Chapter 38: Chapter 38: Help, Someone Is Trying to Murder Your Female
Wait, where did this guy even come from?
She’d already checked—hadn’t everyone from the tribe gone out?
And he even knew her name, calling it out perfectly.
’He knows me?’
Su Luoluo, who had submerged herself, floated up slightly, wanting to get a clear look at the man’s face.
She had been too busy washing her sexy leopard-print panties to see anything more than a silhouette, and hadn’t gotten a good look at him.
However, the moment she broke the surface, the man flung the panties from his head into the water and swam toward her with a fierce glare.
’Hey, be as mad as you want, but don’t throw my stuff away!’
Watching her panties drift away with the current, Su Luoluo couldn’t help but cry out, "Hey, don’t throw that away!"
She had worked so hard to make those panties.
In this primitive society, there were no scissors. To cut up a skirt, you had to use a stone knife.
It might have looked like a small, insignificant piece of cloth, but she had spent a long time grinding with a stone knife just to cut out that triangle shape.
From one Beast Skin Skirt, she had toiled for ages just to make two pairs, which was barely enough for her to wear and wash.
If this pair was lost, she wouldn’t have any to wear.
The thought of having no underwear to wear if this pair was gone made Su Luoluo throw all caution to the wind.
She ducked her head under the water again and started paddling with her hands.
’Anyway, the water is deep and murky enough. He shouldn’t be able to see anything.’
Gliding through the water, she swam forward and snatched back her sexy leopard-print panties from where they drifted.
But just as she got the panties back, before she even had a moment to be happy...
The next second, her wrist was seized. His gaze was like an icicle, radiating cold. "I told you last time was the final time. How dare you try to seduce me by taking off your clothes again today."
With that, he started dragging Su Luoluo toward the shore.
Su Luoluo struggled and roared, "Hey! Even if you’re going to punish me, can you at least show some decency?"
"What?"
This was the first time Nantu had ever heard someone who was about to be punished say something like that.
Su Luoluo glanced down at her submerged body and said pointedly, "You’re not going to make me go with you naked, without even letting me put on my clothes, are you?"
Nantu was slightly taken aback. It was the first time he’d met someone who could make such a demand so righteously while being reprimanded.
He shot Su Luoluo a disdainful glance before instantly averting his eyes. "Hurry up."
’Who would want to look at her in this state anyway?’
Su Luoluo’s gaze fell on his hand. "How am I supposed to change if you don’t let go?" she said lightly.
Nantu released her and turned his back.
’He’s fierce, but at least he’s got some manners.’
Su Luoluo seized the opportunity to swim to the shore. She picked up the Beast Skin Skirt she had left there and put it on, then fastened her green top.
She deliberately made rustling sounds to mislead him.
Then, she tiptoed backward, slowly retreating.
She wasn’t an idiot. Why would she just wait around to be punished?
She hadn’t processed it at first, but now Su Luoluo had pretty much figured it out. This man must be her miserable, runaway Beastman husband.
’He’s not bad looking, though. The cold and aloof type.’
Silvery-white hair cascaded over his shoulders like seaweed. His skin was fair, almost translucent. Unlike Mo Xuan’s tough-guy build, his jawline was softer, though not without definition. He had a fine, straight nose and a pair of gray-blue eyes that were both cold and deep.
’But this personality of his...’
Su Luoluo had to admit, the guy was a total no-go.
As Su Luoluo was silently complaining...
The system suddenly chimed.
[Ding! System warning. Please be advised, the host’s attraction value has dropped to 0.]
"What! Didn’t my attraction value just go up?"
Su Luoluo remembered her attraction value had reached 40 just yesterday. How did it suddenly drop back to zero?
"Replying to Host: It is because Nantu’s impression of the Host is too low, which has lowered the Host’s overall attraction value."
"Wait, what kind of crappy system is this? The attraction value is calculated from five people. If his score drops, the total value has to drop too?"
"Host, that is correct. To provide a better romance experience, the system’s attraction value requires that every capture target’s score be in a state of increase."
Su Luoluo: ...
"Then what are Nantu’s current capture stats?"
Capture Target: Nantu
Age: 19
Attraction Value: 0
Beastification: Mermaid
Expected Meeting Value with Host: 0
Attention to Host’s Activities: 0
Host’s Influence on Him: 0
Superpower Level: Level 5
Love Brain Level:
Heartbeat Value 0 (Stone Brain -100)
’His scores are this low? No wonder the average dropped.’
Seeing this, Su Luoluo felt another headache coming on.
She had thought her path to capturing them was slowly getting better.
She never expected that Nantu’s return would reset all her progress.
This meant she had to find a way to turn his impression of her around.
Su Luoluo felt the difficulty level for this was extremely high.
After all, he was the one the original owner had nearly succeeded in poisoning with a seduction fruit.
His psychological trauma alone was much greater than any of the others’.
’Sigh, why is my life so miserable? Things were just starting to look up.’
’And now, I have to be all careful and cautious again.’
Before Su Luoluo could finish her thoughts, a blue fishtail descended from the sky and landed in front of her. His face was full of disgust. "You’re full of tricks. I almost fell for it again."
Su Luoluo: ’You’ve got to be kidding me!’
’I ran this far and he still managed to track me down.’
She licked her lips, wondering what to do, when she suddenly caught sight of someone approaching. It was a man carrying a Stone Spear, wearing a one-shouldered Beast Skin Skirt.
Who else could it be but Luan Ting?
Su Luoluo sprinted over and hid behind him, her voice frantic. "Luan Ting, save me! Someone is trying to murder your female!"
Su Luoluo pouted. To be honest, she didn’t want to say that either.
But she needed a justifiable reason to ask for help!
She couldn’t just bluntly ask him to save her, could she?
After spending so many days together, Su Luoluo had figured out Luan Ting’s personality. He seemed warm on the surface but was cold inside.
It was better to be enthusiastic when asking him for help.
Luan Ting flinched slightly at her words, a little unsettled by them.
However, he didn’t abandon Su Luoluo. He spread his arms to shield her, blocking Nantu’s path.
Nantu walked over and reached out to grab Su Luoluo, his tone icy. "Luan Ting, get out of the way. This is between her and me, and it has nothing to do with you."
He stopped and looked at the aggressive Nantu before him. After a moment’s thought, he said, "Nantu, don’t hold it against her. Let’s talk things out calmly."
"I have nothing to say to her. Move, or I won’t be polite to you either." Nantu’s voice was frigid, showing he had no intention of giving Luan Ting any face.
Luan Ting also knew what Su Luoluo had done with the seduction fruit was wrong, but he had also noticed that she had been changing for the better these past few days.
He stood his ground and tried to persuade him. "What she did in the past was indeed wrong, but she’s a better person now. Maybe you could..."
When Su Luoluo heard Luan Ting say this, she felt a surge of joy in her heart.
’I’m such a good judge of character. I picked a righteous one right off the bat.’
However, the other party was clearly not buying his reasoning.
She patted Luan Ting’s shoulder, gave him a wink, and mouthed a "thank you."
Then, with Luan Ting holding him off, she escaped from Nantu’s pursuit.
’It’s best to wait for an angry person to cool down before trying to talk to them.’
