Volume 3, Chapter 230 – I Just Want You to Look at Me

Bu Lianshuang lightly pressed her thin lips together.

A pair of fair jade hands gently pressed against her chest.

She wanted to use her spread palms to conceal her unevenly rising and falling bosom.

Little did she know, this thin gauzy garment revealed her entire silhouette clearly.

Was this wolf tribe princess actually this generous?

She wasn’t treating Lu Zhuxin as an outsider at all!

Was it just because Lu Zhuxin had seen her face?

Lu Zhuxin tugged at the corner of her eye.

The hardest thing to bear was a beauty’s favor.

However, Lu Zhuxin herself actually wouldn’t have any psychological burden about such matters.

What concerned her were other things.

As a Heaven-Mandated Female Lead who needed to be pursued, Bu Lianshuang’s favorable impression came too quickly.

Recalling the other Heaven-Mandated Female Leads, for instance, Song Shiyuan, Lu Zhuxin had expended so much effort to sever her karmic ties with the Heaven-Mandated Male Lead Song Shixuan.

And Chi Xiyan. Lu Zhuxin had also put considerable thought into her, and now was only barely seeing some initial signs.

With someone like Bu Lianshuang, who came with built-in favorable impression before Lu Zhuxin had even done anything, Lu Zhuxin’s first thought was of Qu Qingtang.

A slight chill gently dispersed from Lu Zhuxin’s neck.

Like someone angrily asserting their presence.

Damn it… Why did she always think of that woman!

Lu Zhuxin slowly shifted her gaze away from the wolf tribe princess before her.

After she moved her gaze away, the chill surging from her neck slowly dissipated.

This thing was getting annoying.

Lu Zhuxin felt that the mark Qu Qingtang left truly wanted to transform her into a great sage without desire or want.

At this moment, Bu Lianshuang saw Miss Fox before her shift her gaze away.

The hand lightly pressing her chest unconsciously tightened.

Wasn’t it said that the fox tribe was extravagant and lustful, obsessed with beauty?

What did shifting her gaze away mean?

Did she look down on her?

That’s right. The fox tribe were all beautiful, born with seductive bones. They would look down on fierce, barbaric, crude wolf tribe people.

Bu Lianshuang felt somewhat unwilling.

She still had some confidence in her appearance and figure.

As the wolf tribe’s princess, Bu Lianshuang’s mother was a rare beauty among the wolf tribe, and Bu Lianshuang’s beauty was in no way inferior to her mother’s.

But these things she had once been proud of seemed somewhat lacking when compared to this beautiful Miss Fox before her.

Look at these fox tribe beauties. Delicate and soft, fragrant and richly scented, slender like lotus flowers.

When Bu Lianshuang had held this fox tribe lady in her arms earlier, she could clearly feel the softness of the other’s delicate body.

Looking back at Bu Lianshuang herself, the wolf tribe had robust physiques. Although they weren’t considered outstanding among the four clans, they were still far from what the slender, delicate fox tribe could compare to.

“Miss Yu…” Bu Lianshuang said with pressed lips, “I just want you to look at me…”

Upon hearing this, Lu Zhuxin’s facial expression froze again.

This girl was so straightforward!

After recalling Bu Lianshuang’s character setting, Lu Zhuxin knew that this girl’s words were already equivalent to a confession.

Lu Zhuxin raised her hand to rub her slightly uncomfortable nape and said, “Your Highness the Princess misunderstands.”

“You are the wolf tribe’s divine maiden, with noble status.”

“When I removed your veil earlier, that was already an offense against the wolf tribe.”

“How could I now make another discourteous action toward you?”

Though her mouth said she was unwilling, that wasn’t actually what Lu Zhuxin was thinking.

With a beauty before her, she wasn’t some upright gentleman.

However, right now, Lu Zhuxin still had reservations about Bu Lianshuang.

Moreover, what was more annoying was that some bastard had left behind shackles that didn’t want her to develop even the slightest of those thoughts.

[Does the Host feel that what Qu Qingtang left behind has interfered with your pursuit progress?]

Why was this system joining in the excitement at this moment?

Lu Zhuxin replied to the system in her mind without good humor, “What? Can you help me solve this problem?”

Based on Lu Zhuxin’s understanding of these systems, this system was probably just making casual conversation nine times out of ten.

Even if these systems had a way, they wouldn’t truly help Lu Zhuxin.

[Host, this problem actually isn’t that difficult.]

[What Qu Qingtang left on you is merely a shallow mark.]

[This mark will slowly weaken over time.]

[Of course, if the Host needs it, after paying a certain price, the system can also erase this mark for you.]

“…Huh?” Lu Zhuxin was surprised in her heart.

She hadn’t expected this system could actually help her solve this problem.

If it were Ming Zhaoxi, she would definitely hold on tightly. She’d rather watch Lu Zhuxin suffocate to death than reveal half a word.

“Then what’s the price?” Lu Zhuxin asked.

[The Heavenly Mandate you’ve seized.]

[You can use the Heavenly Mandate you’ve seized to obtain additional assistance from the system.]

“Heavenly Mandate…” Lu Zhuxin had heard this term more than once.

Heaven-Mandated Male Lead, Heaven-Mandated Female Lead.

And Heavenly Mandate Value…

What exactly was Heavenly Mandate?

As the Creator, Lu Zhuxin couldn’t sense the so-called Heavenly Mandate at all.

“What exactly is this Heavenly Mandate I’ve seized?” Lu Zhuxin asked. “Some kind of special numerical value? Some kind of special energy?”

[Apologies, Host. This question exceeds the range of authority the system can answer.]

[If you don’t wish to consume your own Heavenly Mandate Value, you can also substitute with other physical items.]

“Physical items?” Lu Zhuxin furrowed her brow. “What kind of things?”

[Items you obtained from Heaven-Mandated Female Leads during the pursuit process.]

[For instance, Qu Qingtang’s sword.]

[For instance, Song Shiyuan.]

“Wait!” Lu Zhuxin seemed to have heard something incredible. “Song Shiyuan?”

[Yes, you can use Song Shiyuan as a consumable to exchange for things you need from the system.]

“Consumable?” Lu Zhuxin was shocked. “Female leads who’ve been pursued become consumables?”

[Yes. After you’ve pursued a Heaven-Mandated Female Lead, she will become your possession. You can dispose of her as you wish.]

Rеаd οո КαtReаdiոɡСαfе

“After being consumed, what will Song Shiyuan become?” Lu Zhuxin asked.

[The Heavenly Mandate on her body will be stripped away as a resource and recovered by the system.]

[Zzzzt…]

[Warning, dangerous operation…]

[Zzzzt… Heaven-Mandated Female Lead @$#$%… spiritual essence stripped away @#$%#$…]

[Will become… @!#$% irreversible…]

[Become… #%& empty shell…]

The other system had recovered too?

Lu Zhuxin was surprised in her heart.

However, she didn’t show it on her face.

“So then? After you help me erase the mark Qu Qingtang left behind, what will happen?”

[The system can guarantee that such an action will not cause the Host any harm.]

“Like hell I believe you!” Lu Zhuxin said without good humor. “The Pure Yang mark is used to suppress the fox demon’s heat period.”

“If you eliminate the Pure Yang mark on me, what am I supposed to use to suppress my heat!”

“This is human territory. If my heat period goes out of control here, the consequences would be unimaginable.”

“System 03, you’re probably just like Ming Zhaoxi, wanting to see me suffer misfortune!”

[The system merely proposed feasible suggestions based on the Host’s thoughts, without any ulterior purpose.]

“Rejected! I won’t use this method!” Lu Zhuxin shouted angrily.
