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

Chapter 5 Xinyuan's Cave

Xin Yuan was somewhat tempted by Wen Li's words.

He stared at the incredibly tempting, charred meat in Wen Li's hands and swallowed hard.

After hesitating for two seconds, Xin Yuan still refused.

"Need not."

"Oh."

Although Wen Li felt a little regretful, she did not force the issue.

She was quite confident in her grilling skills. When she was in school, she often helped out at her uncle's barbecue stall, and everyone said that she grilled the best meat.

Wen Li placed the grilled meat skewer on the leaf and continued grilling the next one.

The freshly grilled meat was very hot, so Wen Li decided to let it sit for a while before eating it.

This time, after becoming more skilled at grilling with tree branches, Wen Li's efficiency in grilling meat for the second time was significantly higher.

Soon, both pieces of meat were cooked.

Wen Li carefully tore off a piece of meat that had already cooled down and put it in her mouth.

The moment she took a bite, her eyes lit up.

Surprisingly, it tasted pretty good even without any seasoning!
The outer skin is crispy, the meat is tender and juicy, and it doesn't have the porky smell you might expect.

After tasting the first bite, Wen Li couldn't wait to take the second.

So fragrant.

She ate with her mouth full of oil, and Xin Yuan's gaze was unconsciously drawn to her.

The main reason is that the meat Wenli grills is really fragrant.

As an orc, Xin Yuan had an exceptionally keen sense of smell. With a fragrant piece of meat placed right in front of him, it was hard for him to ignore it.

Wen Li quickly ate the first piece of roasted meat.

She has a small appetite, and she feels full after eating just this little bit.

Although barbecue is delicious, it gets greasy very quickly without seasonings and drinks.

After Wen Li finished the first piece, she couldn't eat a second one.

She recalled Xin Yuan's expression not long ago; he clearly seemed very interested in her grilled meat, but she didn't know why he had rejected her.

Wen Li decided to take the initiative again.

"Xin Yuan," Wen Li called softly.

Xin Yuan looked at her. "What's wrong?"

Wen Li handed the grilled meat in her hand towards him, "I don't know how well it's grilled. Could you taste it for me and give me some honest feedback so I can improve next time?"

Xin Yuan glanced at Wen Li, then at the roasted meat in her hand.

"Aren't you going to eat?" he asked.

Wen Li nodded. "Would you like to try it?"

Xin Yuan remained silent, looking thoughtful.

Wen Li felt a sense of defeat and simply said, "If you don't want to eat it, then I'll just throw it away. I can't eat any more anyway."

Xin Yuan only reacted when he heard Wen Li say she wanted to throw it away.

"give it to me."

He took the still-warm roasted meat from Wen Li's hand, looked it over, and then took a small bite.

The juices from the roasted meat burst in your mouth, and the meat is tender and juicy.

Xin Yuan's expression was exactly the same as Wen Li's; his eyes lit up instantly.

He quickly finished the piece of meat in his hand and licked his fingertips with lingering satisfaction.

"How is it? Does it taste alright?" Wen Li looked at Xin Yuan expectantly.

Seeing him eat so quickly filled her with a sense of satisfaction.

It seems that Xin Yuan also thinks it tastes good.

Xin Yuan nodded, "Delicious!"

Wen Li smiled, revealing her crooked teeth, "That's good."

Xin Yuan lowered his eyes, unable to bear looking directly at him.

Wen Li embarrassedly suppressed her smile, but a plan to win over Xin Yuan instantly came to mind.

She said softly, "If you like, I can bake you some more?"

Xin Yuan's head snapped up. "Really?"

In the firelight, his amber eyes shone like dazzling stars, breathtakingly beautiful.

Wen Li was momentarily stunned.

It wasn't until the system's favorability notification pulled her back to reality.

[Xin Yuan's favorability has increased.] [Congratulations, host, on gaining favorability for the first time! You are rewarded with a Favorability Gift Pack. Please check it!]

Upon hearing the system's notification, Wen Li almost jumped up!

Sure enough! Xin Yuan is interested in food!
Xin Yuan's favorability rating increased by two points this time. Although it's not much, it's still a good start.

Wen Li was in a good mood and kept her word, grilling a few more pieces of meat for Xin Yuan.

The only pity is that Xin Yuan's favorability rating did not increase further.

As an adult beastman, Xin Yuan's appetite was much greater than Wen Li's.

He doesn't need to spend much time preparing raw meat. Grilled meat is different; it takes time to cook it.

By the time Xin Yuan had eaten and drunk his fill, it was already quite late.

After eating and drinking his fill, Xin Yuan took the initiative to clean up the trash on the ground and piled it in a corner, making his cave entrance clean and tidy again.

“It’s late, let me take you home,” Xin Yuan said.

Now, Wen Li feels a sense of resistance whenever she hears the word "go back".

Her cave is right next to Zhu Yan's cave; you'll definitely run into her when you go back.

Although Zhu Yan wouldn't kill her now, Wen Li still didn't want to see him.

Wen Li was traumatized by what happened that morning and didn't want to see Zhu Yan and Bai Yanci for the time being.

Wen Li preferred to stay with Xin Yuan rather than with those two beastly husbands.

Wen Li whispered, "Could I...stay here for the night?"

Fearing Xin Yuan might misunderstand, Wen Li explained, "I don't really want to see Zhu Yan right now, but my cave is right next to Zhu Yan's... so..."

Xin Yuan stared at Wen Li for a long time.

It was as if she was confirming whether she was serious or lying.

“You two had a serious argument this time,” Xin Yuan said.

As far as Xin Yuan knew, Wen Li's favorite beast husband was Zhu Yan.

That's why she chose to live next door to Zhu Yan.

Now they don't even want to see Zhu Yan anymore; it seems this argument has gotten quite serious.

Wen Li didn't dare to say what exactly happened, she just chuckled twice.

Xin Yuan didn't ask any further questions, but only made one request.

"Tell me how to grill the meat."

Wen Li naturally agreed.

Thus, Wen Li successfully found a place to stay temporarily.

"Okay, come in."

Xin Yuan led Wen Li into his cave.

This was the first time that Wen Li, the wife, had entered the cave of Xin Yuan, the beastly husband.

The interior of Xinyuan's cave was clean and tidy, with a well-ventilated corner filled with dried wild fruits and jerky.

The original owner had visited Zhu Yan and Bai Yanci's caves. Unlike Xin Yuan's caves, the other two's caves were not filled with a bunch of food.

"You really like to eat, huh?" Wen Li said softly.

Xin Yuan nodded frankly, "Yes."

Wen Li made a clear judgment about Xin Yuan – he was a foodie.

No wonder the original owner's impression of Xin Yuan was either hunting or on his way to hunt.

So it's just that I like to eat it.

"You can sleep here tonight."

Xin Yuan gave the only stone bed to Wen Li, and chose to sleep on the floor himself.

"Thank you," Wen Li said.

Xin Yuan didn't reply, focusing on tidying up his bedding on the floor.

There are few entertainment activities on the Beast World continent, so the beastmen go to bed very early at night.

The two lay down on their beds and turned off the lights.

Wen Li didn't have any crazy ideas, nor was she worried that Xin Yuan would do anything to her.

She's quite safe now, with this physical body.

At this moment, Wen Li was more concerned about what reward the system had given her.

Just as Wen Li was about to open the reward package, Xin Yuan's voice rang out from the darkness.

"Wen Li, you said before that you would dissolve the marriage contract with us in three months, is that true?"
