Chapter 572: Chapter 572: Hu Yan Finally Understood

Then her consciousness returned. Or more accurately... Half returned.

She could suddenly hear sounds around her ears again. Her senses slowly came back little by little, yet her body still felt terribly heavy and weak.

She still could not properly open her eyes.

Meanwhile outside, Hu Yan had already carefully carried her into the inner room earlier.

At this moment, he gently laid her down onto the soft bed before quietly pulling her into his arms.

The usually cheerful tiger beastman now looked completely fragile. His golden eyes were slightly red while his expression looked painfully helpless.

Then slowly... He lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

Then her temple.

Her nose.

Her cheeks.

And finally, her lips.

Every kiss felt extremely soft and careful, almost as though he was worshiping something precious and fragile.

"Lan Lan..."

His low voice sounded slightly hoarse.

"Why do you always scare me like this?"

"Please wake up..."

"You cannot leave us like this..."

His voice gradually became even lower, almost tearful.

Su Qinglan suddenly felt warmth falling onto her shoulder. Hu Yan was actually crying quietly while hugging her.

Inside, Su Qinglan instantly panicked. She wanted to move.

Wanted to open her eyes.

Wanted to tell him she was fine.

But her body still refused to listen to her.

Meanwhile, Hu Yan gently kissed her again before suddenly taking out a crystal core from nearby. He slowly crushed it between his teeth.

Then he lowered his head and kissed her lips once more.

At the same moment a faint warm energy slowly entered Su Qinglan’s body.

Although it was only a tiny bit, Su Qinglan instantly felt her consciousness become clearer.

Even her stiff fingers twitched slightly, and Hu Yan immediately noticed it. His entire body froze. Then suddenly his eyes widened in shock. His breathing instantly became hurried.

"So it really works..."

His voice sounded almost disbelieving. Then countless thoughts rapidly flashed through his mind.

After all...

None of them were stupid.

How could they not notice before?

Every time after Su Qinglan spent the night with them, her aura and powers became visibly stronger the next morning.

Even her plant ability improved unusually fast.

At first, they only felt suspicious.

But now...

Hu Yan finally understood completely.

The crystal core energy transferred through intimacy could actually replenish Su Qinglan’s strange power.

At that moment, his originally hopeless eyes instantly lit up with excitement.

If this truly could save her...

Then he was willing to do anything.

He would even kneel before Beast God Temple for days if it meant Su Qinglan could wake up safely.

His arms immediately tightened around her body while he kissed her even more carefully and lovingly.

Then suddenly...

His entire body jolted again.

Because this time...

Su Qinglan’s lips actually moved slightly against his.

Hu Yan instantly became even more emotional.

"Lan Lan..."

He gently kissed her eyelids softly. But seeing she still could not wake up, he whispered quietly near her ear.

"I know you can hear me."

Then he took a deep breath before speaking softly again.

"Lan Lan..."

"You trust me, right?"

"I will never do anything that disappoints you."

Inside her mind, Su Qinglan almost exploded from embarrassment.

Disappoint her?

How could he ever disappoint her?

At this point she was already completely his!

Her heart beat wildly inside her chest while her face burned red hot internally.

Hu Yan’s hand slowly slipped beneath her clothes before resting carefully against her slightly swollen stomach.

Even in this moment, his movements remained extremely gentle, as though he was afraid of hurting her or the cubs inside her body. His warm palm rubbed softly over her belly before gradually moving upward.

Then his fingers slowly cupped her soft chest.

The moment he touched her, Su Qinglan felt her entire body tremble faintly. Even though she still could not fully control her body, every sensation had become unbelievably clear. It was as if all her senses had been magnified countless times.

A shaky breath escaped from her lips.

Hu Yan immediately froze for a second before a deep emotion flashed through his eyes. He lowered his head and buried his face against the crook of her neck, inhaling her sweet scent greedily as though he was trying to reassure himself that she was truly waking up little by little.

"Lan Lan..."

His voice sounded hoarse and emotional.

His fingers continued caressing her carefully, almost worshipfully, while his eyes stayed fixed on every tiny reaction from her body.

Even the slightest trembling of her fingers or the faint movement of her breathing made his heartbeat quicken violently.

One of his hands slowly wrapped around her waist before slipping lower little by little until it hooked gently against the waistband of her skirt.

Su Qinglan’s entire body stiffened instantly.

Her consciousness was completely awake now, yet her body still felt weak and sluggish.

That only made every touch feel even more overwhelming. She could clearly feel the warmth of his fingers against her skin and the slow teasing movements that seemed to ignite fire beneath her body.

Her skirt trembled faintly at the sides as Hu Yan carefully pulled it down.

Su Qinglan felt as though her mind was exploding.

She had never experienced such intense sensations before.

Every nerve inside her body tingled violently, making her breathing increasingly uneven. Her fingers twitched weakly against the blanket while her heartbeat pounded loudly inside her chest.

Hu Yan lowered his head once more and began kissing her neck softly.

His lips moved from top to bottom slowly and patiently, leaving warm kisses against her sensitive skin while one of his hands held her thighs gently apart. Then his other hand slowly caressed her sensitive place through soft movements.

Su Qinglan almost lost her breath.

A trembling sound escaped her throat as her body arched faintly beneath him.

Hu Yan immediately lifted his head. A small smile finally appeared on his handsome face after seeing her reaction.

The despair and fear from earlier seemed to fade slightly from his eyes, replaced instead by burning emotion and deep longing.

His gaze became darker and more predatory.

Then his fingers moved again, stroking her slowly and teasingly, making Su Qinglan feel as though she was being pushed toward madness little by little.

Every movement was unbearably slow.

Su Qinglan felt tormented by the overwhelming pleasure building inside her body. She wanted to tell him to stop teasing her like this. She wanted him to hurry, yet no words could properly leave her lips.

Only weak sounds escaped from her throat.

Hu Yan seemed to enjoy her reactions completely.

He lowered his head again and kissed her lips deeply while his fingers continued moving against her relentlessly. His warm tongue tangled with hers as though he wanted to swallow every sound she made.

The heat inside Su Qinglan’s body rose higher and higher until her mind became completely dizzy.

Then suddenly...

Her mind explodes...

At some point, his fingers had already disappeared, replaced instead by something far larger and hotter pressing deeply inside her.

Hu Yan thrust into her in one powerful movement.

Su Qinglan’s eyes flew open in shock as a breathless cry finally escaped her lips.

"H...Hu Yan..."
