"..."

They were all speechless. The males stared at each other and stared at Ayra.

"This female really is shameless..." one said. "She wants to come in and take a bath with us? All naked?"

"I haven’t seen the body of a female before. And I don’t wish to start with an F-rank like her," another glared at Ayra. "So she can dream on!"

"Hey female! You can’t use our stream. You’re not part of our tribe! So leave!"

"Exactly! And we don’t want to bathe with you!" another said as they all chorused, "Yes!"

Ayra rolled her eyes. "You’ve got to be kidding me. Having such amazing body features and then an annoying personality is just a downgrade," she muttered as she quickly thought of a solution.

She smiled as she stared at them. "Okay. I guess you won’t be leaving the stream anytime soon," she slowly nodded as she said with a smile. "Then I guess I’ll have to take my bath with you guys anyways."

Ayra smiled as she slowly approached them.

"!...!"

They stared at her in shock and confusion.

"What’s she doing?"

"She’s approaching? Why?"

Ayra smiled as she brought her hands to the clothing hanging around her shoulder which covered and held onto her breasts firmly. And then she casually and flirtatiously played on it while teasing to remove it.

[Ding!]

[Illusionary Beauty Charm Temporarily activated!]

[From the accumulated beauty stats of 30%, host has activated temporary beauty charm]

[This will temporarily create an illusionary charm to the people around host for her to get away with what she wants]

[Note: Host can’t activate this at will. The system will when necessary]

Immediately, a soft pinkish smoke brushed around Ayra’s body. She could feel herself glowing in pink light as she stared down at these men in the stream.

Ayra smiled, seductively tugging on her clothing as though she wanted to go naked and enter the stream. She came closer as she raised her leg, exposing her laps for these men to see.

The male beasts in the stream gulped at the sight of Ayra. What they saw now was a growing beauty before them. And her body radiated strongly to them.

"What’s happening...?" one panicked.

"Is she going to take her bath here with us..."

"I.. I haven’t seen a female’s body before and I don’t think I’m ready.."

"Me too..."

"I don’t know... Let’s just get out of here," another suggested, panicking.

The sight before them was too tempting. Especially with Ayra pulling close to enter the stream with them, naked. And so, immediately they all rushed out of the water, naked with their cheeks flushed.

They pulled their clothes at the side and immediately left, leaving Ayra all alone there.

[Illusionary beauty charm deactivated]

Ayra smiled as she watched these men run off. "I guess at the end of the day, they’re scared off by beauty," she sighed. Ayra figured that the system feature was a pretty helpful feature, especially for filter purposes. Too bad she couldn’t activate it at will.

She approached the stream and bent down to take a look inside, and for the second time she saw her face. That "ugly" face of the F-rank female.

Ayra vaguely recalled the first face she had seen after transmigration. It wasn’t the face of a monster as everyone made it out to be. There were no twisted features or frightening scars. Rather, it was seemingly a face that was likely ignored and treated poorly by the original host. One that seemed to be assembled slightly wrongly.

The previous skin she recalled was rough and uneven, carrying several faint dark marks along her cheeks and jawline. Tiny blemishes dotted her complexion. Years of neglect and poor health had left her skin dull and lifeless, lacking the healthy glow most young women possessed.

Her eyes were decent in shape, but they always appeared tired and heavy. The shadows beneath them made her look older than her age, while her slightly swollen eyelids dulled whatever charm they could have held.

Her nose wasn’t ugly, but it seemed a little broad against her other features. Her lips were dry and pale, often cracked from the wind and sun. Even her brows looked messy and uneven, making her entire face seem less refined.

Individually, none of her features were bad. Yet when put together, they created an ordinary face that people easily overlooked—or mocked when compared to true beauties. And that was just the fate of an F-rank female, tagged ugly for looking ordinary or just below the beauty standard of this beast world.

But now, with at least 30% increase in the beauty stats, Ayra could see a clear vivid difference. She could see the improvement facially.

The reflection in the water made her stare longer than she thought she would. The change wasn’t drastic enough to make her unrecognizable, yet it was impossible to ignore.

The dark marks that once stained her cheeks had faded considerably, leaving behind skin that looked smoother and cleaner. Most of the stubborn blemishes were gone, revealing a complexion far more delicate than before.

Her skin seemed brighter now, carrying a faint natural glow beneath the sunlight. It no longer looked dull and unhealthy.

The puffiness around her eyes had lessened, making them appear larger and more expressive. Without the heavy shadows beneath them, her gaze seemed clearer and unexpectedly attractive. Her brows had become more defined, naturally framing her eyes and bringing harmony to her features. Even her lips appeared softer and rosier, no longer pale and cracked.

The changes were subtle individually. But when considered together, they transformed the overall impression she gave.

Ayra smiled. At least she could see some great improvement with just 30%. One could only tell how transformational it’d be if she hit 50% or even 80%!

She smiled as she ran her fingers through the water.

[Ding!]

[Host! The water is unhealthy for your body to bathe in. Doing so would ruin your improving skin!]
