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

Chapter 92 Heart Fluttering or Gratitude
Wei didn't say anything, but walked past her and chatted with Chen beside him about the strange plants in the Misty Forest, species they had never seen before.

Qiao gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment.

At this moment, Yao came over and asked with concern, "Qiao, if you're tired, Shao said he can carry you for a while. Why don't you go and ask him?"

"No need, Yao, I can manage." Qiao forced a smile, telling Yao to go ahead and not worry about her. Then she turned her gaze to Yue behind her, looking at his handsome face, and said weakly:
"Brother Yue, my feet hurt so much..."

Yue glanced at her unhappily: "My feet still hurt."

He heard it clearly just now: Yao said that Shao could carry her, and she said she could, but then she turned around and asked him to carry her. He had a female companion, so he had no intention of carrying her.

He ran into another snag, and his face turned pale and then flushed.

She was about to turn around and look for Liu, whose temper was probably the gentlest among the men, and who always had a smile on his face.

But when I turned my head, the person was gone.

"willow?"

The next moment, a giant snake emerged from the nearby woods, its jaws wide open, its tongue flicking, its voice both sinister and dangerous:

"Are you looking for me?"

Qiao was startled and fell to the ground with a thud, unable to get up for a long time.

Ling Yu witnessed the whole spectacle, and her previously somewhat depressed mood suddenly brightened considerably.

Her beastly husbands seem to have some principles after all.

Just then, a system voice suddenly sounded in my mind:

[Congratulations, host! Five new members have been added, bringing the tribe's current membership to 23. System reward: Plant-type ability upgrade! Current level: Level 2!]

[Plant-type Ability Level 2: Unlocks the ability to control plants within a certain range. The host can touch any growing plant nearby and use the ability to make it move according to their will.]

Ling Yu was stunned. Her superpower had been upgraded? She could manipulate plants?
"System, do you mean that as long as I touch a plant, like a big tree, I can control its leaves and fruits to fall?"

[Yes, host. You need to gradually master this ability through practice. Gathering fruit will be much more efficient, and more importantly, it will give you the ability to protect yourself when necessary. However, please note that the greater and longer you manipulate the plants, the more mental and physical energy you will consume.]

Self-protection ability?

She wanted to ask more questions, but the system went silent.

It seems she'll have to wait until she's resting tonight to try it out.

As darkness fell, the group moved to a relatively open area, lit a campfire, and began roasting meat and boiling water.

Yao and the two little females have helped them a lot these past few days.

Whether it's processing the meat, washing, cutting, or marinating, they all volunteer to do it, especially Yao, who is one of the older women and is more like an older sister.

When it gets cold at night, they would quietly cover everyone with animal skins.

She would alert everyone to any unusual noises, and she would promptly notice if anyone was tired or looked unwell, offering them water, comfort, and care.

Completely opposite to the three of them was Qiao.

Not only Lingyu noticed that Qiao liked to cling to males, but Yao also noticed it. She talked to Qiao about it several times in private, but it seemed that Qiao didn't listen to her.

"Yu, where are you going?"

Seeing her walk into the dark woods, Li asked in confusion.

Ling Yu smiled and said, "I'm going to use the restroom over there." She wanted to test the effects of her upgraded plant-based ability and didn't want anyone to see her.

Upon hearing this, Yao stopped grilling the meat and said with concern, "Find someone to go with you; it's not safe for you to go alone."

"It's alright, I won't go far, you'll be able to see me."

After Ling Yu finished speaking, she walked a short distance forward, and from their angle, they could see her back.

Next, she placed her hand on a large tree, tentatively feeling the life and power of the trunk. Gradually, she felt an invisible connection to the tree. With a slight thought, she tried to make the branches sway and knock the fruit off the tree.

She tried several times, and finally, the branches of the tree seemed to be shaken by the wind, swaying more and more violently, the fruits on them teetering on the edge, and finally, several fell down with a clatter. "Success!"

She was delighted and continued to try to use this big tree to indirectly control more plants through the entire forest's plant ecosystem.

For example, the grass on the ground, the bushes, and the flowers...

Perhaps due to her lack of skill, she had the will but couldn't quite manage it, managing only to make the grass and flowers sway slightly.

"Yu! Yu, are you alright?"

Pear walked up to a short distance behind her and asked.

Ling Yu quickly withdrew her hand and turned around. "Alright, let's go back."

Back at our lodgings, everyone was eating barbecue.

Xuan and the two males found a quiet place to rest first. They would keep watch at night and make sure they got enough sleep.

In order to keep warm, they made several small fires and spread out in Zokai.

She sat down to eat with Li and Qiu.

"Yu, that Qiao is getting more and more outrageous. Look at her, she's gone to eat with your beast husbands again." Li glanced disapprovingly at the spot a few meters behind her.

Sometimes when Lingyu ate with the females like Li, her beast husbands would gather around another fire to eat.

But now, Qiao sits down next to them with an air of nonchalance.

They couldn't hear what she was saying clearly, but they could vaguely see Qiaoming's bright smile and hear her voice and coquettish manner. Her clingy appearance made the females uncomfortable.

Ling Yu's smile gradually faded, and the meat in her mouth began to tasteless.

"I don't know what she was thinking. Yao just asked her to come and sit with them, and she agreed verbally, but she didn't move."

Qiu also disagreed, pursing her lips: "Qiao clearly knows those guys are Sister Yu's beast husbands."

Li couldn't help but say, "Yu, if you hadn't gone over to eat with the beastmen, and they happened to see you coming, they probably wouldn't have dared to approach you. People like her will just pretend to be stupid if you don't explain things clearly."

Ling Yu was struggling with her thoughts. It wasn't that she didn't want to go, but what should she say once she got there?
Are you suggesting we order the beastmen to "not speak to Qiao anymore! Not get close to her?"
Just thinking about it made her feel strange.

It seems a bit like she's not quite convinced of her position. Purely from the perspective of her status, she is their female, so of course she has every reason and right to say that; but what about from an emotional point of view?

She herself wasn't quite sure what kind of feelings she had for them.

Seeing Ling Yu's hesitation, Qiu exchanged a glance with Li and asked softly, "Sister Yu, there's something we're actually quite curious about."

"What?" Ling Yu looked up at them.

"Do you not like your beast husbands that much? Apart from Xuan, you seem indifferent to the other five."

Qiu asked cautiously, and Li looked at her curiously.

Ling Yu was stumped by the question and stood there dumbfounded. It seemed that not only them, but even the beastmen had a tacit understanding.

For example, when Yue went to the Yang tribe to rescue her, she handed her over to Xuan.

After she was rescued, Xuan stayed by her side and took care of her.

At the time, she didn't think much of it, but now that she thinks about it, it seems that the others also felt the same way.

Admittedly, Xuan is the only male she has ever genuinely expressed 'love' for since arriving here, making him quite special to her.

Perhaps it was for the sake of fairness? Or to take into account the feelings of the other five?

Or perhaps, in her interactions with them, she herself had felt a spark of attraction, a feeling that blurred the line between affection and ambiguity. She wanted to ensure that no one felt neglected and that the complex relationships could be handled in a balanced way.

only……

Gradually, she herself couldn't tell whether, in their subsequent interactions, she felt more attraction towards the five beast husbands or gratitude for their companionship.
