Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 263 - 180: Her Race + Don’t Want the Snake Eggs Anymore

"It’s so itchy. Come over and look, see what’s growing on my back..." An Jin said with a frown. This itch wasn’t like a mosquito bite; it felt more like something strange was sprouting from under her skin.

Gu Yin swam behind her and bent down, wrapping an arm around her waist. With his other cool hand, he pulled down one side of her top, revealing a stretch of beautiful, snow-white skin, her waistline, and the curve of her breast.

The hearts of the three males in the room trembled. That glimpse of smooth, snow-white skin captured all three of their gazes. Their Adam’s apples bobbed as their breathing grew heavy.

’As expected of the legendary Beast God Fruit.’ The wound on her waist had vanished completely, leaving not even a scar.

Catching the fiery gazes of the wolf and the merman directed at the female in his arms, Gu Yin’s expression darkened. A murderous intent flared within him, and he deliberately shifted his body to block the magnificent view of her exposed skin.

"You’ve grown some... fine, downy fur?" Gu Yin said, pulling her top back down.

As a bona fide hairless creature, his voice held a trace of uncertainty.

"...Is it really downy fur? Why would I be growing fur?"

An Jin was completely stunned.

’Aren’t females unable to transform? Why am I growing this fine, animal-like fur?’

As the only furry creature among the three males, Ling Hong nodded in confirmation. His voice was deep and serious. "You’ve definitely grown a large patch of downy fur on your back. It’s like... like the kind newborn cubs have. Very fine and soft."

’Could this be a side effect of the Beast God Fruit?’

However, the system, having finished scanning her condition, chirped cheerfully, "Don’t worry, Master! Your body isn’t suffering any side effects. In fact, you’re stronger and healthier than you’ve ever been!"

’Legend says the Beast Body Fruit can alter one’s bloodline. Has this fruit secretly modified my body?’

While An Jin was racking her brain, unable to make sense of it, Gu Yin and the others had already reached a conclusion.

—The female was showing signs of ancestral return.

Gu Yin gently stroked her hair to reassure her, then turned to Ling Hong. His voice suddenly turned cold, as if interrogating him. "What clan is Jin’er from? The Wolf Clan, Tiger Clan, or Leopard Clan?"

These were all very common land-based clans on the Beast God Continent. Moreover, in the Luoten Tribe where she had previously lived, over eighty percent of the Beastmen belonged to one of those clans.

But Ling Hong shook his head. "I’m honestly not sure." 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Although he had lived in the same tribe with her original self for decades, he had never paid any attention to her origins. He vaguely recalled hearing that she wasn’t a native of the Luoten Tribe, but a wanderer who had been taken in.

That made her origins a mystery, so naturally, her clan was also unknown.

Still, conventional wisdom suggested it was highly likely she was from the Tiger Clan, Wolf Clan, or Leopard Clan.

The fur on her back now resembled that of a newborn cub, making it impossible to identify her clan for the time being. They would likely have to wait a while before it became recognizable.

An Jin, standing to the side, lowered her head and said nothing. Her heart had lurched the moment she heard the two words "ancestral return."

’Actually, my current physical condition is getting closer and closer to how I was in my past life. It has almost nothing to do with the body’s original owner anymore. If I’m really undergoing an ancestral return...’

’Does that mean I’m going to turn into a hairy ape?’

An image of the long-armed apes from the Long-armed Ape Tribe flashed through her mind—the ones who never bathed, their orange-yellow fur matted and filthy, always swarmed by insects.

An Jin: "..."

The image was too ghastly to contemplate.

"Can I make this fur go away? I feel like it’s still growing. Don’t you guys have both beast and human forms?" While the prospect of having a beast form—whether a blessing or a curse—loomed, the actual process of sprouting fur was utterly agonizing.

"Try to gather the spiritual power in your mind. Concentrate, and the fur should retract with your thoughts." Ling Hong, who could naturally switch between his beast and human forms at will, had to think for a moment before offering his advice.

After more than half a year of spiritual power training, An Jin’s control over it was masterful, even if she couldn’t use it for high-level combat yet. She quickly retracted the downy fur on her back.

The maddening itch vanished in an instant.

"Much better." She sighed, feeling a sense of cool relief wash over her.

However, the expressions on the males in front of her were incredibly grim.

"Jin’er, the fact that you’re starting to manifest a beast form must not be known to anyone else," Gu Yin warned, his voice cold. "Other than us, you can’t tell anyone, no matter how close you are to them."
