Chapter 9 - Chapter 9: Love at First Sight?

"It's truly a shocking surprise! It's the first time I've seen spiritual power regress! With only 1% pregnancy value, there's no other female in all of Alentia lower than you!"

Belinda's wanton mocking voice sounded from behind.

Wen Shu had a cold expression, ignoring her, and walked straight towards the seat not far away.

Having been inexplicably schemed against, she wasn't a mud person without a temper. Since Belinda wanted to see her embarrassed, ignoring her was the best counterattack.

Sure enough, being ignored again, Belinda's face turned as black as ink, silently cursing in her heart. On any other day, this wicked female would have been furious after losing face, yet today she endured!

She let out a contemptuous snort, "Heh, if you weren't the chief's offspring, how are you any different from trash? You've embarrassed us to other tribes, I wonder how long you can keep up this act!"

As she spoke, her eyes were full of vengeful malice, quickened her steps, and charged at Wen Shu with raised shoulders.

Hearing the sudden quickening of footsteps behind her, Wen Shu's ear twitched slightly.

Just as she was about to be hit, Wen Shu swiftly sidestepped, tripping Belinda with a hooked foot.

"Ah—" Belinda couldn't dodge in time, stepping into a stumble and falling straight to the ground, planted face-first, scraping a layer of skin off her elbow.

"Wen Shu!"

Twisting in pain, she scrambled up from the ground in a sorry state, "You dare trick me? What, wasn't I telling the truth! You—"

Before she could finish, Wen Shu swiftly advanced, grabbing her arm firmly, "Belinda, I don't want to be enemies with you and Xi Ya any longer..."

Wen Shu didn't want to get involved in the past grudges between the original owner and Belinda's group.

But with Belinda's repeated offenses, if she didn't do something, she'd likely be bothered by these two rivals every day.

She gazed expressionlessly into Belinda's eyes and slowly spoke, "It's beneficial for both if we don't provoke each other, but if you insist on coming at me,"

Her warning gaze swept over Belinda's bleeding wound, "bear the consequences."

Intimidated by Wen Shu's cold gaze, a layer of cold sweat appeared on Belinda's forehead, feeling as if a giant hand had gripped her throat, almost suffocating her.

This feeling Belinda had only experienced facing ruthless bandits...

Seeing she achieved the desired effect, Wen Shu flung her hand away and headed to the seat.

Belinda swayed, coming back to her senses, realizing her back was drenched in cold sweat.

Damn it! Since when did Wen Shu become so terrifying, and she was actually intimidated by this trash, and in front of everyone no less!

Belinda noticed the prying gazes around her, leaving with a careless expression but an unwilling look cast at Wen Shu seated, her nails dug deep into her palm.

This explosive scene was fully witnessed by the Beastmen below the platform.

Several males who caught a clear look at Wen Shu's gaze had their hair stand on edge. They had never seen such a murderous aura from a female before!

"Female, Wen Shu, female..."

A nameless surge stirred and rippled in their chest, their eyes fervently following Wen Shu, who had retracted her aura, their gaze heating up once more.

Then they saw Wen Shu lazily lean back in her seat, returning to her indifferent demeanor.

Pulling out a cluster of yellow grapes from a stone bowl, Wen Shu ate while looking towards the arenas on either side.

Belinda and Ya'an had high spiritual power and pregnancy values, coupled with outstanding looks, attracting a large number of young males.

At the moment, Ya'an's territory already had two males introducing themselves, tearing off their shirts, transforming into beast form in the arena, and engaged in combat.

She watched with interest, suddenly feeling a scorching gaze on her face.

Following the line of sight downward, she unexpectedly met a pair of intensely hot golden vertical pupils.

A tall, handsome male stood on the platform at an unknown time, wearing scantily, just a black beast skin skirt, with a healthy natural light wheat color on his wild muscular upper body.

His facial profile was sharp, his features bore a deep exotic Beastman quality, with a small scar at the end of his left eyebrow, exuding a roguish vibe when looking at someone.

Seeing Wen Shu looking his way, the male felt his heart flutter, but his gaze unwavering, he leaped into the arena.

Trying hard to maintain his composure, he pressed his fist to his shoulder and introduced himself with a flushed face, "Female, my name is Wu Xuan, from the Snow Leopard Tribe!"

His rich, sexy voice entered her ear, making Wen Shu suspect it was an illusion.

She rubbed her eyes, opened them again, and found a scattered line of Beastmen still queuing at the registration point below her seat!

Wen Shu gripped the handrail, straightened up in disbelief, and advised, "Are you not clear about the test results just now? My pregnancy value is only 1%, and my spiritual power is only at the Second Level."

Wu Xuan was stunned for a moment; he indeed hadn't noticed these things.

He was forced by his parents to attend the gladiatorial tournament. When he stood in the back row and occasionally looked at the platform.

Through thousands of Beastmen, he captured the transparent, captivating eyes of the female at a glance. At that moment when his heartbeat went out of balance, he knew this was what his parents called love at first sight!

Seeing the female in front of him slightly widen her eyes, Wu Xuan's heart fluttered again... The female is kind of cute.

His ears turned crimson. As he gazed up at her extraordinarily bright eyes, he confessed straightforwardly, "That's right, Wen Shu female, I've fallen in love with you at first sight, and I want to pursue you, to become mates with you!"

Wen Shu was burned by his fervent gaze and wanted to persuade him further, but another male entered the gladiatorial arena.

"Female, I come from the Bear Beast Tribe, and I am a Fifth-Rank Beastman! I want to become mates with you too!"

The Bear Beast was simple and crude, announcing his participation in the duel and directly tearing off the animal skins, bowing and transforming into a strong black bear.

Wen Shu didn't have time to close her eyes!

The corner of her mouth twitched. If every Beastman behaved like this, she seriously doubted she would get a sty.

Noticing her evasive action, Wu Xuan untied the grass rope around his waist and considerately did not remove the animal-skin skirt, transforming into a pitch-black panther comparable in size to the male beast.

The Bear Beast leveraged its size advantage, lunging hard at the black panther.

In a blink of an eye, the black panther agilely dodged the Bear Beast's attack. Upon landing, its explosively powerful hind limbs kicked hard, swiftly biting the black bear's neck!

"Bang!"

The Bear Beast didn't even have time to struggle before its gigantic body was heavily knocked down to the ground.

The black panther, triumphant with a single blow, exuded a dangerous yet graceful aura. It took a couple of steps forward, golden eyes glancing at the Bear Beast's torn animal skin skirt.

With a mischievous lift of its paw, it smacked it away, proudly looking at Wen Shu, assuming the posture of a victor.

The males outside the arena recognized him, "It's Wu Xuan! The black panther from the Snow Leopard Tribe!"

"Hasn't he been an adult for several years, always unwilling to find a female?"

The males in line began to retreat, "With such fighting capability, is he really only Sixth Rank? That Bear Beast was Fifth Rank and was taken down in one move?!"

"Haven't you heard of Wu Xuan? He's notoriously fierce, I've seen him fight before, he fights like a madman, willing to risk his life to win..."

As soon as the words came out, the males in line exchanged glances, and half of them dispersed in an uproar.

Wu Xuan looked back at the remaining males, then looked at Wen Shu with a determined look.

Another male beast transformed on the stage, Wen Shu's fingers kept tapping the handrail. She couldn't understand why these males would choose her.

She was uncertain about her future and didn't want to find a Beast Husband at all.

Seeing that a fight was about to break out again, Wen Shu stood up and shouted to stop them, "Stop! I'm not planning to find a new Beast Husband!"

The two beasts confronting each other on the field froze and simultaneously reverted to human form.

Wu Xuan took a few steps closer to her, his handsome face showing some tension, "Female, what are you saying?"

After finally encountering a female he liked, he absolutely couldn't let this opportunity slip away!

Wen Shu's eyes were firm, "I am not planning to take a new Beast Husband. Today, my friend signed me up on my behalf."

She paused for a moment, then added to extinguish this group of males' enthusiasm completely, "Besides, I very much like my two Beast Husbands, and I don't plan to take anyone new in the future. Having Nan and Mious at my side is enough."

Her clear and resolute voice reached every Beastman's ears.

The males in the gladiatorial arena gasped, and even the females on the side secretly glanced over, their expressions somewhat surprised.

In the Beast World's one female, many male systems, females were bold and passionate in emotions, but also became fickle and promiscuous, accepting all comers.

After becoming mates, few females would fervently express love for their Beast Husbands again, let alone be faithful enough to reject all other males for them!

No one disliked a devoted female, even if she couldn't bear children. As long as she had few males, Second Order Spiritual Power was enough to appease them.

The male beasts became more eager, jumping into the gladiatorial arena one after another.

Wu Xuan coldly surveyed them, stepping forward first, "Female, I challenge your Beast Husbands to a life-and-death duel!"
