The thought had barely formed before Ren Qing crushed it.
He lowered his gaze, a bitter smile touching his lips.
'I'm a monster now.'
'I even killed a female.'
'How could someone like me ever be worthy of a female as wonderful as Su Yu?'
'As long as… she doesn't drive me away, letting me stay by her side to protect her will be enough.'
'I won't be greedy for anything more.'
"Yu Yu slept for so long. She must be hungry. I'll go roast some meat for her," Ren Qing said to Shi Wei and the others. He then turned and left the cave, leaving the space to them.
He was afraid that if he stayed, more uncontrollable, presumptuous thoughts would surface.
Shi Wei and the other two shared a tacit understanding and didn't stop him. Su Yu couldn't hear him anyway.
Shengqing held Su Yu as he sat on the soft, grassy nest. Still worried, he channeled his Healing Ability into her again, causing her face to emit a green glow.
