Chapter 70: Chapter 70: Forging the Totem
Xi Yi beamed as he explained, "Since we all want Luoluo, let’s just make a schedule to take turns accompanying her. That way, all six of us will get our own time with Luoluo."
The more Xi Yi spoke, the more excited he became, thinking his idea was brilliant.
Su Luoluo was hit with one shock after another as she listened.
’This Lizard... was really something else. So many ideas.’
’If I had known he was like this, I never should have let him stay.’
’He’s only been here a few days, and he’s already stirred up so much trouble that I haven’t had a moment’s peace.’
’If they really made some stupid rotating schedule, wouldn’t the Heartbeat Values for these Beastmen just come CRASHING down?’
’Doing it with someone you don’t like... You don’t have to think hard to know that’s not going to be a good experience.’
’I have no idea what’s gotten into Xi Yi, but he’s desperately trying every trick in the book to get close to me.’
’Agreeing is out of the question. It would be far too easy for this to backfire.’
’I’ve worked so hard to finally get their Heartbeat Values moving in the right direction. I can’t let Xi Yi, this one bad apple, spoil everything.’
At this thought, she shot Xi Yi a look, her voice turning cold. "Have you hunted that beast skin for me? And you’re already making demands?"
Xi Yi paused. "Well, I was hoping you could help me make some Beast Clothes, wasn’t I?"
Su Luoluo looked him up and down. "Aren’t you already wearing Beast Skin Clothes?"
Xi Yi scratched his head and said bashfully, "But you don’t like black. Wearing this won’t be attractive to you, and I’ll feel like I have no charm."
Su Luoluo: "..."
Su Luoluo rejected him outright. "Luan Ting makes all my clothes. I’m afraid I can’t help you with that."
"You just have to help me sketch a few nice designs." Xi Yi looked at Su Luoluo with puppy-dog eyes.
"I’m not drawing anything. I only know how to design for females, not Beastmen," Su Luoluo refused without a second thought.
’Draw Beast Clothes? Give him an inch, and he’ll take a mile.’
’Besides, he’s not one of my designated targets. If I make them for him, what would the other Beastmen think?’
’All he knows is how to cause me pointless trouble all day long.’
"Oh, all right then!" Xi Yi sounded dejected, his voice designed to evoke pity.
A typical female might have heard that pathetic tone and immediately rushed to comfort Xi Yi.
Su Luoluo, however, didn’t even spare him a glance. ’Disappointed about what? If he wants them, he can make them himself. I’m no bleeding-heart saint.’
’If he ruins my grand mission, I’m a goner.’
Xi Yi fell silent for a moment. He peeked up at Su Luoluo, and seeing no reaction from her, he tried again. "So, about that schedule... how should we set the order? Should we draw lots, or will you choose yourself, Luoluo?"
The other Beastmen had just been enjoying the show. When they heard Xi Yi bring the matter up again, their expressions didn’t change, but their ears honestly perked up.
To be honest, if he had heard about this schedule a while ago, Mo Xuan wouldn’t have been the least bit interested.
With Su Luoluo being so fat, her face dark and marred by a birthmark, he hadn’t even wanted to spare her a single glance.
But after seeing her full, firm curves yesterday, his heart had stirred.
At some point, Su Luoluo had started to become attractive.
As a leopard, he liked his females a little fleshy.
He wasn’t a fan of those skinny ones, all skin and bones. They felt dry and sinewy to the touch, which he didn’t like at all.
Although Su Luoluo still wasn’t a looker, at the rate she was losing weight, it was only a matter of time before her figure became quite nice.
From that perspective, maybe this rotation schedule wasn’t out of the question after all?
Meanwhile, ever since returning yesterday, Xiao Ye hadn’t been able to get the image of Su Luoluo’s sensual figure emerging from the water out of his mind.
It was strange. Su Luoluo’s current appearance wasn’t his type at all, yet he felt a peculiar attraction to her.
It was as if she possessed some kind of magic, making him think of her unconsciously.
Xiao Ye felt this wasn’t normal. He wanted to get closer to Su Luoluo to see if she had used some strange substance on him again.
He had checked himself yesterday and found no trace of the seduction fruit. The desire seemed to be coming from within his own body, leaving him completely baffled.
Fu Feng, naturally, was against the idea. A rotation schedule? Wasn’t it unsanitary for two people to sleep together?
But since the other two didn’t say anything, he kept quiet as well.
Who knew if they were just scheming to use this as an opportunity to get Su Luoluo to make them tasty treats, like that popcorn from before.
Whoever spoke up first would be the one to offend Su Luoluo.
Luan Ting faltered slightly at the words. A rotation schedule?
He recalled going hunting with married Beastmen from the tribe; they often complained about the rotation being unfair.
This must be something all married Beastmen have to go through!
The four of them were lost in their own thoughts, so when the rotation schedule was brought up, not a single one of them objected.
Su Luoluo had been waiting for them to speak up and refuse, but none of them did.
She swept a puzzled glance over the four of them. ’What’s gotten into them now?’
’They’re usually so quick to refuse me. Why are they silent now?’
’This is not normal at all.’
Su Luoluo deliberately waited a while longer. When she saw that no one was going to respond, she had no choice but to find an excuse to shut it down herself:
"Accompany you? If you’re so idle, go do some work! Can’t you see how busy I am every day? When would I have time for this nonsense with you?"
Xi Yi never expected Su Luoluo to actually refuse. His face showed a hint of shock as he said, "But you’re our female master!"
"What female master? Let me remind you one more time: you and I only have a childhood betrothal. Everything else is between me and the other five Beastmen. You have no right to meddle."
She was long tired of Xi Yi constantly calling himself her Beastman.
She had been holding this in for a long time and finally said it.
’If she didn’t say it now, she felt he would just cook up some other huge, troublesome scheme.’
’The system hasn’t tasked me with winning him over, so it’s best to draw a clear boundary between them.’
That was why Su Luoluo laid her cards on the table, to stop him from stirring up trouble every single day.
"Luoluo, how can you say that? I’m your Beastman, too," Xi Yi said, his voice laced with sorrow.
"We don’t even have a Beast Mark Totem. We don’t count as a truly mated pair."
In the Beast World, when a couple mates, a Beast Mark Totem appears on both the female and the Beastman.
Su Luoluo had carefully observed Xi Yi over the past few days and found no trace of a totem on him.
Therefore, Su Luoluo remained suspicious of this Beastman who had seemingly dropped out of the sky.
She had to remain absolutely cautious until the system provided her with confirmation.
"Th-that’s because we were too young back then. We couldn’t form a pact under the Divine Tree."
"Besides, that’s the very reason I came this time."
After saying this, he bit his lip pitifully. "We can form the pact now. Then we’ll have the totem."
