Chapter 308 Human Females Fleeing in the Beast World 36
"You still know how to reply to messages? Shen Chumo, do you know how worried I was?"
Shen Chumo touched her nose guiltily. Well, she did see the message He Lun sent her halfway through, but she subconsciously ignored it at the time.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you, I've been in the virtual world all day. I signed up for the arena and have been playing matches all day."
Since this matter couldn't be kept secret anytime sooner or later, and Herren would find out sooner or later, Shen Chumo simply told him directly.
"The arena? Why did you suddenly think of going to the arena?"
Herren frowned. Shen Chumo had finally escaped from the fighting arena, so why did she go back to the arena?
Shen Chumo took a deep breath and looked firmly at Helen on the other end of the computer.
"As you know, ever since I left the arena, I've felt a deep sense of disillusionment with this world. We humans have always been oppressed and humiliated by the orcs, simply because humans are inherently weak."
I just wanted to see how far I could go if I were to actually fight an orc.
After Shen Chumo finished speaking, the air fell silent.
Herren stared intently at Shen Chumo's face, a slight smirk playing on his lips as he said with a hint of sarcasm, "So, you never truly believed me from the very beginning?"
Shen Chumo's eyes flickered. She still needed Helen as her refuge and absolutely could not allow him to harbor any resentment towards her.
Shen Chumo lowered her eyes, her long, curled eyelashes casting a shadow on her eyelids. She bit her lower lip slightly and said self-deprecatingly, "I know you're very good to me, but you're the only one."
Her voice was very soft, as if she were murmuring, and her face was full of bitterness.
Looking at Shen Chumo like this, Herren felt his heart tighten for a moment.
"Let's not talk about others, just take Wang Ma for example. From the moment we met, she was sarcastic and mocking towards me. And that was with you around. As soon as you left, she immediately made an excuse to take leave and leave. She just looks down on me."
Helen was speechless; he couldn't deny what Wang Ma had done.
"I know that in your eyes, we humans are a weak race that is only fit to be enslaved and bullied. Those who are good-looking are treated as playthings and we are expected to be grateful for you just because you gave us food."
"But I don't want to live like this."
Shen Chumo paused, a resolute glint in her eyes: "Moreover, I don't want to live in the shadow of the past forever."
My experience in the arena taught me that only by becoming strong enough can I protect myself and the people I care about.
The arena is where I prove myself, and it's the only path I can take to become powerful.
Looking into Shen Chumo's determined eyes, Herren felt both heartache and admiration.
He knew the pressure Shen Chumo was under, and he understood her inner persistence.
Herren sighed, "I understand. Do what you want to do. But I hope you remember that you are my person. No matter what, contact me immediately if you encounter danger. Don't be reckless."
A hint of surprise flashed in Shen Chumo's eyes; she hadn't expected Herren to agree so quickly.
“Okay, I know. And... Herren, thank you.” Shen Chumo said gently.
Helen chuckled. "You only listen to me at times like this. But, in the arena, whatever you do, don't reveal your human identity, otherwise..."
Herren's tone turned serious. "Those guys won't let you off easily."
It's obvious if you think about it: the arena is a symbol of honor for the orcs, and for humans to step into the arena is undoubtedly a disgrace to them.
"Yes, I will be careful." Shen Chumo's expression was solemn, but her eyes showed determination. "I will not put myself in unnecessary danger, and I will not cause you any trouble because of my identity."
Herren frowned slightly and said seriously, "Chu Mo, this isn't a matter of whether it's troublesome or not; what I'm worried about is your safety."
The arena is a melting pot of all sorts of people; if someone with ulterior motives discovers you're human, they might resort to any means to deal with you.
Shen Chumo thought about Lin Ting, whom she had already offended today, and some orcs in the arena. After thinking for a moment, she decided not to say anything.
"Don't worry, I understand what you mean. By the way, how are you doing in Flowing Light City?"
At this point, Herren paused, shifted his gaze, and then said, "Yes, it's fine."
Shen Chumo frowned as she looked at the background behind Helen.
"What are you doing on the spacecraft? Wait..." Shen Chumo's eyes widened. "You said you were coming back to find me, are you on your way back?"
Herren coughed lightly, feeling guilty. "No, I'm not that naive. I'm rushing to another place."
At that moment, a voice came from the background, "Young Master He, we are about to arrive in El City. Landing preparations are complete."
Herren frantically tried to turn off the sound, but it was clearly too late.
He gritted his teeth and said, "No need to land, let's go back to Flowing Light City."
The man was stunned, not understanding why Herren had suddenly changed his mind.
However, Herren held a high position in the family, so he dared not ask any further questions and could only reply, "Yes, Young Master Herren." He then went to arrange the return journey.
Shen Chumo was both annoyed and amused by this conversation.
"Helen, I've only been silent for a few hours. Did you really think I ran away?"
Helen realized he could no longer hide it and had no choice but to confess.
"It's your fault for not replying to my messages. What if something happens to you while you're alone?"
Herren gazed at Shen Chumo with his deep eyes, his lake-blue pupils appearing especially affectionate under the moonlight.
Shen Chumo looked into his eyes and her heart skipped a beat. She looked up and smiled, "Okay, I know you're worried about me, so don't be too anxious."
I'm doing really well here. You should go back to Liuguang City and take care of things. Don't let me delay your important business.
I haven't eaten yet, I'm going to eat now, bye.
Herren wanted to say a few more words, but looking at the video call that had already been disconnected, he smiled helplessly.
The aircraft took off again. Looking out the window at the bustling city of El, he said to himself with a self-deprecating smile, "Heron, you've finally met your match."
After hanging up the video call, Shen Chumo fell silent.
She never believed that Herren truly loved her; perhaps he had some affection for her, but it was all based on curiosity and novelty.
And there are secrets about her.
But Shen Chumo wanted to take advantage of that.
But the undisguised affection in Herren's eyes just now, and the worry and tension in that instant, stirred a ripple in Shen Chumo's heart.
Perhaps Herren really did develop feelings for her.
Shen Chumo chuckled softly. When a hunter falls in love with his prey, the hunting game takes on a different kind of fun and unpredictability.
In a certain room, Pei Yan leaned back on the sofa, looking extremely languid.
A servant was half-kneeling in front of him. "Master, we've found out that Herren has arranged for that human female to stay in the Star Language Building."
"Star Language Building?" Pei Yan tapped the handrail lightly. "Helen, are you really interested in that human female? Interesting."
