CHAPTER 30: CHAPTER 30: YOU HAVE TO TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR ME

Lu Mufeng released his hold, and Ruan Li merely turned over, switching from lying on her side to lying flat.

The man immediately clung to her like a snake.

After a while, Ruan Li asked again, "Lu Mufeng, are you okay now?"

A thick nasal "Mm."

Yet his actions didn’t change one bit.

Ruan Li directly pried his hand off, set it aside, and said, "Since you’re fine now, just hurry up and leave my room. I’ll pretend nothing happened."

The man’s dark pupils contracted slightly, seemingly surprised that the little female who had just been so close now turned hostile in a flash.

Lu Mufeng lifted the corners of his lips and finally said, "You need to take responsibility for me."

This time it was Ruan Li’s pupils that shook; she flatly refused, "You barged into my room yourself and exposed yourself to me. I’m the one who should be disgusted..." Okay, she wasn’t disgusted at all, in fact, it’s quite a sight, especially with that build.

"Anyway, my eyes have suffered great injury too. I’ll pretend none of this happened tonight, and Marshal Lu, you wouldn’t want others to know, right?"

At 28, having been through countless battles and facing enemies without fear, Marshal Lu felt deeply frustrated at this moment.

He lowered his gaze, making it hard for anyone to read his eyes.

"Alright."

The man took clothes out of the Space Hub and quickly put them on.

Despite the lingering heat of the estrus that made him restless, his body and mind dearly coveted the scent and warmth of the little female, but he knew this was indeed his fault.

He was well aware that during estrus, he would temporarily enter a beast form and wild instincts would overtake reason, but he didn’t lock himself up. Instead, he indulged in following his instincts.

Once dressed in his daily uniform, the man suddenly knelt on one knee on the ground and said softly, "Little Li, it was my mistake. I’m willing to compensate you in any way, but I hope you seriously consider me."

Ruan Li was clearly shocked by his gesture, momentarily lost for words.

The man slowly lifted his head, his eyes resolute, "Any condition is acceptable."

Lu Mufeng hadn’t expected that he would shamefully resort to using conditions to attract a female; he still harbored selfish intentions.

The usually cold and abstinent Marshal was now kneeling before her, a man of high status bowing so low, such allure and impact could unsettle any woman’s heart.

Ruan Li couldn’t avoid it either.

"You may get up first. I will think about it carefully," she controlled when she resolved it.

The man stood up and nodded, then took something from the Space Hub; in his hand was a stone that eerily resembled the shape of the moon.

"This is for you."

Ruan Li took the Moon Stone curiously, "What is it?"

Lu Mufeng calmly replied, "Just a pretty stone."

Who would gift a stone? Though this stone was crystal clear and quite pleasant to look at.

"Why give me a stone?"

"...I just thought you might like it." The man’s ear tips seemed to flush slightly red.

Ruan Li did not refuse.

Seeing Lu Mufeng about to leave, she quickly called out, "Wait a minute."

The man turned his head, his gaze intense as he looked at her.

"Don’t use the door, leave through the window. Be careful so the neighbors don’t see you."

The man was silent for a moment, "Okay."

Ruan Li put the stone in a small wooden box for safekeeping and insisted on taking a quick shower before sleeping even though it was late.

As expected, she slept until about one or two in the afternoon.

She was woken up by Shi Jue knocking on the door.

Shi Jue hadn’t expected Ruan Li to sleep for so long; he was worried she’d been alone in the room for such a long time, so he knocked.

With her hair all messy, Ruan Li rushed to the door to open it for Shi Jue.

"Is there something you need?"

Shi Jue stood there dazed, "...Nothing."

Inside was a

Dense aura enveloped the place, the intense snake beastman scent made Shi Jue’s mind go blank for a moment.

There must have been excessive activities.

This scent seemed to be Marshal Lu’s.

The scent on Ruan Li wasn’t as strong.

"Did you sleep well last night?"

Ruan Li didn’t notice Shi Jue’s sudden change of tone, "Not so well, I even had a nightmare of a snake..."

"Oh, never mind, I’ll wash up and be right down."

She closed the door and exhaled, almost revealing last night’s events.

Outside, Shi Jue watched the closed door, his smile gradually fading as loneliness and jealousy spread like wild vines.

After changing, Ruan Li went downstairs and saw two large machines in the living room, while the medical staff greeted her politely, "Miss Ruan, you’re awake."

Lu Mufeng’s expression was indifferent as he glanced at her, as though last night’s events were just a dream.

"Oh, is it time for another assessment?"

"Yes, we suspect yesterday’s equipment wasn’t precise enough, so we borrowed two from the institute. Miss Ruan, when would be convenient for you? It will take around half an hour of your time."

Ruan Li was just about to agree now.

Lu Mufeng spoke, "Little Li, eat first."

The medical staff quickly smiled, "Yes, yes, Miss Ruan, eat first, we can wait as long as needed."

Ruan Li didn’t stand on ceremony; Bai He had specially left her some food for lunch. He heated it up and brought it to the table.

After eating, Ruan Li cooperated with the medical staff for a physical examination.

A string of data flashed across the screen.

The medical staff calmly pushed their glasses up the bridge of their nose, "Healing Ability Level 3, concentration too high, diluted ten thousand times still exceeds limits."

"Congratulations Miss Ruan, your healing ability has increased again. Mind sharing what you did after we left last night?" Rooted in a predilection for details, they momentarily forgot their boundaries.

Until warned by Lu Mufeng, they sheepishly withdrew.

Yet, Ruan Li took their words to heart.

What did she do?

Ate, had a sleep, had a nightmare... oh, and was entangled by a black snake for a while.

Judging by all accounts, none seemed to explain the enhancement of her healing ability.

"Miss Ruan’s fertility remains at C, if it were at A-level, you’d surely bear many outstanding beastmen and females for the Empire."

"Is there any other issue with her body?" Lu Mufeng was also puzzled why Ruan Li’s healing ability would increase. She had maintained Level 1 Healing Ability from the time she was brought back to the Lu Family until she left before marriage,

So, what exactly happened during that time?

Lu Mufeng’s gaze on Ruan Li deepened.

"Miss Ruan’s body is very healthy, just a little low on estrogen, but as long as the life with Beast Husband is harmonious, it will soon return to normal levels."

The moment this was said, the expressions of several men in the living room subtly changed.
