Beast World: From Villainess to Cub-Raising Chef novel Chapter 87

Chapter 87: Chapter 87: The Heat Is Here

The warm sun on the deck made her feel completely lethargic. She couldn’t help but yawn and lie down in the salty sea breeze.

She let out a comfortable sigh, not even noticing when Li Chenlin lay down beside her.

"Susu, do you like this stretch of sea?" Li Chenlin asked suddenly.

Bai Su opened her eyes and looked at the man lying next to her. For some reason, he looked especially pleasing to the eye today, and even some of the dissatisfaction in her heart had dissipated. "It’s alright."

Li Chenlin’s lips curved. "How about I give you this stretch of sea?"

Bai Su rolled her eyes. "What use would I have for this sea?"

Li Chenlin said, "If this sea belongs to you, it becomes your territory. You can do with it as you please."

Bai Su waved her hand lazily. "No, no..."

’I just like minding my little restaurant.’

Li Chenlin let out a low chuckle and said no more.

For the next few days, Bai Su and Li Chenlin got along exceptionally well.

Not only did she not reject his physical touch, but she even felt particularly joyful when he touched her.

Bai Su realized something was wrong when Li Chenlin pushed her down onto the bed and asked her if she wanted to "go down the slide."

An image of Lu Tingyan’s face flashed through her mind, and she suddenly snapped out of it. She shoved Li Chenlin away, her mind buzzing.

’When did we get so intimate?’

’Didn’t I hate Li Chenlin the most?’

’Didn’t I hate snakes the most?’

’Why am I craving his touch so much?’

Li Chenlin’s eyes flickered, and he propped himself up slightly. "What’s wrong?"

Bai Su looked awkward and quickly buried herself under the covers. "It’s broad daylight, I don’t want to! Get out..."

Li Chenlin let out a muffled laugh. "Yesterday, in broad daylight, you helped me take care of it with your hand on the deck. Why not in the room today?"

Bai Su’s face flushed beet red with embarrassment. "Just get out, get out!"

Li Chenlin nodded, amused. "Alright, alright, I’ll go. I have some things to take care of anyway. I’ll come find you later."

From under the covers, Bai Su gave a muffled nod. "Mhm..."

Li Chenlin left the room, thoughtfully closing the door behind him.

Only Bai Su remained in the room.

She shot up, all traces of shyness gone from her eyes. Her expression was terrifyingly cold.

[System, get out here!] she suppressed her fury, her face dark.

The System meekly peeked out. [Host...]

Bai Su’s face was cold. [You knew something was wrong all along, didn’t you? There’s no way you didn’t know Li Chenlin did something to me!]

The System looked at her guiltily. [I’m sorry, I thought the Healing Ability in your body could heal you.]

Bai Su sneered. [You were just playing dumb, hoping something would happen between him and me, weren’t you?]

Having been called out, the System immediately softened its tone. [I’m sorry, Host... I shouldn’t have tried to influence your decisions.]

Bai Su was actually very easy to appease.

If it had tried to give some high-and-mighty excuse about doing it for her own good, to help her earn more points, her anger would have instantly flared.

But it frankly admitted its mistake and lowered its head in apology.

She was easily placated. [Since you know you shouldn’t influence my decisions, don’t pull something like this again!]

The System nodded like a bobblehead. [Okay, I get it! From now on, no matter what happens, I’ll tell you right away. I’m sorry...]

Bai Su’s expression softened considerably. [So what exactly is wrong with me? Why am I acting so strange?]

System: [It seems Li Chenlin injected you with Snake Cleansing Essence. He wants to transform you into a Snake Beastman.]

Hearing this, a flash of disgust crossed Bai Su’s eyes.
