Chapter 74 Cold on the outside, warm on the inside
Looking at that face, Chu Moyuan couldn't help but want to say something harsh.

Just looking at that face made him involuntarily think of all the things she had done to him in the past, and it made him want to strangle her.

But the aroma of the food kept tempting him, especially the few slices of roasted meat wrapped in leaves, which looked delicious.

However, as if he had thought of something, Chu Moyuan's eyes suddenly darkened, filled with a deep and dangerous light. "Heh, this kind of trick again."

As he spoke, Chu Moyuan reached out and took Ye Zi, placing her and the roasted meat steadily on the stone beside him. Then he stood up and pulled her into his arms.

Qiao Suluo was completely caught off guard and bumped into his arms.

Her nose hurt from the impact; it's the most vulnerable part of her body. A wave of soreness surged up her face, and her eyes welled up with tears. She was momentarily stunned and involuntarily murmured, "Ugh, so hard."

She never expected Chu Moyuan's chest to be so hard, as if it carried a taut sense of power.

Chu Moyuan hadn't expected her to be so delicate and soft. He held her waist tightly with one hand and stroked her neck with the other, as if he was thinking about how best to snap her.

At this moment, Qiao Suluo's neck and chin were being stroked. His well-defined fingers, with thin calluses from years of fighting, could evoke a shiver in her body when they touched her skin.

Qiao Suluo's body trembled slightly uncontrollably. She was forced to look up at him and ask, "Chu Moyuan, what exactly do you want to do?"

Chu Moyuan's eyes were as deep as an icy pool, and his voice was low and husky, "What are you pretending for? You just want to drug me this way so you can get me, don't you?"

"Don't even think about me serving you or forming a bond with you."

That wicked woman only knows how to waste food.

Upon hearing Chu Moyuan's words, Qiao Suluo snapped back to her senses, her pupils widening instantly.

Although the original owner of this body disliked Chu Moyuan and the others, their appearances were so beautiful that she wanted to possess their bodies and have them serve her.

However, Chu Moyuan and the others were unwilling, so their predecessor not only abused them in various ways, but also drugged them using various methods.

Once, when Chu Moyuan was weak, his predecessor put medicine in the water he was going to drink. As a result, Chu Moyuan was restless for several days and had to endure it for several days. Although he finally got through it, it is said that part of his body was ruined.

Then, the original owner of the body disliked Chu Moyuan for being useless, so he tried every means to sell him.

Thinking of this memory, Qiao Suluo couldn't help but want to curse.

Chu Moyuan had been observing Qiao Suluo's expression. Seeing her look, a dark glint flashed in his deep eyes. "It seems you still remember."

"You're not worthy of me."

Qiao Suluo was on the verge of tears. She tried to explain, "I really didn't drug you."

This is a snake-beastman! Even if she had a hundred times the courage, she wouldn't want him or form a pact with him.

What she was thinking about was going back to form a contract with Bai Qianluo to awaken the system, not Chu Moyuan at all.

But the original body seemed to like him very much because he was a snake-beastman with a special physical structure. It was said that it would take at least a whole day to form a bond during the restless period. The original body really wanted him, so much so that it used all sorts of ruthless methods.

"Believe me, food is precious here, and I really didn't poison the food."

"Really, if you don't believe me, I'll eat it for you, or you can find the ingredients yourself and I'll cook it for you. I can cook a lot of food..."

Qiao Suluo explained with great effort; if she didn't explain, her neck would break.

She saw hatred, resentment, and murderous intent in Chu Moyuan's eyes.

Yes, she was certain she saw murderous intent.

Qiao Suluo tried her best to show a sincere expression so that Chu Moyuan could see it clearly.

But because she had bumped her nose earlier, her eyes were now misty with tears, giving her a pitiful look.

Chu Moyuan's eyes grew even darker. He reached out and gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes. "This is another new trick you've come up with. You really haven't changed." She would never have acted like this before, nor would she have shed tears. She would only be arrogant and domineering.

And his eyes are wrong too. When did his greedy and ruthless eyes become so clear and pure? Interesting.

"do not Cry."

Qiao Suluo sensed that Chu Moyuan's grip had loosened somewhat, as if he was impatient to see her cry.

Suddenly, as if she had unlocked a new skill, Qiao Suluo bit her tongue hard, causing herself to cry from the pain. The tears fell down her face.

She can act too.

"This is really not a trick. I really don't want to have you. I'm just stuck here now, in a place I don't know, and I feel very dangerous. I feel safe with you, and I think you can take me out safely."

"But we can't starve to death before we get out safely."

Chu Moyuan shoved her away, saying, "Take back your tears."

After being thrown off, Qiao Suluo sat down on the ground with a thud, letting out a slow sigh of relief.

As she spoke, she quickly wiped away her tears. She didn't want to cry, but if it worked for him, she could use it.

Qiao Suluo sat on the ground for a while to recover, then quickly picked up the leaf, wrapped it around the roasted meat, and ate it quickly.

As she ate, she mumbled, "Look, I ate it myself, there really wasn't any poison in it. If there were poison, I wouldn't have eaten it."

Chu Moyuan narrowed his eyes dangerously, staring intently at her as if to see if she would have any reaction to the Chinese medicine.

After a while, all that could be heard was the sound of the wind, and Qiao Suluo was perfectly fine.

Chu Moyuan strode out.

As he was about to disappear into the forest, and Qiao Suluo seemed to hear the howling of wolves, and the sky was getting darker and darker, Qiao Suluo was a little scared and quickly got up to catch up with him, "Chu Moyuan, where are you going?"

Chu Moyuan ignored her and continued walking into the forest.

"Chu Moyuan, can you please not leave me here?"

If she had the system, she wouldn't be so afraid, but now that the system is asleep, she's in great danger here.

Let alone the wild animals in the forest, even the river itself might harbor dangerous creatures, such as crocodiles. Just thinking about it sent chills down her spine.

Although Chu Moyuan hated and loathed his predecessor, he was not inherently bad; otherwise, he would have killed his predecessor when he abused or hurt him.

So in this desolate wilderness, the only person she could trust was him.

Chu Moyuan heard her words but didn't turn his head.

Qiao Suluo could only quicken her pace to catch up. "Chu Moyuan, I regret selling you. I earned sixty taels of silver to redeem you, but the Qin family said you weren't there. Qin Siyan even deliberately cursed me. On my way to find you, I was shot by that Mo Xuanye. I almost died several times. It was so hard to find you. You can't be so heartless as to abandon me. Wild beasts will come out at night and eat me."

"I promise I won't mistreat or hurt you again when I go back this time..."

Qiao Suluo blurted out all these words. She understood that this man was cold on the outside but warm on the inside. He looked indifferent and ruthless, but in reality, he would not leave someone to die.

Therefore, to win him over, you must first lower your stance verbally and make him believe that you are changing.

She was chasing after him in a hurry, and it was getting dark. She didn't notice something and tripped over it, falling directly to the ground.

"what!"

Hearing the voice, Chu Moyuan turned around and looked at her impatiently, saying, "This is such a hassle."
