CHAPTER 84: CHAPTER 84: PLANNING TO LEAVE

The pitter-patter of rain sounded outside the window.

A cold wind silently blew in, raising the layer of white gauze and blocking the creaking wooden door before her.

Thinking of Mious’s demeanor when he left, Wen Shu felt a twinge of heartache. She indeed hadn’t expected that Mious would like her.

Nor did she expect that he would be so sad.

However...

She took a deep breath, her gaze looking out the rainy window.

Her intuition told her that nightmare was a warning.

If she wanted to survive, the most effective method she could think of was to sever all conditions for the plot to unfold.

The rain lasted all night.

Until morning, Su’en City was still shrouded in a hazy white fog.

Wen Shu picked up the beast skin bag, walked down the stairs, and found Nan making breakfast in the somewhat dim living room, fiddling with utensils.

Julius had appeared at some unknown time, exhausted under his eyes, sitting at the table, eagerly gazing at the steaming food.

Hearing footsteps, they looked at her, Julius’s eyes full of surprise, "Wen Shu, you’re finally awake!"

He glanced behind Wen Shu, tilting his head in confusion, "Hey, where is Mious?"

Already feeling guilty, hearing him mention it made Wen Shu pause in her steps.

Seeing her face turning a bit grim, Nan glanced indifferently at Julius and stepped forward to hold Wen Shu’s hand, gently saying, "Ashu, let’s have breakfast first."

Seating her on a wooden stool, he served food while peering out the window, seeing sunlight breaking through the clouds, he smiled, "The weather’s clear. Want to stroll around Beast City with you?"

Wen Shu followed his gaze and nodded. There was indeed much to do today.

After quickly finishing the meal, she left a few crystal coins on the table and left the wooden house to rent a new place, and bought about seven days’ worth of food.

Renting the house went smoothly, but she didn’t expect that because of the sudden snow season, food in Beast City was massively scarce, and the prices were exorbitantly high!

Shaking the empty bag, Wen Shu’s face fell.

Nan hugged the food next to her, comforting, "I will find a way to earn money."

She glanced at Nan, his light-colored eyes glimmering with seriousness, surrounded by a soft glow.

Seeing her looking, Nan’s eyes deepened as he gazed at her, lowering his voice, sincerely saying, "Ashu, I will take good care of you."

Warmth surged in Wen Shu’s heart, and she responded with a smile, yet remained worried.

Leaving Beast City was urgent; she had to find a way to earn money quickly.

And indeed, in her memory, there was such a place.

She quickened her pace.

And Nan followed suit, his round eyes filled with scattered light, unwaveringly watching her.

In the Snake Beast Tribe, he had spoken with Mious.

His abilities were currently limited, and upon learning that Mious, though stubborn, always protected Ashu, he originally planned to form an alliance.

Yet he didn’t expect Ashu to suddenly reject him.

A bit surprised, but it was false to say he wasn’t happy.

Ashu was his alone now.

At least at this moment, she belonged only to him.

Nan sped up to catch up with Wen Shu bathing in sunlight, eye corners blossoming with a touch of golden waves, "Ashu, wait for me."

Alentia’s layout was unique, with seven main cities and several affiliated cities.

Affiliated cities were situated at the edge of city walls, interconnected with other affiliated cities on the east and west sides, and the south side connecting to the expansive main city.

The three cities adjacent to Su’en City had Yasen City as the main city where another male lead was located.

The west was the Snow City, where the female lead escaped and bonded with a lynx.

Only the east side’s Anbei City lacked any traces of main characters.

Wen Shu decided to go there to wait for the snow season to end and then leave Alentia for good.

Arriving at the east city gate when the sun was at its hottest, the atmosphere there was bustling.

Unlike the border gates, serving as the junction between two cities, numerous Beastmen were lined up in three queues, entering Anbei City sporadically.

Wen Shu looked around, her gaze falling on a crowded wooden house, "Nan, go ask how much crystal coin Anbei City’s entry totem costs, I’ll check over there."

Hearing her words, Nan paused slightly. Was the female planning to leave here?

His heart grew suspicious, but he didn’t ask more, agreeing and walking into a tall building beside the city gate.

Wen Shu also quickly entered that wooden house.

As expected, this wooden house was indeed Su’en City’s task station, with countless wooden plaques inside plastered with reward notices classified by price levels.

She stood before the wooden plaque with the fewest people, immediately spotting the beast skin notice at the top.

"Snow season hunting team, urgently needs high-level healing system female, task completion divides food according to contribution, additionally provides fifty thousand crystal coins..."

Wen Shu didn’t finish reading, her attention was only focused on two words.

Fifty thousand!

Other tasks topped at several thousand crystal coins, the initiator of this task was truly wealthy!

In her rush to leave, she had little time to waste; this was practically custom-made for her.

She tiptoed and directly tore it down, slapping it on the table, "I accept this task."

After confirming the task time, Wen Shu tucked the reward notice away and turned to leave the wooden house. Just walking down the steps, she encountered a few fierce-looking Beastmen.

She sidestepped to avoid, but as they approached, one brazenly bumped into her shoulder!

Wen Shu couldn’t dodge in time, staggered by the bump, barely steadied herself when she heard a mocking voice from the leading female, "Are you that country bumpkin Wen Shu?"

As the words fell, the female beside her scrutinized Wen Shu, a trace of disdain flashing in her eyes, "Dressed like this, her face also matches Aqiao’s description. Seems like it’s her."

Wen Shu glared coldly at them.

The two females before her were both dressed lavishly, their appearances also striking.

One had brown hair and yellow eyes, the other red hair and green eyes, accompanied by three tall males behind them.

The familiar looks and entrance had appeared in the original story too.

At this point in time, the original had already returned to the City Lord’s Manor, competing with Bai Qiao for the heir position.

These two were Bai Qiao’s friends, unable to bear seeing the female lead suffer, often brought people to bully the original.

But she clearly hadn’t provoked the female lead.

Wen Shu’s expression grew grim, the chill in her eyes ever sharp.

Mina was standing across from her, being stared down made her back chill. How could this female’s gaze be so terrifying!

Seeing Mina’s face turn pale, Lili quickly shielded her behind and met the female’s eyes stubbornly, "What are you staring at!"

She pointed at Wen Shu’s nose, gesturing to the males behind, "Did you hear that? This is Wen Shu, do you guys want Aqiao’s favor?"

She raised her eyebrow, pointing to the nearby alley, "Drag her in there and beat her! Let her know some people shouldn’t be provoked, some things shouldn’t be desired!"

As her words fell, the males behind her exchanged glances and surrounded Wen Shu.

The leading blond male grabbed her arm, greed glinting in his eyes; he only needed to teach this female a lesson to meet Bai Qiao.

After all, Bai Qiao was a rare, high pregnancy value female!

As long as he became her beast husband, even as the least favored, he only needed one night to have his own cub!

Wen Shu watched their expressions closely, not resisting, following them into the alley, gaze sweeping over those two smug females with a cold chuckle in her heart.

Coming to her door begging for a beating, there was no reason not to satisfy.
