Chapter 172 No wonder

Wen Shu, who had read the ending of the original novel, naturally knew this.

Over thousands of years of decay, the sacred tree gradually withered, its hollow roots broke off, and were buried underground.

Only a tiny sprout remained, and due to its special prophetic function, it was scattered across the Beast World continent during the turmoil.

It was the heroine's blood that brought it back to life.

However, she remembered that when she was reading the book, she felt that the logic in that particular passage was a bit strange.

Wen Shu pursed her lips and tried to recall for a few seconds, but because so much time had passed, she had completely forgotten everything.

Just then, the owner of the cabin opened the door.

It was a tall, cute male with brown freckles on his face.

Upon seeing three strikingly handsome orcs with exceptionally superior bearing appear at his doorstep, he stared blankly for two seconds, "Who are you...?"

Wen Shu smiled slightly, but before she could speak, Luo Fei stepped forward and stood between her and the man, saying, "We're here to rent a house."

He had a broad back, and his eyes swept over the male. His lazy yet terrifying aura frightened the male so much that he dared not look up again, thinking that he had unintentionally offended some important person in the past two days.

"Please come in, all three of you."

He welcomed the three of them in, then hurried to the kitchen to prepare tea and snacks for them.

Seeing his fearful and apprehensive appearance, Wen Shu tightened her grip on Luo Fei, who was standing in front of her, and asked, "What are you doing?"

Luo Fei, who was admiring the wooden house, stopped and turned to look at her beautiful face. "Let me count, that snow owl, the snake, and..."

He held up three fingers, glanced at Wu Xuan out of the corner of his eye, and said meaningfully, "I can barely accept your deep relationship with them, but there's no guarantee that there won't be others who are blind enough to want to spar with us."

Wen Shu understood what he meant.

But she had no interest in that at all. The two of them were enough to give her a headache. If a few more came, wouldn't the house be in chaos every day?

and……

She looked up at Wu Xuan, met his burning golden eyes for a moment, and then turned her gaze to meet Luo Fei's accusing eyes.

She felt bad when they were sad.

Wen Shu wanted to say something comforting, but Luo Fei raised an eyebrow and spoke to Wu Xuan calmly, a rare occurrence for him. "Don't deny it yet. I already know about Lach. What about you? Do you know anyone else?"

Seeing his serious expression, as if he was certain that she and Lach had something going on, Wen Shu's thoughts raced. She felt guilty for a second and immediately disagreed.

"Don't overthink it, there's absolutely no possibility between him and me."

Her tone was firm, with almost no hesitation.

"Oh, is it so?"

Seeing her eagerness to explain, a smile flashed in Luo Fei's eyes, indicating that he believed her to some extent.

Unexpectedly, Wu Xuan pondered for two seconds, then decisively uttered an unfamiliar name, "Yining."

Luo Fei's smile froze for two seconds. He took a deep breath, looked down at Wen Shu, and curled his lips into a slight smile. "There really is one."

He grasped Wen Shu's hand, his fingers weaving between hers, intertwining them tightly. "Have you thought of an explanation? You can tell me now."

Her palm was burning hot. Wen Shu swallowed hard and tried to pull her hand away, but it was held even tighter.

Their clasped hands were covered in sticky sweat.

She opened her mouth, but then remembered Yining's pale and thin face, and felt that the words she was about to say were too cruel.

Was she being too greedy? But she really couldn't bear to hurt Yining.

Perhaps it was his dedication that touched me.

Or perhaps, it was that kiss before parting that was too tender, too beautiful...

Wen Shu lowered her eyes guiltily, caught sight of the cabin owner bringing out juice, mumbled something like a mosquito's buzz, broke free from her restraints, and ran away in a few steps.

"except him."

Luo Fei was surprised that she admitted it so readily. He reached out to grab her, but only managed to grab air. He felt a tightness in his chest from frustration.

Wu Xuan, standing beside him, didn't look much better either. But he wasn't angry; instead, he looked like a resentful husband who had been abandoned and could only wallow in self-pity.

"No wonder……"

Luo Fei scoffed dismissively, "With the way you treat females, how can you possibly hold on? When the time comes, eight or ten males will be staying at your place and you'll just stand there watching like this?"

After saying all that, he practically threw the words "I'm so disappointed in you" right in Wu Xuan's face.

Touched on a sore spot, Wu Xuan's lips paled slightly as he looked at Wen Shu, who was smiling broadly and negotiating prices with the owner of the wooden house.

"Some people can't be stopped, as long as Ah Shu is happy."

Upon hearing what he said, Luo Fei froze on the spot. He rubbed his ears, wondering if he was hallucinating, but looking into Wu Xuan's golden eyes, which were so affectionate they seemed to drown him, he felt a strange touch in his heart.

This leopard is truly deeply in love, putting Wen Shu first in everything, and having no principles whatsoever for her...

No wonder she was so close to him.

Realizing his own thoughts, Luo Fei frowned.

He naturally loves females and is willing to give everything for them, but he is selfish and cannot be as noble as Wu Xuan...

No, in his view, that was foolish.

Luo Fei crossed his arms, concealing his sharp hostility, and warned in a cold voice, "It's fine if you don't want to form an alliance, but don't get in my way in the future."

Meanwhile, Wen Shu and the owner of the wooden house reached an agreement on the price and completed the transaction that same day.

After handing over the contract, she asked Luo Fei to help make some medicine, then found a half-person-high wooden board and began to make simple plans for the layout she envisioned.

By the time the wooden board was covered with lines and lines, it was getting dark.

"Ah Shu, let's go home first, we can clean up tomorrow."

Inside the quiet wooden house, Wu Xuan sat beside the glass lamp, her golden eyes shimmering with light, so beautiful that it was impossible to look away.

"it is good."

Wen Shu's heart skipped a beat. She stretched and leaned into Wu Xuan's arms. When he caught her in a fluster, she smiled and tilted her head up to peck him on the lips.

"Wu Xuan, what should I do if I like you so much?"

She hooked her arms around Wu Xuan's neck, and saw his eyes flicker, his prominent Adam's apple bobbing a few times, making her teeth itch a little.

With a kick of her legs, she hung directly on him, opened her mouth and gently bit down, grinding her teeth lightly.

Wu Xuan's breathing became heavy for two seconds, and he felt a shiver spread from his neck to his whole body, even his scalp felt numb.

“Ah, Ah Shu…”

His arms were tense, and he looked down at Wen Shu.

Seeing her admiring her masterpiece, her rosy lips turned red and moist, and a wave of heat rose from her body.

"Wu Xuan, so beautiful..."

She smiled, lifting her eyelids, her lips opening and closing as if exuding a captivating fragrance, tempting one to bend down and capture it.

Wu Xuan licked his lips, trying to control his impulse, but those soft, fragrant lips suddenly leaned in and kissed him.

With a light touch, Wen Shu felt the pressure on her lips and withdrew her mischievous intentions. "Let's go home?"

Her eyes curved into a captivating smile as she loosened her grip on her arms, preparing to land back on the ground.

Seeing that she was doing it on purpose, Wu Xuan's hot breath almost seemed to ignite a fire.

He brushed the carving knife off the table with his arm, gripped the back of Wen Shu's neck tightly, and impatiently kissed her, pinning her against the table.

Their breaths mingled, hot and sticky.

A rough, large hand brushed across his back, its force so strong it seemed to want to pull Wen Shu into its embrace, yet it restrained itself from falling.

The whirlwind kiss came to an abrupt end.

Dark, golden eyes were so close, Wu Xuan slowly retreated, calming his heavy breathing.

But Wen Shu could feel his immense enthusiasm.

Realizing she had ignited a fire within herself, her gaze fell, her slender white hand pressing against the firm chest before her, "Wu Xuan..."

The moon hangs in the sky.

Wu Xuan's broad figure completely concealed Wen Shu in his arms.

He looked satisfied and walked steadily toward the residential area.

Recalling Wen Shu's out-of-control appearance with reddened eyes, I felt a dryness in my mouth. Thinking that there would be a next time, I couldn't help but ask.

"Ah Shu, are you satisfied?"

Wen Shu rubbed her wrists, and when she heard his hoarse voice, her cheeks flushed. She felt dizzy and buried herself in his arms, pretending to be a quail without moving.

She could have come back earlier, but Wu Xuan insisted on keeping her there...

He's so incredibly customer-centric.
