Si Shuo struggled to stay conscious, listening to every single word he said.
She was from the modern world, so her views on love and marriage were different from the Beastmen's. One was about emotional connection, the other about survival.
But she had to admit, Ji Liang's words softened her heart a little.
She said weakly, "How do I know if you're telling the truth?"
Ji Liang chuckled. "The Beast Mark is proof of my sincerity, Little Shuoshuo. I won't touch you. Just let me in, okay?
I'll transfer some Spiritual Power to you to make you feel better. Toughing it out will harm your body."
"No! I can't open the door for you," Si Shuo said, biting down so hard on the handkerchief in her mouth that her gums started to bleed.
Ji Liang sighed softly. "Ah, Little Shuoshuo saw right through me again. Fine, I won't come in. Can I send you Spiritual Power through the door?"
As he spoke, a cool and gentle energy squeezed through the crack under the door and slowly enveloped Si Shuo.
