Chapter 294 Human Females Fleeing in the Beast World 22
Herren was slightly taken aback; he really hadn't expected Shen Chumo to suddenly bring this up.
Recalling the rumors he had heard about Shen Chumo and Anpu, a strange emotion welled up in his heart—curiosity mixed with a hint of jealousy, though he didn't want to admit it.
"Hmph, who knows what happened between you and Anpu? Maybe you had ulterior motives back then."
Herren was still sharp-tongued, but his tone wasn't as forceful as before.
Shen Chumo gently shook her head, a look of reminiscence appearing on her face. "Anpu and I were truly in love. At that time, I didn't care that he was a beastman. I only knew that he was good to me, and I was willing to be with him."
But so many things happened later, and in the end, we couldn't make it to the end.
But this also shows that I don't harbor hatred towards all orcs, Young Master He. Right now, I just want to find someone I can rely on to survive in this chaotic world and protect what I care about.
And you are the person I feel I can trust right now.
Herren fell silent. Looking at Shen Chumo's face, which was both forlorn and sincere, his doubts gradually dissipated.
He knew that Shen Chumo had gone through many hardships, and perhaps at this moment she really just wanted to find some peace and stability.
"You want me to be your boyfriend like Anpu."
Shen Chumo looked at him with brimming eyes, "Young Master He, I know my status is unworthy. I only have two requests. If you agree to them, I am willing to be your pet or something else."
"You said."
"My first request is naturally that you keep me safe. I don't want to go back and be caught in the fighting arena. I've had enough of life in the fighting arena."
Herren nodded. "Of course. And the second request?"
"I hope Hu Le can live here forever, so could Young Master He help resolve the safety concerns in this town?"
Herren chuckled lightly, "You certainly know how to do business. Do you know how much profit I could gain if I told the Li family about what happened in this town?"
Even if I don't say anything, the Li family will find this place someday. I can't possibly go against the Li family for their sake.
"No need, Young Master He. You just need to help keep this place a secret. If the Li family really finds out, then it's just bad luck for the people in this town. That's all I can do."
"Alright, I agree to both of your requests. In that case, shouldn't I start collecting some interest?"
As Helen spoke, he was about to kiss Shen Chumo's lips, but Shen Chumo turned her face away, and the kiss only landed on her cheek, soft as tofu.
Herren's eyes darkened. "You don't want to?"
Shen Chumo looked at him innocently, "Yes, I don't want to."
Herren was almost amused by this female. "You dare to play me?"
Shen Chumo sighed, "Young Master He, at least give me some time to prepare myself. Do you like playing the forced love game? Or are you not confident that you can make me fall in love with you?"
Shen Chumo looked at Helun with a defiant gaze, and her arrogant and charming demeanor calmed Helun's anger somewhat.
"Tsk, troublesome. Do you know how many females beg me for help but I wouldn't even glance at them?"
Shen Chumo shrugged indifferently, "But Young Master He doesn't even want to look at them, so they must be just ordinary-looking."
Hearing this, Herren couldn't help but laugh in anger. "Shen Chumo, you're good at belittling others to elevate yourself. Those females are all carefully cultivated by their respective families. They are outstanding in appearance and talent. It's just that I don't have the inclination for them."
Shen Chumo's lips curled up slightly, carrying a faint smile.
"why are you laughing?"
"Young Master Xiao He doesn't even look down on the young ladies of orc noble families, yet he's taken a liking to me, a human. Do you think this is my honor, or... my misfortune?"
He Lun knew that Shen Chumo was being sarcastic. Back then, Shen Chumo and An Pu were together, but it was also because of Lin Ting's scheme that she ended up in the arena.
Both Herren and Anpu are nobles, so what will become of Shen Chumo's future when a second Lin Ting appears?
Helen sighed after thinking about this. "Fine, I promise you. I won't force you, but I can't let you have your way forever. At most, three months. If you're still unwilling by then, I won't hold back."
Herren looked at Shen Chumo with a hard expression.
Shen Chumo smiled and said, "Then thank you very much, Young Master He."
"Just call me Allen, I prefer hearing you call me by that name."
“Alan”.
Shen Chumo softly uttered the name, her voice gentle and sweet, carrying a hint of intimacy that made Herren's heart flutter slightly. Looking at Shen Chumo's bright smile, he was momentarily stunned, and his previously harsh expression softened somewhat.
"Hmm, that's a good girl." Herren's lips unconsciously curled up, and he lowered his head to gently kiss Shen Chumo's hand. "When are we leaving?"
"Let's do it tomorrow. At least we need to say goodbye to Xiao Le."
Herren was a little jealous. "You're quite nice to this kid, aren't you?"
Shen Chumo crossed her arms. "Without him, I might have died in the fighting arena. Do you think I should be nicer to him?"
Herren frowned slightly. Although he was still a little jealous, he understood that what Shen Chumo said was true.
"Hmph, you should indeed be grateful to him. However, with me by your side from now on, I will naturally not let you fall into such danger again."
Shen Chumo couldn't help but find He Lun's slightly jealous yet stubborn expression amusing.
"Alan, are you jealous? Don't worry, Hu Le is like a younger brother to me. I only feel gratitude and concern for him."
Herren coughed twice, seemingly trying to hide his embarrassment.
“Who’s jealous? I was just saying it offhand. Since you want to say goodbye to him, then tomorrow it is. But you have to make sure you explain everything that needs to be explained in this one day. After that, we need to get going as soon as possible.”
Shen Chumo nodded. "I know. I will explain the situation to him and let him live a good life in the small town."
As night fell, Hu Le heard that Shen Chumo and He Lun were leaving alone, and he refused to stay in the town by himself. Later, after Shen Chumo took him into a room and talked for a while, Hu Le finally nodded.
He looked at Shen Chumo with reluctance, "Chumo, I know I'm just a burden to you, but no matter what, you must stay safe. If you encounter any danger, don't forget that I'm still here waiting for you."
Shen Chumo felt a pang of sadness. Although she had only known Hu Le for a short time, he was the first friend she made in this world.
