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

Xu Wan stared at him for two seconds, then laughed in exasperation.

"Zhuyou, are you playing me?" She pulled his hand away, stood up, and looked down at him. "Do you think breaking the contract is child's play?"

"You think you can solve it whenever you want, and not solve it whenever you don't? Did you even ask what I thought?"

She took a deep breath. "You don't regret it. You're just unwilling to accept that you didn't receive the same care I showed to Chen Shuang and Hu Jiu."

"I'm telling you, even if you change your mind, I've decided to break off the contract with you!"

After saying that, she turned and left angrily.

Zhu You remained alone by the river. He looked at his palm, where a trace of feminine warmth still lingered.

He slowly clenched his fist, but couldn't hold onto anything.

********Divider Line********

It wasn't until Xu Wan finished lunch that Zhu You's figure came into view.

[Host, that tactic of feigning retreat was brilliant! Zhu You's favorability rating has increased by 9 points from -76!]

Xu Wan played with the flint expressionlessly, thinking: This person ignores me when I try to coax him, but his cold face actually increases my favorability... Could he have some kind of peculiar fetish?

As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she glanced at the other person a few times. Hmm, she couldn't tell.

"Chief, is it possible for the reverse scale to regenerate?"

[Host, the Regenerating Ointment from the System Shop can regenerate skin and flesh, but to fully restore the Reverse Scales, you'll probably still need Spirit Spring Water.]

Xu Wan opened the system panel. She had just had contact with the three beastmen, and her health points had increased by nearly three hours.

Xu Wan thought she could exchange her 666 points for more items, but even the cheapest healing potion cost 300 points. She laughed angrily, "You heartless system, this is fraud!"

Xu Wan's eyes darted around. "Wait, if I exchange for it, won't my life points be deducted too?"

Not now.

"...That's what will happen in the future?!"

Insufficient permissions to answer.

She felt she should find some time to chat with the system about traditional Chinese culture.

Xu Wan trembled as she clutched her dwindling life points. She didn't even have a day left, and she didn't dare to sleep too soundly!

"Sigh, the expenses now are for greater returns in the future." She gritted her teeth and exchanged a box of skin-regenerating cream from the mall.

She had originally planned to replace the scar removal cream for Chen Shuang as well, but unfortunately, she only had 100 yuan left in her account, so she could only save up some more.

Xu Wan sat on a rock, holding the skin-regenerating ointment, her face full of worry.

"Sigh, how am I going to explain this to Zhuyou? What if he thinks I'm trying to harm him, and my favorability towards him drops instead of increasing? Wouldn't that be a net loss for me?"

She can drink the broth herself, but she can't really cut herself open to save this scar, can she?

[Host, you can use this on Chen Shuang. It's much more effective than scar removal cream, but it hurts quite a bit when it takes effect.]

"Are you sure I won't get strangled to death by those two?"

"Ugh, what am I supposed to do?"

She frantically grabbed her hair, oblivious to the approaching footsteps behind her.

"What are you doing?"

The sudden sound startled her. She turned around and saw Zhu You standing behind her.

His tone wasn't as cold as before; it even carried a hint of cautious goodwill. "What do you want to do? I can take you there."

Xu Wan looked up at him, and the awkward feeling in her heart suddenly turned into the thought of testing him.

"I've found a medicine that will make your sore spot even more painful, and I'm thinking of having you try it to see how it goes."

She shook the wooden box in her hand. "How about it? Scared yet?"

"……Can."

"Hmph, I knew you'd believe that... What?"

Xu Wan thought she had misheard and asked again in disbelief. When she heard Zhu You say it was okay again, she was completely stunned.

"Are you crazy? I said this medicine will only make you suffer more, didn't you understand?"

"I understand." His reply was calm, and before Xu Wan could react, he knelt down on one knee in front of her.

"Whatever it is." He raised his head, his blue eyes showing no defensiveness, only seriousness. "I am willing to accept punishment for my previous distrust."

"Even if I were to make you go through the pain of having your Achilles' heel pulled again?"

Zhu You's hand, hanging on the ground, tightened, as if she had made a decision.

He looked directly into her eyes, his voice soft yet striking deep into Xu Wan's heart, "Yes."

Xu Wan's heart skipped a beat.

She instinctively tried to pull her hand away, but when she met his blue, jade-like eyes, she fell silent.

"You, you get up first."

The candle remained still.

She nudged his shoulder with her other hand, her tone somewhat awkward, "I... I agree, please get up..."

Zhu You then stood up, but didn't let go of her hand, and led her into the cave.

He didn't tell Xu Wan that he was also gambling.

In the past, the females would only give them orders forcefully, without caring about their thoughts at all. The more pain they were in, the bigger the smile on the females' faces would be.

But just now, while she was saying harsh words, she repeatedly asked him what he thought, and there was not a trace of cruelty in her blue eyes.

So, he decided to trust her this once.

If the female is lying to him, he will wait until the contract is broken and never appear in front of her again. If not... he doesn't want to break the contract. He wants the female to be as close to him as she was to Chen Shuang.

"What do you need me to do?"

Xu Wan patted the person next to her, "Sit down and take off your clothes."

Zhu You was stunned. If the female hadn't repeatedly emphasized that she didn't want to be his partner, he would have been deluding himself.

"Hurry up, you're dawdling!"

Xu Wan seemed to have run out of patience, so she simply reached out and pulled down Zhu You's animal skin skirt.

Men's clothes are only for covering their bodies, how can they withstand her pulling them so hard?

Seeing that he was about to see something he shouldn't if he kept pulling, he hurriedly grabbed the female's hand, his ears turning bright red, "I...I can do it myself."

Xu Wan blinked, and thinking of the silhouette she had felt by the river, her face flushed. She quickly let go of him and stood to the side with her back to him, unable to speak properly.

"I...I didn't mean anything by it..."

"I know."

Zhu You took a deep breath and sat down on the edge of the bed. She untied the belt of her animal skin skirt, covered her waistband with one hand, and carefully pulled it down with the other.

Whether from nervousness or shyness, his fingers trembled slightly, and it took him several tugs to pull the animal skin skirt down to the right position.

Some herbs were applied near the pubic bone. After cleaning it, a wound that showed no signs of healing was revealed.

"Okay, okay..." He turned his head away, not daring to look at her.

Xu Wan turned around, her gaze immediately drawn to the wound, and she inwardly gasped.

The original owner was really ruthless. If she were Zhu You, she would have killed him long ago.

At this moment, Xu Wan no longer wanted to lie to him. "Zhu You, this medicine will help your wounds heal, but I'm sorry, I need some time before the reverse scales can grow back."

"This medicine will hurt a lot, but I promise it won't harm you at all."
