The next day, the sun was already high in the sky when Su Qinglan finally opened her eyes.
She let out a low groan, her voice sounding raspy even to her own ears. As she stared up at the stone ceiling of the cave, she didn’t have the energy to move a single finger.
She felt like she had been run over by a stampede of mammoths.
As her memories of the previous night came rushing back, she finally realized the reality of the situation. She wasn’t back on Earth anymore.
She had been thinking like a human, assuming the blood meant her period had arrived. But she had forgotten that her body was now that of a fox female...a vixen.
The light bleeding hadn’t been a period; it was the end of her proestrus. It was the signal that she had entered her true heat cycle.
"I really fell into the trap of this beast world," she muttered to herself, her face turning a deep crimson.
She looked around and realized she was completely pinned down.
Hu Yan’s strong arms were wrapped tightly around her waist, his face buried in the crook of her neck.
On her other side, Han Jue was leaning against her, his steady breathing tickling her skin.
Rong Ye was sprawled out with his head resting directly on her stomach, sleeping like a contented kitten.
Behind her, Xuan Long was in his semi-snake form. His human upper body was resting near her head, but his long, cool tail was wrapped securely around her legs like a rope.
Remembering how wild she had been with her four husbands the night before, Su Qinglan wanted to bury herself in the dirt.
She had always thought of herself as a civilized person, but last night, she had acted like a total animal.
Well, they ARE all animals, she thought, trying to justify it. Literal wild animals.
Still, the sheer intensity of it made her head spin. Mating with four powerful beastmen in one night was no joke. She felt like her waist was literally going to snap in half.
The only silver lining was her power. She checked her internal energy and gasped.
Her plant-type ability, which had been stuck at the fourth level for so long, had surged all the way to the sixth level overnight. Apparently, mating with high-level beastmen was the ultimate shortcut for cultivation.
She tried to sit up with a groan, her body aching in places she didn’t know could ache.
As the animal skin covering her slipped, she saw her skin was covered in red marks and "love bites."
But then she looked at her husband, and her eyes widened.
Hu Yan’s bare shoulders were covered in deep, red scratches.
When she looked at Rong Ye’s arms, the nail marks were so deep they looked like they had been made by a small predator.
She suddenly remembered that during the heat, her fingernails had sharpened into claws, and she had been clawing at them like a real fox while losing her mind.
The men were all fast asleep, looking completely exhausted. They were totally naked, not bothered at all by the lack of clothing, looking like they had worked the hardest job in the world.
"Exactly! And you used them... thoroughly," the system teased.
"I especially liked the part where you wouldn’t let Rong Ye go until he was practically seeing stars. You really lived up to your species, Host. A true vixen. If I had a physical form, I’d be clapping right now."
"You—you absolute pervert! Were you watching the whole time?!" Su Qinglan felt like she wanted to explode.
"I am a system, Host. I don’t ’watch,’ I ’monitor data.’ " The system paused for dramatic effect. "And the data says you were extremely satisfied. In fact, your heart rate was..."
"I said shut up!" Su Qinglan snapped, trying to hide her face in a pile of fur. "I was really horny, okay? Are you happy now? I fell for the beast world’s trap!"
"Now, now, Host, there’s no need to be shy. Look at the bright side!" The system’s voice suddenly became very business-like, though the smugness remained.
"Your power has soared! You jumped from Level 4 to Level 6 in one night. At this rate, if you keep ’exercising’ like this for a year, you’ll be as strong as Xuan Long. You’ll be the most overpowered female in the world, all thanks to your... horizontal efforts."
Su Qinglan paused. Level 6 was indeed a huge jump. She felt the powerful energy circulating in her veins. "So... if I do this more, I get stronger?"
"Precisely," the system said with a virtual wink.
"Mating is the best cultivation method for you, so stop acting like a blushing maiden and get back to work! Your husbands look like they might wake up soon, and they have plenty of energy left for round two."
"You shameless piece of junk!" Su Qinglan swore mentally. "I’m sore, my waist is broken, and you want me to do more? I’m going to find a way to uninstall you!"
"You can’t uninstall me, Host. I’m the only one who appreciates your hidden talents." The system let out one last laugh before going quiet.
