After being bound to the procreation system, the little female seduces everyone in the beast world.

Yan Shu's heart suddenly raced. Realizing what had happened last night, she felt a wave of panic and even a sense of helplessness.

Her voice trembled as she tried to say something, but she found herself completely speechless.

"you……"

As soon as she opened her mouth, her voice was filled with undisguised shock and disbelief.

Hearing her tone, Ah Chen's face turned pale, and he became even more nervous and uneasy.

Seeing Yan Shu's disapproving expression, a hint of panic flashed in his eyes. He said in a low voice, at a loss for words, "My lord, I'm sorry... It's A-Chen's fault. Please don't be angry... A-Chen shouldn't... shouldn't have offended you like this."

She also remembered that she had given him the name Achen...

Yan Shu took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down. Although her heart was still churning, she knew that getting angry or blaming others at this moment would be of no use.

Looking at Ah Chen lying on the bed, not daring to lift his head, her complicated emotions gradually softened.

She slowly exhaled, suppressing her anger and shock, and tried to speak calmly: "Achen, don't say things like that."

When Achen heard her voice, his body trembled slightly, but he still did not look up. His voice was soft and choked with emotion: "Achen is willing to follow the master's arrangements."

Yan Shu felt a pang of sadness when she saw his remorseful expression, but in the end, she couldn't bring herself to blame him.

He was so thin and innocent, his face filled with fear and self-blame, as if he were the one who had caused all of this.

Actually, she felt that she also had some reasons that were hard to blame.

She didn't leave last night; she rescued the person and even drank some of the beverage, which tasted delicious and didn't seem to contain any alcohol.

"Since what happened last night has already occurred, then... there's no need to pursue it any further."

Ah Chen dared not say anything more.

As soon as Yan Shu left the room, someone came to settle the bill for her.

She had brought enough money with her before she arrived, and after paying the bill, she was about to leave, completely forgetting about what happened last night.

Ah Chen followed behind, silent, his eyes filled with despair. He seemed to vaguely guess her intentions, but dared not say anything.

Just as she took a few steps, the shopkeeper suddenly spoke up: "Sir, if you don't intend to take this slave thirteen away, we will have no choice but to send him to the Desolate Cave."

Yan Shu paused, turned to look at the shop owner, and frowned slightly.

"A dead end?"

Before she could ask any more questions, she froze when her gaze fell on Ah Chen.

Upon hearing the words "dead end," his face drained of color, and his body trembled slightly, as if he had been driven into a desperate situation.

In those helpless eyes, fear surged like a tide. His hands gripped the hem of his clothes tightly as he tried to remain calm, but he could not hide the fear that had seeped into his very bones.

Yan Shu had already decided to leave, but at this moment she could no longer move her feet.

Although she didn't know what the "Dead End" was, she understood from Ah Chen's reaction that it was probably a dead end for him with no way out.

Seeing his appearance, Yan Shu's heart softened. Her original intention to get rid of him wavered, and a trace of pity arose in her heart, but on the other hand, she hesitated.

If we take Ah Chen back, what will Ah Xu, Ah Hou, and Ah Ling think?

Last night's events had already left her with mixed feelings, and bringing him along would likely cause a lot of trouble.

She struggled for a moment, suddenly wanting to refuse, but Ah Chen's frail figure remained in her eyes, filled with fear, humility, and pleading.

Even though he didn't say anything, his pleading eyes seemed to speak louder than a thousand words.

Finally, she turned slightly to the side and whispered to Ah Chen, "Let's go back together."

Achen was stunned for a moment, then an unbelievable joy appeared in his eyes, which reddened slightly.

He knelt down, kowtowed, and choked with emotion, saying, "Thank you, sir... Ah Chen will never forget your kindness."

Yan Shu simply waved her hand, looked at him with a hint of helplessness, and said softly, "Get up. Stop kneeling all the time. I don't like it."

-

Yan Shu returned to her residence with A Chen, still feeling somewhat uneasy. After all, she wasn't fully prepared to face A Xu, A Hou, and A Ling.

Sure enough, as soon as she stepped through the door, the three of them came to greet her.

They caught a faint, unfamiliar scent emanating from her, and their expressions changed slightly, but they did not show any obvious displeasure.

Although they didn't ask anything and thoughtfully prepared hot water for her to wash up, Yan Shu keenly sensed their unease.

She nodded, grateful for their thoughtfulness, but knew that she couldn't completely avoid all of this.

Just as she was about to turn around and go inside, Ah Chen, who was standing behind her, appeared.

In fact, Ah Xu and the others had already seen Ah Chen's presence, but since Yan Shu didn't bring it up, they didn't feel comfortable asking any further questions.

However, she had no choice but to clear her throat and say somewhat awkwardly:

“This is Ah Chen… He has nowhere to go, so in the future… he might… stay with me.”

Ah Xu, Ah Hou, and Ah Ling exchanged glances. Although they didn't show their emotions, their slightly tense expressions betrayed their feelings.

They focused their gaze on Ah Chen, scrutinizing the thin boy with a hint of examination and doubt in their eyes.

Yan Shu gritted her teeth, thinking it would be better to explain things clearly as soon as possible, so she casually mentioned, "Last night... I happened to run into him, and I felt sorry for him, so I brought him back."

Of course, they didn't believe it.

They could smell a strong, unfamiliar masculine scent on her, and they guessed what had happened.

But Shushu had already explained it to herself.

When I explained and spoke to them in a consultative tone, their expressions softened. Although they were still somewhat confused, they didn't press the matter further.

For the first time, Ah Ling took the initiative and said calmly, "Since it's the adults' decision, we will naturally respect it."

Yan Shu felt a pang of guilt. Recalling her experiences over the past few days, she felt deeply indebted to A Xu, A Hou, and A Ling.

She didn't want to become like this, but since leaving home, things have been spiraling out of her control, taking her off track.

She looked down at Ah Chen, who was standing awkwardly to the side, and sighed inwardly.

Perhaps it was a moment of weakness on her part that led her to let him stay by her side, but she understood that bringing him back would inevitably have an impact on Ah Xu and the others.

Yan Shu took a deep breath, faced A Xu, A Hou, and A Ling, and finally spoke with a determined look: "If you can't accept A Chen staying here, then I'll give him some money and let him leave on his own."

She thought that saying these words would make everyone understand her feelings a little better.

But as soon as she finished speaking, she felt Ah Chen standing next to her tremble slightly.

He kept his head down, his shoulders trembling slightly, but he remained silent, as if he was desperately suppressing his emotions and did not want to show any unease or opposition.
