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

"Yes, I know." Zhu You paused, then added, "I believe you."

"There's nothing you can do even if you don't believe me." Xu Wan's tone was calm, simply stating the facts. "Consider it your way of repaying me. I will continue to release you from the contract tomorrow, and I won't go back on my word."

She wouldn't erase all her previous grievances just because of someone's word of trust. Once there's a rift between people, it's impossible to go back to square one immediately.

The box of the skin-regenerating ointment was opened, releasing a faint fragrance. Xu Wan scooped out a piece with her index finger, applied it, and glanced at Zhu You before saying, "Bear with it."

After saying that, she no longer hesitated and gently applied the ointment to his wound.

Soft, warm fingertips brushed against his wound, and the unique fragrance of a female mixed with the scent of grass kept wafting into Zhu You's nose.

Noticing his breathing had become heavier, Xu Wan looked up. "Is it already working? Does it hurt a lot?"

She hadn't even finished applying it, and the system's products were so good?

Actually not.

Compared to the pain of having one's scales ripped out and the unbearable agony of a wound that takes so long to heal, this pain is completely negligible.

But thinking of the day she applied medicine to Chen Shuang and sang to comfort him, Zhu You didn't know what she was thinking. She grabbed her wrist, lowered her eyes, and spoke in a voice that was incredibly soft.

"...It hurts, could you...apply the medicine like you did for Chen Shuang?"

Xu Wan looked up at him for a long time, not knowing whether Zhu You was too tolerant or he was lying to her, because there was no uncomfortable expression on his face.

Well, at least she can get some life points from contacting them, so she's not losing out no matter how you look at it.

Squatting was too tiring, so she simply tore off a piece of animal skin, placed it on the ground, sat down, took Zhu You's hand, closed her eyes, and softly hummed her favorite light music.

Unbeknownst to her, Zhu You's brows slowly relaxed, and his feminine voice, like a stream, soothed his tense nerves.

The medicine applied to the wound was more potent than expected.

A warmth gradually spread from the scar, mixed with increasing pain, which then turned into a dull ache. Each pain felt like flesh being torn apart and then healed, as if something was growing under the skin.

It felt like going back to the day his rebellious scales were plucked, but even more painful than before. This time, however, there was no harsh laughter from the females, only soothing songs.

He didn't want to break the current peaceful atmosphere, so he gritted his teeth and endured it.

But the fine sweat on his forehead gradually turned into beads of sweat that slid down his face, and more and more of them appeared.

His grip on the female's wrist gradually weakened, and his body trembled more and more violently.

"Well……"

Hearing his muffled groan, Xu Wan looked up and was startled by his deathly pale appearance. "Zhu You, are you alright?"

"I...I'm fine..." Zhu You forced a smile to comfort her, "The Reverse Scale is the most vulnerable spot for snake-type beastmen, and their senses are much more sensitive than other spots. Once you get through this, you'll be fine."

"How come you're alright?"

Xu Wan wasn't stupid. Seeing Zhu You in so much pain that even her breathing became weak, she couldn't pretend not to care.

[Host, he is not in mortal danger.]

We can't just stand by and watch.

She wasn't the original owner of this body, so she didn't have the inclination to enjoy watching others suffer.

【Shuko, what should I do?】

[Host, mobilize your mental energy and combine it with your soothing voice ability to lessen his suffering.]

Hearing the system say this, she disregarded everything else, got up and knelt behind Zhu You, reached out and wrapped her arms around his shoulders and neck, and used her supernatural abilities and mental power as much as possible to turn her voice into a tranquilizer.

Unbeknownst to her, the moment she did this, her entire body radiated a pale blue light; if she had seen it, she would probably have been startled.

The female voice relieved most of Zhuyou's pain, and he stared in disbelief at the scene before him.

Previously, females had weak mental power and disliked males' sexual activity. But now, Xu Wan's casual humming could soothe even a fourth-tier beastman like him. This was something that mental power could not achieve.

Zhu You's pupils contracted slightly, and her breath hitched: It's a superpower. Besides mental power, she actually has a superpower?

He suddenly thought of that day at the Virgin Mary's residence, when he felt the same way, unable to stop himself from wanting to hear her voice, wanting her to call his name.

So it turned out that so long ago... At this moment, Zhu You was certain that the little female in front of him had indeed become another person.

A female who cares about them, feels sorry for them, and cherishes them.

He couldn't help but hug the other person tighter, afraid that everything he was feeling was just a dream.

"Wanwan...don't go..."

[Host, Zhu You's favorability has increased by fifteen points and is still rising!]

Listening to the system's announcement, Xu Wan's mind was in complete turmoil.

Zhu You's approach had stirred her heart, but his distrust and insistence on breaking the bond and distancing himself from her also broke her heart.

Xu Wan felt at most a slight attraction to them; her thoughts on relationships were very pure and traditional.

She hadn't experienced much love, but she knew that if you lose your dignity and bottom line, that's not love, that's self-degradation.

Therefore, she respected Zhuyou's thoughts, was willing to break the contract with him, and give him freedom.

She wasn't someone who would easily waver in her decisions. She was also afraid of being hurt if she gave her heart away. She was timid and afraid of death, but now... she didn't know what to do.

"Tongzi, what do you think is the right thing to do?"

[Host, follow your heart. Whatever you choose is right, and I will always support you.]

【you're right.】

Xu Wan smiled and focused on continuing to comfort Zhu You.

She used nearly two-thirds of her mental energy and supernatural abilities to barely calm the person down.

When she withdrew her mental energy, her head was spinning, her vision blurred, and her ears were ringing.

I thought I was going to faint again, but it just went black for a while and then I slowly returned to normal.

"Wanwan, are you alright?" Zhu You sat down behind her at some point, letting her lean against him.

Xu Wan shook her head, looked down at his wound, and said, "Let go, let me see how it is?"

Zhu You loosened her grip on the animal skin skirt, revealing her wounds still covered in ointment.

The pink wound has healed. The area where the scar was was much thinner than the surrounding normal skin, and if you look closely, you can still see the tiny blood vessels.

Zhu You looked at it in disbelief. This was the most vulnerable spot of the snake-clan beastmen, and he knew better than anyone how difficult it was to heal. But now, not only was it healed, it was slowly recovering.

"It really is... healed."

Xu Wan was even more excited than him, hugging Zhu You's neck and shouting with joy. If she hadn't not yet regained her original figure, she would have wanted to dance with him again.

"Ahhh! It really works!"

Zhu You was infected by her smile and couldn't help but bend down, touching foreheads together, looking at Xu Wan with a smile in her eyes, "Yes, it's all thanks to Wanwan."

"Wanwan, thank you."
