As Shen Tang’s healing power entered Jia Lan’s body, it quickly became active, darting rapidly through his limbs.
However, when she touched a certain area, there was a barrier blocking her power, preventing her from advancing any further.
Strange, what is this?
Shen Tang furrowed her brow and increased the transmission of her superpower, trying to find out more.
But she couldn’t break through the barrier.
An invisible whirlpool even appeared, swiftly devouring her superpower.
Shen Tang’s face turned pale, and she hurriedly withdrew her power.
What is hidden inside Jia Lan’s body?
Unfortunately, her healing superpower level was too low, unable to compete with that thing.
Jia Lan felt as if he were floating in the clouds; his body had never felt so comfortable and relaxed. When Shen Tang withdrew her power, he found it strangely unsettling.
Jia Lan opened his eyes, saw Shen Tang’s pale and weak expression, and was momentarily stunned.
Complex emotions surged in his heart, mixed with an indescribable pity.
She really is different from before.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Jia Lan’s affinity has skyrocketed, reaching the affinity stage, reward: Earth Skill - Earth Skill!]
[Ding! The system has detected that more than half of the Beast Husband relationships have surpassed the [Affinity] stage. Congratulations to the host for triggering a new side mission—]
[Please have intimate contact with any Beast Husband! The most intimate kind!]
[Mission time: three months.]
[Reward: A Mystery Grand Prize.]
Shen Tang had just gotten up, and upon hearing the system’s task, she was shocked, her feet slipping, and she lunged towards the bed.
Her right hand just happened to press down on Jia Lan’s abdomen.
This caused the young man on the bed to arch his back, letting out a painful groan, his handsome face flushed crimson, cold sweat on his forehead, gritted teeth, "Shen Tang! If you want to cripple me, just say it!"
"I, I didn’t mean it, I just felt dizzy, my feet slipped," Shen Tang quickly released her hand.
Jia Lan glared at her, held back, and didn’t make a sound.
When Shen Tang saw the wound on his abdomen reopening, she hurriedly approached to heal him again.
...
Meanwhile, Xiao Jin, who got up at night, happened to pass by the room and heard faint strange noises coming from within.
The man’s soft moaning.
Mixed with a hint of pain, yet seeming like pleasure.
Xiao Jin’s face instantly darkened; he had no peculiar interests and didn’t want to witness a male engaging in craftwork at night, an embarrassing scene! He muttered darkly to himself: The soundproofing of this damn house is so poor, and this fish doesn’t know how to keep it down. Couldn’t it suffocate them to make less noise!
He was about to leave when suddenly he heard Shen Tang’s voice.
She was speaking cautiously.
"Is it... more comfortable now?"
"Does it still hurt?"
Xiao Jin halted his pace, breath stilled; why would the plump girl go to that merman’s room?
What do two people do in a room late at night, a single man and woman? What exactly are they up to?
Xiao Jin turned around halfway, kicked the door open, and caught them in bed.
The two inside were startled, simultaneously looking towards the door.
Shen Tang looked surprised; why did this annoying leopard come over?
Jia Lan’s gaze instantly turned cold, as if he had been interrupted in a good moment.
Xiao Jin stared at the two of them in their fiery posture, temples throbbing—Shen Tang’s hand was on Jia Lan’s waist, very low, and any lower, wouldn’t it be?
He clenched his fists tightly, face sullen, "Shen Tang, you’d better give me a reasonable explanation!"
Since arriving at Greenfield City, she hadn’t seen Xue Yinzhou and thought the Snake Beast had ran away without coming back.
Xue Yinzhou looked deeply at her, "The night before yesterday."
He was accustomed to solitude, hadn’t reported to her, and usually slept on a tree near the courtyard.
[Ahhh, Host don’t be scared, all the Beast Husbands are here, quickly choose one and indulge!] The system’s voice sounded very excited.
Shen Tang’s temples pounded as she cursed the dog system thousands of times in her heart, what kind of ridiculous task was it issuing?
If this group of dog men knew she had such thoughts about them, they would surely kill her!
Shen Tang suppressed the guilt, evaluating the five distinctive Beast Husbands in front. All were top-tier handsome, broad shoulders, narrow waists, long legs, capable of being male models in modern times, tantalizing her knees weak.
Her face flushed and her heart raced; admiring handsome guys was fine, doing the deed was too thrilling.
Moreover, who should she start with?
Shen Li’s affinity was the highest and occasionally teased her, but this shifty fox was treacherous and deep-hearted.
She couldn’t see his true intentions, didn’t even know his real identity.
Unable to share hearts, let alone bodies.
Lu Xiao was gentle yet coldly restrained towards her; she could tell he wasn’t interested in her, impossible to make a move on.
Xiao Jin, the dog man, was domineering and proud, most disgusted by physical contact with her; last time she kissed him, he almost wanted to kill her.
If Shen Tang dared say, "I want to mate with you," he’d probably throw her out to feed the wolves.
Jia Lan was even beyond discussion; he’d rather engage other females to pass his estrous cycle than choose her; obvious repulsion.
Xue Yinzhou was impossible too, if she dared make such ridiculous requests, he’d send her to see the Beast God.
Luckily, he’s not a target to pursue, so directly passed.
"System, this is simply an impossible task, you’re kidding me, right."
Shen Tang pondered repeatedly, still undecided about whom to approach.
