Favorite of the Beast-world: I Got Rich Through Farming-Chapter 45 - 46: Why Have You Lost So Much Weight?
Gou Ni entered the house timidly, looking left and right. ’Oh my gosh, this is Ling Hong’s stone house! It’s so much bigger than mine.’
’Besides An Jin, there probably isn’t another female in the entire tribe who can just come and go from this house as she pleases.’
’Will the two of them become mates someday?’
’Ah Jin is so lucky... no, wait, Ling Hong is the lucky one! Ah Jin’s cooking is so delicious, he’s incredibly fortunate!’
As Gou Ni’s thoughts wandered, she unconsciously spoke them aloud, looking curiously at the slender figure ahead. "Ah Jin, will you and Ling Hong become mates? I’ve been in the tribe for so long, and you’re the only female who can come and go from his house as you please!"
"Mates?"
An Jin struggled to move a wooden bucket out, wiping the sweat from her face. She froze for a moment at the question, then subconsciously shook her head. "No."
"Huh?" Gou Ni was a bit baffled by her resolute expression.
"The Witch Doctor said I can’t have children, so I won’t be looking for a mate." ’And what if I leave someday? I can’t just abandon a mate in this world, leaving him all alone with no... intimate life, and he wouldn’t even be able to remarry. That would be too cruel.’
The only reason she was temporarily staying at Ling Hong’s place was to avoid living in the tribe’s communal house for females. It was oppressive, there was no freedom, and with so many people, there was always drama.
Gou Ni nodded in understanding.
’She had a point.’
’That big house was practically unlivable. A dozen or so females crammed into one room, constantly forming cliques and bickering.’
’Especially that Shana! She always loved to take the lead in mocking the younger females who weren’t as pretty as her or didn’t have a powerful male for protection. She was so annoying!’
It was a good thing she later got together with Hei Xuan and Hu Che, two outstanding Third Rank Beastmen. Only then was Gou Ni finally able to "escape" that place of constant scheming.
Just then, An Jin took out a few small stone bottles and opened them. They were filled with a white emulsion that looked like poison. The excitement on Gou Ni’s face froze, as if a bucket of cold water had been thrown on her.
An Jin said, "Come on, take off your clothes."
Gou Ni took two steps back. "..."
"Are you going to take them off or not?"
"Okay, I’ll take them off, I’ll take them off!" 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
Looking utterly hopeless, Gou Ni took off her beast-hide skirt and tube top. ’WAAAH, I have to believe my Ah Jin won’t hurt me!’
Soaking in the pleasantly warm water, Gou Ni felt so comfortable she wanted to let out a moan, but the thought of Hei Xuan still standing outside made her quickly cover her mouth.
An Jin dipped her fingers into the white emulsion and began to apply it to Gou Ni’s body.
She spread it, rubbed it in, and massaged it, using a technique that felt both novel and comfortable to Gou Ni.
After Gou Ni had soaked for a good fifteen minutes, An Jin started a small fire in the house. She found a few large beast hides and dried the dripping Gou Ni from head to toe before helping her put her skirt and tube top back on.
The two of them warmed themselves by the fire for a while.
Once Gou Ni was mostly dry, An Jin took out another stone bottle, scooped out a fingerful of a white substance, and gave her a meaningful smile.
Before Gou Ni could understand what was happening, her forehead, nose, cheeks, chin, collarbones, waist, abdomen, thighs, and calves—front, back, and sides—were all dotted with white spots, "sparing no part" of her.
Gou Ni’s round eyes went wide as she scratched her head. An Jin, however, was focused, carefully pressing and blending the milky liquid, allowing the lotion to spread evenly across the female’s skin.
Gou Ni gradually began to feel its wonderful effects—she could feel the cool lotion seeping into her skin, and it was as if her pores were opening up and breathing.
Whether it was due to the massage technique or the milky liquid itself, her body gradually relaxed, reaching a state of blissful comfort.
Gou Ni simply lay her head on An Jin’s lap, entrusting herself to her completely and letting her friend "ravage" her as she pleased.
When she woke up, it was nearly dusk. The moment Gou Ni remembered that blockhead Hei Xuan was probably still waiting foolishly outside, she scrambled up and ran out.
"Hei Xuan!"
The Black Eagle Beastman, who had been standing motionless outside the door for half the day, looked up in pleasant surprise at the sound of her voice. The moment he saw Gou Ni, he froze completely.
"...Nini?"
Hei Xuan caught the little female as she threw herself at him, his tall frame shielding her from the cool night wind. He couldn’t believe the satiny smoothness of the female skin pressed against his chest.
In Hei Xuan’s eyes, Gou Ni had always been beautiful. Even when her skin was darker, she was beautiful; no matter what, she was beautiful to him.
But now, it was as if a decade’s worth of grime had been washed away. Her skin looked much fairer and felt even more tender and smooth, making one instinctively want to cherish and protect her.
Hei Xuan unconsciously held his breath, his heart pounding in his chest. The tips of his ears turned slightly red.
Gou Ni gave him an amused look and pinched his firm, long arm. "Have you gone silly? It’s not the first time you’ve seen me. Why are you acting the same as always?"
Perhaps even Gou Ni herself hadn’t realized how big the change was. It wasn’t until Hei Xuan pulled her to the riverbank and she happened to catch a glimpse of her reflection in the water that she jumped up with a cry of alarm. "Ah! Is that me?!"
She leaned over the riverbank, staring at her reflection. "Oh my god! How did I get so fair? So pretty? Is... is this really me?"
’Little An Jin’s stuff works way too well! No wonder she’s gotten so much prettier herself.’
For the next few days, Gou Ni willingly acted as a guinea pig, even bringing two baskets of Red Fruit every day as payment.
Gou Ni was now practically living at An Jin’s place, spending most of the day with her. Even Hei Xuan couldn’t help but feel a little jealous.
At Gou Ni’s suggestion, An Jin improved upon the originally plain lotion, adding things like mint and flower essences to create several different scents.
After a week, the basic lotion could no longer provide significant improvements for Gou Ni; it could only serve a protective and maintenance role.
So An Jin gave her some of the lotion to use at home for her baths and for washing her face.
Completely transformed, Gou Ni began to swagger around the tribe every day. Yep, she specifically paraded around in crowded places, especially in front of Shana and her clique of annoying, narcissistic females.
Gou Ni attracted the gazes of many people.
This was true for the males, and even more so for the females.
Many Beastman males even began to discuss in private how An Jin and Gou Ni were getting prettier and prettier, calling them the most beautiful females in the tribe.
Shana was so angry her face turned dark, and her so-called best friends looked terribly upset as well.
They used to be the most popular young females in the tribe, but now everything had changed!
With the tribal gathering less than half a month away, An Jin was busy from dawn till dusk. During the day, she would carry a small basket on her back to gather ingredients, feed the insects, and feed the chickens. At night, she would enter her space to check on the growth of her crops.
She was so exhausted that she had lost a noticeable amount of weight.
But fortunately, the skincare product was finally a success.
However, an entire back-basket full of plants could only produce one small bottle of the product. The extraction rate was astonishingly low.
After a few days of experiments, she was completely out of lotion, so she had no choice but to go search for more raw materials to rush a new batch.
An Jin was dead tired. When she returned from gathering that evening, she collapsed into the small hammock in the tree outside the house, feeling drowsy. ’I never want to get up again for the rest of my life.’
’So tired. I’m just so tired. Trying to build an economy and develop products is exhausting.’
Ling Hong returned home after completing his hunt and immediately spotted the exhausted little female.
"How did you get so thin?"
