Carrying a bag full of Crystal Coins back into the house, Wen Shu couldn’t wait to count them, her eyes smiling like crescent moons.
So many Crystal Coins, spending thirty thousand to buy a Totem, the rest is just right for a new start!
If there’s time, I should buy a portable beast skin bag.
She thought of going to the trading area once before leaving, and just then Wu Xuan squeezed in through the door crack.
He flicked his long black tail, jumped onto the bed, and upon seeing the bag of Crystal Coins, his eyes flashed with admiration, "Ashu, you’re amazing!"
Seeing his eyes sparkling as he looked at her, Wen Shu curved her eyebrows and lowered her voice, "If the bandits don’t attack the city, we’ll leave at first light."
Her tone was full of anticipation, but Wu Xuan couldn’t help but think of the two sympathetic males in the outer hall.
He had also been rejected by a female, so he could somewhat empathize with them.
Moreover, he could see that the female wasn’t without feelings for them, if they left, would she regret it?
Wu Xuan lay on Wen Shu’s knees, his tail wrapped around her wrist, asked softly, "Ashu, aren’t you going to say goodbye to them?"
Meeting his worried gaze, Wen Shu’s long lashes trembled, and a complex emotion filled her eyes.
Nan and Mious?
Thinking of leaving soon, possibly never seeing them again, Wen Shu’s originally excited heart gradually became shrouded in a heavy mist.
Since arriving in the Beast World, they had appeared by her side. Although they had known each other for only a short month, she felt as if she had lived with them for a long time.
Even though she still had some reservations, she couldn’t help feeling a trace of reluctance.
But, having experienced countless farewells, she knew that there’s no everlasting feast, as long as they disappear from each other’s worlds, there will come a day when they will forget these...
Wen Shu’s long lashes drooped as she gently shook her head, "No need to tell them."
Her slightly cold voice carried a hint of heaviness.
Wu Xuan lay on her knees, not ignoring the fleeting wistfulness in her eyes.
He inwardly cursed himself for speaking carelessly, making the female sad, and nuzzled his fluffy body into Wen Shu’s arms, licking her chilled cheek.
The barbed tongue of the black cat made Wen Shu itch as it grazed her, covering her wet face, she touched his round ears, "I’m fine."
She picked up Wu Xuan, placed him at the head of the bed, and lay down next to him, gazing into his golden eyes with a gentle smile at the corners of her lips, "Get some rest."
After she finished speaking, Wen Shu slowly closed her eyes.
As time passed by slowly, her breathing gradually steadied, but Wu Xuan remained with his round eyes open, feeling as though the female was testing him,
The female’s snowy white face was close by, enveloped in a warm aroma that drilled straight into his nostrils. The source of thɪs content is Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
His breathing became increasingly erratic, his heart racing uncontrollably, and his paws sank deep into the plush carpet as he unconsciously inched closer to her.
"Ashu..."
His rich voice was hoarse, just a tentative touch, and he could feel the soft warmth grow warmer as he pressed closer.
Wu Xuan held his breath, staring at the female’s trembling lashes, pausing silently for a long time, feeling a sudden warmth in his eyes, and only feeling his heart painfully swell.
If he could always be like this, he dared not imagine how wonderful that would be...
At dawn, Wen Shu awoke from her slumber.
The moment she opened her eyes, she found herself face-to-face with Wu Xuan’s bright and almost touchingly close eyes.
Seeing her wake up, Wu Xuan’s pupils suddenly dilated, hurriedly retreating with an undeniable guilt in his eyes.
Wen Shu looked puzzled, wanting to ask him what was wrong, but just as she moved her lips, she felt a slight chill.
She touched her lips, feeling a dampness, realizing what it was, her ears instantly burned red, "Wu Xuan!"
Had he been sneaking kisses on her all night to be this lively?
Seeing her about to get angry, Wu Xuan quickly nuzzled up to her hand, dropping his round head, circling her arm while stealing glances at her, "You were right next to me, I couldn’t help it, but I didn’t do anything else..."
Hearing the disappointment in his tone, Wen Shu was stunned for two seconds, her entire face turning red, Wu Xuan’s youthful form was too deceptive, she had forgotten he also had a history!
"You’re not allowed to sleep at the head of the bed from now on." She abruptly stood up, picked up the Crystal Coins, and walked out the door.
Wu Xuan quickly followed, seeing her red earlobes, a shred of joy rose in his heart, was the female shy? She wasn’t angry!
His steps feeling like he was walking on clouds, his mind swirling with thoughts, the female didn’t resist his kisses, then when he recovers, could he go further?
Watching Wen Shu’s tall and graceful back, his mouth went dry, and the images in his mind became increasingly uncontrollable...
And just as his mind was aglow, he was suddenly pulled into someone’s embrace.
"Shh—"
Wen Shu covered his furry mouth, returned to the room, and quietly climbed out of the window.
As they stepped out of the wooden house, the cold wind hit them both, invigorating their spirits.
Wu Xuan sobered up quite a bit, his gaze fell on Wen Shu’s elegant jawline, "Ashu, what’s wrong?"
"Mious is in the outer hall."
Wen Shu huddled her collar against the cold, lifting her eyes to look at the cloud-covered sky, that bit of surprise at seeing Mious sleeping in the corner turning immediately into unease.
But she didn’t hesitate, only feeling that time might be running out, moving swiftly towards the city gate tower.
The night was peaceful, no attack occurred in the city, many anxious beastmen flocked to the city gate, prepared to leave Su’en City.
Outside the small tower, a long line had formed.
Wen Shu stood at the end, feeling somewhat anxious, worrying that Nan and they might come looking, and being alert for bandit raids.
Fortunately, the beastmen selling Totems were efficient, and she didn’t wait long before standing in front of the counter.
"One entrance Totem for Anbei City, please."
She handed Crystal Coins to the beastman, watching as the beastman, with furrowed brows, searched around, her heart tightly clenching.
It wasn’t until the beastman found a Totem in the corner that her heavy heart lightened up as if a burden had been lifted.
"Have a pleasant journey, next please."
The beast skin Totem passed to her hand, Wen Shu held it tightly, a smile unstoppable on her lips.
She walked excitedly but was stumbled by the sudden influx of people.
Wu Xuan glanced nervously at her, baring his teeth at the person, "Didn’t you see someone here!"
The male, startled by his fierce demeanor, immediately apologized to the female repeatedly, "I’m sorry, I’m sorry!"
In a hurry to leave, Wen Shu shook her head and continued out, but overheard the male’s complaint to his companion.
"At a time like this, buying entrance Totems!"
His companion agreed, "It’s snowing outside! If we don’t run now, we’ll freeze to death before the bandits even get here!"
The shocking bad news reached her ears word by word.
Wen Shu’s body stiffened, feeling as though she had fallen into an icy abyss.
Unable to believe it, she dashed out of the tower, and upon seeing the sky full of snowflakes blowing in from Anbei City, her arm tensed to the point of trembling.
The bone-chilling wind disheveled her long hair, her gaze fixed on the swiftly falling snowfall like swan feathers, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
"It’s really snowing."
