A vile, ugly, and fat female? A chaotic scene of six beastly husbands vying for her favor.

Chapter 18 The Ugly Woman's Deliberate Indifference

Yue's face darkened with anger, and she pointed at Ling Yu, shouting:
"You're talking nonsense! Why would I want an ugly woman like you to pay attention to me!"

What's wrong with this ugly woman? How could she say such shameless things!
Ling Yu curled her lips and stared into his eyes: "Oh? So what are you doing now? Didn't you take the initiative to strike up a conversation with me?"

Yue felt like she couldn't even explain herself clearly. When did this ugly woman become so eloquent?

He grew angrier the more he thought about it, and roared through gritted teeth:
"Get out! Get out now! I don't want to see you!"

As soon as she finished speaking, Ling Yu strode past him and left.

She didn't turn around to look at him again.

Yue stood there, his face turning pale and then flushed, unable to be sure that this ugly woman was really not interested in him anymore.

how so!
He is the most handsome male in the entire tribe, and he also possesses the most noble mermaid bloodline!
Many women love him but cannot have him. This ugly, fat woman, with her repulsive appearance, he takes the initiative to talk to her, but she still doesn't like him.

It's an act! It must be an act! A feigned retreat to lure him in!
But if it was an act, why did she send meat to the other five beastmen yesterday, but not to him?
Wasn't he one of her six beastly husbands?! Why the preferential treatment?!

Today, he had come to test her intentions and see how Xuan had beaten her up, but he never expected to be left speechless!

That's insane! They'd only come here on their own initiative!
Ling Yu was unaware of Yue's breakdown at that moment. After leaving the spot, she suddenly received a system notification!
[Congratulations, host! Yue's dislike for you has decreased by 5! Reward: 1 map of the Violet Tribe area! Stamina +10!]

Sure enough, this month is a masochist!

The worse your attitude towards him, the more likely you are to develop a liking for him.

Ling Yu muttered to herself, not bothering to check the reward, and ran towards the cave.

It was so cold. After a cold rain, the temperature plummeted, and the animal skin she was wearing offered no protection against the cold.

"Cough cough..."

She walked into the cave and heard someone coughing inside, so she went in.

They discovered that their father, who had been unconscious, had woken up, though he was still somewhat weak, and Pear and her beast-husband were taking care of him.

Seeing Ling Yu come in, Li quickly stepped forward and said, "You're alright, that's great. We heard you went to take care of Xuan, and we were worried he might hurt you."

Ling Yu was touched. Li was one of the few friends who truly cared about her. "Thank you, Li. Are you taking care of my father?"

“Yes, yesterday after you left with Xuan, Feng and I took the herbs that Lie brought you into the cave and boiled them for the clan leader to drink, following the method you mentioned before. He’s much better now.”

Ling Yu followed Li over and saw her father, Jin, lying weakly on the bed, his cloudy eyes looking at her. She hesitated for a moment, then tentatively called out:

"language?"

Ling Yu quickly went over and said, "Father, I'm here."

"Yu, is it really Yu? You, how did you get so thin? Cough cough... They didn't feed you, making you go hungry?"

Jin's loving and caring voice made Ling Yu's nose tingle.

It has to be said that this old clan chief truly loves his daughter; the first thing he worries about after waking up is her.

"Father, I'm fine. I've just been dieting these past few days. How are you feeling?"

"Father is alright. I heard from Li that you cured Father's poison? How do you have that ability?"

Jin looked at Lingyu with affection and noticed that her daughter no longer smelled bad, but had a pleasant fragrance.

Her appearance seems to have changed, yet it also seems unchanged; she just looks much prettier.

I felt completely refreshed.

"Chief, Yu's roasted meat is also delicious," Pear added with a smile.

Ling Yu thought to herself that she needed to find a reasonable explanation for such a big change in herself.

“Father, I had a dream the other day. In the dream, there was an old immortal who enlightened me. After I woke up, I realized that I had been living a muddled and wasting my time. So I decided to turn over a new leaf and live a good life.”

"I don't know why those things just popped into my head; they just came to mind naturally."

People in this era admire nature, the way of heaven, and destiny.

She wasn't sure if Jin would believe her, and hesitated whether to continue making things up.

Suddenly, Jin burst into tears, grasping Lingyu's hand tightly.
"Good, good! What your mother said back then...it really was true! You are our tribe's celestial maiden! Only celestial maidens can communicate with the upper realm. This must be Heaven sending you to help our tribe...cough cough..."

Celestial maiden? Mother?
Ling Yu was puzzled. "Father, what are you talking about? What did my mother say?"

It seems that the original owner's mother passed away when she was very young.

She had never seen her before. Jin wiped away her tears, patted Lingyu's hand, and said somewhat indistinctly, "It's nothing, it's just Father. Father is getting senile, haha. Your mother passed away a long time ago, it's nothing."

Ling Yu, however, sensed a secret in his shimmering eyes.

Could it be that Mother foresaw that I would come to this place? Was my birth into this world predetermined?

There seems to be some unknown secret hidden within this.

"Cough cough..."

As Ling Yu was thinking, she suddenly saw Li cover her mouth and cough.

She observed Pear's complexion and realized that she had also contracted the disease; the epidemic had indeed spread.

[Host, multiple members of your tribe have been infected with the plague. You have accepted a mission to help your tribe overcome the disease within ten days. The system suggests you use the tribe map to find medicinal herbs to treat your people as soon as possible!]

[Task timeout will result in system penalty; please act as soon as possible!]

Ling Yu suddenly remembered that she had accepted this task in a moment of desperation yesterday.

Seeing that Pear was clearly unwell, she couldn't help but feel anxious. Even for the sake of this friend who treated her so sincerely, she had to complete the task as soon as possible.

She has never truly used her plant-based superpowers.

"Pear, you must have been infected with the plague. Go back and rest. I'll go and gather some herbs for you."

When Li heard that she had contracted the disease, she was worried, but still asked with concern, "Yu, are you alright on your own?"

Ling Yu patted her hair. "Don't worry, Feng. You take Li back to rest and drink more water."

Pear's beast husband, Feng, didn't like Ling Yu. He only came here because of his female. Upon hearing this, he immediately picked Pear up in his arms.

"Okay, let's go back."

After the two left, Ling Yu wanted to say something to Jin, but when she turned around, Jin was already asleep.

That's good; getting more sleep is good for your body's recovery.

Stepping out of the cave, Ling Yu opened the map and saw the continuous mountain range. All the surrounding roads automatically appeared in her mind, as if she had walked them herself.

only……

"System, this epidemic is different from the common cold. It requires some special herbs, such as Scorched Leaf and Ice Blue Moss. I have the map, but I don't know where they grow."

[Host, you can use your superpower. Simply close your eyes and touch any plant, and you will be able to sense the presence of all nearby green plants.]

Ling Yu immediately ran to the tree, touched the bark with her hand, and closed her eyes.

Gradually, a clear, green, network-like image appeared before her eyes, connecting all the nearby plant life. The lush and vigorous plants were emerald green, while those that were about to wither were a dull color.

As she followed the tree further into the distance, countless plants of all shapes and sizes appeared before her.

The herbs she needed grew on a cliff face.

She opened her eyes again, recalled the map in her mind, and quickly confirmed the direction she needed to go.

Ling Yu hurried along and arrived at the bottom of the cliff.

She gazed at the ice-blue moss growing on the steep, sloping mountainside and subconsciously swallowed.

It's so high, if you climb up there, you could easily fall to your death.

For the mission, for the pear, for Xuan, for her people, she mustered her courage and climbed up using both hands and feet.

The stone wall was slippery after the rain. Ling Yu grabbed the vines with one hand and used the other hand to pry open the depressions in the stone wall, slowly and laboriously climbing up.

Before she knew it, she was covered in sweat. Luckily, she had gotten close to the patch of blue moss and was about to reach out and pick it.

Suddenly my foot slipped, and I lost my footing!

Ling Yu fell from the high cliff, screaming in terror as the feeling of weightlessness filled her with dread.

"Help! Help!!!"

Is she really going to die like this?

System, system, please save me! But the system crashed and didn't respond at all!
Just when Ling Yu thought she was doomed, a domineering eagle cry suddenly rang out in the sky, and a swift black shadow flew over.
