Bai Wanwan's legs felt like jelly, and she could barely keep her eyes open. She just mumbled an incoherent "Mmm."
Zhu Xiu's anger had long since faded. Seeing her so languid she couldn't open her eyes, he gently poked her over the heart. "I need to be in here. Always."
Bai Wanwan hummed again, murmuring, "You don't have to be afraid of the Dark Curse... I have... a way. It just... costs some Points."
With that said, she was simply too exhausted and fell completely unconscious.
Zhu Xiu stared at her beautiful, pale face.
Her voice was languid and soft. Although her words were muffled, he mostly understood what she meant.
'A way to break my Dark Curse?'
'Even if she does, it must come at a cost. Otherwise, Wanwan would have already done it for me.'
The forest wasn't safe at night.
He grabbed the nearby fine hemp skirt, pulled her into his embrace, and guided her slender arm through the sleeve opening.
