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

Zhu You curled up in a semi-circle on her animal skin bed.

It must have intentionally controlled the size of its beast form, otherwise it would probably have taken up half of the cave.

The bluish-black scales are arranged neatly, like carefully polished jade.

Looking down, the only thing missing is the reverse scale, which is blocked by the snake's tail, making it look somewhat out of place.

Xu Wan wanted to reach out and remove the snake's tail to examine the wound's healing process, but Zhu You refused.

"Wanwan, stop watching."

She thought he was afraid she would say it was ugly, but even after she explained, Zhu You still wouldn't let her see it.

"Wanwan..." Zhuyou's voice grew softer and softer, and if you listened carefully, you could hear a hint of embarrassment.

"Wanwan, what lies hidden beneath the snake clan's dark side, do you really not know?"

Hearing him say that, Xu Wan was stunned for a moment.

The location of the wound, the Achilles' heel...

The image of Zhu You holding her by the river flashed through her mind.

She suddenly became so nervous that she could barely speak, "I...I'm not watching anymore, you...you get some rest, I'll go first..."

Just as she turned around to run, a snake's tail wrapped around her waist, pulling her backward and against a warm body.

She could feel a slight chill at her waist, while behind her she felt the scorching heat of Zhu You's breath. The contrast between the cold and the hot breath mirrored the constant tug-of-war and stimulation of her current rationality.

"Wanwan..."

Zhu You called out even more tenderly than when she was applying the medicine, as if they had been in love for a long time and this was nothing out of the ordinary.

Looking at Zhu You, whose upper body had returned to human form, Xu Wan momentarily lost her mind, "...A half-demon?"

He wasn't that he didn't hear clearly, he just didn't understand what the little female meant by "half-demon".

But if he wanted to keep her, he naturally had to take the initiative.

"Hmm? What did Wanwan say?"

Zhu You tilted her head and nuzzled the crook of her neck. "Are you scared looking like this?"

Xu Wan shook her head.

She wasn't scared; in fact, she thought that if she had the chance, she'd love to sleep with Zhuyou in her arms.

The scales are cool and refreshing; they're definitely better than an air conditioner.

Hearing this, Zhu You's eyes brightened, and her hand, which had been hanging by her side, twitched. "Then, Wanwan, can you hug me?"

"Like you comforted me just now."

The second half of the sentence was spoken very softly, and Xu Wan almost didn't hear it.

She didn't respond, and Zhu You thought she was unwilling. He lowered his eyes in disappointment, but then he saw her turn around and open her arms to hug him.

"...Wanwan?"

He could hardly believe it until she gave a soft "hmm," then he slowly raised his arms and hugged her tightly.

The snake's tail swayed idly behind it, as if it were in a good mood.

The cave gradually darkened, and for a moment, apart from the two people's breathing, there was nothing else.

The aroma of meat broth wafted in from outside. Xu Wan rubbed her stomach. "Zhu You, I'm hungry."

He hummed in agreement, but didn't loosen his grip.

Sensing that Zhu You's breathing was gradually calming down, Xu Wan gently poked his arm. "Zhu You, I'm really hungry. Shall we go out to eat together?"

"Oh, and bring the meat you marinated last time, I'll grill it for you guys."

During the snake clan craze, he would show signs of loss of appetite; he would rather spend time alone with Xu Wan than eat.

But hearing the rumbling in her stomach, he let go, and before completely releasing her, he lowered his head and gently bit the little female's neck.

Xu Wan subconsciously shrank her neck, "Zhu...Zhu You..."

Looking at the mark on her neck, Zhu You felt a sense of satisfaction. He retracted his snake tail, transformed into human form, and stood in front of her.

"Wanwan, the snake clan's peak season will last a long time. Tonight... can I sleep with you?"

Xu Wan's ears turned slightly red, and she almost bit her tongue as she spoke, "Sleep...sleep what? What sleep? I don't understand what you're saying..."

A soft laugh came from behind her. Zhu You held her hand, bent down slightly and whispered in her ear, his tone slightly teasing.

"Wanwan, I just wanted to hold you while I slept. What are you thinking?"

"N-nothing!" Xu Wan's face turned completely red. She slapped Zhu You's hand away and quickly walked out.

Hearing the muffled laughter behind her, she quickened her pace.

Hmph, they all love teasing her, they're so mean!

Unbeknownst to her, after she left, Hu Jiu appeared at the cave entrance. He looked at Zhu You and gave a mocking smile.

"It seems you've decided to believe her too."

"Yes," Zhu You replied without hesitation.

He wanted to tell her about how Xu Wan had used her supernatural abilities to comfort him, but considering Hu Jiu's current attitude, he swallowed his words.

It's impossible for females to possess superpowers.

He cannot risk gamble with Xu Wan's safety until he is certain that Hu Jiu has completely changed his attitude towards Xu Wan.

Before stepping out of the cave, he patted Fox Jiu on the shoulder and said earnestly, "She is indeed not the same female she used to be. I hope you won't do anything you'll regret."

Fox Jiu touched the scar on his face. Regret? He would truly regret not killing the female.

However… he turned around and looked at the female outside the cave who was laughing and playing with Chen Shuang, a slight smile playing on his lips.

"You even forgave Zhuyou after she had her wrath taken. My... good mistress, I'm getting more and more curious about you now."

[Host, Fox Spirit and Candlelight's favorability has increased by four and sixteen points respectively, with their latest favorability ratings at -85 and -45.]

He got promoted?

Xu Wan raised her head and looked at Zhu You, who was carrying beast meat and walking over. Not far away, Hu Jiu was standing outside the cave, his expression unreadable.

[Sigh, I really want to activate the spirit spring water, otherwise I always feel like there's a knife called Fox Spring hanging over my head.]

[Host, I have a complete guide to positions here, would you like it?]

Xu Wan rolled her eyes at it in her mind: [Tch, is that a proper position?]

One person and one system resumed their daily verbal sparring, so much so that they didn't notice that Chen Shuang and Zhu You were sizing her up.

"Wanwan?"

Chen Shuang wanted to call her, but Zhu You stopped him and shook her head. "She doesn't seem to be just spacing out. Let's wait a bit."

[Host, the beastmen seem to be watching you.]

After saying this, the system immediately went invisible.

Xu Wan mentally cursed the system for being disloyal. When she came to her senses and met the eyes of the two people, she pretended to be stupid and laughed it off.

"Why are you all looking at me? I'm starting a fire so I can grill some meat for you."

"Wanwan, what you just did..."

Zhu You interrupted him, "Chen Shuang, do you have the flint? Come and start a fire."

"Oh, here it comes."

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, Xu Wan felt a sense of relief.

She thought to herself that next time she talked to the system, she would have to make it pay attention to its surroundings, otherwise it would definitely die a terrible death if it found out that she was not the original owner.

Xu Wan sighed as she glanced at her remaining eighteen hours of health.

"System, the health points are rising way too slowly. Is there any way to increase them?"

She was anxious every day because she was worried about not having enough money in her bank account!

[Host, I have some missions here that involve contacting the characters you're interested in. Would you like to give them a try?]

"Hmm? What mission? Tell me quickly!"
