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

"Ugh...no..."

Xu Wan never imagined that a simple kiss would be so tiring.

Finally, I regained some consciousness when my arm almost slipped off Fox Jiu's body because I had lost all strength.

He might actually take advantage of their infatuation and throw her animal skin skirt onto the shore, thus destroying any remaining reason in her.

Thinking about this, Xu Wan felt a little uncomfortable.

It's not that I'm obsessed with a kiss.

I just feel that this kind of thing should happen when things are going naturally and both parties are willing.

But what Hu Jiu did could be called, to put it nicely, being unable to control his emotions; to put it bluntly, it was taking advantage of someone in distress.

Perhaps hot water has a muscle-relaxing effect.

She tried to stand on the bank and, finding that she could, pointed to the bank and told him to go out first.

"Wanwan, let me hold you..."

"No." She shook her head, covering the collar of her fur coat and shrinking back.

"Get out, turn around, and don't look back."

Fox Jiu glanced at her and did as she said.

She only started changing her clothes after he walked ashore and turned his back.

As she unfolded the animal skin skirt to change into, her gaze fell on the animal skin that had fallen onto her legs.

She tested the texture and found it to be softer than the animal skin skirt she used to wear. She picked it up and looked at it for a while before realizing what it was.

However, she had never told anyone that she wanted the little clothes inside, so how did Foxy know?

Regardless, she definitely needs it right now.

With a sigh, she finished dressing and reached out to tug at his sleeve.

"Squat down, I have something to tell you."

"Wanwan~" As soon as she squatted down, Hu Jiu hooked her fingertips and acted coquettishly, "I was wrong~"

But Xu Wan didn't want to soften her heart so easily again. She withdrew her hand and looked into his eyes.

"Tell me the truth, did you bring me here on purpose?"

Fox Jiu blinked, lowered her head and hummed in agreement, "Because I want Wanwan to feel sorry for me..."

"And then take the opportunity to kiss me?"

Xu Wan interrupted him, her usually easygoing nature becoming somewhat forceful in front of them.

"Fox Spirit, I don't like this."

He looked up at her, then took her hand again. "Wanwan, I know I was wrong~"

"You already know you were wrong."

Xu Wan tried to pull her hand away, but he wouldn't let her. She looked at him.

"You just think that if you kiss me until I lose consciousness, you can do whatever you want with me."

She turned her face away, not wanting to look at him anymore.

"Fox Spirit, you could have just asked directly, why did you have to do it this way?"

"If I ask, will Wanwan agree?"

"...What?"

Fox didn't repeat it, but asked her another question instead.

"Wanwan, if Chen Shuang isn't asleep tonight, will you let him kiss you?"

Xu Wan opened her mouth, but didn't know what to say.

But her hesitation already told him the answer.

He twitched the corner of his mouth, his voice softer than before.

"You see, Wanwan was never really prepared to accept any of us."

Xu Wan shook her head. "Fox Jiu, what I want is for you to respect my thoughts."

She paused, as if considering how to organize her thoughts.

"Just like before, it's my freedom to agree or disagree, but you should at least ask. You can't make the decision for me."

Fox Jiu didn't speak; the males have always believed in the law of the jungle.

Even when facing the female master, they still have to compete with each other, and if the female master makes the decision, it may never be their turn.

But his mistress actually said she needed to ask for his opinion? She wanted to respect him?

Doesn't she know that males have always been in control when it comes to procreation?

What Xu Wan said was very novel to Hu Jiu, and he suddenly had a new question.

"So, it was because Zhuyou learned to respect you and to ask you that Wanwan agreed not to break the contract?"

Xu Wan was taken aback, not expecting him to mention Zhu You, but she still nodded.

"……yes."

"That night..."

Fox Jiu stared at her with his fiery red eyes, trying to get the answer he wanted from her.

"Why won't you let Zhu You kiss you? You like him the most, don't you?"

Xu Wan was taken aback by the question and couldn't answer it immediately.

"I……"

"Wanwan, for males, liking someone means possession, getting close, and doing intimate things."

Before she could react, he continued to press her for answers.

"And what about you? You're willing to get close to us, but you're never willing to do anything more with us. Is it because you don't like us enough?"

"But if you didn't like it, why did you treat my face and apply medicine to Zhuyou and Chenshuang?"

Foxy asked one question after another until she heard him ask one.

"Wanwan, are you trying to make it up to us? What will you do after you've healed us? Will you send us away?"

He didn't tell Xu Wan.

In the Canglan Continent, beastmen who cannot formally form a bond with a female can be bullied at will.

This means that their mistress doesn't like them, and even if they are bullied, no one will stand up for them.

Thinking of the figure in his memory who was always being beaten, he tightened his grip on the little female's hand.

He won't allow himself to become the kind of person who can be disposed of at will!

Even if it means using any means necessary, he will make sure that the little female has a place in her heart!

Xu Wan didn't notice his change; she was wondering where else she could hide.

To her, Fox Spirit had eyes that could see through everything.

In his presence, all my secrets were laid bare.

But now that things have come to this point, it doesn't seem realistic to pretend that nothing happened.

"Fox Jiu, I don't know what it feels like to like someone."

She lowered her head and sighed, unaware of the footsteps behind her.

"I've done many wrong things before, and for you all, it's true that I've tried to make amends rather than showing affection..."

Fox Jiu tightened his grip on her hand. "So, is getting close to us also to make amends?"

She opened her mouth, then shook her head. "...No, it was me...who wanted to do it."

As for the system, missions, and health points, she couldn't mention a single word about them.

She liked being with them because they were willing to tell her the truth.

But she knew that the way she acquired life points meant that her relationship with them was inherently transactional.

This is also why she can't give her heart away.

She didn't dare to imagine the look of disappointment on their faces if they were accidentally discovered.

At this point, Xu Wan was unaware that her fear was itself a choice.

Seeing her absent-minded look, Hu Jiu closed his eyes.

He originally intended to push her, to take advantage of her soft heart, to get her to cross that line and make the decision to truly accept them.

But now... he can't bear to part with it.

He raised his hand and cupped her face, choosing to back down.

"Wanwan, I will try to become the person you like, but I don't want to only receive your compensation."

Xu Wan was taken aback. "What...does that mean?"

"It means you want Wanwan to treat me like a beastly husband, like a real family member."

He looked behind her, a slight smile playing on his lips. "It's not just me; Zhu You and Chen Shuang think the same way."
