Chapter 31 Is the heroine really kind?
"Because of my brother." When Bai Qiao mentioned the reason for coming here, a hint of depression appeared on his face.

She pointed at the young male sitting across from her and said with dismay, "He just came of age this year and was supposed to go to the neighboring tribe for his coming-of-age ceremony. But because his companions provoked him a few times, he ran off into the jungle in the middle of the night!"

Wen Shu looked in the direction of her hand. The young male was lowering his head, occasionally looking up and glancing at her. When his eyes met hers, a slight blush appeared on his slightly chubby face, and he lowered his head shyly.

Wen Shu saw his familiar amber eyes and couldn't help but sigh, he was indeed the original owner's half-brother, and he looked a bit like her in this body.

But he looked just over 1.8 meters tall, and unlike other adult beasts who were muscular, his face also had the handsome and energetic look of a teenager, and he really looked like a minor.

However, this is how Bai Yan is described in the original novel. He was ostracized by his peers because he looked too youthful, which is exactly the same as what Bai Qiao said.

"I happened to see it and wanted to persuade him to come back with me," Bai Qiao said, his cheeks puffed up with anger. "But he ran away. I chased him and then encountered a strange beast. Later, Xiu and the others rescued me, and then I came all the way here..."

At the end of her words, she looked at the fat orcs and their group with gratitude, while Wen Shu felt a little complicated.

She remembered that there was indeed such a passage in the original book.

The noble beasts living in the Beast City do not often go out hunting, especially those in high positions.

Their only way to come into contact with the giant beasts is through the hunting ceremony during their coming-of-age ceremony.

In the original story, Bai Qiao had a quarrel with her fiancé and came to the tribe with her younger brother Bai Yan, but they both got lost in the dense forest.

It was another male protagonist, Lucius, who rescued them. However, Bai Qiao and Bai Yan didn't realize they couldn't run around in the dense forest, and they alerted the giant corpse beast. On their way to escape, they killed a hunting team and ended up in the tiger beast tribe...

Thinking of this, Wen Shu's face darkened. The original novel did not say where the hunting team they killed came from, but now it seems that it was the fox beast tribe.

In the plot, the hunting team was completely wiped out, but now there are Musir and Wu Xuan.

Can they alone turn the outcome around?
Wen Shu looked into the depths of the dense forest worriedly. They came because of her. If something happened, she would feel guilty for the rest of her life.

If she still had the ability, she could at least go and help them, but going now would only cause trouble.

Wen Shu stared at her hands, feeling powerless. She was too weak now, so weak that it was infuriating.

Seeing that her expression was not right, Bai Qiao stopped his rambling story, approached her cautiously, and asked, "Female, what are you looking at?"

Bai Qiao's round head blocked her view, so she couldn't see anything. She looked at Wen Shu and blinked in confusion.

After seeing her series of playful behaviors, Wen Shu felt even worse.

She didn't want to deal with it anymore, so she just stared at Bai Qiao's eyes silently, observing for a long while, until the other party avoided her sight uncomfortably, and she didn't see even a trace of guilt or worry.

So she lay back down at the tree roots, hugging her chest, closed her eyes, and said indifferently, "Sorry, I'm sleepy. If you have anything to say, let's talk later."

When she read the novel, she only knew that the heroine was kind and innocent, and she looked at things from the heroine's perspective throughout the whole process.

But now she couldn't help but wonder, if the heroine was really so kind, why could she just walk away without any regrets after bringing trouble to the hunting team?
Not only did she not feel guilty, she even started dating Lucius. She really couldn't muster any good feelings towards such a person.

Faced with her sudden change of attitude, Bai Qiao stood there awkwardly, his face pale. "Yes, you're still injured. I'll go back over there first..."

She bit her lip, and when she turned around, her eyes were red, she felt aggrieved and a little angry. She treated females politely, so how could she treat her like this?
Without Bai Qiao's voice, the jungle immediately fell silent. As the night deepened, an increasingly heavy atmosphere spread among the orcs.

They were all worried about their fellow hunters. Only Tina met Bai Qiao's gaze and offered an indignant reassurance, "Don't bother with her, she's not a good woman. She just got lucky in killing the beast!"

Her voice was abrupt and particularly clear in the quiet jungle. Apart from Bai Qiao looking at her with gratitude, no one responded.

Tina's expression also looked a little grim. She gently nudged the female beside her and said, "Right, Belin?"

Beilin was still worried about Eaton. After hearing her words, she just glanced at her coldly, then stood up and sat next to a giant tree closer to the gathering place.

For the first time, she felt like she was on the same side as Wen Shu.

From the moment this female named Bai Qiao appeared, she felt she disliked her. She brought danger to the hunting team and didn't care about their lives at all, as if shedding a few tears meant others should sacrifice their lives for her!

Nan took in all the changes in Wen Shu and felt a secret joy as he gained a better understanding of her character.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then gently touched Wen Shu's hand, "Don't worry too much, Mu Xier and Wu Xuan should be able to handle it."

He had fought against the giant beast head-on, and the weakness the female told Wu Xuan was correct. Moreover, the poison core had not yet grown in the split skull of this giant corpse beast, and its level was not too high. As long as he took advantage of it, he could win.

But Wen Shu didn't know this. She thought Nan was comforting her, and she couldn't control her heartache as she looked at the dark woods in the distance.

Seeing that she didn't respond, Nan tentatively held the back of her hand and gently advised: "They will definitely be injured when they come back. You should rest for a while so that you can focus on treating them."

The back of her hand felt scorching hot, and Wen Shu looked up at Nan.

His eyes were gentle, his mind was sharp and delicate, and he could see through people's hearts. He was even much bolder, which was very different from before.

But Wen Shu was indeed convinced, "Okay, remember to wake me up when they come back."

She pulled her hand back naturally and closed her eyes, but she couldn't help but pay attention to the sounds around her, afraid of missing their return. This state lasted until midnight, when she fell into a deep sleep.

Beside her, Nan stared at his palm absentmindedly and stayed awake all night.

When the sound of messy footsteps was heard, the strong sunlight had already climbed up to the treetops. Wen Shu, who was sleeping, heard the tips of his ears move slightly, and he suddenly sat up and looked towards the gathering place.

Facing the dazzling sunlight, dozens of scattered figures appeared in the jungle. Some of them supported each other, while others transformed into beasts and carried their seriously injured companions. Their number was nearly half of what it was when they came.

"They're back!" Ali shouted, and the excited males rushed over.

Beilin, with a tired face, also stood up and ran while looking anxiously. When she saw Eaton's staggering figure, her cheeks were already wet.

Wen Shu followed closely behind Beilin and saw Musir at a glance. He still maintained his beast form, with his scarred snake tail encircling seven or eight seriously injured males.

Seeing that he still had some energy left, Wen Shu's tense expression relaxed a little, and she went to look for Wu Xuan again, but after looking around carefully, she didn't see the familiar figure.

She grabbed the strange male in front of her, "Where's Wu Xuan?"

Worried that the other party didn't know who he was, he anxiously added, "Where's the black panther?"
