The evil female in the space can heal, and five beast husbands risk their lives to protect her.

Chapter 33 Skin to Skin
Qiao Suluo was gently lifted up by Que Hongjin.

Qiao Suluo had to lean almost all her weight on Que Hongjin to stand up. At such close range, she could smell the faint, subtle scent of pine on him, clean, refreshing, and pleasantly elegant.

At that moment, Qiao Suluo suddenly realized that Que Hongjin was actually quite strong.

With her weight, he could easily support her by simply reaching out and gently putting his arm around her.

Just as she stood still, Qiao Suluo felt a sharp pain in her foot.

"Hiss!" She gasped softly.

At this moment, Bai Qianluo arrived in front of her and asked softly, "Where did you hurt yourself, my lady?"

Que Hongjin carefully put his arm around her, letting her lean her weight on him, and gently asked, "Does it hurt anywhere?"

Qiao Suluo is now practically half-leaning in Que Hongjin's arms.

Que Hongjin was tall and slender, like a jade tree, and her body was so thin that she was afraid that her own weight might accidentally knock him to the ground.

She snapped out of her daze and quickly got out of Que Hongjin's arms, gently supporting him with one hand as a crutch and lifting one foot slightly. "It's nothing, I just twisted my ankle by accident."

"Why did you come in the rain?"

"You are not in good health, you should rest at home more."

Jossola spoke to them in a relaxed tone.

Bai Qianlu removed the white cloth from his eyes and held the umbrella over her head to shield her from the rain. His cool and aloof eyes seemed to shimmer with moonlight. "Since my wife hasn't come home, we naturally have to come out and look for her."

Que Hongjin looked at Qiao Suluo, and her beautiful eyes seemed to ripple with very shallow waves, like the first melting of spring snow bringing a gentle stream, but it was fleeting.

He took her arm and handed it to Bai Qianluo, saying, "You help my wife first."

Bai Qianluo naturally took Qiao Suluo's hand to support her body.

Que Hongjin then knelt down to examine her feet.

Qiao Suluo felt Que Hongjin's fingers gently touch her foot bones. The cool, jade-like temperature seemed to carry an electric current, making her feet feel hot.

Her legs trembled slightly as she tried to dodge, but Que Hongjin was checking her and said softly, "Don't move."

Qiao Suluo dared not move.

Que Hongjin examined it and said, "Your ankle is twisted. Let's go home and get it set."

Qiao Suluo was naturally unable to walk in this state.

Que Hongjin turned around and naturally squatted down in front of her.

Qiao Suluo realized something, but couldn't believe it. "What is this?"

Que Hongjin said softly, "My lady, please come up. I'll carry you home first."

Qiao Suluo's pupils trembled; she could hardly believe what she was seeing, and even less could she believe what she was hearing.

In her mind, they had always disliked her and were unwilling to have any contact with her.

The day she transmigrated was also a stormy night. Their dislike for her was so obvious, and they resisted any contact with her.

Even when she was just trying to help them out of kindness, they avoided her like the plague.

Although they seemed to get along harmoniously during this period, Qiao Suluo felt that it was just a facade of harmony, and that they actually loathed her deep down.

Their good upbringing prevented them from speaking ill of her.

Moreover, considering what her predecessor had done to them, even she despised herself, let alone them.

Therefore, she believed she understood their feelings very well.

At this moment, it would be a lie to say that she wasn't moved or touched.

It was as if a door had been knocked open in her hardened heart, softening it completely.

"No...no need, I can walk by myself."

They are such good people; how could she take their kindness for granted?

"It's going to rain heavily soon, come on up first, let's go home first."

Que Hongjin remained crouched, waiting for her to lean against her.

Qiao Suluo looked down at her figure and said, "I'm too fat and heavy, it's not easy to carry me."

"It's not heavy, I can carry it on my back."

Bai Qianlu also spoke up, "How about I carry my wife on my back?" Just then, a clap of thunder sounded in the sky.

"Rumble..."

The thunder was loud, and lightning flashed across the sky, illuminating the night.

Qiao Suluo knew that if they delayed any longer, it might really rain heavily.

Moreover, spending too much time in the mountains and forests can be quite dangerous.

She stopped hesitating, stepped forward and leaned against Que Hongjin's back, wrapping her arms around his neck.

She was worried that her weight might prevent Que Hongjin from getting up.

Unexpectedly, he grabbed her legs with both hands and carried her steadily on his back. He walked very steadily and looked very relaxed.

Bai Qianlu held an umbrella for them, and they walked step by step through the rain curtain to the outside.

Qiao Suluo leaned against Que Hongjin's back and could feel the warmth of his skin.

Their clothes were thin and soaked through by the rain, so leaning against each other was practically skin to skin.

It made her feel quite uncomfortable and embarrassed.

For some reason, being carried like this gave her a sense of security.

It was as if no matter what storms raged outside, he would shield her from them.

Qiao Suluo communicated with the system mentally, saying, "I will use those 1,200 points to exchange for 12 kilograms of weight loss pills."

The system asked, "Host, are you sure?"

"Didn't we say we'd use these points to lose weight in a while?"

The host has already lost ten pounds today.

Qiao Suluo said, "Confirmed."

“I’m too heavy. Que Hongjin has a back injury. It will hurt him a lot if he carries me like this. We need to lighten the weight so that it will be easier for him.”

The system sighed, "The host is truly a wonderful host, it's a pity they don't know it."

Despite her initial hesitation, the system still redeemed the weight-loss pills as Qiao Suluo had instructed.

The points disappeared, and the weight loss pills went directly into Qiao Suluo's mouth. Qiao Suluo swallowed them and instantly lost more than ten pounds.

Now Qiao Suluo weighs 180 pounds.

Que Hongjin carried her forward, then seemed to sense something and paused slightly.

However, it only lasted for a moment before they continued walking forward.

Qiao Suluo naturally knew nothing about these things.

The system said, "By the way, host, you saved that man in red, and the antidote pill has been sent to the shop space. Would you like to use it now?"

Qiao Suluo said, "Not now, let's not make it too obvious."

"Let's use it tonight."

She was actually looking forward to the day when she would be able to expel one-third of the toxins from her body, because she thought her body would feel much lighter.

Soon, they returned home.

Not long after I got home, a torrential downpour began outside.

The raindrops pattered against the eaves, making a crackling sound.

Qiao Suluo breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you all for today."

Thank you for being willing to brave the rain to find her. If she had to move on her own, in such a downpour, she would probably still be on the mountain, and she was worried that she might have been struck by lightning.

After entering the house, Bai Qianlu went directly to the kitchen to boil water so that Qiao Suluo could take a bath and wash up later.

Que Hongjin then sat her down on the edge of the bed and prepared to set her bones.

But by the candlelight, looking at Qiao Suluo, his earlier illusion on the mountain was correct; she really did look much thinner.

Qiao Suluo looked up and met Que Hongjin's beautiful eyes, which held a deep, shimmering light, like a vortex that wanted to swallow her up.

Qiao Suluo felt a little uncomfortable under his gaze and reached up to touch her face. "I... is there something on my face?"
