The wicked female is extremely fierce, but she's pampered by her seven beast husbands.

Chapter 254 Forbidden Behaviors
Shi Ruoan was worried that Ling Chengen would not have the patience, so after explaining in detail, she said very seriously, "I will give you the blood after my reproductive period has eased up and my physical condition has stabilized."

"Based on the current situation, this may continue for several more days."

This means that Ling Chengen will have to remain blind for a few more days.

Looking at her drooping face, Shi Ruoan comforted her, "It might not take that long. The remaining toxins in your body may naturally be expelled in the next few days."

Ling Chengen wrapped the blanket around himself and said with a blank face, "I understand."

“We no longer have Meiji, and you are injured now, so there is no way to rescue the remaining divine servants. So, are you going to leave the Northern Region with me, or stay here alone?”

Shi Ruo'an had already made up her mind: "There's no point in me staying in the Northern Region."

"That means you're coming with me."

Ling Chengen took out all his everyday items from his spatial storage: "Since you have nothing to do right now, do some work to expend your pent-up energy."

Ling Chengen was blunt, and Shi Ruoan turned her head away awkwardly, stood up and said, "Fine, it'll be the same as before, you'll only eat cooked food, right?"

Ling Chengen looked up and said, "That's right, if you don't know how, then learn."

Although psychic abilities can temporarily replace sight, continuous use of psychic abilities is extremely taxing on the body. In the event of an emergency or life-threatening situation, she would be forced to wait for the enemy to finish off while exhausted, which would greatly reduce her chances of winning.

Shi Ruoan could tell that she was still a little angry.

He carefully put away the things he had thrown on the ground, and then checked the structure of the cave to make sure there was enough space and cracks for smoke to escape before starting the fire.

The firelight dispelled the darkness inside the cave, and sparks crackled and popped as it burned.

Perhaps because he had slept for too long, Ling Chengen was now completely unable to fall asleep. He turned halfway around on the small bed, facing the direction of the fire, and asked across the fire, "Why didn't you explain it directly when I woke up?"

Shi Ruoan, holding a dagger, placed a large chunk of beef on the wooden board, pondering how to cut it. Upon hearing her voice, she paused, saying, "At that time, I had just woken up and wasn't fully conscious. I hadn't figured out how to explain what happened to Us when you suggested leaving the cave."

"My first reaction was that you made the right decision."

If he wakes up first, he will take her away from there immediately.

Since Us has already left, if the Ancient Giant Octopus Clan wants to completely eliminate him and cut off the possibility of Shi Panxing returning to take revenge and seize the throne, they will likely make their move at this critical juncture.

Therefore, the most important thing at that time was to leave that cave.

Ling Chengen was very careful; the keen senses of the large feline beastmen far exceeded his expectations.

He didn't even need to do much to clean up the mess; she had already made the best judgment, choosing a route that the sea creatures would avoid as much as possible after coming ashore, and leaving no trace.

So, after confirming that she had handled it well, he breathed a sigh of relief, but soon became drowsy again due to his injuries and the effects of his reproductive period.

As for the frozen sea snake, he didn't notice it at first because Ling Chengen had it in her mouth. It wasn't until he woke up again in the cave and found her fighting with the sea snake that he realized... he should have told her before setting off.

Ling Chengen curled his lip and said speechlessly, "You really deserved to be beaten."

Shi Ruoan said calmly, "You didn't hit hard."

Ling Chengen: "..."

She should have slapped him harder; it's a waste that he has a mouth.

Shi Ruo'an was unaware of her inner thoughts. Being slapped by her was something that would never have happened to him in the past.

Because he was the high priest of the sea tribe, most of the sea tribe only had awe and respect for him and dared not approach him. So apart from his cousin and friend Shi Panxing, he actually had no one to talk to.

He lived a very lonely life.

But because he was used to it, he felt that such a peaceful and uneventful life was actually quite good.

After King Xeya's death, his boring life suddenly became dramatic. After coming into contact with Ling Chengen and the orcs on land around her, he also saw a lot. Even the things that happened in the past two days were somewhat embarrassing for him, but also a very strange and novel experience.

Shi Ruoan had never cooked cooked food before, but he had seen Ling Chengen and her several beast husbands cook it. He was a skillful person, so after a few attempts, he quickly got the hang of it.

Although it wasn't very flavorful, it wasn't bad either.

However, Ling Chengen had become picky about food because of his pampered upbringing, so she didn't eat much of the food Shi Ruoan prepared, and he finished the rest himself.

Shi Ruoan knew that the food was not to her liking, so she did not urge her to eat more. Instead, she lowered her head and began to change the dressing on her wound herself.

It's really troublesome not having a wood-type warrior around at times like this, so we can only use traditional methods to treat it.

Shi Ruoan's injury is not life-threatening, but that does not mean it is not serious.

Tilan's armor-piercing sword was like a long, sharp awl, easily piercing through the hard scales on his body. Wherever it was pierced, it would leave a penetrating wound.

At first glance, this type of wound may not seem large, but if it pierces the abdomen, it could potentially puncture internal organs, causing organ damage and bleeding, leading to other complications. If treatment is not timely, the person may appear fine but suddenly die.

Shi Ruoan also had a penetrating wound in his abdomen. When Ling Chengen applied medicine to him, he did a simple examination and found that there was no damage to his internal organs or blood vessels.

But when Tilan drew his sword, he may have deliberately rotated the blade, making the wound on his waist and abdomen look terrible, more serious than the other stab wounds.

This wound will likely need at least seven to ten days of rest to heal naturally.

Ling Chengen and he naturally couldn't stay here for that long. All she wanted now was for her eyes to recover as soon as possible, leave this awful place, and catch up with the group ahead.

Su Weihua had already gone to find reinforcements. Ling Chengen dared not imagine that he would arrive with a large group of people, only to end up failing miserably and even looking utterly pathetic.

Very shameful.

So she only prayed that the remaining poison would dissipate as soon as possible, and that she could meet up with those people on the way.

Shi Ruoan seemed much more normal afterward, and no longer appeared to be in a drowsy state for long periods of time as before.

Ling Chengen gradually relaxed, thinking that his breeding season was nearing its end, but then...

This guy developed a fever again in the middle of the night, and the situation was even worse than last night.

Ling Chengen could only hear his low breathing and muffled, suppressed voice. Unsure of his condition, he walked around the fire to his side.

He basically didn't change his position; he just put a layer of dry grass under the spot where he slept last night.

When Ling Chengen reached out and touched his shoulder, he was startled by the high temperature emanating from him.

If it keeps cooking like this, I feel like I'll soon see a braised fish.

Ling Chengen hesitated for a long time before deciding whether to give him a fever reducer. When he brought the small pill close to his mouth, he found that his mouth was tightly closed and he couldn't get it in at all.

Just as she was pondering whether to pry his mouth open or remove his jaw and put it back on, a large, burning hot hand grabbed her wrist, then rolled her over on the hay, pressed his burning forehead against her kneeling knee, and slightly parted his lips to let out a painful groan.

Ling Chengen blinked, propped his mouth open, and shoved the medicine into it. She then covered his mouth with her palm, trying to lift his head and shake it a couple of times to force the medicine down his throat. She had seen her classmates feed their dogs medicine in roughly the same way, and it worked very well.

As a result, things backfired.

Shi Ruo'an is not a dog; he is a mermaid who appears calm and reserved, but whose nature always retains a ferocious side.

Just as she was about to cover her mouth again, Shi Ruoan's teeth suddenly transformed into a row of serrated shark teeth, which suddenly bit towards the edge of her palm.

Caught off guard, Ling Chengen had a strong reflex and managed to withdraw her right hand just before he bit her. However, she was still startled by the sudden reaction. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked down and began to carefully observe Shi Ruoan, who was closing her eyes but already displaying her ferocity, with her mental power.

She remained kneeling on one knee, but dared not reach her hand near his mouth again.

Fortunately, he swallowed the fever reducer.

Ling Chengen was about to get up and leave to keep a safe distance from him when she was pulled back by the force on her wrist and fell face down on his chest. The man, who was burning with heat, groaned in pain as he pressed her down. He then immediately pushed her away from his chest and pressed her down on the dry grass beside him.

Ling Chengen noticed the blood seeping from his shoulder and wondered how likely it was that he would be driven by instinct.

Or, in other words, if he intends to use force, can she strike him decisively, knock him unconscious, injure him, or kill him outright?

Fortunately, Shi Ruoan only pinned her down with his body and did not take any further action.

But Ling Chengen's body remained tense. Because he couldn't see, his other senses were amplified, especially his body, which was burning like a furnace. His forehead and neck were covered in sweat, and his lips were extremely dry.

He adjusted his position, unsure if it was right, and rested his head on her shoulder.

Ling Chengen sensed something was wrong and felt that he wanted to attack him.

Moreover, his fighting ability is much stronger than hers; what if he suddenly bites her neck...?

There's absolutely no way she can be saved.

Ling Chengen wanted to leave, but he noticed her intention as soon as she moved and tightened his grip on her body.

Ling Chengen was a little nervous. He said seriously to Shi Ruoan, who was in a daze, "Shi Ruoan, if you dare to bite me, I will definitely shave your head bald and pluck all the scales off your tail to use as decorations."

After a long while, he lowered his head and pressed it against her delicate neck, slowly opened his mouth, and finally just pressed his slightly dry lips to the skin of her neck. His breath was like fire, with a little restlessness, all falling behind her sensitive ear.

Ling Chengen gripped the bone blade tightly, his body tense, but his mind was unusually calm as he quickly considered whether the knife, piercing his back, could save his life.

Before she could make a decision, a wet drop landed on the aorta in her neck.

"It won't bite you, don't be afraid."

Shi Ruoan's voice was muffled, and her eyes remained closed, but she did not move her head away from her shoulder.

Ling Chengen tilted his head slightly, his cheek brushing against his crimson lips, and asked with lingering fear, "Are you awake?"

Shi Ruoan held her body tightly with both hands, her strength so great it seemed she wanted to break her bones, and said in a hoarse voice, "Don't you know it's dangerous for me to get close to you at a time like this?"

"I thought your breeding season was almost over..."

Shi Ruoan swallowed hard, her Adam's apple bobbing slightly on her shoulder, and she gasped, "Could you give me some blood?"

He wanted to try using female blood to soothe his terrible breeding season.

Actually, if he had a choice, he wouldn't want to do that.

He was afraid of becoming addicted.

But he himself wasn't sure if he could remain conscious without her blood.

Ling Chengen shook his wrist: "Okay, but you have to let go of my hand first."

Shi Ruoan released her left hand and felt that the part of his body that was reacting the most was completely excited. Afraid that she would be frightened, he immediately turned his legs into a fishtail, but that part still uncontrollably protruded from the merman's protective cavity...

Ling Chengen pushed his head off his shoulder and brought his wrist to his lips: "Bite."

"Hurry up and finish this breeding season of yours, it's never going to end."

Shi Ruoan looked at the slender wrist that was brought to her mouth, hesitated for a few seconds, and then used her sharp teeth to bite through her skin.

The moment the sharp teeth pierced his skin, Ling Chengen frowned slightly.

It hurts a bit when he bites you; the merman's teeth are similar to those of a shark, but they are sharper and harder.

Blood trickled down the skin of his wrist and dripped onto the hay.

Ling Chengen saved his life by bleeding himself out, and couldn't help but mutter, "Since I met you, I haven't had many good things happen to me."

Shi Ruoan suppressed the urge to continue biting the wound and obtaining her blood. She put the hemostatic medicine into her mouth and bandaged the wound for her.

Can I hold you a little longer?

Shi Ruoan suddenly asked in a low voice.

Ling Chengen rolled his eyes: "What's the use of holding me? We can't do anything, isn't that even more agonizing?"

Shi Ruoan sighed softly, "I'm sorry to have shown you my most unbearable side."

Ling Chengen didn't think there was anything wrong with losing control of the breeding season.

Having witnessed Bai Qingyu's breeding season and had relatively close contact with him, she gradually realized that the breeding season for beastmen is roughly similar to a woman's menstrual cycle—it comes when it's time and ends when it's time to leave.

It is not controlled by personal thoughts.

Ling Chengen let him hold him for a while, and then he noticed that his desire was rapidly subsiding. The cedar scent that had suddenly become strong when he was feverish had also disappeared.

His self-control is much better than Bai Qingyu's.

This was Ling Chengen's only thought afterward.

Shi Ruoan didn't hold her for long; as her desire subsided, she quickly released her arms.

He pulled her up from the straw mat, stared at her for a while, and then suddenly reached out and pulled up her long hair, which was damp with his sweat, and tucked it behind her ear.

Ling Chengen yawned. With the danger signal gone, his nerves relaxed, and his body naturally felt tired.

She ignored his somewhat ambiguous little gestures, went straight back to her small bed, covered herself with a blanket, and fell asleep.

Shi Ruoan looked at her as if nothing had happened and was both amused and exasperated.

These taboo behaviors and insurmountable boundaries that he considered insignificant meant nothing to her.
