Xu Wan felt her heart sink. Was he so eager to break off the contract with her?

She closed her eyes, not wanting to see him anymore, but her eyes slowly welled up with tears.

"Tomorrow... after applying the medicine, I'll break the bond with you..."

These words seemed to drain all her strength; she lay on the animal skin bed, curling herself into a ball.

"Fox Spirit!"

Chen Shuang grew anxious, "You're so eager to break the contract? Have you forgotten all the good things Wanwan did for you?!"

Fox Jiu watched her retreating figure, his fingers twitching slightly as they hung at his sides.

"Then I'll come again tomorrow."

Footsteps sounded as they left, and at the same time, Chen Shuang's annoyed voice reached their ears.

"Wanwan, you wait, I'm going to beat him up to get revenge for you!"

Before they could stop them, the other party had already given chase.

She lay in bed and raised her hand to wipe away the tears from the corners of her eyes.

She was exhausted, but she couldn't fall asleep at all.

"System, how many health points do I have left?"

Four days left.

The system paused for a moment, then asked another question.

【Xu Wan, are you really going to break off your contract with them?】

Although she gained seven days of life points from officially forming a bond with Zhuyou, her contact with her beast husbands is now extremely limited.

The system believes that, given her current condition, even if she only has ten minutes of health left one day...

She'll probably wait until the last minute before making contact with her beast husbands.

He didn't understand what Xu Wan was insisting on, but he knew he couldn't just sit idly by.

[You are the female master; even if you say you won't break the contract, they can't do anything about it.]

Xu Wan smiled. "If I really did that, how would I be any different from the original owner?"

So you're just going to wait to die?!

The system was exasperated: [And Little Blue Flower, she's your spiritual entity. How can she recover if you don't interact with the Beastman?]

"But there's still Chen Shuang, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

[There's a limit! You said you wanted to take advantage of Chen Shuang, but every time he gets close, you're the first to dodge!]

The system was furious with her; she had just finished uttering those swear words when she was banned for 24 hours.

...He forgot that he was still a system, and the core was still with the main system.

Seeing the system suddenly go silent, Xu Wan thought she had upset him again.

She sat up and touched the tip of her nose, feeling a little guilty.

"Okay, I know. When Chen Shuang comes back later, I'll kiss him, hug him, and lift him up high. Okay, Commander, don't be angry~"

……

Fine, I'll ignore her. She seems really angry.

Xu Wan sighed and prepared to get up to continue dealing with her savings.

There are still taro in the basket, which is perfect for making taro stew with meat tonight, to heal her sadness with delicious food.

Just as I was about to get out of bed and open the door, Chen Shuang came in from outside, her face still bearing the marks of a fist, and the corner of her mouth was also cut.

They really went to fight, but judging from the expression on their faces...

"Wanwan, I won!"

He wanted to laugh, but the pain pulled at the wound on the corner of his mouth, making him gasp for breath, which looked a bit comical.

But that didn't stop him from showing off in front of her.

"Wanwan, don't let my injuries fool you, Hu Jiu has even more injuries than me!"

He raised his eyebrows smugly, then shook his head as if thinking of something. "But I don't know what's wrong with him. He didn't fight back when I hit him at first."

Xu Wan was taken aback. "Then how did you get the injury on your face?"

"This..." He looked away somewhat guiltily.

"I told you that Wanwan will definitely break the contract with him, and once the contract is broken, he will never be your beast husband again."

He could tell that although Hu Jiu said he was breaking off the contract, he was still reluctant to do so.

But that sly fox never says what he's thinking, which makes Wanwan uncomfortable too.

If he doesn't take this opportunity to provoke him, let's see where he'll cry when the contract is truly broken.

Who knew that as soon as this guy heard him say that, he went crazy and punched him in the face.

If Zhu You hadn't appeared in time to stop them, he probably would have gotten the other half of his face punched too.

"Wanwan, are you really going to break your contract with Fox Spirit?"

Xu Wan didn't speak, but Chen Shuang asked her the same question as the system.

She wasn't a particularly resolute person to begin with, and after being asked repeatedly, she hesitated, wondering if making the decision to dissolve the contract was the right or wrong thing to do.

She looked at Chen Shuang, "I...I don't know either."

"Wanwan." Seeing her like this, Chen Shuang stepped forward and ruffled her hair.

"Actually, Fox Jiu is quite pitiful. His female mother took a liking to his father's face and coaxed him into a contract so that they could have a male fox cub to sell for beast crystals."

Xu Wan felt her heart suddenly tighten. "You, what did you say...?"

Seeing her like this, Chen Shuang knew that Hu Jiu definitely hadn't told her anything.

He sighed inwardly. That stinky fox! He wasn't saying nice things to Wanwan because he felt sorry for her.

He just didn't want to see Wanwan sad!

Once I convinced myself, the rest of the conversation flowed much more smoothly.

"As soon as Fox Jiu was born, his mother wanted to sell him, but the man said that if Fox Jiu could grow up, he could get five more fourth-tier beast crystals."

"That's why Fox Jiu was able to live to adulthood."

He held Xu Wan's hand and told her in a very serious tone.

"Wanwan, of the three of us, Fox Spirit is most afraid of being taken advantage of by those close to him, so... could you give him a little more time and not break the contract with him so quickly?"

Xu Wan instantly regretted "confessing" to Hu Jiu.

She dared not imagine how he must have felt when he heard what she said.

How do you manage to avoid getting caught up in the dual pain of the past and the present?

No wonder he called her "female master"; wasn't that harsh word about exploitation also a form of self-protection?

She grabbed Chen Shuang's hand and said urgently, "Chen Shuang, I want to go find Hu Jiu."

She wanted to explain things to him clearly, to tell him exactly what she had told Chen Shuang.

Tell him that she is not just using him, and that her approach to them is not entirely for her own purposes.

It's because she likes them; liking them makes her unable to resist wanting to get closer and have contact with them.

Seeing how anxious she was, Chen Shuang simply transformed into her beast form and knelt down in front of her.

"Wanwan, come up here."

Chen Shuang's beast form ran very fast, but it was his first time carrying a person and he didn't have much experience. Xu Wan felt like throwing up from all the jolting.

She felt nauseous, but forced herself to get to the vicinity of the cave. After Chen Shuang put her down, she squatted down by a tree and vomited.

My stomach was churning and I couldn't describe the feeling. I only felt a little better after I almost vomited up bile as well.

She looked up and met Chen Shuang's unreadable eyes.

"What's wrong?"

His gaze shifted to her stomach, and after a long pause, he managed to utter a single sentence.

"Wanwan, are you pregnant with Zhuyou's child?"

Xu Wan also looked down at her flat stomach, her mind blank.

She... is pregnant?
