After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 178 Being followed

Wu Xuan burst through the door and glanced out the window.

In the darkness, several figures in black slipped away from the guards and were about to disappear into the crisscrossing alleys.

He scooped up Wen Shu in his arms and handed her to Luo Fei, who was following closely behind, and solemnly instructed, "I'll go check on her and take good care of A-Shu."

After saying that, he bent down to transform into his beast form, but Wen Shu quickly grabbed his wrist and lowered her voice to stop him, "Wu Xuan, don't chase after him, that's Nan."

Wu Xuan paused, turned to look at Wen Shu, and her overly tense nerves calmed down a bit.

They found that apart from her swollen lips, she had no injuries on her body, and her nightgown was perfectly concealed.

"South?"

He recalled the angry rebuke he had just heard; it did indeed sound like Nan's voice, but what did he mean by those words?
Wen Shu tightened her grip slightly. "He has amnesia. The people who were supposed to meet him arrived too quickly; I didn't have time to ask them what happened..."

She pursed her lips, the image of Nan's reluctant eyes still lingering in her mind before he left.

What did the person who was supposed to meet Nan see? Nan seemed wary of them... Could he be in danger?

Seeing her pale face filled with worry, Wu Xuan gently pressed the back of her hand. "Amnesia? Is Nan injured in the brain? But he has advanced to the tenth level, who could possibly hurt him..."

Wen Shu shook her head. "No, there are no signs of brain injury. I suspect that a fellow mental-type orc erased his memory."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan raised his eyebrows in surprise, "Psychic abilities? Aren't they from the same family? How could they hurt him?"

Wen Shu hadn't heard this information before. She frowned slightly and looked directly at him. "The same family?"

"Yes, in the entire Arundia, only the male members of the Paris family possess psychic abilities."

The three returned to the bedroom. Wu Xuan pulled the blanket up to cover Wen Shu and said thoughtfully, "The orcs who mentally attacked me and Musil in Asen City should all know Nan."

"They didn't make another move, and I thought Nan had reached an agreement with them. I never expected it to turn out like this..."

His lips were pressed into a straight line, and he felt a slight regret for his oversight.

Wen Shu, having figured out the whole story, looked somewhat stunned.

Because of Nan's personality and his disfigured face, she was always curious about his childhood experiences...

At that moment, she suddenly understood something.

Was everything that Nan experienced done by his "family"?
Wen Shu couldn't be completely certain, but the truth was almost certainly true; otherwise, why would they have altered Nan's memories?

Thinking of this, she clenched the corner of the blanket in her palm, looked up at the window, and after a long while, she suppressed her worry and looked away.

"After the celebration tomorrow, I want to go and find Nan first."

Wu Xuan understood her feelings and held her hand tightly. "I'll stay with you."

He made his stance clear, and Luo Fei, who had just figured out the situation, pursed his lips and reluctantly sat down on the edge of the bed.

Looking up at Wen Shu, he saw that her face was pale and her cold eyes were veiled with a thin mist.

His heart softened, and he covered her cold cheek with his hand. "Count me in."

Two tall figures stood close to Wen Shu's side, their heat dispelling all the chill around him.

Her eyes crinkled into a smile as she took in their concern. She gently pulled their arms around each of them and kissed their cheeks. "Thank you."

After saying that, under their intense gazes, he pulled the blanket over his head and mumbled, "Goodnight."

She said she was going to sleep, but Wen Shu lay in bed without feeling sleepy at all. Her mind was filled with thoughts of tomorrow's celebration and Nan's situation.

Thinking back, I couldn't help but worry about Musil again.

So, in the early hours of the next day, she suffered from severe insomnia, her temples throbbed, and she felt dizzy.

Although the healing effect was slightly relieved, I was still so sleepy that I kept yawning. I climbed onto the wolf's back and lay down on the males' laps.

"I'm going to sleep a little longer. Wake me up when we get there."

The group left Bain City with the bustling crowd and headed towards the eastern side of the dense forest, bathed in the golden light of the rising sun.

I don't know how long I slept, but the rustling of leaves stopped, and the blinding sunlight shone through the gauze curtains, casting a warm glow on my face. "Ah Shu, we're almost there. We have to walk in."

A low, hoarse call came from above.

Wen Shu shielded her forehead with her arm, slowly propped herself up, and lifted the gauze curtain to reveal a vast, dense forest of giant trees.

What's unusual is that the trees in this dense forest appear to be artificially planted, forming huge circles that stretch out in an endless inner circle.

In the area where they were, the giant trees had been uprooted, leaving only a ring of fragrant, sacred flowers.

“Wen Shu, we are about to enter the sacred land.”

Prince Yuna's handsome face appeared below.

"coming."

As soon as Wen Shu jumped off the wolf's back and her feet touched the ground, a hand with distinct knuckles stuffed a leather bag into her hand.

Luo Fei, who was right behind her, reacted quickly, blocking Yuna's arm and asking in a cold voice, "What are you doing?"

Wen Shu was also slightly surprised by this sudden action. She glanced down at the animal skin bag and wanted to hand it back to Yuna.

But the taciturn prince noticed her gaze, his ears turning red as he took several steps back. “You must not have eaten anything, it’s just food… Hurry up and follow us, Mother is still waiting for us.”

When his eyes met Wen Shu's, his pupils dilated slightly. He walked away calmly, his sleeve tugging at his hair, but he didn't show it.

"Do you... want to eat?"
Wen Shu picked up the animal skin bag, but before she could finish asking her question, Luo Fei took out a round bag from his pocket, shoved it into her hand, and took the bag Yuna had given her.

"We brought our own."

After being subtly glared at by him, Wen Shu swallowed back the words she was about to say, put the animal skin bag into her bosom, and hooked her arm around Luo Fei's. "Let's go, I want to see what the divine tree looks like."

As the crowd entered the holy site, they were stopped at the outermost edge by the holy site's silver-armored guards not far away.

And indeed, just as Luo Fei said, there was almost nothing to see here.

Wen Shu stood on the outermost edge, carried on Wu Xuan's shoulder, and could only see the tree canopy.

To see Yining, one will likely have to wait until the blessing ceremony is over and the high priests come to bless the beastmen present.

Thinking this, Wen Shu found a comfortable seat to wait, but little did she know that she would wait until the sun went down.

Feeling utterly bored, she got up and patted her numb bottom. "I'm going to take a walk around the neighborhood."

Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan, who was eating, stammered a couple of times, then got up to follow.

Wen Shu quickly pressed him down and pointed to the dense forest on the right, "Didn't Luo Fei go over there to collect firewood? Come find us after you finish eating."

Following Luo Fei's trail, Wen Shu entered the dense forest, feeling utterly bored. He pondered that with so many orcs around today, it wasn't impossible for them to wait until tomorrow.

So after walking only a few steps, he was carrying a bunch of tree branches in his arms to ward off the increasingly cold weather.

The scent of tilapia was getting closer. Wen Shu quickened her pace and suddenly heard a "crack" sound as a branch snapped.

She thought she had stepped on something, and glanced at her feet, only to feel a chill run down her spine.

Because the holy site was heavily guarded, my relaxed senses were instantly activated, and I indeed detected footsteps behind me.

Disorderly yet orderly, it sounds like three or four males.

Wen Shu frowned slightly. Since entering the Isa Empire, she believed she hadn't offended anyone...

In a flash, a thought crossed her mind, and in that instant, the males behind her suddenly quickened their pace.

The silence was pierced by the sharp sound of the wind, and Wen Shu tensed up, preparing for the chaotic battle.

Unexpectedly, as she passed the giant tree, a strong, thick, tail-like creature skillfully wrapped around her waist.

With a strong pull, he quickly dragged her up to the tree.
