After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 37 The Unpredictable Lucius

Wen Shu's back straightened, and he got goosebumps all over his body at the eerie scene before him.

She knew that Lucius had wind powers, and she also knew how cruel he was when he used his powers to torture others, but the book didn't mention that he floated around like a ghost!
She swallowed and tiptoed to take a step back.

The white shadow in the darkness suddenly shook, and it moved swiftly towards them with strange movements. A strong sense of crisis crept into Wen Shu's heart. Her eyes tightened, and she quickly steadied her voice and spoke calmly, "I saved you. Kuga and the others are outside the cave. You can ask them!"

A cold wind blew across her face, lifting her long black hair. Several strands of hair seemed to be cut off by invisible silk threads and fell lightly to the ground.

The dark cave became quiet, and the only sound in Wen Shu's ears was her own chaotic heartbeat.

She clenched her sweaty palms, staring at Lucius's strange eyes close to her, ready to use soul-stealing on him at any time.

Lucius stopped in front of her and looked at her thoughtfully.

After a few seconds of stalemate, his brows suddenly relaxed, and a smile of sudden realization appeared at the corners of his lips, "So that's how it is..."

He had a faint smile on his face, and politely lowered his head slightly. His magnetic voice was slightly apologetic, "I'm sorry, female. Fortunately, I didn't cause you too much harm."

The tense atmosphere came to an abrupt end, and Wen Shu was completely unable to react.

She moved her neck stiffly and stared at Lucius's snow-white hair, feeling even more horrified.

Damn it, why is he suddenly so humble... The grass on the grave of the last orc who made him bow his head must be several meters high, right?
Lucius was completely unaware. Noticing her stunned expression, he raised his eyebrows and raised his hand to touch her cheek. "Female, did I scare you?"

His tone was worried, and his cold fingertips were getting closer and closer.

Wen Shu was startled and took a few steps back. What was he doing? Wasn't he misogynistic and couldn't touch women?

She slowed down her thoughts, as if she had just recovered from her fear. She panted and patted her chest, pretending to smile and said, "It's good that the misunderstanding has been resolved. I thought you were going to strangle me again! Now that you're awake, I should go report to the high priest."

Without waiting for Lucius's response, he walked around him and quickly approached the cave entrance, shouting to the outside of the boulder: "Kuja, your leader is awake!"

Lucius's fingertips froze in mid-air as the female dodged him.

He stared silently at the female's back, his eyes darkening, and quickly followed her footsteps. A slight smile appeared on the corner of his lips, and he asked curiously, "Why didn't they come in with you?"

Wen Shu stood at the entrance of the cave and looked at Lucius. The boulder slowly moved away, and a few tiny rays of sunlight penetrated from the top, shining warmly on his face which had regained its color, and also illuminated the small open space at the entrance of the cave. The creepy and gloomy feeling was finally dispelled a little.

Wen Shu secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and his cold back gradually warmed up.

When the cave entrance was almost open, she finally spoke frankly, "Your subordinates are very arrogant. They said that if I couldn't save you, they would bury me with you."

The boulder was completely pushed aside, and Kuga's round face appeared at the entrance of the cave. Wen Shu seemed to remember something and said to Lucius, "Besides, they were so rude as to hold our acting leader hostage."

Although Lucius didn't know her, she knew Lucius very well.

Although this male protagonist is shady behind the scenes, he has been doing good deeds for many years in order to make the Spider Clan the actual rulers of the main city, and his image in the eyes of the orcs is very great and glorious.

He would not allow his reputation to be tarnished in any way.

As expected, Lucius's eyes immediately turned cold. He glanced at Kuga and the others indifferently, then said in a low voice, "Is this true?"

He spoke very slowly, still sounding gentle. However, Kuga and the others paled and froze in fear. They had followed their leader for years and naturally knew how vicious and cruel his methods were!

If the leader really gets angry with them, that's what will happen to those broken limbs and bones in the dungeon...

Not wanting to let the atmosphere freeze, Kuga bravely stepped forward, his head lowered to his chest, a layer of cold sweat seeping from his forehead. "Leader, although there are reasons for this, we have offended the female and the high priest. We are willing to accept the punishment!"

The males behind him also lowered their heads in fear, cold sweat on their broad backs, their eyes filled with tension.

Lucius glanced at them with an unfathomable expression, and his gaze fell on Wen Shu's face again.

The female had a beautiful face, and was looking at Kuga and the others with a serious look on her face. She pursed her lips in displeasure, looking annoyed, but her amber eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of haze, making it difficult to see her true emotions.

He was equally adept at disguise, and his features were somewhat similar to that of the female...

Lucius lowered his eyes to hide the dark light in them, bent down and approached the female, and smiled, "Female, how do you want to punish them?"

"?"

Wen Shu, who was standing aside, couldn't help but be stunned. Why didn't the male protagonist play by the rules?

Although he is tactful in his dealings, he will not put himself in a passive position. Now that he is throwing the problem to her, isn't he afraid that she will propose to kill Kuga and the others?
Wen Shu looked at him and saw that he was smiling calmly, so she was a little unsure of what he meant.

Dealing with such a scheming orc was too exhausting. She should let the high priest handle the rest. It would be best for her to stay away from these things...

"I'm not hurt, but the high priest was quite frightened. You should go and discuss this with him."

She smiled, looked at the sky, and said with a little surprise: "It's already dinner time, and my husbands are still waiting for me to go home for dinner. I won't disturb them for now."

Without waiting for Lucius to answer, she walked out of the cave.

As he passed by Lucius, he heard a light male laugh beside his ear, "Aren't you going to report to the high priest?"

Wen Shu's eyes twitched, but he walked without any haste. He tilted his head, met Lucius' teasing eyes, and said seriously, "There's no conflict. Let's fill our stomachs first and then report back."

To prevent Lucius from saying anything more, she quickened her pace and heard Kuga's voice describing the recent situation behind her.

They were open and honest, not afraid that she would find out any secrets, but Wen Shu didn't want to be caught with any evidence, so she took a few steps away from the cave.

The voices of Lucius and the others had become quieter, but a few more voices were heard from the corner ahead.

Wen Shu's ears moved slightly, and she recognized Bai Qiao's voice, as well as the voices of several unfamiliar orcs. Among them, there was a female voice that sounded a little steady.

Bai Qiao's angry voice was getting closer and closer. "It's all Craig's fault. I'm never going to talk to him again when I get back this time!"

The mature female voice patiently soothed him, "Qiao Qiao, be good. You know Craig is very tired after becoming the leader. He has already explained to me that he was with the female Luo Jia that day just to handle official business."

Qiao Qiao? This familiar name...

Wen Shu took two steps forward, tiptoed and half of his head was exposed. After seeing who was around the corner, he widened his eyes slightly.
