Epilogue 6: Wu Shu’s Story (Part 3)

In the sixth year of raising a little panther, Bai Zhiwan took her to live in the main residence.

The woman still looked as soft and easy to bully as before, but no one dared to offend or disobey her again.

During the council meetings, the panther would lie on the intricately patterned carpet and look up at the woman sitting in the main seat.

She had watched as Bai Zhiwan had been elegant and composed, and had planned and schemed. She had stepped on the people who had come to bully her one by one, and had wantonly bent their backs.

She had also seen Bai Zhiwan restless at night, frequently falling into nightmares, and helplessly curling up and trembling, like a little beast.

Wu Shu had long known that Bai Zhiwan, like herself, had been abandoned and bullied since she was little.

But also unlike herself—Bai Zhiwan had not been lucky enough to meet the gentleness of being fed four times a day.

A lone beast who had struggled to grow up, she was exceptionally familiar with the law of the jungle. To survive in a place where the strong preyed on the weak, she could only grit her teeth and fight to the top of the food chain.

But—at what position is it considered the top?

At night, Bai Zhiwan was startled from a nightmare.

Her eyes suddenly flew open, and her heart was beating extremely fast.

The moonlight was flowing quietly, and she felt that she was surrounded by a warm and fluffy fur, and a soft, large paw pad was lightly pressed against her face.

In this sinister and treacherous jungle, even though she was already in power in the Bai family, Bai Zhiwan could not feel at ease.

The only thing that made her feel absolutely safe was this little panther.

Every time she turned her head, the panther was behind her.

But at this moment, her heart was pounding almost out of control, and an ominous premonition of an impending loss burst forth.

“Panther… lick Jiejie.”

Bai Zhiwan’s voice was a little hoarse when she spoke, and her fair arm hooked around the beast’s dark and beautiful neck.

The beast lowered its head and gently licked her cheeks and neck.

The barbed surface of its tongue stirred up a wetness that was both painful and numb, and the texture was so real that it made one tremble.

The woman’s red lips were parted from being licked, and her orchid-like breath was slightly rapid, and her attraction was fatal.

Wu Shu’s jade-green eyes gradually grew dark, and her tongue licked the woman’s cheek more and more urgently, like a feint before a hunt.

The next second, as if she had accidentally licked the wrong place in the dark, she forcefully licked the woman’s half-parted, soft red lips, and a thick possessiveness was ground out.

The thin and fragile lips were instantly pierced and bled.

“Hiss—”

Bai Zhiwan’s eyes were half-closed, and she felt a sudden sharp pain in her lips, and her body unconsciously trembled.

An unspeakable numbness shot up her spine and coursed through her limbs.

Her gaze was scattered, and she did not discipline the transgressing little panther.

She just raised her hand and held the restless panther’s head in front of her, her fingertips caressing the leather collar.

“Stay by my side, Little Shu.”

The real pain made her feel at ease, and the overflowing dampness also did.

Bai Zhiwan gradually steadied her breathing and, with an unconscious dependence, she nuzzled the panther’s head and fell asleep again.

The panther did not sleep and guarded the woman’s even breathing all night.

The past six years had been too stable.

She had never thought that this would be the eve of a separation.

…

The first day Wu Shu was stolen.

Bai Zhiwan sat in the main seat, looking as composed as before, as if she did not care at all about the pet she had raised for six years.

She calmly browsed through the “Green Bird” documents.

In the pictures, all sorts of animal skins and paws were neatly stacked, cruel and bloody.

Her assistant introduced, “‘Green Bird’ originally made its fortune in the west of China through poaching and earned a lot of money. Later, with the change in relevant laws in China, ‘Green Bird’ was severely cracked down on, and the remaining forces fled to A-Country.”

“Now, ‘Green Bird’ has latched onto the Meyer family and has begun to develop its activities again, and is doing very well.”

After speaking, she guessed, “‘Green Bird’ should be asking you for a high ransom later. They won’t directly kill her.”

Bai Zhiwan said indifferently, “It’s not that simple.”

The Bai family was a Chinese family that had moved to A-Country, and they were now in their third generation, and each generation was worse than the last.

But ever since Bai Zhiwan had taken over, the Bai family had been revived and had been soaring, and because of this, they had inevitably touched upon the cake of the local families.

The Meyer family was the most difficult one.

Bai Zhiwan had long anticipated this and, after coming to power, she had planned and laid out her plans, and had been cautious with every step.

In less than three years, she was confident that she could completely swallow the other party.

But she had not expected that Meyer would use the most despicable means—while the little panther was at the hospital for a regular check-up, he had had “Green Bird” steal her, and had even sent a photo of her being injected with a drug as a threat.

If Bai Zhiwan did not care about the life or death of this panther, this would just be a warning that was not to be feared. She could have just slowly and with ease devoured the Meyer family according to her original plan.

At this moment, in the main seat, Bai Zhiwan seemed to be thinking just that.

Her features were gentle. “It doesn’t matter if they do. It’s just a useless pet.”

As she spoke, her gaze swept over every face in the room. It was light and airy, and with a certain faint, and deep and dark, and probing meaning.

The meeting was over, and Bai Zhiwan unhurriedly returned to her own bedroom.

Click.

The moment the door was closed, she looked up at the empty room, and all her elegant and composed expression was instantly gone, and her gloom was deep and thick.

Her breathing was heavy and rapid, and it scraped her lungs until they ached.

Bai Zhiwan rushed into the bathroom and stood in front of the mirror, looking at the wound on her lips, which had been pierced by a beast’s tongue.

It had already formed a scab.

Her expression was blank. She raised her hand and fiercely tore off the scab, and in the intense pain, her eyes were half-closed, and she watched as it once again overflowed with fresh and full drops of blood.

Bai Zhiwan extended the tip of her tongue and unhurriedly tasted that fishy and sweet taste of blood.

Another law of the jungle—survive, no matter what you have to bite.

She took out her phone and called the youngest daughter of the Meyer family, Wan He.

…

A month later.

Wu Shu’s consciousness returned, and she was in a daze.

It was clearly just a simple waking up from a night, but it felt as if a long century had passed.

She was lying on a familiar large bed and, craving it, she sniffed the lingering subtle fragrance of Bai Zhiwan.

The next second, she felt a strange hand hold the tip of her tail.

“Your little panther is very beautiful,” that person said with a sigh in the A-Country language.

Bai Zhiwan had always only spoken Chinese with Wu Shu, so the panther should not have understood at all.

But as a smart panther who was naturally in tune with humans, she had just been casually watching TV while she was bitterly waiting for the woman to come home, and she had, without realizing it, come to understand the A-Country language.

A little beast has no concept of language itself, but just naturally understands the meaning.

At this moment, her tail was being touched by a stranger, and Wu Shu was very displeased.

She wanted to let out a low roar to warn her, but her throat could not make any sound. She wanted to lift her tail and fiercely shake off that hand, but she could not control her body.

Bai Zhiwan’s gentle voice sounded, and she spoke the A-Country language with an elegant and beautiful sound. “She doesn’t like to be touched.”

The moment she finished, the hand that was holding the black panther’s tail was released.

That person chuckled lowly. “Is that so? Just like you.”

The end of her words was a light hook, and it was as ambiguous as if she were flirting.

Wu Shu heard Bai Zhiwan also begin to chuckle lightly, and it was particularly pleasant. A certain sourness suddenly rippled in her heart.

After a moment, that person said again, “After we get engaged, you’ll let me hold your hand, right?”

Wu Shu’s heart skipped a beat.

What engagement? Holding hands?

She was for a moment furious and was about to burst up and tear that person to shreds, but she could not move at all.

And Bai Zhiwan did not answer, but just let out a light and pleased laugh. The sound of footsteps sounded, and the two of them gradually moved away.

…

Wu Shu’s consciousness was chaotic and hazy, and she was sometimes in a daze and sometimes awake.

But every day, she could hear the voice of a strange female human and smell the scent that was disgusting to a panther.

She heard Bai Zhiwan smile gently at that person, and she was never impatient.

She heard them discussing their marriage, and they said they were going to find a beautiful house on the east coast to live together.

She heard the rustling of fabric, as if there were an ambiguous and intimate contact.

Wu Shu’s whole being grew more and more anxious, but she was just full of emotions and could not even roar.

She gradually came to her senses. She was poisoned.

The panther had been deliberately poisoned once when she was little.

At that time, Bai Zhiwan had immediately made the person who had poisoned her suffer a miserable fate.

Now, Bai Zhiwan actually did not care at all.

Every day, she would talk and laugh with a strange woman, and she had not even touched her for a moment.

Wu Shu could not understand—

Why was it that the night before last, Bai Zhiwan, in her nightmare, had taken the initiative to hook her arm around her neck and had weakly let her lick her?

And a day later, everything had suddenly changed, and Bai Zhiwan had brazenly brought her fiancée, whom she had gotten engaged to at some point, home, and had ignored her.

…Is it because she, a panther, cannot transform into a human?

…

At night.

Bai Zhiwan and Wan He separated at the bedroom door.

Wan He stared at the woman’s beautiful, immortal-like Eastern face without a moment’s pause.

“You’re really not coming to my room? A-Wan, we’re getting engaged in just ten days.”

Bai Zhiwan lowered her eyes demurely. “You know, I’m a little traditional.”

She did look gentle and demure, and pure and conservative.

Wan He was greedy and stared at her, and only after a moment did she come back to her senses and smile considerately. “Of course I know.”

Bai Zhiwan looked at the woman’s departing figure, her gaze deep and meaningful.

It’s not that they’re getting engaged in just ten days.

It’s that she only has ten days to live.

She turned and went into her bedroom, and washed herself clean, and brushed away the scent of Wan He that had inadvertently clung to her.

She also used a towel to wipe the body of the still-sleeping black panther, and the dark, black, and smooth fur was wiped until it was glossy.

After she was done, she curled up in the black panther’s arms and, tired, she fell asleep.

…

Her sleep was a daze.

Bai Zhiwan felt her earlobe being licked and bitten, not too lightly and not too heavily.

Whether she was in heat or not, the panther was very eager for her, so Bai Zhiwan had often been woken up by being licked.

In her hazy consciousness, she was for a moment under the illusion that it was the past. She was too lazy to open her eyes and just pursed her lips slightly, and her breathing was rapid from being licked.

She let out a low “Mmm,” and in her trembling, she was a little unable to bear it.

Her consciousness gradually returned.

Bai Zhiwan found that the touch of being licked at this moment was soft, and the surface of the tongue actually had no barbs.

At this thought, her mind was suddenly clear.

She suddenly opened her eyes and met a pair of familiar jade-green eyes.

Although the color of the eyes had not changed, the shape was that of a human’s, beautiful and sharp.

Bai Zhiwan’s breath trembled, and she raised a hand to push away the person who was pressing on her.

By the moonlight, she saw that the young woman’s features were cool and deep, with a beast-like sharpness.

Looking up, a pair of familiar, fluffy panther ears were perked up in the young woman’s black hair.

The “Panther, if you have the guts, then become a person” that she had said with such confidence seemed to have absurdly come true at this moment.

The usually composed and at ease Bai Zhiwan was rarely stunned.

In her shock, her slightly parted lips were soft and delectable, and her breath was like an orchid.

Just in time for Wu Shu to kiss her with a long and direct kiss.

The natural aggression and possessiveness of a beast of prey erupted at this moment, and Wu Shu, unable to hold back any longer, held Bai Zhiwan’s chin and began to kiss her deeply.

There was no technique, only the instinct of a beast.

Sucking, churning, eagerly plundering the clear sweetness between her lips.

The kiss grew deeper and deeper, swallowing all the unbearable, fine whimpers in the woman’s throat.

She couldn’t help but think, had that female human possessed Bai Zhiwan like this, and had tasted this soft, fragile, and heart-tremblingly sweet and delectable taste?

The more she thought, the more intense the kiss became, and it was almost as if she were going to completely devour Bai Zhiwan, so that no one else could touch her.

Bai Zhiwan was pressed onto the bed and was kissed, and the intimacy was intense and painful, and she was almost suffocating.

But she liked this feeling.

This allowed her to confirm one thing—the panther who had been gone for a month had returned, real and alive.

And she still belonged to her, and only to her.

After a long while, their lips parted.

She opened her misty eyes and saw that her little panther had become such a healthy and wild, delectable and dangerous appearance.

Her pair of jade-green eyes were full of a strong craving and possession, as if she would tear everything apart at any moment.

Bai Zhiwan saw that a certain part of her body was overflowing with a moist sheen.

As she panted lightly, she raised her leg and lightly nuzzled Wu Shu’s waist.

The young woman had an excellent figure.

Her skin was firm, her waist was slender, and her muscle lines were bold and vigorous, with a beast-like vitality.

Bai Zhiwan’s gaze traced over her, inch by inch, and her throat moved slightly. She curled her lips into a low laugh, and her voice was hoarse and ambiguous.

“Little panther, now that you’ve become a person, do you still only know how to bite me haphazardly?”

As she spoke, her soft fingers reached out and, with a deep meaning, she caressed the young woman’s long and powerful two fingers.

“You can use other ways to hurt Jiejie.”

“Roar…”

The young woman, who had transformed from a beast, stared at her without a moment’s pause, as if she wanted to eat her prey in one bite.

Her eyes were red with eagerness, but she could not find a way for a long time, and only a restless low roar escaped her throat.

“I won’t teach you.”

Bai Zhiwan bit the panther ear on top of her head. “Use your instincts to eat me.”

Later.

The woman, in the beast’s hand, let out a low cry of pain, and she trembled with a certain charm.

…
