After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 164 Looking for a way out
Back in the room, Wen Shu handed Luo Fei over to A Wen and then secretly activated her supernatural abilities, wandering around the room aimlessly.

When they reached the corner near the window close to the coast, their superpowers failed.

After confirming the approximate location, the little pterosaur regained its majestic appearance during treatment, although it was still "unconscious".

Wen Shu took him, not ignoring the worry in A-Wen's eyes.

But she dared not reveal it, and carried Luo Fei back to the hall. Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered, a strong killing intent that seemed to be real rushed towards her.

Beside the lavishly laid-out meat at the table, Rach's face was grim, his deep blue eyes blazing with fury. Across from him, Romand's lips curled slightly, his eyes equally filled with a chilling, predatory intent.

"It seems that this cooperation will not be possible."

Romand gave a cold laugh and wearily pinched the bridge of his nose.

Faced with such a terrifying atmosphere, Wen Shu was stunned for a few seconds. When Romand looked at her, she hurriedly hid behind Rach.

"what happened?"

She took Lach's arm and shook it vigorously.

"Don't be afraid."

Rach held her hand down and patted it reassuringly, his assertive manner making him seem nothing like someone being held hostage.

"Since Leader Romand has no sincerity, what's the point of discussing cooperation?"

He propped himself up on his arms, his tall figure walking around the dining table, his large hand enveloping Wen Shu's hand, and walked towards the door.

The guards, who had been lying in wait in the shadows, began to move toward the door, making a rustling sound.

Wen Shu frowned, looked at the dragon beastmen at the exit, and secretly exerted force in her palm, but after a moment, the beastmen scattered again.

"How about this, Chief Lach, send a message back to the valley. As long as there is a reply, I will remove the magnet."

Romand strode closer, his sharp eyebrows slightly raised, but the coldness in his eyes remained undiminished.

Clearly, he was unwilling to concede, but had no choice but to do so to ensure everything went smoothly.

Upon hearing these words, Rach, whose expression was cold and stern, loosened his grip slightly.

"Pleasant to work with."

The message was sent out via a photo stone, and the two left the hall as the sun was setting.

The rich glow of the setting sun dyed the shimmering sea red, and a cool, damp sea breeze brushed against my cheeks.

"We want to go to the beach to watch the sunset; we don't need anyone else with us."

Wen Shu drove away Romand's men, grasped Lach's hand, and ran towards the shore.

At this time, all the dragon orcs have gone home for dinner. Only a few old orcs can be seen scattered along the coast, jumping into the sea to catch fish.

Wen Shu felt a little suspicious, but didn't think much of it. Afraid of being followed, she quickly walked along the coast and entered a sparsely populated path.

"Luo Fei, is there a more secluded way out of Dragon Island?"

She asked in a low voice, while Rofi, hidden under her robes, gripped her front paws tightly and pointed to the beautiful garden behind the castle.

"The tool shed has a tunnel that leads directly to the seabed."

The moment he spoke, Rah's expression changed slightly. Seeing him nestled in the female's arms, he curled his lip in displeasure.

He grabbed Wen Shu's arm directly, pulling her attention back, "Shu, there are still people watching us."

Hearing his movement, Luo Fei's red eyes turned cold. He cautiously released his claws, narrowed his eyes, and deliberately said, "Mistress, you must be careful. Romand's ability is very dangerous."

Wen Shu nodded, but she didn't stop walking. She pretended to be admiring the scenery and looked around.

Then, in a deep voice, Rach said, "Mistress, I will protect you."

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.

The female protagonist...

Wen Shu had just circled the castle and arrived at a quiet palace when she noticed a gaze that seemed to be tangible in her arms, leaving her somewhat bewildered.

She couldn't see the little pterosaur's expression through her robes, but suddenly felt a slight stinging pain in her collarbone.

And those hard dragon claws were pressed against her chest.

"Don't move."

Her cheeks flushed instantly, and Wen Shu whispered a warning, quickly stopping the little pterosaur that was wriggling in her arms.

When he looked up again, he saw a faint golden light quietly illuminating the tranquil palace, and he froze on the spot. In the original story, weren't the branches of the Dragon Island's sacred tree destroyed?
It seems to be a story that takes place six months from now...

Pushing aside the perfectly trimmed, lush green branches, Wen Shu took a few steps closer, wanting to get a better look, but the guards outside the palace blocked their way with menacing expressions.

"This is a sacred site; unauthorized personnel are prohibited from entering."

The tree branches and leaves of the divine tree flashed with golden light rapidly, as if urging her to come closer, just like the situation in the underwater palace.

But now was not the time. Wen Shu withdrew her gaze, recalled the relevant information about the branch and leaf, and returned to her room.

She remembered that the female protagonist was about to learn the truth about the pollution of the beast world through this branch, but was suddenly interrupted by... a maddened sea beast.

"Madam, what's wrong?"

Lach sat down beside her, wanting to get a little closer, but the little pterosaur, pretending to be unconscious, lashed his arm with its tail.

Wen Shu shook her head, met his worried gaze, and inexplicably remembered the scalding cup of water, so she lowered her eyes uncomfortably.

"I know where the loophole in the magnet array is."

She shared the information with Rah and announced her decision: "At dawn, you will destroy the magnet, and I will retrieve the branches of the divine tree. We will meet at the temple."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lach refused outright, "It's too dangerous. I'll take you to get it after we destroy the magnet array."

He grasped Wen Shu's thin shoulders, wanting to offer some advice, but she gently interrupted him.

"Believe me."

Her back was straight, and her neat long hair covered her chin, revealing a hint of fragility, but her sparkling eyes showed her confidence and determination at this moment.

Lach's breath hitched, the words on the tip of his tongue were swallowed back down his throat, and his heart felt as if it had been struck by a sharp object, inexplicably quickening its pace.

"The temple's defenses are weak, but the castle's defenses are..."

The female was calmly analyzing the situation beside his ear, but he couldn't hear her words.

My gaze fell on her opening and closing lips, and I could feel her restless heartbeats threatening to overwhelm my reason.

"Rach?"

A snow-white hand waved in front of my eyes.

Lach's gaze fell on her slender wrist, and he boldly raised his hand to grasp it, "Wen Shu..."

His palm was warm and smooth against her wrist. He unconsciously rubbed it a couple of times, his Adam's apple bobbing impatiently. He stammered, asking for her opinion, "I... I really want to kiss you, is that okay?"

The passionate and straightforward words suddenly struck Wen Shu's ears, causing her heart to skip a beat, and she even forgot to struggle.

"you……"

She instinctively prepared to refuse, but when she looked up, she met Rach's deep blue eyes, which sparkled with light and were filled with intense, pure heat.

The hurtful words were stuck in his throat.

A glimmer of hope appeared in Rach's eyes, and he nervously held his breath.

He saw the female's clear eyes slowly magnify before him, and his hands, which were supporting him on the edge of the bed, crumpled the sheets.

The fragrance filled his nostrils, and his heart trembled. Touching that soft touch, he felt as if he had fallen into the clouds.

The female did not move away...

Lach's eyes were full of laughter, and he wanted to push his luck further, but a pair of hands blocked his chest and he pushed him away swiftly.

Wen Shu took a few steps back, trying to avoid his suddenly downcast gaze, and got up to sit at the table.

Having just tasted the sweetness, Lach stared at her like a candy, his gaze following her every move, clinging to her as he tried to sit down next to her.

He reluctantly got up, but the female stopped him, saying, "You stay there, don't come over."

"Well……"

Lach moved stealthily, and Wen Shu glared at him sharply. Only then did he slump back onto the edge of the bed.

But his disappointment didn't last long; his eyes were soon filled with laughter again, and he rubbed his lips with his fingertips, letting out a soft chuckle from time to time.
