CHAPTER 47: CHAPTER 47: REFUSING TO ACKNOWLEDGE

Bai Qiao had been doted on since childhood and couldn’t accept the fact that she was adopted.

A great fear arose in her heart, fearing that her parents would stop loving her and devote all their attention to Wen Shu.

Just the thought of this possibility left her so upset that she couldn’t breathe, wishing Wen Shu would disappear!

Noticing Bai Qiao’s increasingly intense gaze, Wen Shu felt a bit of a headache.

Are supporting characters and protagonists naturally at odds?

She hadn’t done anything yet but had already provoked Bai Qiao’s dislike.

Yun Suo also sensed something was amiss and glanced at Bai Qiao.

Seeing her eyes filled with tears, he lovingly patted the back of her hand, pulling her to sit beside him, and smiled at Wen Shu, "If it weren’t for you, Qiaoqiao might have had a grim fate. You’re a good child; I suppose you’re very loving towards your younger siblings?"

He said this to Bai Qiao, wanting her to know that when Wen Shu returned to Beast City, Bai Qiao was simply gaining another loving family member.

But Bai Qiao couldn’t listen at all. She was immersed in the sorrow of imminent abandonment, still feeling sorry for herself, occasionally glancing at Wen Shu, biting her nails until they were bare.

Seeing her like this, Yun Suo sighed inwardly, and his eyes fell back on Wen Shu.

The female in front of him was gentle and calm, although a few days younger than Bai Qiao, she seemed more mature.

Such a temperament was quite similar to the female lord.

Yun Suo couldn’t help but feel warmth, seeing Wen Shu had not responded, and continued to ask, "Wen Shu, do you have siblings?"

The interaction between Yun Suo and his daughter was all seen by Wen Shu.

Now she could already determine that the original parents had recognized her, but she wouldn’t follow them back to Beast City.

The protagonist had just learned her identity, and already hated her. If she truly went back with them, it wouldn’t be long before she would meet the fate outlined in the original storyline.

Facing Yun Suo’s gaze, Wen Shu impolitely dodged the topic, "There’s no need to be so polite. Bai Qiao has also treated many males in the tribe."

The smile on Yun Suo’s face froze slightly, meeting Wen Shu’s indifferent gaze, and came to understand that she seemed not to welcome their arrival.

But after all, she was his offspring, Yun Suo was not angry.

He composed himself, his handsome face showing a hint of seriousness, and kindly smiled, "Wen Shu, Chief Weng’s pregnancy value is only 3% and has only one beast husband. But since that male died, she never sought another beast husband, yet suddenly had a female offspring twenty years ago."

The voice paused, Yun Suo seriously stared into Wen Shu’s eyes, solemnly asked, "Have you ever considered, perhaps you’re not Chief Weng’s child at all?"

At this point, the beastmen in the cave all showed surprise.

Yun Suo’s meaning was clear, coupled with Bai Rong’s increasingly intense gaze, they were almost directly telling Wen Shu she was their long-lost child.

Those present were no fools, immediately grasping the key point.

Wen Shu’s beast husbands were calm after the initial surprise.

But Lucius beside her fell into thought, shadows of a dark light passing through his eyes, quietly staring at Wen Shu’s back; she was Bai Rong’s female offspring.

Pressing his knuckles to his brow, he felt a bit irritated. It seemed he could no longer wait.

If the female returned to Beast City, it wouldn’t be so easy to capture her again...

Wen Shu felt a chill on her back, immediately turned around, and saw only Lucius’s scholarly, handsome face.

He met her gaze, cheeks tinged with a blush, shyly bending his brows and eyes, nodded gently to her, seemingly nothing amiss.

But Wen Shu trusted her instincts more, she needed to stay away from Lucius, but for now, she needed to send her original parents away.

She pressed her lips, and when she looked at Yun Suo again, her expression became serious, pretending to be confused, "I don’t know what you mean, but my mother raised me since childhood, is the best female to me in this world."

Halfway through speaking, she stood up, her gaze passing by her original parents to the cave entrance, "Even if I was adopted, I will recognize only her as my mother, please leave."

Hearing this, Bai Rong’s pupils trembled, her features painfully scrunched, tearfully rising, "Xinxin."

She called out a strange name, stepped close to Wen Shu, attempting to hold her arm, "I am your mother, back then we had our reasons..."

The female’s voice trembled, filled with indescribable sorrow.

This attitude reminded Wen Shu of her own mother, her eyes showing a hint of unwillingness.

She knew they had their difficulties, if it were the original protagonist, she would have recognized them by now. But she understood the consequences of doing so, to survive, she had to harden her heart.

Wen Shu deftly avoided, and hid beside Nan, resolutely looking at Bai Rong, "City Lord Bai Rong, my name is Wen Shu, not your Xinxin, please leave."

Seeing her attitude, Bai Rong’s hand froze mid-air, sobbing once, finally unable to hold back her tears.

Yun Suo rarely saw the female lord collapse, immediately felt heartache and embraced her, gently soothing, "Female lord, the child is just not familiar with us, this kind of thing takes time."

Seeing her mother crying uncontrollably, Bai Qiao’s heart twisted tightly, her obedient face filled with anger, "Wen Shu, how can you hurt mother’s heart like this!"

More than her own sadness, she cared more about the mother who doted on her!

If not being able to recognize the female would make her mother suffer so much, she would rather Wen Shu return to Beast City, and would be willing to live peacefully with Wen Shu for her mother’s sake...

Tears sparkled in her eyes, she rushed forward to hug Bai Rong tightly.

The two females cried into a cluster, Yun Suo also felt a slight nasal sting, he helplessly glanced at Wen Shu, seeing her remain cold-faced, realizing it was unlikely they could persuade her to return to Beast City today.

He consoled himself that their arrival was too abrupt, anyone being unprepared and told such things would be unable to accept for a time.

"Child, we’re returning to Beast City the day after tomorrow, if you wish to go with us, come find us..."

Yun Suo sighed as he said this, looking at Wen Shu with loving eyes, smiling and adding, "It’s fine if you don’t want to as well, we’ll meet in Beast City during the snow season, if you need help, you can come find us anytime."

He assisted Bai Rong, gave Bai Yan a signal, and the young male immediately stepped forward to support Bai Qiao, his peripheral gaze couldn’t help but glance at Wen Shu.

The female stayed rooted in place, indifferent to their coming or going.

Would she go back with them?

Bai Yan couldn’t describe his feelings; that night he watched the female kill a Wolf Beast, and her valiant posture was deeply ingrained in his mind.

He expected her to return to Beast City, yet resisted, why was she his biological sister?

Wen Shu quietly watched their departing figures, secretly praying the matter would end there.

But before they could leave the cave, the furious roars of beasts suddenly echoed outside the cavern!
