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

Chapter 9 Zhu Yan's Visit
The sound from the cave entrance was very familiar; Wen Li remembered hearing it yesterday.

Recalling the fleeting red figure from just now, her body began to tremble uncontrollably.

Depend on!
Zhu Yan!

Why is Zhu Yan here?
Wen Li peered anxiously into the cave, wanting to find a place to hide. She didn't want to see Zhu Yan for the time being.

This man almost strangled her to death; it was terrifying.

"Xin Yuan!"

Zhu Yan's voice came from afar and grew closer.

Xin Yuan's cave was not large, but he keenly noticed Wen Li's unease and unusual behavior.

"What's wrong?" Xin Yuan asked.

Wen Li pointed outside the cave and said in a low voice, "I...I don't want to see him. Can you pretend I'm not here?"

Wen Li didn't even need to think that once Zhu Yan found out she was with Xin Yuan, he would definitely expose her sinister face.

The two cannot meet right now!

She also couldn't let Zhu Yan know that she was with Xin Yuan.

Xin Yuan looked puzzled; he didn't know what had happened between Wen Li and Zhu Yan.

However, he still agreed to Wen Li's request.

For the sake of the delicious food.

"can."

"Xin Yuan, aren't you here?" Zhu Yan's voice came again.

It's very close, right at the entrance.

However, Zhu Yan did not enter Xin Yuan's cave without permission, but stopped at the entrance and stood straight.

Xin Yuan replied, "I'm here, please wait a moment."

He put down what he was holding and turned to walk towards the cave entrance.

Lifting the curtain, one could see Zhu Yan standing at the door.

Zhu Yan was holding a few pheasants in her hand. "Here, take these."

Xin Yuan naturally accepted it and nodded, "Wait for me a moment."

After saying that, he carried the pheasant into the cave and put it down in a corner.

Next, he took two strings of wild boar meat that had been processed the day before from the shelf and carried them out.

Before turning around, Xin Yuan glanced at Wen Li, who was huddled behind the stone wall, but didn't ask her anything.

"Brother Zhu Yan, this is for you," Xin Yuan said.

Zhu Yan did not refuse and readily accepted the wild boar meat from Xin Yuan's hand.

To be honest, although Wen Li's beast husbands didn't like her, they had a pretty good relationship in private.

Perhaps it's because they both had the same experience of being forced into this situation that they sympathized with each other.

The group would exchange prey in private. For example, the wild boar that Xin Yuan hunted yesterday was processed and divided into several portions, which he then sent to each of them.

However, Wen Li currently only has three beast husbands: Xin Yuan, Zhu Yan, and Bai Yanci.

The other two left after Wen Li's mother passed away, without saying what they were going to do or when they would return.

Xin Yuan was the youngest of the five beastmen.

Zhu Yan and Bai Yanci were much older than him, so they usually took good care of him.

"Are you going hunting later?" Zhu Yan asked.

Xin Yuan nodded. "Yes, I'm packing it up."

Zhu Yan nodded, then changed the subject, "Have you seen Wen Li?"

This was Zhu Yan's main purpose in coming here.

Perhaps thinking that Xin Yuan and Wen Li didn't interact much on a daily basis and might not even remember her name, Zhu Yan added, "Our mistress."

Xin Yuan recalled Wen Li's words earlier and shook his head, saying, "No."

This was the first time Xin Yuan had ever seen Zhu Yan actively seek out Wen Li, and even ask about him.

Xin Yuan asked in confusion, "Brother Zhu Yan, why did you suddenly seek her out?"

Zhu Yan got angry at the mention of this, his brows furrowing with agitation. "Tsk, I wonder where she's run off to."

After Wen Li left his cave yesterday, he disappeared without a trace, as if he had evaporated, and didn't even return to his cave at night.

The two are also bound by a marriage contract, so if anything happens to Wen Li, they will suffer the consequences.

As a result, Zhu Yan had to search everywhere for Wen Li. From morning onwards, he searched almost the entire tribe, but still couldn't find Wen Li.

Now even Bai Yanci is helping to find the person. Zhu Yan came here specifically to ask Xin Yuan if he had seen the person and to keep an eye out for them.

"Did you two have a fight?" Xin Yuan asked curiously.

"No," Zhu Yan replied curtly.

"What happened? How could she suddenly disappear?" Xin Yuan continued to ask.

Zhu Yan really didn't want to recall what happened yesterday, so he clapped his hands and waved them, looking like he didn't want to answer any more questions.

"Don't worry about this for now. If you see her, remember to let me know."

After saying this, Zhu Yan turned and took his leave.

After taking a step, he remembered something and warned Xin Yuan, "This female is very cunning. Be careful if you see her."

Xin Yuan nodded.

Soon, Zhu Yan left the vicinity of Xinyuan Cave.

A faint sound came from the cave entrance.

Zhu Yan didn't turn his head and said calmly, "Brother Zhu Yan has left. You can come out now."

There was a moment of silence inside, followed by the sound of the curtain being lifted.

Wen Li peeked out and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that Zhu Yan was not outside.

“You heard it all, didn’t you? Brother Zhu Yan has been looking for you,” Xin Yuan said.

"Ah."

Wen Li heard everything, of course.

Zhu Yan spoke without keeping his voice down, and Wen Li could hear him clearly from inside the cave.

But he still didn't want to go back, and he still didn't want to see the other person.

Xin Yuan turned around and stared at Wen Li with a complicated look in his eyes. "What exactly did you do to make Brother Zhu Yan say that you are insidious?"

"I……"

Wen Li opened her mouth, but couldn't say anything, so she could only laugh awkwardly twice.

You can't exactly say she had ulterior motives towards Zhu Yan, secretly drugged him, and wanted to have his body!
If Xin Yuan knew all this, he would be crazy not to drive her away.

"I just... offended him," Wen Li said vaguely.

Xin Yuan didn't reply, but just silently looked at Wen Li.

He thought of Zhu Yan's words not long ago—

"This female is very cunning; you must be careful if you see her."

Xin Yuan began, "If you have nothing else to do, then today..."

Wen Li realized he was trying to get rid of her, so she immediately interrupted, "Are you going hunting later? Can I go with you? I want to see what ingredients I can use to make something delicious."

Wen Li spoke very quickly.

joke!

She can't let Xin Yuan drive her away now.

Once she leaves, the nature of her trying to win over Xin Yuan again will be completely different.

When Xin Yuan finds out what she did to Zhu Yan, things will become even more difficult.

Not to mention that Zhu Yan and the others take such good care of Xin Yuan, if they knew she had any intention of getting close to Xin Yuan, they would definitely stop her.

The only way is for her to stay; that's how much favorability she can gain.

Xin Yuan was initially hesitant, but when he heard Wen Li say that she was going to make something delicious, he hesitated again.

Wen Li noticed his hesitation and pressed her advantage.

"I remember there are taro balls nearby. They're delicious in soups or stir-fries. Try them when I've made them."

Xin Yuan thought of the meat soup that Wen Li had made not long ago.

That tasted like the best meat soup he had ever had in his life, and he still remembers it fondly.

After two meals, Xin Yuan was certain that Wen Li's cooking skills were indeed excellent; even her taro cakes wouldn't be bad.

Tempted by the delicious food, Xin Yuan finally agreed.

"it is good."
