It was the warm season, and Zhu You's embrace was a little cool, so Xu Wan couldn't help but snuggle closer to him.

He tightened his arms, trying to slow his breathing as much as possible, and desperately suppressed the ambiguous images in his mind.

But the little female kept burrowing into his arms, and his nose was filled with her sweet fragrance.

"Wanwan..." He lowered his head and kissed the tip of her ear, his voice hoarse, "Don't move..."

Her body seemed to stiffen for a moment, and she didn't respond, but her breathing became noticeably faster.

Zhu You listened to her rapid heartbeat and chuckled softly, "Wanwan, are you nervous?"

After a while, the little female nudged his shoulder with her head, her voice muffled, "...Wanwan is asleep, don't talk to her."

Okay, I won't say.

He rolled over and straddled her, slowly lowering himself, his breath tickling her ear, "Shall we do something else?"

Xu Wan covered her mouth as her soft earlobe was gently bitten, afraid that the strange sound would be leaked out.

Her body trembled slightly, but she didn't push him away. Seeing her like this, Zhu You's breathing became heavier.

The comfort gained from hugs alone was no longer enough to quell the restlessness during the peak of the craze.

He turned his head and tentatively kissed her neck, then her chin, slowly moving upwards towards his final destination.

Unfortunately, his hand was blocked by the little female's hand, so he could only kiss the back of her hand.

"Wanwan..."

He held her wrist and gently pecked the back of her hand again and again. "Wanwan, I want to kiss you..."

Xu Wan covered her mouth and shook her head, her eyes tightly closed, afraid that she would soften her heart if she saw the longing in those blue eyes.

Physiological tears slid down the corners of my eyes and were gently kissed away by Zhu You.

"Wanwan, don't be afraid." His voice softened. "I won't do anything."

As he spoke, he lay back down on the animal skin bed, pulled her into his arms, and patted her back a few times to comfort her.

"Sweetie, go to sleep."

The pats were gentle, with just the right amount of force, as if they carried a calming rhythm.

Her eyelids gradually grew heavy, and her curled-up hands unconsciously loosened a little.

Hearing her even breathing, Zhu You stopped what he was doing, lowered his head and kissed her forehead.

"snort."

A dissatisfied snort came from the cave entrance, "When I'm in heat, I'll definitely let Wanwan hold me while I sleep."

"Just sleeping while cuddling?" Fox Spirit smirked. "You're really quite content. Why don't you just get officially together?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Shuang's ears immediately perked up, and her tail wagged back and forth.

"That's right, then I'll be Wanwan's number one beast husband, and you'll all have to listen to me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a small pebble struck the back of his hand with pinpoint accuracy. It didn't hurt, but it made him stand up instantly.

"Shut up." Zhu You's voice came from inside the cave. "If you wake Wanwan, I'll beat you up."

"Tch, why should I listen to you?"

Despite saying that, Chen Shuang lay back down on the ground, even softening her voice considerably.

Fox Jiu didn't speak. His gaze turned into the cave and landed on the little female who was sleeping soundly on the animal skin bed.

In the past, she would have used the height of her passion to force Zhuyou to kneel at her feet and beg for her comfort.

Then, taking advantage of his most disheveled moment, they whipped him repeatedly while laughing out loud.

But not only did she not do that, she was also willing to comfort Zhu You and let him hold her while she slept, without taking the opportunity to do anything.

Zhu You only knew that he used the Illusion Charm on the female, but he didn't know that this ability would amplify the darkest malice in the other person's heart.

Its effects are not limited to those who create illusions.

Therefore, she genuinely never intended to hurt any of them.

His tail swayed behind him, gradually synchronizing with his heartbeat.

Zhu You was right; he had long since given up the idea of ​​killing her after much hesitation.

His so-called harsh words were nothing more than a pretense, a way for him to no longer easily believe anything.

He finally found a reason to let go of his hatred.

Fox Jiu looked up at the moonlight; for him, tonight was destined to be a sleepless night.

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

Xu Wan had the best sleep she'd had in days.

When he woke up, none of the three beastmen were there.

She stretched and lay on the animal skin bed, casually opening the system panel to check their favorability rating.

Her fingers paused. "This...this is a bug, isn't it?"

On the panel, Fox Jiu's favorability rating jumped from -80 to -30.

[Commander! Commander, come quick! Am I seeing things?]

[Host, you read that right. Fox Spirit used an illusion to test you last night. Since you didn't harm him, your favorability rating naturally increased.]

"Testing the waters?" She paused, touching the tip of her nose. "I thought he was trying to win favor with his looks..."

[Host, I believe you need to improve your sense of crisis.]

Yes, yes.

She casually agreed, scrolled down to the health bar, and then sat up abruptly.

"Aaaaah! Thirty-six hours!" She wanted nothing more than to jump out of bed and leap a few more times. "System, I've finally made something of myself! I can live one more day!"

[Host, you're making yourself sound like you have a miserable life by saying that.]

"Oh, so you noticed too?"

She wiped away non-existent tears from the corner of her eye, sighed deeply, and said, "Do you know how anxious I am, barely clinging to life with only a single-digit health bar every day?"

"Sigh, is it because I'm not good enough? It's because you're not up to par, System."

The system, which had no intention of accepting its host's manipulation tactics, silently increased the drop rate of treasure chests to keep her quiet and satisfied.

As Xu Wan got up and walked out of the cave, she was surprised to find that Hu Jiu was the one who made breakfast today.

"Fox Spirit? What are you doing here?"

Hearing her voice, Fox Jiu didn't turn around and continued roasting the meat in front of him.

"Chen Shuang and Zhu You have gone hunting. Mistress, please wait a little longer; we'll be ready to eat soon."

"Um."

Xu Wan stared at his back for a while, but Hu Jiu didn't turn around.

Seeing that he was still not comfortable in public, Xu Wan didn't approach him again. "I'll go for a walk nearby and come back in a bit."

As soon as I took a step, my ankle was wrapped around something warm and soft.

Looking down, I saw it was Fox Jiu's tail.

"My lady, do you not like seeing me?"

"Of course not!" she quickly explained, "I'm just worried that you're not used to seeing other people outside."

"But the female master is no one else to me."

Fox Jiu threw a piece of wood into the fire without turning around, but its tail remained wrapped around her ankle, showing no sign of letting go.

"Would you please stay here with me, mistress?"

After seeing Hu Jiu's uninjured face, Xu Wan could already imagine how disappointed that beautiful face would be if she refused.

No, she couldn't do anything to hurt a handsome guy!

"accompany!"

She sat on the ground, looking down at the tail at her ankle.

It's a beautiful fiery red, like the color of a sunset cloud, with a tuft of white at the tip of its tail, and its fur is soft and shiny.

I really want to touch it...

"The mistress can touch me whenever she wants."

When Hu Jiu's smiling voice rang out, Xu Wan realized that she had just spoken her true feelings aloud.

It pushed its tail towards her a little, as if to say, "My lady, I'd like you to touch my tail too~"
