Reincarnated as her wicked older sister who has been cleansed up, she attracts a swarm of beastly hu

Chapter 75 Reject her!?

The visitor was Zhu Yan.

His arrival at this moment genuinely surprised Wen Li.

Normally, Zhu Yan wouldn't take the initiative to find her, at least not these past few days.

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Wen Li asked, getting up.

Zhu Yan walked in, carrying something in her hand.

"I'm bringing you something." Zhu Yan, with his long legs, walked over to Wen Li in a few steps.

Then, he handed the few small balls in his hand to Wen Li.

"What is this?" Wen Li muttered curiously, examining the small ball in her hand.

She quickly recognized the small ball in her hand—it was insect repellent.

"Why did you suddenly send me this?" Wen Li asked in surprise.

The insect-repelling herb in her hand was kneaded into a small ball for easy wearing. Moreover, Wen Li could smell a unique fragrance on it.

"That smell on you is almost gone, isn't it?" Zhu Yan said calmly.

Wen Li picked up the bundle of insect-repelling herbs tied around her waist, sniffed it, and indeed, the scent had become much fainter.

She clenched the bundle of grass in her hand and smiled at Zhu Yan, saying, "Then I'll accept it, thank you."

Zhu Yan stared at her bright smile, pursed his lips, and after a long while uttered two words: "No need."

"Would you like to sit for a while?" Wen Li asked.

Zhu Yan glanced at the stone chair beside him and sat down naturally.

“It’s my turn to take care of you tomorrow,” he said.

Wen Li slowly walked to the seat in front of him and sat down, nodding gently.

Zhu Yan then asked, "Is there anywhere you'd like to go tomorrow?"

Shen Yihe asked the same question today.

To be honest, Wen Li really didn't have an answer. "I haven't decided yet."

Zhu Yan remained silent for a moment, but his gaze remained fixed on her.

Wen Li countered, "And what about you?"

She gently toyed with the bundle of grass that Zhu Yan had given her, a warm feeling washing over her.

To be honest, she didn't expect Zhu Yan to still remember this matter. Even she didn't realize that the scent of the insect repellent was fading and would soon lose its effectiveness.

It's not a bad feeling to be remembered.

"What about me?" Zhu Yan asked, puzzled.

Wen Li smiled and said, "Is there anywhere you'd like to go? I can go with you."

She smiled brightly.

Her fair face seemed to glow under the light of the straw lamp; her eyebrows and eyes were curved, and she was unbelievably beautiful.

Zhu Yan's heart was racing uncontrollably. He took a deep breath and suppressed the inexplicable throbbing.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that Wen Li had become even more beautiful.

Her face kept changing, becoming more and more attractive.

Sometimes, on his way home, Zhu Yan would hear other males talking about Wen Li.

That feeling was both proud and somewhat uncomfortable.

A wife's beauty is a husband's glory.

He was proud of Wen Li's popularity, yet he disliked the attention she received from so many people.

His conflicting emotions were constantly pulling at his rationality.

"No." Zhu Yan hesitated for a long time before replying dryly.

He didn't want to go anywhere.

All I want to do is stay by her side.

Zhu Yan felt that his idea was absurd, but it just popped into his head naturally, and he didn't feel any resistance to it.

"OK then."

Wen Li lowered her head, preparing to put on the new straw ball that Zhu Yan had given her.

"Let's take another look tomorrow."

If all else fails, I'll go visit Meng Yu tomorrow.

Meng Yu knew the neighborhood better than she did, but ever since she confirmed her pregnancy, her several husbands were worried about her and wouldn't let her go out.

Without Meng Yu by her side, Wen Li didn't know where to go.

She struggled to untie the sash around her waist, but it had been tied too tightly before, and her nails were now long, making it difficult to untie. She tugged at it for a long time.

Zhu Yan watched her every move in silence.

"Do you need my help?" Zhu Yan suddenly asked.

Wen Li paused, looked at him, and quickly nodded, "Okay, but this one is knotted."

After speaking, Wen Li took one of the grass balls and came to Zhu Yan.

Zhu Yan sat, while she stood.

Even so, Zhu Yan still gave her a feeling of oppression.

He was very tall, and even with one of them standing and the other sitting, Zhu Yan's imposing presence was not diminished.

Wen Li loosened the sash around her waist and leaned closer to Zhu Yan. "Thank you for your help."

Her unique, delicate fragrance constantly wafted over Zhu Yan, making him uneasy and silent.

On the surface, Zhu Yan remained expressionless, his slender fingers gently hooking the sash around her waist.

After a quick check, it turned out that Wen Li's efforts, despite lasting so long, were completely useless and had even made things tighter.

Why is it tied so tightly?

"I was afraid of losing it, so I tightened it a bit."

"Ah."

Zhu Yan's slender fingers were very nimble as he began to untie the knotted ribbons on Wen Li's clothes.

Because they were wrapped so tightly, it wasn't so easy to untangle them.

"You and Pei Yu seem to be getting along quite well lately," Zhu Yan asked casually.

Wen Li didn't lift her eyelids, keeping her eyes fixed on the fingers he was tying. "Is it alright?"

Zhu Yan added, "I haven't seen you two interact much, but I heard he even slept in your bed."

A hint of surprise flashed in Wen Li's eyes.

"What Xin Yuan said?"

Wen Li was surprised that Xin Yuan had even told them about this; the news spread far too quickly.

Zhu Yan: "Mm."

"He wasn't feeling well, and it wasn't good for him to sleep on the floor, so I let him lie down for a while," Wen Li said, making up a story without batting an eye.

"Not feeling well? He looks perfectly fine today." Zhu Yan's words were barbed.

"You got plenty of rest yesterday, didn't you?" Wen Li pretended not to hear.

Zhu Yan remained silent.

Wen Li kept staring at his movements as he untied the rope, saying she would help, but in reality, she made no progress at all.

The movements are still very slow.

Wen Li wasn't sure if Zhu Yan was being intentional or unintentional, but she couldn't help urging, "Isn't it ready yet?"

"No." Zhu Yan glanced at her lightly.

Wen Li couldn't stand his slow and indecisive attitude, so she decided to take matters into her own hands.

"I can do it myself." She pressed down on Zhu Yan's hand.

The next second, it was gently pushed aside, "I'll do it."

"You're too slow," Wen Li muttered softly.

"If you're too hasty, you'll only make it harder to solve," Zhu Yan said.

Wen Li had no choice but to stand obediently and quietly watch Zhu Yan's actions.

Fortunately, the deadlock has finally been untied.

Wen Li handed the small bundle in her hand to Zhu Yan, "Here, please tie this up for me."

"Okay." Zhu Yan took it and tied it back on for her.

As for the small, yellowish ball that had been replaced, it was placed on the table.

Zhu Yan continued tying the ribbon slowly.

"What did you just say to Pei Yu?" Zhu Yan suddenly asked.

Wen Li stopped looking at his fingers and instead focused her gaze on his delicate eyebrows and eyes.

He has lost his former sharpness and looks gentle and handsome.

"Why are you asking this? Are you curious?" Wen Li didn't like to answer directly; she preferred to ask questions in return.

Zhu Yan paused for a moment, then quickly resumed, "No."

"Why ask if there's nothing to it?" Wen Li chuckled.

Zhu Yan: "..."

After waiting for a long time without receiving a reply from Wen Li, Zhu Yan realized that she had ignored the question.

Unwilling to give up, he asked again, "What did you say?"

Wen Li feigned ignorance, "Hmm?" Zhu Yan was somewhat annoyed, "Wen Li!"

"What's wrong? Why are you so concerned? It has nothing to do with you," Wen Li said.

Zhu Yan's forehead twitched slightly.

With a strong pull, the ribbon in my hand was tied very tightly and would definitely not fall off easily.

"Oh, all done." Wen Li's attention fell on the little tuft of grass on her waist.

With this thing, bugs won't dare come near me, it's really great.

Before she could even feel happy, a large hand clung to her waist, holding her tightly.

Wen Li's waist is now very thin, so thin that Zhu Yan could easily grasp it with one hand, as if it would break if he pinched it.

Even through the animal hide, she could feel the scorching heat emanating from the other person's palm; it was unbearably hot.

She instinctively struggled to pull away, but the grip tightened the next second.

"Zhu Yan?" Wen Li whispered.

Zhu Yan gently pulled Wen Li a little closer to him.

There seems to be something ambiguous between the two.

Wen Li thought to herself.

She lowered her eyes, and her gaze met Zhu Yan's.

Wen Li was standing, so much so that Zhu Yan had to look up when he saw her.

In that instant, Wen Li felt as if she had taken the lead.

She casually placed both hands on Zhu Yan's shoulders, a smile on her face.

"Zhu Yan".

An idea was forming in Wen Li's mind, almost bursting out.

"Ok?"

Wen Li's smile widened; she felt that Zhu Yan wouldn't refuse her.

The fact that he would offer her a bundle of grass shows that he probably wouldn't refuse her.

"Can……"

Wen Li wanted to ask, but after uttering two words, she felt it was unnecessary.

Just kiss already, why all the fuss?

So she lowered her head and moved closer to Zhu Yan.

In Zhu Yan's dilated pupils, her lips gently touched his.

The four lips touched briefly before separating, and Zhu Yan couldn't hide the shock on her face.

He seemed surprised that she would suddenly kiss him.

Wen Li waited for a while but didn't receive the system's gift pack notification.

He frowned.

Didn't they say you could get a gift pack by kissing someone? Why haven't I received a notification yet?
Wen Li tapped the system, but there was no response; the system was pretending to be dead.

Wen Li was even more puzzled.

Zhu Yan, standing in front of her, was completely bewildered, staring blankly at Wen Li.

Was the kiss too short?

As Wen Li made her guesses, she moved closer to Zhu Yan, intending to try again.

This time it will take longer, a little longer, until she hears the system notification, then she will separate.

That's what Wen Li thought, and that's what she did.

Since she had already done it once, she stopped being coy.

Zhu Yan was startled and turned his head away just as Wen Li's lips were about to touch him.

Wen Li's lips brushed against Zhu Yan's face, and she looked at him in astonishment.

Zhu Yan actually rejected her!

Reject her!?

A surge of intense anger welled up within Wen Li, severely damaging her self-esteem.

Pei Yu's rejection coincided with Zhu Yan's rejection, and Wen Li felt an unprecedented sense of frustration and embarrassment.

She thought that with this face, she would be invincible.

Wen Li pursed her lips, stepped away from Zhu Yan, and turned to leave his grasp.

Zhu Yan sensed her intention and tightened his grip, showing no intention of letting Wen Li leave.

Wen Li got annoyed, "What!"

The shame and annoyance of being rejected made her cheeks flush red.

Wen Li then realized that she had taken herself too seriously, which was really embarrassing.

But he rejected her, yet he won't let her leave!

Zhu Yan's throat bobbed, his voice slightly hoarse, "Kiss and then run away?"

Wen Li's expression froze, and her blood rushed to her scalp.

I can't take it anymore, this is so embarrassing.

She tried to move her hand, but Zhu Yan held it tightly, and she couldn't struggle.

With a gentle pull from Zhu Yan, she fell into his arms, and Zhu Yan's cheek pressed down.

Wen Li was forced to sit on his lap, her almond-shaped eyes wide open.

What's the fuss about?
Didn't I just reject her? Now you're suddenly...

Zhu Yan pressed his face down, his nose touching hers, and Wen Li felt a little hot.

"wish……"

Wen Li opened her mouth, looking at a loss.

Her earlier confidence vanished completely, and her previously dominant position was instantly reversed.

"Wen Li." Zhu Yan's lips parted, and he softly uttered her name.

He seemed to want to ask something; his lips trembled as if he wanted to speak, but he hesitated and finally swallowed his words.

Zhu Yan moved his face even closer and captured her lips in his mouth.

She didn't resist, nor did she receive any system notifications; she only felt that Zhu Yan was holding her even tighter.

He gently tore at the food, murmuring a word:
"...Wen Li".

Just then, the cave curtain was lifted, and from Wen Li's perspective, she saw Pei Yu standing frozen in place.

Wen Li: "..."

We've been waiting for him for so long, and now he has to come at this exact moment, right?

Wen Li pretended to be dead and closed her eyes.

When she opened her eyes again, Pei Yu, who had been standing at the cave entrance, had disappeared, as if he had never been there at all.

Wen Li also thought she was hallucinating.

Zhu Yan finally parted ways with her with great reluctance.

Both of them were panting, and Wen Li's lips were red from being bitten, but they were slightly upturned.

I've already received Zhu Yan's gift package.

However, Zhu Yan still refused to let Wen Li go easily; he continued to hold her, seemingly in a good mood.

As for Pei Yu, Wen Li was too lazy to think about it anymore.

Winter has finally arrived.

Since their last kiss, the relationship between the two has undergone some subtle changes.

Zhu Yan is a domineering guy. Whenever he catches Wen Li, he pulls her and kisses her without any restraint.

Although the two of them would avoid Xin Yuan and Bai Yanci, after a while, they also noticed something unusual.

For example, Zhu Yan has been in a much better mood lately, and his relationship with Wen Li has become closer.

The other two were not feeling well.

But no one mentioned it, maintaining a delicate balance.

Zhu Yan has been urging Bai Yanci and Xin Yuan to go back to their cave recently.

They made many excuses, but the two remained unmoved and ignored them completely.

But something happened that left everyone without a home.

earthquake.

Before Wen Li could even feel happy about her first snowy day in the Beast World Continent, an earthquake struck.

Wen Li had never experienced an earthquake in her previous life. She lived in the south and had only seen news reports about earthquakes and similar disasters.

The earthquake happened in an instant.

The sky collapsed, the earth shook, and the mountains shook.

When the ground shook, Wen Li didn't realize something was wrong and thought it was her fault.

Soon, the rubble fell and hit her, and Wen Li realized that there had been an earthquake.

Before she could rush to the door, Xin Yuan rushed in and carried her out of the swaying cave.

Just as the two stepped out of the cave, the mountain behind them collapsed with a deafening roar.

Wen Li felt a chill run down her spine.
