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

"Are you still angry?"

The little female's lips drooped instantly, as if she was genuinely troubled by his emotions.

Bai Ye wanted to take advantage of the situation further, but she suddenly sat away.

"I think you need some peace and quiet. I'll eat first."

The man sitting to the side was stunned.

"Who is Jingjing?"

"Jingjing? She's my good friend."

He quickly grabbed her wrist, his tone revealing an urgency he himself was unaware of.

"I don't know any Jingjing, and I would never think about her! Little female, I only know you."

Xu Wan's laughter grew louder; she couldn't speak, she could only nod vigorously.

"Hahaha... I was just kidding, hahaha..."

Bai Ye laughed angrily, finally realizing that she had been tricked again.

He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back, drawing her into his arms from behind.

"You like playing with me that much?"

Too lazy to resist, she simply found a comfortable position in his arms and nodded as if it were the most natural thing in the world.

"Yeah, it's so funny to see you looking so silly."

"Yeah?"

He tilted his head and whispered in her ear, "There are other ways to make me stupid. Do you want to try them?"

"What is it?"

"..."

The warm breath acted like a catalyst, directly burning her ears until they were scorching hot.

She scrambled out of his arms in a flurry, then sat on the floor, too preoccupied to even eat.

"You, you...I, I..."

She opened and closed her mouth for a long time, but couldn't come up with the second half of the sentence.

If someone heard her say that, wouldn't she lose all her dignity?!

Bai Ye raised an eyebrow, as if he wasn't the one who had just said those words.

"Why are you so shy? Could it be...?"

He tilted his head to look at her, "Little female and your beastmen... haven't tried it?"

"white night!"

If she let him continue, she estimated she would die of embarrassment.

Just as I was about to shoo them away, I heard the sound of something falling to the ground outside.

The two men's expressions turned serious.

Bai Ye stood up and raised his hand to create a barrier around her.

"Don't move, I'm going out to check."

She nodded. "Be careful."

There are still unused fire lances in the space.

She put her hands behind her back, ready to face any sneak attack if anyone tried to ambush her.

But then they heard children's voices coming from outside.

She calmly put away the flaming gun, and Bai Ye brought a small child in from outside.

He looked about five or six years old, but appeared younger than four-year-old Ali.

He was clearly malnourished; I have no idea how his parents managed to raise him.

The little guy probably can't control his beast form yet.

His long, thin tail swayed behind him as he struggled.

In this way, the single tuft of hair at the tip of the tail looks like a cat toy.

Bai Ye pinched the back of his neck, "You little brat, eavesdropping here, have you got a death wish?"

"white night."

Xu Wan patted the barrier and gave him a disapproving look.

The little one looked in the direction of the sound, and the moment he saw her, his struggling stopped instantly, and his little face lit up with joy.

"It's the First Ancestor!"

"What?"

Two voices rang out at the same time. Bai Ye removed the barrier and dragged the person in front of her.

"Look closely, what ancestral sister? This is clearly my female master."

"No way! She's the First Ancestor, she'd never be the mistress of a villain like you!"

While the two, one big and one small, were arguing on the sidelines, her heart sank.

She had her suspicions as early as when she inquired about the system.

Noticing her pale face, Bai Ye put the cub he was holding on the ground. "Little female, what's wrong?"

She shook her head and saw that the little guy was already squatting in front of the stone pot, looking at her expectantly.

My mouth was practically watering, but I didn't reach out to grab it.

No one could refuse such a sensible and well-behaved little one. She served him a bowl, saying, "Be careful, it's hot."

The bowl was emptied as soon as he finished speaking.

The little one held the empty bowl in both hands, looked at the pot, and then at her.

"Then...another bowl, please?"

"Mmm!" The little one handed her the bowl. "Thank you, Ancestor Sister!"

Bai Ye quickly ladled out a bowl and placed it in front of her.

"Don't just feed him; how long have you gone without eating?"

She didn't rush to drink, but sat down in front of the little guy, as if chatting casually.

"Why do you call me Ancestor Sister? Have you ever met the Ancestor?"

"I've seen it before!" The little guy held the bowl, looking at her with bright eyes.

"There's a stone statue of you in Beast City. I heard them say that's the progenitor."

"impossible."

Bai Ye refuted first.

"I've been to Beast City many times, and I've never seen the stone statue you mentioned. This little brat can't even walk properly and he's already learned to lie?"

"I'm not lying!"

The little guy got angry, took his bowl, walked up to him, and looked up at him angrily.

"Yes, it exists, underground, and there are many people guarding it. You've definitely never been there!"

"I……"

Bai Ye opened his mouth, admitting that he had never been there.

"alright."

Xu Wan put down her bowl and waved to the little guy.

"What's your name?"

The little guy liked her a lot. "Ancestor Sister, my name is Yang Yan."

"Kagerou, if my sister asks you to lead the way for us, can you find the stone statue?"

Yang Yan nodded, "Yes! I can find it. Father says I'm very clever!"

His eyes reddened as if he were talking about something sad.

"Sister Ancestor, my father has disappeared. He said you sent him to do something very important. Can you bring him back?"

"Is it something important?"

Her heart skipped a beat; Zhuyou's father... had also disappeared in the same way.

Were these people really sent on orders from the progenitor?

What if someone had replaced the progenitor? Then what about the fathers of Zhuyou and Yangyan...? She dared not think any further.

Yang Yan hadn't had a full meal in a long time, and coupled with her body being in a constant state of tension, she felt sleepy very quickly once she relaxed.

Before Xu Wan could figure out how to answer, her knees sank and a little lion was already lying on her lap, fast asleep.

"Bai Ye, let's keep him with us."

"You want him to take you to the statue?"

Bai Ye looked at her, his tone carrying a subtle sharpness.

"And then what? Did you just throw it away somewhere?"

"How could that be?"

She stroked the lion cub's mane. "Once things are settled, of course I'll take him with me and raise him."

Why?

Bai Ye moved closer to her, as if testing the waters, or perhaps out of genuine curiosity.

"Once he leads us to the statue, he'll be useless, won't he? Why keep someone who's useless around?"

"white night."

She turned to look at him. "It's not only usefulness that allows someone to stay. Relationships between people are never based on just one condition: usefulness."

The system notification sounded as soon as he finished speaking.
