Chapter 1056: The Superior Leader (5)

The peacocks couldn’t compete with foxes in that aspect, naturally. After all, the peacocks were almost the most reserved among all shapeshifters when it came to heat.

In the dark, Hu Jiu’s voice sounded intermittently.

But it was some distance away and Er You couldn’t see the situation over there.

Hu Jiu would be in heat at this time because she had mixed something that could put shapeshifters in heat into the beast spirit herb’s juice, which she intended to use on Ming Shu.

She had brought this on herself.

But now Hu Jiu was tied up and could do nothing but make noise.

Er Ya stayed with Er You for a while and then left.

As she passed by Hu Jiu, Hu Jiu suddenly stopped her.

Er Ya frowned.

She didn’t like Yao Luo, but she also didn’t like this fox who had made her brother fall head over heels.

“What?”

Hu Jiu was still in beast form and looked very uncomfortable.

She gasped and said, “Yao Luo… Yao Luo has been controlled by a witcher spirit. She has a strange weapon. If you want to save your brother, go and steal it.”

“Witcher spirit?”

Er Ya’s eyes widened.

“Are you sure?”

Hu Jiu gritted her teeth. “Of course I’m sure, otherwise why do you think she’s become so powerful? Just think about it. Besides a witcher spirit, what else could be so powerful to change her that much? Even her personality has been changed.”

Er Ya bit her lip. Witcher spirits… That was something all shapeshifters hated.

Hu Jiu continued with her persuasion. “Er Ya, I know you don’t like me, but don’t you want to save your brother? Now most of the shapeshifters are just scared by her weapon, so as long as you steal her weapon away…”

Er Ya was absolutely no match for Hu Jiu in “negotiation.”

…

Ming Shu lay on the rattan chair, looking at the bright stars overhead. Her body was completely enveloped in moonlight, as if she had been clothed with a hazy layer of gauze.

In the shapeshifter world, the stars were so bright that the Milky Way was clearly visible.

But the night life was so boring.

Pfft pfft pfft…

This thing was far too sour.

Ming Shu had to exchange for snacks from the Harmony System.

Snacks were human food.

But…

It was not enough.

Ming Shu was a little worried.

This couldn’t work.

I have to find the female cook.

I’ll need the protagonist to help gain Aura Points, besides, the female protagonist in this world is a human! She can cook delicious food!

Kacha…

A slight noise sounded in the silent night.

Ming Shu followed the sound and looked over.

A shapeshifter came out of the dark. “Lea… Leader.”

He approached Ming Shu timidly. In the moonlight, Ming Shu could only see that the shapeshifter in front of her was very thin.

“What’s up?”

The shapeshifter seemed to pluck up his courage. “Leader, let me serve you.”

What this “serve” meant was revealed clearly when the shapeshifter reached out his hand.

Ming Shu: “…”

“Stop!”

The shapeshifter suddenly froze and looked at Ming Shu nervously. “Leader, I’ll serve you well.”

The shapeshifter felt the person in front of him was measuring him with her eyes.

He clenched his fists. Yao Luo was good-looking, and actually it seemed okay to be her partner.

The shapeshifter thought like this and relaxed.

After a long while, Ming Shu said, “Go get me some food.”

The shapeshifter: ???

“It’s late…”

“If you can’t, just leave.” You want to serve me without even looking for snacks for me! Who trained you! I’ll deduct his drumsticks!

“Okay, I’ll go right now.”

The shapeshifter left in a hurry.

Ming Shu chutted. She poked Little Beastie, who was lying in her arms. “Hey, I say, why don’t they release Er You?”

Little Beastie patted her with its paws. Don’t poke around.

You’re the leader now. How dare they let anyone go? But why do you want them to release him?

It took you effort to catch him!

Poop-picker, is there anything wrong with your brain?!

“If he doesn’t escape, how can I gain Hatred Points?” Ming Shu was sad. “It won’t produce Hatred Points to keep him, so I have to make him run away.”

Little Beastie: “…”

Sorry, I don’t understand the two-legged beast’s thinking.

Let me have another bite.

Little Beastie tried to grab the snacks in Ming Shu’s hand.

Ming Shu raised her hand high. “It’s very expensive, and it’s not even enough for me.”

Little Beastie jumped up. I want to have a bite!

As Ming Shu was teasing and playing with Little Beastie, that shapeshifter came back with several commonly seen foods.

“Leader… Here you are.”

The shapeshifter was quite honest. The food was clean and there were no other strange things added in.

But Ming Shu took the food and let the shapeshifter go.

Then some other shapeshifters also came one after another, all kinds of them.

Some of the shapeshifters added the beast spirit herb to the food. But the beast spirit herb had its flavor and even a little could be smelled.

Ming Shu watched the shapeshifter finish his food and then let him go with a smile.

The shapeshifter hadn’t managed to walk two more steps when he turned into his beast form and couldn’t move.

“What the hell are you doing at this late hour?”

They kept bothering her in the middle of the night and Ming Shu was a little impatient.

The shapeshifter in front of her fell on his knees immediately. “Leader… Leader… It’s… It’s Er Ya forced me here, I wasn’t willing to do this… Please let me go.”

Ming Shu: “…”

Did I look ferocious just now?

“What did she force you to do?”

The shapeshifter may have been really forced here. Ming Shu’s tone was not harsh, but she was a little impatient now, and the shapeshifter was very frightened. “She… She told me to take you to rest, and the rest I don’t know.”

Take me to rest?

Ming Shu glanced at the machete next to her.

They don’t want to steal this broken knife, do they?

Ming Shu stood up with the snacks in her hands. “Come with me.”

The shapeshifter stood up, trembling, and followed Ming Shu into the humble shed behind them made of vines and wood.

It could only be counted as a shed.

Not even close to a room.

The straw curtain was lowered, and the place fell into in darkness.

The shapeshifter stood silent in the corner, not daring to move a muscle.

Ming Shu looked out through the crack. After a while, a figure surely appeared and approached the machete carefully.

It picked up the weapon tentatively, making sure that nothing strange happened, then the figure immediately drew the machete out and left.

Ming Shu opened the curtain and went out, a smile pulling at her mouth.

The shapeshifter stood behind her, not even daring to breathe.

This new leader…

She was so scary.

…

Ming Shu thought they would immediately come to challenge her after they got the “sacred weapon.”

But she didn’t expect that they still didn’t show up after she had finished several bags of snacks.

Why didn’t they follow the routine?

What are they doing!

Are they holding the broken knife… no, the sacred weapon and trying to produce more?!

She wondered if she had been too serious toward them and given them little chance to rebel.

Ming Shu asked the shapeshifter beside her boredly, “What’s your name?”

“Ming… Ming Zhe.”

“Ming Zhe?” What a weird name.

“Yes…” the shapeshifter answered lowly. “Leader… Will you kill me?”

He heard that when there was a new leader in a tribe, there would always be bleeding into rivers…

He was sent here by Er Ya. The leader would definitely kill him.

“Why would I kill you? To eat your meat?”

The shapeshifter was frightened.

“I… I don’t taste good.”

“Did you try it before?”

“…No.”

“How do you know you don’t taste good then? Perhaps you taste pretty good. You should be confident in yourself.” Ming Shu was very serious.

“…” I don’t want to be confident in that at all.

Ming Zhe didn’t notice Ming Shu’s disappointed eyes, otherwise he would probably run straight away.
