Chapter 69 Peacock Feather

Just by listening to the sound, Bai Qianluo's cold and icy blood gradually began to warm up.

Her voice was completely different from usual; it sounded like she was coquettishly pleading with someone, as if she were weeping and lamenting.

But it felt as if something was tightly gripping his chest, causing a dull, throbbing pain.

As he listened to Qiao Suluo's passionate voice, he couldn't help but think of her charming appearance at that moment, and a blush appeared on his usually aloof and detached eyes.

Bai Qianlu took a deep breath, tried to calm herself down, and went back to her room first.

But that night, he couldn't sleep at all; he was completely sleepless, his mind filled with images of Qiao Suluo.

……

Qiao Suluo eventually drifted off to sleep and lost consciousness.

Que Hongjin looked at her peaceful sleeping face and couldn't help but reach out and gently stroke her eyebrows and eyes. He could see her face clearly even in the moonlight.

"Your skin has gotten even whiter?"

Que Hongjin initially thought it was her imagination, but upon closer inspection, she did notice that Que Hongjin's skin was indeed a bit whiter than the night before.

Que Hongjin realized something, and her eyes became even more unfathomable. "My wife, what kind of secret do you hold?"

Muttering to herself in thought, Que Hongjin finally sighed helplessly. She would only tell them her secrets when she wanted to, otherwise he would never be able to find out.

Fortunately, he was always by her side, which is why he discovered all of this.

Just as Que Hongjin was lying down with her in his arms, preparing to rest, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his shoulder blade, which made him sit up abruptly.

"what happened?"

The waves of pain caused his forehead to be covered in a fine layer of sweat.

But Que Hongjin is extremely tolerant of pain.

After enduring it for a while, he realized something, his expression changed, and a storm raged in his heart, "Where is it where the wing broke?"

Afraid of waking Qiao Suluo, Que Hongjin got off the bed and went to the ground, transforming into his peacock form. He turned his head to look at the broken part of his wing, and saw that wings were actually growing back.

He even doubted that he was imagining things.

His eyes widened in shock. "Wings are growing back?"

Just as dawn was breaking, Que Hongjin discovered that her wings had grown by one-fifth.

Although it was only one-fifth, it was still enough to shock him, and a warm feeling washed over him again and again.

He still remembered the words he had heard from the Peacock family.

"Que Hongjin is already a cripple. How can a cripple be the future head of my Peacock Clan?"

"That's right. So many imperial physicians and divine doctors have examined him, and we've persisted for several months, but his body is getting weaker and weaker. His wings are broken like that, there's absolutely no way they can grow back. Even a miracle wouldn't work. Peacock beastmen don't have wings, so naturally they can't inherit the power of my Peacock family's heritage."

Even his fiancée's family came to break off the engagement.

"Patriarch, this is a decision made by everyone in the family. Family resources can no longer be used on him. The doctor has said he doesn't have much time left. We must prioritize the family's honor and choose a new heir..."

"However, since a cripple has enjoyed the family's resources for so long, he should serve the family. Why not let him marry Qiao Suluo in her place..."

At this moment, the words he had heard before kept echoing in Que Hongjin's ears. Not to mention that the attitude of the clan elders had changed, even the servants who used to be respectful to him had changed their attitude.

He couldn't accept those changes and didn't want to think about them.

But looking at his wife at this moment, he suddenly felt grateful for all the things he had experienced. It was because of this that he had met such a wonderful wife.

The pain subsided, and the wings stopped growing, but he knew that the wings could grow back.

What she said was true.

I didn't lie to him.

Que Hongjin transformed back into human form and came to the bed. He excitedly kissed her forehead and murmured in his heart, "My wife, it's you, isn't it?"

"You made my wings work miracles."

Although it's unclear what ability she used, just as she could soothe him with her mental power, she could use her own strength to make him grow wings.

Qiao Suluo vaguely sensed Que Hongjin's presence, her eyelashes trembled, and she mumbled, "Sleepy, don't..." She was afraid that Que Hongjin would continue.

Que Hongjin said in a low, hoarse voice, "Okay, go to sleep. I was just too excited."

Hearing his unusual tone, Qiao Suluo felt a lump in her throat. She opened her eyes abruptly and met Que Hongjin's pale red eyes, which were misty with tears.

Qiao Suluo had never seen Que Hongjin like this before. Seeing him like this, she was instantly wide awake.

"Que Hongjin, what's wrong?"

"Are you feeling unwell again?"

When Que Hongjin lowered her head, she could see the deep worry in Qiao Suluo's eyes.

Nobody in this world cares about him, but luckily he has her.

He reached out and gently hugged her, burying his head in her neck. "I feel fine, not uncomfortable at all. I feel more relaxed than ever before."

"Some of the poison in my body has been neutralized, and some wings have also grown back."

"My lady, thank you."

At that moment, besides saying thank you, he didn't know what else he could do or what else he could give her.

Once he recovers, he can give her everything better.

Upon hearing this, Qiao Suluo's eyes lit up. "The wings have really grown a little?"

Unexpectedly, the system's words were true; this method could quickly repair their bodies.

If that's the case, she wouldn't mind getting closer to them.

Looking into her bright eyes, Que Hongjin asked, "Want to see?"

"Yes, I want to see it."

"It looks a bit ugly with broken wings." Que Hongjin felt a little inferior; he wanted to be the most perfect version of himself in her eyes.

Qiao Suluo shook her head and said, "No, in my eyes, you are beautiful no matter what."

Qiao Suluo felt sorry for him, seeing him fall from grace.

Que Hongjin sighed inwardly, but still revealed her true form as a peacock.

Qiao Suluo was immediately stunned by his peacock form.

Its dazzling feathers are as vibrant as emeralds, each feather shimmering with a warm and captivating luster, its lines flowing smoothly, like a finely sculpted work of art painted by nature with delicate brushstrokes, exuding a luxurious and noble sense of mystery.

Only one wing was missing a piece, making him look like a work of art full of regret.

She reached out and gently stroked the spot on his broken wing. "Does it hurt here?"

Que Hongjin's wings trembled slightly. "It doesn't hurt."

When she touches me, I don't feel any pain anymore. In fact, the pain that used to cause me numbness seems to have become a habit. Now, I feel that I can receive her tenderness, so I don't feel any pain anymore.

At this moment, the system spoke up: "Host, Peacock Feather, Peacock Feather."

Qiao Suluo suddenly remembered that the Peacock Feather could earn a lot of points in the space.

So Qiao Suluo stared straight at his peacock feather, not saying a word, but wanting it in her heart.

Que Hongjin found the look in her eyes amusing, reached out and plucked a handful of peacock feathers, handing them to her, "Here."

"Is this for me? It must hurt a lot to pull out so much, right?"

"It doesn't hurt. I'll give it to my wife. I'm glad she likes it."

There is a tradition within the peacock family that giving peacock feathers to females represents a courtship gesture and a declaration of affection.

This was the first time he had ever given something away.

Qiao Suluo looked at the peacock feather, but what she was thinking about was points.

Just then, the system said anxiously, "Host, I sense that Chu Moyuan is in danger. You need to go and save him immediately."

Seeing everyone's comments makes me very happy. Thank you all for your support; it gives me renewed energy. I'll keep going and promise to update two chapters every day!
