force rose from the pool, causing her to fall into it.

Unaware of how much time passed, the surrounding water sounds gradually faded away, the pulling force slowly dissipated.

When Su Muyao regained consciousness, she found herself in a submerged secret cave.

The cave entrance was obscured by a heavy water curtain, yet inside was incredibly dry, the cave walls embedded with luminous Crystal Stones, casting a dim light throughout.

"Where is this place?"

"The spiritual energy here is even denser than outside."

"And restrictions!"

She discovered layered pale golden light patterns winding around the cave entrance, interwoven in a manner somewhat similar to those she had seen at the Cui Residence. However, the restrictions here were older and more mysterious.

Her heart trembled slightly, but she sensed an even stronger summoning power, even vaguely feeling some bloodline attraction.

Involuntarily, she walked forward, strangely, those seemingly dangerous restrictive light patterns neither released aggressive sharpness nor formed isolating barriers as she approached.

Passing through layers of restrictions, she entered the cave’s depths, discovering a rather large egg lying quietly on a stone platform.

"What a peculiar egg."

These past few days, she had read some books at the Cui Residence, knowing some Beastmen hatch from eggs, but this egg seemed different.

The shell wasn’t of ordinary hue, shrouded in a faint black qi like a spider web entwining it, yet was subtly suppressed by the weak multicolored glow emitted by the shell.

That multicolored glow, as it flowed, seemed exactly like her original energy, warm and familiar.

Though she couldn’t use her Spiritual Power Ability, sometimes, her fingers could emit a colorful glow, Cui Liyi said it was her original energy.

But this egg had a five-colored aura, and its energy seemed weaker.

Speculating, Su Muyao’s heart raced.

At this moment, her mind seemed blank, instinctively stepping forward, her fingertips trembling uncontrollably, reaching out to gently touch the egg.

Upon touch, a powerful bloodline attraction surged, flowing into her limbs, sending a shiver through her entire being, her eyes filled with incredulous astonishment.

This feeling was the linkage of bloodline, she felt it intently, there was no mistake.

Could it be... this was her child?
