Chapter 52: Chapter 48: You Sleep Alone Tonight, Let Me Take Your Place for One Night

’It can even help me see his information?’

’Is it that powerful?’

’As far as I know, not even the Imperial System can do that, right?’

[Host, his information has not been refreshed yet. The unlock condition will only be triggered after a second person in this world, aside from him, finds out.]

Jiang Yunnuan: "..."

’Updating information needs an unlock condition? A second person has to know? Could this be any more ridiculous?’

Originally, Si Xie didn’t know what that system had said, but after reading her thoughts, he had a vague idea. He pressed his lips together and instantly changed his mind.

He had originally planned to tell them about his new skill, but now it seemed this woman had a lot of secrets. It was better not to tell anyone for now.

He would use his new skill to pry all her secrets out of her. It wouldn’t be too late to tell everyone else after he was done.

"I can’t guess. Hurry up and tell me, what’s your new awakened skill?"

Unable to get the information she wanted from the system, Jiang Yunnuan decided to ask him directly. His train of thought was interrupted, and Si Xie came back to his senses, only to see her eyes filled with curiosity and a probing gaze.

He curled his lips into a smile and said, "It’s Charm. Haven’t you noticed I’ve gotten even more handsome?"

Jiang Yunnuan stared at him for a few seconds, then said with a speechless expression, "What’s the use of a useless skill like that? Is it really worth showing off? Haven’t you always been handsome?"

’And here I thought this guy awakened some incredible ability. To think it’s something so useless. What good is being handsome? Can it win you a fight?’

Her thoughts were all over the place, full of disdain and contempt, but they didn’t affect Si Xie’s mood in the slightest. He was still incredibly happy, his tail held high.

’She said I’ve always been handsome. Does she really think I’ve always been handsome?’

[DING! Si Xie’s affinity has increased. Current affinity: 35.]

[DING! Si Xie’s affinity has increased. Current affinity: 45.]

[DING! Si Xie’s affinity has increased. Current affinity: 55.]

[DING! Si Xie’s affinity has increased. Current affinity: 65.]

The notifications of the changing affinity rang out one after another in her mind. Jiang Yunnuan’s eyes widened, a look of astonishment appearing in them.

’Wait, is there something wrong with this guy? Can’t he tell I’m looking down on his new skill? Why is his affinity shooting up like crazy?’

’Could it be because I called him handsome? Does his affinity go up just from me calling him handsome?’

’Maybe I should test it and see if calling him handsome is all it takes to raise his affinity. If that’s really the case, I’ll compliment him a hundred times a day from now on.’

Si Xie: "???"

’Affinity?’

’What is that?’

’How can this woman’s inner world be so strange?’

As he was lost in thought, Jiang Yunnuan’s extremely affected voice sounded in his ears.

"Ahem, although you’ve always been handsome, right now... well, you’ve definitely gotten even more handsome. Super, super handsome. In my eyes, you’re the most handsome Beastman in the whole world."

Fu Yuan, Jun Yao, and Ming Ye: "..."

Why was this woman suddenly laying the flattery on so thick?

Si Xie was also speechless. ’She wants to raise my affinity with such half-hearted praise?’

’Hmph, in her dreams!’

[DING! Si Xie’s affinity has decreased. Current affinity: 60.]

[DING! Si Xie’s affinity has decreased. Current affinity: 40.]

The sudden drop in affinity left Jiang Yunnuan completely stunned.

’Seriously, there’s really something wrong with this guy. How can his affinity just go up and down like that?’

’Just a moment ago, praising his looks made his affinity shoot up. Why is it plummeting now that I’m continuing to praise him?’

’Could it be... he could tell my praise wasn’t serious or sincere enough??’

Si Xie: "..."

Through this little test, he finally understood what this "affinity" was all about!

This woman seemed to have something that could monitor a numerical value of his feelings for her in real time. What kind of thing could be so unbelievable?

’Is it that system she mentioned?’

The only system he knew was the Imperial System, and the Imperial System controlled the entire Empire’s operations.

For example, the marriage system, household registration system, legion system, government system, and so on, were all controlled by the Imperial System.

Never mind that the system was in the hands of the Empire Government, not hers. Even if she did have it, it didn’t have a function to monitor affinity in real time.

’Just who is this woman?’

He would get to the bottom of this!

Si Xie made up his mind to test her. So, he lowered his head, putting on a sad and dejected look.

"You’re lying. You clearly think Ling Ze is the most handsome, have you forgotten? You used to say that the four of us combined weren’t worth a single strand of Ling Ze’s hair!"
