Chapter 123: Awakening
It has been a while since An Yuan came back.
She stayed at home with her beastly husband, quietly and without making any noise.
Wen Li rarely interacted with them. She stayed at home and lived a good life with a few beastly husbands.
In addition, Wen Li's daily routine is to take care of the crops and small animals in her space, and try to expand her food supply in case of emergency.
Another thing is to accept system tasks and complete them.
The core purpose of most tasks is to allow her to gain the favor of those around her.
As the favorability of others increases, the points Wen Li earns will also increase.
This is equivalent to expanding her way of earning points from beastly husbands to more people around her.
Wen Li quite likes this feeling of being "helpful".
After this period of hard work, her points are gradually increasing. Although the growth rate is not fast, it is better than nothing.
After An Yuan came back, the vague uneasiness in Wen Li's heart dissipated a lot.
She also didn't know the specific reason.
But since she last met An Yuan, the indescribable strange feeling she had towards the village had faded.
She would occasionally wonder in her heart: Is there something special about An Yuan?
But in the end, I didn't pursue it further.
A while passed like this, and Wen Li still didn't wait for He Yan to come back.
He seemed to have completely forgotten the agreement between them.
Most of the spring has passed, and there is still no sign of him.
Wen Li's original expectations gradually faded away.
She decisively shifted her focus back to her own life.
Life at home is going well, but there have been some problems recently between the beastly husbands.
Wen Li always felt that she was able to treat everyone equally, and she wanted to keep it that way.
But some people are just good at vying for favor.
It’s troublesome to have too many men and I don’t know which one to pamper.
Most of the time, Wen Li always prefers the one who is the most attentive.
The crying child gets the candy, and the same applies to a few beastly husbands.
Whenever she saw someone willing to spend more time on her, she would unconsciously feel better.
If this goes on for a long time, even she herself will realize that she will become uncontrollably biased.
She also tried her best to restrain herself, at least not to make her bias too obvious.
It's another peaceful day.
Wen Li had lunch at home as usual. Today she cooked the meal herself, and the beastly husbands ate with extra relish.
Suddenly, there was a "ding" sound, and Wen Li received a new task reminder from the system.
When I clicked on it, I saw it was another healing task.
The task was the same as last time, asking her to treat five patients.
Wen Li later found out that this task would be refreshed regularly.
Probably to make the best use of her healing ability, so it pops up from time to time.
Every time the game refreshes, Wen Li has to go to the witch doctor to find patients.
At first she felt annoyed, but later she realized that this task was simply too good to be true, and was given for free.
After all, compared to other tasks, the healing task has the lowest difficulty coefficient, so Wen Li is happy to get it.
And every time she received this task and went to the witch doctor, the witch doctor was very happy.
How can I not be happy when someone offers to help me?
It was rare that Wen Li got this task again today, which meant she had to go to the witch doctor to get materials again.
After dinner, Wen Li looked at her beastmen and asked, "I'm going to the witch doctor later. Who's going with me today?"
Before she finished speaking, Bai Yanci took the initiative to stand up and said, "I'll go with you."
Among the beastly husbands, Bai Yanci is the most active.
Not only that, Bai Yanci is also extremely clingy and will stay with Wen Li whenever he gets the chance.
Wen Li had to admit that it was indeed the easiest to get along with him.
Normally, she only needed a beastly husband to accompany her when she went out to ensure her safety, but once Bai Yanci spoke, the others fell silent.
Pei Yu was a step behind and could only snort coldly: "Didn't you go with us last time?"
Bai Yanci smiled but didn't answer. He just looked at Wen Li and asked, "Is that okay?"
After Wen Li met his gaze, her hesitation disappeared in an instant.
Wen Li: "Okay."
Pei Yu's brows furrowed even tighter.
However, since Wen Li had already spoken, Pei Yu didn't say anything else, but his expression looked quite depressed.
After dinner, Wen Li and Bai Yanci went out together to the witch doctor's residence.
The two walked side by side on the forest path. Wen Li's pace slowed down a little, so Bai Yanci slowed down and walked at the same pace as her.
"What are you thinking about?" Bai Yanci asked.
His voice pulled Wen Li back to her senses, "Ah...it's okay."
In fact, Wen Li was still thinking about the strange feeling she had before.
How can it just disappear like that?
"Thinking about that again." Bai Yanci said.
This was not a question but a statement. Bai Yanci had already seen what she was thinking.
"Yeah." Wen Li nodded hesitantly.
She always couldn't help but care about it, and sometimes she would think about it over and over again when she had time.
Bai Yanci suddenly grabbed her hand and said in a serious tone, "Don't worry, we won't let you get into danger. Not this time."
His promise made Wen Li feel a little relieved.
Wen Li and several beastly husbands had discussed these matters seriously.
They cared a lot about her feelings and didn't think she was making a fuss. Instead, they helped her analyze the situation carefully and infer the most likely scenario.
Everyone is serious and never perfunctory.
It was this point that touched Wen Li deeply.
I'm really lucky to have these beastly husbands.
It is worthy of being called "systematically selected".
Although the relationship was not so pleasant at the beginning.
Wen Li nodded gently: "Okay, thank you."
Bai Yanci was at a loss for words: "Why are you being so polite to me again? You're my beastly wife. If you're really bothered...why don't we move out tomorrow?"
He continued, "Didn't Meng Yu say he wanted to go north? I've already thought of the specific location. The things can be stored directly in your space, it won't take too much time. As for the others... we've already agreed privately that as long as you want to leave, you can leave at any time."
When Wen Li heard what Bai Yanci said, she was stunned.
My heart felt like it was hit lightly by something. It didn't hurt, but it felt sore and numb.
"Okay, I understand."
Since Bai Yanci said so, Wen Li couldn't continue to worry about it.
She put away her messy thoughts, took Bai Yanci's hand and continued walking forward.
Suddenly, she seemed to think of something and paused slightly.
"You're the one accompanying me again today." Wen Li said to Bai Yanci.
Bai Yanci nodded with a smile on his face, a faint smile on his lips: "Yeah, are you unhappy? Don't you like it?"
When Wen Li looked over, he quickly threw her a seductive glance, which made Wen Li shiver slightly.
Even after being together for so long, she still wasn't used to his face.
Every time I take a closer look, I am still amazed.
Wen Li retracted her gaze, looked straight ahead, and answered seriously: "It's okay, I like it very much."
In fact, she liked going out with anyone, but... she couldn't help but wonder if Bai Yanci went out with her too many times?
It was him the day before yesterday, and the day before that.
Basically, it seemed that it was Bai Yanci who accompanied her out every time, while the other beastly husbands stayed at home or went about their own business.
Previously, several people would take turns to accompany Wen Li every day, but now Bai Yanci doesn’t even pretend, and he wants to monopolize her completely.
The others didn't know what to say, as they weren't the type to care about these things.
So in this regard, Bai Yanci took advantage and enjoyed more attention from Wen Li.
However, Wen Li also vaguely realized that something was wrong, but she didn't know how to deal with this relationship.
After the two men left, the other three looked at each other, staring at their backs as they left, thoughtfully.
"Hasn't he been a little too arrogant lately? Why don't you two fight for it?" Pei Yu spoke first.
He was so disappointed with his son that he even lost his temper. However, Zhu Yan and Xin Yuan were both calmer than the other.
Don’t they have any feelings at all?
Wood? ?
Don’t you think there’s anything wrong with all this?
"Don't you realize you're about to fall out of favor?"
Xin Yuan frowned: "This is not good..."
"If you don't take action, Bai Yanci will dominate the market! Can't you see that Wen Li's heart is almost being seduced away by him?" Pei Yu frowned.
He found that he could not defeat Bai Yanci alone, so he had to find some "allies", otherwise Wen Li would be completely bewitched by that man.
Zhu Yan also felt quite unhappy, but he couldn't bring himself to talk about these things, including actively competing.
This is especially true for Xin Yuan. These two "brothers" have no idea what it means to compete for favor.
Zhu Yan always felt that as long as he could be with Wen Li, everything would be fine.
He had never thought of this before, but as time went by, the thought became stronger and stronger.
But he is a contented man.
Xin Yuan is similar, which is why the two of them can get along well.
Xin Yuan felt that as long as he could be with Wen Li, he didn't care about anything else.
Seeing that he couldn't convince the two of them no matter what, Pei Yu sighed: "Alright, if you want to continue like this...then let's do it this way."
He has always been straightforward and just can't stand Wen Li always being with Bai Yanci.
They are all her beastly husbands, how can she be so partial to them?
Pei Yu originally thought that Wen Li would realize after a while that she had neglected others and would make some amends.
But after waiting for so long, he found that his beastly wife was completely unaware of this.
She wants whoever takes the initiative.
Has she never heard of the term "rain and dew are equally distributed"?
Pei Yu was so angry that his teeth were itching, but he could do nothing about it.
Obviously, if he wanted to regain Wen Li's attention, he had to take the initiative.
"Okay, let's stop talking about this." Zhu Yan said, "It's time to go hunting."
The three of them didn't say anything more, packed up their things and set off.
They never slack off in this regard.
On the other side, Wen Li had already arrived at her destination.
When they got there, they saw the witch doctor treating a cub.
The cub was seriously injured, with a large piece of skin missing and blood gushing out continuously.
The witch doctor was treating him with herbs, and the cub was crying loudly in pain.
"What's going on?" Wen Li hurried forward and asked, "He's injured so badly... Could it be that he encountered a wild beast?"
Otherwise, how could a whole piece of flesh be torn off?
The cub was crying breathlessly and there was no explanation at all.
The witch doctor took the initiative to say to Wen Li: "I heard that it was hooked by something, and then there was a tug, and the whole piece of flesh was torn off."
The witch doctor sighed and waved to Wen Li: "Come here and help me heal him."
The time it takes to recover from herbal treatment is too long. Having Wen Li, a healing expert, makes it much more convenient and can also alleviate the patient's pain a lot.
Wen Li was worried about the lack of patients, so she nodded, stepped forward to treat the cub, and tapped the light ball on the wound.
Soon, the cub's wounds healed and its crying gradually stopped.
Wen Li was delighted when she heard the system's reminder of the completion progress.
The cub's mother thanked him profusely and left with her child.
The witch doctor smiled at Wen Li and said, "Thanks for your help. Why are you here today? Didn't you say you were busy a few days ago?"
"I'm done." Wen Li replied.
A while ago, she took on some collection tasks, running around everywhere to collect materials needed for the system. She only received the treatment task today, so she rushed to the witch doctor.
She felt that her life had become a straight line, like playing some kind of development game.
Every day, I repeatedly receive tasks, complete tasks, and submit tasks, over and over again.
The cub is the only patient the witch doctor has today.
Wen Li still needs to treat four patients, so she has to wait here.
She found a place to sit down and helped the witch doctor sort the herbs.
Suddenly, a familiar female voice came from a distance: "Arnold, should I put this thing here?"
Upon hearing this voice, the witch doctor couldn't help but frown.
During this period, An Yuan came to them whenever he had time and was particularly attentive to Arnold. The witch doctor always felt that something was wrong.
After all, Arnold was so passionate about An Yuan before, but she never took the initiative to take responsibility and marry Arnold as a beastly husband.
He disappeared for a while, then suddenly came back, even more enthusiastic.
If you show your kindness to someone without any reason, he is either a traitor or a thief!
The witch doctor always felt something was wrong, and he advised Arnold several times.
Fortunately, Arnold seemed to have listened to him and was not as crazy about An Yuan as he was at the beginning.
"Well, just leave it there, thank you."
"It's okay, is there anything else I can help you with?"
"No, I won't bother you."
…
The conversation between the two people was clearly transmitted to Wen Li and the witch doctor's ears along with the sound of the wind.
Wen Li and the witch doctor looked at each other.
Even Wen Li could hear the alienation in Arnold's words. It was really strange. Could it be that Arnold finally came to his senses?
A hint of relief flashed in the witch doctor's eyes.
This stupid disciple of mine has finally made something of himself.
He was just about to pull Wen Li over to continue talking when he heard footsteps approaching.
The two looked up and saw Arnold coming over at some point.
His eyes fell on Wen Li, and a hint of joy flashed across his face.
"Wen Li, you're here."
Wen Li:? ?
An Yuan followed closely behind, and when he came over, he saw Arnold taking the initiative to greet Wen Li.
A strange color flashed in her eyes, and her hands hanging at her sides suddenly tightened.
