Wen Shu's shoulder was gripped by Lucius, forcing an abrupt turn. The male's hard, icy palm pressed against her back, making her skin crawl.
What does he want to do?
As this question emerged in her mind, Lucius bent down to whisper near her ear, reaching out to gather her long hair to one side, then moving around to face her. He smiled and said, "Female, you saved my life, and I would like to invite you to Beast City as a guest. Would you be willing to come?"
Sincerity flickered in his eyes, his lips slightly curved upwards, and his pale, slender hand slid from Wen Shu's shoulder down to her arm, gripping her firmly but tenderly.
From Bai Qiao and the others' perspective, his series of actions seemed less like inviting a female guest and more like a deeply affectionate courtship.
However, the experienced Bai Rong didn't see it this way. Lucius, being the real power behind the main city, wouldn't casually pursue a female.
