Chapter 4 The Disfigured Beast Husband

Walking out of the cave, the evening breeze gently caressed the side of her face, and Wen Shu found that the moonlight above her head was completely blocked.

"The female master."

The male's pleasant call sounded overhead.

Wen Shu raised her head.

Under the deep night, a tall male with long light brown hair, wearing a robe made of white feathers, his face covered by a wooden mask, looked at her quietly.

His beautiful eyes were light yellow, with deep eye sockets and a clean and soft shape. When he looked at people without a smile, he seemed a little cold.

Being stared at by such eyes, Wen Shu's heart tightened, and she had an inexplicable illusion that all her secrets could not be hidden in front of him.

However, facing her silent gaze.

The male who had frightened her a second ago turned pale the next second. He moved away from the hole in panic and shrank into the corner. "I'm sorry, my dear wife, I forgot I was an eyesore and blocked your way. Please don't be angry..."

He deliberately lowered his voice, but the orcs with sensitive hearing still heard it.

A female came out of the cave not far away. Seeing Wen Shu, she stomped her feet twice on the spot, still unable to control her temper.

"Some people are just vicious! If it weren't for Nan's father, that ungrateful bastard would have died long ago. How could he still be so arrogant here?"

The female beast husband advised her, "Stop talking, be careful not to be heard..."

"I heard it! If you can do it, don't be afraid of being criticized. If she has the guts, go ahead and complain. Even if the leader favors her, he can't arrest me!"

After being criticized for a lot of things, Wen Shu finally dug out Nan from her memory.

When the original owner was a child, she was playful and ran into the dense forest alone and was almost eaten by a wild beast. It was Nan's father who saved her and sent her back to the tribe.

Chief Wenger was very grateful to them, so he arranged a marriage contract between the original owner and Nan under the witness of the Beast God.

Unable to refuse, and discovering on their wedding night that Nan's face was disfigured and covered with scars, the original owner was filled with rage.

So they forced him to wear a mask, and beat or scolded him when he was in a bad mood.

In the end, he was simply not allowed to appear in front of him.

What’s outrageous is that after three years, the original owner has never remembered his name!

Wen Shu glanced at Nan.

The male's broad back was hunched, his hands covering his head, his eyes trembling slightly, and he observed her movements cautiously, looking very pitiful.

Even so, this is very different from the first impression he gives people.

"I don't blame you, just get up first."

She took a few steps closer and reached out to pull him, but he suddenly took a few steps back, his body shaking uncontrollably.

Wen Shu froze. He didn't look like he was pretending. In his memory, the original owner had seen him being bullied by other orcs several times.

Maybe she is overthinking?
She reluctantly withdrew her hand and ordered coldly, "Get up and go home with me."

After saying that, she turned around and walked away. Only when she heard footsteps following her in the distance did she quicken her pace.

When we returned to the cave, Musil was still unconscious.

Wen Shu glanced at him from a distance and stopped at the hall outside the cave with Nan.

"sit."

Wen Shu sat on the stone bench and pointed to the other side.

The male glanced at her and saw that her expression was relatively gentle, so he sat down obediently.

Wen Shu organized her words and said, "Nan, as far as I know, we haven't become a couple yet, right?"

Nan met her calm gaze, his expression startled, but he nodded quickly.

Having dispelled the last bit of worry, Wen Shu went straight to the point, "Since we are in name only, do you want to leave?"

"Do not--"

Nan's pupils constricted and he stood up suddenly.

Wen Shu looked at him calmly and interrupted, "I'm serious. It wasn't until I met Musier that I realized how bad I was before."

"I apologize for my past behavior and will give you appropriate compensation. Please give me this opportunity."

She stood up and bowed deeply.

Nan stared at her for two seconds, the panic in his eyes deepening.

"No!" He shook his head vigorously, his voice trembling with anxiety. "I won't leave... Mistress, this is all my fault. I will be more obedient in the future and will never appear in front of you again. Please don't chase me away! I, I will die!"

In the animal world, most males abandoned by their partners end up in a miserable state. They either cannot bear the oppression of public opinion or become stray animals due to mental violence.

Although they didn't get married...

But he didn't believe that the female would suddenly change her temperament.

"Nan, before I send you away, I can heal your face. Then no one in the tribe will be able to recognize you, and no one will remember that you were engaged to me." Wen Shu was a little puzzled by Nan's fierce reaction.

Wen Shu had considered everything he was worried about.

In the beast world, beastmen who have never mated will not leave each other's scent. Even if they are spiritually bonded, there will be no impact after the bond is broken.

The original owner was indeed absurd, but he would never get these common sense wrong.

After hearing her words, Nan's face turned pale, his body staggered, and he ran into the cave on the right in panic.

When he came out again, he knelt straight in front of Wen Shu, begging with red eyes, holding a long whip in his hand, "If the lady is unhappy, beat me like before, as long as you can forgive me! Please, don't drive me away!"

His voice became smaller and smaller, his head drooped almost into his chest, and his shoulders trembled slightly with fear.

"..."

Wen Shu glanced at the black whip covered with barbs, and her mood was indescribable.

The case was solved. It wasn't that the contract couldn't be broken, but the original owner's vicious image was too deeply engraved in Nan's mind, and Nan didn't believe her at all.

Forget it, this is not something that can be solved in a short time anyway.

Wen Shu sighed in his heart and reached out to take the whip.

The tail of the whip fell to the ground, leaving a shallow scratch.

Seeing Nan's body tremble, she used both hands to roll up the whip and threw it out of the cave, "Alright, I'm tired."

Then, under Nan's surprised gaze, he looked around the cave while yawning.

As the chief's only cub, her cave is the best-lit and most spacious in the entire tribe.

The overall shape of the cave is a "丰" character. In order to maintain air circulation, the top of the cave in the center is open to the sky. Further in, on the left is the kitchen and two empty storage holes, and on the right is a main hole and two secondary holes for sleeping.

Wen Shu pointed to the innermost secondary cave and said, "You can live there from now on. You don't have to hide from me anymore."

After saying that, without waiting for Nan's response, he quickly walked into the main cave.

A gust of night wind blew, the fire was extinguished, and the cave became darker.

After confirming that the female had left, Nan lowered his brows, stood up with a cold expression, and patted the dirt off his feather robe.

Could a female who is naturally cruel and violent change her nature in an instant?

Nan sighed softly, raising his hand to wipe away the dried tears at the corners of his eyes.

So what? It doesn't matter.

People should always pay the price for their actions.

He looked towards the main cave with a cold gaze, his tall figure stood still for a moment, and then walked out of the cave in the pale moonlight.

-----

In the main cave, Wen Shu sat on the edge of the stone bed, staring at Musier in a trance.

The male's skin was cold white, smooth from his chest to his lower abdomen, as if the golden tattoo she had seen was an illusion.

But the fact is, they did get married.

As for the method...

The only possibility is the spiritual connection she formed with Musil when she cast the soul-stealing spell.

It is necessary to draw a line between herself and Musil, but no action should be taken rashly until she is able to protect herself.

Putting aside the high-intensity training in Doomsday, her physique is closely related to her ability level.

But the original owner's mental strength was too low, and her abundant power was suppressed and could not be released at all. At this moment, except for her combat experience, her physical fitness was not much different from before the end of the world.

If they were in danger, Musil would not only not take action due to the bond of their partnership, but would also protect her for his own life.

Besides, she still had to treat Musil, so it wouldn't be too late to terminate the contract later.

After thinking about the current situation, his tense nerves finally relaxed. Wen Shu pulled a fur blanket from the bed and fell asleep on the stone table in the corner, his posture still alert as usual.

-

In the early morning, the tribe became lively again, with the sound of chaotic footsteps and voices, mixed with one or two excited animal calls.

Wen Shu was abruptly woken up and the first thing he did was to reach for the pistol at hand.

After not finding it for a long time, I opened my eyes and saw the smooth stone wall and the shaking wooden chandelier above my head. Then I vaguely remembered that I had traveled through time.

She turned over and sat up, scratched her itchy hair, and saw the male opposite her with an ugly expression.

Musier propped himself up on the edge of the stone bed, not knowing how long he had been awake. When his eyes met hers, his already stern expression became even colder, with a sharp murderous intent hidden in his eyes.

A strong sense of oppression came over him, and Wen Shu suddenly sobered up a bit, "You're awake..."
