Chapter 85: Chapter 85: The Scent of Estrus

Over here, Luna clutched her stomach and hurriedly ran into the forest. Even though the night was dark, the moonlight was bright, casting through the gaps in the leaves, making it clear enough to see.

She found a secluded spot, took out a sanitary pad from her system backpack, opened the package, and laid it out.

She pulled down her beast skin skirt and placed the sanitary pad on her homemade underwear.

After fixing it, she put on the beast skin skirt again, exhaling deeply.

In her past life, she suffered from period cramps, and every time her period came, it was like going through a tribulation. She didn’t expect that after time traveling to the beast world, this problem would follow her here.

She stood up, leaning against the tree trunk, cursing her menstrual cramps a thousand times in her heart.

This problem is really persistent, even time travel can’t shake it off.

With a pale face, she slowly walked out of the forest, about to return to the fire to sit down, when she noticed everyone giving her strange looks.

Corbin Crowley stared at her with his silver eyes, and as the scent of blood grew stronger with her approach, it drove him to the brink of madness, making him even more restless inside.

He even felt a little like transforming into his true form.

He glanced down…

His handsome face turned dark, and he shifted his sitting position with a composed expression to hide his embarrassment.

Luna noticed the beastmen staring at her with odd expressions and a hint of restlessness.

Some even showed their wolf tails, wagging them back and forth, looking agitated and on the edge of pouncing but hesitant.

She was momentarily stunned and felt perplexed, scared by everyone’s demeanor.

She had never encountered such a scene before; what would happen if they all pounced?

“What’s going on? Did everyone eat aphrodisiac fruit?”

She couldn’t help but mutter softly, glancing at Corbin Crowley to see his face darker than usual.

Moreover, why is he sitting so awkwardly?

The beastmen who heard her muttering all twitched their mouths violently.

Right now, you yourself are the aphrodisiac fruit, and the top-grade kind, making them want to pounce and bully you mercilessly.

But they dare not.

Usually, females in the tribe rarely come out during estrus; most stay in their caves alone or mate with their respective beast husbands.

Like Luna wandering around during estrus, there’s truly not many.

Confused, Luna walked to the fire and sat down, just about to say something.

Corbin Crowley, sitting next to her, instantly sprang up and walked away.

As if she were some sort of terrible menace.

She blinked, watching Corbin Crowley’s departing back, feeling utterly speechless.

This damn man, what is up with him?

She looked at the other beastmen, noticing their strange stares, some with implicit intensity, feeling more and more confused, and creeped out by their staring.

It was as if something about her attracted them.

She looked down at herself, finding nothing odd except the bloodstained beast skin skirt.

And the stained area was on her backside, unseen while she was sitting.

It’s not that she didn’t want to clean it, but she had no clean beast skin skirt to change into.

If she washed it directly, it would be cold and wet, which could cause catching a cold at night, and her period pain might worsen.

“Why are you all looking at me like that?”

Luna picked up the roasted boar meat beside the fire, taking a bite as she asked Finn Arcanus not far away.

Hmm, it tastes good, crispy outside and tender inside, with a hint of sweetness, delicious.

Corbin Crowley had walked far, standing with arms crossed, leaning against a tree, watching intently over here.

Seeing her eating the roasted meat, recalling how it had once dropped on his crotch, his lips curled slightly.

Not even intending to remind her at all.

Finn Arcanus, hearing Luna’s question, looked embarrassed.

How should he tell her?

He couldn’t possibly say they’re attracted by her estrus scent and want to mate with her, could he?

Although it’s the truth, he couldn’t bring himself to say it.

If he dared to speak it, the next second Corbin Crowley might tear him apart.

Though Luna and Corbin Crowley often bicker and dislike each other, not living together, they’re a lawful couple.

Finn Arcanus’s gaze fell back on Luna, noticing she seemed unaware of her own estrus, his lips twitched again.

This female, sharp when she shouldn’t be, and overly sharp when she should be oblivious.

He coughed lightly to mask his embarrassment, looking away to pretend he hadn’t heard her question.

Luna, seeing his demeanor, felt increasingly bewildered.

She took another bite of the roasted boar meat in her hand, internally asking the system, “System, what’s up with them? They’re all acting so strange?”

The system was silent for a while before answering slowly, “Well, if I’m not mistaken, they might be attracted to a special scent on you.”

“Special scent? What special scent?”

She chewed the roast meat, asking internally with confusion.

She smelled herself and found nothing unusual. “Nothing smells odd.”

The system sighed and explained, “It’s not the kind of scent you’re thinking of, but a scent emitted by females at certain times, attracting males. To put it simply, you’re in estrus now.”

“Estrus?”

Luna was momentarily taken aback and then realized, “You mean my current state is like a female animal in estrus in animal world?”

The system confirmed, “You’re in that state now. So those male beastmen being attracted to you is just a normal physiological reaction.”

Listening to the system, she understood a bit.

She recalled that in the beast world, a female having her period is indeed considered to be in estrus, and her face showed some embarrassment.

She didn’t expect her estrus period would start at such a time, in front of so many male beastmen.

“What should I do now?”

Her face turned a shade of red, asking with embarrassment.

This period would last at least a week, and she couldn’t handle being stared at by so many beastmen every day.

The system chuckled, “What do you mean what to do? This is a great opportunity; use it to pounce on Corbin Crowley and complete the side quest. Don’t forget the quest deadline is in three and a half days, and if you complete this task, you get 50 bags of toilet paper…”

Luna looked bewildered, shocked by the system, and speechlessly asked, “System, I’m on my period now…”

The system laughed twice, the sound echoing in her mind, “Female beasts in the beast world and humans are different; they enjoy mating during estrus, and don’t you feel the desire yourself?”

She twitched her mouth’s corners, feeling roasted crisp by the system.

“System, are you really giving me advice or setting me up?”

She’s utterly speechless; she wasn’t that bold.

Now, with period cramps killing her, all she wanted was to roll on the ground, not to pounce on Corbin Crowley.

The system chuckled again, “Why would I set you up? I’m just stating facts. If a female in estrus doesn’t mate with a male, it feels really uncomfortable, uncomfortable enough to moan at night. If the host can endure, then just ignore me…”

It added, “The host should realize, you may look human now, but your essence is still animal.”

Luna frowned, unwilling to admit it, but she knew the system made sense.

This is the beast world; her soul had traveled here, and her body’s essence is that of a female wolf.

But thinking about moaning at night, she felt like cringing enough to carve out a three-bedroom apartment with her toes.

She definitely didn’t want to be moaning at night, surrounded by a group of beastmen watching.

And if what the system implied is true, if she doesn’t mate with a male, she’ll keep making sounds?

This is too socially embarrassing…
