As she walked through the mountains and forests, various beastmen greeted Xiang Wan, and some even handed her freshly picked fruit.

Seeing everyone getting along so harmoniously, Xiang Wan seriously doubted whether she had entered a fake orc world. Weren't orcs supposed to be warlike and intolerant of each other? How come she didn't recognize this world after only disappearing for a short time?

Hu Lai, followed by the orc serving her closely, was seriously questioning why she had transmigrated in the first place. Wasn't it said that transmigrators either become overlords or reach the pinnacle of life? Why was she rushing here to serve a male? This perfectly healthy male, of all things, had to like someone of his own kind. Had she transmigrated into a BL (Boys' Love) novel?

Her former ambition to conquer the world by conquering males had been completely worn down. Who knew that all those pursuing her were part of a pre-arranged plan? By the time she realized it, the world had already been unified—long beforehand, she just hadn't known. She was lucky she hadn't been dragged out to be eaten by wild beasts for foolishly throwing herself at a blind man.

Thinking about the threats and warnings she had been secretly received from Shi Cong's men, Hu Lai felt immense regret. If she had targeted Shi Cong from the beginning, would she have ended up in this situation?

And Xiang Wan, she's so beautiful, but she still got turned gay.

Watching Xiang Wan's retreating figure, Hu Lai solidified her resolve: in her next life, she would never judge a book by its cover. Anyone too good-looking was either gay or being gay herself; what chance did a woman like her have? Hmm, she felt safer with someone of average appearance.

Completely unaware that she had distorted the values ​​of the transmigrated woman, Xiang Wan was once again subjected to a wave of blatant envy and jealousy, not only from females but also from males who considered themselves decent-looking but couldn't find a mate.

Is it her fault?

She absolutely did not want to be turned gay, okay? It's just that Shi Cong seems to be possessed by something, and he's single-mindedly focused on winning her heart.

The biggest reason he was certain he couldn't refuse was that the system, which was notoriously difficult to deal with, claimed he possessed a fragment of his soul.

What could she do? She couldn't kill him, she couldn't beat him, for fear of harming him and affecting his soul. Besides, the fox-fox beastmen were already protected and living a life that other beastmen in this world envied. What more could she ask for?

"It's just a matter of contributing some chrysanthemums. All the tasks will be completed for you by others. Why hold on to this life?" As soon as the system sensed the emotions surging in Xiang Wan's heart, it hurriedly poured water on her to cool her down.

Back then, I don't know who said it, but only the tasks you complete yourself truly qualify as tasks. And those words kept getting back and forth – that's why people say the system is a trap.

"And another thing, stop blaming the system. If you're not willing, who can force you?"

Xiang Wan's breath hitched, and she instantly realized that 007 was expressing its dissatisfaction.

"Tell me, did you already know that the situation in this world had already changed when we transmigrated here?"

Knowing that Xiang Wan would ask sooner or later, the system had already prepared a response: "Don't you have any trust left? If this system were that powerful, would I be tied to you and have to help you with tasks to accumulate energy?"

Thinking of energy, the system became indignant again, "Tell me yourself, how many times has this system overdrawn its energy for you? Can't you let this system save up more so that I can extend your life?"

Xiang Wan touched her nose; she also wanted to gather enough energy as soon as possible to return to real life. But…

"Xiao Qi, I want to go back."

The system fell silent. It had originally intended to take Xiang Wan through several more worlds, but unexpectedly, it had stirred up its host's desire to return. How could it respond? Had this person, having just tasted some success, really let her go so easily?

"It's probably not possible right now. Our system has no energy and can't open the channel."

"Will I be able to collect enough after this world ends?"

The system thought for a moment and said uncertainly, "It depends on your satisfaction with completing the task. If Shi Cong thinks you have repaid your debt of gratitude well and that you have protected the fox clan well, the original owner may give you more things."

Xiang Wan gritted her teeth and solemnly declared that she would definitely exceed the target.

So what if I'm with Shi Cong? What haven't I seen? Besides, it's not the real body. It shouldn't be a big deal to do something with this body, right?

Ever since carrying Xiang Wan back to the cave that time, Shi Cong, who hadn't felt any relief for several months, suddenly noticed that the other person had changed. He couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed, but Xiang Wan seemed to be appearing much more frequently in his field of vision.

If I wanted some water, she would have brought it to me long ago.

Wanting to go hunting, she brought everything she had in front of her at once.

She wanted to take a shower, and she had already torn the petals off.

Thinking back to that petal bath, Shi Cong felt he must have been out of his mind to listen to his subordinates and pour a bunch of strange things into the spring water. You couldn't even see the underwater beauty; what else could it be but a trap? If he wanted to do anything, he'd have to rack his brains guessing. If someone was hiding in the water, that was absolutely intolerable (see the time Xiang Wan pulled Bai San into the water; afterwards, he was so angry he wanted to chop Bai San to pieces). His spouse's body had been seen naked, and he hadn't even had a proper look at it yet.

He doesn't like flower petal baths, but Xiang Wan always sets them for him, yet he won't let him get close. He doesn't know when this miserable life will end.

There are plenty of women throwing themselves at me in private, but I'm not pretty or attractive enough to even consider sleeping with them.

Living the miserable life of a bachelor while being stuck with a spouse who won't let you get close is simply unbearable.
