Accidentally Married A Fox God - The sovereign lord spoils his wife Chapter 94 Investigation

More importantly, the Fox God asked himself, what was this he just heard about a memory loss? It seems his wife has her fair share of secrets in dire need of a thorough investigation!
His golden fox eyes acquired an insidious lavender tint at the thought of seizing the culprits in charge of her skin's facial scars. He will surely return the same favour, skinning them alive. One piece at a time.
Whilst Bai Qingyue was conjuring gruesome images in his mind, Li Meirong split her hair into three sections and styled the strands into a single braid, in preparation for bedtime.
She continued her explanation while doing so. "Madam Bao, who is the head chef in the sect and my superior, told me I'll only be able to permanently rid myself of the scars after forming a Spiritual Core. When we spoke of the matter, I didn't ask many questions because I never would have thought that I'd be able to successfully cultivate, so I don't really know what she meant."
The Fox God dismissed the murderous images consuming him and inwardly snickered after listening to Li Meirong's soft-spoken words. If only she knew what plans he had in store for her ... a Core Formation will be the very first requirement in her long list of tasks, but for a completely different purpose.
She has no need to change anything about herself, in his opinion at least.
"With or without scars, you'll always be beautiful to me." He ended up saying his thoughts out loud, oblivious to the impact of his words until he was already, gladly squeezed between her steamed buns.
"Thank you, Snowball. You have such a knack for cheering me up!" To Li Meirong, his answer warmed her heart more than anything else he could have mentioned regarding her features.
Snowball simply gazed back at her silently, enjoying the moment. He snuggled against his favourite softness.
Wasn't it his job to please her?
As they kept talking, Li Meirong covered her face with her hand to stifle a yawn. She had slept earlier but not nearly enough. It was a little upsetting because she had hoped to go inside of her dimension in order to check up on Chou and Feng Huang and maybe even learn more about cultivation techniques before the upcoming ceremony tomorrow, but she was far too tired to do so now.
She went to blow on each of the candles as Snowball remained tucked in her arms. Reaching her bed, she lifted up the blanket and covered both herself and the cub with it.
"Let's go back to sleep, there's a long day ahead of us tomorrow." Li Meirong said, unable to prevent herself from yawning once more.
Snowball nodded in agreement.
It took about half an hour for Li Meirong's breathing to settle into an even rhythm.
In the quiet darkness of the room, only a pair of golden eyes glowed brightly from within the shadows, casting an eerie light on the person lying nearby, completely defenceless. Bai Qingyue maintained a silent vigil with the patience of a predator lying in wait for his prey.
Finding the right moment to continue his "investigation", the Snow Fox crept out of the covers and sat by the woman's side. Finally, he was able to proceed with his task.
The small, furry face gradually morphed into smooth pale skin with sculpted angles. A thick fog appeared, cloaking a man's figure as he transformed.
Lean, ivory arms placed themselves on each side of Li Meirong. Successfully trapping the prey underneath a broad expanse of shoulders, the reflection of her sleeping face could be seen within the man's irises.
With his legs straddling her, Bai Qingyue prevented his own weight from touching hers, he remained utterly still. Mindful of stirring her awake, he placed a spell upon her, assisting in preserving her drowsy state.
"Li Meirong." His voice a low and husky whisper.
She uttered a muffled sound of acknowledgement. Just like before, she was responding to his questions in her half asleep state.
"Which qualities do you value the most in a man?" The man asked, unreservedly probing for the answers he sought most, yet her words gave him pause.
"Sincerity, honesty… mm, humility…"
The murmured words she said echoed inside his head like a mantra.
