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

Chapter 38 The Only One I've Given You
Xin Yuan's words made Wen Li pause.

She stopped what she was doing, turned to look at him, and narrowed her eyes: "Are you really unaware, or are you pretending not to know?"

Xin Yuan lowered his eyes. "I don't know."

Wen Li pondered for two seconds and finally decided to lay it all out in order to avoid any embarrassment later.

“I saw you and An Yuan by the stream yesterday,” Wen Li said, enunciating each word clearly.

Xin Yuan suddenly realized.

"You're angry about this."

Just as he guessed, Wen Li was angry because she saw something.

Seeing his calm demeanor, as if he didn't care about what happened yesterday... Wen Li felt a surge of inexplicable irritation.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her agitation, and said, "Xin Yuan, you should still know that you are now my beastly husband, right?"

"Ah."

Xin Yuan stared at her intently, as if deep in thought.

Wen Li continued, "I know you like An Yuan. Three months later, I will dissolve the marriage contract as agreed. After that, you can do whatever you want."

"But during these three months, please consider my feelings and perhaps restrain yourself a little?"

Wen Li explained it very clearly.

Although she, as the wife, had no face to speak of.

If Xin Yuan were to openly express his love for An Yuan again, just like last time... it would really affect her mood for winning her over.

Wen Li is not yet in a state where she can ignore all situations and only focus on the strategy.

"I know, I'm sorry."

Xin Yuan apologized readily, without offering a single word of explanation.

...It's inexplicably infuriating.

Wen Li felt even more upset.

Logically speaking, she should be happy that Xin Yuan apologized and promised not to do it again.

Why am I feeling even worse?

Tsk.

Wen Li was too lazy to think about it anymore and continued to process the ingredients in her hands.

Xin Yuan glanced at her discreetly and could clearly sense that her attitude towards him had turned cold again.

An inexplicable sense of panic spread.

This matter is now their ticking time bomb; no matter who brings it up, it will explode.

Xin Yuan felt that he still needed to explain things clearly.

He moved his lips and said softly, "I gave her the gift not for any other reason than to thank her."

Upon suddenly hearing Xin Yuan's voice, Wen Li glanced at him.

"Yeah."

He gave a perfunctory reply, but couldn't help but sneer inwardly. What a convenient excuse for "thanking you."

"You're quite good at expressing your gratitude, being so generous by giving away a Heavenly Fruit."

Wen Li couldn't help but make a sarcastic remark.

Who's the kind person who gave you a house as a token of gratitude?
The other party is female.

It's more like a gift for a lover.

Some bosses might not even give their mistresses a house, so her beastly husband is quite generous.

Wen Li became increasingly angry the more she thought about it.

Upon hearing her words, a hint of confusion flashed in Xin Yuan's eyes.

"...I didn't give her the Heavenly Fruit."

Xin Yuan's weak voice rang out from the small kitchen.

Wen Li was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?"

“I told you I didn’t give her the Heavenly Fruit.” Xin Yuan frowned and said, “…Did I take the wrong one?”

Wen Li felt her breathing become easier now. She coughed lightly and asked, "Not a Heavenly Fruit? Then what did you send?"

That bright red fruit is clearly a heavenly fruit.

Could it be that Xin Yuan said that on purpose just to fool her?

Thinking of this, Wen Li's gaze turned cold again.

“It’s just an ordinary fruit.” Xin Yuan scratched his cheek and said, “There’s only one Heavenly Fruit, and I’m saving it for you.”

"Huh??" Wen Li was confused by what he said.

"What do you mean there's only one Heavenly Fruit? Aren't those all Heavenly Fruits?"

Xin Yuan tried to understand Wen Li's words and realized that she had misunderstood something.

"Uh... sort of, but there are differences."

Seeing Wen Li's blank expression, Xin Yuan briefly explained the situation of Tian Guo.

Although both are considered natural fruits, only a small portion have beauty benefits; most are ordinary fruits, though they are quite sweet.

Most beastmen are unaware of the difference and assume that any Heavenly Fruit has beautifying effects.

Xin Yuan understood the Heavenly Fruit to be a fruit with cosmetic effects.

He had eaten them several times and knew them much better than most orcs. As for the ordinary fruits, Xin Yuan simply referred to them as "fruits."

He clearly remembered that he had left the only "Heavenly Fruit" to Wen Li.

Xin Yuan stared at Wen Li for a moment and asked, "Did you eat yesterday?"

"I ate one," Wen Li said.

"The fruit you ate, was it a little golden on it?" Xin Yuan asked.

Wen Li thought about it carefully, "Hmm... I guess so."

Actually, she didn't pay much attention.

But the one I picked was the biggest and most beautiful of all the fruits.

Then the next day, my skin became better and whiter.

“That should be correct,” Xin Yuan said.

This is the effect that Tianguo can achieve.

Wen Li was slow to realize it.

So it seems that Xin Yuan saved the best for her?

What An Yuan received was just an ordinary fruit?

The values ​​involved are vastly different.

Wen Li's mood was somewhat complicated, but it had improved considerably.

He still expressed his doubts, saying, "Who knows? Maybe you sent me a Heavenly Fruit."

Upon hearing this, Xin Yuan gave a wry smile.

"There aren't that many Heavenly Fruits."

The growing conditions for this special fruit are extremely harsh; sometimes not a single one can be produced in a whole year.

That old snake was already being generous by sharing one with him.

If he were to actually harvest all of his Heavenly Fruit, Xin Yuan felt he would die there, flat and mushy.

Wen Li understood this principle herself and did not continue to press the issue.

She then asked, "You said you wanted to thank An Yuan, how did she help you?"

Xin Yuan explained, "Not long ago... I encountered a crazed stray beast, and An Yuan helped me."

Some time ago, stray beasts had been appearing around the tribe, though there weren't as many back then. He went out hunting that day and, unfortunately, encountered a crazed stray beast.

The opponent's talent is only A-level, not as good as Xin Yuan's, but his strength is greatly enhanced when he enters berserk mode.

The two fought fiercely, and Xin Yuan finally managed to kill his opponent, but he didn't gain any advantage and was covered in injuries.

Having survived the ordeal, Xin Yuan lay on the ground, his heart pounding.

It was at this moment that An Yuan appeared.

She carefully bandaged Xin Yuan's wounds, then accompanied him back to the tribe, as gentle as an angel.

Wen Li blinked hard. "When did this happen? How come I didn't know?"

This part wasn't in the original owner's memories.

Xin Yuan looked at her, something flashing in his eyes, but in the end he shook his head and said, "Anyway, it's all in the past."

Wen Li keenly sensed something was amiss.

"When exactly is it? Tell me."

Xin Yuan lowered his head and hesitated before saying, "It was the day you scolded me for being lazy, have you forgotten?"

Wen Li searched through her memories.

The reason was finally found, and it felt like a bolt from the blue.

So that’s it!
