After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 23 She is not her
Nan raised his head in confusion, his eyes flickering like a timid child.

In the dim light, Wen Shu used her superior orc eyesight to see his face clearly and couldn't help but gasp.

Apart from the original owner's vague memory, this was the first time Wen Shu saw Nan's face under the mask.

He looked like he had been through a fire. Only a few thick, curly hairs remained at his hairline. His face was full of pits and his skin was a knotty light brown.

On top of these scars, there were dozens of deep knife scars, covering the skin from the forehead to the chin. His eyebrows were almost gone, and the right side of his lip was also cut open, with a piece of dark red flesh even turned outward.

Even though she had seen countless zombies, she couldn't help but be stunned. Most of these scars were very old. Judging from the depth of the color, they were at least ten years old.

And if you do a little calculation, Nan was just a teenager at that time... How cruel must the person who attacked him must have been!

Even though she still had some doubts about Nan, she couldn't help but sympathize with him.

"Are you ok?"

Wen Shu extended her hand to him, softening her tone as if to avoid scaring the little animal, "Let me check your injury, okay?"

She leaned closer, and Nan finally made out her face.

How could it be her?
Even though she looked much fresher and her gentle and clean features were very different from before, he still recognized her.

Her face disgusted Nan, but her gentle and unfamiliar tone warmed his heart.

For a moment, Nan felt a sharp conflict in his heart. He had never forgotten the humiliation and torture this female had inflicted on him!

Three years ago, when the female saw him for the first time, she was furious and cursed him as an ugly corpse-like beast. She whipped his face until it was covered in blood and the ugly scars could no longer be seen.

Later, during a meal, she thought he looked disgusting and poured scalding food on his face, but not feeling satisfied, she also ordered him to wear a mask.

The most unbearable thing was that, just to save face, she drove him, who was severely whipped, into the dense forest for three days and three nights when winter was approaching.

She wants him dead!

but……

He looked deeply into Wen Shu's eyes, feeling extremely confused.

He remembered the look in the eyes of every female when she saw him: horror, disgust, viciousness, cruelty...

But I have never seen her look so worried at this moment.

He was never wrong in his ability to discern people's hearts, but this time he couldn't help but doubt himself. Did the female really care about him?
Why would she come to save him? Orcs are the prey of the weak. Even those females who claim to be kind will not show mercy to a weak male, let alone this vicious female?
Unless, the female in front of me is not her...

Seeing Nan's stunned expression and his lack of response, Wen Shu thought of the heavy blows he had just received on his head. Fearing he might have a concussion, she grasped his arm without hesitation, "Don't move. Let me take a look at you first."

The white light slid from the fingertips into Nan's arm and rushed to the head first. Fortunately, the male's skull was hard and there was no big problem.

But Wen Shu did not pull back her hand. Her supernatural power circulated in Nan's body, and she silently breathed a sigh of relief.

High-level males have strong self-healing abilities, but the broken bones in Nan's chest have not healed.

After dispelling most of her doubts, she checked Nan's body and soon felt that the situation was a bit tricky. These three orcs were really determined to kill him. Not only was Nan's left leg broken, but several pieces of his sternum and ribs were also broken!

While Wen Shu was worried, he secretly complained: Very good, the workload has increased for a few more days.

She curled her lips in dissatisfaction and looked at the three males still fighting behind her. The three males were defeated and had transformed into beasts. Each of them pounced on Wu Xuan with bloody mouths, wanting to tear a piece of his flesh off.

Facing their fierce attack, Wu Xuan seemed to be at ease. He leaped into the air with his agile figure and kicked the red fox into the ground.

The white fox attacked from behind. He noticed it keenly, raised his hand and grabbed the fox's neck, strangling it so hard that its eyes rolled back.

After getting rid of the two fox beasts, he looked at the last tiger beast with a cold gaze, and the corners of his lips slanted fiercely, intending to slowly torture this foul-mouthed orc.

But before he could move, Wen Shu's urging voice rang out, "Wu Xuan, I'm a little hungry, hurry up..."

Noticing that the tiger beast was significantly more robust than the other two, she paused, "Is this tiger beast the leader?"

Her eyes grew colder, and she exchanged a silent glance with the male.

Wu Xuan immediately understood what he meant, and with great force, he leaped onto the tiger's back, grabbed its neck, and slammed it to the ground...

After treating Nan the same way as the tiger beast did to him, Wu Xuan glanced coldly at the tiger beast with blood in its mouth, slowly raised his foot that was stepping on it, raised a smile at the corner of his lips, and turned to look for the female.

"It's been solved!" Wu Xuan stared at Wen Shu, his eyes bright and his face full of a smile that seemed to be asking for credit.

From the moment he turned around to the moment he approached, Wen Shu felt like she had a vision of a dangerous wolf, which instantly transformed into a large dog wagging its tail...

If Wu Xuan had a tail, it would probably be raised to the sky by now.

Unable to suppress her smile, she decided to play along. "Beast God, you are truly the most powerful orc I have ever seen!"

Wu Xuan felt embarrassed when he was really praised. When he heard Wen Shu's tone like coaxing a child, his face turned red from his ears to his chin.

He touched his nose and lowered his gaze to the ground. When he saw the male slumped on the ground, he couldn't help but take a half step back vigilantly, his eyes widening in surprise, "This, this is your beastly husband?"

Is this still an orc? He has never seen anyone's face destroyed like this!

How could a female mate with a male like this?
Hearing Wu Xuan's surprised voice, Nan gave him a cold look.

He saw the familiar suspicion and disgust in the male's eyes, but strangely felt at ease.

That's right, this is the normal reaction of every orc when facing him. This is the situation he is most familiar with...

His gaze slowly shifted to Wen Shu. There was a smile in the corners of her eyes, and a tiny glimmer of light in her pupils.

Seeing her at this moment, Nan felt panic-stricken, as if something was beginning to get out of control.

Noticing Wu Xuan's reaction, Wen Shu's smile softened. She knew how inferior and sensitive a disfigured person could be.

Worried that Nan would overthink things, she nodded and acknowledged Nan's identity. She extended her hand to Wu Xuan and said, "Don't waste time here, Wu Xuan. I'll have to trouble you to take us back to the cave."

The astonishment on Wu Xuan's face froze. Compared to the calmness of the female, he realized that he had been a little rude. He put on an apologetic smile and said bluntly: "I didn't mean anything else. I was just a little surprised for a moment, but the female..."

He bent down, picked up Wen Shu and held her in his arms. With his other hand, he grabbed Nan and carried her on his shoulder as gently as possible. "Females must like you very much."

He spoke with conviction. After all, females have many choices. If they didn't like the man, who would accept an ugly male and refuse to take in a beastly husband for him?
Nan lowered his head and said nothing, but Wen Shu was sweating profusely and secretly prayed that Nan would not expose her.
