Yue took a deep breath and sat down on a swing, gazing at the distant city.
"System," she asked quietly, "so my missions with villain number two and villain number three will be complete when their favorability reaches 100% and their villain mode drops to 0%, right?"
The system answered immediately.
[Yes, host. That is correct.]
[You must maintain both values for each villain. Once both conditions are met, your mission with that target will be considered successful.]
[When all five villains reach this stage, your task in this world will be complete.]
Yue let out a slow breath. This time, she did not feel the same resistance as before.
At first, she hated the system.
She hated the missions.
She hated the idea of being forced into relationships with dangerous villains.
But now... things were different.
She had already accepted her situation. And deep down, she knew something very clearly.
In this world, the fastest and most effective way to lower a villain’s mode and raise his favorability was to mate with him and give birth to his offspring.
An offspring could win the heart of any orc in this beast world. Nothing else compared to it.
No matter what you did, no matter how kind or loyal you were, it could never match the bond created by a child.
Just like Han Soi.
His affection toward her was almost overflowing. He would do anything for her.
All because she had given birth to his offspring. That was the greatest joy of his life. Thinking of this, Yue slowly nodded.
Now she clearly understood her goal. But there was a faint heartache in her heart. She never wanted this kind of life for herself. She wanted a life like her mother’s, where she was surrounded by her mates and children, and most importantly, love.
She also had everything, but sadly she would have to leave them at one point for the next mission. But what could she do? Did she have any other options?
And whenever she tried to show affection back, the system would always warn her that it was not advised to get emotionally entangled with the villains.
Sigh!
She could only hope that she could at least leave them peacefully after all these missions were complete. And she would make sure that this man did not want only offspring from her but also wanted her. Wanted a life with her.
With that, a determined look appeared on her face.
"System," she said, "show me the personal details of all the villains."
A light screen immediately appeared in front of her.
[Villain No. 1: Han Soi]
Race: Winged Serpent Clan
Status: SSS
Current Position: First Beast Husband
Favorability: 90%
Villain Mode: 2%
Yue’s lips curved slightly.
Han Soi’s affection was already very high.
His villain mode had almost disappeared.
Then the screen changed again, showing information about Xing Luoye.
[Villain No. 2: Xing Luoye]
Race: Unknown
Status: Unknown
Favorability: 10%
Villain Mode: 45%
Yue’s expression stiffened.
Only 10%?
That was even lower than she expected. Before she could think more, the screen shifted again.
[Villain No.3: Xing Luoguang]
Race: Unknown
Status: Unknown
Favorability: 35%
Villain Mode: 48%
Yue blinked.
So the quiet one actually had higher favorability toward her.
But his villain mode was even higher than his brother’s. That meant he was even more dangerous.
The glowing screen slowly faded.
Yue lowered her gaze, deep in thought.
These two brothers...
Everything about them was unknown.
Their race.
Their status.
Even their real identities.
And yet, they were called the most notorious twin villains in the interstellar beast world.
A strange feeling rose in her heart.
It seemed her mission with these two would not be simple at all.
Yue Yue sat quietly on the wide balcony for a long time.
The city below was lively and bright. Warm lights glowed along the streets, and people moved around in small groups, talking, laughing, and carrying many items.
Even from this height, she could feel the peaceful atmosphere. It was nothing like the cold, metallic cities of the interstellar world. freewēbnoveℓ.com
This place felt warm, and she felt like she was back in her world.
Her fingers curled slightly around the beautiful railing.
There was a quiet yearning in her heart. She wanted to go down there. She wanted to walk those streets herself.
She could already tell...
This city might be the most beautiful place she would ever see.
Even the grand temple from before could not compare to the gentle warmth of this place.
But there was one problem.
She had no way to leave the mansion.
Yue Yue finally stood up and walked back inside. She wandered through the long corridors, hoping to find an exit or at least someone she could ask.
Soon, she saw the old caretaker walking slowly along the hallway, carrying a small basket.
"Ah, Miss Yue," the old woman said kindly when she saw her. "Are you feeling comfortable in your room?"
Yue Yue nodded. "Yes, the room is very nice."
She hesitated for a moment, then asked carefully, "Can I go outside for a walk? I wanted to see the city."
The caretaker’s gentle smile did not change, but she slowly shook her head.
"I’m afraid that is not possible, dear."
Yue Yue blinked. "Not possible?"
"This area is the residence of the young masters. Guests are not allowed to wander outside alone," the old woman explained softly. "If you wish to go out, you must first receive permission from them."
Yue Yue’s shoulders sank slightly.
So she really could not leave on her own.
"I see..." she said quietly.
The caretaker noticed the faint disappointment in her eyes and patted her arm gently.
"Do not worry. Once the young masters allow it, you will be able to explore the city freely. For now, it is safer to stay inside."
Yue Yue could only nod.
"Alright."
"Come," the caretaker said with a warm smile. "I was just about to prepare some food. You can keep me company if you like."
