Chapter 25 Cousin
Zhu Yan wanted to ask more questions, but Wen Li had already gotten up and walked towards the well.
Seeing his surprised and uncertain look, Xin Yuan explained, "Wen Li only recently awakened her special ability."
Zhu Yan frowned, hesitated for a long time, and finally said nothing.
After the meal, Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan prepared to go hunting.
There was very little left in the house, except for some tomatoes and potatoes that Wen Li hadn't finished using in the kitchen.
“I’ll go with you,” Wen Li said.
She went with them; maybe they could find other ingredients.
Xin Yuan thought of the stray beast the two of them had encountered the day before and refused.
"Don't go out today, just stay home. Zhu Yan and I will take care of finding food."
Zhu Yan didn't speak, but his expression conveyed the same meaning.
Xin Yuan continued, "It's not appropriate for us to go deep into the back mountain with you in tow."
Wen Li's words caught in her throat.
So you're saying you think she's a burden, huh?
"I understand," Wen Li said.
Xin Yuan and Zhu Yan left.
Logically, one of the beastmen should be left to protect Wen Li, but there are simply not enough people.
Bai Yanci loathed Wen Li so much that he would never protect her. He would just throw her some food to keep her from starving.
Besides the three people, the original owner also had two beast husbands.
Both of them have gone on a long trip and haven't returned yet. We don't know when they'll come back.
After Xin Yuan and Zhu Yan left, the house felt much emptier.
Their decision to venture deep into the mountains together was also aimed at capturing more animals.
Winter is coming to the beast world.
In order to survive the winter, they must stockpile more food before winter arrives.
Wen Li was bored at home by herself, so she looked around to find something to do.
She first cleaned the front yard and then rearranged the furniture in her cave.
After working for half a day, Wen Li was panting heavily.
Time flies, and three days have passed in the blink of an eye.
The three of them lived in peace. Wen Li took charge of cooking, while Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan would go hunting every day after their meals.
The two were exceptionally skilled, and every day they would return with a bounty of prey, filling their small kitchen to the brim.
For the past three days, Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan have been leaving early and returning late every day.
Wen Li only interacted with them when they ate.
Fewer interactions mean a slower increase in favorability.
Wen Li's favorability points accumulated over the past three days totaled less than ten points, a pitifully small amount.
Just like playing a game, if no special event is triggered, the favorability will increase slowly.
"We walked."
After breakfast, Xin Yuan and Zhu Yan set off hunting.
Before setting off, Xin Yuan would always say this to Wen Li.
Zhu Yan nodded to Wen Li as well.
He didn't react much for the first two days. Perhaps he was influenced by Xin Yuan, or perhaps he felt embarrassed to be too cold after eating Wen Li's cooking for three days.
Wen Li scratched the itchy bumps on her arm and reminded her, "Be careful."
After the two left, Wen Li quickly looked at the large, red, swollen welts on her arm from mosquito bites.
Starting yesterday, the herbs she placed in the cave lost their insect-repelling effect, and several mosquitoes got in last night, leaving Wen Li with several bites.
The other bumps had disappeared by the time she woke up in the morning, but this one was still red and swollen, and the more she scratched it, the itchier it became.
Wen Li planned to go find the witch doctor to get some herbs later.
After quickly packing up, Wen Li set off to find the witch doctor.
Wen Li had been staying at home for the past three days and was so bored she felt like she was going to mold.
Following the original owner's memories, Wen Li walked towards the center of the tribe, seeing several patrol teams along the way.
It's said that some females in the tribe have recently been captured by stray beasts, and the tribe has increased the number of patrols to protect them. Wen Li has also heard about this and hasn't dared to go out for the past three days, since she doesn't have a beastman to protect her.
I had no other choice but to go out today.
The further you go, the more orcs you encounter.
Wen Li saw several familiar faces, but none of them recognized her, and Wen Li was too embarrassed to greet them.
Her transformation was too great for some orcs who were unfamiliar with her.
The tribe members had no other impression of Wen Li except that she was ugly.
However, Wen Li's appearance is not bad now. Although her facial features are still rough, her skin and figure are no different from those of a normal person.
She evolved from a disgusting, ugly creature into a less attractive female.
Wen Li walked for a while longer.
The closer you get to the center of the tribe, the more lively it becomes, and the number of females also increases significantly.
Some enthusiastic females took the initiative to come up and greet Wen Li.
"Where are you from? I've never seen you in the tribe before."
Wen Li was suddenly stopped and looked at the person who came in with a puzzled expression.
She quickly recognized him.
"Meng Yun".
Wen Li called out the other person's name.
Meng Yun pointed at himself, bewildered. "You know me? I don't know you!"
Meng Yun is Meng Yu's younger sister.
Wen Li and Meng Yu have always had a good relationship, so she naturally knows her younger sister Meng Yun.
Wen Li asked, "Where is your sister?"
Meng Yun still looked puzzled. "Who are you? How do you know my sister?"
Wen Li belatedly realized that she had changed so much that Meng Yun did not recognize her. She said, "I am Wen Li."
Upon hearing this, Meng Yun took a few steps back as if he had seen a ghost, his eyes scanning Wen Li up and down. "You're Wen Li? You're kidding me."
Wen Li shouldn't be... Meng Yun tried to recall what Wen Li used to look like, but found that he couldn't remember her at all.
Strange, why can't she remember what Wen Li looked like before?
But... my only impression is that it's ugly!
The Wen Li in front of me isn't particularly pretty, but she's not ugly either.
Meng Yun was bewildered in the wind.
It had been quite a while since she last saw Wen Li. Since her mother passed away, Wen Li had rarely gone out, and Meng Yun hadn't seen her much either.
Meng Yun was completely absorbed in his own thoughts.
Wen Li asked again, "Where's your sister?"
Meng Yun pointed in a direction and said, "My sister is there."
Wen Li turned her head and looked over, and just then she saw Meng Yu and her former beast husband.
"Thanks, I'll be going now."
Wen Li was just about to say hello to Meng Yu.
After speaking with Meng Yun, she quickly jogged towards Meng Yu.
"Meng Yu!"
As soon as Wen Li called out, Meng Yu looked over.
Upon seeing Wen Li again, Meng Yu was visibly stunned.
After a long pause, he tentatively asked, "Wen Li?"
Meng Yu had seen Wen Li a few days ago, but Wen Li now looked completely different.
"It's me." Wen Li smiled, revealing her bright white teeth.
Meng Yu exclaimed in surprise, "It really is you! You've become even more beautiful!"
Meng Yu couldn't keep her voice down. As soon as she finished speaking, Wen Li felt a rather noticeable gaze fall on her.
For some reason, Wen Li felt a sense of repulsion.
She glanced over instinctively and met An Yuan's smiling face.
When An Yuan saw Wen Li looking over, she greeted her with a sweet voice and a smile, "Cousin~"
