CHAPTER 33: CHAPTER 33: UNITED BEASTMEN

The female’s decisive refusal took Ku Jia by surprise, but he did not intend to give up.

The leader’s injury is indeed strange. Since suddenly falling unconscious yesterday morning, a whole day has already passed! Moreover, the leader’s position has just stabilized not long ago, and there are still many dissenters that have not been eliminated. If those elders who are eyeing them discover this, their group will likely be in grave danger.

Ku Jia straightened his back, a hint of fierceness flashing across his chubby cheeks. He gestured to his subordinates with a broad smile, "Wen Shu, don’t be in a hurry to refuse just yet."

The males from Beast City came over, unwrapping all the bundles and placing them in front of Wen Shu. Ku Jia rubbed his hands as he approached and took out a necklace made of deep blue gemstones, enticingly saying, "This is a Blue Moonstone, a specialty of the Northern Land. Only one string has been made in three years. If you’re willing to help, we have many more such ornaments..."

As he spoke, he shook his hand, and the exquisite necklace scattered and swayed. The deep blue gemstones connected end to end, refracting a flowing brilliance under the sunlight.

The tribal Beastmen had never seen such beautiful ornaments, and for a moment, they were all captivated. The females’ eyes glimmered with the desire to possess them, while the males thought that using such a beautiful necklace to court a beloved female would certainly not be refused!

Seeing the tribal Beastmen’s shocked expressions, a hint of disdain flashed in Ku Jia’s eyes. A bunch of country bumpkins who haven’t seen the world.

"Wen Shu, would you reconsider?" Ku Jia was confident that no female could resist such temptation.

However, Wen Shu only glanced at it briefly, staying unmoved.

In her past life, she had seen many jewels. To obtain her help, many people sent her such beautiful and luxurious ornaments. Initially intrigued, she grew numb after seeing them too often.

As for the one before her, though bright and unique, it was only average compared to her own collection.

Wen Shu shook her head, smiling as she declined, "It’s not about the reward. It’s just that I’m too drained right now. If you really want me to help, why not come back in a couple of days?"

She quickly calculated in her mind that Bai Qiao’s fiancé and parents were already searching for them everywhere. As soon as the team returned to the tribe, they would appear.

At that time, the main team would be busy with a dramatic showdown and would soon leave together, leaving no time to seek her treatment.

However...

She glanced at Lucius’s position from the corner of her eye. The male’s injury was peculiar; originally, in this escape plot, he should have been getting closer with the female lead, and there was no injury in this scene.

Being refused, Ku Jia’s smile on his face was hard to maintain. How come the female eyes held no trace of amazement? This was the most popular accessory among females in Beast City in recent years!

The tribal Beastmen also looked at her incredulously. Tina couldn’t contain herself, volunteered, "I’m also a part of the Healing System, and my rank is higher than hers. If your leader needs treatment, you can come to me."

She stared straight at the necklace, her intentions clear.

Wen Shu glanced at Tina. The female had a quiet and timid nature but was now full of excitement. Greed truly is a harmful thing...

However, Ku Jia paid no heed to Tina. The dense forest was dangerous, and this group of Fox Beasts was bound to leave soon. With the elders having many spies, once back in the tribe, their death date wouldn’t be far.

Today, the female must heal the leader!

Ku Jia glanced at his subordinates and then lightly scanned Tina before fixing his gaze on Wen Shu’s face. His smile remained, but his tone hardened, "Wen Shu, this concerns the leader’s life. If you still refuse, don’t blame us."

The males behind him responded and moved in, their towering figures taking a few steps closer, blocking Wen Shu’s way out from front and back.

Seeing that they meant to force Wen Shu, Wu Xuan and Nan, too, stood up defiantly. A coldness flashed in Mious’s eyes as he cast a warning glance at Ku Jia’s group, "Is forced buying and selling in vogue in Beast City now?"

His voice was deep, a dangerous undertone like a beast’s low growl.

Ku Jia, however, seemed unaware, slowly crossing his hands over his belly.

He was well aware of the power of an Eighth-rank Beastman, but this one before him was poisoned and already seemed a dead man in his eyes.

Besides, the males behind him guarded the leader closely, and their strength was around the Fifth Rank. If they indeed fought, the beast husbands of the sickly females wouldn’t be their match.

He smiled kindly, yet his eyes revealed contempt, "Special situations require special treatments, Wen Shu. You wouldn’t want the scene to become ugly, would you?"

In a brief period, Wen Shu’s impression of him had completely changed.

She blamed herself for being prejudiced, trusting the novel’s settings; who could be an ordinary character if they were with Lucius? This was evidently a smiling tiger!

What to do... she couldn’t possibly request to see from afar?

Anyone could sense something odd, especially this chubby Beastman who knew Lucius’s quirks.

Seeing her hesitation, Ku Jia raised his hand, and several strong males immediately stepped forward to grab Wen Shu.

"What do you think you’re doing!"

At that moment, Edon came over with a frown.

Belinda stood tensely at his side, followed by all the males who could still stand. Over a dozen Beastmen surrounded them despite their injuries, their expressions grim and their eyes flashing with intense anger.

Because of these Beastmen from Beast City, the tribe had lost half their brothers, and the lingering anger was like a volcano about to erupt.

Seeing Wen Shu and the others forced into the corner, Belinda’s gaze turned sharp as she looked at Ku Jia, angrily saying, "What? We just saved you, and now you repay kindness with enmity!"

The female’s voice ignited a fuse in the hearts of the males instantly.

"You didn’t help against the Giant Corpse Beast, and now you come to bully the females! Don’t think we’re afraid of you just because we’re hurt!"

Ai Li gritted his teeth, "Such ungrateful hypocrites! I thought my sister saying the Beast City people were fake was a lie, but not only are you fake, you’re shameless too!"

The male spat angrily, "Don’t you dare bully the Fox Beast Tribe’s Beastmen!"

With anger, they pressed forward, their advancing figures like a united wolf pack on the prairie, chasing away the intruders.

Males born in Beast City had never seen such a scene; the tribal Beastmen, their eyes reddened, looked as if they wanted to tear them apart with their bare hands!

The intense pressure made Ku Jia break into a cold sweat. He couldn’t help but take a step back, wobbly smiling, "Don’t, don’t misunderstand. We were just..."

Edon coldly interrupted him, "I only see you forcing our tribe’s females!"

Belinda supported his staggering figure and sneered, "You better scram quickly, or don’t blame us for being rude."

Seeing the conflict between the Beast City Beastmen and the tribe’s Beastmen, the dazed Bai Qiao finally reacted. She stood up to intervene, but was forcibly pulled back to sit down again.

Bai Yan’s gaze swept over Wen Shu at the center of the whirlpool and then looked coldly at Ku Jia and his group, sneering, "Leave them, they deserve it."

Bai Qiao frowned in confusion, "Aren’t Ku Jia and the others just seeking help? What’s wrong with that?"

After last night, she had grown a dislike for Wen Shu. Seeing her clearly capable yet refusing to help Shu made her even more incomprehensible.

It’s just a favor, it wouldn’t kill her. Such a heartless female!
