Chapter 165 Failed Escape
Hearing muffled laughter coming from beside her ear, Wen Shu covered her face, increasingly regretting not having dodged away immediately.

She got up and opened the window. The moonlight was bright, and the guards by the pillars were also drowsy. After closing the window, she walked toward Rach, who was peeking at her.

He was lost in thought when she approached, his face flushed red, and he stammered, "Wen...Wen...Mistress."

Wen Shu resisted the urge to facepalm and hugged the little pterosaur. "Be careful, I'll go to the temple first."

She spoke calmly and walked to the back of the room. When Rah saw her turn and leave, his face, which had been filled with joy, instantly turned serious.

I will come to find you as soon as possible.

Wen Shu's fingertips touched the window frame. Remembering something, she whispered a reminder: "Be careful of Romand, his abilities are very strange..."

Lach paused for a few seconds, then smiled slightly, feeling a warmth from this concern.

He watched the female leave, but due to his brain injury, he couldn't feel the urgency of the impending crisis; his mind was filled only with the joy of the female's impending acceptance of him.

Meanwhile, Wen Shu wasn't too worried because of Lach's calm demeanor during dinner.

She left the castle cautiously and quickly.

Following the route I had already explored, I arrived at the temple without any obstacles, but then I stopped behind a tree, sensing something was amiss.

It seems to be going too smoothly.

Even if her strength was back to normal, and the orcs couldn't easily detect her, they didn't encounter a single patrol team from the castle to the temple...

The thought had barely crossed his mind when several well-trained orcs approached from a distance and took over from the males in the temple.

The little pterosaur poked half its head out, looked around at the empty space, and asked in confusion, "Is something wrong?"

Seeing that he didn't notice anything strange, Wen Shu shook her head. "Maybe I'm overthinking it."

She suppressed the strange feeling in her heart, picked up a few sharp stones from the ground, and tiptoed toward the back of the temple.

Once he pinpointed the guards' location, he swung his wrist with explosive force, knocking them all down.

Luo Fei, who witnessed this scene, was surprised.

He looked up at Wen Shu and saw her make a move. Her sharp eyes flashed coldly in the darkness, and his heart trembled uncontrollably.

The males guarding the temple are all at least level seven, but the females have become so powerful...

Noticing his gaze, Wen Shu didn't stop moving and rushed into the temple, where she saw the divine tree branches on the high platform.

As if sensing her presence, the dull branch suddenly burst forth with golden light.

The branch she held also shimmered with light.

Feeling a warmth in her chest, Wen Shu took out the branches and leaves from her bosom and slowly walked up to the platform. Before she could even touch them, golden light from her fingertips eagerly shot out and merged with the branches and leaves on the platform.

A wave of dizziness washed over her, and she staggered a few steps before bracing herself against the stone platform, her eyes shrouded in a dazzling golden light.

Her consciousness became chaotic, and Wen Shu shook her head, her dark vision clearing up a bit.

I could faintly hear mournful screams from beside my ears.

She suddenly opened her eyes, and what she saw was a gaping, blood-red mouth dripping with saliva, lunging straight at her.

Wen Shu's pupils constricted, but the beast passed right through her body, its pitiful screams almost piercing her eardrums.

When she saw the scene before her, she froze on the spot.

Blood was everywhere, corpses piled up like mountains, and countless wild beasts fought each other in the giant forest, emitting deafening cries.

"If this continues, we are bound to lose!"

"This is blasphemy against the Beast God!"

The scene shifts to two sea creatures with swaying fish tails plotting inside a bright and magnificent palace.

They hesitated, but soon they reached out and grasped the crystal ball on the table, which was covered with a dark red halo.

"My Lord, we are willing..."

As soon as the words were spoken, the crystal ball suddenly rolled to the ground, and from its cracked lines, a dense, almost black, red light rapidly spread, filling the azure sea.

The merfolk, having gained special powers, launched a counterattack, slaughtering the land beasts to near extinction. Realizing the gravity of the situation, they made the same choice as the merfolk. The war ended with the spread of pollution in the beast world, driving the beastmen into a collective madness, transforming them into mindless monsters.

"Great Beast God, please forgive us."

The females, who possessed a certain resistance to pollution, atoneed for their sins to the beast god through sacrifice...

The merciful Beast God forgave them, established new rules, and left the Divine Tree to maintain balance, but the "god" who had fled still retained a trace of power.

The scene blurred briefly as Wen Shu processed the information, when she suddenly heard a faint call.

"Wen Shu female."

She tried to dispel the golden mist before her eyes, but her consciousness instantly vanished. In her hazy mind, only a strangely familiar, gentle murmur remained.

"Wait for me, wait for me to come see you..."

She was a little dazed.

It wasn't until a pair of adorable dragon claws cradled her face and those bright, round eyes drew near that she realized where she was.

"I am fine."

She patted the little pterosaur's head, put away the divine tree branches, and prepared to leave from behind the temple.

But as he hurried into the corridor, a casual chuckle rang out from behind a pillar in front of him.

The little pterosaur in her arms froze for a moment. Wen Shu realized who it was, frowned, and turned to look at the person.

Romand clapped his hands, walked slowly closer, and carefully examined her, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes. "Wen Shu, you are truly remarkable."

Wen Shu remained silent, her gaze sweeping over his back. There was no one there, only the pale moonlight and a shadow that stretched longer and longer.

He came here alone, while Rach...

She pursed her lips, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. Before she could probe, Romand strolled closer and stopped in front of her. "Thinking of Rach?"

His tall figure was like a wall, completely blocking out the moonlight.

"He can barely take care of himself, so he probably can't look after you."

The close proximity made Wen Shu feel uncomfortable.

She took a half step back, clenching her fist, but before she could move, her waist was forcefully pulled, and Romand's wickedly handsome face slowly approached her.

"He's an idiot, I'm much more reliable..."

He smelled a familiar, repulsive odor, his nostrils twitched, and he raised an eyebrow slightly, saying, "Moreover, she is more considerate and gentle than my younger brother, and naturally knows more than him as well."

As he spoke, he leaned close to Wen Shu's ear and slid his hand down, "Want to try? You'll be very satisfied."

A hot, scalding touch spread across her face, and Wen Shu frowned, her long claws suddenly reaching out and stabbing at Romand without a word.

A sharp whooshing sound rang out, and Romand's eyes widened in surprise as he mobilized all his strength to retreat.

Before he could even regain his footing, that tall, sharp figure transformed into a snow-white phantom and swiftly swept towards him.

He raised his hand to block, but a dark shadow flashed by, and a tearing pain shot through his arm, leaving a deep, bone-revealing wound.

The female pressed her advantage, delivering a swift side kick straight for his heart!

Romand dodged awkwardly, his eyelids darting dangerously upwards.

Before the sacred palace, the female stood upright, with a small pterosaur perched on her shoulder, licking the blood from the tips of its claws.

"What a pleasant surprise! I didn't know you were all better!"

Having finally tricked the man out, Romand rested his knuckles on his chin and let out a chilling chuckle, "You've left behind quite a few good things... Why don't you taste them yourself?"

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and the tranquil temple was instantly filled with the rustling sound of footsteps.

Wen Shu's expression was solemn. He rushed towards Romand, attempting to take him hostage, but before he could get close, he felt several sharp pains on his back.

Her taut arms suddenly relaxed, and she collapsed weakly. Before losing consciousness, she was embraced by an unfamiliar scent.
