CHAPTER 14: CHAPTER 14: THE VILLAIN’S TWISTED SENSE OF HUMOR

The tree hollow descended into an eerie silence, only the faint crackling of flames was audible.

In the corner’s grass nest, the female was wrapped in a torn dark beast pelt, her long hair clinging damply to her face. Her pale, delicate face had bright eyes, like a tame white cat.

Luo Fei encountered the female on the road while meeting up with his subordinates. He noticed her scent was clean, and she looked quite appealing, likely to attract many males, so he conveniently brought her back.

However, he had plundered dozens of tribes, those spoiled and pampered females would either curse sharply or make futile struggles.

He had never seen a female bound yet remaining so obedient and docile, or perhaps so... naïve and foolish.

Luo Fei stretched out his limbs, leaning against the grass heap opposite the female, his eyebrow slightly raised with a teasing intent, "Yes, I did save you. It’s pouring outside, and bringing you back here was both time consuming and tiring, so..."

His gaze fell on the female’s snow-white face, casually tapping his fingers on his knee as if troubled, he asked, "Little female, how do you plan to repay me?"

Wen Shu’s mind stalled for a moment; she hadn’t expected Luo Fei to actually admit it.

In the book, this guy’s image is one of a capricious villain, either murdering or on the way to murder, occasionally torturing and abusing enemies.

What’s going on now?

Suppressing the doubt in her mind, Wen Shu immediately widened her eyes and answered sincerely, "What does my benefactor want? I’m quite wealthy, as long as you get me back to the tribe, you can take anything from my cave!"

Hmm... pots, pans, and furniture can be picked freely.

Luo Fei watched her earnest look with a dried grass on her head, and the malicious intent sprouted even more in his heart.

Such a well-behaved little female would surely cry interestingly.

His gaze darkened, he slowly approached the female, crouching down in front of her, his lips curving, "I don’t need these things."

His eyes locked onto the female with a bit of interest, "You just need to take my brothers as your Beast Husband, and we’re even, what do you say?"

Their distance suddenly shortened, with his breath sweeping across Wen Shu’s face.

She resisted the urge to lean back, extended a finger to push away the male and nodded with a full smile, "Of course, I will treat them very well!"

Being pushed away by the female, Luo Fei’s eyes sharpened, he glanced at Wen Shu’s hand and got up to step back.

Just as he turned his head, he paused and smiled as if remembering something, "Did I forget to tell you, my brothers only take females as trophy mates, since you agreed, come back to my ’tribe’ with me."

Wen Shu: ...

Preliminary diagnosis, the villain is bored and has a peculiar taste.

Both were silent for a while, seeing the female’s expression change slightly, the smile on Luo Fei’s face deepened, he asked solemnly, "You said you wanted to repay, don’t tell me you’re unwilling?"

Under his gaze, the female was stunned for a few seconds, then glanced at the vines around her limbs, her eyes and nose turning red.

When she raised her eyes again, they were filled with terror, tears the size of beans fell quickly, finally realizing he wasn’t a good person!

"Hehe—"

His malicious intent satisfied, Luo Fei snickered, comfortably lying back on the grass nest, he rested with his arms underneath.

Just as he was about to close his eyes for a nap, the female’s small voice buzzed.

"Also okay, but can I often go home to visit?"

Now it was Luo Fei’s turn to be stunned.

He sat up, suspicious gaze landing on the female’s damp face, his eyes turned cold, lips quirked, he threatened with a sinister tone, "Foolish... I am a Blood Beast, to capture you to be a female for my brothers, do you understand now?"

Seeing his expression as if looking at an idiot, Wen Shu took a breath for two seconds but quickly returned to calmness, raising her face with a naïve question, "Isn’t it also about having a Beast Husband? I don’t mind, it’s the same anywhere, not going home is fine..."

She muttered a few words softly, her tone sincere enough to almost convince herself!

Luo Fei’s face turned completely cold, for the first time feeling defeat, he had never encountered someone not at all afraid of Blood Beast.

Grinding his back teeth, seeing the female boldly lie back into the grass nest, his mood became indescribably complicated.

Hopefully, she can remain so calm by then.

Late at night, rain still patters outside.

The cold moisture invaded the tree hollow, extinguishing the last bit of warmth.

Wen Shu lay in the grass nest, remaining awake, her movements awkward as she curled up, vigilantly observing the male not far away, skillfully unraveling the vine tightly wrapped around her ankle.

The grass nest soaked by rain, occasionally touched, making soft sounds covered by the rain.

Yet the Beastman’s hearing was overly keen, just as she untied the first knot, the originally sleeping male suddenly opened his eyes and turned towards her!

Wen Shu’s heart pounded fiercely, she quickly stuffed the vine back, closing her eyes tight, hugging her knees in response.

Luo Fei looked her up and down in one glance, forcefully grabbing her arm, he asked with a somber expression, "What are you doing?"

Wen Shu slowly opened her eyes to look at him, as if just woken up, shrinking her neck in the cold wind, her body couldn’t help shivering, "So... so cold."

She raised her bound hand, pitifully asking, "Can you, can you untie this or cover me with some grass? At least it’ll be a bit warmer..."

Seeing her lips frighteningly pale, Luo Fei felt a headache, females are so fragile and troublesome, a bit of chill turns them into this.

He was slightly worried she might get sick but decisively refused, "No."

Upon hearing his words, the female’s clear eyes clouded, her lips pulled down, sorrow visible on her pretty face.

Her long lashes trembled, with a choking response, "Alright, I get it..."

The quivering tail tone brushing over the heart, Luo Fei’s heart inexplicably tightened.

He stared at the female unblinkingly, watching her obediently lie back into the grass nest, only feeling that the arm he held was cold as ice.

Would she really get sick?

Luo Fei pouted, what’s the point of such obedience... aren’t you afraid of freezing to death?

"Tsk, so troublesome!"

He felt inexplicable annoyance flooding him, directly lying down next to the female, with his long arm sweeping over, pulling her into his embrace.

Her back pressed against the male’s hot chest, Wen Shu froze completely, trying to struggle with hands and feet, yet the arm around her waist held her tighter.

The male’s hot breath spilled over her ear, giving a slightly helpless warning, "Don’t move around, okay?"

Her ear tip felt tingly numbness, Wen Shu obediently stopped moving, but her brows furrow so tightly they could pinch a fly dead.

In the previous life, she was single from birth till graduation, just got a job when the world got chaotic, not having time for romance.

To this day, it’s the first time being held asleep by a man, especially by the villain! Wasn’t he supposed to watch indifferently, why did he cuddle?!

Just as she was doubting life, her cheek was pinched by a big hand, Luo Fei turned her face around, whispering, "Female, what’s your name? From which Beastman Tribe?"

Wen Shu felt some pain from the pinch, but the other’s enlarged handsome face was nearly touching her nose tip, afraid of revealing flaws, she endured dutifully answering, "Uhh, I am... Bai Shu from the Rabbit Beast Clan."

"Rabbit Beast, Bai Shu." Luo Fei muttered, releasing his grip on her, no wonder so obedient... and soft, "If you are always so obedient, I won’t force you to take a Beast Husband."

Wen Shu: Thank you.

Though, after this ordeal, she suddenly realized, the big villain likes obedient ones, no wonder this unusual behavior!

Wen Shu nestled in the male’s arms nodded, but unfortunately, she was acting obedient, being downright rebellious and vengeful.
