CHAPTER 21: CHAPTER 21: WU XUAN’S ECCENTRIC TASTE

Wu Ya sighed and sat by the bed, complaining somewhat frustratedly, "You know, the females’ healing abilities are actually very..."

Useless.

Although it’s a fact, she too has a healing ability, and admitting this point felt a bit harsh.

So she skipped over it and continued, "Low-level females can only heal skin injuries, and it’s only at Eighth Rank and above that they can slightly heal minor fractures, otherwise how could there be so many disabled beasts?"

Wu Xuan knew this well; he often participated in hunts, and the serious injuries of males could only rely on self-healing ability.

High-level males have strong self-healing powers, which allows them to survive by chance, but those low-level males would either be left disabled or die from internal damage.

He really knew this, but he couldn’t bear to see the female’s disappointed look...

In stark contrast to his low spirits, Wen Shu’s long lashes trembled after listening to Wu Ya, and a glimmer appeared in her eyes.

She keenly caught a phrase: females can only heal skin injuries.

She pushed against Wu Xuan’s chest and struggled out of his overly tight embrace, asking uncertainly, "No offense, but is it because my leg’s bone is shattered and the tendons are broken that I can’t feel anything?"

She enunciated clearly, afraid of misjudging the situation.

Wu Ya heard she meant no harm and generously let it slide, but the female’s clueless look made her somewhat puzzled, "Yes, didn’t you know?"

Wen Shu slowly released her tightly clenched hands, and her heart, which had been hanging, finally settled back down.

Great, at least she could still heal herself, everything was still undetermined.

She felt lingering relief, but that fear-inducing helplessness was deeply rooted in her heart.

However, she hadn’t thought the females’ healing abilities were so... weak.

She steadied herself before answering Wu Ya’s question, "My spiritual power is only Second Order, I haven’t really treated the Beastmen... I’m not very familiar with these things."

She tried to gloss over the original owner’s ridiculous actions.

Upon hearing her words, Wu Ya was shocked after a moment’s reaction, "What?!"

What kind of female wouldn’t treat the tribal beasts?

Moreover, why did this behavior seem somewhat familiar?

She secretly glanced at Wu Xuan, seeing he hadn’t taken his eyes off the female’s face, directly asking, "Which tribe are you from?"

Wen Shu hesitated, unsure if the original owner’s reputation had spread to the Snow Leopard Tribe, and worried if she would be driven out if she revealed it.

Seeing her lowering her eyes, Wu Xuan thought she had fallen into despair again and answered for her, "The female is from the Fox Beast Tribe."

He spoke abruptly, leaving Wen Shu no time to stop him.

Upon hearing this answer, Wu Ya’s eyes widened, could it be that female she’s thinking of!

No, even though her brother has a peculiar taste, it wouldn’t be to that extent!

She silently consoled herself, but the next second Wu Xuan said, "Her name is Wen Shu. Did you bring a message board? I haven’t told my parents about this yet..."

Wu Ya’s mind went blank, completely missing what he said next, it really was Wen Shu!

She had heard this name more than once; in the past few days among the females, Wen Shu was simply the object of everyone’s complaints.

The things she did were atrocious!

Who would maliciously abuse a Beast Husband and disfigure him beyond recognition? Who would force a male to mate, then bully him daily after failing, driving him to another tribe...

Wu Ya stood up abruptly, pointing incredulously at Wen Shu, "You’re that vicious female!"

Regarding Wu Ya’s action, Wen Shu remained very calm, this was an anticipated scenario.

Instead, Wu Xuan was the one unhappy, what do you mean by vicious female?

No matter what misunderstandings there were, one shouldn’t insult a female.

He shielded Wen Shu in his arms and looked at Wu Ya displeased, "What’s wrong with Wen Shu, the female? You’re being too rude!"

Wu Ya was simply incredulous, Wu Xuan really didn’t know about Wen Shu’s deeds?

But then again, it’s typical of him; he never took interest in matters concerning females.

She couldn’t just watch Wu Xuan go astray!

Wu Ya glanced at the two sticking close together, lowered her voice, and asked, "Wu Xuan, you haven’t mated with her yet, have you?"

Wu Xuan’s body stiffened, his cheeks instantly flushed red, "You, the female is still here! What are you talking about!"

He stuttered, almost biting his tongue, looking down meeting Wen Shu’s gaze, hurriedly explained, "I never intended... no, it’s not that I never intended, I..."

His flustered appearance made Wen Shu feel a bit complicated.

She could see that Wu Xuan really liked her.

Wen Shu curved a faint smile, "I know."

After calming Wu Xuan, she politely thanked Wu Ya, "Thank you, Wu Ya, for helping me with my injury today. We won’t bother you anymore."

Different from her earlier enthusiasm, her attitude became somewhat distant.

In Wen Shu’s view, a person’s goodness or badness cannot be defined solely by rumors, but not everyone thinks the same way.

Since Wu Ya was unwelcoming, staying further would make everyone unhappy.

Wen Shu hooked her arm around Wu Xuan’s neck and requested, "Please take me back."

The female’s beautiful face magnified before his eyes, Wu Xuan’s breath hitched, his mind went dizzy, and he instinctively cradled the soft body of the female, hearing himself reply, "Alright."

Seeing Wu Xuan’s dazed state, Wu Ya felt the sky was falling. No matter what she said now, Wu Xuan probably wouldn’t listen.

Better to wait until Wu Xuan returns to expose the female’s true nature!

Wu Ya crossed her arms and threw a cold glance at Wen Shu bitterly, "If you truly thank me, stay away from my brother! A vile female like you isn’t worthy of Wu Xuan!"

Her words were sharp and harsh, making Wu Xuan’s face darken.

Seeing he wanted to defend her, Wen Shu quickly pressed down on the tense hand at her waist, smiling, "Let’s go quickly, I’m a bit hungry, want to go back and eat fish."

Wu Xuan understood that the female didn’t want him to clash with Wu Ya and affect their relationship.

His heart warmed, feeling even angrier; the female was so nice, why did Wu Ya harbor such maliciousness towards her?

But they could address this issue later, he didn’t want to make things difficult for the female.

He gave Wu Ya a warning look, picked up the propped-up fish against the wall, and hastily left with Wen Shu in his arms.

The sky was darkening, and households in the tribe had lit fires, with smoke drifting towards the sky, blending with the surging dark clouds.

It seemed like it was going to rain again.

Wu Xuan walked quickly, his face apologetic, "I’m sorry, Wen Shu, there must be some misunderstanding in between, I’ll have Wu Ya apologize to you."

Wen Shu released the arm she had wrapped around Wu Xuan and shook her head, "No need, actually it’s my problem, you..."

She didn’t want these siblings to have conflicts because of her.

Moreover, Wu Ya helped her, and it was only after hearing who she was that she suddenly turned hostile.

She could understand; if Wu Xuan learned of her deeds, he would probably avoid her too.

"My reputation isn’t great, Wu Ya’s reaction is understandable."

Stretching her arms, she continued, "However, thanks for today..."

Halfway through her words, a commotion of punches and kicks erupted not far away.
