Chapter 799: The Peasant Girl’s Splendid Manor
Chapter 799: The First Intimate Contact (1)
The black cloud leopard was faster than the golden beast, but its strength was inferior. After a fierce battle that lasted half an hour, the black cloud leopard was covered in wounds, and its remaining stamina was far from enough to match the golden beast.
However, it refused to give up. It barely held on. After another short while, it finally couldn’t hold out any longer and was defeated by the golden beast. This time, it admitted defeat without a word but still refused to lower its proud head and submit to the golden beast.
Although the golden beast was displeased, it didn’t force the black cloud leopard to submit for Mo Yan’s sake. The territory that had been occupied by the black cloud leopard was now marked by the golden beast again, reclaiming what belonged to it. Since it likely wouldn’t return often, it wasn’t going to let other beasts take advantage of it.
Under the guidance of the black cloud leopard, the group ventured deeper into its territory and gathered a large number of precious medicinal herbs. Mo Yan collected two of each kind, throwing them into her space where Xue Tuanzi planted them in the medicinal field.
Along the way, the golden beast and the black cloud leopard either ignored each other or bellowed at one another, almost ready to fight at any moment. Mo Yan couldn’t help but shake her head, secretly regretting listening to Xue Tuanzi’s suggestion to tame the black cloud leopard. It seemed there would be no peace at home from now on.
What Mo Yan didn’t know was that even if she hadn’t tamed the black cloud leopard, it still wouldn’t have “left her alone.” The black cloud leopard and the golden beast were mortal enemies, and it was either one overpowering the other. With the golden beast’s increased strength, it quickly overwhelmed the black cloud leopard. How could the latter remain indifferent? Besides, as another high-level beast from Yuhua Mountain, it didn’t think it was beneath itself to follow a human, especially since it could increase its power.
The black cloud leopard had already devised a plan. After increasing its strength, it would face the golden beast again and take it down a notch.
With examples of the five beasts and others, Mo Qingze and the others quickly accepted the fact that they had another beast in the family.
However, during dinner, seeing the five beasts all sitting next to Mo Yan, waiting to be fed, they couldn’t help but wonder how much meat this would consume. How much would they eat in a day? In a month? The thought made them hesitant, afraid they might just throw these beasts back into the mountains if they kept calculating.
After dinner, Xiao Ruiyuan stayed for a while at the Mo family’s residence before taking his leave. Before leaving, he, unnoticed by the others, seemingly conjured up a jade bangle of deep green, placing it on Mo Yan’s wrist without a word.
Mo Yan felt a cool sensation on her wrist and looked down to see a hint of green. With a glance, she immediately recognized that this jade bangle was no ordinary piece of jewelry. “For me? This is too precious!” she said.
Although she said so, Mo Yan didn’t remove it, a gentle smile on her face, her expression both pleased and slightly shy.
Seeing that she had accepted it, Xiao Ruiyuan’s lips curved into a faint smile. Unconsciously, his rough thumb caressed her delicate wrist. “The Xiao family has a piece of heirloom jade. Every wife of the Xiao family receives a bangle made from this jade.”
Upon hearing this, Mo Yan’s cheeks flushed slightly. She pouted in protest, “Since it’s an heirloom of the Xiao family, why give it to me?”
Xiao Ruiyuan’s gaze darkened, and without a word, he pulled Mo Yan tightly into his embrace. His hot breath brushed her neck and shoulders as his low voice, full of suppressed emotion, asked, “You know… you know, don’t you?”
“Know what?” Mo Yan allowed herself to be held, feigning ignorance. “I don’t know anything!”
Xiao Ruiyuan’s attention, however, was drawn to her soft earlobe. Hearing her teasing words, almost as if by instinct, he took a gentle bite at her ear, a playful yet punishing gesture.
