Chapter 117 - 119: Who to Spend the Moon God Festival With?

Chapter 117: Chapter 119: Who to Spend the Moon God Festival With?

After Xi Yi spoke, Mo Xuan was also stunned.

He wasn’t surprised that Xiao Ye had come. That snake’s possessiveness was off the charts.

But he hadn’t expected Luan Ting to come as well.

He always seemed so calm and carefree. Mo Xuan had always thought that was just Luan Ting’s nature. He never expected him to change, not until he met Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo could hardly bear to imagine the disastrous scene she would face once those two came inside.

’How do all those Sea Kings and sea queens manage their time?’ At this moment, she desperately wanted to learn their secrets.

Hearing Xi Yi’s voice from inside, the two men outside the cave couldn’t help but suspect he’d done it on purpose.

Luan Ting had been hesitating outside the cave, unable to bring himself to enter. He was afraid of what he might see. So, he just stood there silently.

Xiao Ye, on the other hand, could barely contain himself and wanted to charge right in.

But with Luan Ting’s restraint as a contrast, he also held back.

Su Luoluo had a preference for gentle types like Luan Ting. If he stormed in recklessly, she would probably get angry with him.

’It’s true Su Luoluo got together with Mo Xuan behind my back,’ he thought, ’but Mo Xuan is one of her five Beastmen. I don’t really have the right or reason to condemn her.’

After all, according to the rules of the Beast World Continent, which Beastman a female chose to be with was a testament to that Beastman’s own skill.

The two of them remained hesitant, unable to make up their minds for a long while.

But Xi Yi’s shout shattered their hesitation. They abandoned all other thoughts and marched straight into the cave.

With four men now squeezed into the dim cave, it suddenly felt incredibly cramped.

Su Luoluo sat on the beast skin bed, clutching the beast skin blanket to hide the lingering marks on her body.

Even though she’d been as careful as possible, their gazes were like X-rays, scanning her from head to toe, leaving her no place to hide.

’This is the classic "caught in the act" scene, isn’t it?’

With so many pairs of eyes fixed on her, Su Luoluo could only lower her head, not daring to meet their gazes.

In this awkward, tense atmosphere, her face burned crimson.

Head still bowed, Su Luoluo racked her brain for a way out of this mess.

But the more she thought, the more she realized the situation was hopeless.

’If there were an easy solution, why do so many secret lovers resort to climbing out the window?’

Realizing the system had encouraged her into this awkward predicament, Su Luoluo couldn’t help but complain internally.

’System, the guys showed up! Why didn’t you give me a heads-up?’

’I wonder if my Heartbeat Value and attraction value are going to plummet because of this.’

’It didn’t even bother to warn me about something so important. This system is getting more and more useless.’

"Host, system analysis indicates that this event will be beneficial to your upcoming conquest missions."

Su Luoluo was speechless.

’This is the first I’ve heard that getting caught by my Beastmen in the act can actually help my conquest missions.’

’This system is unbelievable.’

’That’s about as helpful as saying nothing at all.’

’I knew it. The system is never reliable when it counts.’

"If you ask me, this only happened today because we don’t have a schedule. Why don’t I suggest we each take a day in rotation? That way, we all get our time, and we won’t have to keep arguing."

Su Luoluo hadn’t even had a chance to figure out how to handle the awkwardness, and Xi Yi was already speaking again.

At his words, the other men said nothing, their eyes all turning in unison to Su Luoluo.

Su Luoluo cleared her throat. "About that... let’s just leave it for now. We’ll discuss it tomorrow."

’What else can I do?’

’What other choice do I have?’

’I’ll just put them off for now. I’ll figure out the rest later.’

’The most important thing is not to mess up my conquest progress.’

Hearing that Su Luoluo had a plan, the men didn’t press the issue. Before leaving, however, their gazes swept over her in unison one last time as she sat wrapped in the beast skin.

Su Luoluo glanced down at herself, then, wrapping the beast skin blanket tightly around her body, she followed them out of Mo Xuan’s cave.

’If I stay here any longer, I won’t get a wink of sleep tonight.’

Thankfully, once she was back in her hut, everyone quieted down and no one came to bother her.

When Su Luoluo found a leaf-full of purple mulberries and a pottery jar brimming with white milk at her doorstep, she sighed internally.

’No wonder they were so angry. My timing really was terrible. I’ll make them some milk tea tomorrow to smooth things over.’

Su Luoluo brought the items inside and was about to collapse into bed when the system’s notification chimed.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host! You have successfully conquered Mo Xuan. Your Love Brain Level has reached Filter Brain. Reward: Gold Element Superpower increased to Level 2. Bonus gift: one Metal Detector.]

Normally, Su Luoluo would be thrilled to hear about rewards. But after such a chaotic night, even knowing she’d succeeded with her conquest, she just didn’t have the energy to be happy.

「The next day」

Su Luoluo woke up bright and early, planning to make some milk tea and talk to the guys about what had happened.

But someone from Su Yang’s side came over. "Luoluo, the leader wants you to go purify salt."

"Now?"

"Yes. The leader said some of the salt has caked together and needs to be processed before it rains."

When they first brought the salt back, Su Yang had asked her to lead the tribe in purifying it. However, the trip to Heavenly God Mountain caused a delay, and the salt had remained unpurified ever since.

Su Luoluo glanced at the sky. The sun was already up. It didn’t look like it was going to rain at all.

Still, since Su Yang had given the order, she couldn’t refuse.

The milk tea would have to wait.

The salt purification process was the same as before. Today, Su Luoluo’s main task was to divide the tribe’s Beastmen into groups and assign each one a specific step in the process.

After a long stretch, Xi Yi got out of bed and headed for the communal kitchen, curious to see how Su Luoluo was going to handle yesterday’s incident.

But when he got to the communal kitchen, she wasn’t there. He found her in the tribal square, directing people in purifying salt.

’I can’t believe it. Besides cooking and making pottery, she also knows how to purify salt.’

’Could the Heavenly God’s guidance have been right all along?’

He crossed his arms, watching her busy figure as his thoughts began to wander.

"Hey, have you guys noticed? Luoluo has lost so much weight since she got back from Heavenly God Mountain. You can’t even see those thick layers of fat anymore."

"You’re right! If you just looked at her figure and not her face, I’d say Su Luoluo could even represent us at the Moon God Festival this year."

"Are you exaggerating? The Moon God Festival is for choosing the most beautiful female in the tribe. With a face like Su Luoluo’s, would anyone really choose her?"

"Exactly. I think Nuannuan is a better fit."

"Nuannuan’s face has been looking a little too pale lately. And I think she’s too skinny. Su Luoluo’s figure is better."

...

Su Nuannuan overheard the two females talking, and a vicious glint filled her eyes.

’Su Luoluo, you won’t be happy for much longer.’

"By the way, what did your Beastman give you for the Moon God Festival?"

"What else? Beast skins, same as always."

"But that’s the biggest beast skin in the whole tribe! You should be happy with that!"

Su Luoluo was inspecting each step of the purification process when Cai Xia spotted her and asked, "Luoluo, how are you planning to spend the Moon God Festival with your Beastmen?"

’Moon God Festival?’

Su Luoluo thought she’d just overheard someone mention it. It was a festival for Beastmen and females, where whoever won a female’s favor got to spend the entire day with her.

’How am I supposed to know what to do?’

Before she could even answer, Ah Zhu covered her mouth with her hand. "Is there even a question? Of course, she’ll choose whichever Beastman gives her the gift she likes the most."

Su Luoluo’s head started to ache the moment she heard that. ’Are they trying to torture me to death?’

’Yesterday’s mess isn’t even resolved, and now there’s this.’

’Having so many Beastmen really isn’t a good thing sometimes.’

’Choosing one of them is going to be another huge problem.’
