Chapter 196 Beating
Seeing Bai Qiao's reaction, Chi Ling vaguely sensed that something was wrong.

He and Qiaoqiao had only been together for a short time, and he didn't even know who the female she was helping was, let alone the grudges between them...

You should have asked Qiaoqiao beforehand.

"Before leaving Arsen, Ludi came to ask us where we were going, saying he would come after he finished his business. I thought he was just concerned about you..."

Chi Ling's lips were pressed tightly together, and fine lines appeared between her brows. "I'm sorry, Qiao Qiao, did I do something wrong?"

Seeing his frustrated expression, Bai Qiao couldn't bear to blame him, but she couldn't cause trouble for Wen Shu.

Wen Shu faked her death to escape Arendia, and her family had finally settled into a stable life. If, because of her mistake, they were to begin a life of constant wandering again, she would be haunted by guilt for the rest of her life.
“Tell Lu Di that we have already left and I am going to say goodbye to Wen Shu.”

Bai Qiao bit her lip and hurried back into the castle.

Seeing her rush into the house in a hurry, Wen Shu handed the cub in her arms to Nan and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Bai Qiao, panting heavily, didn't respond for a moment. He sat down by the bed and treated her again before she could catch her breath and said softly, "There are still things to do in Yasen City. We should go back."

She didn't intend to linger. Seeing that Wen Shu's complexion had become rosy, she turned to leave.

Upon hearing her words, Wen Shu grabbed her hand, "Arsen City? You and Ludi are together? You two..."

She hesitated, then became worried when she saw that Bai Qiao did not refute her.

Rudy is no good person. Even though they've weathered the crisis, he and Craig are capable of anything for power.

If Bai Qiao stays with them, she'll only suffer losses; she might be sold out without even knowing it.

Wen Shu frowned slightly. Her body had fully recovered after the treatment. She got up to say a few words of advice, but Bai Qiao held her down. A resolute look flashed across her obedient and gentle face.

"Don't worry, I've decided to break the bond with him," she pursed her lips, thought for a moment, and then said with a hint of apology, "I have to leave quickly. Ludi knows I'm here, and it would be bad if he came after me."

Wen Shu felt a warmth in her heart and was not as worried as Bai Qiao.

Now that everything is over, she has nothing to worry about. If Lu Di dares to cause trouble, he should be the one who is afraid.

However, she did not refuse Bai Qiao's kindness, and took out the gifts she had prepared in advance to see them off from the castle.

"If you have the chance to come again, I'll treat you to the local specialty grilled fish at Yudongcheng on the coast."

Watching Bai Qiao and his group board the eagle beast, Wen Shu called out, "Have a safe journey."

Bai Qiao waved, "Go back now, see you later."

With its wings spread wide, the majestic eagle soared into the night sky and flew away at incredible speed in the blink of an eye.

In the dense forest near Yudong City, a wolf-beast caravan had to stop and rest due to a battle between the remaining forces of Blackthorn Valley ahead.

Familiar flying beasts swept overhead.

The fat orc, who was resting on his back, spotted him with sharp eyes and turned to walk towards the richly dressed white-haired male in the center of the group.

"Chief, didn't Lord Ludi just enter Beast City? Look over there!"

The male slightly raised his chin, and beneath his long, snow-white eyelashes, a pair of blood-red eyes gleamed eerily in the night.

"It seems your Lord Ludi has been left behind..."

Lucius curled his lips in schadenfreude, but after waiting for a long time without seeing Ludi return, he felt a little strange.

In the tranquil forest, everyone in the convoy had fallen into a deep sleep.

He clapped his hands lightly and strode towards Yudong City, his slender figure gradually disappearing into the dark night.

-

Late at night, the sound of crying echoed from inside the castle.

Wen Shu opened her eyes groggily and was about to get up when a hot hand gently pressed down on her shoulder.

"Ah Shu, you sleep a little longer, I'll go check on things."

Wu Xuan bent down and kissed her forehead before getting up and leaving the room.

Worried about Wen Shu's health and concerned that there wouldn't be enough people to look after the cubs, the males discussed it and decided that only Wu Xuan would stay, while Mu Xier and the others would take the cubs and live next door.

The cubs born in the beast world are exceptionally strong from a young age and can eat minced meat directly, without needing to be breastfed by their mothers.

This saved Wen Shu a lot of trouble.

Thinking that with the males around, she could get a good night's rest. After Wu Xuan left, Wen Shu went back to bed and closed her eyes sleepily.

Just as I was in a daze, I heard a faint sound of the window opening and closing.

She was so sleepy that she didn't react for a moment.

As soon as the light went out and the bedside was completely blocked, her sluggish brain jolted awake!

It was as if there were a tangible gaze, extremely penetrating, piercing the side of her face; even with her eyes closed, she could feel the devouring emotion within it.

Unaware of any danger, Wen Shu's first reaction was to assume that the person who came was Lach.

But when she opened her eyes, she was greeted by a face she never thought she would see again.

In the dim moonlight, the tall figure stood backlit, seemingly unable to believe his eyes, his back slightly bent.

Caught off guard, their eyes met, and in an instant, a pair of deep blue eyes became bloodshot. It was Lu Di.

"You're really not dead..."

His thin lips parted slightly, his expression inscrutable, but before he could finish speaking, a sharp, cold light pierced straight towards his face.

The extremely fast speed created a sharp gust of wind, his pupils contracted, and he retreated to the window, but his cheek was still mercilessly slashed.

With his hand smeared with blood, Lu Di glanced down at it, then looked at Wen Shu with a hint of annoyance in his eyes. "So, that day was just a charade you all put on together?"

Recalling the self-blame and despair of those days, his smile widened, and the gentle mask welded to his face shattered completely.

He sensed something was wrong from the moment Bai Qiao left in such a hurry, but he never expected to make such an unexpected discovery.

How dare this female fool him!

He did like her to some extent and enjoyed the thrill of hunting his prey, but she was too uncontrollable...

Such females should be locked up so they can gradually learn to be obedient.

"Wen Shu, don't blame me."

A ruthless glint flashed in Ludi's eyes as he stared intently at the female before him.

But Wen Shu remained expressionless, merely watching him coldly as she raised her blood-stained claw blade and flicked the blood droplets onto the ground.

"If you don't want to suffer, then come with me obediently."

Seeing her icy demeanor, Lu Di continued his threats, but Wen Shu sneered, "Lu Di, you seem to have a bit of a lapse in judgment?"

Pointing to the window, he kindly reminded her, "If you don't want to die, you'd better leave now and never show your face again."

Whether Ludi could beat her or not was another matter, but the males were right next door, and knowing he had the audacity to boast about capturing her, they would be letting him off easy if they didn't beat him half to death.

However, blinded by his emotions and unaware of her family's situation, Ludi, upon hearing her provocative words, rushed forward fiercely to grab her hand.

Wen Shu was too lazy to deal with him, so she pushed open the door and rushed into the spacious living room.

"boom!"

The loud crash of the door frame breaking immediately startled the males who were feeding the animals.

Luo Fei, who was closest to the door, rushed out first. He saw the figures fighting in the living room, leaped down, and pulled Lu Di away.

At this moment, Ludi had not yet realized the seriousness of the problem and started fighting with Luo Fei without saying a word. With the addition of Musil and Wuxuan, the battle instantly turned into a brawl.

The jet-black snake tail grabbed Ludi and flung him away. He barely managed to regain his balance when another massive black wing slammed down on his head.

The ordeal of being knocked to the ground wasn't over yet; Wu Xuan immediately transformed into beast form, his claws pressing down on his back.

With annoyed, Wu Xuan's nostrils flared as he recalled the filthy thoughts that Ludi and Lucius might have had, and his golden eyes blazed with fury.

Nan, who was also aware of the situation, handed the cub to Wen Shu and joined in.

The sounds of fighting echoed throughout the entire castle.

The group showed no mercy, targeting the face and sore spots with their blows.

Seeing a once-proud heir of the Beast City beaten black and blue, Wen Shu couldn't bear to look, but she still reminded Nan to order Lu Di to sign a Beast God Contract and never appear in front of them again.

Nan Lili responded decisively, his eyes brightening as he began to implement the order: "Stay away from Nanli in the future, or next time, it won't just be a beating."

After beating the man to the point of near death, Nan picked him up, intending to transform into a flying beast and throw him into the dense forest. However, just as he stepped out of the castle, a familiar figure appeared before him again.

Under the pale moonlight, Lucius, with his full head of white hair, stared blankly at Wen Shu's profile, his gaze passing over Nan's shoulder.

Nan reacted quickly, tossing Ludi aside and turning to the side, using his broad frame to block Lucius's view. "Heh, another one who's not afraid of death..."

He spoke in a very low voice, took long strides forward, and intended to handle it himself.

The males inside weren't deaf. Once they saw who had delivered themselves to their door, they chased after them with grim expressions.

Just looking at their backs sent chills down Wen Shu's spine.

The sounds of fighting rose and fell once more.

Wen Shu yawned, picked up the cub, and sat down on the soft chair. Yining stood to the side and asked her what had happened.

After the whole story was explained, Yining, who was usually calm, frowned and said in a serious tone, "Ashu, you hold the cub first."

Wen Shu had just accepted it when a blurry image appeared before his eyes and he vanished from the spot.

"..."

She blinked, looked down at the two cubs, and saw their dark eyes staring at her. She smiled helplessly, "Are you sleepy? Let's go back to the room and take a nap, okay?"

She carried the two babies and walked up the stairs.

As soon as she stepped into the second-floor corridor, a strong, gray arm gripped her firmly.
