Chapter 82: Chapter 84: That Bastard Xiao Ye
When Su Luoluo woke up again, Xiao Ye wasn’t by her side. She didn’t know where he had gone.
She was lying by herself under a piece of beast skin, with a lush, large tree overhead.
Before she had even fully woken up, the System’s cheerful voice rang out.
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for successfully capturing Xiao Ye. His Heartbeat Value and attraction value have both reached 100, maintaining a perfect score. The System will now upgrade his Stone Brain to a Filter Brain.]
Su Luoluo didn’t much care about the Filter Brain. To her, any Romantic Brain Level was just a means to an end—a way to get her rewards.
She asked, concerned, "So, I succeeded. What’s the reward? Did my Water Ability get an upgrade?"
The moment the words left her mouth, Su Luoluo realized her voice was as hoarse as a wild duck’s squawk.
All that came out was a vibration; you couldn’t understand a word. It sounded even worse than a rusty saw cutting through wood.
’This throat...’
’That damn Xiao Ye. What an asshole.’
The System heard Su Luoluo’s hoarse voice and let out a snicker. "Tsk, tsk. His stamina is really something else. He even wore a big girl like you to the point of collapse."
Su Luoluo shot it a glare. "You know, System, sometimes you don’t have to talk."
Since what’s done was done, Su Luoluo dropped the pretense. She glared fiercely at the System. "Stop teasing me and tell me what the reward is!"
’I couldn’t have gone through all that for nothing!’
’Although, in a way, I did enjoy it.’
’Still, she wanted to know what kind of reward she’d get for sleeping with a target, since she still had a few more to go.’
At her words, the System grew serious and recited in its mechanical voice:
[Ding, congratulations, Host. Your progress with the target has entered a new stage. Reward: Earth Ability upgraded to Level 2. Bonus gift: one Metal Shovel.]
"Wait, what happened to the Water Ability you promised?" She had exhausted herself for this, so why did her Earth Ability get upgraded instead?
"The Water Ability is your primary superpower. It can only be rewarded for capturing higher-level targets. Keep up the good work, Host!"
’What a rip-off. Is it trying to hold me back?’
’With a Level 4 Water Ability, I could control the flow of water however I want.’
’Is this System afraid I’ll become too powerful?!’
’Still, having a Second Level Earth Ability is fine. I just wonder what it can do?’
"System, is there a user guide for the Second Level Earth Ability?"
"It’s in the system backpack. The Host can consult it at any time."
Su Luo glanced around. After confirming Xiao Ye was gone, she opened the user guide for the Earth Ability in her system.
Second Level Earth Element: Allows you to freely manipulate soil, molding it into any shape you desire.
’Any shape I desire?’
’Other than building houses or bridges, what use is this in daily life?’
After reading it, Su Luoluo’s lip twitched.
She glanced over it again. Just as she was about to put the guide away, she noticed a small line of text below the large font.
This ability is not limited by form and can be used in any space.
’Not limited by form.’ Seeing this, Su Luoluo’s eyes lit up.
’I wonder... could I do something about this face of mine?’
She thought for a moment, then focused her will, using her Earth Ability to reshape her flat nose.
’Hehe, now I have a high-bridged nose.’
Once she was done, Su Luoluo got up and headed for the riverbank.
She couldn’t wait to get to the river to see if it had actually worked.
But as soon as she stood up and took a few steps, she realized her legs were so sore she could barely move.
She instinctively glanced down at her legs and saw that, beneath her Beast Skin Skirt, her thighs were a horrible sight.
Her skin was already dark, yet she could still see purple bruises. It was obvious how much force that lecherous Snake Beast, Xiao Ye, had used.
’No wonder it’s so hard to even walk.’
She immediately cursed Xiao Ye up and down in her mind.
「Meanwhile.」 Xiao Ye, who was off picking wild fruit, was in an excellent mood.
’Su Luoluo might be a bit fat, but she feels incredible to the touch.’
’The skin of a female is so different from a Beastman’s.’
’He used to scoff at the mating that went on in the tribe, wondering why everyone was so addicted to it.’
’But now that he’d experienced it for himself, he realized it felt amazing.’
At the thought of everything that happened yesterday, Xiao Ye’s eyes darkened, and his breathing grew heavy.
’I really want to do it again...’
’But for now, I need to make sure Su Luoluo is well-fed.’
’That chubby girl looks pretty sturdy, but she passed out from exhaustion so quickly yesterday. Her stamina is really awful.’
With this in mind, he carefully cradled the wild fruits he’d picked and headed back in Su Luoluo’s direction.
Just as he emerged from the woods, he saw that Su Luoluo had gotten up from under the tree and was standing by the path.
Seeing that Su Luoluo was awake, he walked over with a wide smile. "You’re awake? I picked some wild fruit. We can have breakfast."
Su Luoluo still carried the scent he had left on her, and Xiao Ye couldn’t help but take another sniff.
Watching him sniffing the air and thinking about how she could barely move, Su Luoluo’s eyes darkened. "Xiao Ye, what are you doing?"
’Of course, he was smelling the scent he had left on Su Luoluo.’
When Snake Beastmen fancy something, they leave their scent on it as a mark.
Xiao Ye replied matter-of-factly, "I’m smelling the scent I left on you."
"What?" Su Luoluo froze.
’This guy even marks his territory.’
Xiao Ye said proudly, "This way, when other Beastmen smell my scent on you, they’ll know you’re mine."
Su Luoluo: "..."
Su Luoluo glanced around. There wasn’t anyone else here.
’Talk about possessive.’
Whatever. She was too tired to even come up with a retort.
"Were you out looking for an exit? Did you find a way out?"
’We’ve been at the bottom of this canyon for a day already. I need to get out of here and change my clothes.’
At her question, Xiao Ye’s eyes flickered. He handed her the wild fruit. "Not yet. Eat some fruit first!"
’He suddenly thought this place was perfect. Just the two of them, living a secluded, shameless life together.’
’That’s why he’d completely forgotten about finding a way out when he woke up this morning.’
Su Luoluo had no idea what Xiao Ye was thinking. She unceremoniously snatched a wild fruit from his hand, took a bite, and ordered, "We need to get out of here soon. Otherwise, it’ll get dark and foggy again."
’She was in no condition to do anything, so of course she was counting on Xiao Ye.’
’He had been so proactive about finding an exit yesterday; Su Luoluo never would have guessed he’d have a hidden agenda.’
’But for someone who looked so rough, Xiao Ye had certainly picked the fruit well. It wasn’t the least bit tart—it was actually very sweet.’
Seeing Su Luoluo eat several more, Xiao Ye knew she liked them. He quickly placed a few more in her hand, his voice gentle. "If that’s not enough, I have more."
Su Luoluo took a bite of another fruit. Hearing his gentle tone, she gave Xiao Ye a suspicious look. ’So this guy has a gentle side after all.’
