CHAPTER 125: CHAPTER 125: COME WITH ME

Luo Fei lowered his gaze, noticing the hidden anxiety in her clear eyes, a trace of sweetness emerged within his lips and teeth.

He slightly raised his eyebrows, a joyful smile curved his lips, and he said confidently, "You can’t bear to leave me."

Wen Shu was worried about being discovered, but seeing his proud and fearless demeanor, she felt a sense of anomaly.

But before she could think further, Bai Qiao’s faint cries, having regained some strength, sounded not far away, "They! They’re over there!"

As her words fell, a heavy and chaotic sound of footsteps rushed directly towards their direction.

Wen Shu furrowed her brows slightly, feeling that being caught would make things uncontrollable.

And as she hesitated, Luo Fei tightened his arm slightly, then swiftly dodged to the other side.

He wasn’t familiar with the dark alleyways, almost crashing into dead ends several times. Wen Shu’s heart pounded fiercely as she clung to his neck, constantly looking back.

Fortunately, the group of guards, like headless flies, chased chaotically after them.

Not knowing how long they wandered, they finally circled back to the coliseum.

A match had just ended, and Beastmen were leaving through the exit.

Luo Fei charged through, causing the surrounding Beastmen to curse, but their indifferent attitude indicated it wasn’t their first encounter with such a situation.

The chaotic building gradually faded into the distance, and the pursuing guards were left far behind.

Wen Shu withdrew her gaze, taking a deep breath of fresh air to calm her nerves, then looked up at the male above her.

Coincidentally, as Luo Fei slowed down, he also lowered his gaze to look at her.

As their eyes met, Luo Fei’s pupils slightly dilated as if his heart was struck, suddenly quickening its pace.

The golden afterglow fell on Wen Shu’s gentle face, casting a dreamlike, hazy glow, astoundingly beautiful.

The surrounding chaotic sounds momentarily vanished, leaving only his chaotic heartbeat and the gentle breathing of the female by his ear.

"Wen Shu," his lips moved as he heard himself softly ask, "Come with me, please?"

His earnest words were dispersed by the gentle breeze, but Wen Shu heard them clearly.

In her sight, the male stood against the light, his sharply contoured face revealing sincere gentleness under the dim shadows.

Wen Shu stared into his deep eyes, momentarily stunned.

She didn’t expect him to ask for her opinion, considering how self-willed he was the last time they parted.

Seeing her silent, Luo Fei’s long eyelashes trembled slightly, his leisurely voice carrying a hint of urgency, "Whatever you mind, I can change it, as for your Beast Husbands..."

He frowned, his face turning slightly unpleasant, bit his lip, and compromised through gritted teeth, "I can tolerate them."

Hearing what he said, Wen Shu felt a flash of surprise in her heart.

But facing the pair of expectant red eyes, she made a decisive choice to refuse, "I can’t go with you."

The words Luo Fei hadn’t finished saying got stuck in his throat, the smile in his eyes gradually dimming.

His lips tightened but he didn’t give up, his gaze heavy as he looked into her firm eyes, questioning word by word, "I don’t believe you feel nothing for me."

Wen Shu’s long eyelashes trembled as she opened her mouth to refute, but being directly stared at by his dark eyes, she felt an inexplicable guilt.

Unable to comprehend the source of this emotion, she turned her face away, avoiding his sharp gaze, and said in a deep voice, "No, you’re overthinking."

But just this evasive action caused Luo Fei’s tense lip line to soften slightly, almost imperceptibly.

Suppressing the dark joy rising in his heart, he slightly raised his eyebrows, letting out a deep sigh filled with regret, "Sigh, alright, then I’ll first send you home. Where are you staying now?"

His easy concession took Wen Shu by surprise.

But she was even more puzzled by how he dared to wander around Beast City so openly?

She had observed that in Yasen City, not only were there Body Inspection Stones installed at the city gates, but also at major castles, and even residential areas required identity verification to enter.

"I can go by myself, you should leave quickly."

She shook her head, attempting to jump back to the ground, but the hand around her bent leg only tightened more firmly.

Luo Fei’s eyes glimmered with amusement, his lips curved, muttering softly, "And you say you don’t like me... little liar."

His voice was as small as a mosquito’s buzz, Wen Shu didn’t catch it, only hearing the last few words.

She looked up in confusion, only for Luo Fei to embrace her tightly again, stepping towards the mouth of the alley, his lazy voice leisurely drifting, "Don’t worry, I have ways to conceal my identity, no one in the city can recognize me."

"I’ll be staying in Beast City for a while, where do you live? I’ll bring you food in the morning. It’s been how long since we last met, and you’ve become so thin. Do your Beast Husbands not take care of people..."

Listening to his rambling, Wen Shu’s taut nerves slowly relaxed.

The warm afterglow on her face was comfortingly drowsy.

As she looked at the bustling streets of Beast City, she suppressed her doubts about Luo Fei, starting to recall Bai Qiao’s strange behavior.

The only explanation she could think of was that there was a male with a Spiritual Ability in the city...

As soon as this thought emerged, an abrupt silence engulfed the surroundings. Luo Fei’s body stiffened strangely for a few seconds before suddenly rushing into the dark alley with her in his arms!

Wen Shu’s heart skipped a beat as she looked up at him, only to see his dark red eyes becoming dull and empty, veins bulging at his temples as he painfully resisted something.

She grasped his tense arm, wanting to help, but a slight sound came from behind her.

Wen Shu’s body stiffened slightly, a chill creeping up her back.

At this moment, a gentle force silently pressed against her shoulder, "Ashu."

The male’s gentle and hoarse voice lowly sounded from behind.

A strong and powerful arm wrapped around her soft waist, pulling her out of Luo Fei’s embrace.

Wen Shu was stunned for a few seconds, allowing the newcomer to hold her tightly.

She looked up at the male, seeing a familiar yet unfamiliar handsome face surrounded by fluffy white feathers, gradually illuminated by the warm glow.

Wen Shu opened her mouth slightly, "Nan..."

Hearing her call his name, the male’s deep eyes curved slightly, those pale yellow eyes shrouded in black mist revealing a touch of gentle reassurance.

"Don’t be afraid," his red lips curved into a cold arc, "I won’t let him take you."

As his words fell, he slightly raised his chin, sending a gaze full of cold intent towards Luo Fei.

"In the tribe, it was this Blood Beast that took you."

His lips parted slightly, coolly uttering a few words, causing Luo Fei’s face to suddenly turn pale.

Unclear what he saw, his brows furrowed tightly as he tried to resist Nan’s control.

However, within moments, red tears streaked down his eyes, his body filled with a desolate aura, "Wen Shu!"

Seeing him like this, Wen Shu’s heart tightened, hurriedly holding Nan’s arm, "Nan?"

In the corner of her eye, Luo Fei painfully gritted his teeth, his arm covered with a layer of cold, shining black scales.

He raised his hand, his face ashen, and pressed his sharp black claws against his neck, "Damn it, it’s me..."

Wen Shu’s breath hitched, clenching Nan’s arm as she sternly commanded, "Don’t kill him!"
