The next morning, Yan Jien was awakened by pain.
Opening his eyes, he immediately gasped in shock.
He saw a large gash torn open at his waist, blood flowing out continuously.
"Hiss..."
Yan Jien grimaced, feeling unbearable pain.
Last night, although Tong Liya had lost her sanity, her instincts remained; she knew she couldn't kill Yan Jien. Instead, she had torn open a wound at his waist and then leaned over him, greedily drinking his blood.
Yan Jien did not resist or stop her; he allowed her to feed.
He understood very well that Tong Liya was in an uncontrollable state, and if he fought back, it would only provoke a more violent reaction from her.
In that situation, he could only endure and wait for her to regain control.
Fortunately, although Tong Liya was mad, she still recognized him. After drinking her fill of his blood, she stopped attacking and fell asleep holding him.
Yan Jien, on the other hand, lost consciousness due to excessive blood loss.
"You're awake?"
A concerned voice came from beside him; it was Tong Liya.
"Yeah." Yan Jien nodded slightly.
"You..." Tong Liya looked at him with a worried expression. "Are you okay?"
"What do you think?" Yan Jien forced a bitter smile.
"I..." Tong Liya hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I'm sorry about what happened last night."
"It's fine." Yan Jien shook his head. "It's my fault for neglecting you."
"Then you..." Tong Liya bit her lip. "How's your injury?"
"It's nothing serious." Yan Jien smiled. "I'll recover soon."
"That's good." Tong Liya sighed in relief.
"By the way," Yan Jien suddenly remembered something and asked, "Have you transformed?"
"Yeah." Tong Liya nodded. "I can now control my transformation freely."
As she spoke, she concentrated and transformed into the monster from last night once again.
"..." Yan Jien stared at her, his mouth twitching slightly.
It had only been a day, and Tong Liya could already control her transformation so well; that speed was astonishingly fast.
He had taken an entire month to reach this stage initially.
"Yan Jien, what's wrong?" Tong Liya transformed back into her human form and looked at him in confusion.
"Oh, it's nothing." Yan Jien snapped back to reality and shook his head.
"Are you wondering why I can control my transformation so quickly?" Tong Liya blinked at him.
"Yeah." Yan Jien smiled. "Please tell me how you did it!"
"I won't tell you." Tong Liya chuckled and turned to run outside.
"You little girl." Yan Jien scolded with a laugh and got up to chase after her.
After they had a playful scuffle, Tong Liya suddenly asked, "How did it go with that vixen yesterday?"
"Uh..." Yan Jien froze in place.
"What's wrong?" Tong Liya stared at him, her gaze unfriendly.
"Ahem." Yan Jien cleared his throat and awkwardly smiled, "Liya, can we not talk about this topic?"
"Why not?" Tong Liya glared at him.
"I..." Yan Jien hesitated for a moment and said softly, "I don't want to lie to you."
"What do you mean?" Tong Liya frowned.
"I..." Yan Jien opened his mouth, but ultimately mustered the courage to say, "I don't want to leave you, nor do I want to leave Sister Yan. Can you accept that?"
"..." Tong Liya fell silent.
"Liya." Yan Jien took her hand and said gently, "I know I'm selfish, but I really can't let go of either of you."
"Yan Jien." Tong Liya looked at him with a complex expression on her face, "Why are you always so fickle?"
"I..." Yan Jien opened his mouth, unsure of what to say.
"Yan Jien." Tong Liya shook her head, "I won't leave you, but you can't leave me either; otherwise, I'll hate you for the rest of my life!"
"Mm." Yan Jien nodded vigorously.
"Alright." Tong Liya smiled, "You should go rest now; look at your pale face, you must have lost a lot of blood last night."
"It's fine." Yan Jien waved his hand dismissively, "I'm strong; losing a bit of blood is nothing."
"Hmph!" Tong Liya snorted, "If you dare get sick, just wait and see how I'll deal with you!"
"Hehe." Yan Jien smiled slightly and wrapped his arm around her waist.
"Ah!" Tong Liya exclaimed, "What are you doing?"
"You are my girlfriend; what do you think I'm going to do?" Yan Jien grinned mischievously.
"You..." Tong Liya blushed deeply, "You rogue!"
"Haha!" Yan Jien laughed heartily and picked her up in his arms as he walked toward the bedroom.
"Yan Jien, what are you doing?" Tong Liya panicked.
"Doing!" Yan Jien replied succinctly.
"Ah—"
A scream echoed in the room.
At noon, Yan Jien and Tong Liya finally got out of bed.
"Sigh." Yan Jien sighed.
"What's wrong?" Tong Liya looked at him in confusion.
"What do you think?" Yan Jien rolled his eyes.
"Serves you right," Tong Liya shot him a reproachful glare.
"..." Yan Jien was at a loss for words.
After the two finished washing up and just arrived in the living room, Yan Jien's phone rang.
He picked it up and saw it was a WeChat message from Yan Weila.
"Xiao Yan, why aren't you replying to my messages?"
"Where are you?"
"Xiao Yan, say something!"
"Xiao Yan, have you gone missing?"
"..." Yan Jien rubbed his nose and replied, "I fell asleep last night and didn't see your messages."
"Oh." Yan Weila quickly replied, "Then I'm going back."
"Going back?" Yan Jien was taken aback. "Where are you going back to?"
"Back home," Yan Weila responded. "Didn't you say you didn't want me to stay?"
"..." Yan Jien was instantly dumbfounded.
He didn't expect that he had just casually brushed her off, and Yan Weila took it seriously.
This was troublesome.
"Stop messing around," Yan Jien hurriedly replied. "I didn't mean it that way."
"What did you mean then?" Yan Weila asked.
"I..." Yan Jien hesitated for a moment. "What I meant was for you to stay here for now, and I'll think of a way later."
"Heh." Yan Weila let out a cold laugh. "I think you're just trying to figure out how to deceive me."
"..." Yan Jien was speechless.
"Alright." Yan Weila sent another message, "I know what you're worried about. Don't worry, I won't make things difficult for you."
"I..." Yan Jien opened his mouth but didn't know what to say.
"That's it then," Yan Weila replied, "I bought an afternoon flight ticket and will arrive in Nanquan at eight tonight. Remember to pick me up."
"..." The corners of Yan Jien's mouth twitched, filled with helplessness.
"Yan Jien," Tong Liya suddenly leaned over, staring at him with a serious expression, "Are you getting involved with that vixen again?"
"Cough cough." Yan Jien cleared his throat. "Don't say nonsense."
"Then why didn't you speak just now?" Tong Liya questioned.
"I..." Yan Jien hesitated and explained the situation.
"Hmph!" Tong Liya pouted and turned her head away, clearly unhappy after hearing this.
"Liya," Yan Jien hugged her gently and said softly, "Don't worry, I will always be by your side."
"Cut!" Tong Liya pouted, "You men only know how to sweet-talk."
"I..." Yan Jien was instantly at a loss for words.
For the rest of the afternoon, the two were entwined together.
It wasn't until five in the evening that they reluctantly got out of bed.
After a day of rest, Yan Jien's wounds had healed, and his self-healing ability was slowly recovering.
This made Tong Liya very satisfied.
The two cuddled together, enjoying the rare peace.
Suddenly—
Yan Jien raised an eyebrow, feeling somewhat surprised.
He discovered that Mutant Humans had appeared in his territory!
Moreover, they seemed to be searching for something!
"Could it be..." Yan Jien squinted, "Are they coming for me?"
After thinking for a moment, he decided to ignore them for now and wait until dark, when his self-healing ability was fully restored, to see who was causing him trouble.
"Yan Jien," Tong Liya suddenly called out.
"Mm?" Yan Jien looked at her, puzzled, "What's wrong?"
"Let's take a shower," Tong Liya said with a blush.
"A shower?" Yan Jien was taken aback.
"We didn't shower last night," Tong Liya shot him a glance.
"Hehe." Yan Jien chuckled and pinched her nose, "You have the nerve to say that; who told you to be so wild?"
"Hmph!" Tong Liya huffed playfully, "Just say whether we're going or not!"
"Let's go!" Yan Jien laughed heartily and picked her up as they headed toward the bathroom.
Just as they reached the bathroom door, his phone suddenly rang.
He picked it up to see it was a call from Yan Weila.
"Hello," Yan Jien pressed the answer button.
"Yan Jien, help me!!" Yan Weila's scream came through the phone.
