What happened just now?
No one saw anything.
Only Nie Fan knew that just now he almost... But he was suddenly hit by something.
Then he fell down, out of control.
âA-Fan.â
Hu Jiu reacted and went up to help Nie Fan up immediately. She asked worriedly, âHow are you? Where did you get hurt?â
Nie Fan felt a little better seeing Hu Jiu was so concerned about him.
Hu Jiu helped Nie Fan up. There were shapeshifters all around, so Hu Jiu took a victimâs stance immediately. âYao Luo, what exactly do you want! We have no grudge against you, why did you do this to us...â
âBut now we have a grudge.â
â...â
The onlooking shapeshifters really had nothing to say, not to mention Hu Jiu.
Ming Shu made her point reasonably and there was no way to refute it.
The rule in the shapeshifter world was to do whatever you liked.
So it was really not a big deal to have a fight.
What mattered was who had won the fight.
âIf you are not convinced, come and fight one more time.â Ming Shu put her machete on her shoulder and smiled arrogantly. âWill you? Anytime.â
I can do this for my little cutie!
Hu Jiu thought of the time when Ming Shu fought against the boar tribe, she took out so many of those weapons easily.
There were so many of them, how on earth had she done that?
And...
Last time she snatched one from her, but it was taken away halfway through the battle inexplicably, and she didnât even see clearly who it was.
âA-Fan...â Hu Jiuâs eyes reddened, tears hanging at the corners of her eyes. She sounded extremely wronged.
Faced with Hu Jiuâs tearful eyes, all Nie Fan wanted to do now was kill Ming Shu.
This woman dared make A-Jiu so sad.
âA-Jiu, donât be scared. Iâll definitely seek justice for you,â Nie Fan comforted Hu Jiu.
âA-Jiu, A-Jiu.â
Cang Xiu ran out from nowhere. He brushed off Nie Fan and held Hu Jiu in his arms. âA-Jiu, are you all right?â
Hu Jiuâs tears kept streaming down her cheeks.
âNie Fan, what did you do to A-Jiu!â Cang Xiu smelled the scent on Hu Jiu and glared at Nie Fan ferociously all at once.
Shouted at by Cang Xiu in this way, Nie Fan sneered. âWhat would I do to A-Jiu? Donât yell randomly when you canât figure out whatâs going on.â
Nie Fan was jealous of Cang Xiu for being Hu Jiuâs mate, while Cang Xiu was wary of Nie Fan seducing Hu Jiu, so actually these two were not kind to each other.
Ming Shu bit into the dried sweet potato and cut in the conversation immediately, âItâs me, I did it, and itâs none of his business. If you have any problem, donât hold it in, just vent on me.â
Ming Shu decided to take the blame again.
Where the hatred is, is where I will be!
âYao Luoââ
Cang Xiu turned his head to see Ming Shu and called her, gritting his teeth.
Memories of previous humiliations came back to him.
The way Cang Xiu looked at her became more and more furious.
But Ming Shu responded to him with a clear voice. âHey.â
Cang Xiu: â...â
[Additional Task: Gain Hatred Points from Cang Xiu.]
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows.
I have a fair and square reason to beat him up now.
Cang Xiu was about to argue with Ming Shu about why she had to bully Hu Jiu, but then the female with the machete on her shoulder suddenly moved.
She moved and brought the wind; Cang Xiu felt a figure flash past his front, then his wrist was pulled and he had to release Hu Jiu. The scene began to blur and he fell down with his back against the ground.
Cang Xiu was dazed. The next second, when he saw clearly who it was above his head, two clusters of angry fire began to burn in his eyes.
He supported himself on the ground with both hands and jumped up.
Boom!
Before he could stand up, he was smashed to the ground again.
âA-Xiu!â Hu Jiu shouted anxiously.
âA-Jiu, donât come over!â Cang Xiu shouted toward Hu Jiu.
...Although Hu Jiu didnât mean to come over.
...
When the black dog leader arrived, Ming Shu had almost beaten Cang Xiu dead. Hu Jiu shouted Cang Xiuâs name with tears, but Nie Fan pulled her to his side.
The onlooking shapeshifters didnât have the heart to watch.
Theyâd seen many fights, but this kind of unilateral beating was rare to see.
âYao Luo... Leader, whatâs this about?â the black dog leader asked while knowing the answer.
âJust doing some exercise.â Ming Shu threw Cang Xiu aside, adjusted her clothes, and smiled very calmly.
The black dog leader looked at Cang Xiu and his fear of Ming Shu increased a lot. âItâs my place, Leader Yao Luo, at least give me a chance to be the host.â
Ming Shu was about to diss the black dog leader, but Ming Zhe pulled her arm and shook his head quickly.
âWe have official business tomorrow, I hope we can get along in peace for now,â the black dog leader continued. âIf you donât have anything else to do here, go back and take a rest, everyone.â
The black dog leaderâs official business made all the rest shut up successfully.
Ming Shu was pulled away by Ming Zhe.
She looked back at Hu Jiu and gave her a loving gesture smilingly.
Hu Jiu: â...â
Although she didnât understand what it meant... Was this woman crazy?
Ming Zhe pulled Ming Shu back to the place where they were arranged to have a rest.
âWhy did you pull me away?â
Ming Zheâs expression was not good and his whole body even shivered.
He looked around nervously, so Ming Shu followed his sight; meanwhile, Wen Nuan was staring at them with two round eyes thirsting for knowledge. The rest of the shapeshifters were whispering to each other. Nothing else seemed strange.
âWhatâs wrong with Ming Zhe?â Wen Nuan asked.
These shapeshifters didnât allow her to go over.
Ming Shu shrugged. She didnât know, either.
After quite a long time, Ming Zhe said hesitantly, âI... I seemed to have seen the beast god just now.â
Hearing this, all the shapeshifters looked at him.
The air became silent.
Ming Shu raised her eyebrows. âDo you know what a beast god looks like? Besides, isnât it your god? You should be happy to see it, but why are you so scared?â
âIt looked just like the beast god patterns... But it seemed a little different. I donât know how to describe it.â Ming Zhe became incoherent. âI just feel scared.â
âThere were so many shapeshifters out there, but no one saw anything. How did you see it?â
âI donât know, he... He stood in the distance... and itâs like... he flashed... I donât know if I saw it wrong...â Ming Zhe was almost crying.
Ming Shu didnât find anything abnormal back there.
Nie Fan suddenly fell down, but it was Little Beastie who did it...
âOkay okay, whatever. If something really has to happen, we have so many shapeshifters around us, itâs not your turn to die.â
Ming Shu comforted Ming Zhe for a while then left him to Wen Nuan.
The rest of the clansmen crowded over out of curiosity and they didnât quiet down until a long time later.
The camp also became quiet gradually. Ming Shu sat outside the shed and looked at the lights and shadows in the distance.
...
Hu Jiu and Cang Xiu returned to the wolf pack together. Nie Fan felt worried so he also followed them there.
Nie Fan watched Hu Jiu apply the medicine to Cang Xiu and frowned. âA-Jiu, is it true that Yao Luo has been possessed by a witcher spirit?â
Hu Jiu continued her work and nodded after hearing this. âA-Xiu knew her as well, and she wasnât like this before. She also has strange weapons with her, so I canât think of any other reason except for a witcher spirit.â
Cang Xiu moaned in pain and didnât deny it. âHow could a female be so powerful?â
Hu Jiu bit her lip. âBut it seems all the other shapeshifters are scared of her...â
