Chapter 295 Human Females Fleeing in the Beast World 23
He was one of the few friends she truly trusted, but this trip back to El City with Herren was fraught with danger, and it was far too perilous for Hu Le to stay by her side.
Moreover, Shen Chumo could tell that Hu Le really liked this town, so letting him stay here and continue to live a peaceful life was the best choice for him.
After nightfall, Shen Chumo secretly went out and arrived at the entrance of the town. She was busy all night before hurriedly returning to her house.
Upon entering, I saw Herren sitting in the middle of the living room, his aura extremely low. When he saw Shen Chumo return, he let out a barely perceptible sigh of relief.
But then, Herren's expression darkened, and his tone became somewhat accusatory.
"You still know how to come back."
Shen Chumo raised an eyebrow. "What? You thought I ran away overnight? Where could I have run off to by myself?"
Helen looked at Shen Chumo, frowned, and then noticed that Shen Chumo's face was pale and she looked exhausted. The questioning impulse in his heart immediately subsided, replaced by worry, and his tone unconsciously softened.
"What happened to you? How did you get like this after just going out?"
Shen Chumo gently shook her head. "It's nothing, I'm just too tired. I'll be fine after a rest."
Shen Chumo spent the whole night setting up a maze, which really took a lot of her energy and strength.
This formation was set up so that if any outsiders accidentally wandered into the town, it would disrupt their senses and cause them to return to their original place.
This was the last thing she could do for this small town.
Helen knew that Shen Chumo was hiding some things from him, but he wasn't in a hurry. There was plenty of time, and one day he would make Shen Chumo willingly tell him all her secrets.
Herren patted Shen Chumo's head. "Go and rest. We'll set off once you've rested enough."
After waking up, Shen Chumo felt much better, though she still felt a little weak.
After leaving the room, Shen Chumo saw that Herren had prepared everything. Hu Le and Lin Zheng were in the living room. Shen Chumo said her final goodbyes to the two of them. Under their reluctant gazes, the two of them got into the old car and slowly left the town.
Herren got into the car, took out a bottle of eye drops, and put them in his eyes. His pupils instantly returned to their original lake blue color.
Shen Chumo looked into his eyes and exclaimed, "Very beautiful eyes."
That's absolutely true; Herren's pupils are the color of jewels.
Upon hearing Shen Chumo's praise, a faint smile appeared on Herren's face.
“All the people in our family have blue eyes. The purer the color of the pupil, the higher the family talent he has inherited.”
The major families in the Beast Realm place great importance on bloodlines, one of the reasons being that they all have their own lineages, and family talents are an extremely important part of that.
Like the family Herren belongs to, their unique blue pupils are not only a physical feature, but also a symbol of the family's honor and strength.
Shen Chumo blinked curiously and asked, "Your pupils are such a pure color, does that mean you inherited a particularly powerful family talent? Tell me quickly, what exactly is this talent?"
Herren chuckled softly, a hint of pride flashing in his eyes. "Our family's talent is related to elemental manipulation. I inherited the ability to manipulate water elements, and I am considered one of the best among my peers in the family."
As he spoke, he raised his hand, and a small, crystal-clear water sphere slowly condensed in his palm. Inside the water sphere, light seemed to flow, refracting a colorful halo.
He gently flicked his finger, and the water ball began to dance nimbly at his fingertips, sometimes transforming into a water dragon swirling in the air, and sometimes into a blooming water lily.
The more Shen Chumo looked, the heavier her heart became. To her, the more powerful the beastmen were, the more disadvantageous it was for her. The beastmen's physical strength and power already far exceeded those of humans, and now they also had this talent. The world was truly unfair.
The two continued on their way. Halfway there, a brand-new aircraft roared down from the sky and landed steadily a short distance in front of their car, kicking up a cloud of dust.
This aircraft resembles a giant mechanical bird from the future, radiating a cold and oppressive metallic sheen. Its overall shape is sleek and streamlined, with simple yet powerful lines.
The process of purchasing flying vehicles in the Beast Realm is quite complicated; in short, even if you have money, you may not be able to buy one.
Shen Chumo initially thought the aircraft belonged to Helen, but Helen's expression instantly turned serious upon seeing it, and he lightly tapped the steering wheel with his fingers.
The hatch slowly opened, and several orcs dressed in black tight-fitting clothes walked out. They had cold eyes and exuded a dangerous aura.
The leader was a tall man in a long black robe, the collar of which was half-open, revealing his muscular chest. His face had strong, chiseled features, and his golden pupils gleamed in the sunlight.
Beneath his high, straight nose, his thin lips curled slightly upward, bearing a faint, cold smile that conveyed no warmth whatsoever, but rather an endless chill.
A few stray hairs fell on either side of her face, swaying gently in the breeze, adding to her unruly and arrogant air.
"Helen, you've given us quite a search," the man said coldly, a hint of sarcasm in his voice.
Herren got out of the car and coughed lightly. "Ayan, you've made such a big fuss, even using a flying vehicle, just to ambush me?"
Pei Yan glanced at Shen Chumo inside the car, then crossed his arms.
"If I hadn't come to confront you personally, you probably would have taken her home by now, right? Herren, don't forget who you are."
Herren chuckled, leaning against the car door, and said slowly, "Ayan, you know my temper. If I like something, I'll get it no matter what."
"For the sake of our years of brotherhood, I'll take him. I'll compensate you for your losses, just to save face for you."
"Are you serious?" Pei Yan raised an eyebrow. "Just for a human?"
Pei Yan glanced at Shen Chumo, his eyes filled with coldness. This female was truly formidable; even Herren was completely captivated by her. He felt a surge of annoyance, but he couldn't vent it.
"Hmm, money can't buy my happiness."
Seeing Helen's stubbornness and his deep, unfathomable eyes, Pei Yan considered the matter for a moment.
He sighed and said, "Fine, Herren, I give up. For the sake of our years of brotherhood, I can give her to you, but you need to think carefully. This Shen Chumo is not just an ordinary human being."
She attracted the attention of many powerful figures in the fighting arena. Taking her away like this will likely get you into serious trouble.
Herren simply smiled faintly, "Ayan, since I dare to take her away, I'm not afraid of those troubles. I've considered all of what you've said."
