Stunning Dragon Wife
Chapter 178 - 177

Chapter 178: Chapter 177

In a daze, Zhang Xiaoshan felt a soft body leaning against his own.

He opened his eyes in a groggy state and saw Yu Xiuxiu’s stunning face, close at hand.

Yu Xiuxiu was truly beautiful. Her features, distinct when seen individually, combined into an enchanting, heavenly beauty.

Zhang Xiaoshan’s heart trembled, and he softly called out.

"Sister-in-law..."

At that moment, Yu Xiuxiu’s heart was pounding fiercely, her entire body tense.

When Zhang Xiaoshan opened his eyes, she closed hers and said in a faint, soft voice,

"Don’t speak, kiss me..."

Then she lay down straight away.

She kept her eyes tightly shut, not daring to open them or face Zhang Xiaoshan.

It was too embarrassing. She couldn’t believe she had been so forward with Zhang Xiaoshan.

The last time could be chalked up to a desperate act to save Zhang Xiaoshan’s life, but what about today?

It could only mean she lacked self-control, had developed feelings for Zhang Xiaoshan, and wanted to cherish this hard-won opportunity.

After all, if they left the mountains and returned to White Dragon Village, it would be difficult to behave like this in a place buzzing with people.

The bright moonlight cast a glow on Yu Xiuxiu’s beautiful face and her shapely figure, making her seem as enchanting as Fairy Chang E.

By then, Yu Xiuxiu’s attitude had become apparent, and Zhang Xiaoshan grew bolder, unburdened by much mental strain.

Since they were in a desolate wilderness, they did not need to take any further action.

A deep fatigue enveloped them both as they embraced and fell into sleep.

After an indeterminate time, it was just starting to lighten.

Yu Xiuxiu felt something licking her cheek.

She opened her eyes groggily.

Upon clearly seeing what it was, she immediately cried out,

"How magical! Little Shan, wake up, wake up."

Hearing Yu Xiuxiu’s shouting, Zhang Xiaoshan also woke from his deep sleep.

He too was greatly surprised upon seeing the creature beside Yu Xiuxiu.

Licking Yu Xiuxiu’s cheek was the little white tiger they had adopted the night before.

Compared to the previous night, the little tiger had undergone a radical transformation.

Last night, the little tiger had only a thin layer of fluff and its eyes were tightly closed, looking very weak and pitiful. But now, its fur had begun to puff out, more than doubling in length and thickness from the night before, and was very white, as if it had just fallen from the sky like snowflakes. Its size had grown to that of a normal three- or four-month-old kitten. Most notably, the little tiger’s previously closed eyes were now open, and because the irises had not yet faded, they appeared deep blue, like the ocean.

The little tiger was currently biting at Yu Xiuxiu’s long hair, playing joyfully with it as if it were a toy.

"Giggling..."

Yu Xiuxiu laughed heartily.

"Little Shan, look how adorable this little guy is."

Yu Xiuxiu’s heart melted instantly.

"Little guy, stop making mischief."

Zhang Xiaoshan scolded the little tiger, worried that its sharp claws might accidentally scratch Yu Xiuxiu’s delicate skin.

Upon hearing Zhang Xiaoshan’s rebuke, the little tiger indeed seemed very perceptive and immediately released Yu Xiuxiu’s hair and ran toward Zhang Xiaoshan.

Clearly, the little tiger had only just learned to walk, so it stumbled comically until reaching Zhang Xiaoshan, whereupon it rolled over at his feet, exposing its belly, obviously in a playful mood.

"Giggling, Ye Yang, look, this little fellow is just like you, a real slick one," Yu Xiuxiu said, laughing at the little white tiger’s funny antics as it trembled with laughter.

Zhang Xiaoshan bent down, picked up the little white tiger, and as he stroked the tiger’s small head, he said,

"This little fellow’s intelligence is not low; it must think we are its parents."

Upon hearing this, Yu Xiuxiu’s face immediately flushed.

"We, we’re not a couple, how could we become its parents? Little Shan, don’t say nonsense,"

she said, her head hanging down and her cheeks blushing as red as a monkey’s bottom.

Considering Yu Xiuxiu was not dressed and was putting on such a shy display, what man could withstand that? Zhang Xiaoshan was immediately enchanted.

Feeling Zhang Xiaoshan’s fervent gaze, Yu Xiuxiu flusteredly changed the subject,

"Just yesterday, this little fellow was so small, how did it undergo such a big change overnight?"

Zhang Xiaoshan’s attention was successfully diverted, and after pondering, he explained,

"Its mother is a mutated tiger, so its offspring is bound to be extraordinary. I’m really looking forward to how it changes in the future."

"Who knows, it might even become the king of all beasts in this back mountain forest."

"Well, it’s getting late, let’s leave this mountain. After all, in our current state, if the villagers see us once it’s fully light, it would be really embarrassing," Yu Xiuxiu nervously said.

Zhang Xiaoshan nodded.

"Yes, let’s go..."

The two dressed in their tattered clothes as best they could and started to leave the mountain with the little tiger in their arms.

As the first light of dawn appeared in the east, they reached the entrance of the back mountain.

But

at that moment,

there was no joy on the faces of Yu Xiuxiu and Zhang Xiaoshan, only a sense of regret and remorse.

Because once they left this deserted mountain and returned to the village, they couldn’t be so unrestrained in their relationship anymore.

"Let’s go, Little Shan,"

Yu Xiuxiu said after a moment of silence, ready to leave.

"Wait."

Zhang Xiaoshan stopped Yu Xiuxiu.

Looking at Yu Xiuxiu with a troubled expression, he tried to confess his feelings.
