Chapter 17: Who Harmed Her?

The Female Beastman looked a bit old and somewhat familiar, but she probably wasn't well-acquainted with the original host.

She searched through the memories for a long time but couldn't place her.

"You want me to go to the Witchs Cave to see her now? What great matter could it be?"

No matter how big the matter was, it couldn't delay her meal; she was still hungry!

"The Shaman obtained a female stone and wants you to go over and test the fertility again. It won't take long. Come with me."

The Witchs Cave was not far from the Plaza. Bai Wanwan glanced over, "Does it have to be right now?"

"You can go after you finish eating the strips of meat. I can wait."

The older Female Beastman stood to the side, watching the two of them without urging them verbally.

Being stared at like that, Bai Wanwan's plan to go back and eat roasted meat was ruined.

Forget it. Even if she didn't go today, she would probably have to make a detour to go tomorrow.

Then she would go quickly and return quickly, and then go back home to eat the roasted meat.

Turning her head, she said to Xin Feng, "Then wait for me for a moment. I'll go and come right back."

Just as she was about to get up, Xin Feng held her hand, "Do you want me to accompany you?"

Bai Wanwan smiled and shook her head, "It's just a few steps away, no need. I'll be right back."

From where they were sitting, they could see the Shaman's cave. It was only a few minutes' walk there and back. If she were supporting him, it would probably take twenty minutes.

Xin Feng also understood his own condition, so he let go of her hand, "Okay, then I'll wait for you."

After explaining things to Xin Feng, she straightened her body and said to the older Female Beastman beside her, "Let's go."

After walking for a minute or two, the noise behind them gradually faded. She walked into the alley between the two rows of Stone Houses.

As soon as she stepped in, Bai Wanwan's steps halted.

She looked at the dark path ahead, and a strange feeling suddenly prickled her heart.

That's not right!

This trope felt a bit too familiar?

It seemed like this was always how it happened in TV dramas.

Could there be some conspiracy or trick waiting for her?

"Wan Wan, why did you stop walking?"

Bai Wanwan didn't answer. She glanced back. The closest Beastmen were at least one or two hundred meters away from her.

It was still noisy over there. She didn't know if anyone could hear her even if she screamed her lungs out.

She tried to calm herself and turned back, "I suddenly feel very hungry. I'd better go back and eat the Unicorn Deer meat before going to the Witchs Cave."

With that, she turned around and walked toward the Plaza.

But after taking only two steps, her hand was grabbed by the Female Beastman. "Wan Wan, we've already walked this far. Why are you going back? I have other things to do after I take you over."

"Then you go do your other things. I'll go find the Shaman myself later."

The older Female Beastman not only didn't let go but gripped her even tighter, dragging her toward the alley. "No, you have to come with me now. I don't want to call you again."

Bai Wanwan was dragged two steps and became angry.

She tried hard to shake off the other person's hand, but the other person had clearly anticipated she would do this and held on extremely tightly, making it impossible to break free.

"Let go! You're hurting me."

"Come with me, and I won't hold you."

Bai Wanwan nodded, "Fine! Then let go."

The Female Beastman ignored her and just dragged her forward. "Go to the Witchs Cave first, then I'll let go."

Just now, she only felt a prickle of suspicion in her heart. Now, she was one hundred percent certain and confirmed.

TV dramas weren't lying; a Beastman really intended to harm her!

Since she wanted to harm her, don't blame her for not being polite!

Without another word, she directly raised her foot and kicked toward the other person's stomach.

"Ouch!"

The older Female Beastman cried out in pain, and her hand involuntarily went to cover her stomach.

Bai Wanwan gained her freedom and turned to run.

After running two steps, she slammed into a wall of flesh, letting out a hiss of pain.

Qiong Rong pulled the Female Beastman who had crashed into his embrace away, looked down, and realized it was Bai Wanwan.

"Why are you here?"

Bai Wanwan hadn't expected to run into Qiong Rong here either, and her eyes burst with ecstatic joy.

She fiercely grabbed Qiong Rong's arm. "Qiong Rong, this Female Beastman has a problem. She's trying to trick me into going in."

The older Female Beastman panicked, not expecting other Beastmen to be wandering outside at this moment.

Qiong Rong listened, then glanced at the older Female Beastman beside him. "Where are you trying to take her?"

Because Qiong Rong was present, Bai Wanwan wasn't in a rush to leave anymore.

She inexplicably felt emboldened and turned back to look at the older Female Beastman.

The other woman seemed very timid. When Qiong Rong asked, her face was filled with panic, and her eyes darted around restlessly.

"I, I didn't. It was the Shaman who wanted, wanted to see her, so I called her over."

Bai Wanwan snorted, "You're lying! If the Shaman wanted to see me, he could wait until tomorrow. I said I wanted to go back, so why are you still grabbing me and forcing me to go?"

"I..." The older Female Beastman's brain couldn't keep up.

Unable to articulate an answer, she turned and ran.

Bai Wanwan was already on guard!

Seeing her try to flee, she immediately chased after her.

Catching up, she grabbed the other person's beast skin skirt. "Where are you going? I haven't finished speaking."

Now that Qiong Rong was here and the situation had reversed, she had the upper hand. Naturally, she needed to find out exactly what was going on.

That way, she could avoid danger next time.

"If you don't explain clearly today, you're not leaving!"

Bai Wanwan pulled hard on the other person's beast skin, not giving her any chance to escape.

"Qiong Rong, lend me the stone knife on your waist."

Bai Wanwan's request caused the older Female Beastman to struggle violently.

"Bai Wanwan, what are you doing? I am also a Female Beastman. If you hurt me, the Chief won't let you off."

Bai Wanwan laughed heartily, "Won't let me off? Did you forget I am the Sacred Female? Even if I killed you, the Chief would at most reprimand me, not punish me."

This was the rule of the Beastman world: Females were more precious than Males, and the Sacred Female reigned above all Females.

The older Female Beastman immediately turned to look at Qiong Rong.

"Qiong Rong, don't give her the stone knife!"

Qiong Rong watched the two struggle for a while before walking forward. His gaze swept over Bai Wanwan's face before he drew the stone knife and handed it to her.

Bai Wanwan was slightly surprised; she hadn't expected him to actually give her the knife.

She reached out and took it, immediately pressing it against the older Female Beastman's neck.

"Speak or not? Say it, or I'll slash your throat."

"No!"

Qiong Rong stepped back two paces and watched her from a distance. "Don't worry. If she kills you, I won't just abandon you in the mountains for the wild beasts to gnaw on. I will bury you."

The older Female Beastman's face instantly turned ashen.

Bai Wanwan pressed the stone knife tighter against her neck.

"Speak or not? I'm giving you one last chance."

The older Female Beastman screamed in fright, "I'll speak, I'll speak!"

Bai Wanwan didn't put the knife away. "Then speak quickly. Don't waste my time. I still need to go back and eat meat."

This statement made Qiong Rong glance sideways at her.

Meanwhile, in the Shaman's Cave on the other side, the Shaman and the Xin Shan brothers were growing restless from waiting.

"Brother, maybe I should go check. It's been so long, why hasn't she arrived yet?"

"You wait here in the Witchs Cave. I'll go."

Xin Shan finished speaking, took a step, and walked out of the Witchs Cave toward the Plaza.

He hadn't gone far before he saw the three people frozen in a standoff at the mouth of the alley.

"Wan Wan, put the stone knife down. I will tell you what you want to know."
