Chapter 200: Heart-to-Heart Communication

The two walked from the master bedroom to outside the main gate.

The three‑story white‑walled, blue‑tiled building, after Lin Manzhi led Mo Lie through it once, had its layout and appearance fully recorded in Mo Lie's mind.

When they stepped out of the gate, the view opened up: in front of the house lay a vast expanse of flat, four‑grid fields; ahead was a river, and where the river passed was a stretch of verdant grassland, as wide as a great lake; at the river's end rose a series of small, staggered mountains.

Beyond that was a void, like a small world.

The fields were planted with Holy Maiden Fruit and Concentrated Spirit Dew, which he knew well; in several plots the Holy Maiden Fruit were sprouting rapidly, swish‑swish as they grew.

"How is it? Isn't it amazing?"

Lin Manzhi's voice was light and carefree, with no guard at all: "You should be able to guess where this is, right?"

Her expression was gentle and serene, as if she were speaking of something ordinary.

In that instant, Mo Lie felt as though he had fallen into an enclosed space, his five senses seemingly sealed off.

In his view, only Lin Manzhi's figure stood before him.

Her mysterious, clear black eyes met his, and she said, "This is my space."

Lin Manzhi had thought it over carefully.

Now she is only attracted to Mo Lie, and he is her sole Beast Husband; if their relationship remains stable, she has no desire to accommodate another male beast, so she wants to lock herself with Mo Lie, preferably in a way that they never part.

Therefore, she plans to tell Mo Lie about her space.

She will bring Mo Lie over and set him as a guest first; then, if a crisis like the last one arises, she can slip into the space herself and later invite Mo Lie into her space at home.

From then on, she won't have to fear what the Thunder Lord might be doing behind the scenes, and when misfortune strikes, she'll have an extra layer of absolute safety.

After all, the space is a small farm; if there are too many enemies, she and Mo Lie can hide inside it, where they have food and drink, and even if they can't win, they can wear out the foes outside.

Lin Manzhi: "The fields ahead can accelerate the growth of vegetables and fruits; the food we eat is all grown here. Behind them are the dwellings. I haven't yet visited the other grassland and the mountains over there; they could raise grazing prey and plant fruit trees, among other things."

She added with some regret, "Unfortunately, the river ahead only benefits plants; we've been drinking its water, but it has no effect on our bodies at all."

Lin Manzhi smiled, looking at Mo Lie with clear black eyes: "It's basically a small farm; you could say this is my true ability."

In Beastfolk terms, the space is indeed equivalent to an ability.

She thought for a moment, then added, "I've already registered you in my space through the house; from now on, wherever we are, I can invite you here at any time."

It's convenient: Mo Lie's consciousness will receive her invitation, and as soon as he agrees, he can be pulled into the space.

Mo Lie had not spoken since earlier.

His chest rose and fell noticeably, and his deep‑blue eyes burned like a volcano about to erupt molten lava.

Regarding Ability Female, in the Beastfolk ancient texts he perused, only the first Great Witch a thousand years ago was an Ability Female, and none appeared thereafter.

It is a powerful entity capable of reshaping the Beastfolk continent.

Earlier, Mo Lie had speculated that Lin Manzhi possessed a wood‑type ability like the first Great Witch; she neither confirmed nor denied it, and he never expected that now, the Little Female would voluntarily come clean.

Mo Lie's breathing faltered, and the heat in his eyes could not be concealed, filled with deep longing.

His fingers tightened slightly, gripping Lin Manzhi's hand firmly, their palms hot against each other.

He lowered his gaze at Lin Manzhi, suppressing the urge to kiss her, and, seeking a confirming answer, asked softly, "Why did you reveal such an important secret to me without reservation, even bringing me into your space, Zhi Zhi?"

This is a safe place one can enter when danger arises, a small world with abundant food.

It is a place she dominates; as long as she wishes, no one can take her out of it.

Yet she allows herself to enter so easily.

Mo Lie heard his own eardrums thump with pounding heartbeats; he had never felt so eager for an answer.

Lin Manzhi had brought everyone in, showing no intention of hiding anything from Mo Lie, and sensed the male beast's hopeful intent.

She swayed the hands they held, stretching the final syllable, and said cheerfully, "Because... you are my Beast Husband, I like you, especially, especially a lot."

The Little Female expressed love for the first time; Mo Lie's breathing paused, his mind went blank, and his heart seemed to explode with fireworks.

Brilliant, radiant.

He heard his own rapid heartbeat, like the most beautiful soundtrack, his mouth corners involuntarily lifting, and he suddenly leaned forward, unannounced, closing in on Lin Manzhi.

Lin Manzhi blinked, unmoving.

The distance between them was close enough that she could see his distinct long eyelashes, the dazzling light in his enchanting blue eyes, his breath's warmth brushing her lips, and it felt as if any spoken word would cause their lips to meet.

Indeed, a faint touch from Mo Lie brushed her lips, and his deep, pleasant voice said, "I love you most, Lin Manzhi; since you love me too, you can never leave me."

Lin Manzhi: "."

The next second, she was seized by his scorching kiss.

Lin Manzhi's eyelashes trembled, and the words she wanted to speak were silenced by his kiss.

She, breathless from the kiss, answered in her heart.

I won't leave; we are already married.

Just before she was about to suffocate, the kiss finally ended, and Lin Manzhi immediately stepped back from Mo Lie with a rapid thump, taking a deep, forceful breath.

The tall male beast before her wore a gentle smile; his long, fair fingers brushed the disheveled strands from her cheek, his blue eyes filled with familiar desire, appearing both dangerous and alluring.

She widened her jet‑black eyes, adopting a serious tone: "I haven't yet seen this grassland and mountains; I'm about to go check them out, so don't act recklessly."

Lin Manzhi, with a righteous expression, faced the upright figure and immediately headed toward the fields ahead.

Mo Lie curled his lips in a light smile, following Lin Manzhi at an unhurried pace, glanced at the distant green mountains, and asked with ease, "It's quite far from here to the mountains, isn't it?"

His stride was relaxed; as he walked, he casually rolled his shoulders, abundant energy circulating from his Spirit Core through his flesh, ready to Beast Transform at any moment according to his body's will.

Mo Lie's mouth twitched into a smile: "Zhi Zhi, have you thought of a way to get over there that saves both effort and time?"

Lin Manzhi halted: "Right, your kiss just now muddled me; I hadn't thought of it!"
