Chapter 791 - 645: Night, A Gift
Jin naturally wouldn’t know about these things, nor did he bother to care about those small fries. They were inconsequential; if they dared to come, they shouldn’t expect to leave with their lives.
He looked at Shen Tang with a tone of apology, "Making you stay here with me, it’s a grievance for you."
She was so young and beautiful, and such a capable female. Even the Young Master of the Moon Clan was particularly enamored with her. If not for following him, she could have lived a comfortable and privileged life.
A female as remarkable as her should be enjoying the best care in the Purification Zone, admired by all the beasts, rather than following him to this Wasteland Zone, living in such a crude place, and even enduring the harassment of those riffraff.
But Shen Tang didn’t mind. She raised her small face to look at him, her bright and charming eyes reflected his image, smiling tenderly and sweetly, "As long as I’m by your side, it’s enough."
Jin’s heart was filled to the brim, a sense of grounded satisfaction of having a home surged forth, something he dared not imagine in the past.
Although he wasn’t an orphan without parents, his parents... never mind, it’s best not to mention those past events.
That place only left him with humiliation, hatred, and boundless despair.
Only when facing the female in front of him who was entirely focused on him did his heart feel that kind of soft and hot sensation, like melting into a pool of water.
She gave him a more intense, more sincere, and omnipresent love.
Jin wrapped his arm around Shen Tang’s waist, tightening it a bit more, pulling her into his arms, unable to resist leaning down and capturing her lips.
Soft, sweet, irresistibly delicious, savoring the taste.
Shen Tang’s eyelashes quivered slightly, then she closed her eyes, her arms like soft vines curling around his neck, drowning in this passionate yet gentle kiss.
The two kissed for a long time before Jin reluctantly let her go.
He lowered his eyes to look at Shen Tang, his slender fingers, slightly calloused, gently brushed over her moist and rosy lips, his gaze gradually clearing, inwardly vowing: he absolutely won’t let her stay in such a place with him!
Any male with responsibility wouldn’t let his female suffer such grievances.
Once he gets what he needs and cures his illness, he’ll go and kill that old guy and take the Hunting Leopard Clan into his hands!
The sun dipped in the west, the sky darkening, casting long, dim shadows between the houses.
Jin and Shen Tang had already tidied up the furniture and living supplies they bought, the house was clean, finally fit for living.
When dinner was nearly finished, Jin said to Shen Tang, "Everything is pretty much set up here. In a couple of days, I need to go out for a bit."
"Where are you going?" Shen Tang put down her chopsticks, looking at him with some concern.
Jin succinctly replied, "For treatment."
Shen Tang’s heart tightened, is it to cure his madness?
She had tried to treat Jin’s illness and naturally knew how tricky it was. Although on the surface it looked similar to the mental mania of ordinary beastmen, the root cause was completely different.
She had done her best and could only slightly stabilize Jin’s mental state. Truly wanting to cure the ailment was beyond her capabilities.
Has he found a way to cure it?
That would be wonderful.
Shen Tang wanted to inquire further but could tell Jin didn’t want to say much.
After all, it was his personal matter, a secret that brought him shame, the reason he suffered those unbearable past experiences, perhaps containing some difficult-to-discuss hidden truths.
So Shen Tang did not wish to uncover his scars and stopped pursuing, simply nodding and saying, "That’s great, but you must ensure your safety and come back soon."
Jin let out a soft "Hmm," looking at the female before him, hiding a slight unease and heaviness within his heart, his gaze tender, "Once I’ve finished my business, I’ll come back as soon as possible."
He didn’t specify when he’d return; likely this matter wasn’t simple, requiring quite some time.
Then, the memory crystal she wanted to give him...
Shen Tang thought for a moment, seeming a bit hesitant, put down her chopsticks and softly called him, "Jin."
"I’m here."
"I... tonight, I have a gift I want to give you. Could you come to my room?"
Shen Tang looked at him with affectionate eyes, then slightly lowered her head, her cheeks flushing red, her voice lowered as well, carrying a faint unease and shyness.
Jin’s gaze trembled, his Adam’s apple rolled, and his ear tips turned red.
She...
Could it be, she wants to...
Seeing the man silent, Shen Tang felt a tinge of unease rising in her heart. She looked up at him again and softly called out, "Jin?"
The man slightly turned his gaze away, as if hiding something, his voice also becoming a bit hoarse, "You... really made up your mind?"
Shen Tang nodded seriously, "I’ve made up my mind, but I don’t know if you want it or not."
All these days she’s been entangled whether to give Jin the memory of Xiao Jin. Even though she could almost be certain the two were the same person, in Jin’s memory, he was inherently a complete and independent individual. Why should he accept the memory of another "outsider"?
