“Su Li, get up first.”
There was something oddly pitiful yet serious in Liu Qiu’s voice.
Su Li hadn’t intended to keep pressing her down like this, but upon hearing those words, the urge to tease rose again in her heart.
She lifted her head and licked Liu Qiu’s chin, then moved upward to lap lightly at her lips.
“Wife-Lord, is that all? Just three words?”
As she spoke, her tail swayed, the fluffy fur brushing between Liu Qiu’s legs.
Raising her upper body slightly, Su Li narrowed her eyes and ran her crimson tongue over her own red lips.
Lowering her voice, she said slowly, “Wife-Lord, you know what I want.”
“I almost died to save you. Shouldn’t you repay me? For example… by doing something that lets me recover my strength—mating.”
Liu Qiu’s eyes reflected Su Li’s snow-white fox ears.
The flush on her cheeks seemed to tint her lips red as well, making them look full and beautiful.
She knew what Su Li wanted.
Su Li had said it from the very beginning.
Of course, she didn’t believe that Su Li being naked was truly because of her claim that Liu Qiu wanted it.
Lowering her trembling lashes, Liu Qiu nodded lightly and stammered, “Okay.”
“But… but can it not be like last time? That made me so tired.”
Her tone was almost bargaining, and paired with her blushing face, she looked far too endearing.
Su Li’s tail began to rub lightly again.
Liu Qiu’s toes curled faintly, the moisture in her eyes deepening.
The tail’s presence wasn’t overwhelming, yet being brushed there felt unbearably embarrassing.
Liu Qiu lifted her hand and pressed it against Su Li’s shoulder, whispering, “Su Li, don’t use your tail.”
Suddenly, a soft, warm sensation touched her eyelids.
Her lashes trembled.
When the touch withdrew, she lifted her eyes to look at Su Li.
“Su Li… I haven’t bathed yet.”
She had been lying here so long; she must be dirty.
Su Li’s lips curved upward into a bewitching smile, the upward sweep of her eyes like tiny hooks.
She rose from Liu Qiu and pulled her along off the stone bed.
By the time Liu Qiu realized what was happening, she was already cradled in Su Li’s arms.
Her hips were held firmly, her legs parted and wrapped around Su Li’s waist.
Liu Qiu pressed her lips together and hesitated.
“This position? Won’t you get tired? Let me do it instead.”
No matter how light she was, she was still an adult.
And Su Li was injured.
Carrying her this long had to be exhausting.
Su Li tilted her head and bit gently at Liu Qiu’s ear, her voice coquettish.
“Wife-Lord, I was teasing you. We’re not doing it now.”
“Were you hoping for it? Thinking about this position all along?”
“Xiao Li only picked you up, but Wife-Lord imagined this posture. How very lewd, hehe.”
Her tone rose at the end, thick with teasing.
Liu Qiu’s grip on Su Li’s collar tightened abruptly.
Even her neck flushed red.
She glanced at Su Li and met her smiling eyes, then quickly lowered her head so she wouldn’t be seen.
How embarrassing.
So Su Li had just been teasing her.
“I wasn’t. I just want you to recover quickly,” Liu Qiu explained hoarsely.
Her ear was bitten again, accompanied by Su Li’s ambiguous tone and tightening hands.
“Wife-Lord, you’re so tempting. I want to eat you.”
With that, Su Li stepped forward and walked out of the cave.
Her tail coiled around her pelvis like a curtain to cover herself.
She was starting to lose patience.
The human was too tempting.
Every expression, every movement, every word from this human stirred desire within her.
She wanted to cling together every moment.
The mountain forest at night was filled with the roars of wild beasts.
Yet it wasn’t dark.
The moonlight was too bright.
Liu Qiu could clearly see the ground and the wild grass beneath her feet.
Occasionally insects flew past, and she could see them too.
The earlier embarrassment gradually faded with time.
Su Li carried her the entire way, walking without pause, though Liu Qiu didn’t know where they were headed.
Unable to hold back, she asked, “Su Li, are your injuries better? Put me down, I can walk. You’ll get tired like this.”
Even if she was light, Su Li was injured.
She must be tired after carrying her so long.
Su Li chuckled softly and lowered her head to kiss Liu Qiu’s cool, soft cheek.
“No. Wife-Lord is very light. Like a leaf.”
To her, a human’s weight was nothing.
She simply wanted to stay pressed against her, breathing in the faint medicinal fragrance from her body.
Seeing this, Liu Qiu didn’t insist further.
If Su Li grew tired, she would carry her instead.
Looking down at her bare feet, Liu Qiu wiggled her toes.
“Su Li, where are my clothes?”
She was only wearing a thin white inner robe and underpants.
It was a bit chilly.
“I threw them away,” Su Li replied.
Clothes worn by the dead were unlucky.
Liu Qiu didn’t press further.
The night wind brushed over them, carrying coolness.
The chirping of insects never stopped.
Perhaps because Su Li was there, Liu Qiu didn’t feel afraid.
Instead, she had the leisure to admire the scenery along the way.
The natural landscape was truly beautiful.
After a while, Liu Qiu asked softly, “Su Li, how will you treat the wound in your heart?”
“If Wife-Lord mates with me a hundred times, it might heal.”
Liu Qiu’s eyes widened in shock.
“A hundred times?” she murmured.
Then she frowned.
“Su Li—”
Su Li bit lightly at her nose.
“Guess.”
Liu Qiu took a deep breath.
“I won’t.”
“But… if that’s what it takes for you to recover, then it’s okay.”
She said it quietly, but Su Li heard it clearly.
Her heart instantly swelled with an unnamed emotion.
Su Li stopped walking.
Before them was a clear pond.
She set Liu Qiu down.
Liu Qiu’s tender soles pressed against the grass-covered earth, sending a ticklish sensation up her legs.
“We’re here. Didn’t Wife-Lord say she felt dirty? You can bathe here.”
Liu Qiu turned and gasped at the sight.
“It’s so beautiful.”
The clear water reflected the bright full moon.
Glowing insects flitted among the grass, adding color to the night.
[System, take a picture.]
[Done.]
A small smile appeared on Liu Qiu’s face.
This was one of the few happy moments lately—seeing such a beautiful view in the mountains.
Su Li stared at her smile and couldn’t help leaning forward to kiss her cheek.
This human was more seductive than a fox spirit.
She kept making her want to do things.
“Wife-Lord, go bathe,” Su Li said softly.
Liu Qiu shook her head.
“No. What if there are snakes?”
And clear ponds were often deceptively deep.
Su Li narrowed her eyes and stepped straight into the pond before Liu Qiu.
In an instant, she disappeared beneath the surface.
Liu Qiu’s heart lurched.
She hurried to the shore.
“Su Li!”
She called several times with no reply, panic reddening her eyes.
“Su Li!”
She sat at the edge and cautiously extended her foot into the water.
When the cold water reached her knees, she clenched her fingers nervously.
Just as she leaned further—
The water broke apart.
Su Li emerged, completely soaked.
She ran her fingers through her hair, pushing the wet strands back to reveal her bewitchingly beautiful face.
Water slid down from her cheeks, over her collarbone, chest, and waist, before falling back into the pond.
Liu Qiu stared blankly, then let out a breath of relief.
“Su Li, you scared me.”
Su Li approached, bracing her hands on either side of Liu Qiu’s legs and sliding between them.
Her damp, cool body enveloped her.
“Wife-Lord, I checked. There are no snakes, and it’s not deep. Only to the waist.”
“Come bathe.”
Droplets fell onto Liu Qiu’s clothing.
She looked up at Su Li’s lowered lashes and golden pupils.
Those eyes were beautiful—yet clearly not human.
She was a demon.
She probably wouldn’t drown.
After hesitating, Liu Qiu nodded.
Her body truly needed washing.
“Su Li, move aside. I’ll undress.”
Su Li’s smile widened.
She suddenly pushed Liu Qiu onto the grass.
Water droplets fell onto Liu Qiu’s face and clothes.
“Su Li, what are you doing?”
Desire burned brightly in Su Li’s golden eyes.
“I’ll help you.”
Before Liu Qiu could protest, Su Li tugged open her collar, lifted her, and stripped away her remaining clothes—then her underpants.
“I’ll take that off myself!” Liu Qiu hurriedly said.
Su Li laughed softly.
“Wife-Lord, don’t you know what I intend?”
With a flick of her fingers, Liu Qiu felt a sudden chill below.
Her undergarments vanished.
Before she could react, she was carried into the water.
The cold pond water rose to her stomach, making her shiver.
As Su Li had said, it was only waist-deep.
Liu Qiu placed her hands on Su Li’s shoulders, trying to push her away.
But Su Li pinned her against the shore, eyes shining with hunger.
“Wife-Lord. One hundred times.”
Liu Qiu froze, then blushed deeply.
“R-right now?”
Suddenly her body trembled and her legs weakened.
“Su Li—your tail—”
She hadn’t even realized when it had touched her.
If they truly did it a hundred times in one go, she would die.
Tears welled in her eyes.
She flipped their positions and pressed Su Li against the shore instead.
“Su Li, I—I’ll do it.”
“Don’t use your tail.”
Otherwise she’d lose all her strength.
Su Li kissed her lips, her voice sweet and seductive.
She sat on the shore and hooked Liu Qiu closer with her leg, bracing herself with both hands and arching her waist.
“Wife-Lord, come.”
She didn’t care who was on top.
But once the human lost her strength, it would be her turn.
Her fox ears, damp yet still adorable, twitched slightly.
Liu Qiu blushed.
“C-can I touch your ears and tail?”
“Of course.”
Su Li pressed a hand against the back of Liu Qiu’s head and placed her tail into Liu Qiu’s palm.
The tail was wet, the fur clinging to the skin.
“Wife-Lord, if you touch the base of my tail, I’ll finish faster.”
“If you make me happy, I’ll let you go. If not, I’ll keep you here forever.”
“I almost died saving you. Isn’t it normal for you to help me recover by mating?”
Her sultry whispers filled Liu Qiu’s ears.
Her heart thudded violently.
Keep her here forever?
She would die.
On their wedding night, she had fainted—but Su Li had woken her again.
It felt good, but endlessly?
Her body wouldn’t survive.
“I—I’ll make you happy,” Liu Qiu said nervously.
She wasn’t skilled, but she would try.
