Chapter 314: Become a partner with Chi Mo?
……
the other side--
When Bai Susu woke up, she found herself being taken to a temple and locked up. This temple was where the sacred artifacts were kept. Every room had a protective shield, and she couldn't escape.
She could feel that this temple contained a lot of rich and powerful forces. These forces did not belong here, and they were restless, as if gathering in a certain place.
Bai Susu sat on a chair in the room. Her injuries had been treated and the elemental device had been removed.
She exchanged a painkiller pill with the system and took it, then exchanged it for a candy to hold in her mouth. Every time she felt anxious and overwhelmed, she would hold a candy in her mouth to relieve her anxiety.
The door opened, and she saw Chi Mo walk in with a plate of freshly grilled meat in his hand. When he saw her, a smile immediately filled his face: "Su Su, are you hungry? I brought you some cooked meat."
Bai Susu said with a cold face: "Take it away, I don't want to eat it."
Chi Mo knew that Bai Susu was angry, so he put the meat on the wooden table beside him. When he saw Bai Susu's wound, he felt distressed.
"Your injury is very serious. The elemental device has pierced into your bones. It must be painful, right?" Chi Mo's voice trembled as he said this.
He didn't expect that Bai Susu would try to take out the thing by force, even at the cost of cutting her own bones. Fortunately, the elemental device had a protective shield, so she did not succeed.
Chi Mo wanted to touch her, but she slapped his hand away and said disgustedly: "Chi Mo, don't pretend in front of me. I am like this now because of you. I feel sick just by looking at you now."
Chi Mo felt sad, but he used a smile to hide his sadness: "Even if I don't do this, you can't leave Beast City."
Bai Susu looked up in surprise, and Chi Mo said, "You are a five-striped female, which is rare everywhere. Even if I let you go, I'm afraid those orcs in the city won't be willing.
Moreover, once you leave the city, you will be targeted by stray beasts and mutant beasts and put in danger. I am doing this to protect you."
Bai Susu rolled her eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to Chi Mo. She was tired and bored.
In order to please Bai Susu, Chi Mo knelt down in front of her, grabbed her hand, and said affectionately: "Stay, I will treat you well."
Bai Susu looked down at Chi Mo, his eyes were full of crazy love. Besides, he knelt on his knees to lower his posture. She didn't expect that a young lord of Beast City would be like this in front of her.
She was silent. She was not moved but felt terrified. She just felt that Chi Mo was fake.
In the animal world, females are rare and precious. On the surface, some things respect females and allow them to choose their partners. But in reality, everything changes when females become weak and unable to protect themselves and can only rely on males to survive.
It seems that females are still respected, but in fact, the opposite has long been the case. Females have become the "prey" of males. Weak females have no other choice but to be forced to obey if they want to survive in this chaotic animal world.
Nowadays, resources are scarce, the living environment of orcs is becoming increasingly harsh, the health of females is getting worse and worse, and the cubs they give birth to also have extremely poor physical conditions, making it difficult for them to survive.
High-level females are even scarcer, so at this time, the appearance of a five-striped female like her is like a treasure, and these guys will definitely not let her leave.
Seeing that she was silent, Chi Mo lifted her hair and looked at her gently: "You are angry at this moment. I know you don't want to pay attention to me. After a while, you will understand that I am doing this for your own good."
As he was speaking, a voice came from outside the palace door, and the city lord came. As soon as the city lord entered the door, Bai Susu noticed that the city lord's overall condition was extremely poor. He was becoming more and more exhausted, the wounds on his body were filled with pus, and his eyes were gradually becoming dull.
It seems like it's about to die!
Bai Susu only took one look and noticed many strange things: [This city lord was very majestic when he first met him, and he had great power. Even though he was seventy years old, he was suppressed by his powerful aura and strength in his original form.
How come after not seeing him for a while, the city lord has become so tired and his condition is getting worse?
The system heard Bai Susu's thoughts and appeared to answer her questions: [This system has detected that the power of the city lord's artifact is getting weaker than before. He was so strong before, probably because of the power of the artifact.]
System: [I sense some strange power within the city master. This city master has a serious underlying illness that has a significant impact on his health. He shouldn't have lived past forty years old, but he managed to live to seventy.]
[He is like this probably because he frequently overused his strength to protect the Beast City in a short period of time, and his body couldn't bear it, so he became like this.
This city lord is almost reaching his limit.]
After the system said this, Bai Susu remembered the previous incident with the Mind Gathering Mirror. Many orcs were infected by evil spirits and went crazy, hurting their own kind. The city was in chaos, and it was the city lord who led everyone to protect the female cubs and old beasts.
In places where we cannot see, he is also working hard to protect everyone.
At his age, he could have just hidden himself away and forgotten everything, but he still came forward and saved the orcs in the city at the cost of his life.
This guy is a strong leader who is responsible for his people. It is a blessing for this Beast City to have such a city lord.
Compared to some people in her world, who hold high positions and great power, but shield evil people, allow evil people to grow their malicious intentions and mingle with them, without caring about the suffering of the people.
Bai Susu admires such orcs who are dedicated to their duties, will not destroy the interests of everyone for their own benefit, and seek a way out for all their people.
It’s a pity that this leader who is so devoted to his own people is not in the same camp as herself. She withdrew her gaze with anger in her eyes.
When Chi Mo saw the city lord, he performed the animal salute to him: "City lord."
The city lord nodded, then came to Bai Susu. Bai Susu was very angry about the city lord's breach of contract, but seeing that the city lord was old, he kept a lot of dissatisfaction in his heart.
The city lord is so old and weak. If she gets into any trouble, I'm afraid the orcs in the city will resent her...
Bai Susu sat aside without saying a word. When the city lord saw Bai Susu like this, he knew she was angry. His eyes were gloomy, and he knew in his heart that Bai Susu was capable and could give birth to high-quality supernatural beast cubs.
He smiled kindly and said to Bai Susu in a gentle manner: "Female, I have no choice but to change my mind this time. For the sake of Beast City, I can only do this. If you want to blame someone, blame me."
Bai Susu said coldly, "The City Lord has so many frustrations. Does he have to sacrifice others every time to protect Beast City? As the Lord of a city, he actually has no credibility at all."
"I know that my decision makes you dissatisfied. I will give you a lot of items left by the Beast God to make it up to you." The city lord was stunned, his eyes full of sadness. He looked at Bai Susu with kindness, without the previous cruelty and hostility, and his tone was also a little weaker.
The city lord seemed to be a lower-ranking person in front of Bai Susu: "Beast City is no longer what it used to be. If Beast City collapses, all the beastmen in the Beast World will be destroyed."
"I made this decision for all the beastmen in the beast world, for everyone."
Bai Susu's eyes were dim and her attitude was firm: "You want to protect the Beast City, what does it have to do with me?"
City Lord: "The city needs special beast cubs. As long as the quality of the beast cubs in the city is good, there is a chance."
He looked at Bai Susu and said, "You have superb fertility and are a five-striped beast. The cubs born from you and the high-level beastmen will surely be of excellent quality."
"You are everyone's hope now. For the sake of all orcs, I can only do this. I will do my best to satisfy whatever you want in the future."
The city lord bowed to Bai Susu again and gave her a beastly salute: "I'm sorry."
Bai Susu looked at the city lord's humble and weak appearance and felt that there was something more to it. This city lord had indeed experienced all kinds of storms and his attitude changed very quickly when facing things.
As Ju Momo said, the city lord is usually cruel. In order to protect the entire Beast City, he uses extremely ruthless means. For the Beast City, he can do anything.
Such a cruel character is now so kind in front of her. Orcs like him are the most terrifying. They have very deep minds and she has no idea what he is thinking.
The city lord looked up and told her, "Once the beast wizard has calculated a date, I will have you and Chi Mo become partners under the witness of the divine stone, and have you give birth to a cub as soon as possible."
Chi Mo, standing by, looked at Bai Susu excitedly with a look of surprise. Bai Susu's pupils trembled: "What? Let me become his partner?"
