An Bei's body stiffened slightly. He didn't want Ruan Fu to see that somewhat terrifying wound, but he couldn't refuse her gaze. So, in the next second, those legs instantly transformed into a long, powerful snake tail.
Ruan Fu turned her head to look. The dark blue scales gleamed coldly in the dim light, but near the tip of the tail, there was an obvious scar. The blood had dried, but it was still a shocking sight.
Ruan Fu's pupils shrank slightly. Her fingertips touched the scar, her movements so gentle as if she were afraid of hurting him. Her voice was so low it was almost inaudible, but it carried deep heartache. "How could it be this severe..."
Seeing the self-blame in her eyes, An Bei reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace. Then, he changed the snake tail back into human form. There was only a small scar left on his right calf. His fingertips gently pinched Ruan Fu's chin, tilting her face up slightly to look at him.
