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

The female voice came from the cave entrance, soft and gentle.

Fox was somewhat stunned; he had never heard a female speak in such a soft tone before.

The once sharp and piercing sound now felt like a cool stream, softening those violent and bloody thoughts, and making my heart beat faster.

Noticing the change in herself, Hu Jiu frowned and suppressed the strange feeling.

Ah, no wonder Zhu You and Chen Shuang treated her differently; so this is how they did it.

It's really kind of her to put herself in such a low position in order to put them at ease.

Alright, since his mistress wants to play along, he'll play along and see how long she can keep up the act.

By the time he came to his senses, Xu Wan had already entered the cave.

As darkness fell, her eyesight became insufficient to see the environment inside the cave, so she could only raise her hand and carefully feel her way around.

"Fox Spirit, are you there?"

He sat on the ground without saying a word, his fiery red eyes gleaming faintly in the darkness, quietly watching the female's movements.

Now's the time to pounce on her, grab her by the neck, and enjoy the sight of a female's life being under his control.

At first, she will struggle violently, but as her palms tighten, she will slowly lose strength until the sound of her neck bones breaking is heard, at which point she will completely disappear from this world.

At that time, he will also be freed from this ugly body and will no longer have to endure the strange looks and ridicule of others.

Fox ears emerged under intense imaginary stimulation, trembling slightly, and breathing became heavier.

His hand unconsciously rose, his five fingers slowly gathering together. Yes, closer, even closer...

"Fox Spirit, I can't find you. Please answer me!"

He snapped back to his senses and lowered his hand.

"My lady, I'm here." He heard his own response, so gentle it was almost sickeningly sweet.

Ha, how ironic. He clearly wanted to strangle the other person, yet he had to pretend to be considerate.

"Come on, take my hand..."

A soft, boneless hand slipped into his palm, and with a pull, the female was brought to his front.

"My lady, what do you want me to do?"

Xu Wan was momentarily stunned. If the system hadn't kept alerting her that Hu Jiu's favorability rating had risen to -97, she would have really thought he wanted to talk to her properly.

"Fox Jiu, I want you to use your powers to start a fire for me. I want to cook for you."

"Cook?" Fox Jiu chuckled, his slender fingers brushing the hair that had fallen in front of her face behind her ear. "Making the females cook, is the Mistress trying to punish us again with this excuse?"

"Or... does the female want to add something inside so we'll kneel down and beg you?"

The tone of his voice was tinged with laughter, but it sent a chill down Xu Wan's spine. She took a deep breath and suppressed the urge to back away.

"Fox Spirit, I won't do that."

She looked up at the pair of fiery red eyes in the darkness. "I know you hate me, and I know you value your appearance the most. I admit I was wrong before."

"But I also want to tell you." Her voice trembled with nervousness. She paused, then continued, "Fox Spirit, I will heal your face."

She raised her hand, "I swear to the progenitor, if I cannot heal your face, I am willing to accept any punishment."

In the darkness, the light of the oath mark shone, briefly illuminating their vision.

Fox looked into those blue eyes. There was no deception, only... sincerity?

He opened his mouth, wanting to refute or scoff, but lowered his eyes and remained silent.

He dared to swear to the progenitor, should he say that the other party was unscrupulous in achieving her goals, or... should he believe that she was telling the truth?

Her breathing seemed to slow down, and the thought of toying with the other person vanished completely at some point.

"Fox Spirit, why aren't you saying anything?"

The soft fingertips touched the scar on his jaw, and the scar, which should have been numb, suddenly became burning hot, bringing back the nightmares that haunted him day and night.

No! Stop trying to deceive him!

He shoved the person away abruptly, quickly stood up, took a few steps back, and growled, "Don't touch me!"

Without restraint, Xu Wan, whose physical condition already made movement difficult, fell to the ground with his push, her palm scraping heavily against the rough surface.

"Hiss..." She gasped, her palms burning with pain, and something warm flowed out, a faint smell of blood permeating the cave.

Hearing the system's alarm in her mind, she sighed and softened her voice, "Fox Jiu, I didn't bump into it on purpose, I just wanted to stand up."

"Could you help me up?" The female's voice sounded somewhat embarrassed. "I... can't get up by myself."

He didn't move, but instead asked, "You're not angry that I hurt you?"

"You didn't do it on purpose, why are you angry?" Xu Wan shook her head. "I've hurt you before, it's normal for you to be on guard."

Fox Jiu's fingers, which were hanging on the ground, twitched.

Xu Wan didn't urge him. She reached out her hand to him, her soft voice carrying a hint of coquetry, "Please help me up. Are you going to make me sit on the ground forever?"

Fox felt his mind was in a mess. When he closed his eyes and opened them again, he stood up, silently reached out and took her wrist, pulling her up from the ground.

Xu Wan patted the dirt off her clothes. "Um... could you help me with the fire?"

"What if I don't agree? Are you going to whip me?"

"Of course not!" Xu Wan quickly waved her hand. "Flint is more convenient. If you don't want to use it, I can use ordinary stone. I'll have Zhu You reinforce it for me later..."

He licked his teeth, inexplicably annoyed to hear other people's names coming from her mouth.

He didn't think about why she cared, nor did he want to listen to her anymore. He took two flints out of the animal skin bag, stuffed them into her hand, and began to shoo her away.

"You can use this to start a fire."

What a delightful surprise! Xu Wan's eyes lit up, and she happily accepted the flint. "Thank you, Fox Spirit! I'll give you the biggest piece of meat later!"

He didn't speak until the female walked out of the cave, then he let out a soft hum and looked away.

For a moment, he couldn't tell which of the cunning females was the real fox spirit.

Outside the cave, Xu Wan held a flint. The hot stone burned her wound a little, but she rubbed it on her animal skin skirt and didn't think much of it.

[Congratulations, host. Fox Jiu's favorability has increased by five points, with a current favorability of -92. Your current health is 12 hours and 36 minutes remaining.]

She's leveled up? Although not by much, at least she's out of danger, so her injury wasn't in vain!

My health has increased too, great! I can live a little longer!

She gripped the flint tightly, whispering to herself, "What's there to be afraid of, little fox? Just be brave, and I'll win her over!"
