“Wu……”


  Wen Nuan’s wail of sorrow rose to the very sky.

  Ming Shu looked over at where the noise came from. Wen Nuan ran back from outside the valley and cried while running.

  The shapeshifters in the valley all looked at her confusedly.

  Wen Nuan threw herself into Ming Shu’s arms. “Wuwuwu……”


  Ming Shu hurriedly hid the evidence that she hadn’t had time to destroy behind her— the dried sweet potatoes—and handed them to Yun Huang quickly.

  “What’s wrong? Who bullied you? Let Ming Zhe take his men and wipe out their tribe.”


  Wen Nuan continued weeping. “I…… I may be about to die soon.”


  Ming Shu reached out to touch her forehead. “There’s no fever.”


  Wen Nuan choked with sobs. “I will never save people that I don’t know.”


  Ming Shu: “.……”


  Wen Nuan cried for a long time. Yun Huang stood behind them and frowned more and more heavily.

  Just as Yun Huang was about to explode, Wen Nuan finally began to report with tears.

  Ming Shu didn’t expect that psychopath Luo Yan to be this far out of his mind. He dared to threaten the female protagonist.

  Ming Shu asked, “Where did he punch you?”


  Wen Nuan pointed at her own arm with wronged eyes.

  Ming Shu checked her arm and found a little red dot, created by something she didn’t know. If it were not that Wen Nuan was not a shapeshifter and had fair skin, the red dot wouldn’t have been visible.

  “He said…… it’s poisonous. If I don’t take Yun Huang to him, I’ll die.”


  “Don’t listen to his bragging.” Ming Shu pinched Wen Nuan’s wrist.

  Wen Nuan sniffed and her big, tearful eyes were full of doubt. “Did he lie to me?”


  “Relax, it’s not a problem for you to live for decades.”

  “Really?” As soon as she heard that she didn’t need to die, Wen Nuan’s eyes lit up.

  “Really.” Ming Shu pushed her away. “Stop crying. You’re ugly this way.”


  Wen Nuan wiped off her tears. “Leader…… Why did that freak want me to take Yun Huang to him?”


  Did he hold a grudge against Yun Huang? Or did he want to use Yun Huang to threaten the leader?

  All kinds of possibilties started flying around in Wen Nuan’s head.

  Ming Shu grunted. “How would I know what a freak is thinking?”


  Wen Nuan regretted so much. Why did she have to save a freak, a pervert.

  “What, what should I do now……”


  “Don’t go out and he’ll do nothing to you.”


  “Oh……”


  Ming Shu comforted Wen Nuan and then Ming Zhe came to take her away.

  “Leader…… I saw you eating dried sweet potatoes just now.” Wen Nuan was escorted by Ming Zhe, and she turned her head, sobbing and saying, “Those were prepared for the winter.”


  Ming Shu: “.……”
……

  Luo Yan never thought that Wen Nuan wouldn’t follow procedure but report to Ming Shu as soon as she returned.

  Actually, Ming Shu was a big brother of mysterious origins in Wen Nuan’s heart, and she was just not someone that a psychopath could compare to.

  If he knew that earlier, he would have poisoned her for real instead of threatening her.

  Pitifully, he didn’t know it ahead of time and there were no pills of regret for him.

  So what happened next was Luo Yan wandered around the valley and tried every way to approach Yun Huang.

  Yun Huang never left the valley. Luo Yan’s hair turned gray with anxiety as he watched the valley from outside all day long.

  He needed to tell everyone what happened here when he went back.

  Later, Luo Yan began to think of ways to get himself into the valley, but was caught by Ming Shu several times. If he hadn’t run fast, he would have said goodbye to this world……

  The winter came.

  In this world’s winter, it did not snow, but it was very cold. Shapeshifters would do all they could to survive the winter, but some of them couldn’t make it in the end.

  Hu Jiu killed so many shapeshifters before and didn’t dare to show herself before other shapeshifters at all.

  Nie Fan had long been killed by the witcher spirit when Hu Jiu was occupied by it.

  She had nowhere to go.

  She also didn’t feel right about her own body. It seemed because the witcher spirit had used it, she felt pain every once in a while.

  After hiding and covering herself for some time, finally Hu Jiu couldn’t bear the hunger and cold and sneaked into a tribe’s camp to steal food.

  The tribe had many shapeshifters and stored up plenty of food.

  Hu Jiu avoided the shapeshifters guarding the storeroom and went in. Looking at so much food in front of her, Hu Jiu didn’t care about anything and began to gobble it up right away.

  “Who are you!”


  The shapeshifters’ exclamations sounded from behind her.

  Hu Jiu was startled but had no time to hide. She was caught right in the middle by the shapeshifters coming in.

  After a chaotic battle, Hu Jiu was captured and the shapeshifters pushed her out.

  “How dare she come here to steal.”


  “Lock her up and we’ll wait for the leader to deal with it.”


  “She’s a female……”


  Different voices drifted into Hu Jiu’s ears. She didn’t dare to look up for fear that they may recognize she was Hu Jiu.

  It was cloudy outside. Hu Jiu was locked up in an open space and the cold wind blew on her like a knife.

  Hu Jiu gritted her teeth, enduring all of it. She couldn’t let herself die in this way……

  She hadn’t had her revenge.

  “Leader.”


  “Leader, you are back.”


  Hearing the voices, Hu Jiu looked up slightly.

  A female shapeshifter came back with a group of shapeshifters, and with that female shapeshifter was also Cang Xiu.

  Cang Xiu was carried by several shapeshifters and the female shapeshifter took care of him very well, even blocking the cold wind for him.

  “Leader, we caught a female shapeshifter stealing things,” one of the shapeshifters reported to their leader.

  “Stealing?” Summer would be fine, but in this season, many animals didn’t come out and hunting was difficult, so stealing was just taboo.

  “There she is, a female.” The shapeshifter pointed in the direction of Hu Jiu.

  Cang Xiu also looked over. Hu Jiu was no stranger to Cang Xiu since he once followed her for a long time. Even though he didn’t see her face, Cang Xiu recognized her.

  “Although she’s a female, we don’t know her identity or origin, so we’d better……”


  Cang Xiu tugged at the female leader beside him. “Females are rare. What about we keep her to breed for the tribe. As long as we watch her, nothing will happen.”


  “Cang Xiu!” Hu Jiu heard the hatred in Cang Xiu’s words and couldn’t help but shout aloud, “You can’t do this to me!”


  The female leader looked at Cang Xiu and asked him silently with her eyes,

  Cang Xiu didn’t intend to hide anything. “Thanks to her, I became this way.”


  Then he turned to look at Hu Jiu. “Why can’t I do this to you? You never thought this day would come when you did it to me, did you?”


  He thought his life was over when he was sent here as an abandoned son of his tribe, but he didn’t expect that his present companion would treat him so kindly.

  Hu Jiu’s eyes were filled with hatred. She should have killed him in the first place!

  “Hu Jiu…… She’s Hu Jiu!”


  “Hu Jiu……”


  “Witcher spirit……”


  The female shapeshifter sized up Hu Jiu for a while. Hu Jiu killed so many shapeshifters, so even though she was possessed by the witcher spirit at that time, she was a sinner among the shapeshifters, and no one would forgive her.

  So the female shapeshifter’s face darkened and she gave the order. “Do what A-Xiu told you.”


  Hu Jiu’s eyes widened. “Cang Xiu!”


  Hu Jiu was then imprisoned in the tribe. Sometimes Cang Xiu would come to visit, but besides mocking her, he had nothing to do with her. Hu Jiu cursed him and begged him, hoping that he could let her go for their former close relationship’s sake.

  But how was it possible that Cang Xiu would just let her go.

  Back then, she watched Nie Fan tear off one of his legs and did nothing.

  How he liked her before, and how he hated her now.

  Soon Hu Jiu got pregnant, but the baby she gave birth to was deformed. Not just one, all of them were deformed.

  The result was the same several times in a row, and finally Hu Jiu lost the last bit of value she had.

  The female shapeshifter leader sent Hu Jiu to other tribes later. Hu Jiu then was traded between different tribes like a real commodity.

  Hu Jiu didn’t expect her reborn life to be like this again.

  It was all because of Yao Luo.

  It all started from the moment she became different.

  Then everything just went out of control.
