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

Inside the cave, Fox Jiu leaned against the stone wall with her eyes closed, her chest heaving, but the pain from before was gone, and her soft female voice replaced those sharp and piercing words.

"Fox Lake, Fox Lake..."

His name was called out by the female again and again, as if to wipe away the resentment in his heart.

He raised his hand to touch the scar on his face, muttering to himself, "Can it really... heal?"

But the next second, he seemed to see another version of himself, scarred and wounded, sneer at him, "Don't be silly! She's always been good with sweet talk. You've been bewitched just like Chen Shuang and the others, haven't you?"

"She's just a female with pitifully little spiritual power, Fox Spirit, and you actually believe what she says?"

He opened his eyes, his vision gradually clearing. He looked down at his palm, the image of him choking the female was still vivid in his mind, and a mocking smile slowly curved his lips.

"I almost... succeeded in killing her."

Footsteps approached, and as soon as he turned around, Chen Shuang grabbed his shoulder and pressed him to the ground. Chen Shuang looked wary. "Fox Spirit, what do you intend to do to Wanwan?"

"If I really wanted to do something, would you still be alive now?"

Fox Jiu chuckled softly, reverting to his usual nonchalant demeanor. "I just feel that it would be better to make her fall in love with me than to kill her."

As if remembering something, he smirked and looked at Chen Shuang defiantly, "Didn't she treat me the same way?"

"You bastard!"

Chen Shuang raised her hand and clenched it into a fist, about to swing it at Hu Jiu's face, but was stopped by Zhu You, "Chen Shuang, don't be impulsive."

"Hmph." He shook off Zhu You's arm and stood up, but his gaze remained fixed on Hu Jiu.

The voice wasn't loud, but it was loud enough for the other two to hear clearly: "Even if I'm only at level three, I won't let you bully her."

He looked at Zhu You, "You still owe Wanwan an apology. You two, stay away from her!"

After saying that, he turned and left. Hu Jiu looked at the bond mark on Zhu You's shoulder and said, "Chen Shuang is protecting her. She's the kind of person who never learns from her mistakes."

"Were you telling the truth just now?"

Which question are you asking?

Fox Spirit dusted off his hands and stood up, his tone still nonchalant. He glanced at Zhu You and said, "What I do is unimportant. But what about you? Do you really want to break the bond with her?"

Zhu You didn't speak, but her fingers twitched.

Noticing his subtle movement, Fox Jiu chuckled and tilted her head as she walked to his side, a hint of schadenfreude in her voice. "If you change your mind, won't that little female think you're deliberately tormenting her?"

Xu Wan didn't know what Zhu You was thinking. She ran to the riverbank in one go, scooped up water and poured it on her face.

It took several attempts before the heat on my face subsided a little.

"Phew, that scared me to death. I admit I'm lecherous, but I'm still innocent at heart."

Do you enjoy reading those innocent, low-brow stories on small websites?

"Tongzi, you...!" She coughed twice, choked by the words. "What I wrote was literary appreciation, not some trivial piece of writing."

I haven't had time to eat anything this morning, and my stomach is empty.

She hastily stuffed a diet pill into her mouth, and when she looked down and saw her reflection in the river, she froze.

Her face was still round and chubby, but the lines of her chin were much clearer, and her eyes looked bigger than before, with the shape of peach blossom eyes still faintly visible.

The excess fat around her waist has decreased, and the animal skin skirt she's wearing isn't as tight anymore.

She subconsciously touched her face, her heart skipping a beat.

I've lost weight, at least 30 pounds.

Most importantly, this face is 80% similar to her original appearance.

"It really seems like..." she murmured to herself, touching her face. "Is it just a coincidence?"

She squatted by the river, leaning forward, trying to get a clearer view.

But once the center of gravity shifts forward, the whole person loses balance.

"Ah!" she exclaimed, her hands flailing wildly in the air, but she caught nothing.

"Be careful!"

Her shoulders were gripped by a large hand, and she was pulled back, falling into a warm chest.

She bumped her head on the other person's chin, and the pain brought tears to her eyes.

"hiss……"

"Um……"

Two voices rang out simultaneously. Xu Wan tried to struggle to get up, but the other person held her even tighter. "Don't move, I..."

She froze.

The object pressed against the lower back is made all the more distinct by the "ready-to-eat" packaging of the animal skin skirt.

But the person who came was none other than Zhu You.

Her face instantly burned, her mind went blank, and she couldn't even breathe.

【Ahhh, Tongzi, it really is two, two, two…】

[Host, stay calm. Not only snakes, but mermaids are the same.]

Xu Wan was internally screaming: [Stop! Stop! Don't make these kinds of dirty jokes with me now!]

Little did Zhu You know, she now felt that she had nowhere to place her gaze.

If he couldn't see clearly last night, now, with the female facing away from him and held in front of him, he could see everything at a glance if he just looked down.

The tip of my nose smelled of her pleasant fragrance, and the tips of her ears turned red again.

He forced himself to turn his head away and start thinking about trivial things, trying to calm himself down as quickly as possible.

Where should we hunt today? How should we cook the food we catch? What does the female like to eat...? No use! My mind is full of her.

Xu Wan's voice was soft, tinged with nervousness and urgency, "Are you... are you done yet?"

What was meant as a polite inquiry came across to him as her unwillingness to have any physical contact with him whatsoever.

His heart, which had been in turmoil since last night, felt like it was filled with weeds, making it hard for him to breathe.

He closed his eyes, but the hand around the other person's waist tightened involuntarily.

Xu Wan whispered, "Zhu...Zhu You..."

"Why can't I do it?" he heard himself ask in a hoarse voice.

Zhu You's warm breath brushed against Xu Wan's neck, causing a slight itch.

She couldn't help but shrink back, only to be met with an even tighter hug from behind.

"Why?" His voice was muffled, as if something was pressing down on it. "You can go and hug Fox Spirit, why won't you interact with me?"

"I was the one who approached you first, wasn't I?"

Xu Wan opened her mouth, "I..."

[Host, this is a great opportunity! If you coax him a little, his favorability rating might just drop below -70!]

"I..." She opened her mouth, her index finger and thumb unconsciously rubbing together, still not wanting to lie to him, "Zhu You, it's you who has never believed me."

"Chen Shuang is simple-minded; his likes and dislikes are written all over his face. Hu Jiu doesn't trust me, and what he did was just to vent his dissatisfaction. I was in the wrong first, so I try not to take anything he says to heart."

"But you're different." Her voice faltered slightly as she turned to look at him.

"Zhuyou, I don't understand what you're thinking. Every time I think you'll allow me to get closer, you become wary of me. But when I try to distance myself from you, you do things to protect me."

"It was your choice to dissolve the contract. Once you've made the decision, don't go back on your word, and don't treat me hot and cold."

Her voice lowered, trembling almost imperceptibly, "I...can't accept you like this."

"What if I change my mind?"

Xu Wan was taken aback. "What did you say?"

"I said, if I change my mind, I don't want to break off the contract with you." He looked at her, her image reflected in his eyes, and continued softly, "Would you agree?"
