Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off novel Chapter 63

Chapter 63: Chapter 63: How on Earth Did She Hold On?

Mu Silin looked at the unconscious woman in his arms, his heart in his throat.

His eyes turned red with disbelief.

He had finally found her.

He pulled Shen Yue tightly into his embrace.

He felt her body heat and the beat of her heart. Only after holding her to his heart’s content did he slowly release her.

He looked at the wound on her shoulder and the bloodstains on her body.

His heart ached for her.

’Such a small, fragile female... How on earth did she manage to hold on?’

’She fell into such a deep abyss, and yet she’s still alive!’

’He’d thought that when he followed her into the closing chasm, he would find her immediately and protect her.’

’But he never expected the abyss below to be like an unimaginably vast maze.’

’Those who fell from above were scattered, landing in random locations.’

’After he landed, he could sense her presence and her location. She felt so close, yet he just couldn’t navigate the labyrinthine caves to reach her directly.’

’Thank heavens. God only knew how terrified he had been.’

’Terrified that she wouldn’t be able to hold on until he could rescue her.’

’But she did. She held on. She waited for him!’

Mu Silin felt as if he had recovered a lost treasure. He carefully scooped her up into his arms.

This was the moment he had dreamed of so many times—to be this close to her, face to face, feeling the warmth of her body.

He never thought the first time he held her would be under such dire circumstances.

Just then, he sensed movement from behind—something was in pursuit. His gaze darkened.

’He was going to see exactly what kind of beast had dared to hurt her.’

But when he saw the Lizardmen crawling toward them, he froze.

’These are... Mutated Beasts?’

’She’d been fighting Mutated Lizards for this long?’

’How in the world did she manage it?’

He looked at the puncture wound and claw marks on her shoulder. ’Were these from their claws?’

His heart sank, and a murderous aura emanated from him.

.....

Shen Yue woke up burning. She was hot and miserable, feeling as though a fire raged within her.

The fire made every bone in her body ache with an unbearable itch.

Her heart felt restless, as if ants were crawling over it.

She desperately wanted to rub against a log and sink her teeth into it.

She slowly opened her eyes. Her face, flushed and dazed from the heat, was alluringly beautiful.

The hot air she exhaled seemed capable of igniting the entire cave.

She looked dazedly at the man before her, who was cloaked in a black robe.

His well-defined features, his incomparably handsome face, that incredibly sharp, smooth jawline, and his thin, sexy lips.

His robes were slightly open at the chest, revealing firm, hard pectoral muscles.

’So handsome. So beautiful to look at!’

’Just looking at him felt like it could cool her down.’

’I really want to pounce on him.’

Her gaze met the man’s deep, dark green eyes. She licked her parched lips:

"It’s so hot... I feel awful!"

Mu Silin’s ears burned under her hazy gaze. His mouth went dry.

He tore his gaze away, unable to look at her.

’How could he not know how much she was suffering?’

The Mutated Lizardman’s poison was notoriously potent; it induced the most primal, beastly desires in its victims.

It started by making its victim dazed and listless, then sapped the strength from their limbs, and finally, it ignited a fire of lust within them.

Shen Yue was now consumed by this fire of lust. Only sexual union could serve as the antidote.

Otherwise, the fiery poison would attack her system. In mild cases, it would lead to permanent disability; in severe cases, it would be fatal.

But how could he dare take advantage of her vulnerability to "help" her with the antidote?

Shen Yue slowly sat up, asking in a daze:

"Who are you? Where am I?"

She remembered... falling into a chasm of immeasurable depth, being chased by Lizardmen, and she thought she’d been poisoned...

Mu Silin watched her, unsure of how to respond.

But after a moment’s thought, he said,
