"Where does it hurt?"
"My stomach hurts."
Lan Cang couldn’t be bothered with anything else. He left Manla and the others behind and strode ho with powerful, urgent steps.
Two Beastn suddenly began sniffing the air excitedly. One of them was so thrilled that he transford into his beast form and let out a long howl at the sky.
Manla was already annoyed, and seeing this, she beca so enraged that she kicked him. "What is wrong with you two? You useless things! Get lost! Both of you, get lost!"
The Leopard Beast whimpered pitifully a few tis. He seed to have caught a lingering scent in the air—an incredibly sweet pheromone that drove a Male Beast to the brink of a crazed excitent. The females couldn’t sll it, but seeing that Manla was on the verge of exploding, he didn’t dare say another word and scurried away with his tail between his legs.
As soon as he got ho, Lan Cang’s eyes landed on a just-finished glass of juice on the guest room table. A bit of red liquid remained at the bottom.
He walked over, picked up the glass, and sniffed it. His expression changed slightly. "You drank this?"
"Mhm."
It was the juice Li Man had soone deliver this morning. She’d said it was freshly squeezed, tasted great, and wanted her to try it.
Sang Luo had been thirsty on her way out earlier, so she drank it. ’It really did taste pretty good,’ she thought.
"Ahem... It had Aphrodisiac Fruit in it." He gave a helpless smile. "No wonder you’re feeling unwell. Sweet Fruit is sothing females usually only drink when they’re preparing to mate. You haven’t entered your heat cycle yet, so drinking so much of it recklessly can, at best, cause your cycle to start early, and at worst, lead to physical discomfort. But it’s nothing too serious. Just drink so more Water and get so rest. The effects will wear off soon."
An incredibly sweet and rich scent filled the air, growing stronger with each passing mont, nearly causing the primal desires within a Beastman’s body to boil over...
Lan Cang had been so worried about her that he hadn’t noticed it before. Now that he had relaxed, he twitched his nose, and his breathing involuntarily deepened.
The scent was wafting from her body in waves.
A certain possibility occurred to him, and Lan Cang’s expression changed again. A mix of shock and joy on his face, he laid Sang Luo on the bed and reached to lift her skirt, but she quickly stopped him, her face flushed red. "Um, I think I’m in heat..."
’She didn’t know how to describe nstruation to a Beastman. The aning of ’being in heat’ should be pretty similar, right?’
’She hadn’t been well recently, and her period was late. She hadn’t expected the juice with the Aphrodisiac Fruit to take effect so quickly.’
Lan Cang was visibly thrilled and excited. He had thought she was infertile and wouldn’t have a heat cycle, so he never even considered it... From the looks of it, there was nothing wrong with Luoluo’s body. She was healthy!
"I’ll go get you so Water!" He was suddenly flustered, rushing out the door in a hurry.
Soon, Lan Cang returned with a bucket of Water from the river. Sang Luo didn’t let him help, washing her lower body herself and finding a few clean cloths in the house to use.
Perhaps it was the effect of the Aphrodisiac Fruit, but Sang Luo’s emotions were unstable all day. Especially at night, she tossed and turned, her thoughts a jumble and her heart in a flutter, feeling an agonizing desire to just pounce on a man and do the deed...
Lan Cang took a bath in the river before coming inside. He walked to the bedside and started taking off his shirt. Sang Luo forced herself to close her eyes and pretend to be asleep, but her senses were a hundred tis more sensitive than usual. The rustle of fabric, the cool, enticing scent of Water from the man’s body, and his uniquely strong male hormonal scent were enough to make her blush and her heart race. Her mouth was completely dry, and her mind was uncontrollably filled with certain images. Her body was even having a shaful physiological—reaction.
She couldn’t take it anymore and pounced, throwing him onto the bed.
Lan Cang, now pinned beneath her, hesitantly touched her waist.
Her body was unusually hot.
Sang Luo was lost in a haze of desire. She desperately wanted to be closer to him, even closer, to absorb the coolness from his body. Her clothes felt like a nuisance, so she lowered her head and focused on pulling at his.
"Luo... Luoluo, the effect of the fruit... it hasn’t worn off yet?" Lan Cang was so flustered he turned his face away in embarrassnt. He hadn’t even finished his sentence before he paused.
’He’d almost forgotten again that she was a healthy female. Once she entered her heat cycle, regardless of any fruit’s effects, she would have a primal urge to mate with a Male Beast. He didn’t know which race Sang Luo belonged to; so Beastman Clan heat cycles could last for two or three months, while the shortest were still several days long.’
Lan Cang’s Adam’s apple bobbed again and again. Aroused by her advances, he decided not to hold back any longer. He pressed his lips to hers, taking control.
After a long while, he finally released her. His voice was hoarse, his breathing unsteady. "...I’ll sleep outside."
’She’s still bleeding. We definitely can’t do... that.’
The house wasn’t very soundproof. Listening to the sotis soft, sotis heavy sounds from outside, Sang Luo’s face burned with sha, and she bit down on her blanket.
’Once this period is over, I will make him mine!’
「The next day.」
Lan Cang went out to hunt as usual, but he was even more diligent than before, working overti. He would often only co back in the middle of the night, just before dawn, to rest for a short while before leaving again before the sun was up.
Lan Cang knew he was just venting his energy. He’d been too restless these past few nights. The pheromones a female secretes during her heat are a fatal blow to a Male Beast. A Wolf Beast’s sense of sll was so sensitive that these few days had been sheer torture for both his body and mind. If he stayed by her side and couldn’t do anything, he would truly go insane.
The two of them endured this agonizing separation for a few days. Tonight, Lan Cang returned from his hunt a little earlier than usual. Sang Luo went up to him and gave him a cup of Water to drink. After he finished it, he realized sothing was different. His pupils contracted slightly, but before he could speak, she sealed his lips with her own.
Then, she wrapped her legs around his waist, her entire body clinging to his tall, sturdy fra like a dodder vine, their skin pressing tightly together.
Lan Cang’s face turned so red it looked like it might bleed. He held her waist with both hands, at a complete loss.
"I’m not bleeding anymore," she whispered against his ear, nibbling on its hot lobe.
Lan Cang’s eyes lit up, but he restrained himself from moving. "Are you... are you ready?"
"Mhm, I want you."
Lan Cang’s breathing instantly hitched. His Adam’s apple bobbed again and again, and his eyes darkened like an impending storm.
’Her constitution really was different from that of a true Beastman female. The Sweet Fruit’s effect was only temporary on them, but on her, it seed to linger indefinitely. Whenever she saw Lan Cang, she had an insane urge to press herself against him and do so unspeakable things. As ti went on, this impulse only grew stronger, no different from taking a potent aphrodisiac.’
’Looks like there’s no way around it. I have to find a man and... you know.’
’Might as well get it over with! Better to rip off the band-aid!’
’The love between a man and a woman is just a matter of mutual desire. There’s no need for all these complicated twists and turns.’
By midnight, she was weakly holding his broad, straight back as it rose and fell, their passion still not having subsided.
When Lan Cang was aroused, his ears would pop out. In her daze, Sang Luo felt sothing soft and furry. She gave it a subconscious squeeze. The man’s movents paused for a mont, then beca even more intense.
A long ti later, he lost control and bit down hard on her shoulder. A line of blood trickled from his teeth down her snowy skin...
A young man experiencing love for the first ti has no technique. A Beastman’s stamina is vigorous and difficult to endure.
Thankfully, he had fed her quite a few Beast Crystals in the past. Otherwise, after an entire night of non-stop lovemaking, she was afraid she really would have died of exhaustion—in bed.
Afterward, Lan Cang’s forehead was also covered in a fine sheen of sweat. He looked at Sang Luo, her clothes in disarray, sleeping soundly in his arms. A smile of pure bliss and satisfaction spread across his face. He kissed her again and again before carrying her to wash her body.
Sang Luo was too exhausted to move the entire ti, letting him scrub and handle her as he pleased.
In the morning, he kissed her ear, his deep, hoarse voice now holding an alluring maturity. "I’ve made breakfast. I’m going out to hunt, so rember to get up and eat."
She gave a lazy "mhm," her eyes still closed. She felt the man kiss her lips again and again before he reluctantly departed.
Sang Luo slept until noon. Only when soone knocked on the door and called out for her did she slowly get dressed and out of bed.
Surprisingly, her legs weren’t sore and her back didn’t ache as she’d expected. In fact, she felt incredibly refreshed and clear-headed.
Sang Luo stood before the mirror and took a look.
The woman in the mirror had dark hair and snowy skin. Her complexion was rosy, and she looked radiant, as if she had been thoroughly... nourished.
Suddenly, she sensed sothing, and her eyes lit up.
That thread of mysterious power inside her... it had grown! It had grown by a huge amount!
Before, the power had been like a thin, almost invisible spider’s thread. Now, it was nearly as thick as a rope—tough and strong.
’Could it be... that she was practicing the Taoist Skill of the Joyful Sect, the kind that specializes in absorbing Yang Qi???’
"Sang Luo, are you ho? The weather is great today, let’s go pick fruit together!"
The person outside called again. It was Duoji and the others.
Sang Luo picked up the bamboo basket from the corner and opened the door. "Coming."
