After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 170 Opening a Shop
Homeless?

Wen Shu looked up and was slightly surprised to see the seriousness in his sharp eyes.

"Aren't you going to seek revenge on Romand? And what about the females of the Blood Oath? If you weren't with those bandits..."

She gripped the fabric in her palm tightly.

Upon hearing her words, Luo Fei's red eyes flashed with a hint of evasion, and his straight back silently bent slightly.

“Don’t worry, there won’t be any more blood alliances,” he said, looking down at Wen Shu with a relieved smile. “Those vile males have been dealt with, and the other beastmen will form a new tribe under Bei Lan’s leadership.”

"As for revenge..."

Luo Fei propped himself up, his warm fingertips brushing against Wen Shu's eyes, and murmured with a sigh, "Nothing is more important than you."

He said this, but a bitter feeling welled up in his throat.

After years of planning, he thought he could finally get revenge, but in the end, his beloved female was also dragged into the turmoil.

Thinking of this, Luo Fei lowered his head in frustration, burying his angular face in Wen Shu's neck, and slowly tightened his arms, encircling her tightly in his embrace.

"Wen Shu, please stop pushing me away..."

His cold voice revealed a hint of heartbreaking weariness.

With a soft, warm breath, it fell into Wen Shu's ear, carrying a hint of weakness.

Her hand, pressed against Luo Fei's chest, slowly curled up. Gazing at his trembling hair, her thoughts drifted back to that island covered with sea flowers.

While he was relieved that she was still alive, she couldn't deny the deep emotion she felt at that moment.

"Um……"

A warmth seeped into her shoulder, and her long eyelashes slowly drooped, concealing the struggle in her eyes. "Stay."

Breathing stopped for a few seconds on the side of the neck.

Immediately afterwards, Luo Fei hugged her even tighter, and when he raised his face, his eyes and brows were full of smiles.

"I knew you liked me too."

He hastily wiped his eyes, like a child who had finally gotten a piece of candy, and pressed on, asking, "When did you start liking me?"

He looked energetic and showed no trace of his previous dejection.

Wen Shu's brow relaxed, and she realized something was amiss. Before, when Luo Fei was rejected by her, he never cried; why was he crying now…?

She grabbed Luo Fei's face, which was getting closer and closer, and looked at his upturned eyes. She pouted and said, "Pretending to cry, trying to imitate me, huh?"

With his scheme exposed, and fearing she might back down again, Luo Fei put his arm around her waist. "How can that be the same? This is just for fun..."

"you--"

Wen Shu was speechless. Just as she was about to open her mouth, a warm kiss landed on her lips.

The gentle touch was fleeting, as if he was considering something.

She glared at him fiercely, and Luo Fei's eyes curved into a smile. He pressed his nose against hers and muttered in a low voice, "You have to take responsibility for your words. If you go back on your word, I'm going to stay at your house and not leave."

"And you're going to go around spreading the word that you're a bad woman, that you started something and then abandoned it, that you don't keep your word..."

When he started talking, his lips, as red as if smeared with flower juice, opened and closed, making one's mouth dry.

Wen Shu pursed her lips, raised her hand to cover his mouth, and her restless heart finally calmed down a bit. "I'm not full yet."

The arms around her waist loosened, and Luo Fei straightened his back. He didn't give up holding her, but changed his position, intending to feed her like Wu Xuan had.

Looking at the chunk of meat in front of him, Wen Shu remained motionless.

If she gets used to it, won't people think she can't take care of herself...?

"I will do it myself."

She reached out to take it, but Luo Fei nimbly dodged, leaning close to her ear and saying unhappily, "Doesn't what I feed it smell as good as what that leopard eats?"

"..."

Wen Shu ignored him, her fingertips resting on the hilt of the knife. Before she could apply any force, a wet patch brushed against her cheek.

"It seems you prefer doing other interesting things with me to eating..." A warm, suggestive voice whispered close to his ear.

She shrank her neck because of the tickling sensation, but Luo Fei became even more excessive and gently bit her earlobe.

A series of warm sensations descended from the earlobe into the neck.

"I'll eat, I'll eat..."

Wen Shu raised her hand to push him away. When Luo Fei finally calmed down, she slowly breathed a sigh of relief. When she looked up, she met a pair of dark golden eyes again.

Wu Xuan, carrying a pair of white low-heeled shoes, slowly approached with her broad figure. Seeing the two joking around, she simply looked away.

"Ah Shu, I need to go out for a bit later."

He knelt down, took Wen Shu's foot in his hand, and helped her put on her shoes. His eyes remained lowered as he said, "I might be back a little late."

Seeing the fleeting sadness on his face, Wen Shu wanted to return to the ground, but Luo Fei tightened his grip on her waist. "Don't worry, I'll protect you. You should hurry up and improve your strength so you don't become a burden..."

He was full of vigor and high spirits, while Wu Xuan's face turned pale and then dark, her eyes filled with tears as she looked up, turned around, and was about to leave.

Wen Shu finally understood what had happened between the two of them.

Luo Fei's mouth looked like it was smeared with poison; he was even more like a vicious "supporting female character" than she was!
"Wu Xuan, wait a minute."

She pried Luo Fei's hands off, took a few steps to hug Wu Xuan's arm, looked up, and saw a tear slide down his chin.

Wen Shu felt terrible for him and pulled him back to the bedroom, pressing him down to sit on the edge of the bed. "Where are you going?"

She cupped Wu Xuan's face in her hands, pulled up her sleeve, and gently wiped away his damp eyes. "Aren't you going to tell me? I'll be very worried if you don't come back late."

Her brows furrowed slightly, and her amber eyes were filled with a hazy, soft light.

Wu Xuan forced a smile, his lowered lips curving upwards, making it look more like a grimace. "Ah Shu, Luo Fei is right. I'm a useless piece of trash. I'm not worthy of being your beastly husband..."

As he spoke, he began to belittle himself.

Wen Shu pursed her lips, hugged his slightly stiff head, and retorted, "Who says I'm not worthy? You're my beastly husband, whether I'm worthy or not is up to me. Besides, nothing comes easily..."

"Are you planning to go out of the city to find the giant corpse beast?" she suddenly thought of something.

Looking down at Wu Xuan, she saw his eyes flicker and his long eyelashes tremble, realizing that she had guessed correctly.

"I know you're eager to advance your rank, but you have to take it one step at a time."

She has seen too many people who are too eager for quick success die on the road to advancement.

Wen Shu squatted down seriously, forcing him to look at her. "I understand you want to become stronger. But there's more than one way to improve your rank. My method is safer."

"Besides, I'm also in a hurry to advance my rank. How about we go together? If it's not useful, I'll accompany you out of the city, okay?"

Seeing how worried Wen Shu was, Wu Xuan's impulse instantly died down. He grasped her cold hand and said, "I'm not going, A-Shu, don't worry."

“It’s my fault,” he said, taking Wen Shu’s hand and breathing on it twice. “But I still want to take on a few missions. All the crystal coins here belong to the bandits…”

He suspected Lach's motives.

Wen Shu listened to his words and reached the same conclusion as him, albeit through a different approach.

The matter of the tree's branches and leaves has not yet been clarified.

However, Yining has just taken office, so it will probably be some time before he arrives.

They still need to make a living during this time.

Although there were crystal coins in the basement, she couldn't use them with a clear conscience.

but……

We could borrow some of it.

She curled her lips into a smile. "Wu Xuan, you're right."

Wu Xuan was taken aback and hadn't reacted when someone put their arm around his shoulder and patted him. "How about we rent a place and temporarily open a medical clinic?"
