Chapter 789 - 643: The Mysterious Stranger
The sound of drizzling water stopped.
Jin walked out of the bathroom, toweling his hair, a towel loosely hung around his waist, barely covering the V-line of his muscles. With each step he took, the towel seemed as if it might slip off the next second!
His build was impeccable, broad shoulders, a narrow waist, long legs, eight-pack abs, and tan, wheat-colored skin that appeared even more deep and seductive under the light, much like a top male model. Just one more glance was enough to make one’s heart race with a blush!
Shen Tang felt a rush of heat flushing through her, her cheeks slightly burning, too embarrassed to look in that direction.
Yet, at this moment, a lazy voice from the man came to her ear, "Help me dry my hair?"
Jin was by the laundry counter, fiddling with a hairdryer, seemingly not knowing how to use it.
Shen Tang walked over to help him dry his hair.
He was very tall; Shen Tang, just over 1.7 meters, had to raise her arms to reach him.
Jin noticed her slightly awkward movements, the corners of his lips lifting slightly, before turning to face her, leaning back lightly against the counter, making it easier for her to move.
With this, Shen Tang was faced with his enlarged handsome face, making her heart race even faster.
This warm and familiar scene seemed to have played out countless times before, suddenly bringing back memories, causing her nose to tingle slightly.
Jin, smelling the fragrance coming from the female, also felt his thoughts start to wander.
His Adam’s apple bobbed slightly, then he suddenly reached out to hug her waist, pulling her down a bit, and tilted his head up to kiss her lips.
Just like the long and passionate kiss last night, the male seemed to always be a natural at this, as if realizing something, no longer as clumsy and awkward as the first time, probing to deepen the kiss.
Shen Tang’s face turned even redder, her heart pounding as if it might leap out!
Unfortunately, before the kiss could become entangled, the man suddenly let her go, uttering a light "sizzle," as if burned, "So hot."
Shen Tang quickly turned off the hairdryer, scolding lightly, "I’m drying your hair, stop moving~"
Jin looked at her moist rosy lips, still feeling itchy inside, but the kiss just now was enough for him to savor, so this time he behaved a bit better, allowing her to dry his hair.
Jin’s hair was on the hard side, even harder than the fur of his original form, and was a bit prickly when wet.
Shen Tang moved carefully and gently, softly smoothing his hair little by little, as if she had done this countless times.
Feeling the gentle stroking through his hair, Jin’s heart also lightly trembled, stirring up a softness.
For him in the past, this feeling was so foreign.
For him now, he slowly indulged in it, even unwilling to let it go.
Like a weed growing at the bottom of the Abyss, about to rot, accidentally noticed by a passing Goddess, who brought it out into a sunny world, turning its fate upside down, receiving care it never even dared to dream of before.
After being illuminated by light, how would one willingly return to darkness?
She was always filled with firm love and tenderness for him.
Jin also had doubts, knowing that there is no love without reason in this world, but he didn’t want to delve into the whys anymore, just wanting to enjoy this beautiful warmth.
Perhaps, she was truly a gift from heaven for him.
The night was deep, time to rest.
Jin pulled the curtains by the window, "There’s something I need to tell you."
"So mysterious?" Shen Tang laughed.
"Who knows, that wolf might be watching somewhere." Jin smiled playfully, "Let’s go, leave with me."
"Why? Didn’t Yue Lin promise to help you all secure identities?" Shen Tang was stunned.
Jin lightly scoffed, "Do you really think Yue Lin is so simple? He’s the Young Master of the Yue Family, he must have already investigated us thoroughly in secret, you..."
He glanced at Shen Tang, indeed capturing a fleeting trace of panic on her face.
Although slight, it was enough for him to be certain—her identity was definitely not simple.
"Staying by his side, sooner or later, everything will be uncovered."
If she wanted to hide something, it would eventually be exposed.
Jin shrugged, his tone casual, "That wolf isn’t simple, he kept me here, not just to stabilize you, but also afraid I’d escape... I guess he’s already sent word to that old thing at my place, it won’t be long before they come to catch me."
Shen Tang also fell silent.
She originally didn’t plan to go with Yue Lin, wanted to find other Beast Husbands, indeed there was no need to go to the Royal City.
She nodded, "Okay, I agree with you."
"Then tonight..." Shen Tang hesitated, should they sleep together or apart?
"You have a good rest," Jin offered, "I’ll take the side bedroom."
If they truly shared a bed, he wasn’t sure he could hold back.
In the dead of night.
Jin lay in bed, but couldn’t sleep.
He recalled when they reunited, Shen Tang’s worried look, the questions she asked him, what had happened during this time? How did he come back unharmed?
He was vague back then.
Actually, he managed to escape and didn’t lose control again because he met someone.
A mysterious person.
He remembered clearly what happened then.
Just as he was about to shake off Shou He and the rest’s pursuit, his power was completely out of control, black energy swirling around, almost going berserk again.
At that moment, the surrounding space suddenly changed, and the annoying clatter from behind seemed to vanish instantly.
He seemed to be pulled into another unknown space.
A figure appeared before him.
He was a Beastman of the Primordial Beast Tier, yet didn’t sense when this person appeared!
The other appeared silently, as if out of thin air.
That person was shrouded in a cloak, the face indistinguishable, holding a piece of something like a transparent Crystal Core, emitting a faint light, though it was incomplete, only a small portion.
Jin’s eyes were crimson, assuming a defensive stance, struggling to speak, "Who... are you?"
The person softly said, "Who I am isn’t important, but I can help you."
Then, the incomplete transparent Crystal Core in his palm turned into a stream of light, merging into Jin’s body.
The turbulent aura within Jin gradually calmed down.
He felt that external energy, familiar yet unfamiliar, like himself, yet unlike himself.
What was going on?
Unfortunately, that person didn’t provide an explanation.
His figure gradually faded with the space, leaving behind a few words:
"This thing can completely cure your illness, alas I could only sneak a part... The main body of the Crystal Core is hidden in the lab, once you obtain it, you can fully recover."
"You can become a normal person, live the life you’ve always dreamed of..."
"Go to the lab in the Royal City of the Hunting Leopard Clan, there, you will understand everything."
Jin didn’t know who this person was, or why he wanted to help him, but the steadily calming energy within told him it was likely true what was said.
As long as he went to the lab and got the Crystal Core, he could completely cure this disease!
Jin originally planned never to set foot in that place again, but now he had a plan, to go to the Royal City, to that mysterious lab.
He must get that thing!
It was precisely because of this that he, this beast liable to madness, finally resolved to be with Shen Tang.
Jin hoped with all his heart that once this illness was cured, he wouldn’t harm her.
He could live a normal life with her.
