Chapter 13 Xiangxiang's Words
Ling Yu left the water's edge with a carefree air.

No one knew that the system warning in her head was driving her almost insane.

[Host! You have violated the mission guide. If this increases the beastman's aversion to you, you will face severe punishment.]

Punishment? Upon hearing this, Ling Yu's expression turned somewhat grim.

She clenched her fists tightly, her legs so heavy she could barely lift them.

"System, you're a system for winning over people's hearts! Not a system for simps!"

It was clearly Yue who was in the wrong, so why should I be punished?

If you don't even have basic self-respect, what's the point of continuing the mission? A person lives for a sense of pride.

Never be a simp!

[Host! You could have used other methods to reduce Yue's dislike for you. However, your actions just now may have exacerbated Yue's dislike; your approach was wrong!]

[System suggestion: Go back and apologize to Yue as soon as possible to avoid punishment.]

Ling Yu felt even more irritated, suppressing a surge of frustration, and gritted her teeth, saying:

"I'm not going! Let the system punish me if it wants. I did nothing wrong, why should I have to accept it?"

The system went silent.

The atmosphere was tense. Ling Yu took a deep breath, awaiting the impending punishment, when suddenly, the system issued a notification:
[Congratulations, host! Mermaid Moon's dislike for you has decreased by 5! You have received 1 weight-loss miracle pill! Physical strength +5! Reaction speed +5!]

Aversion level decreased?
Three big question marks immediately popped into Ling Yu's mind, and she said incredulously:
"System, the mermaid's dislike for me has decreased? Are you sure?"

For the first time, the system's usually mechanical voice carried a hint of uncertainty:
[Host! Testing shows that Yue's dislike for you has indeed decreased by 5 points! Perhaps the method used to win him over... was a little unusual?]

Ling Yuzai carefully recalled her interaction with Yue just now.

She was certain that Yue would always look at her with disdain and disgust, without the slightest bit of affection.

But why?

Could it be... because I argued with him? Did I really provoke him?!

Is this mermaid a masochist?

Ling Yu stroked her chin thoughtfully. It seemed that she didn't need to suffer indignities when trying to win over this mermaid. She could just scold him, right?
As she thought about it, she couldn't help but feel like laughing.

She loves doing this job!
Not only was there no punishment, but they also received a system reward.

Ling Yu quickly used the weight loss miracle drug and also felt changes in her physical strength and reaction speed, which made her feel much better.

She hadn't forgotten that skin-renewing body lotion; after applying it all over her body, her skin immediately became smooth and supple.

Rough? That no longer exists.

It feels smooth to the touch, no longer rough and prickly.

"Today's mission has been initially accomplished! The overall aversion level of the beastmen has decreased!"

Ling Yu breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to the cave with light steps.

On the way, she suddenly noticed that several people were looking at her strangely, as if they were surprised and curious.

You could still faintly hear them whispering to each other.

"Look, is that still the most notorious evil female in our tribe? She doesn't look like the one I remember."

"Yes, she's gotten so much fairer and thinner?"

"I heard she's really good at grilling meat, and she even shared some with her beastmen. Could she have gone to see the moon in that direction just now?"

"Yue is such a clean freak and hates ugliness, how come she came back so perfectly fine?"

"It's not just Yue, it seems there are several other beastmen as well."

"Could it be that this wicked woman is going to reform?"

As Ling Yu listened to their voices, she thought to herself, "It seems that I have really changed a lot. These people are all very shocked."

She didn't turn around, but actively participated in the discussion.

Let’s do it step by step.

When she arrived outside the cave, she saw Pear sitting and chatting with several females.

Seeing her approaching from afar, Pear immediately stood up to greet her:
"Yu, you're back? Did your beastmen enjoy the delicious food you made?"

Like it? Ling Yu recalled two unbearable memories. Liu had faced her in snake form the entire time, scaring her so much that she almost lost her soul and dropped the meat, running away.

As for Yue, where would she find any meat? Forget about sending meat, she directly gave the other party a good scolding!
She shook her head, saying awkwardly, "It's...it's alright."

At least, the level of aversion has decreased.

Pear smiled and said, "I think you'll like it too. My beast husband has already given you the other beast husbands, so don't worry."

"Thank you, Pear."

Ling Yu looked at the other person sincerely; Li was the person who had been the friendliest to her back then.

Li patted Ling Yu's hand and smiled, "No need to thank me, Yu, you've changed for the better. By the way, the news that you brought meat to your beastmen today has already spread throughout the tribe."

"Especially your barbecue skills. I've told many people about them, and I even shared the meat you gave me. They all said you're amazing and would like to be your friend."

Then, she paused, her tone somewhat comforting:
"However, some people suspect that you have other motives and will say some unpleasant things behind your back, but don't worry about it, time will tell."

At this moment, several females who were on good terms with Pear looked at her with inquisitive eyes.

Ling Yu nodded, her heart filled with gratitude.

She knew that her improved reputation was mainly due to the publicity efforts of the pear.

"But Yu... how come you've lost weight again, and your skin has gotten even whiter? It's even more noticeable than when you left this morning."

Li suddenly noticed the change in Ling Yu's body and looked at her in surprise.

She already looked better than usual this morning, and after not seeing her for half a day, she seems to have looked even better. Her features are more defined, and her skin is whiter.

Ling Yu hesitated for a few seconds, then quickly made up an excuse to explain:
"Maybe it's because I haven't been eating much lately, and I also went swimming in the river."

"So that's it!"

Pear looked at Ling Yu with a sudden realization, "Call me next time you take a shower. But Yu, you look so different from before, your body..."

She leaned closer to Ling Yu and sniffed, then couldn't help but squint her eyes:
"It smells wonderful, a very special fragrance. I've never smelled anything like it before."

At this moment, the female beside her said doubtfully, "Pear, is there something wrong with your sense of smell? How could she possibly smell good?"

"It's good enough that it doesn't smell bad." This half-sentence was muttered to himself.

The other females nodded in agreement, glancing helplessly at the pear.

“Even if she’s willing to teach you how to grill meat, you can’t lie to us and keep praising her. Tell us the facts.”

"Exactly, you think taking a shower will make you smell nice? I don't believe it."

Pear immediately panicked; she was absolutely telling the truth.

She wasn't trying to learn how to grill meat by flattering others; it clearly smelled really, really good.

"If you don't believe me, come and smell her; her skin is smooth now."

These words caused the females to exchange glances, and they all stood up and came over, curiously crowding around Ling Yu.

Ling Yu felt a little embarrassed; it was really strange to be surrounded by people smelling her body odor.

However, she probably knew what the pear tasted like.

The skincare products the system gave her all had a light fragrance, especially the body lotion, which helped her expel impurities from her body. With less waste in her body, she was better cleansed and naturally stopped emitting a foul odor.

"It seems so! Yu, you smell so good!"

"Yes, it smells wonderful and my skin is so smooth! How did you do that?!"

"Can you teach us?"

Everyone gathered around curiously.

This was the first time Ling Yu had ever felt so many kind gazes.

She thought about it and realized that there didn't seem to be such a thing as soap in this world.

She had experimented with the production method while working on an archaeological expedition with her mentor. If she succeeded, not only would everyone be able to clean more thoroughly, but the products would also have a pleasant aroma.

"Sure, but give me some time, everyone. I can make everyone fair-skinned and fragrant."

She laughed and said that just as everyone was cheering happily, two males suddenly walked over aggressively.

They were the orcs following Leopard Lie, and they said coldly to Ling Yu:
"Yu! Lie sent us to find you."
