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

Nothing in this world is difficult if you are willing to give up. If you can't figure something out, just stop thinking about it.

She put the beast crystal back into the animal skin bag and headed southeast, following the markings on the map.

When Xu Wan rediscovered taro on the road, her eyes lit up.

The emergency space has now been expanded to ten square meters.

With a slight thought, she directly stored all the taro within her sight into her spatial storage.

She didn't let any of the toon leaves and berries she found along the way go to waste, stuffing them into corners whenever she could.

Looking at the fully equipped emergency space, she nodded in satisfaction.

"At least for these three days, I won't starve to death."

Xu Wan took out a flint, intending to fill her stomach before continuing her journey.

She sighed as she poked at the taro in the fire with a stick.

"I wonder how Zhuyou is doing."

Wataru's words suddenly echoed in her ears, like a devil's whisper.

"Falling from such a height..."

She quickly covered her ears. "It'll be alright! The bond mark is still intact."

The system seemed to sigh, delivering some less-than-good news.

[Host, you can only see the other person's condition after forming a bond. The fact that the mark hasn't disappeared only proves that he is still alive.]

There are many definitions of being alive; being half-dead is also a form of being alive.

Not wanting to let her overthinking continue, she shook her head and pulled out the taro that was almost burnt.

"Phew... It's so hot."

She wrapped the taro in leaves, carefully peeled off the skin, and tried taking a bite.

"tasty!"

She took out the spice jar containing sugar and sprinkled some on top.

As she put the food in her mouth, Xu Wan's eyes narrowed with satisfaction.

"What should we eat? Let me try some?"

Before she could react, someone had already bent down and taken the rest of the taro.

"Wataba!"

Xu Wan looked at him, her eyes showing no surprise at his sudden appearance, only anger at having her food taken away.

"You owe me my food!"

The newcomer smiled and pointed to another taro, "Isn't there another one? I promise I won't fight you for it."

"That was originally mine!"

Even knowing he was the object of her affections, Xu Wan didn't want to talk to him.

She hates two kinds of people the most: those who disrespect her and those who steal her food!

Unfortunately, this guy in front of me has both traits.

Seeing that she was really determined to ignore him, Du Yu's eyes darkened, and he sat down next to her.

"Little female, how did you escape?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, he put his hands behind his back and started talking to himself.

"I saw the corpses of those ferocious beasts on my way here, but unfortunately, they were all third- and second-tier beast crystals, which are of no use to me."

Xu Wan paused for a moment while peeling the skin, but quickly resumed her normal actions.

It seems... the highest level these ferocious beasts are actually is only the third rank.

But why are the beast crystals she obtained higher level than their actual level?

Could it be that the level of the beast crystal changes depending on when it is taken out, like opening a blind box?

Du Yu stared at her unconsciously biting lower lip and suddenly wanted to taste what it tasted like.

His body unconsciously moved closer, "Little female, you smell so good..."

Xu Wan pushed him away expressionlessly, "Du Yu, you're so annoying."

Actually, she had something else to say, but she was afraid that if she said it, he would think she was praising him.

Du Yu looked at the taro in her hand, "Little female, I want to eat too."

"You can grill it yourself if you want to eat it."

Afraid that he would snatch her things again, she quickly stuffed the taro in her hand into her mouth.

His mouth was immediately stuffed full, and his cheeks puffed out, making him look extremely cute.

"Little female, you are so beautiful."

Du Yu raised his hand to pinch her cheek, but was slapped again.

"Elbow away..." (Walks away)

Du Yu rubbed the back of his hand, and the fake smile on his face finally revealed a hint of sincerity.

"Little female, you're so fierce."

In Dark Night City, even females would address him as "Lord City Lord".

As it turned out, she had never heard of Dark Night City, and she rejected his advances time and time again.

If it were before, he would have tied her up and brought her to him, "torturing" her until she would speak up.

But now... he suddenly doesn't want to do it anymore.

He wanted the little females to willingly call him by his name and willingly praise him for being amazing.

"Do you want to go find your snake-clan beast mate?"

Xu Wan glanced at him but didn't say anything.

In situations like this, whoever backs down first loses.

Five, four, three...

"Little female, I'll take you to him, okay?"

Won.

She lowered her eyes, a slight smile playing on her lips, before quickly regaining her composure, neither saying yes nor no.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Du Yu was a little confused about what she was thinking.

It felt like there were feathers ruffling his heart, making him itchy and restless.

He tilted his head and leaned closer.

"Alright then, I won't let you break the contract with him, but I have to become the first beast husband."

The little female finally spared him some attention, but the words she spoke were still unpleasant for him to hear.

"When did I... agree to let you be my beastly husband?"

"You...you don't want me to be your beastly husband?"

Du Yu seemed to have heard a joke, and stood up, circling around her several times.

"I am the Lord of Dark Night City! Do you know how powerful I am? I am half..."

Realizing he had almost revealed his true strength in front of the little female, he quickly swallowed back what he was about to say.

But the other person seemed genuinely interested in what he hadn't finished saying, and even their tone became a bit excited.

"What is it? A half-king orc?"

"……no."

He sat back down. "I am a fourth-tier orc."

Xu Wan nodded expressionlessly, extinguished the fire, and turned to leave.

"oh."

"Hello!"

Watching her retreating figure, Du Yu laughed in exasperation, and in a few steps caught up with her, blocking her in front of him.

"You don't even want fourth-tier orcs? Surely not all your beastmen are fourth-tier?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, his smile slowly froze on his face.

"Could it be... really?"

"Yeah, right." Xu Wan nodded, looking at him with a disdainful expression, as if he had never seen anything like this before.

"Not as steady as my big snake, not as handsome as my fox, and not as tender as my little wolf."

She glanced at him up and down, then laughed as she stabbed Du Yu in the back.

"So...why should I let you be my beast-tamer?"

After taking a few steps, the system's voice came through.

[Host, it seems that Du Yu is somewhat broken.]

[Broken?]

Xu Wan was puzzled: "With such poor mental resilience, how has he survived until now?"

[Host, you seem to have forgotten... he's a ruthless, insane killer.]

She paused, turning back to look at Du Yu, who was still frozen in place.

[Calm killer? I think he's the one being insulted as a fool.]

The system remained silent for a moment.

[Host, it seems you were still showing me mercy before.]

Xu Wan raised an eyebrow: "So, considering how good I've been to you, how about five more high-level treasure chests?"

Focusing too much on bargaining with the system has consequences.

Looking at the hands gripping her shoulders, Xu Wan thought: If it weren't for the spiritual spring water, these two arms would have been ruined sooner or later.

"Hey, let go."

Du Yu curled his lips, his feigned gentleness torn away, revealing his true self.

He slowly leaned down, getting close to her. "Little female, I'm... very interested in you now."
