Looking at the bowl of dark, murky medicine in front of her, Xu Wan frowned, pinched her nose, and gulped it down in one go.

The bitter and spicy taste went from the tip of her tongue all the way to the top of her head, so bitter that tears came to her eyes.

"It's so bitter..."

Is this bowl of medicine taking over all the suffering she's endured in this life and the previous one?

After finishing the drink, his face was all scrunched up.

Mira popped a small red fruit into her mouth. "Eat it, it won't be bitter anymore."

The sweet and refreshing juice burst in her mouth, but before she could savor it any longer, Mira said...

"Wash all the knotweed you brought back clean later, and also the herbs you didn't finish dividing yesterday. Don't even think about slacking off."

With a sweet taste in her mouth, Xu Wan suddenly wondered: Is it too late for her to spit out the little red fruit and give it back to her?

"...I'm sick, and you still want me to work?"

"What about your three beastly husbands?" the other person asked without changing expression. "What are they supposed to do with their idleness?"

She gestured with her chin toward the door, "The wolf cub stays with you, the rest of you... get to work."

If they did it all, it shouldn't be her problem anymore, right?

She quietly moved further into the bed, trying to minimize her presence as much as possible.

But thinking of the almost entire yard full of herbs outside, he had just mustered the courage to say a few more words when he met Mira's gaze that seemed to say, "If you say one more word, we'll go outside and do it together."

She blinked, then decisively shrank back, "Whatever you say~"

Chen Shuang was the happiest one.

He shook his head, sat down next to her with a smug look on his face, and spoke with an undisguised lightness.

"Wanwan, I don't need to do any work, I'll stay with you."

Zhu You and Hu Jiu turned and went out. Soon, the sound of rustling work could be heard outside, and Mira's voice drifted in as well.

"Are you washing herbs? What did they ever do to you? You've ruined them!"

After a pause, he added, "Little fox, do you think these two look the same? Are you just wasting your eyes?"

Listening to Mira's indiscriminate attacks from outside, Xu Wan shrugged: It seems she's still showing me mercy.

She didn't know if she was still taking on apprentices, but she felt she could still further her studies in the arts of language.

After taking the medicine, her stomach started growling, and she turned to look at the wolf cub sitting next to her.

"Chen Shuang, could you roast two taro roots for me? I'm a little hungry."

Once Xu Wan was alone in the stone house, she lay on the bed and casually tapped the system.

"Tongzi, are you sure I just have an upset stomach?"

【Yes, what's wrong? Feeling down?】

She touched her stomach. "I don't know, but it feels very strange."

The moment she thought she was pregnant, besides being shocked, she also felt a vague sense of anticipation.

Perhaps because she had no family of her own since childhood, when she learned that there was a little life in her belly that was connected to her by blood, her first reaction was not fear, but rather a joyful excitement filled with novelty.

But what followed was the anxiety of "Can I be a good mother?"

After realizing it was all a misunderstanding, my worries disappeared, but I also felt a little empty inside, and I couldn't tell whether I was happy or unhappy.

Listening to her complex inner thoughts, the system remained silent for a moment, then sighed silently.

[Zhu You's favorability rating has exceeded 90. If you agree, the Flash Pregnancy System's mission can be officially launched. As long as you form a bond with him, you will definitely have a child.]

Xu Wan was stunned for a moment, "...How much? Ninety?!"

She sat up abruptly and frantically brought up the system panel.

When she saw 92 following behind Zhuyou, she thought she was seeing things.

"W-how come it's so tall?"

[It's been rising, you just haven't been paying attention. Yesterday he swore it would jump straight from seventy to ninety.]

He could have offered a reminder, since the data doesn't lie.

If Xu Wan just glanced at them, she would know that her feelings for them were never one-sided.

But he doesn't have enough freedom yet.

This notification will be detected by the main system, thus determining that his feelings have changed again.

He didn't want his memories to be wiped clean again, and he would revert to the original stupid system.

Fortunately, Xu Wan was so engrossed in the shock of her three beast husbands' affection levels skyrocketing that she didn't have time to think about anything else.

"Chen Shuang 86, Hu Jiu 79... wait!"

She seemed to suddenly realize something, and her eyes narrowed slightly.

The system felt uneasy looking at her.

She found out? If she asks him, how should he answer?

"The system."

【W-What's wrong?】

"The favorability rating has changed so much..."

Here it comes, she has indeed noticed something is wrong.

How can he answer in a way that avoids being detected by the main system?

"...Have I accumulated a lot of treasure chests? Could you exchange them all for the premium versions?"

【…What?】

The system was stunned and remained silent for a long time.

"what?"

She clenched her fingers, trying to maintain a self-righteous demeanor.

"I know this request is a little bit unreasonable, but you didn't silence me, so you can't give me the silent treatment. If it really doesn't work..."

【Can. 】

"what?"

Now it was Xu Wan's turn to be stunned. This development... something's not right, is it?

Shouldn't the system have firmly and righteously refused, and then she had to use her silver tongue to negotiate with him indirectly, ultimately winning beautifully?

She narrowed her eyes suspiciously. "Tongzi, you didn't do something wrong, and you're trying to make it up to me like this, did you?"

The system, feeling guilty after having its sore spot hit: レ(゚∀゚;)ヘヘ(゚∀゚;)ノ

【Of course not! It's just... I've noticed you've been quite upset lately, but you did a good job on the mission...】

"Yeah?"

Xu Wan was skeptical, but seeing that more than a dozen high-level treasure chests had suddenly appeared in her backpack, she decided to stop while she was ahead.

After all, winning with words is only temporary, but the treasure in the chest is real.

She rubbed her hands together excitedly, "Let me see what good stuff I can get!"

The treasure chest flashed with golden light, and Xu Wan was filled with anticipation that she could finally have a lucky break this time.

But when she saw the 10 "Leg-Stretching and Eye-Staring Pills" in her backpack, her lips twitched violently.

"Tongzi, my face feels hot and my heart is beating really fast. Am I in love?"

"...That's reddish-brown."

Xu Wan closed her eyes, still unwilling to give up, and continued rummaging through her backpack.

My fingertips suddenly touched a hard little bag. "Hmm? What's this?"

She picked it up and looked at it. "Mutant wheat and seeds that I don't know what will grow? System, where should I plant them?"

[The spirit field has been opened; just irrigate it with spirit spring water. Once it's ripe, it will be placed directly into your emergency space.]

"That's wonderful! I miss those plump, white steamed buns so much!"

Without saying a word, she planted most of the spiritual field, which cost ten yuan per square meter, with wheat, and sowed some unknown seeds on the last plot.

She clapped her hands. "I refuse to believe my luck can stay this bad forever!"

[Xu Wan, you haven't answered whether I want to accept the official mission from the Flash Pregnancy System.]
