Chapter 127: Chapter 129: Feelings Stirred

’Where the heck did this Nantu come from?’

’Why do I run into him every time I’m in the water, and it’s always so sudden?’

’I clearly checked that there was no one near the hot spring!’

’It’s over. We just kissed. I bet my Heartbeat Value and attraction value are going to drop again.’

’Don’t tell me everything is going to reset to its initial value!’

’No way!’

’That would mean all my work these past few days was for nothing.’

Before even worrying about him taking advantage of her, Su Luoluo’s first thought was whether her progress values would survive.

Of course, there was another urgent and awkward matter that needed her immediate attention.

She wasn’t wearing a single piece of clothing; she was completely naked.

Nantu could see every inch of her now.

Su Luoluo couldn’t help but feel awkward, being so exposed in front of him.

However, before her awkwardness could subside, she felt a warm puff of air on her lips, accompanied by the sound of his shallow breaths.

Nantu hadn’t actually done anything, but for some reason, she still felt a tingling sensation spread slowly from her lips throughout her entire body.

It was as if a small electric current was coursing through her, making her flush and feel a strange, pleasant tingle.

As their lips touched, Nantu’s eyes widened instantly, his aqua-blue irises filled with astonishment.

His first instinct was to push her away, but he found her lips to be as soft as the milk tea Su Luoluo made—creamy and sweet.

’Why are a female’s lips so different from a Beastman’s? Hers are so soft.’

’Even when I breathe in the water, my own lips have never felt this soft.’

Subconsciously, he moved his lips, breathing in and out against hers.

The movement sent a tingling sensation from his lips surging through his entire body.

It was a feeling he had never experienced before. Driven by curiosity, he unconsciously pressed forward a few more times.

Su Luoluo saw the distance between them shrink even further, and she began to panic internally.

A moment ago, their lips had been touching, but their bodies were still separated by some distance. His sudden advance, however, closed that gap significantly.

’Any closer, and our bodies will be pressed tightly together!’

’What is with Nantu today?’

’Why hasn’t he let me go? He’s even gotten closer!’

’No, I can’t let him get any closer. If he flies into a rage out of embarrassment later, all my progress values will reset to zero!’

At that thought, Su Luoluo struggled to take a step back and put some distance between herself and Nantu.

However, she was so focused on separating from Nantu that she failed to notice the rock behind her. As she stepped back, the current pushed her forward again, and this time, her body was pressed completely against his.

Nantu’s lower body, a silver-blue mermaid tail, ended up tangled with Su Luoluo’s legs. Pushed by the water, her full chest brushed against Nantu’s hand.

’Crap, I’m so screwed.’

’I don’t even want to imagine how badly my progress values are going to plummet.’

’If I’d known Nantu was in the hot spring, I should have used my superpower to scan the area. Then I wouldn’t be in this passive situation, and all my hard work wouldn’t be about to go down the drain.’

’I shouldn’t have been so lazy today. It’s not like we’re out of firewood. Why didn’t I just heat up some water instead of taking the convenient option of coming to the hot spring?’

At that moment, Su Luoluo was filled with a million regrets.

Suddenly, the system chimed with a DING. Su Luoluo squeezed her eyes shut, not daring to hear how far her values had fallen.

However, the mechanical voice that spoke in the next moment left her utterly stunned.

[DING! Congratulations, Host. Nantu’s Heartbeat Value has reached 88, and his attraction value has reached 75. Keep up the good work!]

Su Luoluo: ???

’I didn’t mishear that, did I?’

’The progress values actually went up instead of down? Is the system malfunctioning or something?’

Su Luoluo was utterly baffled.

While Su Luoluo was confused, Nantu was equally bewildered.

’Why are her breasts so big and soft?’

’My hand feels like it was struck by lightning. It’s so tingly.’

’They’re even bigger than they look.’

’Su Luoluo is a female, so why is her body even softer than a fish’s?’

’I just don’t get it.’

’This is a feeling I’ve never experienced before.’

’Is it because she’s a female?’

’But when Su Luoluo tried to climb into my bed before, I didn’t get this... full feeling in my chest. In fact, I was disgusted.’

’What in the world is going on?’

Given the inexplicable rise in her scores, Su Luoluo quickly began to analyze the situation in her mind.

’In the end, she came to one conclusion: could it be that the values shot up so quickly because he touched my body?’

’No way!’

’I can’t believe Nantu is so shallow, so crude.’

’Wasn’t he only interested in my "high-tech" stuff before?’

’Why is he acting like he’s been seduced now?’

As this thought crossed her mind, Su Luoluo shot a suspicious glance at Nantu.

Nantu had been lost in his thoughts and explorations, but when he saw Su Luoluo staring at him, he panicked. He instantly snatched his hand back and scrambled away from her.

With a powerful flick of his mermaid tail, he shot toward the shore, vanishing from her sight like a bolt of lightning. The churning waves he left behind were the only proof that the incident wasn’t just a hallucination.

’Was that him fleeing in disgrace?’

Staring at the spreading ripples, Su Luoluo mused after a long moment.

’So Nantu is that shy?’

Su Luoluo suddenly had an idea. Maybe she could try a different approach to winning over Nantu.

After Nantu left, the surface of the water returned to its usual calm.

After washing her face, Su Luoluo applied the pearl mask she had made herself.

She then activated the absorption power of her Wood Element Ability, beginning her skin-whitening regimen.

She felt her figure was getting there, but her face was still rather plain.

Holding up a mirror, Su Luoluo studied her reflection and found it a bit strange.

’I’m clearly the daughter of Lan Ya and Su Yang, so how did I not inherit their large, double-lidded eyes and slender face?’

’Meanwhile, that brat Su Zhao inherited all the good parts.’

’Although, when I did my makeup today, I found that I actually look quite a bit like Lan Ya once I make my eyes look bigger.’

’Sigh... if only the foundation I made didn’t wear off so quickly, I’d totally wear makeup every day.’

...

「After a good night’s sleep.」

Su Luoluo woke up, went for a run, and washed up before heading to the "Wild Kitchen" as usual to prepare breakfast.

She had just stepped into the kitchen when she noticed that although it wasn’t mealtime yet, a few people had already arrived and were sitting at the round table.

When Fu Feng, Xiao Ye, and Mo Xuan saw her arrive, all three of them simultaneously looked her up and down.

Their synchronized reaction made Su Luoluo think something was wrong, and she quickly looked down at herself.

’My clothes are perfectly normal today. Nothing’s out of place.’

Seeing this, she couldn’t help but ask the three of them, "What are you all looking at?"
