Chapter 34: Chapter 34: Xiao Ye’s Choice
The moment he spoke, a whole spectrum of expressions appeared on the faces of everyone present.
Some of the Beastmen were just enjoying the show. Everyone knew Xiao Ye was famously wild; getting him to sleep with Su Luoluo would be harder than climbing to the heavens.
Some of the females were there to watch Su Luoluo make a fool of herself. Everyone knew what she was like, yet she still had the audacity to make such a shameless boast.
This time, she was being put in her place by her own brother!
Another group, made up of both females and Beastmen, was simply bewildered and a little sympathetic about the whole situation.
But the most dramatic expressions of all belonged to the two people at the center of it all.
Su Luoluo was inwardly shocked. ’I can’t believe that blockhead Su Zhao would actually say something like that.’
’He’s supposed to be the original owner’s biological brother. With a brain like that, I’m speechless.’
’Plus, now I feel like I’ve backed myself into a corner.’
’Why did I just blurt that out!’
’So impulsive.’
When Xiao Ye heard Su Luoluo’s claim, his expression was a mixture of disgust, awkwardness, and conflict.
’What on earth does Su Luoluo mean by this?’
He fell silent for a moment.
When Su Nuannuan heard Su Zhao say this, she was inwardly ecstatic.
’Getting Su Zhao to handle this was the right move after all.’
’Otherwise, how could Su Luoluo have been humiliated so badly today?’
’Just imagining Xiao Ye rejecting Su Luoluo on the spot, forcing her to admit she was lying...’
’...and then having to make a pathetic retreat and obediently cook for the tribe—the thought alone made Su Nuannuan feel immense satisfaction.’
’I’ve finally gotten my revenge for the humiliation I suffered that day!’
Mo Xuan had been on the sidelines enjoying the spectacle, but he never expected the trouble to land on Xiao Ye so quickly. He hurriedly took a few steps back, afraid Su Luoluo would notice him.
But then he felt his movement was too obvious. Fearing Su Luoluo would spot him, he nonchalantly shifted a little to his left.
After all that, he glanced at Xiao Ye with a hint of sympathy.
’Buddy, what are you going to do now!’
’If you offend Su Luoluo, you won’t get any more delicious food.’
But then, the thought that no one would be competing with him for food in the future made Mo Xuan secretly pleased.
Luan Ting, too, was surprised to hear the claim.
’Over the past few days, he could clearly sense that Su Luoluo had been improving.’
’Why is she back to this now...?’
A flicker of disappointment appeared in his pale yellow eyes.
Fu Feng, of course, was just enjoying the drama.
His gaze held both disgust and schadenfreude.
’Serves Xiao Ye right for getting so close to that ugly, fat female lately!’
’Now he’s gotten himself trapped!’
’Goes to show, sometimes a man has to control his appetite, or he’ll lose the happiness of his lower half.’
Su Luoluo’s mind was racing with anxiety.
Suddenly, the system’s voice sounded in her head.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Your attraction value has risen to 15. Fu Feng, Luan Ting, and Mo Xuan are all paying close attention to your situation!]
Su Luoluo was speechless.
’They all want to see me make a fool of myself. Of course they’re paying attention to me.’
’As for that attraction value, I still have no idea how the hell that thing is calculated.’
’In any case, the Heartbeat Value hasn’t gone up.’
On any other day, she might have asked the system about it, but right now, she was too busy trying to save her own skin to have time to deal with it.
’If Xiao Ye doesn’t agree, I’m screwed.’
At that thought, Su Luoluo could only brace herself and try shooting Xiao Ye a meaningful look.
Having spent the last few days together, Xiao Ye didn’t dislike Su Luoluo as much as before. Although he still found her overweight body hard to accept, for the sake of her delicious cooking, he could just about stand the sight of her.
’But what kind of look is that?’
’She’s arching her brows at me.’
’Is she trying to be seductive?’
’With her eyes and nose all scrunched up together, what’s there to look at? It’s actually a bit nauseating.’
He averted his gaze, trying to ignore her, but then he noticed her hand make the gesture of taking out an egg.
’Is she threatening me? No food if I don’t agree?’
Xiao Ye never thought he’d see the day he would be threatened by Su Luoluo.
He hesitated.
The next second, Su Luoluo pointed to her Beast Skin Skirt.
He recognized that gesture. She was telling him to play along for now.
It was what they had done the last time her rear ended up exposed.
With that in mind, he remained silent.
Su Nuannuan let out a soft laugh and looked at Su Zhao with feigned understanding. "Brother, you’re putting Luoluo in a difficult position. Since Luoluo isn’t willing, let’s just forget it!"
The contrast with Su Nuannuan only made Su Zhao feel more strongly that Su Luoluo needed to be disciplined, lest she become increasingly lazy.
After Su Nuannuan finished speaking, he glared at Su Luoluo and said fiercely, "If it’s not true, then get back to cooking. Stop slacking off."
Some of the females in the crowd had already started to laugh.
Su Luoluo shot a glare at Su Zhao, then turned to Xiao Ye. "Who said we aren’t? We’re sleeping together tonight. Right, Xiao Ye?"
Su Nuannuan sneered inwardly, waiting for Xiao Ye to step up and prove her wrong. But to her surprise, he didn’t say a single word.
A female on the side who admired Xiao Ye saw this and laughed out loud. "Look, Luoluo, Xiao Ye hasn’t said a thing. Why do you insist on humiliating yourself?"
Su Luoluo immediately shot back, "Just because he’s not talking doesn’t mean he disagrees. Maybe he’s just shy."
Since Xiao Ye wasn’t speaking, Su Luoluo took it as his tacit agreement.
’Otherwise, with his personality, he would have stormed off long ago.’
’He’s probably just too proud to back down now.’
The female’s face instantly turned red at the retort. "Su Luoluo, what’s there to be smug about? Xiao Ye just doesn’t want to bother with you."
In truth, Xiao Ye’s silence was a statement in itself.
Some of the more experienced, married Beastmen shook their heads at the scene. "You should stop talking. It’s not that Xiao Ye is thrilled about it, he’s just too embarrassed to say no."
The female still looked at Xiao Ye, not quite believing it.
Xiao Ye just wanted the whole affair to be over. He let out a soft "Mm," then turned and walked away.
After a few steps, he noticed Su Luoluo was still standing there. He glanced back at her. "Aren’t you coming?"
The moment he said that, the entire scene fell silent.
All the Beastmen stared at Xiao Ye with expressions of utter disbelief.
’Did we hear that right?!’
’Xiao Ye actually waited for Su Luoluo and even told her to follow him.’
Hearing this, Su Luoluo nearly choked.
’I just needed him to play along, he didn’t have to be quite so convincing.’
Still, she quickly ran to catch up.
Once they were out of the tribe’s main area, Su Luoluo offered her sincere thanks. "Thank you for that, Xiao Ye."
"Don’t mention it. I just don’t want to go without food in the future. We’re both just getting what we want," Xiao Ye said coolly.
His tone was as cold as ever.
Even though Xiao Ye hadn’t contradicted her, that didn’t mean he’d actually agreed to her request to sleep with her tonight.
Everyone in the tribe was waiting to see them sleep together, so she had to convince Xiao Ye to stay with her tonight.
With this in mind, Su Luoluo stopped and asked cautiously, "Xiao Ye, can I... sleep with you tonight? Don’t worry, I promise I won’t do anything to you."
