Chapter 3: There is a wife?
[Skill: Heal]
Description: Restore a small amount of vitality and quickly heal injuries.
...
The new skill is practical in many ways.
Yayoi didn't even have to call out "Heal" when using the skill. Silently, a verdant green light shone faintly from the palm of his right hand and soon covered the rest of his body.
'Um, this feels quite magical. My body's certainly healing, but this is not enough. It relieves a lot of pain. How incredible. I could become a renowned healer with just this!'
With Yayoi's current mana pool, he can only cast [Heal] twice. Right after, Yayoi feels somewhat depleted, but only psychologically, like a person staying up all night.
A little grumpy and fatigued.
However, his condition has significantly improved compared to before. His life is no longer in danger. The status also changed from [Heavily injured] to just [Injured]. He could now move his hands and legs and even get up with some difficulty, mainly suffering from the lingering pain.
"Tian!"
A shout comes from outside.
Yayoi suddenly heard a woman's voice. It feels familiar. Her tone sounds a little angry. Seeing the man struggling, the woman hurried to the bed, put down the warm water basin, and quickly supported his body.
"What are you thinking?" She looks sad. "Please rest, don't get up. Your injuries are too serious. What if you make it worse?"
"Hey..." Yayoi slightly touched her pretty face with his hand and grinned. "You look worried."
"... That's because I am! I'm worried!" Xiao Ling'er retorted angrily, tears gradually swelling up in her eyes. It becomes misty.
Most traditional women in this era are like this. If you marry a dog, you follow the dog. This time seeing Long Aotian, her husband, come back collapsing like a dead man, she fears and thought he wouldn't make it though she genuinely hopes otherwise. No matter how badly he has treated her, in the end, they are still husband and wife.
"Well, don't be. I'm fine. These wounds... They will be gone in a few days. Hahahaha." Yayoi laughed loudly, then gently held the woman's hands and looked at her carefully.
5 seconds later—
'Huh? Is this...'
[Name: Xiao Ling'er(22)]
[Disposition: Loyal, virtuous wife]
[Level: 4]
[Status: Normal/Slightly malnourished]
[Attributes: Strength(4)(Common), Dexterity(5)(Common), Constitution(4)(Common), Qi(3)(Common), Intelligence(21)(Heroic), Mana(1)(Common), Luck(25)(Rare)]
'Loyal, virtuous wife... No wonder. Eh? 21 points for Intelligence. Does that mean she is smarter than me? F*ck!'
Seeing Xiao Ling'er's disposition, Yayoi sighed in his heart.
Xiao Ling'er. She used to be a delicate young lady from a good and reputable family but married away at thirteen... It has been nearly ten years! Her once tender hands are now slightly rough from the farm work. How many hardships has she been through?
This woman was Long Aotian's wife but is now his own!
Even if Yayoi is just a lowly traverser, having inherited much of the memories from the bastard, he has a good impression of Xiao Ling'er and would never abandon her.
'Loyal, virtuous wife. If it were me, I would have long left and found myself another man.' Yayoi thought, putting himself in her shoes.
What a gem!
Of course, as perverted as he is, Yayoi could swear to heaven that this was never about Xiao Ling'er beauty— it's about moral principles and righteousness! Even his sudden erection at this moment is all due to the previous Long Aotian's lustful nature.
In fact, Xiao Ling'er does have quite the looks, probably a solid 7 out of 10, even without any trace of any makeup. A proud figure, wide hips, thick thighs, and pretty long legs. Waist-length bright ginger hair and amber eyes. Though her face has lost some color due to the famine and food shortage, it only makes Yayoi feels pity and a strong urge to protect the flower.
Is 7/10 low? No, no, no. Yayoi's standard is extremely lofty. To him, a 9 is already the depiction of an absolute peerless beauty that no mortal can possess.
"You..." Looking at Yayoi, Xiao Ling'er was speechless, then doubtful: 'What is up with him?'
Facing her husband's sudden change in attitude, she thought that the current Long Aotian was much different from his usual self. Then, she saw 'life' in his eyes. What the heck? The usual decadent/anger was replaced with gentleness and sincerity.
But how come?
Why?
That gaze full of tenderness...
It was so unfamiliar!
'Did he get possessed?'
However, there was no time for Xiao Ling'er to think deeply. The next moment when her husband's hands slowly reach out, her heart turns cold, and her body involuntarily flinches, almost into a defensive posture.
Here it comes!
Xiao Ling'er thought it was all a dream. That moments ago... She believed that the affectionate looks in his eyes just now was just her hallucination.
'What was I expecting? It's ridiculous.'
Xiao Ling'er was self-defeating. She, who already used to be treated as an outlet for Long Aotian's anger, hated herself for holding onto that little hope that maybe one day he could change his way.
'Huh?'
But then, surprisingly, the expected slap and violence didn't come as she thought.
At this time, Yayoi had already pulled out his secret technique. His strong arms wrapped around Xiao Ling'er and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he sickly whispered the word "Thank you" to her ears and said no more.
Tsk, tsk, for the current Long Aotian, any more would be shallow and fake.
Meanwhile, Xiao Ling'er was a little overwhelmed—choked by her various emotion. 'What?' What on earth is going on? This hug gave her a strong sense of security and comfort.
"*Hic*What are you saying...I have been waiting for so long. Why couldn't you say this sooner!" She cried loudly. The sobbing makes her words almost inaudible.
While feeling both joyful and complicated, Xiao Ling'er, for once, let go of her self-restraint and bawled her eyes out like a baby, beating his chest violently with her fist.
*Cough*
'F*ck! Did she want to kill me?'
*Cough*
Yayoi groaned, almost coughing up blood: "Ling'er, stop, stop, stop... you are killing me like this!"
"Liar! I know you're dying... Even the doctor said you wouldn't make it. If this weren't your last twilight moment, would you ever have said such words to me?" After saying all that, she punched him even harder. "But don't worry. Even if you don't belong to the living world, I will share death with you."
Xiao Ling'er vowed resolutely with a heart of sadness.
She has hoped for her husband to change his way. But not like this. It shouldn't come with his life.
However, while she is busy venting her emotions, Xiao Ling'er has yet to discover that the wolf's claws are slowly unfastening her clothes. In no time, Yayoi pushed her down on the bed. She poses no resistance, for this is what husband and wife ought to do.
At this moment, Xiao Ling'er dispelled the doubt of whether her husband was being possessed by evil spirits. Luckily, her husband is still her husband. Even on his deathbed, he is still so horny.
Following Yayoi's lead, the two entangled together, tongue out with a passionate kiss.
He greedily tasted her mouth, her tongue, her saliva.
Down below,
A fat 12 inched long meat stick lovingly rubbed Xiao Ling'er's lower belly with great patience and teased her. He didn't force his way inside until her entrance became smooth and wet.
*Anng♡~!*
At this moment, Xiao Ling'er's eyes widened, and seem to have discovered a whole new world.
Despite the countless times they have done it together, other than pain, she never thought lovemaking could feel so wonderful. As for Yayoi, although this is his first venture through a man's body, he knows how to make a woman feels good.
In this steamy atmosphere, the man unhurriedly thrusts back and forth while the woman obediently cooperates. Aside from the pure carnal desire, he marvels at her various captivating expressions.
A series of rhythmic moaning followed, full of spring and rain.
...
The peaceful days are short, and time passes by quickly.
Yayoi's [Injured] status disappeared three days later, and his wounds healed. During this time, he would cast [Heal] on himself whenever his mana recovered, at least six times a day.
[Ding! Your Mana increased by 1](3=>4)
'Nice!'
When the morning glow shone through the window, Yayoi woke up. Seeing how Xiao Ling'er was sleeping on top of himself with a peaceful expression, he gently laid her on the bed and covered her naked body with a quilt.
Later.
In the backyard, Yayoi started doing light exercises to stretch and get used to his new body. Afterward, he cleaved some wood logs with a splitting axe. When he was tired, he rested on a stool. While drinking some water to quench his thirst, Yayoi silently looked at his crippled leg.
"Damn it!"
Although it looks alright on the surface, he still has to limp whenever he walks.
'F*ck this!'
Yayoi cursed in his heart.
'Do I have to spend a precious skill point to upgrade [Heal] to level 2?'
No!
Although [Heal] is necessary and helpful during a critical situation, Yayoi still hesitates. Not to mention, [Heal] is just one of the two beginner skills of the Priest. Once all the occupations are unlocked later, what then? There will be thousands of skills, but the number of Skill Points is extremely limited.
Yayoi doesn't want to use Skill Points so casually. He doesn't even have enough to learn skills, not to mention to upgrade them.
'No. Since a normal operation wouldn't work...' Abruptly, Yayoi's eyes turn ruthless.
"Maybe..."
There is no easy way.
The next moment, he grabbed a stick and directly busted his crippled leg. There is a blaring *Cracking!*. Hearing the sounds of his bone broken, Yayoi groaned painfully but preserved and quickly cast [Heal] on the injured part.
'This is it! This is the way!'
Now that his Mana has increased to 4 points, Yayoi is quite optimistic about this plan: trial and error. If [Heal] can't fix the already healed old wound, he must make it fresh!
At the same time, Xiao Ling'er has long since woken up and dressed. Hearing her man's painful scream, she anxiously rushed to the backyard.
'What happened?'
Suddenly, she froze, shocked. Seeing the stick in Yayoi's hand ready for another strike and his already bloodied cripple leg, god knows what she thought of him now.
"Husband! Stop this madness! Are you crazy?"
