Chapter 330: Basement
West Continent.
Sang Luo returned to the dilapidated manor once again, filled with a sense of melancholy.
Spiderwebs and dust covered the stone path, weeds grew in the cracks of the walls, many windows were shattered, and valuable items had been looted clean… After so many years, it hadn't been demolished, and was surrounded by official seals.
Quan Jin, on the other hand, showed no emotion. He went to the study, pushed open a bookshelf against the wall, and felt along the wall until he found a mechanism disguised as a brick, and pressed it.
With a rumbling sound, a stone door appeared in the wall.
The stone door opened.
The two walked in.
The debris outside was insignificant. The treasures Quan Jin had collected in previous years were all in the basement.
Just inside, there was a wall full of various advanced weapons. She picked up a revolver and played with it, feeling its heavy and textured weight.
After fiddling with it for a moment, she opened the cylinder, which was empty.
Quan Jin took the pistol, loaded it with bullets, pulled the trigger, and fired a shot at the wall.
It instantly pierced through, creating a crack over ten centimeters wide.
Sang Luo clicked her tongue. "The power is considerable, but not as useful as innate abilities."
"When innate abilities can't be used, it's a good self-defense weapon." Quan Jin handed her the pistol. "You can also play with it and practice your aim."
Sang Luo thought it made sense and chose a few guns she liked, just in case she needed them one day.
The basement was roughly divided into outer, middle, and inner sections.
Walking further in.
The basement was filled with many boxes, but Quan Jin didn't give them a second glance and continued walking inside.
Sang Luo followed.
The innermost part of the basement was rather empty, with only a table.
A wooden box was placed on the table.
Quan Jin opened the wooden box.
Sang Luo leaned over to take a look. Inside were layers of snakeskin, piled up like cloth.
"How beautiful, and you've preserved it so well." Sang Luo gently stroked the silky snakeskin, which was light purple.
Quan Jin turned to look at her, his eyes flickering slightly. "Male snakes not only keep their first shed skin, but also keep every subsequent shed skin to give to their partners as intimate clothing."
"No wonder…" Sang Luo liked it very much. The snakeskin felt extremely light, breathable, and very elastic.
Gauze was suitable for making elaborate outer garments, while snakeskin was more suitable for intimate clothing.
"Are there any other things in the basement that you want to take?" Sang Luo asked.
Quan Jin shook his head. "Most of them are just little trinkets I collected in the past, which are of no use now. Some of them can be sold for some money, which can be given to beastmen in need."
"Yes, that's what I was thinking too."
Rather than letting those things fall into the hands of bandits and thieves, it would be better to sell them and donate the money.
Sang Luo put the things in the basement into her space.
The dim basement seemed even emptier. The two could only hear each other's breathing. Other than that, there was no one and no sound.
No outsiders would come to disturb them.
They could do anything they wanted.
Quan Jin hugged Sang Luo from behind, his thin lips caressing her ear, his voice low and mellow like fine wine, "…Are you pregnant yet?"
"No." Her appetite hadn't changed much these days.
Sang Luo smelled the faint intoxicating fragrance emanating from him, hooking her soul and tempting her to sink into it.
The man was in heat.
Sang Luo turned to look at him, her eyes seductive, her crimson lips slightly parted. "I haven't seen your beast form in a long time."
Quan Jin stared at her intensely, his Adam's apple bobbing. "I'm… a little different from before now… It's not very good looking."
"I still want to see it." Sang Luo's hand restlessly reached into his clothes, touching his chest.
Her fingertips teased him.
He groaned, his handsome and exquisite face flushed even more, and an intoxicating fragrance wafted out.
The desire in his eyes almost drowned her.
Slowly, a several-meter-long snake tail materialized behind him, but it was translucent. Only bones could be seen, and the bones were covered with a layer of faint black mist, condensing into a phantom…
So this was his true form now?
Sang Luo's eyes slowly turned sour, and tears slid down her cheeks. His body had been burned, leaving only the soul bone—this skeleton was his true body now.
Quan Jin cupped Sang Luo's face in his hands, lowered his head, and slowly kissed away the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"Am I ugly?"
"No, you're not."
"Are you scared?"
"I'm not."
Quan Jin kissed her rosy and soft lips, turned over, and pressed her down. Almost at the same time, a layer of soft, cloud-like bedding spread behind her—
One day, two days, three days…
The storm stopped.
Sang Luo's face was still flushed, and her hair was wet. Quan Jin hugged her tightly, gently pecking at her red and full lips, his handsome face with a satisfied smile.
"Are you happy being with me?"
"Yes." Sang Luo shyly and happily buried her head in his chest, hugging his firm waist.
It was quiet and comfortable, unlike the other beastmen who tormented people. She liked being with him like this…
The two hugged for a long time, quietly waiting for the afterglow to slowly dissipate.
Quan Jin stroked her hair. "The snakeskin is back. Do you want to leave?"
Sang Luo paused. "Duo Tu is now the Beast King of the Allans Empire."
"Yes, I know."
"He was the one who assassinated you back then. You, aren't you going to take revenge on him?"
Quan Jin's voice was low and hoarse. "Do you want me to take revenge? Then he won't live."
"…It's your business. He owes you, it has nothing to do with me."
"It doesn't matter anymore." His tone was indifferent.
Duo Tu killed Caesar back then.
But in Quan Jin's eyes now, that matter was insignificant. He could kill Duo Tu, it was as simple as crushing an ant to him, but whether to kill him or not made no difference to Quan Jin, just one more life in his hands.
"He is the father beast of that little lion. You probably don't want that child to lose his biological father beast." Quan Jin revealed the truth in one sentence.
Sang Luo's throat constricted. Indeed, her excuse to bring him to the West Continent was also to see if Quan Jin still harbored murderous intentions towards Duo Tu.
She no longer had any feelings for Duo Tu, but she didn't want the little lion to lose his father beast.
The little lion valued its father king the most.
"Don't worry, with this child around, I won't touch him." If he really wanted to kill Duo Tu, he would have done it the moment he regained his memory.
Quan Jin looked at the woman in his arms.
His only regret was that
he had been away for too long.
Having received her wholehearted attention, he was always unwilling to settle for a corner.
… …
Pinxian Zhai.
The lively little restaurant was packed, and many beastmen's eyes turned to the window seat.
Handsome male and beautiful female.
It was such a feast for the eyes.
A young and vigorous male beast, holding wine, wanted to go over and chat up the beautiful little female.
The man in black glanced over indifferently.
The beastman was so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, spilling the wine glass in his hand, and ran away with a gray face.
The man's aura was deep and restrained, making people fearful, and no one dared to come over to chat him up.
"Two guests, the dishes are here."
A delicate, tall, and thin deer clan youth brought the wine and dishes.
I don't know if this chapter can be posted tonight…
Alas, I really am… bones… snake tails… fun… but I can't write it…
There will be another update tonight～
