After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 194 Settlement
When deciding on the city to settle in, Wen Shu carefully considered various factors, marked and drew on the map, and pondered for a long time before finally choosing a small coastal town.

It was far from Arendia, and diagonally opposite the capital of the Isa Empire.

No need to worry about accidentally running into an old acquaintance when going out one day, life will be much more peaceful.

After doing all this, she was so sleepy that she could barely keep her eyes open. Listening to the males' dreams for the future, she drifted off to sleep.

Two days passed in a flash, and the weather gradually warmed up. After saying goodbye to Bai Qiao, they set off for Yudong City.

In the dense forest, the giant corpse beast and the strange beasts have returned to normal, and there is no need to worry about encountering danger again. The males have all transformed into beast forms and are moving through the forest.

After traveling for three days with frequent stops, they approached the coast. More and more orcs were traveling through the dense forest, and the black panther's pace gradually slowed down.

Wen Shu leaned against Nan's chest, took the food from Luo Fei's hand, lowered her eyes and took a bite. Before she could swallow, the beastmen in front of her suddenly turned back.

The black panther dodged to the base of a tree, while Luo Fei jumped back to the ground and blocked an orc's path. "What's going on up ahead?"

Wen Shu thought there was danger, but the orc did not look scared. Instead, he seemed to be... somewhat pleased?
"Don't you know?" The orc, panting, leaned against a tree trunk and said excitedly, "The leader of Blackthorn Valley released all the females a while ago and wanted to disband the valley, but his men rebelled!"

Luo Fei's face immediately darkened; he shouldn't have asked.

Seeing his expression, the orc hurriedly explained, "This has been going on for over half a month, and the whole coast is still in turmoil."

"Don't worry, that leader is ruthless and decisive. To eliminate any future troubles, he has almost completely wiped out those heinous orcs!"

The orc exclaimed sincerely, his tone even carrying a hint of admiration, "It's just a small group up ahead; they won't harm innocent orcs..."

"We understand, thank you!" Luo Fei's face darkened, and he quickly waved his hand to stop him. He turned around and saw Wen Shu staring blankly, and a sense of crisis rose in his heart.

This Lach... must not be allowed to appear in front of Wen Shu.

Wen Shu was indeed somewhat surprised that Lach had left without saying goodbye; it turned out he had gone to deal with matters in Blackthorn Valley.

Also.

She forced him to sign a contract; given the cruelty of his men, he had no choice but to do so if he wanted to live.

The fighting continued into the night.

They rested for a night before setting off again.

Half a day later, as the black panther turned from the dense forest onto the wide road, a cool sea breeze slowly brushed against their cheeks.

The drowsy Wen Shu immediately woke up.

On both sides of the avenue, there were two rows of giant broad-leaved trees.

A huge shadow loomed overhead, with only a few rays of bright light slipping through the gaps in the branches and leaves, gently brushing against the side of the face, giving one a feeling of summer's warmth.

At the far end, a city with walls carved with waves and sacred tree patterns stands tall beside a straight coastline, bathed in the golden sunlight.

A look of amazement flashed in Wen Shu's eyes; she hadn't expected this city to be so beautiful.

Upon entering the city, she was filled with satisfaction as she took in the clean and wide streets. She couldn't wait to rush to the residential area and buy a place to live.

Meanwhile, they moved into Yudong City.

Lach and Lanzer, who came to deal with the remaining fugitives, passed through the woods where they had stopped.

The familiar scent was so faint it was almost undetectable, but Rah's movements as he wiped away the bloodstains abruptly stopped.

A glint of intense aggression flashed in his deep blue eyes as he turned his head toward the direction where the scent had vanished, a smirk playing on his lips. "Yu Dongcheng..."

……

A month later, things were calm.

Wen Shu, dressed in a loose-fitting long dress, was carrying a watering can and watering the newly planted "rose" seedlings.

As her due date approached, her belly was already quite large, but she remained relaxed and showed no awareness of her impending motherhood.

On the contrary, the males were extremely nervous.

Just like now, Nan stayed close to her, his arms loosely around her sides, afraid that something might go wrong.

"Ah Shu, the sun is too strong now, let's go back inside and let Luo Fei plant it himself..."

Luo Fei, who was squatting on the ground, buried the last seedling. When Wen Shu approached, he stood up with ill intent and smeared soil on her fair cheek.

Just as Wen Shu was about to refuse Nan, she was caught off guard and had her face brushed with water. She shoved the water bottle into Nan's arms and grabbed Luo Fei, who was trying to dodge, saying, "Aren't you being ridiculous...?"

Seeing that she was angry, Luo Fei looked smug and hugged her with a smile, raising an eyebrow and saying, "I'm so bored, so how about I sleep with you tonight?" He led Wen Shu into the house, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "I'll take you to the beach tonight."

Upon hearing this, Wen Shu's eyes lit up.

God knows, she was cooped up at home for seven whole days, she was practically growing mold from being so covered up!
But they kept a close eye on her, and apart from Luo Fei, none of them were willing to go out with her.

Wen Shu pursed her lips, grasped Luo Fei's sticky hand, and was about to nod when Wu Xuan hurriedly ran out.

Upon seeing him, Wen Shu froze for a moment, then immediately let go and shut her mouth.

Wu Xuan has been extremely worried about her these past few days.

Of the males, Wu Xuan was the strictest with her.

As her belly grew bigger, Wu Xuan took care of all her needs, from food and clothing to shelter and transportation, and his eyes were glued to her every day, for fear that something might happen.

Wen Shu was getting a headache from being controlled, but she understood that Wu Xuan was just worried about her.

Wu Xuan, still wearing an apron, took a few steps to support her, looked her up and down several times, and then breathed a sigh of relief before leading her into the house.

"It's fine to just stroll around the backyard, why did it turn into a commotion?"

He glanced disapprovingly at Luo Fei, who crossed his arms and entered the house, equally disapproving of his attitude. "Wu Xuan, A Shu is bored at home. You're being too anxious."

"Also," Luo Fei followed them and sat down next to Wen Shu, "I'll sleep with A-Shu tonight, and she's already agreed!"

Upon hearing what he said, Wen Shu's heart skipped a beat.

She looked up at Wu Xuan, and sure enough, his golden eyes were flashing as he looked at her with a serious and worried expression. "A-Shu, you agreed?"

"No no!"

Wen Shu grabbed his hand and guiltily changed the subject, "You've made so much delicious food, let's eat, I'm starving."

After washing their hands, the four of them sat around the dining table, chatting away, creating a rare and harmonious atmosphere.

Not long after, Wen Shu ate half her fill and started thinking about going out for a stroll tonight. Her random glances met those of Mu Xier, who had just entered the room.

Dressed in a magnificent black lord's robe, he held a wooden box in his long, slender fingers as he discussed recent events in the city with Yining.

Noticing Wen Shu's gaze, he turned to look at her, his cold and stern eyes softening with a gentle tenderness, like the melting of first snow. "Yi Ning and I made gifts for everyone."

After arriving in Yudong City, with Yining's help, Musil created two teleportation crystals, which allowed him to manage Nayong City from a distance of thousands of kilometers.

After that, he and Yining devoted themselves to it, trying to develop crystals for more different uses.

As they approached, Wen Shu lowered her gaze and was about to ask a question when she noticed that Yining was also holding an exquisite wooden box under her fluttering white sleeves.

She looked at the two of them curiously, "What is it?"

Musil didn't keep anyone in suspense. With a light flick of his pale fingertips, the black wooden box carved with snake totems was gently opened.

On the luxurious black velvet fabric, six emerald green, shimmering gemstone cufflinks lay quietly.

“This is a communication crystal,” he said, picking up the middle gemstone, which was inlaid with a layer of silver diamonds, and placing it in Wen Shu’s palm. “This one is the mother stone, and the others are the daughter stones. After the blood oath is performed, we can use this to communicate.”

"So magical?"

Wen Shu picked up the sound transmission crystal, examined it closely for a few moments, pricked her fingertip, dripped a drop of blood into it, and experimented. She then smiled with delight, "You guys are amazing!"

After praising this one, she hadn't forgotten about the other box, but Yining kept it hidden in her sleeve, seemingly with no intention of taking it out.

It might not be a gift?

But she was still curious: what had Yining done so mysteriously?
Wen Shu glanced at it secretly, and felt incredibly anxious.

Seeing her like this, Yi Ning's indifferent eyes softened with a smile. As his white robes fluttered, he raised his hand and touched the top of her soft hair. "A-Shu, can I sleep with you tonight?"

He knelt down, placed the wooden box on Wen Shu's lap, gently covered it with his well-defined knuckles, and looked up at her. "This was prepared just for you..."

I originally intended to write these as side stories...

I think it would be more appropriate to include it in the main text.

Ps:

I looked into other authors and found out when they ended their works.

Let's include it in the main story then, and we'll see how it goes in the side stories~
