After knocking down five beastly men, the vicious female escaped

Chapter 49: Asking Her to Become a Slave
In the dim darkness, Wen Shu was thrown heavily to the ground. Her tailbone made a crisp sound, and her spine hit the protruding rocks. The sharp pain woke her up.

She opened her eyes reluctantly, and saw a piece of rough cloth with a faint glow of fire streaming in from the cracks. When she lowered her gaze, she found that her hands and feet were bound by sticky silver-white silk threads, and she was curled up in a familiar khaki bundle.

It was Lucius who captured her.

Before she could think, a flurry of footsteps approached, and Kuga's anxious voice rang out, "Chief, I don't know how this female provoked those blood beasts! Now the dense forest is full of their people, and their numbers are increasing!"

As soon as he finished speaking, another pair of hurried footsteps rushed into the cave.

The young male panted twice, his voice heavy with sorrow. "Chief, five members of the detachment have died, and the others have been seriously injured. I'm afraid it won't be long before the blood beasts come looking for us."

The males finished speaking, but Lucius didn't respond immediately.

The tree hole fell into silence. Kuga and the male lowered their heads, and their eyes occasionally glanced at the bundle in the corner.

They all knew there was a female inside, but no one understood why the leader wanted to capture her.

They originally thought that the leader was in love, but when the leader dragged the female from the cave entrance into the cave and threw her into the corner without mercy, they gave up the idea.

But the leader was moody, so they didn't dare to ask.

Lucius remained expressionless despite hearing the successive bad news. After a brief moment of thought, he ordered, "Send back the injured males. The others..."

He walked to the corner, tore open the spider silk at the mouth of the bundle, pulled out the still unconscious Wen Shu, and handed the bundle to her, "Take this and lead the blood beast away."

The young male immediately took over, rushed out of the tree hole in three or two steps and ran away, and Kuga also left.

The cave became quiet again.

Wen Shu closed her eyes tightly, her collar was tightly grasped by a big hand. She couldn't see anything, and all her senses were focused in front of her.

The male's heartbeat was light and powerful, and his faint breath hit the side of her face. She could feel a cold gaze piercing her face.

Just as she was hesitating whether to wake up, crackling sparks suddenly exploded, and a hand colder than ice pinched her face.

Lucius' eyes were dark, and his patrolling gaze slowly slid from Wen Shu's eyebrows to her lips, and finally landed on the corner of her gentle eyes. He murmured to himself, "They really look alike..."

His voice was gentle, but the strength between his fingers seemed to tear people's skin apart. Wen Shu resisted the urge to frown, his heart filled with doubts.

Who does she resemble?
Is this why Lucius keeps chasing me?

Lucius, as perceptive as he was, immediately caught the trembling of her eyelids. He stared at her face, his eyes revealing a biting malice. With a faint smile, he whispered, "Stop pretending."

Wen Shu's body froze, and before she opened her eyes, she felt a stinging pain on the side of her face, and a wet warmth slid down her face.

She suddenly opened her eyes and looked up to meet Lucius's gaze. His face was close at hand, his expression still gentle, but his blood-red eyes flashed with bloodthirsty excitement.

Wen Shu saw her own face in the video. A deep wound was scratched across her slightly tired cheek. Blood was oozing out from her face, staining the male's pale fingertips red...

A dense chill crept up her back, and her throat felt dry. She forced herself to be rational and asked warily, "Lucius, why did you arrest me?"

The male heard her words clearly, but didn't respond. He stared at the winding streak of blood, his breathing quickening slightly. He slowly raised his fingertips and smeared the blood all over the female's face. He watched her snow-white skin bloom with blood, his pupils trembling with excitement.

His eyes grew darker, and a smile grew stronger at the corners of his lips. "Ah, why did I arrest you? It was just because I saw your face and felt that you were very suitable to go to Beast City..."

He looked into Wen Shu's eyes and said word by word: "Be the most humble slave."

Ban slavery?

Wen Shu couldn't help but frown. Just as there were slaves in the imperial era, there would also be slaves banned in the Beast City.

However, the forbidden slaves in the Beast City are often males. They are treated as commodities by the nobles and can be bought, sold and discarded at will. They have no freedom and no dignity!

She felt disgusted and was even more confused about where the male's dislike for her came from. However, the next second, Lucius answered her question.

There were no other orcs around, so he completely removed his disguise and nervously pinched Wen Shu's face, pressing his fingertips against the corners of her eyes. "Since you are my forbidden slave, I should give you a name that matches your identity! Let's call you..."

He slightly widened his eyes and squeezed out a word from between his teeth, "Lan."

Hearing this word, Wen Shu's heart sank.

orchid!
Of course she remembered the name. In order to whitewash the male protagonists, the author wrote a special chapter for each of them.

Lan's name appeared almost throughout Lucius's childhood.

Before becoming the leader of the tribe, Lucius lost his parents and was adopted by his uncle's family.

He was young and weak, but the Spider Clan believed in the law of the jungle, so he was naturally ostracized and bullied. Once, he was even almost pushed into the river and drowned by his cousin.

At this time, Lan appeared, she rescued him, and took him home to take care of him.

At first, Lucius was moved by her tenderness, but he didn't expect that this was the beginning of a nightmare.

This female fox has a dark and twisted personality. She likes to abuse beautiful children and watch them struggling in pain with bruises all over their bodies. Lucius has become her most beautiful plaything!
After seven years of torture, Lucius grew up in a dark and bloody dungeon. Finally one day, he killed the fox beast despite the risk of being attacked.

To avoid being discovered, he chopped the fox beast into several pieces and carefully threw them into the dense forest in batches...

But at this moment, Lucius named her "Lan".

Why did the original owner look like her? In the novel, Lucius never met the original owner, let alone mentioned this!
Wen Shu tensed her back, and looking at Lucius's excited eyes, she felt that he was like a demon that was seeking revenge!

Did he want to dismember her too?
She had no doubt about it. Lucius was ruthless even to ordinary sin beasts, let alone her, his "enemy".

But she doesn't want to die here yet!
Thinking of this, she secretly clenched her fists, made up her mind, and looked straight into Lucius's eyes, "Lucius, I want to talk to you..."

The female's calm gaze dispelled the shadow between her eyebrows that was similar to Lan. The smile on Lucius's face broke, and he felt angry. Doesn't this female know the meaning of banning slaves?

If any other female had been insulted like this, she would have probably wanted to kill him, but she still had the mind to talk to him?
