After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 45: The Lingering Lucius
A large, cold hand gripped Wen Shu's shoulders tightly, forcing her to stop.

Being held down by the familiar force again, my good mood was instantly broken.

She pursed her lips, not understanding how she had offended the hero, and why he came back to haunt her again.

Because of Lucius's sudden arrival, all the males in the cave came to the outer hall, trying to drive the female away before she woke up.

But they didn't expect that this seemingly gentle and polite male would be so shameless. Not only did he refuse to leave, but he also followed the female happily after seeing her!

Wu Xuan, who had just had close contact with the female, couldn't bear it at all. Yesterday, this spider shamelessly stuck to the female, and it dared to do it again today?
Besides, the females didn’t want to see him at all!
"Get your dirty hands off!"

Wu Xuan lowered his brows, and pulled Lucius's hand away aggressively. He stretched out his long arm to pull Wen Shu into his arms, and in two or three steps he sat down at the stone table in the outer hall.

Lucius was thrown away at the entrance of the cave and staggered a few steps weakly. Seeing this, Kuga hurried forward to support him.

"No need." After stabilizing himself against the wall, Lucius shook his head slightly.

He sat down opposite Wen Shu, not looking angry. Instead, he stared at the female's face, with a faint curve at the corners of his eyes, but the smile did not reach his eyes at all.

Wen Shu didn't notice his gaze. She sat down and found that the outer hall was full of people and the atmosphere was a bit strange.

Her three nominal beast husbands were all there. Nan was sitting on her left. When he saw her sit down next to him, he gently pushed the food he had prepared earlier in front of her, then stared at Lucius and his group with a cold expression.

Wu Xuan held her waist tightly, as if he was afraid that she would be taken away.

And Musir had been sitting on the stone bench on the right. Ever since he glanced at her and Wu Xuan, he stared at Kuga and the others with a cold look. His aura was even more indifferent than before, which could freeze a person to death.

On the other hand, Kuga and his group on the opposite side seemed to be at ease. They seemed unaware of the cave owners' unwelcome attitude and even had hypocritical smiles on their faces.

Everyone was in a silent stalemate, and the atmosphere was quite tense.

Wen Shu was about to break the strange silence, but Lucius got there first.

Lucius's rather weak voice echoed slowly in the cave, "Female Wen Shu, I was beaten by your beastly husbands yesterday. The pain was so severe that I couldn't sleep well all night."

As he spoke, he raised his shoulders, his face suddenly turned pale, and his broad body trembled in pain, "I'll trouble you to treat me again."

He slightly raised his eyelids and glanced at the males beside Wen Shu. He endured the pain and leaned over the table. He placed his pale arm in front of Wen Shu and opened his thin lips, "Is it okay?"

His shoulder was bleeding from being pulled, staining his light-colored robe. His face was pale, and his snow-white eyelashes were trembling slightly, making him look very pitiful.

Seeing his posture, Wen Shu was stunned where she was.

Lucius's behavior is so familiar. He used the same trick to seduce the heroine, so why is he using it on her now!

Love at first sight? Impossible. He's the most difficult of the male protagonists.

In the novel, the heroine sacrificed her body and soul, spending countless days and nights to help him unravel the shadow of his childhood, and finally opened his heart.

But she didn't do anything and even let her beastly husband beat her. Why would he suddenly come and show his affection to her?

Wen Shu looked at Lucius for a few seconds. Unable to understand his thoughts, she grabbed his wrist and decided to test it out.

Seeing that she actually took Lucius's hand, Wu Xuan, who was hugging her tightly, tightened his arms and said, "Female?" He had been waiting for the female to reject him harshly, but how could the female...

Feeling a tightening around her waist, Wen Shu turned around to look at Wu Xuan. The male pursed his lips and actually listened to her words and stopped hiding his emotions, looking resentful.

Fearing that he might be suspicious, Wen Shu gently patted his hand, gave him a reassuring smile, and then carefully examined Lucius's injuries.

As she thought, most of the injuries she treated Lucius for yesterday had fully recovered. At such a fast self-healing rate, his shoulder injury could not have been unhealed.

Lucius must have torn the wound himself, but any female with a healing mind would have noticed that.

Unable to figure out his purpose, Wen Shu wanted to see what he was trying to do.

So he let go of her hand and asked, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do by coming to see me?"

Lucius's eyelashes trembled, and he wanted to pretend again, but Wen Shu stopped him directly, "You hurt yourself, didn't you?"

Seeing her reaction, Lucius froze in embarrassment, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he withdrew his hand with an evasive look.

He lowered his eyes and thought for a while, then clenched his fingers on the edge of the table and stole a glance at Wen Shu, "I just..."

His lips moved slightly, as if he wanted to say something but hesitated. After being silent for a while, he closed his eyes, as if he had finally made up his mind.

When he looked at Wen Shu again, a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes, and his gentle voice trembled slightly, "Female Wen Shu, I want to pursue you and be your beast husband."

The sudden confession made Wu Xuan sneer. He knew that this guy had bad intentions.

If there were other orcs present at this moment and had seen Lucius's intimate behavior towards the female yesterday, they would definitely have noticed that he wanted to pursue the female.

But Wen Shu looked directly into those glowing blood-red eyes and felt that Lucius was extremely hypocritical.

Tsk, she met her match. This male protagonist is even more pretentious than her.

But she was really confused. He wasted so much energy on her. What exactly did he want to do?
If you are interested in her abilities, you can definitely recruit her.

If you want to harm her, there are countless ways to do it. Why do you have to use such a self-defeating method?
Seeing Wen Shu remained silent, Lucius sat up straight, his calm voice a little nervous, "Bring everything up."

Kuga and others immediately went outside the cave, and soon came in carrying more than a dozen bags, which they placed in front of Wen Shu one by one. There were fifteen bags of jewels and crystal coins, which illuminated the cave a little.

Lucius cleared his throat, stood up, and held Wen Shu's hand, his eyes expressing his true feelings. "Female Wen Shu, I tossed and turned last night, and all I could think about was you."

Wen Shu wanted to pull her hand away, but he held it tightly.

Lucius's gentle and mature face revealed the eagerness of a young boy. "Please let me be your beast husband. I am the leader of the Spider Clan and I am in charge of a major city!"

"Life there is much more prosperous than in the tribe. As long as you accept me, you can bring your beast husbands to live in my residence."

He glanced at the males behind Wen Shu, then raised his hand and pointed at the glittering golden bundles, whispering temptingly, "And these jewels and money. If you want them, I will give you the most beautiful jewels, and even the money of an entire Beast City!"

He leaned closer to Wen Shu, a gloomy glint flashed across his eyes, and a bewitching smile appeared on the corner of his lips. He whispered, "Accept me, female. I can give you everything you want..."
