As she watched Yinge's departing figure, she subconsciously raised her hand and touched the face that had just been touched by him.

Her heart was filled with something warm, which warmed her limbs and bones.

It's like... besides her beastmen, she has another home?

A smile involuntarily crept onto her lips, and she rubbed against him a couple more times before slowly withdrawing her hand.

Suddenly, he was entrusted with an important task instead of being a salted fish.

Although she prefers to lie flat, ... for the sake of that "welcome home" greeting, she'll have to be serious.

"Zhuyou, starting today, you will be in charge of the security team captain's duties."

"No!"

Tu Li glared at her resentfully, "I wasn't the only one who threw stones at Chen Shuang just now!"

Pointing to one of the people beside him, he said, "He threw it away too!"

She then pointed to another person, "And him! Why, why am I the only one being punished!"

The person pointed at lowered their head but did not deny it.

Did I say I wouldn't punish them?

Xu Wan turned to Chen Shuang and said, "Hit back the way they hit you. After you're done, make them apologize to you."

After speaking, she glanced at the males present. "Any objections?"

"Priest, we are willing to accept the punishment!"

Once someone expressed their opinion, the others followed suit with nods.

Xu Wan thought to herself: Although the orcs do not have top-notch intelligence, most of them are willing to admit their mistakes, and she appreciates their honesty and straightforwardness.

"Tuli, do you see that? They're much braver than you."

The other party's complaints were noticeably less.

But you can still tell that he doesn't realize his mistake at all, and instead wants to drag more people down with him.

"Neither the rest of the security team..."

Xu Wan laughed angrily, "So you mean, if even one of them insisted on protecting the females, the rabbit spirits wouldn't be bullied?"

She glanced at Tu Zi, shook her head in disdain, and said, "What kind of pot goes with what kind of lid? You two really are a family."

She clicked her tongue as she recalled the other person's small group in the collection team.

It's true what they say, it's all fake friendship. When something happens, not a single person stands up for her.

Thinking about it, she suddenly felt a little sorry for Rabbit.

"Rabbit, don't worry."

She stepped forward and patted her on the shoulder, looking very caring.

"The other females who are with you won't be able to join the gathering team, so you'll be able to be together again. Aren't you happy?"

"you!"

The matter was nearing its end. She glanced at the crowd and said, "If you don't have anything else to do, you can go home now."

She has social anxiety, and she gets very nervous in front of so many people.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

When Xu Wan passed by Rabbit, she smiled brightly.

"No need to thank me too much, after all, there aren't many females as considerate as me."

This isn't being considerate at all; it's clearly cutting off her livelihood!

Tuli couldn't join the safety team, and she and the other females couldn't participate in the gathering either, so the food they got would only become less and less.

Moreover, because of her outburst, almost everyone in the village now knows about the bad things she and her beastly husband did.

From now on, it will be lucky if you don't get stones thrown at you in the tribe.

The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became. When she looked up and met Xu Wan's smiling eyes, her mind went blank, and something suddenly snapped.

Why?! Why can this wicked female become a priestess?

She's been driven to the edge of the tribe, why can't she just die peacefully!

"Xu Wan! I'll kill you!"

Rabbit screamed and was about to pounce on her. Females may be weak in attack, but that doesn't mean they are not.

Even a rabbit will bite when cornered.

Before Xu Wan could react, Tu Zi was flung aside by a cyan shadow.

Zhu You appeared in front of her at some point, shielding her tightly behind him.

"Mistress!"

Tu Li rushed to Tu Zi and carefully helped her up.

"Mistress, are you alright?"

"roll!"

Rabbit suddenly pushed him away and slapped him across the face.

"You useless thing, you piece of trash, I'm breaking off our contract!"

She staggered to her feet and kicked Tu Li hard again.

"Get out of here! Get as far away as you can!"

After saying that, she glanced at Xu Wan, and the smile on her lips sent chills down one's spine.

Before Xu Wan could speak, she turned and left.

Ha, Xu Wan, soon you will suffer more than I do!

Watching her retreating figure, Tuli's heart sank completely.

He looked at Xu Wan, who was protecting her beast husband behind her, and couldn't say a word.

In the past, when he heard that Xu Wan was not good to her males at all, he could still tell himself that.

At least compared to bad females, his female master doesn't hate him as much.

But now, the wicked female that everyone used to avoid is now protecting her beast husband and not allowing anyone to bully her.

And her beastly husband truly treated her as a mistress.

Even when she is in danger, he would rather risk being punished for harming other females than not protect his mistress.

He stood up and walked back, his back looking somewhat forlorn.

But he hadn't gone far when he turned back. "Priest, Zhuyou... he might be dying."

Xu Wan thought he was cursing, and she got so angry that she picked up a stone to hit him.

"Shut up!"

She wanted Chen Shuang to give the man a good beating, but when she turned her head, she met the two men's tightly furrowed brows.

Looking again at Zhu You's face, which had turned deathly pale at some point, she suddenly realized something.

She could hear her own voice trembling, each word quivering.

"What...what did he mean by those words?"

"Wanwan."

Fox Jiu placed his hand on her shoulder, and his usually nonchalant tone became serious.

"Zhuyou violated the rule set by the progenitor that females should not be harmed."

"so what?"

She hurriedly grabbed Hu Jiu's hand, each word feeling like it was being squeezed out of her throat, causing a sharp pain.

"What punishment is there? Zhuyou did this to protect me, he'll be fine, right?"

"Wanwan..."

Chen Shuang walked over, her tone no longer as coquettish as usual.

"As decreed by the progenitor, harming a female is punishable by death."

She subconsciously looked at the bond mark on Zhu You's arm; the rabbit was slowly disappearing, and the connection between them was being severed.

"No, no..."

Her mind went blank for a moment, and she instinctively rushed forward and hugged Zhu You.

"No, they're lying, right?"

Zhu You looked down at her eyes, which had turned red again, and wanted to raise her hand to wipe away her tears.

But his body felt as if it were being held firmly by a pair of invisible hands, making it difficult for him to even curl his fingers.

"Wanwan, you always seem to be crying after you see me."

He forced a smile. "But you probably won't shed any more tears from now on."

"What nonsense are you talking about!"

Xu Wan wiped away her tears hastily. "I'm not crying, Zhu You, I'm not crying... Don't leave me..."

"Wanwan..."

He could feel the life force within his body being gradually stripped away, and his vision was becoming increasingly blurred.

But he couldn't bear to part with her. He forced his eyes open, trying to take one more look at the little female in front of him.

"Wanwan, I'm sorry."

"No! You're not allowed to say sorry, no..."

Xu Wan hugged him tightly, "Zhu You, you liar! You said you'd always stay with me, that you'd find me if I got lost!"

Her tears fell more and more, and she cried uncontrollably.

"I won't allow it! I won't allow you to die! If you die..."

She paused for a moment, then said, "I'll find another snake-clan beast husband!"

Zhu You smiled, her voice so soft it was almost inaudible.

"Then I definitely need to find one who won't lie to you."

He looked at Hu Jiu behind him and said, "Wanwan, I'm a liar. Let Hu Jiu tell you the truth, and then... you won't miss me."

Consciousness gradually turned dark.

"Candlelight in the Dark!"
