Free Web NovelChapter 555: Chapter 404: Beauty Leads One Astray (Part 2)
Her once-sunken cheeks had filled out, and her dull complexion had turned a healthy, rosy pink.
She gently poked her own cheek, then looked in disbelief at the still-wriggling Blue Fatty. "Dog System, is this really me?"
Seeing his Dog Host, who was so happy she was grinning from ear to ear but still needed his confirmation, the System reluctantly nodded. "It’s you. You’re a beauty now."
"Hehehehe..."
The moment his voice fell, a creepy laugh echoed beside him.
The System’s fur stood on end as he jumped up and stared at his lecherous-looking host. With his little paws, he dragged a nearby blanket over, wrapping his weak little self up until only his small, furry head was poking out.
’GULP!’
He thought he could hear the sound of his own swallowing.
"Ho... Host, calm down. A beautiful face is a dime a dozen, but an interesting soul is one in a million. It’s inner beauty that counts! Don’t be deceived by this physical form."
"Hehehehe..."
The only response was another string of creepy laughter.
The System instantly felt his entire system-self was unwell. ’The host has gone crazy. Is my system life about to end?’
"Yue, are you awake? Come on out, Teng Kun and the others are leaving soon."
The System swore he had never found Qingcao’s voice as pleasant and sweet as he did today. It was like the call of an angel.
Because his slightly crazed Dog Host had immediately returned to normal upon hearing Qingcao’s call.
’So that means she was just ignoring me, right?’
’It might be the truth, but why does the realization have to be so gut-wrenching?’
’My efforts were all for naught...’
"System, get up, quick! I can’t believe I forgot something so important. Beauty really is a distraction."
As she spoke, she grabbed the clothes by the edge of the kang bed and quickly put them on.
The System stared speechlessly at his Dog Host. "..."
’How can you say something so shameless with such a straight face?’
"Yue, let me tell you, I just found out this morning! That skunk Fierce Beast that came to our tribe last time came back again last night. And according to the Beastman Warriors, that Fierce Beast evolved... evolved... Holy crap!
"Who are you! What are you doing in Yue’s room?"
Qingcao stared at the beautiful female sitting on the kang bed putting on her shoes, momentarily dazzled by her beauty.
But soon, worry for her friend took over. She turned, grabbed the wooden stick used to bar the door, and faced the female opposite her with both hands clenched around it.
A quick glance around the room revealed no sign of Yue. Qingcao’s heart began to sink.
"Little beast, did this female tie you up too?"
The System was wrapped in a Beast Skin blanket with only its small, furry head poking out, looking utterly pitiful.
System: "Awoo~"
’No... listen to me... I did this to myself...’
But the greatest distance in the world is when I’m standing right in front of you, talking to you, but you can’t understand a word I’m saying...
Stunned by Qingcao’s series of actions, Wu Yue finally had a chance to speak. "Have I really changed that much?"
’Isn’t this girl’s reaction a bit over the top?’
’I mean, I really did get a lot prettier, but you can still vaguely make out my old features.’
A familiar voice sounded in the room, and Qingcao’s expression changed drastically. "You... you... Don’t tell me you swallowed Yue!"
’This female is too terrifying! Could she be some powerful female Beastman?’
Qingcao felt her legs begin to tremble.
’Father, Amu, Big Sis, I wonder if I’ll live to see the sun today.’
"I *am* Yue. Am I really that hard to recognize?
"I just leveled up while I was cultivating yesterday, that’s all."
Wu Yue looked on with a speechless expression at her friend’s pale face, feeling that if she didn’t say something soon, the girl might actually die of fright.
"Huh?"
Qingcao blinked, looking in disbelief at the female before her. Though not large, she was beautiful from every angle.
"Are you really Yue?"
She just couldn’t believe it.
Wu Yue nodded. "The one and only."
As she spoke, witch power pulsed from her hand. "Have you ever seen anyone else with this type of witch power?
"Besides, even though I’ve changed a lot, you can still tell it’s me if you look closely, right?"
With that, she moved closer to Qingcao. "Take a good look."
As the rosy-white face drew near, Qingcao finally found a trace of familiarity.
"Holy crap! Yue, is cultivating witch power really this magical?"
’Genuinely jealous. I want to be beautiful too.’
