CHAPTER 146: CHAPTER 146: BOARDED THE WRONG SHIP

In the dense forest near the coast, a rustling sound emerged as a group of robust, fierce-looking males pushed aside the obstructive underbrush, cursing in low voices.

The one-eyed Lion Beast at the front spat on the ground, "This is pathetic! Going crazy over a worthless female with low pregnancy value—Rah truly has lost it..."

Beside him, the Snake Beast turned pale and quickly tried to stop him, warning, "Keep your voice down, the leaders are just up ahead!"

"So what if they’re ahead? Rah has mental issues, and Lan Ze is just a paper tiger. Who knows what it’ll be like when we return to Black Thorn Valley..."

The Lion Beast’s face, covered in bloodstains, flashed with viciousness, "I can’t swallow this anger!"

He glanced at Lan Ze’s group disguised as a caravan in the distance, gritting his teeth with malice, and turned to pull a female into the bushes, ignoring her tear-streaked face.

"Cry! Are your claws just for show?"

Through his superpower, Lan Ze noticed their commotion, frowning deeply.

Beside him, Rah appeared dazed, mumbling, "I need to find the female..."

"Rah," Lan Ze grabbed his arm, trying to snap him out of it, "we need to return to the valley; that female will harm you!"

"She wouldn’t!"

Rah shook off his hand, his deep blue eyes scanning around, touching the scar on his shoulder, and muttered, "Those two ill-intentioned spiders did this, and..."

He pulled out a magnetic stone bead from his pocket, his sinister features coloring with a touch of joy, "She even gave me a gift!"

Upon seeing what he held, Lan Ze snatched it with a complicated expression, "A cunning female, no wonder your superpower failed."

"Give it back to me..."

Rah reached out angrily to grab it back but suddenly sensed something, straightening abruptly and scanning the surrounding woods, "She’s nearby!"

However, despite a frantic search, Rah could not find the female.

Disappointed, he withdrew his gaze, hanging his head, "Mother said wherever the female is, I should be there, be good to the female, be a good Beast Husband, not like Father..."

Rah recalled his terrible self once forcing a female, his mind flashing to his mother’s gentle face, his eyes reddening.

"Even if she hurts me, I deserve it!"

He regretfully held his head, whining like a child, "I’m a bad Beastman, Mother must be very disappointed in me, how did I become like this?"

Seeing his face full of pain and confusion, Lan Ze’s upward eyebrows lowered slightly, "Rah..."

He pressed his strong shoulder, recalling the evil deeds of these years, his long white eyelashes covering the struggling look in his eyes, "We had no choice."

He murmured softly, comforting Rah, also consoling himself.

As the atmosphere gradually settled, Lan Ze looked at Rah, feeling somewhat complicated.

Rah becoming like this might not be a bad thing; at least, there was some shadow of his childhood self.

After all these years, they had strayed further from their original path; perhaps that female could really change Rah?

"Rah, she..."

He opened his mouth, but Rah suddenly stood up.

"Oh! My leg!"

"Something’s been stolen! Someone’s stealing!"

A commotion broke out ahead, a familiar white glow flickering, and a female’s slightly cold voice drifted through, "No need to thank me for healing your leg, consider it my fee."

Immediately after, two dark figures dashed by at great speed, vanishing into the night in an instant.

"It’s the female!"

Without saying a word, Rah snatched back the magnetic stone bead from Lan Ze’s hand and ran off without hesitation.

Meanwhile, Wen Shu feared being caught; hearing a sound, she leaped into Wu Xuan’s arms, "Run quickly, get straight to the ship!"

Urged by the female, Wu Xuan bolted onto the nearest ship.

The towering ticket inspector glanced at them, yet before he could speak, the delicate female stuffed an entire bag of Crystal Coins into his hand.

Successfully boarding the deck, Wen Shu left Wu Xuan’s embrace and followed the staff into the cabin.

Behind them, Rah was blocked outside, angrily wanting to make a move but was stopped by the hurriedly arriving Lan Ze, "Buy a ticket first."

Inside the cabin adorned with Glazed Lamps, Rah couldn’t find the female, he ran upstairs, planning to knock on doors one by one.

Lan Ze had a splitting headache, "Throw away the magnetic stone in your hand..."

Seeing him about to grab again, Rah stubbornly refused to let go, "If you want it, do it yourself, don’t take mine."

Their voices were not low, and Wen Shu, who had just sat down and taken a sip of water, clearly heard it through the iron door.

The voice, why did it sound so much like Rah?

She dared not move, catching in her peripheral vision that sometime, Wu Xuan had torn open her robe, revealing his firm and sexy muscles, lunging at her boldly; she quickly covered his mouth.

"Shh—"

Wen Shu slowly stood up, leading Wu Xuan out the window, feet just touching the ground when the next second brought a knock on the door.

She tensely tightened her arm, dragging Wu Xuan along, crouching in the corridor, moving toward the room on the right.

"Female! Are you in there?"

The words had just left when there was a loud bang, and Wu Xuan also recognized whose voice it was, his restless golden eyes filled with devouring gloom.

Seeing him about to stand, Wen Shu hurriedly pulled him along, leading him into an empty room and heading straight for the toilet, scooping up clean sand and throwing it over their bodies.

Wu Xuan looked puzzled, "What’s this for?"

"There’s a scent, they’ll track us."

Wen Shu spoke concisely but was grabbed by the arm.

"I have a way."

Wu Xuan’s deep voice sounded, as her vision went black, her forehead hitting his hard chest, a scorching hand falling on her lower back, and the light overhead completely obscured.

Before she could react, a knocking sound came from the distance once more. She couldn’t see anything, only feeling Wu Xuan holding her as they moved with a soft clang.

"Have they gone?"

Wrapped in the robe, the confined space hot and murky, filled with the intense scent of male hormones.

Wen Shu pressed against his chest, feeling somewhat stuffy from the heat, her hand encasing his soft yet firm pecs, her face flushing hot.

Clearly, they were already a couple, yet she was still unaccustomed to this overly intimate physical contact...

"Not yet."

It wasn’t only she who was uncomfortable; Wu Xuan, his palm on her soft waist, kept feeling her chest emit waves of warm, feather-like breath, his lower abdomen almost bursting with heat.

He licked his parched lips, his coarse big hand restlessly slipping in from her waist corner, rubbing the female’s sensuous butterfly bone.

Wen Shu shuddered, hastily grabbing his misbehaving hand, lifting her eyes to stare at him, but collided with his dark eyes.

She felt an ominous premonition, trying to step back, but the hand on her waist held her tightly.

Wu Xuan’s handsome face suddenly magnified, her lip stung, but before any action could be taken, the door next door slammed shut with a bang.

Wen Shu, startled, pushed Wu Xuan away forcefully, hearing the sounds of a quarrel from the adjacent room.

"Lan Ze, I still haven’t found her!"

"I’ll help you look tomorrow; if we keep making a fuss like this, we’ll be caught. This ship is heading to the Kasadi Sea Area, have you forgotten we’re still wanted..."

The two went back and forth, and Wen Shu frowned as she listened. What were they saying, wasn’t this ship going to the Yisha Empire!
