After transmigrating into the body of a wicked female, her beast husband's affection level incr

Xu Wan was in so much pain that she wished she could reach into her brain and pull out the system along with that rock.

Upon hearing the system's words, she clenched her fists, closed her eyes, and mobilized her mental energy.

Sure enough, the familiar blue light reappeared.

[Xu Wan, try to draw your mental energy back in and bring it out.]

Listening to the system's instructions, she focused her attention and began to reduce the release of her mental energy.

She withdrew too abruptly the first time, and most of her mental energy was taken back.

Seeing that the newly emerged stone was about to retract, she became anxious and unleashed her spiritual power all at once.

The blue light rushed towards her mental energy, like a starving person finally getting a delicious meal.

【Xu Wan, now, withdraw your mental energy.】

She subconsciously cut off the release of her mental energy, and the blue threads, unable to retract in time, crashed straight into her.

With a "thud," a fist-sized rock fell in front of her, followed by the system orb emerging from her body.

With the feeling of invasion gone, she staggered and simply sat down on the ground.

"The system, that's it. Every time I use my powers, it devours my mental energy."

The ball of light circled the stone once, just as it was about to scan it, when Little Blue Flower behind it let out two anxious hums.

"I want it... I want it..."

Xu Wan turned around and pointed to the stone on the ground, "You want this?"

"Uh-huh!"

She reached out to pick it up, but the ball of light blocked her way.

【No, Little Blue Flower is your spiritual entity. This stone will absorb your spiritual energy. We can't give it to her until we've investigated thoroughly.】

She nodded, reaching out to touch the petals of the little blue flower. "I can't give it to you yet."

The little blue flower was silent for a moment, then suddenly twisted its petals to one side, "...Ugh, so mean!"

Xu Wan was taken aback, then burst into laughter, "Tongzi, Little Blue Peanut is angry with you."

System: [...The child doesn't understand, and you're joining in the fun too.]

Sigh, taking care of two kids all by myself is exhausting.

Just as he was about to float away, the stone on the ground bounced twice, flipped over, and then... couldn't flip back.

The system glanced at it: ...Stupid stone, there are three now.

Xu Wan picked up the stone and examined it from head to toe.

"It looks like an ordinary stone no matter how you look at it, and the blue lines are gone."

She shook it up and down twice, and heard a faint sound coming from her hand.

"...bubu"

She stopped what she was doing and noticed a dazed expression on the stone: ◎ロ◎

"Hey, this is interesting, Tongzi, take a look."

The ball of light approached and scanned the stone.

[It will take a few days to get results, Xu Wan. Take the stone out with you and use it for your mental control training these next few days.]

"Good idea."

She tossed the stone in her hand into the air twice. "Little stone, you can only blame your bad luck for meeting me~"

Stone: Ugh~ I feel like throwing up... ◎ロ◎

Inside the cave, Zhuyou lay on his side, resting his chin on one hand as he looked at the little female with her eyes closed.

At first, he thought she had fallen asleep due to excessive mental exertion, and he was about to steal a kiss when he saw the corner of her mouth slightly curl up.

I thought she was pretending to be asleep, and I was about to talk to her when I noticed that her brows were furrowed and her face was pale, as if she was going through something painful.

He dared not wake her; he could only hold her hand and listen carefully to her breathing.

If anything seems amiss, he can immediately take her to a witch doctor.

Fortunately, her breathing became calm again after a short while, her brows gradually relaxed, and the corners of her lips turned up again.

My tense heart finally relaxed, and I wanted to put her hand back to her side so she could rest, but I found a stone in her palm.

He reached out to pick it up and take a look, but it vanished right in front of him.

It wasn't an illusion; it really vanished into thin air.

He stood there stunned for a while before he reacted.

"Um……"

Hearing the little female's soft moan, he subconsciously closed his eyes and pretended to be asleep, but his mind was in turmoil, and he couldn't calm down no matter what.

Wanwan, how many more secrets do you still have that we don't know?

Completely unaware that she was about to reveal all her cards, Xu Wan slowly opened her eyes, first looking at her empty palms, and quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, she reacted quickly and put the stone back into the emergency space in time.

Otherwise, if Zhu You discovers that she can conjure objects out of thin air, wouldn't he think she's a monster?

She looked up at Zhu You, who was "sound asleep," and carefully sat up, placing her hand on the edge of his animal skin skirt and pulling it down slightly.

The spiritual spring water has been completely absorbed. She needs to check her recovery progress to know how much spiritual spring water she needs next time.

The area where the scales were exposed was now visible; the pink scar was gone, replaced by new skin and flesh.

It is much thinner than the surrounding normal skin, and if you look closely, you can see tiny blood vessels.

The reverse scales had a faint bluish tint, like... the color of scales?

This discovery gave her a real eye-opener.

She couldn't help but reach out and touch it carefully with her fingertips.

It was a quick touch and then immediately removed; I didn't notice anything different.

She glanced at Zhu You, making sure his breathing was still steady and there was no sign of him waking up, and then tentatively pressed down on him again.

This time, I used a little more force, and beneath the soft skin, I could vaguely feel a slightly hardened outline.

Are they really scales?!

I wanted to touch it one more time to confirm, but my wrist was grabbed.

She shuddered in fright, looked up and met Zhu You's slightly narrowed eyes, which revealed a hint of "danger".

"Wanwan, what are you doing?"

"I...I want to see how you're recovering..."

She tried to pull her wrist back, but Zhu You didn't let go. Instead, he used a little force to pull her towards him.

"Is that so?" He used his other hand to tuck her hair behind her ear, his tone unhurried.

"What did you discover that night?"

"Your reverse scale!" The little female's eyes lit up. "It's hard under your skin, Zhuyou, your reverse scale is really going to grow back!"

She lay on top of him, earnestly instructing him not to use his beast form during this time, and to take good care of his newly grown scales.

He also said that once he is fully recovered, he will be the most powerful fourth-tier orc. When he finds the beast crystal, he will be able to upgrade to a half-king.

"And also, you weren't... um..."

Before he could finish speaking, Zhu You suddenly leaned closer.

As she took back the rest of her words, she subconsciously pursed her lips.

They were so close that she could even see the deep meaning in his eyes.

She felt like she hadn't said anything, right? Why did it feel like... he wanted to kiss her?

But those eyes are really beautiful...

Noticing that she was lost in thought, Zhu You tightened his arms and pulled her into his embrace.

"Wanwan, you're only allowed to think of me..."

Xu Wan's eyes crinkled into a smile. Wow, so domineering! She liked it.

"It's you I've been thinking about~"

Zhu You gently rubbed the back of her neck. "Wanwan, you'll always be with us, right?"
