Chapter 1053: Chapter 767: Eagle: Deep Love 100!_3

Lu Xiao didn’t say anything, he just tightened his arms around her.

After a moment of quiet, his fingers gently lifted her chin, his gaze falling on the marks on her neck.

Those bluish-purple bruises had faded a lot, but you could still see them.

"Does it still hurt?" His voice was a little hoarse.

Shen Tang touched her neck and shook her head. "It stopped hurting long ago. I have a Healing Ability, did you forget?"

Of course Lu Xiao hadn’t forgotten.

But he also knew there were some wounds the Healing Ability couldn’t erase.

His fingertips slid down along her cheek and fell onto her cracked lips, gently rubbing once.

"These past few days... you haven’t really eaten properly."

Shen Tang blinked guiltily. "...I forgot."

Lu Xiao let out a helpless sigh.

Shen Tang hurriedly changed the subject. "Are you hungry? I’ve got food!"

She fumbled around in the Space and pulled out the System reward, an Advanced Survival Resource Pack. When she opened it, her eyes lit up.

It was packed full of all sorts of things—clean water, fresh Beast meat, vegetables and fruits, sealed cooked dishes, and even several cans of hot soup.

"Wow..." Shen Tang cradled a can of soup, touched the side of the can—it was still warm. "The System is pretty generous this time."

She opened the lid, and a rich aroma instantly spread, making her stomach growl loudly.

Shen Tang’s face flushed red. She snuck a glance at Lu Xiao.

Lu Xiao’s lips curved slightly. He took the can of soup, warmed it further with his superpower, and brought it to her lips.

"Drink some soup first."

Shen Tang held the can and took a sip. The warm broth slid down her throat, her stomach turning cozy and warm, so comfortable she narrowed her eyes.

"You drink too." She pushed the can toward him.

Lu Xiao didn’t refuse. He drank a mouthful straight from her hands.

The two of them just took turns, one sip then the other, and finished the can of soup. Then they took out some cooked food and fruits, sitting in the cave and eating at a slow, leisurely pace.

Sunlight slanted in through the cave entrance, falling at their feet.

Shen Tang was chewing on a piece of fruit when she suddenly turned her head to look at Lu Xiao.

"What is it?" he asked.

Shen Tang tilted her head and sized him up for quite a while, then suddenly said, "You seem... stronger."

Lu Xiao paused for a moment, then smiled. "You noticed."

He put down the food in his hand, spread his palm, and a wisp of bluish-green airflow spiraled upward, gathered without dispersing. It was thicker and more solid than before, carrying an extreme, steady pressure.

"Breaking Yuan Rank," Lu Xiao said lightly. "All thanks to Return Nest."

Shen Tang’s eyes widened.

The System popped up right on cue, its voice tinged with admiration: [The fact that he survived Return Nest at all is already a miracle. This thing’s mortality rate is close to one hundred percent. Of all the Beastmen who have ever triggered Return Nest, not a single one has managed to endure it.]

[But he made it through.]
