The pain in my shoulder and back gradually became clearer after I regained consciousness.

Xu Wan frowned and tried to get up, but was pushed back down.

"Don't you want your arm anymore?"

An unfamiliar male voice fell on her head.

Her sense of vigilance made her instinctively raise her hand to slap the other person away, but the movement was so large that it seemed as if her wound was about to be torn open again.

"hiss……"

The man helped her up and leaned her against the stone wall, but stepped back just as she was about to see her own face clearly.

He sat in the shadows, his tone somewhat threatening.

"If your wound bleeds again and attracts those ferocious beasts, you're as good as dead."

"Who...who are you? Why did you save me?"

"cut."

The man clicked his tongue softly.

"If your blood hadn't dripped onto me, I wouldn't have been chased by those mindless beasts."

The blood of females has a deadly attraction for ferocious beasts.

Clearly, the other person was an unlucky guy who had been tricked by her.

Xu Wan twitched the corners of her mouth, suddenly feeling like laughing.

The man's gaze lingered on her face for a moment, then he suddenly asked, "You have a snake-clan beast husband, don't you?"

She looked up at him, her voice somewhat urgent.

"Have you seen him? Where is he?"

The man waved his hand, "If you ask me, falling from such a height, one might not even survive."

His gaze swept over her collarbone with a hint of amusement.

"I don't see you two have formed a bond. If you ask me, you could find someone else..."

Before he could finish speaking, the seemingly frail female grabbed his neck.

"I'm asking you, where is he!"

They were injured, and they clearly couldn't even use their hands properly, yet they still dared to threaten him?

He wanted to say something more teasing, but when he met her anxious eyes, he suddenly changed his mind.

"He knocked the beast aside, but he didn't catch you, and you fell from the sky."

The voice I heard before I fainted wasn't a hallucination, but Zhu You...

Xu Wan felt her heart being squeezed so tightly it hurt.

Exhausted, she released her grip on the other person's neck, forced back the tears welling in her eyes, and silently leaned back against the stone wall.

He'll be alright...

She closed her eyes, as if telling herself, "He said he would find me..."

A hint of interest flashed in the man's eyes.

The little female in front of me was different from those useless females who only knew how to cry and make a fuss.

"I can take you to your snake-clan beast mate, but..."

His gaze swept over her, "How about you break your bond with him and become my female?"

Xu Wan glanced at him as if he were an idiot, then closed her eyes again.

"……ill."

The man was taken aback, but then burst into laughter.

"Interesting, very interesting, little female, what's your name?"

Seeing that she didn't speak, he simply introduced himself.

"My name is Du Yu. Have you heard of Dark Night City? It's mine."

"Dark Night City?"

The little female in front of him lazily opened her eyelids and, amidst his expectant gaze, tugged at the corners of her lips.

"Never heard of it."

Du Yu's expression gradually froze. "Never heard of it? How could you not have heard of it? You..."

He seemed genuinely angry, so he leaned against the stone wall and refused to say a word to her.

Xu Wan was not as calm as she appeared.

City Lord Du Yu is a half-king beastman who later becomes the female lead's absolute combat power.

But how could someone like that appear near a rabbit tribe?

She glanced at the man in front of her out of the corner of her eye.

Her long black hair was half tied back, her eyebrows were high, and her pupils were extremely deep black, giving her a cold and aloof beauty.

"Oh, peeking at me?"

She looked away, but unfortunately, it was all ruined by her words.

"Go ahead and watch if you want. I don't usually let just anyone watch."

As he spoke, he moved a few more steps closer, as if to prove that what he said was not a lie.

Xu Wan, unable to bear it any longer, raised her hand and slapped him across the face. "Has anyone ever told you that you're annoying?"

"Yes." Du Yu rubbed his face, his tone carrying a hint of coldness.

"Those who said that, I've killed them all."

"..."

Is this a provocation? This is definitely a provocation!

She tilted her head to look at him. "What, you want to kill me?"

"Of course not." Wataru smiled.

"I told you, you're interesting, so I won't kill you for now."

Too lazy to waste any more words with him, Xu Wan got straight to the point.

"Since you have a way to lead me to the Beast Husband, you should also have a way to avoid those ferocious beasts."

"What? You want to be my female?"

After speaking, he glanced at her wound, his tone becoming more serious.

"I advise you not to move around too much until you're healed. Those guys have a very keen sense of smell."

"What? Are you afraid I'll die?"

Wataru didn't answer; he himself didn't know why he had said those things to her.

He didn't even know her name, so how could he be worried about her safety?

Thinking this, he stood up, transformed into his beast form, and flew away.

That's right, this is him, just a female. What does his life or death have to do with him?

It took Xu Wan quite a while after he left to slowly realize that he had abandoned her.

"Heh..." She laughed angrily, and took out spiritual spring water from her spatial storage to apply medicine to herself.

"That capricious guy, no wonder he didn't end up in the heroine's harem."

When the spring water dripped onto the skin, the wound healed quickly, but the pain did not lessen at all.

Xu Wan leaned against the stone wall, in so much pain that she dared not breathe properly.

"Master, how many points and health points do I have left?"

[Host, you have 5550 points remaining and 118 hours of health remaining.]

"One hundred and eighteen?"

The wound on one side of her shoulder had healed, and she endured the pain as she applied the spiritual spring water to the other wound as well.

She gritted her teeth and endured the pain, her mind racing.

Only 118 hours left.

In other words, she has to find a way to escape from here and find Zhuyou within five days.

"If only I had saved up more health points..." This wouldn't have led to this life-or-death race.

[Host, the person who just spoke, Du Yu... was also one of your targets.]

Xu Wan felt she should exchange her old almanac for one from the mall and look at it before going out in the future.

She pressed her temples. "So why didn't you say so earlier?"

The system's response betrayed a hint of unease.

[Because... because my detection function hasn't been fully upgraded yet...]

"So, you just made me lose a power bank for nothing?"

She took a deep breath and tried to keep smiling.

"Master, doesn't this mistake look like five high-level treasure chests?"

Five high-level treasure chests have been added to your inventory as compensation...

"open!"

There is absolutely no obligation to preserve something this good!

As the sky grew darker, Xu Wan peeked out.

"Tongzi, these bird-like ferocious beasts shouldn't include owls or anything like that, right?"

Having received a definitive answer from the system, she no longer hesitated.

After putting on night vision goggles, she took out a crossbow from her storage space and tentatively walked outside.

The ferocious beasts circling in the sky outside were gone, but she couldn't let her guard down.

[Host, there are two ferocious bird-like beasts thirty meters ahead; they are likely asleep.]

Xu Wan nodded, gripped the crossbow in her hand tightly, and tried to keep her steps as light as possible.

These ferocious beasts must be fighting as a group; she needs to find an opportunity to kill these two beasts.

Otherwise... she'll be the one getting ganged up on.

A crisp "snap" sounded particularly clear in the open woodland.

She stood frozen in place, looked up at the two ferocious beasts that had been startled awake and were staring straight at her, and waved to them.

"Hey, the sun is so nice..."
