Ye Ming concealed the fabric in his hands in the shadows of the sofa, then walked over to the delivery hatch and took the meal. "Thank you, Lanlan."
Shi Lan looked at his slightly red face, still not understanding. Her mind wasn’t on that, however. She glanced over his clothes, her gaze unable to help but drift a little lower. free𝑤ebnovel.com
’So... does Ye Ming really not wear underwear?’
However, the outfit he was wearing wasn’t a tight-fitting Combat Suit. It looked a bit like the attire of a Western prince. A belt cinched his waist, and the garment extended down past his crotch, so nothing looked out of place.
Afraid Ye Ming would notice what she was looking at, Shi Lan quickly reined in her unseemly thoughts.
’Oh, whatever. As long as he doesn’t run around naked in front of me, it’s fine.’
With that thought, she turned and headed to Prison Cell Five.
Ye Ming watched her retreating back and secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
’Good, Lanlan didn’t find out.’
’Luckily, after two years, I haven’t forgotten my needlework. Underwear is easy, but clothes are a bit more complicated.’
’But there isn’t much time. I need to hurry up and finish.’
Outside Prison Cell Five, Shi Lan began Yan Huoshui’s treatment as usual.
Today’s session also lasted for about twenty minutes. Just like yesterday, his collapse value decreased by another 6%, bringing it down to 54%. This meant he could now take human form.
After what happened with Ye Ming, Shi Lan no longer rushed them to transform. As long as there was nothing physically wrong with them, it was fine. Perhaps it was a personal preference, and they were more comfortable in their beast forms for now.
But she didn’t need to ask. The moment Yan Huoshui felt the sensation of confinement leave his body, he transformed.
’To be honest, I’ve always hated being stuck in this prison in my beast form.’
’Most of the time it was bearable, but whenever it was time to eat or do anything, it made me feel like I had truly become useless.’
’Now, I can finally return to my human form.’
A flicker in Yan Huoshui’s eyes, and his body changed in an instant.
His tall, slender figure, even seen just from the back, was enough to invite curiosity. He quickly turned to face Shi Lan, revealing a sculpted face that looked as if it were carved by the gods.
His face was sharply defined, lacking the softness of Ye Ming’s, and the contours of his jawline were clearly visible.
Above were lips as red and lush as rose petals, full at the corners and with a shallow, sensual dip in the center. He had a defined philtrum leading up to a pair of deep, passionate, fox-like eyes. In the center of his forehead rested a red beauty mark, like one a god might possess.
Yan Huoshui’s appearance was like a sudden burst of flame, creating a powerful impact. However, it was slightly different from the bewitching, fey look she had expected from a fox spirit.
His appearance felt less enchanting and more piercingly sharp, like a ferocious beast filled with hostile energy. His prominent brow bones, a red wolf-cut hairstyle, and his tall, slender frame all made him seem capable of delivering a fatal blow at any moment.
A phrase surfaced in Shi Lan’s mind—’Charming and dangerous.’
’This is the first time I’ve ever felt it so clearly from a person, yet I can’t look away.’
She stared, dazed, at the beauty mark between his brows, marveling at the Creator’s finishing touch.
’A red mark for a Red Fox. It’s a perfect match.’
Yan Huoshui watched the captivated amazement in Shi Lan’s eyes with satisfaction. His blood-red lips curved into a gorgeous arc. "Lanlan, what are you thinking about?"
Shi Lan snapped back to her senses at the sound of his voice.
’You can’t blame me for acting like I’ve never seen the world. Only when you’re actually around these people can you appreciate the sheer visual feast.’
He Hanshi was like cold, flawless snow. Mu Tangfeng was like the scorching fire of summer. Ye Ming was like a mysterious light in the dark of night, beckoning you to explore. And Yan Huoshui... he was a bewitching demon, dangerous in his allure.
Each had their own style, and each was handsome in his own unique way.
Shi Lan quickly composed herself, cleared her mind of her messy thoughts, and let her gaze drift to the side. She feigned a serious expression. "Nothing."
"Oh? Then what does Lanlan think of my human form? Are you satisfied?"
Yan Huoshui continued to ask, his eyes full of mirth. A flash of softness in their depths dispelled the sharp impact of his features.
Since Yan Huoshui was openly letting her look her fill, Shi Lan took the initiative and took a few more glances. He was indeed very handsome.
She especially liked the red mark on his forehead; it miraculously blended danger and sanctity.
She smiled. "Lord Yan is very good-looking. Your appearance must be very popular."
The smile on Yan Huoshui’s lips deepened. Although he wasn’t satisfied with that answer, he didn’t press her further.
’It wouldn’t be good to scare Lanlan away.’ freewebnøvel.com
He only said, "Thank you for the compliment, Lanlan."
Shi Lan felt a little dazed again. She still wasn’t used to such an impactful face, so she turned her head away. "Well, that’s all for today’s treatment. We’ll continue tomorrow."
"Alright."
Yan Huoshui replied slowly, his deep, husky voice laced with amusement.
Seeing this, Shi Lan made a quick exit.
As she left, she couldn’t help but glance into each prison cell.
Jiang Xia was playing with his ball of yarn again. When he saw her pass by, he immediately hid the toy and, feigning composure, gave his tail a little flick in her direction.
’So cute!’
The light was on in Ye Ming’s room. He was sitting in a corner of the sofa, his head bowed in concentration over something, with only the emerald on his ear glinting in the light.
He Hanshi seemed to have just finished working out and showering. He was drying his hair with a towel, and beads of water on his short silver hair trickled down his neck, disappearing beneath the skin exposed by his slightly open collar, leaving only a damp trail on his collarbone. It was a very alluring sight.
Shi Lan’s steps faltered for a moment, and she looked away just as he turned his head.
He Hanshi’s hand, which had been buttoning his collar, paused for a moment. He slowly drew back his gaze, and the corner of his mouth lifted into a smile.
Shi Lan didn’t know that whenever she appeared, the eyes of the prisoners would immediately fall on her.
Nor did she know that her lingering glances were so easily seen through.
Still oblivious, she now looked toward Mu Tangfeng. He had changed into the new clothes she had just bought for him: the dark red trench coat and a pair of perfectly tailored trousers that accentuated his long legs. At that moment, he was twisting and turning in front of a mirror, a happy smile on his face. He seemed to really like the outfit.
’It really suits him.’
Although orange hair with red clothes was a bit of a strange combination, his skin was very fair and he was handsome. He looked like a precious young master, a dazzling pearl destined to stand out in any crowd.
Shi Lan nodded to herself. Just as she was about to look away and leave, he called out to her.
"Lanlan, come here."
She paused, confused, and looked at him, not understanding. "What is it?"
Mu Tangfeng turned around. Facing him, Shi Lan noticed that under his open coat, he was wearing a tight-fitting black vest that highlighted his broad shoulders and narrow waist. Tucked into the pocket near his collar were a few feathers—likely his own—with orange tips, like exquisite ornaments. The whole look was even more coordinated and refined.
"So? What do you think?"
He asked, spreading his arms slightly.
Seeing his posture and remembering his personality, Shi Lan immediately understood what he wanted and unleashed a barrage of compliments.
"Wow, this outfit suits you so perfectly, Lord Mu!"
"It’s so beautiful."
"And it’s the icing on the cake with you wearing it, Lord Mu."
...
She showered him with several unique compliments. If Mu Tangfeng were in his beast form right now, he probably wouldn’t have been able to stop his little bird tail from sticking straight up in the air.
But as it was, even though he was feigning modesty, he couldn’t hide the smile at the corners of his lips.
Finally, after Shi Lan had praised him so much his ears turned a little red, he waved a hand dismissively. "Of course. This young master has always had excellent taste."
Shi Lan continued to play along, nodding. "Yes, yes."
Seeing this, Mu Tangfeng curled his lip smugly, and, completely satisfied, let Shi Lan go.
