The Cannon-Fodder Villainess Faked Her Death, Her Five Beast Mates Go Wild-Chapter 171: The Bustling Royal City

Although they had the idea of opening a shop, the three of them had just escaped danger and were too weary to be motivated.

Especially Wen Shu, who was pregnant.

Planning to rest for another day, she tried hard to ignore the secret rivalry between Luo Fei and Wu Xuan. After dinner, she returned to her room and soaked in a hot bath.

The warm water flowed over her chest, greatly relieving her body’s fatigue.

She sighed comfortably, shrinking further into the water, her nape resting on the edge of the tub.

Gazing at the increasingly blurred Glazed Lamp through the steam overhead, her thoughts drifted aimlessly...

"Ashu."

Amidst the haze, a hoarse, choking voice slowly sounded from behind her.

The overly familiar voice caught Wen Shu’s soft heart by surprise, but she did not turn around.

Her cold demeanor caused the intruder’s breath to hitch, and two strong arms wrapped around her shoulders, pulling her tightly into an embrace.

"I miss you so much."

A burning wetness fell on her face.

Wen Shu clenched her palm, trying hard to maintain her composure. When her gaze met those deep green eyes, she couldn’t help but feel a sour ache.

"Mious..."

She parted her lips, wanting to question why he broke his promise. Mious, his eyes red at the corners, seemed unable to hear her voice and mumbled to himself, "Where are you?"

Wen Shu was stunned, and before she could ponder further, a warm hand brushed lightly against her jaw.

"Ashu, we are looking for you."

Nan’s gentle face suddenly appeared amidst the white steam.

It’s a dream...

The thought had just emerged when the scene before her vanished instantly.

Wen Shu suddenly opened her eyes, finding the bathroom empty and the water already cold.

"It was indeed a dream."

She placed her palm on her forehead, trying to push herself up, but her abdomen seemed to sense something, a warmth tinged with a sense of consolation emerging.

Wen Shu blinked, her palm slowly falling, gently pressing against her still-flat abdomen, her mood somewhat subtle...

Just as she was in a daze, the males walked into the room.

Before the door could close, Wu Xuan’s lowered voice faintly reached her ears, "Ashu is pregnant, it’s inconvenient with so many people, you should sleep in another room."

Luo Fei let out a cold laugh, "Why should I? I can take care of her too. What, are you eager to drive me away because you’re afraid Ashu might like me more?"

After the breakfast incident, Wu Xuan became somewhat more rational and was less easily provoked by Luo Fei’s words.

"Because I might be the father of the child."

His powerful retort left Luo Fei speechless for a moment.

The room fell into silence, through the closed door, Wen Shu could even feel the tense atmosphere.

These two had been at loggerheads the entire day.

She felt it was necessary to seek advice from other females on how to make Beast Husbands coexist harmoniously.

Wen Shu let out a silent sigh, lifted her hand to open the door, met both their gazes, pulled each one by the hand, and dragged them to the bed.

"Take off your shoes."

Wu Xuan looked puzzled but obediently did as told.

It was the first time Wen Shu took the initiative, excitement flashed in Luo Fei’s eyes as he leisurely climbed onto the bed, his eyes slightly upturned, "Come, it’s warm beside me."

As he reached out to pull her into his embrace, Wen Shu stepped back, with a serious expression, and patted the edge of the bed.

"Behave, sit cross-legged by the bed, I’ll teach you how to enhance your spiritual power."

Hearing her say this, Wu Xuan obediently followed, his golden eyes filled with the desire for knowledge.

Luo Fei, on the other hand, was initially rejected and his smile faded for a few seconds before he reluctantly joined, though clearly less interested.

However, once he realized that Wen Shu’s method was indeed effective, the look on his face, as if accompanying her child’s play, instantly turned a bit more serious.

Seeing both enter the state of meditation, Wen Shu too sat cross-legged.

The rich energy coursed through her body.

Ever since purifying the sea area, the spiritual power of this body has advanced to another bottleneck.

The glowing white light in her palm was intense, and she had a premonition that with more practice, her power would surpass that of her previous life.

The brief night passed quickly.

Early in the morning, Wen Shu went out to look for a shop.

As soon as she stepped out of the castle, a pair of Beastman lovers hurried by, muttering about being late or something.

Wen Shu felt puzzled, and upon reaching the city center, she was instantly overwhelmed by the bustling scene before her.

In the wide and clean streets, giant carriages carried the saplings of enormous trees, moving through the crowded masses.

The towering tree shadows slowly moved overhead.

Wen Shu looked up, seeing the gentle breeze making the jewels hanging from the branches jingle, while dazzling streamers fluttered down.

"Please make way!"

The Beastmen cheered, reaching out to grab a streamer and either tucked it into their bosom with sincerity or excitement, expressing their hopes.

"Beast God, I hope my rank will soar this year and the beloved female will choose me!"

"Great Beast God, please grant me a litter of cubs!"

"My female is about to give birth, may she and the cubs be safe..."

Wen Shu and Wu Xuan, coming from the tribe, had never seen such a scene.

Luo Fei, however, had heard of it before, and he kept a shielded distance from the excited Beastmen, explaining in a low voice.

"The Divine Tree festival is approaching, but only a few nobles can attend."

He and Wu Xuan cleared a path and added, "The Yisha Empire values equality, yet cannot break the rules set by the three major empires."

"So in the days around the festival, the Royal City holds such a parade..."

As the lively crowd gradually moved away, Wen Shu cast her eyes around the surroundings, "So this is the Royal City of Yisha Empire."

Unlike the Beast City of Alentia.

Though this city’s high buildings were also prominent, they were interspersed with several exquisitely crafted retro wooden houses.

At a glance they seemed incongruous, but upon closer inspection, the design between the wood houses and high-rises blended the wildness of the tribes with elegance, exuding a unique exotic charm.

Just from this, the inclusive nature of the Yisha Empire was apparent.

Wen Shu developed a fondness for this city.

Her gaze swept over the wooden houses, noticing the signs for rent posted, she walked closer, still not forgetting to ask, "Will a Priest come to bless on the day of the Divine Tree festival?"

Luo Fei was a little surprised, "Yes, how do you know?"

"A... friend told me."

Wen Shu knocked on the door, pensively glancing back, "If I want to participate in the festival, what are the requirements?"

This question stunned the males for a moment.

Ashu wanted to attend the Divine Tree festival?

Wu Xuan blinked, but since the female wanted to attend, he would support her wholeheartedly, so he also looked at Luo Fei.

Being stared at by both, Luo Fei maintained his composure, leisurely hooked Wen Shu’s arm, and raised an eyebrow, "What are you going to do? If it’s to meet a lover, I won’t help."

In some ways, he was indeed hitting the mark, but she genuinely had something important to do.

But she dared not say it, for with Luo Fei’s personality, if he knew she was going to meet Yining, he’d surely interfere.

Wen Shu’s eyes flickered, her lips pressed into a line, she whispered, "What are you thinking? It’s just that I want to know something in advance, it’s very important to me."

More accurately, this matter concerned all the Beastmen.

Luo Fei, fooled by Wen Shu’s adept acting, lowered his slightly raised brows.

"In principle, only royal members and a small number of nobles can attend, but... if invited by the royal family, one can at least catch a glimpse from the outskirts."

He pondered for a while, still somewhat puzzled, "Actually, even the inner circle of the royal family can’t see much."

"The Divine Tree has long sunk beneath the ground, now it’s just an enormous transplanted tree..."
