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

When Xu Wan heard the system's announcement, she was stunned for a moment and turned her head to look at Zhu You behind her.

Noticing her gaze, he nuzzled the crook of her neck. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

She shook her head. "I just feel like you've changed a lot. You insisted on breaking the bond with me a few days ago."

Zhu You paused for a moment, then lowered his head and gently bit her earlobe, then touched it soothingly with the tip of his tongue.

"Yeah, that's why Wanwan disliked me back then."

Xu Wan looked down at the ground, her voice so soft it seemed it would be blown away by the wind.

"Actually, I don't dislike it..."

Her voice was so soft that even Zhu You couldn't hear it clearly.

But I also vaguely sensed that she was speaking from the heart.

"What did Wanwan say?"

He asked softly, not forcing her to answer, but just wanting to confirm once more.

Xu Wan did not answer.

She turned around, took his hand, and said, "Let's go to the forest today."

She's getting a little tired of eating meat every day; if she's lucky, she might discover some other foods.

"No." Zhu You frowned. "There are many wild animals there. If Wanwan wants to go, she should wait for Chen Shuang and the others to return."

She took his hand and shook it, her blue eyes sparkling, her voice incredibly soft.

"I'll just look around at the entrance, okay?"

"Are you sure they'll stay near the entrance and won't wander off?"

"Uh-huh!"

Xu Wan nodded vigorously.

She's just a weakling with less than 36 hours of life points; she wouldn't risk her life.

"Come on up, I'll take you there."

Zhu You transformed into beast form and lowered his snake head, gesturing for her to sit on it.

This was the third time Xu Wan had seen his beast form.

Thinking of the idea she hadn't been able to accomplish last time, she touched his scales and pressed her face against them.

It was cool and refreshing, and it chased away the stuffiness all over my body.

She couldn't help but hug herself tightly, rubbing her face against the scales.

"Ah, this feels so good!"

Zhu You's voice came close to her ear, carrying a hint of seduction.

"If Wanwan likes it, I'll hold you while we sleep until the cold season comes, okay?"

This time she was smarter; she let go and poked at his scales.

"No, I want to sleep by myself after your heat cycle is over."

"Are you sure, Wanwan?" The snake nuzzled against her face. "Chen Shuang and Hu Jiu are also waiting for my heat to end."

"Who will you sleep with while Wanwan sleeps?"

Hearing his teasing tone, Xu Wan snorted and climbed up to his snake body.

"We'll talk about that later. Now, let's head into the forest!"

"Okay." She didn't ask any further questions. "Hold on tight, Wanwan."

Zhu You moved quickly and steadily, and Xu Wan could hardly feel any bumps while sitting on his back.

As he lifted her down, she caught a glimpse of the edge of his animal skin skirt out of the corner of her eye.

The system said that males generally have good recovery ability, and that applying the muscle-regenerating cream once every two days is sufficient.

But she still wanted to ask, "Zhuyou, how is your wound healing?"

"It's much better now. Traveling in beast form doesn't hurt as much."

"Really? You're not lying to me."

actually not.

The reverse scale is used to protect that area.

Before the wounds heal, the animal skin skirt will be stained with blood everywhere, attracting many wild animals.

The more pain you experience, the more numb your senses become.

But now it's different. The wound on the reverse scale has healed, leaving a scar, and it's still a little itchy.

Once the pain from the wound is gone, other sensations become more pronounced.

Especially when he was traveling in his beast form, the friction he felt in the area where his reverse scale was hidden caused him great "torture".

The longing brought about by this "torture" will reach its peak when you see Xu Wan.

It also made him want to hold her hand and ask her for more.

He used to always have fantasies.

When can a female's eyes show any tenderness, even just a little? That's enough for him to deceive himself.

But now, seeing the worry in the little female's eyes, he couldn't bear to let her know.

"Yes, really."

He bent down, leaned close to her, and whispered, "Wanwan's worried, why don't you take a look with your own eyes?"

"This time, I promise I won't block it."

Xu Wan blushed at his words, quickly looked away, and casually pointed in a direction.

"Let's go there."

After saying that, she walked quickly forward, as if afraid that he would catch up with her.

Zhu You stood there, watching her flee in disarray, shook his head with a smile, and followed after her.

He followed behind her, always keeping her in his sight.

Xu Wan was lucky; she found mushrooms after walking only a few steps.

With a systematic encyclopedia at her fingertips, she was naturally no longer afraid of "eating the umbrella and ending up lying on the board" happening again.

But when she turned around, she found Zhu You looking at her with a complicated expression.

"Wanwan?"

His voice was very soft, as if he was afraid of startling her.

Xu Wan blinked, somewhat puzzled, "What's wrong?"

"Isn't that... a fallen plant in your hand?"

"yes."

She glanced down and belatedly realized that when she transmigrated, the original owner of this body had died from eating poisonous mushrooms.

It's very abnormal that your first reaction to something that once took your life isn't to stay away from it.

But... roasted mushrooms sprinkled with cumin powder are really delicious.

Xu Wan swallowed hard, not wanting to miss the delicious food that was about to be tasted.

"Zhuyou, when I last met the Ancestor, she taught me a lot."

Her voice trailed off as she spoke, "If I told you, one of the ways to tell if a dead plant is poisonous... would you believe me?"

She wanted to hit herself twice as soon as she said it.

If you're going to lie, at least be more certain. If you don't even believe it yourself, how could Zhuyou possibly believe it?

I believe you.

Xu Wan nodded. "I knew you wouldn't believe me... What?"

She looked at him in disbelief. "You really believe that?"

"Hmm." He walked up to her, squatted down, and hugged her tightly.

"I believe whatever Wanwan says." As long as she doesn't suddenly disappear.

He didn't say the second half of the sentence.

She would never see the relief in his eyes when he was certain that she was still herself.

He wasn't afraid she would get the poisonous fallen grass, but rather that she would turn back into her former female form.

At this moment, Zhu You felt that asking for clarification was no longer important.

As long as she's by his side, he doesn't need to ask where she comes from or why she knows so much.

Xu Wan didn't know why he suddenly became like this. She raised her hand and patted his back, speaking softly.

"Then could you pick some for me to take back? We can grill them tonight, okay?"

"Um."

Zhu You learns things very quickly. She only mentioned a few key points for identifying mushrooms, and he picked out all the edible ones.

But she soon ran into another problem.

She came to the forest on a whim, without bringing any baskets or anything like that.

Mushrooms are fine, but what if there are other things? How are they going to bring them back?

If she were alone, she could use the system space, but Zhu You is still here...

Noticing that there was no movement behind her, Zhu You turned around. "Wanwan, what's wrong?"

"...How are we going to bring all this back?"

"That's easy."

Zhu You stood up, looked around, jumped onto the tree, and pulled out a few vines.

With a flick of the fingers, a simple basket quickly took shape.

After he hoisted the basket onto his back, she snapped out of her daze and exclaimed in delight, "Zhuyou, you're amazing!"
