truly speaking, it was caused by Demon Lord Arao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Ci had to admit Arao had some talents for causing trouble, leaving her with this problem of being cold despite her undying nature.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet throughout the years, she not only grew accustomed to having death accompany her but also grew used to being strong on her own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Despite her youthful appearance, no one in the Demon Clan dared disrespect her, let alone approach her casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If her chill affliction acted up, she never showed weakness in front of others, always transformed into her fox form, curled up, and found a hearth to warm herself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since her birth, she experienced countless pains and scars.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she couldn’t die, so she’d never sought shelter in anyone’s embrace.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, her current situation was quite extraordinary for Shu Ci.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The cool tails in his embrace gradually warmed up; the firewood under the old kang was still hot, the bedding cozy, and the furry tail under his hand felt exceptionally comfortable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Ci’s bone-chilling coldness gradually transformed into a lazy fatigue under the warmth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her eyelids grew heavy, and she contentedly squinted her eyes, with the tip of her tail peeking out from Baili An’s collar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gently teasing his chin, she spoke with full drowsiness: “If you keep being so obedient, I’ll be gentle when I eat you.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing her almost asleep yet still thinking about such matters was both amusing and infuriating.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Baili An revived, no longer having any sleepiness no matter how long he lay in bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, accompanying Shu Ci for another night’s rest, when her internal chill was suppressed, the heavy rain outside ceased, and dim light subtly seeped through the paper curtains.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thick clouds dispersed, and remnants on the crisp green leaves reflected the dawn, like scattered luminescence, utterly beautiful.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Outside the courtyard, faint chirping of chicks could be heard, unclear who was feeding them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sister Shu, are you awake? The annoying rain that lasted several days has finally stopped; it’s a sunny day today, and you can take out the damp bedding to dry. I found two racks for you to sun them on, take a look…”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The small door wasn’t locked, and Aunt Wu cheerily pushed the door open, coming across the sight of two disheveled individuals on the bed; her expression immediately froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The wooden racks in her hands scattered on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shu Ci was restless in her sleep at night, most likely due to the retreat of that chill.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Two tails and two bodies squeezed onto a small bed, with the kang burning underneath, bodies warmed up in the latter half of the night.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The bedding was half-kicked, hanging off the bed’s edge, slipping to the waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Revealing an impressive figure and a slender waist, snow-white soft skin wrapped around delicate bones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She lay sideways at the moment, tightly holding the youth on the bed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From this angle, Aunt Wu could see her soft waist deeply curved, forming a deadly tempting arc.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The youth on the bed had woken early, propped lazily against a soft pillow.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A hand lightly and naturally rested on the head of the woman he held, like caressing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His collar slightly opened, revealing under his shirt pale, slender muscles, his hand seemingly ready to pull up the kicked-off bedding.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Towards Aunt Wu, the uninvited guest, Baili An’s demeanor was calm, not like someone guilty of wrongdoing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He glanced at her lightly, then leisurely pulled up the bedding and covered Shu Ci’s exquisite figure.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He nodded briefly towards Aunt Wu, expressing thanks: “Much appreciated for Auntie’s kindness.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This posture seemed to have some flavor of husbandly protection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt Wu seemed as if she’d been struck still, eyes widened, staring at the bite mark on Baili An’s right cheek…\u003C\u002Fp>",964,"2026-06-06T15:17:07.391Z",1,"novelbin.me","4f341e9a35f1e4da278c761e53f7cd911e21b93208df12dd3119fd96725eac93","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-1262","journey-to-the-end-of-the-night-chapter-1261",1594,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fjourney-to-the-end-of-the-night-cover.jpg"]
