As his imagination ran wild, his body was aroused, giving rise to his dragon of love; however, noticing it, Ashen's eyes widened in horror as he muttered in fright: "No No No... Don't..."

He pulled his pants down as his pupils contracted in disgust and terror as his gaze fell on the straight, hard dick that had shrunk down unimaginably.

"No! My Dragon of Love!!" Ashen let out a traumatic howl. "Where did you disappear?!"

"What kind of cruel joke is this?" He asked with a hurtful smile as tears welled up in his eyes.

He touched it just to check if this wasn't an illusion, and this action only broke his heart more.

With a hazed expression, gazing at the small dick, he commented, "It's like more than three times shorter than mine."

Tears streamed down his face as he mumbled like a heartbroken man: "It's like a dick of a child."

"This is like a curse." He spoke dazedly. "Why did I choose Huan Tian to shapeshift into??"

Since his body had become the same as Huan Tian's down to the last hair, his dick turned the same size as his too.

"How am I supposed to fuck any woman with this??"

"Even I'm ashamed to look at it..."

"How will I show it to anyone else??"

"Huan Tian, you had a more miserable life than I thought..."

He suddenly felt a newfound sympathy for Huan Tian, whom he killed without batting an eye.

It took some time for him to come to a normal state of mind, and when he did, he instantly remembered his system.

"System, my friend." He spoke, his tone laced with butter. "You are mighty. You must have a solution for this, right?"

"Can you return my dragon to its normal size?"

The system was quick to reply, as always, as if listening to him all this time.

[Ding! Host, This mighty system can do it; however, you do not possess the required Villain Points.]

Ashen's lips twitched at this response as he spoke hurriedly: "Tell me how much I need."

If it was not too much, Ashen would go and earn this many villain points as soon as possible, even if it meant charging headfirst at a protagonist.

However, the system's response killed his excitement.

[Ding! Host, Since the system will need to maintain the shapeshift effect, changing only your penis will cost 10 million Villain Points.]

Ashen looked at the message as the shine in his eyes left his body.

He dazedly pulled up his pants and lay down on his bed, cursing his luck for a good fifteen minutes.

He was in no hurry, and this sorrow of his took priority.

Ten million was too high of a price to spend on increasing the size of his dick. Moreover, Ashen was going to turn back into his original appearance after his work was done here.

It would be a waste to spend ten million for this.

Let's control my urges...

It shouldn't be that difficult.

It is for a short period only.

It's not like I have to live with this short dick for my whole life.

Let's get a move on...

I should begin with the plan, instead of drowning in my sorrow.

If I distract myself, I should be able to lessen this pain.

He then wrote a letter containing the order to spread rumors of the fox spirit beast appearing in the forest.

He himself went to the forest to enslave beasts to attack Fanrong's group.

Back to the present,

Mei Xueyao, with a charming smile that could captivate the hearts of a thousand men, greeted Fanrong, Qin Feng, and Yedu Wuyan:

"Please accept the greetings of the Mei Hua Tribe!"

Yedu Wuyan and Qin Feng both cupped their hands in greetings; however, their heads were turned to the side.

Only Yedu Wuyan sneaked glances at her beautiful face with a blushed expression; however, even he knew that looking at her directly for a long interval could be dangerous for him.

Qin Feng, on the other hand, didn't even try to look towards her. Wang Biao, his lover, who was injured right now, made him promise in the past that he would never look directly at Mei Xueyao, unless necessary.

With Wang Biao injured, Qin Feng couldn't even dream of breaking his promise to her.

Fanrong, on the other hand, looked at her for longer intervals. Being a woman, she had a higher resistance to her charms.

She cupped her hands in response to Mei Xueyao's greetings and bowed: "Let's work together and not harm one another."

It was a subtle warning from Fanrong to Mei Xueyao and Yedu Wuyan.

They both cultivated paths where they could harm larger groups.

Fanrong couldn't trust them easily.

"Of course." Mei Xueyao smiled gracefully. "There's no need to mention it."

She then suggested in her sweet voice, "We should instead discuss how we should cooperate."

"I agree." Yedu Wuyan nodded in agreement.

"What's there to discuss?" Qin Feng annoyingly asked. "We should follow the same plan as usual."

The plan he was referring to was the rotation of groups.

The expedition team at the front would engage and deal with any enemy that appeared, without interference from the others.

Once their battle concluded, the group that had just fought would move to the rear, while the next group in line would take the lead and handle the next encounter.

In this way, every expedition group would have ample time to rest after each fight.

Moreover, since the four tribes cultivated different paths, it was difficult for them to cooperate seamlessly.

"I agree." Fanrong agreed with Qin Feng. "The group in the front will be responsible for taking care of the beasts that appear until we reach the treasure's location. Until then we should cooperate with each other."

Fanrong meant to say that this cooperation would only last until they reach the treasure's location.

Afterwards, they will be free to act on their own.

"Then how about we enter the forest after fifteen minutes?" Mei Xueyao asked calmly. "I need to discuss our battle plan with my group when our group comes to the front."

"I have no objection." Yedu Wuyan said with a smile meant for Xueyao; however, without giving him the attention, she returned to her group without any delay to discuss her plans.

Her tribe cultivated the enchantment path, and using it in a battle against beasts wasn't easy. She needed to come up with a way to not appear weak in front of other tribes' groups.

"Ahem, then I'll also take my leave to discuss with my subordinates." Yedu Wuyan, hiding his embarrassment, left to converse with his group.

He called them his subordinates because he had already been announced as the successor to the patriarch of the Yedu Tribe.
