Inside Shengqing's mind, Yujing clicked his tongue in displeasure. "What do you mean by that? I haven't harmed her either."
"Besides, she's so fragile. More Beast Marks would nourish her, help her live a better life, and make her pregnancy more comfortable."
Shengqing didn't answer, simply staring intently at Su Yu.
Su Yu listened, a complicated feeling welling up inside her.
Although Shengqing had gone a little too far just now, he was under the influence of his mating period. Besides, he hadn't taken the final step with her.
And he hadn't taken advantage of her while she was unconscious.
Shengqing had cared for her so attentively and gently these past few days. Now, he was even afraid of hurting her and had decided to risk escorting her back to the Liaoshui Tribe. Because of all this, the resistance Su Yu felt toward him from the earlier incident gradually faded.
Holding a bowl made of leaves, Su Yu asked him hesitantly, "Um, how long will your mating period last?"
