Among the five beast husbands, only Xin Yuan’s favorability was not negative… It was quite a feat.
This also indirectly indicated that Wen Li’s choice to conquer Xin Yuan first was correct.
After all, judging by Xin Yuan’s attitude, he was clearly less resistant to her than the others.
With this in mind, a memory surfaced in Wen Li’s mind.
The reason for this was quite amusing.
Xin Yuan had a good impression of the original host because the original host didn’t like youthful beastmen like Xin Yuan.
Compared to Xin Yuan’s type, the original host preferred mature men like Zhu Yan and Bai Yanci, so her first targets were the two of them.
Xin Yuan hadn’t been schemed against by the original host much, and they didn’t interact much, so his impression of her remained “a kind-hearted but ugly female.”
It was a fortunate coincidence.
“We’re here, where are you going?”
Xin Yuan’s reminder came from behind.
Wen Li snapped back to reality and found that she had walked quite a distance, and Xin Yuan was standing at the entrance of his cave looking at her.
Wen Li awkwardly returned.
To be honest, she didn’t know the exact location of Xin Yuan’s home, only a general direction.
This was her first time here today.
Xin Yuan’s cave was kept neat and tidy; he was a clean male.
Wen Li noticed that something was drying near Xin Yuan’s cave.
Upon closer inspection, there were some fruits, dried into fruit jerky, of several different types.
Following the original host’s memory, Wen Li recognized these fruits as common wild fruits from the vicinity.
From this, it was clear that Xin Yuan had a good understanding of food.
Xin Yuan noticed her gaze.
Seeing her staring at his dried fruits, he asked, “Want to try some?”
Wen Li nodded.
Xin Yuan took a few of the dried fruits and handed them to Wen Li, then said:
“Here, sit here for a while, I’ll get you something to eat.”
Wen Li took the dried fruits Xin Yuan handed her and found a rock to sit on.
She tasted the dried fruits while observing her surroundings.
The dried fruits were bland, not particularly delicious, and Wen Li put them down after a couple of bites.
She then looked around, her small eyes scanning back and forth, her face full of curiosity.
However, this slightly naive expression didn’t suit Wen Li’s face.
If she were even a little more beautiful, it would have a different charm.
But on her ugly face… it looked rather lewd.
It was more like a pervert spying on someone’s home with ulterior motives.
Xin Yuan had originally wanted to say something to Wen Li, but upon seeing her expression, he felt a chill.
He quickly walked into the cave.
Wen Li didn’t miss the fleeting chill on Xin Yuan’s face.
Wen Li: “…”
She was disliked.
Being so openly disliked, Wen Li felt a little uncomfortable, but considering her current appearance, she quickly restrained her expression.
Indeed, no matter the world, people are cruel to the ugly.
Wen Li sighed inwardly, not knowing what to do next.
How was she supposed to conquer him!
With this face, anything she did would look like sexual harassment.
She was afraid that Xin Yuan’s favorability would only decrease and enter negative territory.
While Wen Li was agonizing, Xin Yuan came out carrying two strings of pork.
One of the strings was from the best part of the wild boar, and Xin Yuan handed it to Wen Li.
“This is for you.”
Wen Li didn’t expect him to give her such good meat and was somewhat flattered.
“Thank you.”
Xin Yuan nodded and sat down, “This is tonight’s dinner.”
By this time, the sky had already darkened unnoticed.
Since Wen Li was by Xin Yuan’s side now, as one of her beast husbands, he had to be responsible for her dinner.
Although Xin Yuan disliked Wen Li, he never shirked his responsibilities as a beast husband.
Except… for procreation.
Speaking of which, it had been three months since the original host entered into marriage contracts with the five beast husbands, and a year had not yet passed. They had never had any substantial relationship.
The original host was still a virgin female.
After sitting down, Xin Yuan skillfully lit a fire.
Then, he took out his stone blade and began to cut the meat into small pieces.
Xin Yuan placed the cut meat pieces on a large leaf and handed it to Wen Li.
“Eat.”
Although the meat had been washed, because it was raw, Wen Li smelled a strong gamey odor.
Her original form was a rabbit, a herbivore, so she didn’t eat much meat to begin with.
Suddenly smelling such a strong gamey odor, her stomach churned.
Wen Li suppressed it with effort, swallowed hard, and said:
“Do I just eat it like this?”
Xin Yuan nodded calmly, ignoring Wen Li, and began to tear and bite into the raw meat.
Wen Li’s scalp tingled instantly, and she looked away.
As a modern person, she couldn’t accept eating raw meat.
There was a fire pit nearby, so Wen Li put aside the raw meat Xin Yuan gave her and picked up some branches from nearby.
Xin Yuan silently watched her actions, saying nothing.
Wen Li found two branches, cleaned them briefly, pierced the raw meat with them, and began to roast it.
Xin Yuan looked at her actions in confusion, “What are you doing?”
“I want to roast it and eat it,” Wen Li explained.
“Roasted, can it be delicious?” Xin Yuan’s expression was slightly surprised.
He had studied food quite a bit and had tried roasting meat, but the taste was mediocre, and it was even more troublesome than eating it raw.
On the beast world continent, beastmen ate meat raw, which was quick and convenient, and they never bothered with such troublesome things.
“I’ll finish roasting it in a bit, you can try it,” Wen Li said.
Xin Yuan said nothing.
He just silently watched her turn the branches in her hands, wondering – when did this pampered Wen Li learn to roast meat?
The nights on the beast world continent were very dark. The fire burned the firewood, making crackling sounds.
As the night wind blew, the flickering firelight reflected on both of their faces.
With the same lighting and similar angles, Wen Li’s face and Xin Yuan’s were like two extremes.
One was a descended beauty goddess.
The other was broken and rugged.
Wen Li stared intently at the roasted meat in her hands, occasionally glancing at Xin Yuan, sighing at his beauty.
Xin Yuan looked like a model, a meticulously carved anime model.
In her original world, Wen Li had never seen such looks.
She couldn’t even dream of someone so good-looking.
In the same environment, and both being beastmen.
Xin Yuan couldn’t bear to look at Wen Li for too long; she was too ugly.
Under the glow of the fire, Wen Li’s already unattractive face looked even more hideous.
Looking at her for another moment would make him explode.
To be honest, Xin Yuan was also quite frustrated. Wen Li’s mother was a renowned beauty, so how could her daughter be so ugly…
As time passed, under the roasting of the flames, the moderately fatty meat began to render its oils, and a charred aroma filled the air.
Wen Li took a deep sniff. It smelled delicious!
The meat on this beast world continent even smelled better than the meat from her original world.
With this aroma, it should be cooked in another five minutes.
Xin Yuan, who was still chewing raw meat, was gradually attracted by the aroma.
He had never imagined that meat could smell so good after being roasted.
Wen Li noticed Xin Yuan’s gaze and had an idea.
She proposed, “Want to try some?”
