Chapter 592 - 588: Gentle as Spring Water
Su Muyao looked at the Snake Child, her heart aching with a sour, heavy pain.
She wanted to approach him, to hold him, but seeing him like a hedgehog, so sensitive and fragile, she feared that approaching rashly might upset him.
"You don’t need to control it, it’s not just a devouring force you have, you need to absorb nutrients and energy, and I am willing to provide them willingly..."
Su Muyao patiently communicated with the Snake Child.
Su Muyao guessed that perhaps the Snake Child had strong talents, so there were some vague inherited memories in his mind, making him think that the mother would not be good to him and would be disgusted by him this way.
But she wasn’t like that, she loved each of her children.
"So, will you let me hold you? I love you dearly, I love your father too, and I love you..."
Su Muyao knew that in the Beast World, females seldom expressed their feelings.
But Su Muyao believed that emotions in the heart should be spoken out; if not expressed, the other party wouldn’t understand.
Causing the other to guess might cause misunderstandings.
The same goes for the children.
They must feel the love from their parents.
Listening to Su Muyao, the Snake Child was stunned, his beautiful jade-like eyes stared blankly at her, unable to believe what he heard.
The way he looked at her melted Su Muyao.
Truly beautiful, just like his father.
But cuter.
Seeing that he no longer resisted or rejected her, Su Muyao carefully approached and gently embraced him.
This time, the Snake Child did not resist.
However, his body was very stiff, not daring to move.
He felt so warm, his mother’s body was really warm, so comfortable, not cold at all.
He really liked his mother, loved her embrace.
He cautiously looked down at his snake tail, thinking that people who aren’t snake beastmen probably didn’t like their snake form.
But when he was about to freeze, he could only remain in his snake form.
In Su Muyao’s arms, the Snake Child suddenly transformed into human form.
In his human form, he was incredibly adorable and beautiful, even stunning Su Muyao, who felt he was so soft to hold.
She even kissed his face, making his face turn red instantly.
"I... I also like the mother, love the mother very much..."
He also tried to awkwardly express his affection.
In the dream, Su Muyao played with the Snake Child, combed his hair, and told him stories...
...
Thinking about these dreams, Su Muyao felt a bit dazed, reaching out her hand to gently touch her belly.
"System, System."
"I’m here, Host."
"I dreamed of the Snake Child while I was sleeping..."
Su Muyao told the system about the things in her dream.
The system realized: "No wonder you’ve been sleepy and easily fatigued, Host."
On the way, the system had already noticed this, hence suggesting the Host rest at Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan and wait until the Snake Child is born before dealing with other things.
Su Muyao said: "Indeed, I thought I was just tired."
"Besides, I am eating much more, with an appetite bigger than when I was carrying Da Bao and the second child."
’Da Bao’ refers to the fox child, and the second child refers to the Merfolk child.
On the way here, she indeed felt less energetic.
So during the days at Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan, she mostly ate and slept.
Every day, Xiao Jihan prepared food for her, changing styles to keep things varied.
During this time, it was really thanks to Xiao Jihan’s care.
The Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan wanted to arrange people to take care of her, but she wasn’t used to it, and Xiao Jihan was also worried.
So it was Xiao Jihan who took care of her.
Upon hearing movement, Xiao Jihan knew Su Muyao had awoken and brought a basin of water into the room.
He had everything prepared for her morning routine; even the water in the basin was warm.
During these days, Xiao Jihan was so meticulous in his care.
Su Muyao felt an indescribable sensation swelling in her heart and said softly: "Jihan, thank you for your hard work."
Though she had said such words many times, she didn’t know what else to say to Xiao Jihan.
Saying thank you, he probably wouldn’t want to hear it, thinking she was too distant.
But she really didn’t know how to repay him.
It seemed that from her memories in the Beiluo Tribe, Xiao Jihan was always busy for her and for the family, silently and without complaint.
Xiao Jihan met Su Muyao’s apologetic gaze, his heart trembled slightly. He replied softly: "How can this be called hard work, doing these things makes me happy."
As long as he could see her and be with her every day, his heart was warm.
Su Muyao didn’t say much else. After getting out of bed and freshening up, she sat in front of her dressing table to comb her hair.
Xiao Jihan naturally picked up the comb and brushed her hair for her.
Through the mirror, Su Muyao watched Xiao Jihan, his tall and graceful figure, snow-white hair cascading like a waterfall, his cold and stunning face maintaining a frosty coolness, though softening with warmth when gazing at her.
Quietly he seemed to blend with the ice and snow.
Especially his snow-colored long hair, which changed when the seal was broken, becoming an Ice Wolf Beastman.
Beautiful yet giving an impression of about to ascend.
After brushing, Xiao Jihan set down the comb, "Done."
Su Muyao snapped back to reality and turned to look at Xiao Jihan.
Xiao Jihan lowered his head, meeting her uneasy gaze, and gently embraced her, "Wife, what’s wrong?"
He could sense that his wife had something on her mind, seemed to want to speak to him.
In the moment he held Su Muyao, the frost-like atmosphere softened like spring water.
Only in her presence did Xiao Jihan appear this way.
Su Muyao leaned in his embrace, holding him tightly, "Jihan, after the Snake Child is born, I want to give you a wolf child too, is that alright?"
Xiao Jihan’s heart trembled, slightly releasing Su Muyao, looking down at her.
Su Muyao looked up just in time, allowing him to see clearly into her eyes, understand her thoughts.
Xiao Jihan was moved deeply, his heartbeat quickened, "Alright, thank you, my wife."
His voice carried a hint of hoarseness, his captivating gaze enveloping her, the icy chill in his eyes melted into radiant spring light.
The cold aura surrounding him diminished substantially.
Xiao Jihan understood that her words meant recognition and expressed her love and care for him.
Taking care of Da Bao every day, seeing such a clever, beautiful, and sensible child, he too desired to have a wolf child with her.
Of course, he liked Da Bao too and earnestly wanted to be good to him.
Yet, he wished for a deeper, stronger bond with her.
But these hidden thoughts he never voiced, keeping them in his heart.
He didn’t want to pressure her in any way.
"You didn’t let me say thank you, yet you say it—let’s settle it like this then."
Su Muyao loved children and adored the cute, well-behaved Beast World children even more.
As they were speaking, there was a sudden knock at the door.
"I’ll go take a look."
Xiao Jihan went out to check, and Su Muyao followed.
Outside the door stood the Great Elder, having come personally.
Su Muyao’s expression tightened, "Great Elder, has something happened?"
Generally, without important matters, the Great Elder wouldn’t come personally to see her.
The Great Elder handed over a letter sealed, "Miss Su, this is a secret letter from Mr. Wen’s people."
"However, they encountered Insect Clan Beastmen intercepting it along the way, and the letter was passed through several clans, delaying its delivery somewhat."
"Perhaps it contains urgent matters, you should take a look first, Miss Su."
