The Beast King's Little Wife

"Master, you have a lot of time now?"

"What do you know? A body like this is truly a once-in-a-century phenomenon. The needles I inserted into her acupoints were automatically ejected. Do you know what that means?"

Huo Yinya shook his head, "I don't understand." This straightforward answer made Mo Xiezi so angry that he kept hitting Huo Yinya on the forehead.

"How could you be so dull-witted? I always thought you had talent. Now it seems you're nothing special."

Huo Yinya really wanted to correct her. "Master, you didn't say that before. Now you look down on me as soon as you see someone else. No wonder some people say a woman's heart is like a needle at the bottom of the sea, changing in an instant. Indeed, women and petty people are the only ones you can't deal with."

"This body's meridians are indeed severed. However, it is repairing itself. Do you understand? Disciple, do you understand the concept of self-repair?"

Mo Xiezi's eyes lit up when he said this.

Huo Yinya opened his mouth wide, his mind buzzing.

"Master, do you mean she will heal and recover on her own?"

“Yes, that’s right. However, I don’t understand why the needles I inserted into her acupoints were automatically ejected. Perhaps my method is ineffective for her, so her body activated its self-protection mechanism.”

"Haha, as expected, Xiao Bing is different." Huo Yinya laughed heartily.

Mo Xiezi shook his head, then stared intently at the person in front of him.

"Apprentice, go and get me some things. I'm going to conduct research and experiments on her now."

Seeing his master so excited, Huo Yinya dared not go.

"Master, what do you need? I'll have someone bring it to you."

Mo Xiezi was so angry she wanted to curse. However, facing this new person, she didn't want to be too irritable. She simply waved her hand, told him what she needed, and then began to study the person on the bed.

Whether it was her imagination or not, when her hand touched the woman's wrist on the bed, it seemed as if a force automatically propelled the body forward.

That intense repulsive force made Mo Xiezi somewhat embarrassed.

"How strange! This body has truly developed a protective instinct around me. Disciple, when you encounter her, do you feel any sense of disgust? Like, as if you're being strongly disliked?"

Huo Yinya thought for a moment. She shook her head. "No, when I'm near her, I feel a sense of peace between us. And it seems like she likes being with me too."

"Huh?" Mo Xiezi was completely baffled. He found it all utterly unbelievable.

"Fine, I'll keep this body for now," Mo Xiezi said, stepping forward to snatch the body away.

But Huo Yinya protected him with his life.

“Master, you promised that I would take care of this body. As your master, you cannot act recklessly.”

Mo Xiezi felt heartbroken looking at his disciple who was so protective of his own.

"Sigh, the child I raised isn't my own, and now it seems the apprentice I raised isn't mine either. Oh well, I guess I'll just have to retreat."

Having finally managed to get rid of his master, Huo Yinya was also relieved.

Seeing the person on the bed still wearing tattered clothes, Huo Yinya suddenly realized that she should probably change her clothes.

It wasn't until they changed clothes that they realized there were differences between men and women.

"Xiao Bing, I... I changed your clothes. It doesn't look good to always wear such tattered clothes, does it?"

If you don't object, I'll take that as a yes.

Huo Yinya was very embarrassed. Taking advantage of the other person's lack of response, he quickly changed his clothes. He didn't know if he was just imagining things, but while changing, his hand accidentally touched a certain spot, and it seemed that Xiao Bing was expressing strong contempt for him.

"Hehe, I, I made a mistake. Um, I didn't look, I really didn't look. It's just that I didn't look, and my hand was a little out of control."

After finally managing to finish this grueling task, Huo Yinya was drenched in sweat from fright.

"Mom, this is even more tiring than a battle I fought during my cultivation."

But when I turned around and smelled a faint fragrance on my hand, I smiled foolishly again.

"Xiao Bing, you smell so good."

"flutter……"

Perhaps his laughter was too foolish, because it caused him to trip and fall flat on his face...

"Thank goodness, thank goodness, no one saw it."

"puff……"

I felt like someone was laughing, but when I looked around, there was no one there.

Huo Yinya scratched his head. "Sure enough, I'm getting sillier the more I practice. I've become quite eccentric lately."

Shaking his head to shake off the discomfort, Huo Yinya continued his cultivation and care.

And thus began a long and bizarre cohabitation with Xiaobing.

Every morning, Huo Yinya would collect some dew outside to moisten Xiao Bing's lips and other skin. If he collected a lot of dew, he would wipe her body.

After finishing, she began her day of cultivation. At noon, her master, Mo Xiezi, would come here to conduct his routine examination and observe the progress of Xiao Bing's self-repair.

In the afternoon and evening, after Huo Yinya finished his cultivation, he would lie down next to Xiao Bing and sleep with her.

Although Xiao Bing neither speaks nor moves, Huo Yinya discovered through prolonged experimentation that Xiao Bing is likely conscious.

For example, if you accidentally touch her private parts while changing her underwear, Xiao Bing will strongly despise you and be quite annoyed.

If he stayed out too long and came back late, the girl on the bed would seem to get angry and ignore him when he tried to get close to her. Only after he coaxed and persuaded her would Xiaobing's body stop being so stiff.

"Xiao Bing, the weather is nice, I'll take you outside to soak up the sun today."

Knowing that Xiao Bing possesses a self-aware consciousness, but is currently unable to speak or move, Huo Yinya treats her with even greater care and affection.

When the weather is nice, or when the flowers are in full bloom, he would carry her outside to bask in the sun, meditate, or cook something else together.

To be honest, besides comprehending profound things, Huo Yinya's favorite thing is...

The other thing is making food.

Normally, male monks don't like to cook.

However, Huo Yinya is an example in the cultivation world.

He loves to eat.

Given good food, he can create countless delicious dishes.

That's why whenever the weather is nice, they'll carry people out and, amidst the aroma of food, cook while explaining things to Xiao Bing.

"Little Bing, I'm planning to make Immortal Hoof Stew today. This dish is made with deer leg meat from a spirit beast, combined with other spirit vegetables. Back when I had never tasted spirit vegetables, just smelling this dish made me think it was truly... the most delicious thing in the world. At that time, I only thought that if I had the chance, I must eat it. Fortunately, I can make it now. Come on, let me let you smell the aroma. You never wake up, so I have to punish you by making you smell the aroma. Once you can eat it, I'll make it for you every day, okay!"

What amused Huo Yinya was that Xiao Bing seemed to be a foodie as well.

Whenever he cooks, Xiao Bing's face turns bright red.

Then, immersed in the fragrance, she clenched her fists slightly and tensed up.

Xiao Bing wouldn't relax until the fragrance dissipated. However, every time Huo Yinya tried to hug her at this point, Xiao Bing would look utterly dejected.

Of course, this feeling is entirely based on speculation.

Of course, Xiao Bing wasn't truly despondent. She was... seemingly excited, yet also seemingly angry. Anyway, following her master's advice, stimulating Xiao Bing like this would help her wake up sooner.

Knowing that Xiao Bing had an extraordinary reaction to food, Huo Yinya started making different kinds of food every day.

Today I'm making braised pig's trotters, tomorrow I'll be making a grand feast. Or maybe I'll just be making skewers...

Anyway, the aroma of all kinds of food on Yantai Mountain every day is so tempting that it makes the people on the surrounding mountains unable to concentrate on their cultivation.

Several people even protested and moved away, just to escape the irresistible aroma of the food.

It's true, when you reach a crucial moment in your cultivation, there are always various tempting aromas that make you want to give up... Then, in a daze, all your previous cultivation efforts are wasted... At that time, you really have the urge to curse.

Previously, Xiao Bing was unable to eat, but as her complexion improved, she was able to consume some liquid foods to nourish herself.

Therefore, Huo Yinya began to focus on researching some different kinds of nourishing soups.

He would spare no expense to acquire any good recipe for nourishing soup.

Then, try different methods and make some different nourishing soups for Xiaobing.

"As long as she can eat, this kind of nourishment will make her health better and better."

Huo Yinya absolutely believed his master Mo Xiezi's words. Because of this, he became increasingly skilled at making nourishing soups.

Every morning, aside from his meditation time, he would spend his time collecting and researching various soup recipes and methods.

Then we'll put it into practice. And when we go out, we'll put Xiao Bing into our spatial ring.

Huo Yinya also found this strange. Generally speaking, living people cannot be placed in a space.

However, he tested it and found that even if he put Xiaobing in the spatial ring for a whole day and night, it seemed to have no effect.

Of course, Huo Yinya was also very worried when he first conducted this experiment.

He experimented by timing the time, gradually increasing the time until he finally determined that Xiao Bing was almost the same inside the space as outside. Then he felt at ease taking Xiao Bing outside to do various tasks or find all sorts of strange medicinal remedies.

However, after being away for a while, Huo Yinya discovered an undeniable fact: it seemed that Xiao Bing didn't really like being inside the spatial ring.

Just like before, as long as it is placed in the spatial ring for a day and a night, Xiao Bing's whole body will become stiff.

It took him a long time to coax and persuade her before she gradually relaxed.

After this happened several times, Huo Yinya realized that Xiao Bing actually loved the outside world. To ease her discomfort, Huo Yinya had a fine carrying basket made for her.

“Little Bing, I’ll carry you on my back. From now on, unless we’re fighting, I’ll keep you in my basket. That way, you can travel the world with me.”

Although Xiao Bing didn't say anything, Huo Yinya's clasped hand conveyed a very joyful signal.

That feeling was simply vivid.

"Hehe, you little rascal, so you're just like me, someone who loves to eat, play, and see the outside world."
