Chapter 75 is not a disguise
When Qiao Suluo saw Chu Moyuan stop, her eyes lit up and she showed a look of surprise.

This scoundrel is not bad. Even though his predecessor did so many vicious things, he may say hurtful things, but he won't actually abandon someone to their death.

For her, the moment he stopped meant something different.

Chu Moyuan looked down at Qiao Suluo, meeting her bright and surprised eyes, and a playful smile appeared on his lips.

Those eyes are so expressive, they seem to speak volumes, she's really different from before.

He wanted to see what her purpose was and what secrets she was hiding.

"Still lying there, do you want to be eaten by wild animals?"

"There are quite a few wild snakes in this mountain forest."

Upon hearing the word "snake," Qiao Suluo instinctively broke out in goosebumps. She didn't know where she got the strength, but she scrambled to her feet and ran quickly towards Chu Moyuan.

When Qiao Suluo ran to Chu Moyuan's side, she cautiously reached out and grabbed his sleeve, as if that would give her a sense of security and allow her to avoid the dangers around her.

Chu Moyuan looked down at those chubby little hands, which were tightly gripping his sleeve. If it were before, he would have simply flicked his sleeve away to shake her off.

He would never have allowed her to touch him before, not even his sleeve.

But for some inexplicable reason, he didn't move this time.

Seeing her looking around cautiously and fearfully, Chu Moyuan suddenly seemed to remember something, and chuckled softly, "Qiao Suluo, you may have forgotten that my true form is also a snake."

As he spoke, Chu Moyuan transformed into a giant black snake in front of her, its head pointing directly at her.

It was so sudden that Qiao Suluo was completely unprepared, to the point that she fainted from shock.

The instant she fainted, Chu Moyuan transformed into human form and reached out to catch her, preventing her from falling to the ground.

Chu Moyuan looked down at her, his eyes changing. "You really are afraid of snakes, it's not an act."

He didn't miss the change in her eyes and expression just now; people's reactions in the moment of fear are instinctive.

"Heh, I don't know who gave you the guts to come here looking for me."

Chu Moyuan used his long, slender, pale fingers to brush aside her hair, revealing her entire face. He scrutinized her carefully, running his fingers over her cheeks, chin, and neck, but found nothing amiss.

"It seems there's nothing wrong with this face."

However, upon closer inspection, a dark glint flashed in Chu Moyuan's eyes, "She really has lost weight and become a bit paler."

……

In her sleep, Qiao Suluo dreamed of nothing but snakes. She felt a chill and her body trembled instinctively.

Gradually, she seemed to feel that the surroundings were warmer, and the snake in her dream seemed to have disappeared. Only then did she fall asleep peacefully and stop trembling.

When she woke up again, she was awakened by the scent.

When she woke up, it was still dark, and the only light was the fire in front of her.

She was stunned when she realized that she was wrapped in an animal skin.

"woke up?"

Hearing that cold voice, Qiao Suluo turned to look at Chu Moyuan, and immediately thought of what had happened before she fell into a coma. She couldn't help but glare at him.

That scoundrel deliberately scared him.

However, during the time she was unconscious, he didn't leave or abandon her. For that alone, Qiao Suluo couldn't really blame him.

And the animal skin she was wearing while she was asleep couldn't have just fallen on her for no reason; he must have covered her with it.

She vaguely remembered that when she went to sleep, she was cold at first, but then she felt warm.

The warmth comes from the animal hide and the campfire, respectively.

Qiao Suluo's feelings suddenly became complicated.

Despite being abused and harmed by his predecessor, and even being sold off and nearly killed by him, Chu Moyuan never considered killing her and was still willing to consider her feelings.

This shows that he was an extremely good person. The thought that such a person would end up as the dark villain the system described made her heart clench.

At that moment, she suddenly wanted to change the situation, not because of the mission, but because she really wanted to save them.

"He still has the energy to glare at people, so he seems to be alright."

Qiao Sulu pouted and said, "You're deliberately trying to scare me."

Chu Moyuan's deep eyes shimmered, and he said softly, "Didn't you used to love it when I transformed into my snake form?"

"You said you like my original form."

Upon hearing these words, Qiao Suluo suddenly didn't know how to explain.

Her predecessor grew up in the beast world and was used to all kinds of beast forms. However, she grew up in the technological age and usually has to go to the zoo to see some animals. Her fear of snakes is a physical instinct that she can't change.

"Ah, um, I...I..."

Qiao Suluo tried to find a reason to explain, but she couldn't come up with one.

As Chu Moyuan roasted meat over the fire, he spoke in a low voice, "You like to chain my snake body, you like to whip it with a barbed whip, you like to cut off my scales with a knife, and you like to watch my snake body bleed..."

Chu Moyuan spoke slowly and deliberately, as if he were talking about something unimportant.

But this is indeed his experience of being abused, and what he said is only a small part of it.

Following his words, Qiao Suluo involuntarily thought of the scenes of her predecessor abusing Chu Moyuan. She couldn't bear to think about such scenes, let alone what Chu Moyuan had gone through.

Her head started to ache.

"Don't...don't say anymore. I was wrong before, it was all my fault. I'm sorry."

“I shouldn’t have treated you like that. I was poisoned and some things I did were out of control. I won’t do it again.”

Although it was created by the previous incarnation, she did occupy this body, and in the eyes of others, she was herself.

If saying these words would make Chu Moyuan feel better, she was willing to say them.

Chu Moyuan locked his gaze on her tightly, his eyes like dangerous flames that could burn her away inch by inch.

This wicked woman actually said such things and even apologized.

"You don't think that a few apologies and a few words will make me believe you've really changed. Don't even think about it. The reason I'm not letting you die here is because I think it would be too easy for you to die so easily."

As Chu Moyuan spoke, he continued grilling the meat, and once it was done, he began to eat it slowly and deliberately.

When Qiao Suluo heard his words, her lips twitched. She knew it would be difficult to make people believe her, because her predecessor was too vicious.

However, she noticed that when he ate, every move he made was so elegant and refined, as if he had received excellent upbringing.

And she also felt hungry.

The rumbling sound of her stomach suddenly rang out in the night, making Qiao Sulu feel very embarrassed.

She stared at him longingly. Taking food from her spatial storage right in front of him would only expose the secret of her space. Now that Chu Moyuan hated her to death, she shouldn't reveal her trump card so easily.

Watching Chu Moyuan eat was really torturous; my stomach kept growling.

The scoundrel acted as if he hadn't heard a thing.

A whole chicken was roasting on the fire in front of him.

After a while, he seemed to have finished eating, and then slowly wiped his hands, looking extremely clean.

His fingers were long and slender like jade, with distinct knuckles, and they gleamed with a lustrous white jade-like sheen in the firelight, making them very beautiful.

After wiping his hands, he turned to look at her, his eyes cold and dark, and asked, "Want some?"

At this moment, Qiao Suluo didn't know how to answer, afraid of saying the wrong thing and angering Chu Moyuan.

Just then, a huge and ferocious bird suddenly appeared out of nowhere, roaring as it swooped down towards Qiao Suluo.
