"In the space or the room?" Just as they ascended the stairs and returned to the room, Huaiqing was still holding Xiao Jinsheng, refusing to let go, as he asked with a playful smile.

Xiao Jinsheng was startled. "So... impatient?"

Clearly, the last time she shared a room with Huaiqing, this man read *The Art of War by Sun Tzu* to lull her to sleep. He seemed the epitome of self-restraint.

Clearly, he had been so composed before...

Why was he so eager today?

"Didn’t you say I have incredible self-control?" Huaiqing shifted his grip, making it so Xiao Jinsheng could cling entirely onto him.

One hand supported her hips while the other lifted her fair cheek.

Behind his glasses, his gaze darkened, and he chuckled lowly. "But now, I don’t feel like controlling myself."

"B-back to the space..." Xiao Jinsheng stammered, falling silent.

"Alright, I’ll listen to you." Huaiqing lowered his head, planting a soft kiss on her hair.

If, in the room, Huaiqing somewhat restrained himself since Xiao Jinsheng’s six other Beast Husbands all had Superpower Levels higher than his—

and to avoid them overhearing anything from the room—

then, upon entering the space, it was a completely different story.

Within the space, it was just him and Xiao Jinsheng. Naturally, Huaiqing had no need for restraint.

Warm water cascaded in the bathroom, and steam blurred the mirror, leaving Xiao Jinsheng only able to see two vague silhouettes reflected within.

A scalding embrace tightly enveloped her from behind.

Sporadic kisses fell on her ear, accompanied by a tender murmur, "Want to see yourself?"

"Mmm..." Xiao Jinsheng blushed deeply, biting her lip as she remained silent.

A hand, dotted with water droplets, reached out to the mirror, gently wiping away the condensation.

The moment Xiao Jinsheng saw the reflection in the clear mirror, embarrassment overtook her, causing her to lower her gaze hurriedly.

But her chin was soon delicately lifted, forcing her eyes back forward.

Huaiqing leaned down, guiding her trembling hand to the rim of his glasses, his voice coaxing softly, "Xiaoxiao, the steam is too heavy. Help me take them off."

Xiao Jinsheng turned toward him, trembling, and helped him remove the glasses.

Without the lenses to mask his gaze,

the once-docile expression had now transformed, laden with sheer predatory intensity.

"Look at the mirror." Huaiqing’s voice was gentle, his fingertip lightly brushing against her cheek, making her once more face the glass.

His long, alabaster fingers pressed against the sink as he gazed at the reflection, the corner of his lips lifting in amusement.

One hand rested on Xiao Jinsheng’s waist, his tone soothing as he murmured, "So beautiful, isn’t it?"

"Xiaoxiao, here in the space, no one else is around. You don’t have to hold back."

Perhaps Xiao Jinsheng, too, had realized this.

The mist-filled bathroom became host to other accompanying sounds.

The next morning, Xiao Jinsheng stared curiously at her reflection in the mirror.

Her current Plundering Superpower was at 5 Stars, while her Spiritual Power was 8 Stars.

She leaned closer to the glass, touching her hair, confused. No ram horns, no soft sheep ears.

She stood up and spun around, equally finding no new tail sprouting behind her.

"Aren’t you Beastified into a white sheep?" Xiao Jinsheng turned to look at Huaiqing, who was casually folding the quilt in a white shirt.

"Good morning. What’s the matter?" Huaiqing set the pillow in place and approached Xiao Jinsheng with a smile.

Seeing him draw near, Xiao Jinsheng glanced back at the dressing table mirror, raising a hand to stop him. "Alright, just stay there. Don’t come any closer."

"Xiaoxiao..." Huaiqing lowered his gaze, dejected. Without the cover of glasses, his disappointed expression became all the more transparent to Xiao Jinsheng.

Under normal circumstances, Xiao Jinsheng might have believed him.

But after last night,

she’d uncovered the truth: this man she once thought of as a meek and mild sheep was, in reality, a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Not only was he not gentle,

but he constantly forced her to confront her deepest desires.

For Xiao Jinsheng,

Huaiqing and mirrors should never appear in the same place together.

"My hearing is excellent. Say whatever you want to say from over there," Xiao Jinsheng gestured for him to stop.

Realizing she was still upset about last night, Huaiqing dared not approach her.

From a meter away, he explained, "Because of the awakening of the Bai Ze Bloodline, my Beastified strength is deteriorating."

"Does that affect you?" Upon hearing this, Xiao Jinsheng could no longer fret over his prior deceit and approached him out of concern.

"No, it won’t affect me." Huaiqing reached out, gently cradling her head.

He reassured her, "The power of the Beastified white sheep is indeed weak, but Bai Ze belongs to the Divine Beast bloodline. As my Superpower Level increases, the Bai Ze Bloodline will fully assimilate the Beastified white sheep’s power, purifying and enhancing my awakened Divine Beast abilities."

Not only was there no downside, but the change brought many benefits.

Even Huaiqing himself might eventually lose the ability to maintain the form of the Beastified white sheep.

Let alone Xiao Jinsheng, who had merely copied it.

If Huaiqing couldn’t take the form of a white sheep, Xiao Jinsheng naturally couldn’t replicate it either.

Due to the Contractual Totem and the fact that bonding with a Beast Husband allowed her to replicate their Beastification traits,

until Xiao Jinsheng’s Plundering Superpower reached 8 Stars, she couldn’t freely control the appearance or disappearance of the copied Beastification traits.

So, encountering someone like Huaiqing, whose traits she couldn’t replicate, Xiao Jinsheng was secretly relieved that, for once, she didn’t have to live as an invisible entity among the Beast Husbands.

As soon as they exited the space, Huaiqing headed to the kitchen to prepare food for a mission to Mist West, while Xiao Jinsheng was greeted by Su Ye’s handsome face drawing close.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Xiao Jinsheng tried to glare back at Su Ye’s golden eyes.

"You didn’t Beastify." Su Ye remarked curiously, reaching out to touch the gentle hairstyle Huaiqing had done for her.

"Because he has incredible self-control," Xiao Jinsheng huffed.

Sneaking a glance at the kitchen,

she confirmed Huaiqing wasn’t around.

And then she began her slander.

"Su Ye, take a look at Huaiqing! Such pure and ascetic virtue."

"Last night, he was telling me bedtime stories, discussing *The Art of War by Sun Tzu* to help me sleep."

Patting Su Ye’s shoulder, she sighed, "You ought to learn from him."

"Are you sure you want me to learn from him?" Su Ye teased, his tone laced with hidden meaning.

Learn from Huaiqing?

The man who was a wolf in sheep’s clothing?

"Of course! Learn from him!" Xiao Jinsheng nodded firmly. "I’ll tell you this: he doesn’t even dare touch me with a fingertip."

"Is that so?" Su Ye’s golden eyes sparkled with restrained laughter.

"Absolutely." Xiao Jinsheng lifted her chin proudly, ready to continue her fabrication, but she noticed Huaiqing emerging from the kitchen, so she hurriedly changed the topic. "What time are we heading to Mist West for the mission today?"

"After breakfast. We’ll be there for a good ten days or half a month, anyway." Su Ye replied, acting as if he didn’t notice her intentional shift in conversation.

"I’ll make sure to learn properly from him." Su Ye grasped Xiao Jinsheng’s wrist, leaning in to whisper.

Perhaps the other Beast Husbands didn’t know Huaiqing’s true nature,

but Su Ye had personally witnessed him detonating the black market.

Of Xiao Jinsheng’s seven Beast Husbands, in terms of scheming and depth,

Su Ye ranked Que Zelian second and Huaiqing as number one.

"Shh, stop talking." Xiao Jinsheng noticed Huaiqing glancing in their direction and, feeling guilty for the lies she had just spun about him, immediately fell silent.

"Hush money," Su Ye grinned, holding out his hand.

Xiao Jinsheng looked at him in shock. "Su Ye, you’ve changed. You weren’t like this before."

"Because I’m eager to learn," Su Ye replied slyly.

His golden eyes flicked toward Huaiqing, his tone carrying a veiled threat. "I’ve decided to learn well from him, and I’ll find an opportunity to ask for advice on how to maintain such purity and asceticism."

"Don’t you dare! That’s being shamelessly provocative!" Xiao Jinsheng warned.

"Then give me the hush money." Su Ye grinned, leaning closer, holding Xiao Jinsheng’s hand, and letting her fingers graze his lips.

Xiao Jinsheng hooked her arm around his neck and yanked him down hard, biting his lips fiercely as she glared. "I’m warning you, behave yourself from now on!"

"As you command, my lady." With a kiss successfully stolen, Su Ye’s mood improved immensely.

After breakfast, Xiao Jinsheng went to receive the Star Map Task.

To her surprise, this time’s task was completely different from the usual.

Previously, Star Map Tasks in Mist West involved mining ore or extracting plants and flowers.

This time, however, the Star Map Task entailed planting seedlings in a designated area of Mist East, with substantial Star Stone rewards provided by the Terminal.

"What exactly is the Terminal planning with this planting and digging?" Xiao Jinsheng muttered suspiciously.

As she pondered, the doorbell rang outside the courtyard.

The warning growl of the Cannibal Flower guarding the main gate sounded simultaneously.
