53: Chapter 53 Knowing Something Was Wrong

"Can I change to a..."

Halfway through her sentence, Bai Wanwan's gaze fell upon the nearby beasts that had already transformed into their beast forms.

Each one was massive, hideous, and deformed.

In comparison, this King Cobra actually looked much more pleasing to the eye.

Zhu Xiu saw through her thoughts in an instant and flicked his tongue. "Do you want another Wandering Beast to carry you?"

"No, I didn't mean that..."

As she spoke, she scrambled onto his beast body with both hands and feet, fearing that if she were a second late, he would change his mind and make her ride another Wandering Beast.

Zhu Xiu's crimson eyes flickered as he allowed the Little Female to climb onto him.

The King Cobra's icy body made Bai Wanwan shudder from the cold.

What was the difference between this and lying directly on the Snowy Ground?

His scales felt incredibly slick, so slippery that they gave her goosebumps all over...

Bai Wanwan could only keep mentally preparing herself.

This isn't a pure snake; he's a beastman. It's fine.

She had just struggled halfway up when Zhu Xiu flicked his long tail, coiling her directly in the center.

The whistling sound of the wind and snow suddenly lessened, and his body didn't seem quite as cold anymore.

Roger had used his Innate Ability to shield her from the wind and snow once before.

So, upon feeling the warmth, Bai Wanwan immediately guessed that he was using his Innate Ability to shield her from the severe cold outside.

Her impression of him improved slightly in her heart.

She was also well aware that as a Sacred Female, she would naturally receive some special treatment.

All of this was simply because she still had value.

Since she was currently powerless to resist, she would try her best to protect herself and The Cubs while slowly seeking an opportunity.

Thinking this way, she stopped worrying and leaned directly against his beast body to start dozing off.

The journey was tedious, and she was jolted into a daze, not even knowing how much time had passed.

She only knew that every so often, Zhu Xiu would stop to wake her up and throw her a piece of fresh, bloody meat.

She picked it up with her fingers in disgust, wanting to throw it away immediately.

The Cubs in the basket caught the scent and began to whimper and howl incessantly.

Fine, I'll let them eat it then.

Xin Feng had said that Male beastmen must eat some raw meat to replenish the energy their bodies need.

The Cubs were growing and needed it even more.

She tossed the fresh meat into the basket, and The Cubs began to eat happily, making purring sounds as they ate.

She, on the other hand, took some jerky out of the system space and chewed on it slowly.

After stopping and starting about a dozen times like this, she heard the cheers of the Wandering Beastmen.

Drowsy as she was, she was jolted awake by the noise.

"Second Leader, the City Lord has come out personally to welcome us."

Bai Wanwan was now completely awake. She lay on Zhu Xiu's back and tilted her head to look forward.

A few hundred meters away from them stood a city with a rugged architectural style.

The surrounding environment was also desolate and bleak.

Strangely, however, there was almost no snow in this area, and the ground was very dry.

In the distance, countless beasts were galloping, kicking up clouds of dust.

It didn't take long before the Wandering Beastmen reached them.

Bai Wanwan heard Zhu Xiu's voice. "City Lord."

"Zhu Xiu, with you personally taking action, that Sacred Female must have been brought back by you... Where is she? Hurry, let me see..."

Bai Wanwan felt the long tail coiled around her slowly loosen, and then it supported her as she landed on the ground in front.

There were Wandering Beasts everywhere, each one grotesquely ugly.

Bai Wanwan felt like an outlier, like a monkey in a zoo.

At this moment, she also clearly saw the City Lord who had been speaking.

The City Lord was also not as ugly as the other Wandering Beasts, but he couldn't compare to Zhu Xiu; he was just a tall, sturdy, ordinary Male.

When he saw Bai Wanwan, his green eyes lit up with excitement.

"You are the Sacred Female?"

Bai Wanwan ignored him, turned to look at Zhu Xiu, and asked directly, "Can I follow you?"

These words immediately silenced the chaotic scene.

Bai Wanwan did it on purpose; in history books, those with supreme power are always at odds with those who threaten their status.

Since this Zhu Xiu was powerful and handsome...

She didn't believe the City Lord wasn't wary of him.

She was a Sacred Female after all. According to the general rules of the Beast World, a Sacred Female was like catnip to Males.

Zhu Xiu also looked down at her. "What did you say?"

Bai Wanwan blinked and deliberately repeated her words, "I like you. I want to be with you."

After hearing this, Zhu Xiu gave a soft laugh. "My task was to find you and bring you back. Anything else has nothing to do with me."

After saying that, he nodded to the City Lord. "City Lord, the task is complete. I'm tired and will head into the city first."

Without waiting for the City Lord to speak, he directly led his few confidants into the city.

Bai Wanwan was dumbfounded; her 'catnip' effect didn't seem to work.

The City Lord strode up to her, stared at her face for a moment, then reached out and pinched her chin. "Are you really the Sacred Female?"

"Really, really, I am."

At this moment, she had to quickly solidify her identity as the Sacred Female to save her life first.

The eyes of the surrounding Wandering Beasts seemed to be glowing green, as if they would tear her apart and eat her at any moment.

As soon as she finished speaking, she was tossed up into the air.

When she came down, she landed right on the back of a golden lion.

It turned out the beast form of the Wandering Beast City's lord was a lion.

It was massive and looked very majestic, but there was a patch on its head without fur, as if it had once been seriously injured.

It carried Bai Wanwan past all the Wandering Beasts and quickly entered the city.

This city was built entirely of stone.

Including the houses they lived in, everything was made of stone.

Carried by the lion, she arrived at a building that looked like a castle.

Bai Wanwan was somewhat surprised; she hadn't expected beastmen to have such craftsmanship, being able to build such a large structure using only stone.

Yin Da brought her back to his residence. The moment he transformed into human form, he grabbed the basket from Bai Wanwan's hand, threw it aside, and then pressed himself toward her.

Bai Wanwan slapped him across the face. It didn't hurt, but Yin Da, who had never been defied, immediately changed his expression, his green eyes flaring with anger.

Just as he was about to erupt, Bai Wanwan suddenly curled her lips into a smile.

Her beautiful eyes blinked, as alluring as if they had hooks.

"City Lord, don't be in such a hurry... I've been running outside for so many days, my body is all smelly. I want to take a bath, and I want to eat something..."

Yin Da had never seen such a Female. His heart inexplicably softened, and before he could even react, he had already nodded in agreement.

"Fine, I'll have a Female come to take care of you."

Seeing that this trick worked, Bai Wanwan immediately smiled at him again. "You're so kind. Can I keep my Cubs and raise them myself?"

Yin Da was somewhat reluctant. Wandering Beasts had a very strong Male consciousness; they could not accept The Cubs of other Males and would even bite them to death directly.

Seeing him hesitate, Bai Wanwan knew things were going poorly.

She ran over in two or three steps, hugged the basket in her arms, and immediately squeezed out a few tears. "If you touch my Cubs, I won't go on living!"
