Chapter 112: Chapter 112: Lady Female
In the lush forest, a caravan of dozens of males stopped beside the grass.
Through the gaps in the leaves, Wen Shu carefully observed but did not spot Lucius; instead, several Wolf Beasts caught her attention.
They were carrying heavy parcels, bulging shapes that gave no clue as to what was inside.
Until a ray of sunlight shone through, refracting a cool silver light.
Sensing something odd, Wen Shu frowned slightly, and before she could think further, a strange figure stepped into view.
Amidst the dense green, the tall figure of a male appeared intermittently, draped in a low-profile yet luxurious gold-threaded black robe, with neatly trimmed short hair.
"Lord Lu Di, there is a female ahead, the adopted daughter of the City Lord of Su’en City."
After listening to Ku Jia’s report, he slowly turned around, revealing a sculptural, handsome face.
The sharp and rugged contours, deep-set eyes, high straight nose, and a pair of deep sea-like blue eyes showed a powerful yet gentle light in the sunlight.
Upon hearing of the female in distress, his brows furrowed slightly, and he walked closer with some urgency, bent down, and cradled Bai Qiao in his arms, ordering in a deep voice, "Prepare a chair."
His voice was low and warm, his footsteps steady as he approached the group, his hand supporting the female’s back with considerable gentlemanly conduct.
Seeing him as described in books, though holding a high position, he still respects females, is a restrained and gentle good Beastman, Wen Shu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Alright, let’s go too."
As the team beneath the trees disappeared from view, she and Wu Xuan also made their way to the migration team.
With Bai Qiao in Lu Di’s hands, there was reassurance.
The entanglements between the female protagonist and her nine Beast Husbands mostly revolved around breeding offspring, and a few even favored imprisonment, directly obstructing her.
Only Craig and Lu Di played crucial roles in the female protagonist’s growth.
One helped the female protagonist promote her status, and the other paved the way for her in the Royal City, making connections widely.
With these two males, and letting Bai Qiao come into contact with the Divine Tree Leaves, everything should soon fall into place,
Returning to the migration team, Wen Shu perched on the Black Panther’s back, yet to recover from her thoughts, once again saw the familiar caravan.
Lu Di placed the awakened Bai Qiao back on the ground, just as he approached Bai Rong’s family to explain what had happened.
How did they come here?
She was a bit surprised, but...
Bai Qiao stood dependently beside Lu Di, her cheeks flushed. The tall male occasionally met her gaze, his eyes filled with tenderness.
It seemed that something had already developed.
Wen Shu eased her mind, but out of the corner of her eye saw Mious, exuding a dark aura as he approached them.
Oh no, I haven’t thought of how to explain...
She guiltily withdrew her gaze, only to suddenly feel another pair of eyes fixed on her.
The Wolf Beast at the back of the caravan had a pair of cold, blood-red eyes that looked accurately at her through the large migration team.
Seeing her look back, the scholarly and handsome face of the male, surrounded by white hair, raised a vague smile, his pale lips moved slightly.
"Female Chief, long time no see..."
Wen Shu’s brow twitched, a chill running down her back, while the other simply lifted an eyebrow, his smile growing deeper.
Does he still harbor ill intentions, wanting to kill her?
Though bound by a contract, she felt no fear, yet she had planned to have a meal at the City Lord’s House; if he was there, she feared it would spoil her appetite.
Unhappily, she pressed her lips tightly, her waist suddenly tightened, and she was pulled into a cold, hard embrace.
"Where have you all been?"
The male’s low and somewhat hurried voice resounded overhead.
Her shoulder tingled from the chest’s vibration; Wen Shu slightly lifted her gaze.
She saw Mious frowning, his stern face filled with coldness, yet those deep green eyes showed profound concern.
In her silence, the male frowned slightly and directly lifted her up, coldly questioning, "Wu Xuan, she’s fooling around everywhere, and you are following blindly. What if something happens?"
Scolded by him, the Black Panther inexplicably felt guilty; he only wanted to fulfill the female’s wishes and did overlook this...
But who could bear to refuse the female’s request?
The Black Panther beside lowered his head, while Mious’s concerned yet accusing gaze fell back on the female’s dazed face.
Pinned under his overwhelming gaze, Wen Shu stiffened, suddenly feeling like she had been caught doing something wrong by a parent.
She swallowed, gripping the beast skin at her sleeve, her muscle memory allowing her to immediately voice her confession, "I promise there won’t be a next time, no, there won’t be another time!"
Seeing her serious expression, Mious’s frown eased a little. Tightening his arm around her, he carried her toward the direction of the City Lord’s family.
"Mother instructed me to take you all to eat when you returned." His tone was familiar, cheerful as he received acknowledgment, bringing a smile to his lips.
Seeing his cheerful face, Wen Shu felt a tightness in her heart; Bai Rong, the old fox, what kind of potion did she give him?
"Mious, what did she tell you?"
She frowned, her tone filled with wariness; Mious didn’t expect such a strong reaction, truthfully replied, "Mother said she’d host an engagement banquet for us."
In the strictly hierarchical Beast City, only the main husband is eligible to have a wedding...
His voice held a slight tremor, but upon seeing the female’s wary expression, the joy in his eyes faded slightly.
Engagement?
Wen Shu was stunned for a moment, nearly laughing in disbelief; they were even painting a picture on her, and cautious Mious actually believed it.
The original mother’s same rhetoric was used on all powerful and influential suitors of her daughters for years without change.
What’s more laughable is, how dare she make decisions for her?
Though Bai Qiao was willing to be controlled by her, it didn’t mean she was.
With Bai Rong’s family right in front, afraid Mious would be persuaded again, Wen Shu hooked his neck close to his blushing ear, whispering, "Don’t believe her, my mother is not a good person."
Before the words finished, another shadow fell above, an uncomfortable cold aura enveloping her.
Wen Shu looked up and met a pair of blood-red eyes.
Lucius’s gentle face formed a deep smile, his voice tenderly drowning, "Female Chief, I’ve missed you."
He lifted his pale fingertips, wanting to touch her face, but before he got close, it was slapped away hard, "Get lost."
Wen Shu was deeply repulsed, fiercely wiping her hand.
The commotion immediately caught the attention of the City Lord’s family.
The back of his hand burned, Lucius gazed at the female’s disgusted and resistant expression, a rare thrill surging in his heart.
Ever since their last separation, he had been uncontrollably longing for this female.
He couldn’t forget the enticingly cold face she showed when she retaliated against him, nor the shock she gave him at the cliff that day.
This was what he had imagined the female who would save him should be like...
If not for being ensnared by the High-level Plant Beast, letting the Blood Alliance Leader take her first.
By now, she might have forgiven and accepted him.
Lucius caressed his sore hand, his tone genuinely repentant, "Female Chief, it was my fault before. If you are angry, you can hit me back; I won’t resist."
On his noble and polite face appeared a blush, he retrieved a Bone Knife from his sleeve, wanting to place it in Wen Shu’s arms.
Mious coldly watched him, his brows tightly knit, "It’s you?"
He certainly remembered this guy, who had pursued the female since the tribe and now appeared again.
He held Wen Shu tighter, retreating to the side, yet as Wu Xuan freshly transformed back into human form, his eyes turned red, swinging a fist at Lucius!
