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

forest.

Zhu You carried Xu Wan and led the way at the front.

She leaned on his shoulder, her gaze seemingly casually sweeping across the crowd.

The males should have been at the back of the procession, but the rabbit spirit was left all alone at the very end.

"My lady, the mugwort has been found."

Xu Wan nodded and asked Zhu You to put her down.

"Choose four people to collect here, the rest of you come with me to another place."

Upon smelling the mugwort, the male members of the security team involuntarily took a step back.

Rabbit and the other females frowned, "What is this stuff? It smells awful."

As they spoke, they looked at the rabbit spirit at the back of the group and pulled her over.

"You, collect the shares for four people here."

Xu Wan's gaze swept over Tu Ling's arm, where there were several faint pinch marks, probably left from before.

"Wait, I want this person."

She stepped forward, shielding Rabbit Spirit behind her, her gaze sweeping over the four females led by Rabbit Form.

"Aren't you looking down on me by bullying me in front of my face?"

This look clearly signals the prelude to a fight.

The females present recalled the fear of having their hair pulled and quickly backed away, their voices trembling.

"What...what do you want to do?"

Xu Wan's gaze swept over the crowd.

"The gathering team ganged up on the other females, and the safety team failed to protect all the females. I will tell the chief about these things when I get back."

The previously aggressive Rabbit and her group panicked instantly.

"Xu Wan, High Priest, we...we didn't..."

"Rabbit Spirit." She turned to look at her. "They said they didn't bully you. What do you say?"

"I..." Rabbit Spirit opened her mouth, looking at her with some panic.

"It's okay, just say what you want to say."

Facing the rabbit spirit, her tone softened unconsciously, "I'll back you up."

"They stole my things and made me do chores for them..."

She sniffed and pointed to one of the males in the security team.

"He's Rabbit's mate, and he always listens to her and doesn't let other males protect me..."

"Rabbit Spirit!"

Rabbit interrupted her, her gaze carrying a hint of threat.

"You're from the gathering team, but the priest isn't."

Xu Wan chuckled softly, but her gaze towards her was devoid of any warmth.

"Rabbit, have I been too polite to you?"

I'm too lazy to waste my breath arguing with them.

"I'll take the rabbit spirit with me first. Remember to pick her share of mugwort too."

After taking a couple of steps, she turned back and winked playfully a few times.

"If you dare ask someone else for help, I'll pluck all the hairs off your ears!"

"Xu Wan!"

Hearing the angry voices of the people behind her, she couldn't help but laugh out loud.

[Host, you... you're just leaving like this?]

Xu Wan raised an eyebrow: [Hey, I'm a wicked heiress! Wicked heiresses don't reason with others!]

That's right, this simple and direct approach is more in line with her image.

The system remained silent for a moment, indicating that it had learned something.

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

Xu Wan pulled Tu Ling along for a while before stopping.

She looked at the rabbit ears that were still trembling. "Still scared?"

"No, I'm not afraid..."

Xu Wan patted her shoulder, "You're not the one who did something wrong, there's nothing to be afraid of."

As she spoke, she squatted down and taught her how to identify wild chrysanthemums.

The rabbit spirit squatted down beside her and mustered her courage to ask, "Why...why did you help me?"

Xu Wan continued moving, her expression remaining calm.

"You spoke up."

After confirming that the rabbit spirit could distinguish wild chrysanthemums, she clapped her hands and stood up from the ground.

"I have my own purpose. I'm helping you, so you should pick all the wild chrysanthemums around here."

She paused, then added.

"If I don't complete the task, the consequences of my anger will be very serious."

Rabbit Spirit looked at her; her eyes were still red, but the corners of her mouth had already turned up.

"Yes! I will finish it!"

Xu Wan nodded and mentally instructed the system to activate the scanning mode for her.

"Zhuyou, you stay here and watch over her. Don't let her slack off. I'm going to check around."

When someone grabbed her wrist, Zhu You shook her head disapprovingly.

"Wanwan, I'll go with you."

She pointed to her right front, "I'll be right there, I won't wander off."

[Host, a mature knotweed has been found 50 meters to your right. The whole plant can be used medicinally, with various effects such as expelling insects and reducing inflammation.]

Upon hearing the system announcement, her eyes lit up. She released Zhu You's hand, grabbed the basket, and ran off.

Before long, the waist-high basket was filled with a lot of knotweed and nuts hidden under the tree.

Xu Wan hummed a song, expressing great satisfaction with her gains.

"Digging and digging and digging in the little forest~"

[Host, taro detected 200 meters ahead.]

"Taro?" Xu Wan was delighted, stood up, opened the mini-map, and left.

"Finally, we can eat something else, little taro, Mommy's here!"

Only after she had filled her basket to the brim did she realize that she had unknowingly walked quite a distance.

"Candlelight Ghost?"

She called out twice, but received no response.

"Master, could you pinpoint Zhuyou's location?"

[Sorry, host, you and your beast mates have not yet officially formed a bond, so we cannot locate you at this time.]

Xu Wan sighed.

Looking at the basket next to me that was even heavier than myself, I suddenly missed my 200-plus-pound self.

[Host, you still have rabbit ears to use.]

The system alerted her.

With a slight thought, rabbit ears appeared on her head, and she closed her eyes to listen carefully to the sounds around her.

I could faintly hear voices in the distance; it must have been a gathering team, but they sounded a bit panicked and chaotic.

She took a few steps in that direction, and suddenly, the sound of the wind around her changed.

A shadow swept quickly overhead, and she instinctively looked up, her voice as if it had been paused.

A ferocious bird-like creature swooped down from above the tree trunk, its target clear: her!

[Host, run!]

She was a step too slow to escape; the beast's claws gripped her shoulders and back, and tears streamed down her face from the pain.

The basket was overturned on the ground, the ground was rapidly shrinking, and the sound of the wind gradually filled her ears.

She endured the pain and glanced down at it.

Having transformed into beast form, Zhu You leaped into the air...

Just a hair's breadth away, the snake's body crashed to the ground, the dull thud making her heart tremble.

She couldn't see Zhu You's face clearly; the wounds on her shoulders and back were already numb with pain.

Before her consciousness faded, she seemed to hear Zhuyou's voice.

"Wanwan!"

Xu Wan stood in the darkness, unable to find a way out no matter which direction she took.

She seemed to hear a child crying, and when she turned around, she saw herself as a child who had been bullied.

She tried to reach out, but found that her feet seemed to be locked by something.

"Wanwan..."

"Little female..."

"Xu Wan..."

"The female master..."

Someone was calling her name. She wanted to run away, but out of the corner of her eye, she caught sight of a small blue flower in the corner and instinctively reached out...

"Oh, you're awake. I thought you were just another useless female."
