Chapter 172: Chapter 174: Each with Their Own Ulterior Motives

Su Luoluo was completely unaware that several of her beastmen had ideas about the milk bath.

After dinner and her usual walk, she returned to her bathroom.

The bathtub was filled with the milk they had collected during the day, a pool of milky white.

A smile touched Su Luoluo’s lips as she gazed at the milky-white expanse before her. ’She never thought she’d be able to live so luxuriously in the Beast World, bathing in milk.’

’I’ve heard that milk baths can whiten and beautify the skin. I can use my Water Ability for purification and my Wood Element Ability to nourish it.’

Su Yang had called the men away, so with no one to disturb her, she could finally enjoy a relaxing bath just like last time.

When bathing alone, Su Luoluo was very relaxed.

She hummed, "I love to bathe, my skin’s so great..."

As she hummed, she looked down and began to undress, starting with her lower half. Her hand reached for her beast skin skirt; with a simple hook and flick, she sent it flying through the air. The skirt caught on a low wooden rack nearby, revealing Su Luoluo’s long, straight legs.

Xiao Ye’s eyes burned red as he watched from inside the room. ’When Su Luoluo mated with me, she was never this uninhibited.’

Seeing how unrestrained Su Luoluo was, Mo Xuan’s eyes darkened. ’I was worried she didn’t like things too stimulating,’ he thought. ’Looks like I was overthinking it.’

With the beast skin skirt gone, her small, leopard-print underwear was revealed. As she bent down to remove it, she felt as if something was watching her. She instinctively glanced back, but the strange feeling vanished.

Detecting nothing amiss, she figured she was probably just imagining things. Still, she didn’t face the open room this time. Instead, she turned around, sticking her rear out as she pulled off her underwear.

It wasn’t the first time the men had seen Su Luoluo’s behind, but they were surprised to discover it was even perkier than before. As she stepped into the tub, her cheeks jiggled, looking incredibly tempting.

Su Luoluo waited until she was sitting in the tub to take off her beast skin top. Her intuition told her something was still off, so she wasn’t as relaxed as she had been moments ago.

Fortunately, once she was settled in the tub, the strange sensation vanished completely.

It wasn’t that the beastmen didn’t want to keep watching. They had just been staring so intently that they’d all gotten worked up and suffered nosebleeds. If they didn’t tilt their heads back, the blood would have trickled right into their mouths.

It was no wonder they lost control; they had just discovered that Su Luoluo’s round breasts had gotten even bigger.

With a figure that alluring, it was difficult for them to remain composed.

After bathing for a while, Su Luoluo activated the purification function of her Water Ability to detoxify her body from within. Then, she activated the absorption function of her Wood Element Ability, using it to absorb the milk and whiten her skin.

Emerald-green leaves burrowed into Su Luoluo’s skin like vines, startling the peeping beastmen. Thinking she was under attack, they all teleported in front of her bathtub in an instant.

Su Luoluo was busy using the milk to wash her skin when she suddenly felt her shower curtain fly open as if hit by a gust of wind. In the next moment, several hands reached for the green vines on her chest simultaneously. Her gaze followed the hands, and she realized that six men were now standing ramrod straight in front of her bathtub.

Su Luoluo stared at the scene before her, stunned for a moment. Then, she covered her chest with her hands and sank deeper into the water, glaring at them. "What do you think you’re doing? Are you peeping toms?"

Hearing this, the men all looked away in embarrassment. But upon seeing each other’s faces, they all spun back around in unison.

’He’s here too?’

All six of them had assumed they were the only one peeping on Su Luoluo. They never imagined everyone else had the same idea.

Peeping was bad enough, but getting caught was worse. And now they had all revealed themselves right in front of Su Luoluo.

The men were utterly mortified.

It was one thing for Xiao Ye, Mo Xuan, Fu Feng, and Xi Yi to be peeping, but Su Luoluo was shocked to see that the upright and dignified Luan Ting and the cool, aloof Nantu had joined them.

Su Luoluo stared at Luan Ting and Nantu in disbelief. "Am I seeing things? You two joined them?"

’You really do become like the company you keep,’ she thought. ’Just look what they’ve turned into!’

Nantu’s face turned beet red, giving him the air of a good boy who’d just been caught being bad.

Luan Ting, however, just cleared his throat. "I saw you were tangled up in green vines and thought you were under attack, so..."

At these words, the other men silently cursed Luan Ting. ’So he can be this shameless too,’ they thought, ’lying right to her face.’

But his excuse successfully diffused the awkwardness, and the men all turned their attention to the green vines on Su Luoluo.

Hearing his explanation, Su Luoluo retracted the vines and said sheepishly, "I forgot to tell you guys. I awakened a Wood Element Ability. I was just using it to massage myself."

The men were stunned once again. They never imagined Su Luoluo could awaken Dual Superpowers.

It was already rare for a female to awaken a single superpower, yet she had two.

Xi Yi immediately sang her praises. "Luoluo, you’re incredible! Does this mean you can heal our injuries from now on?"

Su Luoluo laughed weakly. "Its rank is still very low. I can’t do much with it."

Luan Ting was also surprised, but it was a good thing regardless. He nodded. "It will grow stronger over time."

Worried they would continue to press her, Su Luoluo quickly changed the subject. "Um, I need to get dressed now, so you guys..."

The atmosphere, which had just normalized, instantly turned awkward again. The men beat a hasty retreat, leaving Su Luoluo by herself.

And so, the dramatic incident came to a quiet close, as both parties had their own reasons for letting it go.

「The next day at dinner」 The men exchanged glances when they saw the vibrant red sour fish soup on the table.

Before, they hadn’t really paid attention to what Su Luoluo was cooking for them to eat.

But hadn’t she been eating sour food a lot more frequently recently?

Sour dumplings, sour hot pot, yogurt, sour fruit jam, and now this sour fish soup.

Su Luoluo had been eating nothing but sour things for the past few days, and in large quantities.

This distinct change in her diet made the beastmen’s minds wander.

Xiao Ye’s eyebrows shot up, and a wide grin spread across his face. "Looks like my cubs are going to be little females."

Mo Xuan immediately shot that down. "What do you mean, ’yours’? My cub is the little female."

Luan Ting remained silent, but he thought, ’If it really is a female, I’d spoil her rotten.’

Nantu, too, was lost in a momentary daze. ’Am I really going to have a little female of my own?’

Su Luoluo was thoroughly enjoying the sour fish soup, but their words made her almost choke on a fish bone.

’What the hell?’

’All I wanted was to eat something sour. How did that suddenly mean the baby in my belly is a female?’

’Besides, isn’t the saying "sour for a boy, spicy for a girl"?’

’Is it different here in the Beast World?’

"Mine."

"Mine."

Mo Xuan and Xiao Ye were arguing back and forth, unable to be stopped.

Seeing that she wouldn’t be able to eat in peace, Su Luoluo put down her chopsticks and shot them a glare. "Are you going to let me eat or not? What can you possibly tell just because I’m eating something sour?"

Chided by Su Luoluo, the two of them reined it in, though both were still convinced that they were the one about to welcome a little female into the world.
