CHAPTER 71: CHAPTER 71: MIOUS IN DIRE STRAITS

Flying south from the wasteland all the way, Wen Shu lay exhausted on the back of the Snowy Owl, looking down below.

Peaks rose up abruptly, and the biting cold wind cut like a blade on her cheeks, causing a stinging pain.

After soaring over these high peaks, the mountains gradually became fewer, but the trees grew increasingly dense and lush. She vaguely saw a village built in a lowland, filled with stone houses.

As they got closer, Wen Shu saw groups of Beastmen gradually returning to the tribe.

It was the army from Beast City and the tribal warriors who had just left the Blood Alliance.

The position of the Blood Alliance is easy to defend and hard to attack. Many males have been seriously injured, and the tribe’s guards are waiting at the entrance, using wooden racks to send the wounded into a dome-shaped stone house.

This trip also rescued many females, and the males with lighter injuries were solemly protecting them in the middle.

Only upon entering the tribe, did the vigilance on their faces slowly recede.

The two landed not far from the entrance.

Wen Shu observed the group of Beastmen and immediately saw Belinda, who was embracing Edon and crying, with several Beast Husbands behind her, watching her with concern.

However, the female named Domi was not among this group of Beastmen.

Thinking of her experience, Wen Shu couldn’t help but ask, "Nan, how many females were rescued this time?"

Nan stood by her side, seeing her gaze searching among the females, understanding that she was looking for someone.

But the leader of the Blood Alliance was extremely cautious. Even though their attack was sudden, that group of well-trained Blood Beasts still abducted more than half of the females during their retreat.

He gently pressed Wen Shu’s shoulder, saying regretfully, "Ashu, all the rescued females are here."

Wen Shu withdrew her gaze; this was less than half, but...

She lowered her eyes, remembering the females in the Blood Alliance.

During the retreat of the Blood Alliance, it was estimated that most of the females cooperated, and although Luo Fei’s methods to eliminate E Jia were despicable, he did indeed provide them with some assurance.

Just not knowing whether E Jia’s rebellion was true; if he became the leader, the Blood Alliance might become the next Black Thorn Valley.

She felt somewhat fortunate to have healed Luo Fei’s injury; at least when he returned to the Blood Alliance, those females could fare a little better.

"Wen Shu!"

While pondering, a deep voice suddenly rang out behind her.

Two icy palms pressed on her shoulders, pulling Wen Shu slightly back, but a hand swiftly intercepted beside her, stopping the stranger’s arm, protecting her firmly.

She turned her head, her sight blocked by a broad back, only hearing Nan’s cold warning, "Don’t be handsy."

Wen Shu poked her head from behind him, seeing Mious with reddened eyes.

He looked rather battered, his beast skin had been slashed open in several places during the fight, oozing with blood, his hair stained with dried gore.

Perhaps due to excessive blood loss, his stern face was pale as paper, with large dark circles under his eyes.

Now blocked by Nan, he frowned, his emerald eyes shimmering with cold light, "Nan, you..."

Before he could finish, several males rushed out of the stone house, asking around anxiously.

"Any Healing System females? The leader has fainted again!"

Belinda, standing closest, immediately followed the males into the stone house, while the remaining males approached the females.

"Are there any High-level Healing System females, please come and help quickly!"

Upon hearing their calls, Mious’s face froze momentarily; he took a few steps, pushing Nan aside and grabbing Wen Shu’s hand.

He leaned down slightly, gazing directly at Wen Shu, his always calm eyes revealing a hint of tension, "Female, you..."

Alright?

Mious parted his lips but, looking into the female’s puzzled eyes, his ears suddenly felt warm, baffled by a slight embarrassment.

He had been so indifferent to the female earlier; suddenly showing concern, would it be too abrupt?

Swallowing his words, he awkwardly changed his tone, "...can you help treat the leader? He is my cousin."

Seeing his hesitation, Wen Shu assumed he was embarrassed to ask for her help, she graciously nodded, "Of course, I can."

Her eyes curved gently, lips forming an arc, "Besides, you saved me; consider this my way of repaying your kindness."

Upon speaking, she headed towards the stone house, leaving Mious’s heart racing.

He stood dazedly in place, his mind filled with the sunset scene of the female’s soft and shimmering eyes.

He never knew that her smile could be so beautiful...

Seeing Wen Shu walk towards the stone house, the young males of the tribe all showed confusion, they all participated in this year’s blessing day, yet never saw this female.

The Snake Beast Aris was at the stone house entrance; he saw the female speaking with Mious.

Mious was someone who rarely wore a smile, let alone bending over to speak, who was this female in front of him?

His gaze swept over her face, finally landing on her amber eyes, a flash of recognition sparked in his mind.

When did this ugly female become beautiful!

Recently, he had mocked Mious to his face for his blindness...

Aris sneered, even if she became beautiful, so what, still just a Second Order female who cannot bear offspring!

Wen Shu moved unimpeded all the way and was about to enter the stone house, when the male at the door suddenly raised his hand to block her.

She looked at him, puzzled, noticing a strange face.

The male wore a pale-colored beast skin robe, the collar wide open revealing his pale chest, his brows long and narrow, features sharp, yet still considered pretty.

He leaned forward slightly, a few strands of green hair slipping from his forehead, softening his face.

Yet his gaze towards Wen Shu was entirely scornful, words cutting without mercy, "Mious’s partner, you’re just Second Order Spiritual System, better not go in and make a fuss."

His voice was clear, deliberately loud.

Hearing this, the surrounding young Beastmen were all astonished, so this is Mious’s partner? That Second Order female who cannot bear offspring!

"You better leave, don’t pass out from failing to heal a minor wound! We can’t spare anyone to look after you."

Aris’s mocking voice continued.

Wen Shu’s expression gradually stiffened; she initially thought Aris was the receptionist.

Now suddenly facing ridicule, her face cooled down.

Seeing her displeasure, Aris smugly crossed his arms, his eyebrows raised in a provoking manner, there he stood, ’What can you do to me?’

Just as Mious approached, he saw Aris troubling Wen Shu, his eyes filled with a hint of deep anger.

Aris was the prodigy of the Snake Beast Tribe, young and already advanced to the Seventh Rank.

Ever since he came to the tribe, having replaced Aris as the First Warrior, this guy had constantly targeted him.

However, to meddle with him was one thing, but to be so harsh towards the female!

He coldly swept a glance at Aris, intending to push him aside.

Unexpectedly, Wen Shu acted faster, kicking Aris hard in the abdomen.
