Su Qinglan’s face immediately flushed a deep crimson as memories came rushing back. Her brain finally connected the dots, and she remembered exactly what he had asked her the last time they spoke.
Before his journey, An Mo had looked at her and asked if she wanted to become stronger.
Then, he had hinted that her biggest opportunity was standing right in front of her. At the time, she had been so dense that she completely missed his meaning.
For the entire month he was away, she had racked her brain, planning and guessing a countless number of possibilities, trying to figure out what he meant.
It was only when Xuyu, her system, finally came to her rescue that she understood. Well, "rescue" was a generous word.
The system had immediately smacked her mentally, its voice ringing in her head: "You dummy! He is powerful enough to pull a soul back from the dead. Do you really think he doesn’t know about your special abilities?"
That was when the truth hit her. Her ability to become stronger depended entirely on the love and bond of her beast husbands.
An Mo knew. He really knew about it!
So, what did his invitation actually mean? He wasn’t just teasing her; he was literally offering himself up. He was giving her the direct opportunity to become stronger by using him as a husband.
Just thinking about the shamelessness of it made her face burn even hotter.
Right on cue, Xuyu came online.
The system acted exactly like a loud, pushy broadcasting salesperson, urging her at every second to just jump on An Mo.
Because An Mo had disappeared for a whole month right after dropping that bomb, Xuyu had spent the last thirty-two days absolutely eating her brain out with constant badgering.
Now that the golden-eyed man was back and asking the exact same question, Xuyu fired up with maximum energy.
Honestly, Su Qinglan wanted to roll her eyes.
Xuyu was a hilarious piece of work. The system always came online with perfect timing whenever her love life was concerned, but the moment she was in actual grave danger, it would conveniently go completely offline.
The system’s priorities in life were truly ridiculous.
"Host! Go and grab him right now!" Xuyu shouted excitedly in her head. "The man is literally standing in front of you like eye candy! Pin him down and claim him as your beast husband right this second!"
Su Qinglan tried to ignore it, but Xuyu just kept going.
"Don’t be shy! He is already destined to become your beast husband anyway. You absolutely cannot let him go!"
Xuyu used all kinds of manipulative, dramatic words, even pointing out An Mo’s broad chest and powerful thighs.
"Look at those legs! Those are the thighs I have always dreamed of you hugging! He is the richest man in the entire beast world!"
Su Qinglan mentally threw her hands up, desperately wanting to smack Xuyu.
When she had thought about "hugging his thigh" in the past, she meant it as an idiom! She wanted his powerful political and social support in this wild world, not to literally throw herself on the floor and wrap her arms around his actual legs!
Her embarrassment reached an all-time high as Xuyu continued to fill her brain with completely rotten, shameless thoughts.
The system practically squealed, pointing at the man across the room.
