After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 184 Dissolving the Contract?

The wind howled past my ears, and fine snowflakes brushed against my cheeks, causing a sharp, cutting pain.

Wen Shu tore the clothes from her sleeves and dropped them silently, but the male above her was completely unaware.

Even after arriving at the small, openwork temple in the middle of Bain City, he still showed it off to his welcoming brothers.

“Brought them, effortlessly,” he said, bouncing the female in his arms. “I don’t know who said those three males were not simple, but tsk, they were nothing more than a flick of a finger.”

The man spoke casually, but Wen Shu could sense that he was overexerting his powers, his arms trembling the entire way.

"Nan, have you arrived yet?"

The two walked into the temple, and another cold voice responded indifferently: "The last mission failed and he was almost exposed. Last night he acted on his own again. My uncle thinks there is something wrong with him and is correcting his memory."

Wen Shu's jaw tightened, and then the male above her spoke, "If you ask me, what's the point of keeping him around? We always have to clean up his messes..."

"He has ten ranks."

"So what? His memory has been erased, how could he possibly use it? Oh..." The voice paused for a few seconds, then sneered, "He can use it when he needs to save his own life!"

The other male beside him, too lazy to respond to his sarcastic remarks, walked into the temple on his own.

"Ah."

A cold, ambiguous laugh sounded from above. Then, the male settled Wen Shu in a soft chair and withdrew.

Wen Shu pricked up his ears, alert to the sounds around him, pondering how to find Nan. If he was too late, his memory might be erased again...

Before she could move, a light footstep stopped beside her, the cushion at her waist collapsed, and her palm was gently grasped.

A warm, healing supernatural power slowly seeped in.

Wen Shu suppressed the stiffness in her body and opened her eyes.

A middle-aged female with black hair and red lips, dressed in a long dress, blinked her brown eyes, her lips curving slightly, and said in a gentle voice, "Wen Shu, you're awake?"

She bears a resemblance to Nan, especially in their eyes and brows, which are both gentle and aloof.

"Who are you?" Wen Shu pursed her lips and scanned her surroundings.

Inside the temple, she lay in the center of a row of soft chairs, and in front of her, under a huge glass lamp, was a high platform holding purple crystals.

“Don’t be afraid, I am Nan’s mother, Lana,” the middle-aged female patted Wen Shu’s hand, her brow furrowed slightly, her eyes full of guilt, and said, “Bringing you here in this way is a bit rude, but we had no other choice…”

Wen Shu withdrew her gaze, awaiting the continuation.

Seeing the puzzled look on her face, Lana sighed and rubbed her temples. "Nan has committed a crime, implicating his entire family. Now the Queen's men are hunting him down!"

She earnestly advised, "We called you here today because we wanted you to talk to Nan Jieqi. If his mistake implicates you, we would feel really bad."

Lana spoke with such sincerity that her eyes welled up with tears.

Wen Shu played along, and when she stopped crying, she covered her mouth in surprise, "I was worried about this kind of thing when I saw Nan last time!"

She hesitated for two seconds, looking guilty, and lowered her eyes, saying worriedly, "If that's the case, I have other beast husbands to consider. What if I'm mistaken for an accomplice..."

Wen Shu bit her lip, her eyes resolute, and said, "Thank you for thinking of me. Lana, Nan, let's break the contract now. If we leave Bain City in a few days, we won't have another chance!"

Seeing that she had agreed, Lana wiped her eyes with the back of her hand, a smile flashing in her eyes. She had inquired about Nanhe, this female.

As expected, they didn't have any feelings for each other, and today's matter was the smoothest they'd had in recent days.

The eldest brother hasn't come out yet, so we don't know if Nan's memory has been damaged.

Lana narrowed her eyes, somewhat anxiously saying, "Nan, didn't I tell him to come at this time?"

She looked at Wen Shu with difficulty, "Otherwise, you can unilaterally terminate the contract first, and when Nan arrives, we can have him drip blood on it."

"Okay."

Seeing that she seemed to be waiting for something, Wen Shu felt a sense of urgency and immediately got up and walked onto the platform, her gaze sweeping towards the only passage on the side. It was pitch black there, without a single spark of light, and looking up, it seemed like a bottomless abyss.

Can't wait any longer.

Lana handed him a bone knife and urged, "Let's get started. Your beastmen must be getting impatient. I'll send someone to take you back as soon as possible."

Wen Shu turned to look at her, her fingertips touching the hilt of the knife, but she did not take it. Instead, she grabbed Lana and used her mind control.

"Take me to Nan."

Lana was caught off guard and taken into the passage. However, just as Wen Shu heard Nan's voice, two tall figures walked out one after the other.

Wen Shu looked at them warily and found that they were two unfamiliar faces. Their eyes were empty, and they looked like they were deeply under mental control.

Did Nan make it?
She walked quickly forward, the light in the passage becoming increasingly dim. At the end of the round hall, she could see two figures facing each other.

The man in the south's long robe was soaked in blood. He stared fiercely at the male opposite him. The throbbing veins on his forehead and his dark eyes were enough to prove that they were fighting in the spiritual realm!
But at this moment, he is clearly at a disadvantage.

The middle-aged man opposite him was dressed neatly, his face showing no sign of pain, only his fists were clenched tightly, and a contemptuous smile was curled at the corner of his lips.

"puff-"

As soon as Wen Shu approached, Nan suddenly clutched his temple, and traces of blood trickled from his mouth.

Her heart tightened, and she picked up the bone knife and held it against Lana's neck. "Stop! Lana is in my hands!"

Her crisp rebuke instantly broke the tense atmosphere in the hall.

The two stopped at the same time. Nan shook his head and, through the double vision, saw that it was Wen Shu. He was stunned for a moment.

Is this an illusion?
A look of confusion crossed his eyes until he heard her voice clearly, "Nan, come here!"

Nan's breath quickened for two seconds, his gaze falling on Wen Shu's concerned face. A sudden surge of heat rushed into his heart, almost burning him.

She came to save him? She's got a death wish!

Beside Nan, the tall, middle-aged man named Noel, with graying temples, also raised an eyebrow and looked at Wen Shu.

Noticing his probing gaze, Nan's heart pounded. Controlling her impulse, she feigned anger and said, "What are you doing here! Get away from me, I don't want to see you!"

Wen Shu certainly understood what he was afraid of.

The male in front of her, simply by gazing at her casually, exuded a chilling sense of oppression.

Even if he disregards family ties, he and Lana still share common interests, so he wouldn't just let his accomplice die, would he?

Wen Shu straightened his back, and with a slight force, he cut Lana's neck with the bone knife, threatening in a deep voice, "If you don't want her to die, give Nan's memories back to him and let him leave!"

However, this time, she miscalculated.

Noel paused for a few seconds, then suddenly chuckled, seemingly mocking her naiveté.

“It’s a pity,” he shook his head with some regret, “my dear sister, she will not be able to witness the glory of the Paris family.”

As he spoke, Noel glanced at Nan, "Your mistress is quite loyal and righteous. Once you break off the contract, I'll make sure she dies quickly."

His tone was casual, yet it subtly revealed his arrogant and self-centered nature.

Wen Shu raised an eyebrow; this kind of person was actually easier to deal with.

She had fought against Nan before. This group of mental beastmen relied on their powerful mental strength but neglected their physical strength, leaving them vulnerable at every turn.

Moreover, he was so confident.

The next chapter will probably be tomorrow morning.
