Gentle Beast Chapter 28
Her mind echoed with that familiar sentence——
“《The Book of Songs》, said the nobleman Táo Táo, was harmony and happiness. Additionally, Táo Táo ans to speed up, isn’t Táo Táo quite a good na for you? Not all leopards run fast, the na suits you.”
. . .
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u was lifeless for half the day, not feeling so well, then incredulously she said, her tone trembling a little, “You. . .”
She looked up and seriously considered the person in front of her.
Humanoid facial features, strong lines, and the bridge of the nose was a little longer than average. The lips were very thin and the skin slightly dark.
When looking at him, she she finally at his eyes. . . they were exactly the sa as her Táo Táo.
But Táo Táo. . . was obviously a leopard cub!
Small body, short tail. So unlike this hulking body in front of her, blocking her entire sight.
She did not know whether it was the walking around just now, but her waist began to act up. She swallowed her saliva and asked:
“You, what are you talking about?”
Ryan did not answer her stupid question and looked at the hand she unconsciously wrapped around her middle. Bending down, one powerful arm crossed behind her legs and the other wound around her back. Without explanation, he carried her to bed.
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u’s whole body soared into the air and she startled, reflexively clinging to his shoulders, “Hey. . .”
He hadn’t answered her question yet?
“When did you wake up?” Ryan asked directly.
From this angle, Jǐ Xiǎo ??u was right in front of his face and her heart trembled. She hurried to shrink back but there were nowhere to go, “Just, just now. . .”
Ryan put her on the bed again and reached out to touch her forehead, as if he had done this a countless number of tis.
. . . No fever.
Ryan’s expression relaxed a little.
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u was unconscious for ten days. Her body temperature had turned bad several tis over those ten days, and early in the morning, it abruptly surged up in heat.
She had burned so hot, but hadn’t burned her brain.
Ryan’s hands hooked the edge of Jǐ Xiǎo ??u’s clothes, ready to lift them up.
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u grabbed his hand and stuttered, “What are you doing?”
Ryan: “Looking at the wound.”
“Answer my question first,” her black eyes stared at him, “Are you Táo Táo?”
“I am Ryan.” He said. Even now, he refused to acknowledge that stupid na of “Táo Táo”.
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u: “. . .”
Then, not knowing what to think, her complextion changed.
Ryan. . . Ryan, she had heard this na many tis.
It was no wonder Laurence inquired about the whereabouts of “Ryan” when they t; no wonder the two leopards caught her near the deer clan. . . the companion they were looking for had been by her side all along.
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u silently shrank back, then after a long ti, she made a noise: “Can you let
see your palm?”
Ryan looked at her, then extended his large hand and spread it before her.
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u gingerly lifted her gaze.
The beastn’s hands generally retained their race’s characteristics, often having long sharp claws making hunting easier for predators. Ryan was no different.
However, Jǐ Xiǎo ??u’s attention was not on any of this——
In the middle of his palm, there was a dark brown scar running across the entire hand.
The scar was ugly, long and deep.
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u suddenly sobbed. When she first t the little leopard, she saw that long scar on his paw pad when she was dealing with his wound. . . and it was the exact sa.
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u’s eyes were panicked, and she was a little overwheld.
What to do, he really was Táo Táo?
How did he suddenly get bigger? And beco humanoid?
He brought her here? How did they escape Laurence?
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u’s mind bubbled with question marks, wanting to speak. She saw Ryan get up and go to a
cupboard in the corner, taking out a small flat jar and walking back to the bedside.
Not giving her ti to react, he pulled her sweater up.
She didn’t have the ti to stop him and her belly touched cool air. She imdiately wrenched her clothes back down again, “You. . .”
Ryan held the jar in one hand and clutched her clothes with the other, pausing to explain: “Don’t move. I’m applying dicine.”
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u shook her head repeatedly. Not to ntion she still didn’t believe he was Táo Táo, but he was male, and she wasn’t going to let him look at her belly, ah.
“I’ll do it myself,” Jǐ Xiǎo ??u said quickly.
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u thought he would stop there, but who knew after a while he would actually say, “When I was injured, did you not wipe it?”
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u: “. . .”
He didn’t say it badly but Jǐ Xiǎo ??u rembered it all.
Now only did she give him dicine, but when he had a fever, she tried to asure his temperature through his anus. . .
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u was still wondering why he reacted so badly.
Now that she thought about it though. . . Ah, ah, ah, Jǐ Xiǎo ??u would like to bury her head in the ground. How could she do such a thing!
The girl on the bed was even more embarrassed and she raised her hands to cover her cheeks.
Her red ears were still exposed and she shyly bent down.
Ryan gazed at her for a mont then, in a calm voice, continued to say words that would make her even more ashad, “When you were asleep, I gave you dicine.”
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u: “. . .”
*
The following day, Jǐ Xiǎo ??u beca aware of where this was.
Outside the house were multiple Panthera beastn, leopards, cheetahs, panthers, snow leopards, etc. . . Without exception, they were all extrely tall, had long tails sweeping behind them, and had that peculiar aggressiveness natural to the carnivorous species.
Of course, there were also many different ways the beastn traversed the road. One jumped high, their figure disappearing agilely, and the others faced it with calm expressions.
There were very few females here. The entire day, Jǐ Xiǎo ??u had only seen a couple.
They were obviously different from the males, their height significantly shorter, but still much taller than Jǐ Xiǎo ??u.
Even in human shape, they also had a pair of semicircular ears atop their heads.
For the most part, they had ample figures and upright backs.
Curiously enough, the females here were few but each seed to be independent.
Were they not assigned to the male population?
Throughout the reindeer and elk villages, where there was a female, there was a male. . .
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u thought of the animal kingdoms from before. Leopards were solitary animals, only occasionally would the opposite sexes tolerate each other.
That was to say, the leopard had no 'spouse”?
No wonder Eric once said that in so races, a female had to bed with several males. . .
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u laid in the window crankily.
Her wound was still not healed and she could not stand very long, so she laid on the bed after a while.
There was a bear beastman treating Jǐ Xiǎo ??u’s wounds.
Of the carnivorous type, it was a panda, also known as the Iron Beast.
Before humans went extinct, pandas were the closest species to humans so their dical standards were high.
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u’s wound was stitched by a panda called Bethan.
He stretched out his pudgy arms and looked at the wound, coming to a conclusion, “The wound isn’t healing very well.”
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u’s body went stiff and rigid.
Then, Bethan asked, “Did you move around violently?”
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u thought and recounted honestly. Yesterday, she almost fell and accidentally pulled at the wound.
“If you don’t want to die, just sit in bed obediently.” Bethan said, the dark circles under his eyes drooping, “The last of the dicine should be running out. I made so more. Apply it three tis a day, once it’s finished, tell .”
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u nodded very obediently.
Bethan looked at the wound and was ready to leave. Jǐ Xiǎo ??u had continued to endure and endure, but she still couldn’t help but ask, “That. . . do you know where this is?”
This question, Jǐ Xiǎo ??u had always wanted to ask.
But when she looked at Ryan. . . it was hard to talk.
She felt uneasy at the thought of what she had done to him when he was still young.
Having the guts. . . that indescribable sha.
Bethan misunderstood what she ant: “Camuda Valley, Leopard Tribe.”
“No. . .” Jǐ Xiǎo ??u hurriedly waved her hand, discretely searching for her words, “How far from the east of Bornia?”
Bethan looked her in the eye and slowly spit out a few words, “From heaven to earth.”
After her left, Jǐ Xiǎo ??u spent a long ti sitting.
Heaven and earth?
In other words, one in the east and one in the west?
How could this be. . . She had hardly gotten halfway. She was close to reaching the east and finding her way ho.
But now, she had wasted all her effort and gotten even further from her goal. Jǐ Xiǎo ??u stared at the ground in a daze, her thoughts lancholy.
*
Ryan pushed in the door from outside and saw this scene.
The girl half lying on the bed, her eyes drooping and lips slightly pursed, her heavy expression, and he did not know what to think.
The wounds on the back of Ryan’s hands and his shoulders had increased, but he did not feel them. Sticking out his tongue, he licked away the blood and strode over to the bedside, his voice low, “Bethan ca?”
The shadow crossed over the top of her head and Jǐ Xiǎo ??u lifted to et his eyes, and she nodded, “Ah.”
Ryan asked, “What did he say?”
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u answered honestly, “He told
to rest well and not get down. He also sent more dicine and said to apply it three tis a day. . .” Her voice beca lower and lower as she spoke, reminiscing about yesterday’s scene, and her cheeks turned red. “Said that when it’s better, he’ll co take out the stitches.”
Ryan asked, “Have you put on today’s dicine?”
Jǐ Xiǎo ??u: “. . . no.”
Ryan hadn’t needed her response and he walked to the cupboard to get the jar. Walking back to the bed, he was going to give her the dicine.
“Ry, Ryan,” When his hand touched her clothes, Jǐ Xiǎo ??u struggled to call out his na.
She stared at his fingers, not yet accepting that the little leopard had beco a big leopard, and she was always cautious in front of him.
“Bethan said this was a leopard tribe, and that only they live here.” She had thought about this the entire afternoon and now summoned up the courage to say, “I am not your people. . .
I need to go back to mine. Once my injury is healed, can I leave?”
. . .
After Jǐ Xiǎo ??u said this, she didn’t get a response.
She raised her eyes, “Ry. . .”
“No,” Ryan pinched the jar in his hands, and his dark eyes were narrowed, interrupting her with an unpleasant tone.
