The Return of the Beast Princess

Chapter 131 - The fourth mate *

Asha woke up, still feeling a bit woozy. She still feels a bit cold but the warmth enveloping her whole body is keeping her snug and cozy. It was very comfortable that she can't resist to rub her cheek on his hard muscular chest. She then snaps her eyes open for she realized that it wasn't one of her husbands. She then remember who she is with.

She can feel the rise and fall of his chest as he breathes. Asha slowly moves, not wanting to wake up Shay. She looks up for a bit and saw his serene sleeping face. She can feel their naked bodies intertwined under the coats and his wing. She blushed a deep red, her temperature shooting up, making her more feverish.

Shay slowly opens his eyes when he felt her body stir away from him. He still wants to feel her body against his. Even just by touching skin to skin.

"Do you still feel cold guild master? You got sick from your wet clothes so I took them all off if you do not remember anything before sleeping."

"I remember. Thank you. Uhm, I have medicine and I just need to take them to feel better. I need to get dressed."

Asha sits up quickly and turns around so Shay can only see her naked back. Shay sits up slowly as he morphs his wing back to his arm. He smirks and tries to contain his chuckle while watching her reaction.

"Do not be shy guild master. You do not need to be embarrassed. I have already seen everything. Even felt it."

He can see her ears and nape get flushed more.

Why do I keep getting excited and need to flirt more? She looks so cute when embarrassed.

Asha swiped and popped a pill immediately. She also swiped out a bamboo flask that she has been keeping for emergencies and drank water from it. She gave it to Shay while covering her plump bossom with her other arm.

"You are too talkative for a male beast man. You better drink. I don't want you to get dehydrated or you'll get sick. One sick person is enough."

Shay made sure to drink from where her lips touched the bamboo flask. He took small sips while still watching her naked back. She was holding her still wet clothes and sigh.

"Do not wear those guild master. We do not have any means of drying them. I still do not have sufficient mana to even dry your hair."

"Even if I drank medicine already, it won't take effect that fast. I still feel cold. I left most of my clothes at home so the coats are not enough to warm me up. You also need to stay warm. I don't know where the cold breeze is coming from this tunnel and we don't know how far are we from the end. We'll be stuck here for a bit. We need to meditate to gain more mana."

Asha stays seated with her back on Shay as she tries to concentrate to meditate. But for some reason, the mana flowing towards her is too thin. She was surprised when it was suddenly cut off. She then tried again but it was interrupted again. Like someone or something is deliberately preventing her from replenishing her mana.

"What the hell? Mana flow in this tunnel is getting disrupted. We might still be within the magic barrier. Who the hell made this? If it's a rune formation, I could have found a way to break it. But it's magic that I don't even recognize. It feels too old, like ancient magic."

Asha shivers as another cold breeze pass her by. She was surprised when she felt Shay's hands rub against her arms to warm her up.

"I am sorry guild master but it seems that you still feel cold. We cannot light a fire here for the smoke will suffocate us. You better just get those things back."

Asha sighs as she held her hand out and recall the logs that she threw on the ground earlier. She held a coat to cover her front while Shay continuously rubs both her arms to steadily warm her up.
