Seeing Jiang Xinli furrowing her brow as she stared out the floor-to-ceiling window, Hua Xi called out softly, "Female Master?"
"Hm?" Jiang Xinli pulled back from her thoughts and gave a shy smile. "Can you stand up?"
Hua Xi was covered in wounds right now. If she were to straddle him while he was half-kneeling, it would only make him more uncomfortable.
"Female Master, are you sure you don't need to rest for a bit?"
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Then... alright."
Hua Xi stood up. Just as he lowered his forehead, Jiang Xinli placed her hands on his shoulders, stood on her tiptoes, and kissed him.
The deep-soothing mode for their Spiritual Seas, activated by pressing their foreheads together, was still on cooldown. For now, she could only exploit a bug in her Dodder Flower Ability by using intimate contact.
The remaining three Beast Husbands watched the two of them kiss. Their eyes were unconsciously drawn to the scene before they uncomfortably looked away.
