After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 18 Confrontation
Wen Shu and Mu Xier looked towards the river bank warily.

In the glaring sunlight, the male's wet black hair stuck to his forehead. When he raised his eyes, his eyelashes trembled slightly, and drops of water streaked across the faint dark circles under his eyes, making him look like he had not slept all night.

It was the disappeared Wu Xuan.

"Wen Shu female!"

Finally finding Wen Shu, Wu Xuan's pupils trembled, unable to hide his excitement of regaining what he had lost. He ran towards her breathlessly, but his eyes suddenly became cold and dangerous when he noticed the female's bloody legs.

He raised his eyes and saw a strong snake tail roughly wrapped around the female's waist, the tip of which rested on her dangling feet. A lot of dried blood dripped from the dark scales.

Wu Xuan's pupils shrank, and his back straightened in anger, his eyes filled with murderous intent, "Who are you! Let go of the female!"

He searched for Wen Shu for a whole day and night, and subconsciously regarded the male next to the female as the culprit.

Faced with the rude provocation, the cold and tough Musir stuck out his tongue in displeasure, raised his snake body, and shot a cold look at Wu Xuan.

The dangerous atmosphere is about to break out.

The snake tail around his waist tightened, Wen Shu pushed it away with his hand, and looked at Wu Xuan with inquiring eyes.

Yesterday she was attacked by a stray beast, and Wu Xuan disappeared.

Although Wu Xuan had no grudges against the original owner, and the figure she saw before she fell into a coma did not look like him, she still couldn't help but feel suspicious.

Wen Shu lowered her eyes to hide the thoughts in them. Before the conflict could escalate, she waved at Wu Xuan, interrupting their confrontation. "Wu Xuan, you misunderstood. He was the one who saved me! Hiss—"

She pretended to be wounded, bit her lips, and observed Wu Xuan's expression calmly.

Hearing her painful inhalation, Wu Xuan's aura instantly subsided and he raised his head in worry.

Seeing Wen Shu's pale face and muddy body, he opened his mouth, and the corners of his sharp eyes turned slightly red. "Female, are you okay?"

After saying this, he clenched his fists in frustration. How could he ever get better with such an injury?
The nails dug too deep into the flesh due to excessive force, and traces of bright red seeped out from between the fingers.

His eyes were filled with self-blame, and he said in a low voice: "Female, I'm sorry, I didn't protect you well..."

After meeting the male's misty golden eyes, Wen Shu felt surprised and most of her doubts disappeared.

Wu Xuan was really worried about her.

She looked away guiltily, feeling somewhat guilty about testing someone who cared about her.

But who exactly wants to harm her?

Suppressing the doubts in her heart, she shook her head at Wu Xuan, "Why apologize? It's not your fault, you..."

They were the only two people by the river yesterday. Wu Xuan might have seen something... I need to talk to him alone.

Wen Shu's eyes moved and she smiled. "If you really want to apologize, please send me back to the tribe."

After hearing Wen Shu's words, Wu Xuan's eyebrows twitched slightly, and he looked up in disbelief. Seeing Wen Shu's eyes and eyebrows filled with smile, he looked a little dazed.

The female was smiling at him?
Wu Xuan pursed his lips. He failed to protect the female, but the female comforted him instead. How could there be a female as gentle and tolerant as Wen Shu in the world?

His gaze was glued to Wen Shu's clear eyes, and his heart felt as if it was filled with water, sour and swollen.

Wen Shu didn't wait for a reply, and asked hesitantly, "Wu Xuan? Don't you want to?"

Being called again, the strings in Wu Xuan's mind completely broke, and he couldn't wait to walk towards the female.

He stood in front of Musier, raised his chin indifferently, and a look of pride appeared between his brows because of the female's trust. "Leave the female to me, you can leave." Seeing the familiar interaction between Wen Shu and the strange male, Musier felt a strange emotion in his heart.

He glared at the rude stranger with cold eyes and couldn't help but snort in his heart.

No wonder the female was willing to let him go, it turned out she had a new suitor.

He actually believed the rumors about the gladiatorial contest and felt guilty for rejecting her strong and deep feelings...

The snake tail at his waist didn't move for a long time. Wen Shu gently poked it and said with a grateful smile: "Miusier, thank you for bringing me back. Go back and do your work. You can put me down now."

Hearing this, a hint of displeasure flashed across Musier's dark vertical pupils. He glanced at the complacent Wu Xuan, then glanced at Wen Shu who looked sympathetic, and said coldly, "Hmm."

He has more important things to do than wasting time here.

Musier slowly put Wen Shu down, and Wu Xuan immediately stepped forward and transformed a long and thick tail, wrapped it around the female's waist, and carefully supported her back with both hands to avoid pulling her legs.

Then Wu Xuan discovered that the most comfortable position was for the snake beast to wrap its arms around the female's waist.

Only then did he look Musil in the eye, the hostility in his eyes weakened considerably, and he blurted out a subtle statement of sovereignty, "Thank you for saving the female."

"No need." Musier was very frugal with his words. He glanced at the two people who were smiling at each other and attributed the depressed feeling in his heart to disgust.

That's right, after all, he hated Wen Shu.

After figuring this out, Musier straightened his snake tail, oblivious to the surroundings, rubbed it against the ground, and covered the bloodstain with mud. He said coldly, "I still have to see the elders. I'll go back to the tribe first."

After saying that, he passed by the two of them without even glancing at them.

His actions were not concealed at all. Wu Xuan was stunned for two seconds, staring at the direction where the snake beast left, with fire in his eyes.

But he was still holding the female in his arms, so he could only suppress his anger, "Female, who is this black snake beast? Did he bully you?"

Wen Shu had long been accustomed to Mu Xier's disdain. She leaned on Wu Xuan's arm and explained vaguely, "No, no, I offended him before, and he's doing his utmost to save me."

I must never tell him that it was Musil. Once I let it slip, the reason for rejection would be exposed, and who knows what this passionate male would do.

Wu Xuan hugged Wen Shu's arm tightly, allowing her to lean on him more comfortably, with disapproval written in his eyes. What excessive thing could such a gentle female do?
It is his responsibility to teach the snake beast a lesson.

The most important thing now is the female's injury.

Her calves were twisted so tightly that the flesh was turned inside out. Just looking at them made people frown. He couldn't imagine how tough a female must be to be able to talk to him without changing her expression at this moment.

He lowered his eyes to look at the female, unconsciously softened his tone, and said distressedly: "Female, your injury is too serious, let's go back to the tribe."

The arm around his waist tensed, and Wen Shu hurriedly stopped him, "Wait a minute, I still have something to get!"

She pointed to the river bank and peeked out from the male's arms. Now that she was closer, she could see that the fish meat had been mixed into the mud. The expectation in her eyes suddenly dimmed.

Wu Xuan couldn't bear her pitiful look of loss, so he bent down and placed her under a tree. He picked up a branch and jumped into the river. He soon returned with a string of fresh fish. He circled Wen Shu and hurried to the tribe. "Catch these first. If you like to eat them, I'll come back in a few days. Now let's go see the witch doctor first."

Wu Xuan held the fish in one hand and Wen Shu in the other as they shuttled through the woods.

The fish that were not completely dead kept flapping their tail fins, and the fishy water splashed across Wen Shu's face. She grabbed the animal skin and wiped it, and when she turned around, all she could see was the male's exposed chest.

Momo raised her eyes and asked the question that had been lingering in her stomach for a long time, "Wu Xuan, why did you suddenly disappear yesterday?"
