CHAPTER 72: CHAPTER 72: WHEN RIVALS BECOME LOVE RIVALS

Aris’s pupils quivered, not expecting the female to be so fierce. Unable to dodge, he was kicked down hard, landing straight into the stone house.

The originally chaotic room suddenly became silent for a second, with dozens of eyes simultaneously looking at him.

"What are you looking at!"

Aris glared at them, propping himself up in embarrassment and anger, and looked fiercely towards the door.

The female was slowly approaching, with dim twilight behind her, her long hair slipping from the side of her ear, and her entire face nearly hidden in shadow.

Only a pair of cold eyes lightly glanced at him.

Meeting her dangerous gaze, Aris’s pupils instantly shrank to needlepoints, his heart unable to stop racing wildly.

He stared unblinkingly, watching the female’s snow-white and indifferent face being illuminated inch by inch, his pupils gradually dilating, and his erratic heart beating with an even more frenzied excitement.

So, this is the female Mious is interested in?

He also likes her very much...

Indeed, the taste of the strong is always similar!

The sarcasm on Aris’s face instantly faded. Seeing the female looking at him, he straightened his back, brushed his hair behind his ear, and smiled slyly, "Female, I didn’t expect you—"

Wen Shu walked into the stone house, only to see the male staring at her with a strange expression.

Seeing him mocking her one second and suddenly laughing so smarmily the next, she got goosebumps all over!

She twitched the corner of her eye, shivered slightly, and hurriedly avoided his gaze, walking further into the stone house.

Seeing the female not even looking at him, Aris hurriedly got up and took a few steps to catch up, "Hey! Female, wait, let me take you to see the leader!"

Just as he was about to catch up, Mious suddenly appeared, blocking his path and coldly warning, "Aris, you’d best stay away from my female."

Blocked by the person he loathes most, Aris frowned with displeasure, "Your female? I didn’t smell your scent on her, and besides, the female isn’t yours alone."

He was always sharp-tongued, especially with Mious, his words were practically poisoned.

"Even if you’ve mated, your female can still become my female! Mious, how old are you, and you still fantasize about having an exceptional female all to yourself?"

This remark struck Mious’s reverse scale, and his face darkened, understanding Aris’s implication.

Aris not only keeps competing with him but also wants to snatch the female from him!

Seeing Mious’s grim expression, Aris became even more pleased, but he was more eager to pursue the female, "Move aside, don’t interfere with my courting the female, I may not surpass you in rank, but I’m definitely better than you at pleasing the female."

As he spoke, he imagined the future, unable to hold back laughter, "Haha, a cold face like a block of ice, when we become brothers, I’m sure I’ll be more favored than you!"

Mious stood there, his cold expression practically about to shed ice shards, only feeling that Aris’s every word stabbed straight at his heart.

Aris wasn’t wrong...

He was rigid and boring, always with a cold face, even if the female liked him, she would eventually get tired, right?

Otherwise, why would she be getting closer to Nan and increasingly indifferent to him?

Mious’s eyes showed a trace of loneliness. Seeing Aris eager to try again, he coldly stepped forward to intercept him.

While the two were at a standoff, Nan, with an indifferent expression, had already followed from the other side.

The intense situation between the two snake beasts went unnoticed by Wen Shu.

She walked up the stairs to the second floor, found the busiest room, and just as she opened the door, she was greeted by Belinda’s troubled expression.

Wen Shu moved aside at the entrance, worrying, "How’s the situation?"

Recognizing the familiar voice, Belinda quickly raised her head, blinking in disbelief, "Wen Shu? You, you escaped!"

She looked Wen Shu up and down, suddenly leaning closer and sniffing her with a wrinkled nose.

Wen Shu was startled by her sudden action, took two steps back, and covered the beast skin at her neck, "Belinda, what are you sniffing for?"

Not smelling a male scent, Belinda relaxed but was also a little surprised that Wen Shu hadn’t even mated with a male yet!

As they talked, Nan silently followed them up.

Belinda glanced at his mask, thought of Mious’s cold nature, and for Wen Shu, felt a pinch of frustration.

Seeing Belinda’s eyes flash with mixed emotions, Wen Shu was a bit puzzled and was soon pulled by her arm, "Wen Shu, if Mious doesn’t allow contact, it doesn’t matter. The more beast husbands, the better. What type do you like? I’ll introduce you!"

She was flustered and backed away, "No need! I’m worried about Mious, going to see the Snake Beast Leader..."

Finishing her sentence incoherently, Wen Shu turned around, covering her face to cool it down, only to meet Nan’s smiling eyes.

The male was leaning against the railing, and when he saw her looking over, a hidden wave flashed in his eyes, and he walked towards her slowly.

Wen Shu wasn’t sure if he heard, her face awkwardly smiling, "Belinda is too enthusiastic..."

Nan’s gaze was gentle, and seeing her blushing with embarrassment, he held back a smile, gently replying, "Hmm."

Looks like he didn’t hear!

Wen Shu quietly breathed a sigh of relief, the blush on her cheeks fading slightly, and as she pushed the door open again, a warm breath brushed past her ear.

Nan’s slightly hoarse, gentle voice brushed against the tip of her ear, slowly speaking, "Perhaps... you could consider me?"

Wen Shu froze for two seconds, a tingling sensation crawling up her back, her recently cooled face flushing instantly, and she rushed into the room, wishing she could find a hole to hide in.

Are all these Beastmen so open!

Her mind was dizzy. Just as she steadied herself, an older female asked softly, "Female, what level are you?"

Suppressing the jumble of thoughts in her mind, Wen Shu glanced at the female but did not answer.

At this moment, more than ten females were taking turns treating the leader.

If there was any life-threatening situation, by the time it was her turn, he would already be dead.

Wen Shu pondered for a moment, then spoke, "Mious asked me to come."

As soon as she spoke, the elder by the bedside immediately recognized her, quickly standing to greet her to the bedside, tears streaming down his wrinkled face.

"Wen Shu, please quickly see to Enli, the recent tribal affairs have been many, and he’s fainted not just once. This child is still young, just how..."

It was Wen Shu’s second time seeing this elder, but she never expected that he, who seemed stern, would turn out to be so talkative.

After she finished the treatment, the male on the bed slowly woke up, and only then did he finally stop, asking in surprise, "So fast?"

Then his eyes lit up as he looked at her.

Hearing his words, the surrounding females were also filled with disbelief, all looking towards her.

Feeling the intense stares, Wen Shu explained softly, "It’s just overworking, his brain has a minor issue..."

The elder widened his eyes, "Minor issue?"

Snake Beast Leader Enli propped himself up, seeing that he was about to start again, closed his eyes helplessly, "Uncle, I’ve told you all are too nervous, just leave for now."

Given the order to leave, the elder swallowed back his words, motioning for the other still shocked Beastmen to leave.

With nothing else, Wen Shu was about to get up, but Enli stopped her with a deep voice, "Are you Mious’s female?"

His tone was unfriendly, not like he was intending to thank her, but more like questioning her.

Wen Shu furrowed her brows, turning to look at him.

Enli’s face was cold, his eyes filled with prejudice, speaking contemptuously, "Mious’s status is noble, you can’t climb up to him, breaking the contract early is best for both of you."

Mious had just entered the room when he heard this sentence.

His breath caught, wanting to stop his cousin, but then he heard the female’s light laugh, "You’re right, we should break the contract..."
