Interstellar Beast World: The Ferocious Beast Husband Has a Wild Mind

Chapter 205 Can I Hug You?
Through her persistent absorption, the pollution outside Kunxi's mental barrier has been reduced to a thin layer.

Sang Qing decided to ignore them and focused her mental energy to break through Kunxi's mental barrier.

For high-level orcs who do not actively open their mental barriers, it is difficult to enter their mental sea; the mental barriers of exotic beasts are even more solid.

Just entering the mental barrier consumed most of her mental energy.

If it weren't for her S-level mental strength, where females naturally have lower-level mental strength that can contend with higher-level mental strength, she might not have been able to get in.

As soon as she entered her mental sea, the feeling of that cold, damp snake tongue brushing against her was particularly noticeable, causing her to tremble involuntarily.

Kunxi's mental landscape really contains snakes, and not just one!
In the past, she would have fainted.

Now she simply calmed her mind and methodically helped Kunxi absorb the pollution from the spiritual threads.

Kunxi's spiritual energy hadn't been combed in a long time; it was in complete disarray and far less active than that of the other orcs.

In the lifeless spiritual sea shrouded in black mist, the pale golden spiritual threads became the only light in this world.

The violent spiritual threads coiled around Sang Qing, but could not break through her defenses, and could only be combed through by them.

After finally managing to untangle the mental threads, Sang Qing had almost exhausted her mental energy.

However, due to the accumulation of too much pollution, even though Sang Qing absorbed some of the pollution, Kunxi's mental energy was still not much better, remaining as black as ink.

Although he had not been effectively attacked, Sang Qing was starting to feel dizzy from being in the heavily polluted and volatile environment for so long.

We'll have to treat him another time.

Sang Qing withdrew his hand, and the giant snake on the ground also reverted to its half-beast form the instant Sang Qing regained his focus.

Her messy black hair hung down, longer than before, almost covering half of her face. Her face and neck were covered with fine snake scales. Her lips were pale, and several scales on her neck were missing, revealing ugly scars.

Its long snake tail was tattered and its many missing scales didn't grow back quickly.

Sang Qing glanced at the testing instrument next to her; it read 97, which was acceptable.

The black-haired youth opened his eyes, his blood-red vertical pupils staring blankly at the girl in front of him: "Healer, is that you?"

Kunxi still hadn't realized what was happening. Shouldn't he have turned into a beast and died?

Why would I see a beautiful therapist?
Sang Qing reached out and tapped his forehead, smiling slightly, "I'm making up for the treatment I owed you. Sorry."

Saying those words finally brought me peace of mind.

Kunxi raised his hand in a daze, touched his forehead, and felt the lingering warmth.

The next second, a figure rushed over like a small cannonball, almost knocking him down.

"Waaaah! Captain, you're back!"

"Great!"

"I thought I'd never see you again."

"After you left, no one ever scolded me for training like a dog anymore, boohoo~"

"Captain, I missed you so much, waaaaaah..."

Tao Tao hugged Kun Xi and cried her heart out, while Sang Qing silently stepped aside.

When the other snake-lizard beastmen saw that Kunxi had woken up, they rushed in excitedly, chattering amongst themselves.

The exact words were too noisy to understand, but the captain could hear them clearly.

Looking at his former teammates, Kunxi finally understood what had happened.

Tao Tao was still clinging to his arm, sobbing uncontrollably. Kun Xi pulled him away and roared in a strong voice, "Why are you being so sentimental? I'm alive, not dead! Smile!"

Kunxi roared fiercely, his eyes clearly reddening.

"Hiccup~"

Tao Tao stood there dumbfounded, hiccuped, and then burst into laughter through her tears.

Yu Jin stood quietly to one side, her eyes filled with deep emotions, and her smile was as gentle as sunshine. "Captain, welcome back. This position of captain is too stressful and is not suitable for me."

Yu Jin handed the collar insignia she was carrying to Kunxi.

The bamboo-leaf orc recounted with great enthusiasm how they bravely ventured into the Ulo Forest and how hard the healer worked to treat him, pulling him back from the brink of death.

Kunxi clutched the gleaming collar insignia in his palm, his thoughts a jumble of emotions. The edge of the insignia dug into his flesh, but he felt no pain. It was a long-lost feeling of breathing fresh air.

Since entering the asylum, every day of his life has been a struggle between life and death.

But he wanted to live. Every day he struggled to climb upwards was to live better and stand taller.

He was unwilling to rot under their disgusted gazes, but his unwillingness was ultimately no match for the cruel reality.

He couldn't remember how many times he had been refused treatment.

Kunxi released his grip, his crimson eyes piercing through the crowd to look at the girl standing on the outermost edge.

The other orcs also consciously made way for them.

"Healer, may I hug you?"

Kun looked at her, his voice hoarse, his eyes seemingly filled with countless surging emotions.

Sang Qing was stunned.

"Ok."

Sang Qing walked over, and Kunxi gently hugged her, feeling his body trembling slightly.

Sang Qing stood stiffly in place, neither hugging back nor making any other movement.

But that's enough.

"Thank you, healer."

"No one has ever cared about me like you have."

"Even though he's so afraid of snakes, he gets dizzy just from touching them, yet he was still willing to save me."

"You saved my life, and from now on... I will live for you, and I am willing to sacrifice everything for you."

Sang Qing: “…”

There's no need for that; she doesn't practice alchemy.

"Ah! I'm sorry, I forgot!"

Kunxi seemed to suddenly realize something and jumped back.

She looked at Sang Qing in alarm, but saw that apart from some embarrassment, there was no fear in Sang Qing's eyes.

"Aren't you afraid of snakes anymore?"

Tao Tao squeezed in, looking smug, and said, "Captain, you're only just realizing this? My sister overcame her fear a long time ago for our sake."

Kunxi suddenly realized that if the healer was afraid of snakes, he wouldn't have agreed to let him hold him in the first place.

The therapist is no longer afraid of snakes!
The sweet and soft healer is no longer afraid of him!
After Tao Tao finished speaking, she turned to Sang Qing, blinking her two little rabbit eyes, "Sister, I want a hug too."

Both Tao Tao and Kun Xi have red eyes, but Kun Xi's eyes are a deeper red, long and narrow, giving off a sinister and damp feeling like a snake.

Tao Tao's eyes were a lighter color, like clear rubies, big and round, still red from crying, making her exceptionally well-behaved and endearing.

As soon as Tao Tao spoke, all the other eager gazes turned towards her, their eyes clearly saying: We want it too.

Even Yu Jin's gaze fell upon them, her gentle smile conveying a silent message: we can't show favoritism.

Sang Qing twitched her lips, reached out and patted Tao Tao's head, then shook her head, "No way."

Tao Tao pouted, glancing enviously at Kunxi.

Okay, touching it is fine too.

Considering the captain just escaped death, let's give him a break.

Sang Qing withdrew his hand, but the yearning gazes on him did not disappear. Several snake-beastmen who were nearby had already quietly approached, intentionally or unintentionally lowering their heads.

It's as if it's saying: Come touch me, come touch me!

Sang Qing: “…”

I'd better get out of here quickly.
