My lady, don't be angry. I'm letting you touch my big tail.

Joey was very troubled. She thought to herself, "If six of the flower dyes want to be hugged, and all the remaining limbs are found later, will there only be ten flower dyes wanting to be hugged?"

The system will be updated as needed.

“Once the severed limbs are all returned, these flower-dyed illusions will no longer exist.”

"Ah...that's true."

Joey knew that these flower-dyed illusions represented the flower-dyed aspects of each of her previous two lives.

But more importantly, it represents regret.

So Joey sighed.

"Since you're all from Hua Ran, I'll give each of you a hug, just one hug!"

As soon as Joey finished speaking, the six flower-dyed girls rushed over, eager to be the first to be hugged.

Daji Ran and Qinglou Ran bumped into others, saying they wanted to go first.

The wizard glared at them fiercely and said he would go first.

The slave was naturally ranked last, crying and saying that she was not qualified and unworthy.

Joey sighed again.

"Alright, alright, line up normally. Everyone give each other a hug. If you keep fooling around, I won't hug anyone. I'm going back to reality to hug Hua Ran in real life!"

Upon hearing this, the six flower-dyed girls quickly stood up straight.

Joey then went over and hugged each of them.

When they reached the last slave dyed, the slave dyed still tried to hide.

He said, "My lady... because you are going to the City of the Wrongfully Dead and will meet me again, I will not hold you now... I am truly, truly unworthy..."

"Hey, give me a hug, you've already hugged me..."

The slave pushed Joey, and Joey fell backward as if into an endless abyss.

In her daze, she was still muttering those words.

"Goodbye, there's still Hua Ran to see, but I'm not hugging you anymore!"

Then Joey felt her face being covered by a super thick, furry thing.

He even got slapped twice on the cheek.

"What are you talking about? Who are you trying to hug? Did those six sluts seduce you?"

Qiao Yi slowly opened her eyes. The system said, "Baby, it seems you've said everything you said to Ran in the secret realm. You'd better watch yourself."

Joey sat up abruptly.

Then she saw Hua Ran looking at her with a pair of alluring fox eyes and a jealous expression.

"You hugged them?"

"It's not what you think. Besides, they are also you..."

"I know, but! Humph!"

Hua Ran raised her hand and slapped it.

"I'll beat you to death! You filthy severed limbs carrying hallucinations, bah! I'm still alive, I don't need you to seduce my wife."

Qiao Yi quickly went over and hugged Hua Ran.

"Why don't you hit me, or hit yourself? It will hurt me."

The system's mouth opened slightly.

"Wow, Baozi, you've improved! You're taking the initiative now!"

"I'm telling the truth, don't bother me!"

After speaking in her mind, Qiao Yi hugged Hua Ran tightly, her arms wrapped around Hua Ran's waist.

This action made Hua Ran feel very safe, and her anger subsided by more than half.

But he stubbornly insisted, "Feeling sorry for them? Pleading for those six little vixens?"

"No, it's because I feel sorry for you. Illusions don't feel pain, but you, who have a physical form, do feel pain."

As she said this, Qiao Yi grabbed Hua Ran's arm, lifted his sleeve, and kissed his fair arm.

Ah~ the lotus fragrance is even stronger now.

I don't know if it's because the severed limb came back.

After his remains are returned, will he smell even better, so that you can smell him from several meters away, and then attract other women to stop and admire him?

Thinking about this made Qiao Yi feel uncomfortable, and her mouth felt a little sore.

Is this what they call jealousy?!

"Ranran, let me ask you, is the fragrance of your lotus blossoms perceptible to everyone?"

"Of course not... Oh dear, my wife, what are you doing? I'm the fox, why are you sniffing my neck like that... It tickles, don't do that..."

Qiao Yi took a deep breath and then kissed Hua Ran's neck deeply.

"Hmm... My wife, why are you suddenly acting like this? Do you think I'll forgive you just because of this...?"

Hua Ran said this, but without any imposing manner.

Instead, he turned around and hugged Joey.

Meanwhile, on the other side, in a dimly lit bedroom.

A woman with silver hair is getting dressed, while a man on the bed is crying with his body exposed.

The woman picked up the clothes scattered on the ground and covered the man with them.

The man then curled up his bruised arm.

His white fox ears and his entire body were trembling incessantly.

The torment I suffered last night kept replaying in my mind.

Although he has no physical form, he can still feel pain.

So much so that last night when he was in bed with his wife, she didn't care about him at all, and even pulled his hair and slammed his head against the bed.

That kind of brutality was something he didn't usually exhibit.

Rather, it was only now that the white-haired fox had seen the woman's ruthless side.

"Sleep well. Last night was to punish you for losing an important limb. I took the limb for you. If it weren't for you, why would I, a whole body, need that?"

"You shouldn't stay by my side for now. You'll only be a hindrance. Think it over carefully."

The white fox pulled its clothes up to cover its head.

His eyes were brimming with tears.

This isn't the wife he wanted...

After losing a leg, he returned and knelt at the door, slowly inching his way to the woman.

He apologized, feeling guilty.

But he was also grateful to his wife for saving him.

But the woman grabbed him by the collar and threw him onto the bed.

She pinched her chin and said, "Do you know how important amputations are? If something happens to you, nothing can happen to your amputations. Every amputation is a labor of love for me! Do you know how many centuries I've spent on just one severed leg?!"

Let's recall Joey's behavior towards Hua Ran.

Either his eyes were smiling, or he reached out to touch her head.

They even carefully held it in their arms.

But he had never experienced any of these things.

He wasn't even allowed to call her "wife mistress".

Suddenly, the woman pulled away the clothes covering his face.

The man was in pain all over his body. He trembled with fear and could no longer hold back his tears.

"Owner……"

"You stay here and don't go out. I still have Hua Ran's heart in my hands. It's the most important thing, and I'll guard it myself. I don't want you to hold me back anymore."

After saying that, the woman touched the man's face.

It was very gentle, with soft movements, but the white fox seemed to be holding its breath.

There was nothing in his eyes but fear.

"Be good, do whatever I tell you to do."

After speaking, the woman left the dimly lit room.

After a while, the white fox dragged its bluish-purple feet and swollen, red legs off the bed.

His whole body was in pain and soreness, but what hurt him even more was his heart.

After meeting Qiao Yi and Hua Ran, he finally understood what love was and what it meant to not love.

The white fox slowly slid down the door panel.

Finally, she couldn't hold back any longer and hugged her knees, crying softly.

"I want to leave here..."

"If you don't love me... why did you create me with your severed limbs?"
