CHAPTER 73: CHAPTER 73: A BEAUTIFUL MALE?

Wen Shu curled her lips coldly, "It’s time to break the contract. Being associated with an uncouth Beastman like you is utterly disgraceful."

"Receiving help yet showing not an ounce of gratitude, even those Blood Beasts have more manners than you, and..."

She glanced around and pulled out a heavy beast skin bag from the corner of the table, weighing it in her hand, "Even minor issues can be fatal; take this as the reward for saving your life. No need to thank me."

Is it too much to ask for a little compensation for the inexplicable targeting I’ve endured?

Moreover, after coming with Nan to the Snake Beast Tribe, I’ve lost shelter and food. I can’t just live on air.

Enzo was so enraged by her that he stood up with an ugly expression, shouting angrily, "Who are you calling uncultured? How dare you compare me to Blood Beasts! Put that back!"

Wen Shu raised an eyebrow, too lazy to bother with him, tucked the beast skin bag and walked away, only to bump into Mious at the doorway.

He looked as if he had suffered some sort of blow, his face was pale, and his deep green eyes were clouded with a dense darkness filled with loneliness.

Wen Shu instinctively wanted to offer a few words of comfort, but Mious pursed his lips tightly, brushed past her without looking, and directly blocked Enzo, who attempted to retrieve the beast skin bag.

Seeing his desolate state and how he ignored her, Wen Shu thought of the female named Xue Fu. Did Mious lose in love?

She was the culprit!

Afraid of bad luck, she quickened her pace and left the room in a few steps.

Just as she left, Mious’s face turned cold, rage flickering in his eyes as he said in a deep voice, "Enzo, tell Father I’ll return when it’s time to, but don’t use such tactics to force me!"

Enzo was stunned; his cousin, always so calm and composed, was actually angered over that female?

He sensed something amiss and frowned, "Mious, don’t tell me you really like that vicious and greedy female? Weren’t you forced?"

He had heard about the female’s conduct, and having just been robbed of a bag of Crystal Coins by her, his bias deepened.

Those were the taxes he had just collected!

Hearing his words, Mious felt a pang in his chest, staring deeply at him, falling into silence.

Seeing no denial from him, Enzo was utterly bewildered. He actually fancied such a female?

If his father knew about this, wouldn’t he be livid!

Recalling how strict Mious’s father was, Enzo took a deep breath and spoke earnestly, "Cousin, you should break the contract soon. She is of low rank and can’t bear cubs. What about an heir in the future? How could you choose her? Besides, it seems she doesn’t care much about you."

Enzo went on and on, but Mious only heard the last sentence.

He pressed his lips tightly together, her indifferent words about breaking the contract echoing in his head.

So, does she not like him anymore?

A wave of bitterness welled up in his heart, the loneliness in Mious’s eyes almost becoming tangible.

Enzo continued to advise him, but his chest tightened, unable to listen to a word, only turning heavily to find solitude.

As he was about to open the door, he overheard Aris excitedly confessing.

"Female, female, don’t go yet! Do you need a Beast Husband? I’m sweet-talking, in good shape, and not only can I do housework, but my cooking is also really delicious, consider me, would you?"

Mious’s fingertips paused against the doorframe, curling stiffly back into his palm; he held his breath, hiding lowly behind the door, feeling as if his chest was about to burst from the pain.

She’s planning to break the contract with him, is she going to accept another male?

The thought of her leaving him to embrace and kiss another male felt like steel needles piercing through his heart, so painful it was impossible to breathe.

No... he won’t allow it...

His eyes turned red, throat tight with bitterness, and he raised his hand to rush out and stop it, only to hear the female’s calm response.

"Sorry, I’m not looking for a new Beast Husband... I’m not planning on looking for a Snake Beast; I already have Mious."

Mious’s fingers froze mid-air, his eyes widening slightly, and upon hearing the latter part, his tightly clenched heart began to beat fiercely.

The female didn’t abandon him? She still likes him?

His long lashes trembled, and after a moment of dazedness, a hint of a smile quietly spread over his cold face as if the ice had melted.

He won’t let the female wait any longer...

Outside the door, Wen Shu circled past Aris and headed downstairs, having already instructed Nan to find a place to live, the next issue was food.

Healing males here would probably earn her quite a bit of food, but since she’s never participated before, she wasn’t sure how it worked.

Do you take on missions? Or...?

Lost in thought, the male behind her was ruthlessly ignored, yet persistently followed her.

Aris, being clever, shifted his approach, smiling brightly, "Female, wait up! The snow season is about to start, and you must have no food after leaving the tribe. You can come to my place; there’s plenty of food at my house."

Wen Shu glanced at the male sidelong, seeing his radiant smile and straightforward gaze fixed on her, she ran faster.

There are no free meals in this world!

Seeing her running swiftly, Aris adjusted his clothes and tidied his hair with a puzzled look.

He looked very handsome!

The female must be shy.

He was about to chase after her again but was halted by a wave of killing intent rising from behind him.

Mious pressed down on his shoulder, his expression darkened as he spoke, "If you want to pursue the female, you’ll have to defeat me first."

Elsewhere, Wen Shu reached the lower floor, her gaze scanning the hall as she prepared to head towards Belinda.

A tall figure suddenly emerged from around the corner, moving swiftly past her.

Her vision darkened, unable to dodge in time, she collided straight into the male’s chest.

A faint warm scent drifted into her nostrils, Wen Shu’s forehead hit a firm elasticity, and before she could step back, she was abruptly pushed away.

"Female, stay away from me."

A crisp warning sounded above her head.

Wen Shu steadied herself by gripping the railing, raising her gaze with some annoyance.

But before she could see clearly, a few females crowded behind her, pushing her to the last row.

A tall female attempted to grab the male’s hand, "Julius! Are you hurt too?"

Another female, unwilling to be outdone, had her palm glowing green, "My rank is higher, let me heal you!"

Several other females eagerly pressed forward.

Their husbands followed closely, clenching their jaws tightly, glaring harshly at Julius in the center.

Never had she seen females so enthused, leaving Wen Shu stupefied. Unable to contain her curiosity, she stood on tiptoe to take a glance.

But those tall figures shielded the male tightly.

She only caught a glimpse of a snow-white tuft of hair and the females’ green-glowing eyes, seemingly wishing to devour Julius.

Unable to see clearly, she redirected her gaze, noticing Belinda also joining the fray.

"Wen Shu, have you seen Julius too? You’re really calm; I’ve never encountered a male so beautiful in my life!"

She beamed radiantly, her eyes glittering with amazement, speaking with uncharacteristic fervor, "If it weren’t for Edon getting jealous, I’d definitely go after him!"

A beautiful male?

Wen Shu couldn’t imagine it, suppressing her curiosity, she continued to inquire about the news.

With Belinda’s company, she signed up for the healing team and stayed to tend to several males’ wounds.

Her superpower still unused, she planned to find Nan, intending to return tomorrow to work.

Cradling a basket of meat and fruit, she leisurely exited the stone house, realizing it was already quite dark.

She glanced around, hoping to spot Nan.

Instead, she found Mious standing beneath a dense tree in the dim light, his eyes deeply watching her.
