Chapter 202: Chapter 202: Heading to the Island
"Disappeared?"
Almost the instant the question emerged, the thought flashed through Wen Shu’s mind, her gaze sweeping over Nan and Luo Fei, who had sent someone away that day.
In the hovering image, Bai Qiao nodded silently, while Wen Shu still did not move her gaze away.
Glanced at indifferently by her, Luo Fei, who was speaking, had his back stiffen for a few seconds, while Nan’s brows and eyes drooped as he walked over to her slowly.
Seeing their reaction, Wen Shu understood in her heart and, after pondering for two seconds, did not plan to hide the truth, "I’m sorry... Bai Qiao, he may never return."
Her words were tactful, yet very straightforward. Bai Qiao was stunned, quickly comprehending her meaning, her entire face instantly turning pale.
Seeing her look like this, Wen Shu pressed her lips tightly, assuming she still had feelings for Lu Di and couldn’t accept the pain of loss.
However, Bai Qiao’s eyes reddened, and the trembling words she spoke were contrary to her expectations.
"Did he go to cause trouble for you? With his ambitious nature, if he returns, he definitely won’t let you go..."
Bai Qiao’s brow furrowed tightly, then instantly relaxed, her palm stroking her belly, "Better not return, I can’t let the child become his bargaining chip for seizing power."
She spoke coldly, yet the tears at the corners of her eyes silently fell like broken threads.
Wen Shu pressed her lips tightly, wanting to softly comfort her, but at this moment, several figures appeared opposite the image, enveloping Bai Qiao in their embrace.
"Qiaoqiao, what happened?"
Upon hearing someone comforting her, Bai Qiao instead wiped away her tears, gradually calming down, "I’m fine."
She raised her eyes to look at Wen Shu, seeing the guilt on her slightly furrowed brow, she feigned a relaxed smile.
"I know what kind of person he is, such a fate is his own doing. Tomorrow I will report to City Lord Masha..."
The two conversed for a long time, Bai Qiao telling Wen Shu all the series of events in Yasen City, and Wen Shu decided to go to Yasen City to celebrate Bai Qiao when she gives birth.
"Then it’s settled."
The ethereal image was retracted into the Transmission Stone, and the smile at Wen Shu’s lips faded as she looked towards Nan and Luo Fei standing in a row, heads hanging, and also...
Mious?
Her eyes widen slightly, "Mious, you were involved in this too?"
Mious pressed his lips tightly, shook his head, and said softly, "I was aware of this matter too."
As the words fell, Nan’s brows and eyes drooped, his gentle face was filled with timidity, explaining, "Ashu, I had to do it..."
Letting Lu Di go carried great risks, she could understand Nan’s concerns, but that wasn’t what she minded.
Wen Shu remained silent, just quietly watching them, the atmosphere growing ever more silent.
Understanding her meaning, Nan’s long lashes trembled, stepping forward a few steps to hold her hand, his voice hoarse:
"Ashu, it’s my fault, I shouldn’t have hidden it from you, but that day you just gave birth to the cub, I just didn’t want you to worry too much..."
Mious and Luo Fei, realizing immediately, Mious lowered his head to admit fault, while Luo Fei stepped forward in a few strides to hook Wen Shu’s arm.
"Ashu, there won’t be a next time."
Their attitude sincere, Wen Shu was not really angry, but afraid they might not take it seriously, so she nodded her head with a feigned sternness.
"I don’t blame you, if he were alive, he would certainly be detrimental to us, by then I would make the same choice... but from now on, there can be no more secrets in this family."
With their guarantees, she stood up ready to go upstairs, just as she stepped onto the stairs, a large hand wrapped around her waist lifting her up.
Wen Shu completely unprepared, held onto the person’s arm, looking up to see Wu Xuan’s tense jaw, her heart fluttering wildly.
"Wu Xuan, you scared me to death!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Xuan closed the door forcefully with his foot, bowed his head to kiss her lightly on the cheek, somewhat jealously complaining, "Don’t look at them, let me accompany you tonight, okay?"
A moist patch appeared on her cheek, Wen Shu’s breathing paused, thinking his accompany was a verb, buried her face in his broad chest, and gently hummed, "Mmm..."
However, the facts proved she had misunderstood.
The two slept properly for the whole night, nothing happened.
When Wen Shu got up, thinking about her thoughts last night, she wished she could find a hole to hide in.
But as she pulled up the arm around her waist, she was again pulled into a scorching embrace, a face-blushing touch, distinctly pressing against her lower back.
"Mmm..."
A raspy moan swept past her ear, Wen Shu’s cheeks instantly flushed burning red, yet before she could speak, the person behind her directly dashed into the bathroom.
"?"
Wen Shu was utterly bewildered.
And what she didn’t expect was, starting from this day, not just Wu Xuan, but Mious and Nan, even Luo Fei, when facing her, even if unbearably uncomfortable, would only run into the bathroom to shower all night.
...
That day, Wen Shu sat languidly chewing fruit in the living room, Wu Xuan wiped the sweat from her brow, "Why not go to the northern snowy mountains?"
The weather was getting hotter and hotter, and the males were discussing where to go to avoid the heat.
Rah seized the chance, sitting next to Wen Shu, listening to their discussion, his hand resting on the back of the nearby chair.
"There’s a small island in the southern seas, many Beastmen go there to avoid the heat."
A cool touch placed on her neck, lightly gripping her shoulder, Wen Shu felt a wave of comfort, but encountering several dark and surreptitious glances, she reluctantly moved away.
In the Beast World, summer lasts four to five months, and it’s already this hot; in a few days, the sun might be able to roast someone alive.
"Where is it?" She glanced back at Rah, "Is it far from here?"
Meeting her expectant gaze, Rah’s harsh eyebrows slightly raised, but before he could speak, he was interrupted by Luo Fei from across.
"I know a place. Once the ship is ready, we can set off immediately."
Luo Fei raised the ends of his sharp eyebrows, without directly mentioning the place, and lowered his voice to discuss with Yining beside him.
Before long, Mious and the others gathered to discuss among themselves, deliberately keeping a distance, clearly avoiding Rah.
Wen Shu realized that they intended to leave Rah behind.
Sure enough, a few days later at dawn, when Wen Shu woke up amidst the jolting, they were already on the deck.
She groggily rubbed her eyes, moved aside the clothing shielding her face from the wind, and indeed didn’t see Rah’s figure.
"You left Rah..."
She had just begun to speak when an arm tightened around her legs, and Luo Fei swiftly advanced a few steps, took her into the cabin, and kissed her lips.
The kiss came so unexpectedly that Wen Shu’s cry of surprise was completely swallowed, and she uncomfortably leaned back, while Luo Fei intensified, gripping her lower back tightly.
Her lips were numb and painful.
The lack of oxygen caused a chest pain, and she pushed against the chest in front of her, her eyes filled with heat.
Seeing her so pitiful, Luo Fei restrained himself and pulled back a little, wiping the corners of her lips with the pad of his thumb, still feeling unsatisfied.
"Wen Shu, aren’t the five of us enough for you?"
He was quite displeased, while Wen Shu’s vision blurred, her sight scattered as she looked at Luo Fei, gasping unable to articulate a complete sentence.
"Hu... I..."
The hoarse whisper provoked an itch in the heart.
Luo Fei slightly lowered his eyes, observing her reddened eye borders, plump lips glistening with moisture like an overly ripe, decaying red fruit.
The pent-up heat from many days prior ignited again in his lower abdomen.
With a substantive, aggressive gaze sweeping beside her face, Wen Shu sobered a bit, just propping herself up on her elbow, when a searing hot hand seized her wrist, pinning it to the top of her head.
Her heart skipped a few beats, not yet speaking when familiar black wings spread before her eyes, shrouding all surrounding light.
The heavy breath swept past her face, Wen Shu swallowed, clearly not the first time experiencing such a thing, yet inexplicably, she felt a bad omen, "Luo Fei, let me go first."
She softly persuaded, her lips covered by a broad hand, Luo Fei’s scarlet eyes inches away, grumbling unhappily, "Wen Shu, being too fickle should be punished..."
Before Wen Shu could react, the sound of ripping cloth echoed by her ear.
She felt a chill at the front of her body, an itch at her wrist; looking up, she saw Luo Fei use torn fabric to bind her wrists!
"Mmm!"
Let’s talk this out!
However, Luo Fei paid her no heed, and after a swallowing sound, the evil dragon slowly unraveled the bindings, finally achieving his desire.
...
By midnight, as the lights flickered for a few seconds, a tender moan from the cabin became hoarse.
Wen Shu, groggy, finally found a moment to catch her breath after it ended.
Her heart still pounded fiercely.
Luo Fei wouldn’t show any mercy; the more she cried, the more excited he became.
"I, I want to go to the restroom..."
Wen Shu told a lie with a straight face, hoping to slip away, biting her lip in frustration at her voice.
She opened her mouth to bite off the restraints on her wrist, dragging her legs, preparing to leave.
Yet, before her feet even touched the ground, a rough and scorching dragon tail wrapped around her slender ankle, dragging her back to the bed.
A tall figure, slick with sweat, slowly enveloped her, the heavy, ambiguous atmosphere filling the tiny space between them.
"I’ll go with you..."
Wen Shu shut her eyes tightly.
She was doomed.
...
At sea, the weather changed unpredictably, and the second day after setting sail, heavy rain poured down, only for the clouds to slowly disperse on the third night’s fall.
A sliver of bright moonlight filtered through the window, casting onto Wen Shu’s flushed face.
She blinked tiredly, feeling an arm pressed against her lower abdomen.
"Luo Fei," she slightly propped herself up, feeling the lingering connection between them, her face darkened again, "I’m hungry..."
Having eaten and drunk to his fill, Luo Fei was in a good mood now, hearing her weak voice requesting from him, softening his heart into a bundle.
With reluctance, he kissed the top of her hair, "I’ll be back soon."
"Okay."
Wen Shu curled her lips inwardly, maintaining a straight face, feeling the strange sensation in her body as he left, cursing inwardly.
Damn bastard, he better not touch her again for a month...
Watching Luo Fei leave, Wen Shu swiftly activated her superpower, dragging her sore legs, hiding in the next room.
As she lifted her eyes, she met a pair of bloodshot golden eyes.
