Reincarnated as her wicked older sister who has been cleansed up, she attracts a swarm of beastly hu

Chapter 28 You've fallen for her?

"If you're not going to eat, then you made a special trip..."

Zhu Yan's puzzled words abruptly stopped after he realized something.

He remembered that the fruit was very sweet. Males usually didn't like such sweet fruit, but it was quite popular among females.

Zhu Yan immediately realized, "You picked it for Wen Li?"

His eyes were filled with astonishment as he looked at Xin Yuan.

Xin Yuan nodded frankly, "Yes."

"You..." Zhu Yan hesitated, "Why? You wouldn't have fallen for her, would you?"

That giant snake was quite troublesome.

Although Zhu Yan had never confronted it directly, he had heard many rumors about it.

Many males from surrounding tribes tried to pick fruit for their wives to please them, but ended up being devoured by the giant serpent.

Such incidents are not uncommon.

Delicious fruit is not so easy to pick.

Zhu Yan knew Xin Yuan's strength all too well, and it was rare to see him so disheveled, which also demonstrated the giant serpent's power.

Is it necessary for him to take this risk for Wen Li?

If it was Xin Yuan who wanted to eat it, Zhu Yan could understand, since Xin Yuan's only hobby was food.

This was the first time he had ever seen someone go to such lengths for a female.

Recalling the intimacy between Xin Yuan and Wen Li these past few days, and the changes in Xin Yuan, the thought of "liking" took shape in Zhu Yan's mind.

"……like?"

Xin Yuan didn't understand the "like" Zhu Yan mentioned, and scratched his cheek in slight confusion.

After thinking carefully for a moment, he gave an answer: "I don't know either."

Xin Yuan wasn't sure if he liked Wen Li. The feeling of "liking" was too foreign to him, and he had never experienced it before.

Zhu Yan sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation.

However, the only thing that is certain is that Xin Yuan wants to thank Wen Li.

Xin Yuan said earnestly, "I didn't mean anything by it, I just wanted to thank her. After all, she's been cooking for me these past few days and even used her blood to heal the curse. What's wrong with that?"

Xin Yuan had always noticed how good Wen Li was to him.

Thanks to Wen Li for taking charge of cooking, his meals have improved a lot these past few days. He's full, enjoys his food, and has more energy for hunting.

As for bloodletting, it goes without saying that Wen Li essentially saved his life.

"I don't know how to thank her properly," Xin Yuan muttered softly. "The only thing I can think of is to let her try this."

He held up the brightly colored, plump fruit in his hand.

It's said that females like this, and I hope she will too.

Zhu Yan thought about it and agreed.

After observing Wen Li for the past few days, he found that she had not done anything outrageous.

Not only did they cooperate with bloodletting every day to cure Xin Yuan's curse, but they also tried to find ways to make many delicious foods for them.

Zhu Yan suddenly felt embarrassed.

He had eaten a lot of meals cooked by Wen Li these past few days, but he hadn't thought about thanking her.

Logically, they should be the ones cooking for Wen Li, but now it's the other way around.

Xin Yuan's sudden display of "sensibility" makes him seem rather immature.

Zhu Yan felt a little awkward.

I wondered if he should do something too...?
"Brother, let's go back." Xin Yuan had done what he wanted to do, and now they could take the prey home directly.

"Okay, sure," Zhu Yan replied, hoisting the prey he had caught that day onto his shoulder.

The two gradually ventured deeper into the mountains, and it would still be some distance before they could return to their tribe.

At a fork in the road, Xin Yuan stopped again.

"What is it now?" Zhu Yan asked.

Xin Yuan said, "I remember there are insect-repelling herbs around here." "They're over here. Do you want to pick some to take back?" Zhu Yan pointed to the road on the east side.

"Let's pick some to take back," Xin Yuan said.

Zhu Yan glanced at him. "Is this prepared for her again?"

Before setting off in the morning, Zhu Yan did not miss the large, red, swollen bump on Wen Li's arm.

It was only after Xin Yuan mentioned picking medicinal herbs that Zhu Yan belatedly realized what was going on.

In this respect, he was not as meticulous as Xin Yuan.

More importantly, he didn't care about Wen Li.

At least Xin Yuan didn't care.

“Hmm, the insect-repelling herbs in her cave should have lost their medicinal effect by now. Brother, the ones in your cave are about the same. Pick more this time,” Xin Yuan said.

"Oh." A strange feeling welled up in Zhu Yan's heart again.

Pick them, go ahead and pick them.

The two continued along the path on the east side, and suddenly a huge lake appeared ahead.

Xin Yuan immediately noticed the blue flowers growing by the lake.

This is a water chestnut, and its leaves have insect-repelling properties, so people simply call its leaves "insect-repelling grass".

Xin Yuan threw the dead prey in his hand to the ground and walked towards Ling Hua.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan also put down his prey.

Xin Yuan had already begun collecting insect-repelling herbs, and Zhu Yan followed along.

However, Zhu Yan did not collect too many, only a small cluster.

"There's no need to collect that much; it can only last for a month," Zhu Yan reminded her.

The insect-repelling effect of the insect-repelling herb only lasts for a month at most. After a month, they will still have to come and harvest it.

Xin Yuan said, "It's alright, you and Yan Ci will need it too. Also, Brother Shen and the others will be back soon, right?"

“Hmm.” Zhu Yan didn’t try to persuade him any further. He stood up, glanced in a certain direction, and said to Xin Yuan, “I’ll go take a look around.”

"it is good."

Xin Yuan didn't ask him where he was going, and continued to pick the insect-repelling herbs in front of him.

Soon, a small group of people gathered around him.

The lake in front of us is surrounded by mountains and rocks, with some unknown leaves and flowers growing on the rock walls.

Zhu Yan walked straight to the edge of the mountain and nimbly climbed up.

He picked some white flowers from the rock face and put them in his animal skin bag.

After roughly counting the number and deciding that it was about right, they started to walk back.

Upon arriving at the place where water chestnuts grow, Xin Yuan had already collected enough insect-repelling herbs.

"Brother, I'm all better now." Xin Yuan grabbed the insect-repelling grass from the ground.

Zhu Yan said, "I'm all better now."

They stuffed the collected insect-repelling herbs into the baskets they had brought beforehand, and the two continued on their way with their prey.

"Let's go to the riverbank and clean these things up before we go back," Zhu Yan said.

Xin Yuan nodded, "Okay."

Wen Li and her two companions were catching fish by the river.

I don't know how Meng Yu discovered such a good place. There are quite a lot of fish, and they are fat and big. They are also very sharp, so it's not easy to catch one.

Thanks to Wen Li's tireless efforts, several were caught and placed on the shore.

"I can't take it anymore, I'm exhausted." Meng Yu was panting heavily after catching a fish, and put her hands on her hips and rubbed her forehead.

Zhao Yi looked at his wife with concern, "If you're tired, go rest on the shore for a while. You can leave it to me."

He stopped what he was doing, helped Meng Yu to sit down on the shore, and even found a flat and comfortable rock for Meng Yu to sit on.

Wen Li was caught off guard and had to eat a big mouthful of dog food (a Chinese slang term for witnessing public displays of affection).
