Bai Di hadn't wanted to tell her this because he didn't want to upset her.
But they were mates. Even if he could hide it from her for a while, he couldn't hide it forever unless he never slept with her again.
But how could Bai Di not sleep with her?
He wanted to melt her into his body.
"The prophet got someone to give me three pills. Those pills can increase the physique of beasts. These scars were left behind when my physique was improved."
Bai Di said it casually, as if the experience of living a life worse than death after taking the medicine was all an illusion.
Huanhuan raised her hand and gently stroked the crisscrossing scars. "Did it hurt?"
"It didn't."
Huanhuan pressed her face against his abdomen. "Liar."
How could it not hurt when there were so many scars?!
Bai Di stroked her head. "I want to be stronger. I want to protect you from being hurt again."
