55: Chapter 55 Clash

As for what Yin Da was called away to do, Bai Wanwan knew perfectly well.

She was a person from Modern Times, after all; she had seen plenty of those harem power-struggle dramas.

Beastmen shared human traits, and jealousy and possessiveness would drive them to help her.

Over the past few days, Bai Wanwan only needed to provide Yin Da with some emotional value to live quite comfortably.

After tricking Yin Da away once again, Bai Wanwan decided to go find Zhu Xiu.

After several days, she knew clearly that she couldn't escape on her own.

Her only chance might lie with Zhu Xiu.

From what she had gathered these past few days, Zhu Xiu was the least Wandering Beast-like of all the Wandering Beasts.

Stepping out of the Stone House, Bai Wanwan walked through an alleyway and heard the voices of some Females shouting at the top of their lungs.

It didn't sound like pleasure at all; instead, it was full of pain.

Bai Wanwan poked her head out to take a look. Next to a stone mountain, four Wandering Beast Males were pinning down a Female.

They were torturing her while simultaneously beating her.

Having experienced the Cat Clan Tribe, where Males treated Females like precious treasures,

seeing this scene made her feel even more that these Wandering Beastmen were perverted at heart.

She retreated stealthily, not intending to meddle in troubled waters.

She could barely protect herself; she couldn't save anyone.

She navigated the twists and turns with familiarity.

She also ran into several Wandering Beasts along the way.

The way they looked at her was incredibly explicit, as if they wanted to tear her apart and eat her.

She bolstered her courage and continued walking forward, feigning composure.

She could even hear them discussing her behind her back.

"So what if she's a Sacred Female? It's not like we haven't had one before."

"You still dare to say that... That Sacred Female was so precious, yet you guys played with her until she died."

"If she's dead, she's dead... Now we have another one."

"Once the City Lord gives the word, I'll definitely be the first to mate with her."

Bai Wanwan kept her head down and walked forward, but suddenly bumped into a wall of flesh.

The impact sent her back two steps.

Zhu Xiu stood two or three steps away from her. "Where are you going?"

Bai Wanwan stood up straight and glanced left and right; there seemed to be no other Wandering Beasts around.

"Looking for you."

"Looking for me?"

Although Zhu Xiu asked, his expression showed not a hint of surprise.

"Yes, can we find another place to talk?" Bai Wanwan smiled at him.

She knew that her smiling face was quite lethal to Males.

After all, she had tried it before, and the results were always good.

But to her surprise, Zhu Xiu rejected her almost without hesitation. "No. The only thing I can do is take you to see the City Lord. Will you walk yourself, or should I tie you up and take you?"

After a brief stun, Bai Wanwan didn't pull back her smile; instead, she smiled even more brightly.

"If you want to tie me up, then tie me up. As long as I can spend a little more time with you, it's fine."

Zhu Xiu's gaze swept over her face, and he let out a soft chuckle. "Want to escape? You want to use me to escape?"

Zhu Xiu had to admit that she was the smartest and calmest Female he had ever seen.

He knew exactly what she had been doing these past few days.

He hadn't expected a tiny Female to be able to keep her cool, not crying or making a scene, and even coaxing Yin Da to be less irritable than usual.

He did indeed view her in a different light.

But... she shouldn't have targeted him.

Bai Wanwan gave a little giggle. "Don't make it sound so bad. Do you know what cooperation is?"

"I don't want to know."

"Don't be so certain... You should know I'm a Sacred Female, but besides being able to give birth a bit more than other Females, I also know some other things. You've been observing me for a few days, haven't you?"

Zhu Xiu didn't deny it, nor did he interrupt her, seemingly wanting to hear what else she had to say.

Bai Wanwan didn't make him wait long; since he was willing to listen, there was hope.

"These past few days, I've also been observing you... Second Leader, you're like an outlier in Wandering Beast City. You're incredibly powerful—rumor has it your strength isn't below the City Lord's—yet you don't touch those Females."

"Mhm, and what conclusion did that lead you to?" Zhu Xiu's eyes flickered.

"The beastmen in Wandering Beast City completely release the evil in their hearts here. They commit all sorts of atrocities, but what about you? Since you don't indulge yourself, what are you plotting?"

She threw the question back at him, their gazes meeting in the air.

Suddenly, Bai Wanwan felt something moving against her leg.

Looking down, she saw a snake tail.

She was startled and retreated several steps. "I might be able to help you, but if you kill me to keep me quiet, you'll definitely take many detours... You've been in Wandering Beast City for quite a while, haven't you?"

As she spoke, the cold snake tail coiled over and wrapped directly around her, lifting her up.

Zhu Xiu didn't fully transform; looking only at his upper body, he was still human, but he used his lower body to wrap her up tightly.

"Zhu Xiu, I really want to help you, and you won't have to pay too high a price..."

Zhu Xiu carried her as he slithered forward, completely ignoring her.

Bai Wanwan tried to persuade him all the way, her mouth going dry from talking.

Zhu Xiu remained unmoved and delivered her straight to Yin Da's residence.

Coincidentally, Yin Da was rushing out from inside. Seeing Zhu Xiu and Bai Wanwan, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Where did you run off to? Why did Zhu Xiu have to bring you back?"

Yin Da's tone wasn't as fierce as when he faced other beastmen.

Zhu Xiu's brows arched, and he turned to look at Bai Wanwan.

Bai Wanwan curled her lip. "I took a wrong turn and almost couldn't find my way back."

Zhu Xiu lowered his eyes. This Little Female really had many faces; no wonder she could charm Yin Da.

The long tail retracted, and Bai Wanwan was taken into Yin Da's arms.

"Were you scared? If you're scared, don't run around blindly. This time you met Zhu Xiu, but if you met other Wandering Beasts, they might not be able to control themselves and would hurt you."

Bai Wanwan shrank into his arms, looking truly frightened.

Yin Da looked at Zhu Xiu. "She's timid; thanks to you today."

Timid...

Zhu Xiu's eyes, flashing with a red glow, shifted and met Bai Wanwan's gaze.

Bai Wanwan was snuggled in Yin Da's arms, her face showing not the slightest hint of fear. Seeing him look over, she raised an eyebrow and gave him a beaming smile.

What a deceptive Little Female!

"Yin Da, I'm hungry. I want to eat Unicorn Deer meat. Second Leader, would you like to stay and eat with us?"

At Bai Wanwan's invitation to Zhu Xiu, displeasure clouded Yin Da's features.

A very faint smile appeared at the corners of Zhu Xiu's mouth, as if he had seen through Bai Wanwan's trick.

He spoke up, "No need, I'm not hungry."

With that, he slowly turned and walked away.

Seeing her still staring at Zhu Xiu's back, Yin Da's displeased expression even carried a hint of ferocity. "You are my Female; you aren't allowed to look at other Males."

Bai Wanwan withdrew her gaze with a smile. "Okay, I won't look. I don't like snakes anyway..."

She didn't notice that the Male, who hadn't walked too far away, paused for a moment before continuing forward.

Bai Wanwan was very satisfied with the results of today's testing.

Although Zhu Xiu was a tough nut to crack, as long as he wanted something, she would have a chance to reach a cooperation with him and leave Wandering Beast City.

While she was thinking, Yin Da suddenly bent over, picked her up, and walked toward the Stone Bed.

Bai Wanwan was instantly on high alert. "Yin Da, what are you doing?"

She was completely unprepared. Over the past few days, she had satisfied him emotionally, and he hadn't been in a hurry to mate with her.

But now, what was he trying to do?
