Marrying the Soft-hearted Villain

Ruan Qiuqiu sat up all the way and condensed several drops of healing water to feed the gray wolf. Then, she put on another layer of clothes and started to deal with the trifles of life: add firewood, clean, cook, take care of the wolf, wash animal skins, and working on making her weapon.

By the time Ruan Qiuqiu had finished doing all of this, not only had her physical strength plummeted, she felt mentally exhausted too.

Since she was trying to improve Mr. Gray Wolf’s physical condition, she planned on going out to hunt. In addition, she fed the wolf meat, but only allowed herself to eat soup mixed with tuber power.

Despite this, the amount of meat they had was being quickly used up. There was also a more urgent need for replenishing the supply of herbs.

After she had changed the medicine on Mr. Gray Wolf today, there were only one and half herbs left.

At most, this would only last two days.

Ruan Qiuqiu was about to become bald from worrying too much. Sitting on the side of the bed, she clutched the fur on Mr. Gray Wolf’s tail. With some bitterness seeping through her voice, she said, “Mr. Food Reserve, when will you get better?”

Ruan Qiuqiu listened to his shallow breathing and truly hoped that he would get better soon.

However, it felt as if the Heavens were against them. Day after day, the heavy snow continued to fall, and Mr. Gray Wolf’s fever didn’t break.

On the day the herbs were used up, the black spots, which seemed to be caused by fiend energy, rapidly spread over Mr. Gray Wolf.

Ruan Qiuqiu could only absorb more energy for the fiend core. While successfully suppressing the spread of the fiend energy, she broke through to level 1 and was now able to condense 30 droplets of weak healing water every day.

However, Ruan Qiuqiu couldn’t muster up any happiness. There was only enough spiritual energy left in the fiend core to help Mr. Gray Wolf suppress the fiend energy two more times. Not only had the herbs run out, there were only ten catties of dried meat left.

Although they were lucky in not being attacked again in the past two days, it felt as if the world had abandoned them. They were sealed inside the cave by the heavy snowfall.

Other than Mr. Gray Wolf, there was no one else. There wasn’t even a blade of grass.

While taking care of Mr. Food Reserve and cultivating, she would frequently talk to herself to alleviate her loneliness.

On the fourth night of the blizzard, Ruan Qiuqiu once again used the fiend core to help Mr. Gray Wolf restrain the spread of the fiend energy. Seeing that their food had dwindled to almost nothing, she grew restless.

In the past few days, she had finished making a spear using the sharpest part of the fiend that Mr. Gray Wolf had brought back, dug through the storage room, found some straw, weaved the straw into straw sandals, and used scraps from the animal skin to make the straw sandals into warm shoes.

She had also chosen a white animal skin and made it into a backpack.

In addition, Ruan Qiuqiu had used the bone knife to carve small wooden cups with lids from ordinary wood. Whenever she finished cultivating, she would condense droplets of healing water and store them in the wooden cups.

She tested out how long the healing effect would remain in the water. It was about a day.

She was doing all these things in preparation for going out tomorrow morning.

She also stopped restraining herself from eating meat. With her dieting improving a bit, her physical condition was much better. Even in the blizzard, she should have a certain amount of combat effectiveness.

“I’m going out tomorrow morning.” Ruan Qiuqiu sat down on the side of the stone bed, placed her hand on Mr. Gray Wolf’s dry and furry tail, and somewhat despondently said, “I don’t know if I’ll make it back here. If I come back late and the fiend energy is acting up again, drink the water I prepared.”
