Shu Jin was incredibly excited and stumbled out.
"Husha, I heard you came to see me."
When Shu Jin saw Hu Sha standing at the entrance of the cave, he immediately beamed with joy.
Hu Sha wasn't good-looking, he was big, and even looked like a male. He also had a bad temper, but he was still deeply in love with Hu Sha.
Seeing Shu Jin's ingratiating smile, Hu Sha's eyes flashed with disdain.
Only when she thought about how she still needed Shu Jin to do things for her could she force a smile.
"Shu Jin, why didn't you come to see me today?"
"I'm sorry, Hu Sha. I didn't handle things well last time and you were punished. I was afraid you would be angry, so..." Shu Jin explained with some shame.
He lowered his head, actually embarrassed to let Hu Sha know his wavering feelings these past few days.
"Hu Sha, you came to see me today because..." Shu Jin asked expectantly.
In fact, Hu Sha didn't care about the reason.
She asked casually, then continued, "There's something I'd like you to help me with."
Shu Jin hesitated for a moment, thinking about what had happened last time.
Hu Sha knew his concerns and explained, "Don't worry, this time I'm not asking you to catch the cubs and the female, I just want you to catch a snake for me."
She didn't tell Shu Jin that it was a poisonous snake.
Upon hearing this, Shu Jin's worries disappeared.
He nodded eagerly, "What kind of snake? As long as it's something you want, Hu Sha, I'll do my best to catch it for you."
Although he was a rat-orc, the rat-orcs feared snake-beasts the most.
He was willing to do it.
Hu Sha recounted the characteristics of the venomous snake.
"Hu Sha, what are you going to do with this kind of snake? This triangular-headed snake is venomous and very dangerous." As soon as Shu Jin heard Hu Sha's words, he recognized that it was a venomous snake and asked with concern.
Even if it were a venomous snake, his first thought would be that Hu Sha would get hurt.
Hu Sha was taken aback when she realized that Shu Jin knew it was a venomous snake. She paused for a moment, then explained:
"I...I was testing you."
"test?"
“That’s right, I’ve figured it out. Since Brother Hu Shen likes other females, I will also find a partner after they become partners.”
Hu Sha said seriously, "My partner can't be completely powerless."
She lied without batting an eye.
She knew this fool wasn't as easy to fool as before; if she didn't offer him some incentives, how could she get him to help her willingly?
Upon hearing this, Shu Jin's eyes lit up, and her cheeks immediately turned crimson.
"Hu Sha, are you... are you willing to consider me?" Shu Jin was so excited that he couldn't speak clearly.
He never imagined that he would actually be able to win Husha back one day.
Shu Jin was overjoyed. Let alone one poisonous snake, even a hundred or a thousand, he was willing to catch any poisonous snake as long as he could make Hu Sha like him!
Hu Sha nodded with a smile.
"If you can catch this snake, I will acknowledge your strength."
"I'll definitely catch him! Husha, just wait for my good news!"
Shu Jin was confident and prepared.
After sending Hu Sha back to the cave, he went down the mountain with high spirits to catch poisonous snakes.
When Hu Sha returned to the cave and saw Shu Jin leave, the smile on her face immediately turned into disgust.
"This useless orc doesn't deserve my affection? He's dreaming."
She vigorously washed her hands, which had just been touched by Shu Jin.
She wouldn't have approached him if he weren't the only fool willing to do something so dangerous.
The thought of the female soon disappearing cheered Hu Sha up.
Actually, she wasn't lying. Without that female, Tiger God would like her, and then she wouldn't be interested in Rat Brocade.
However, now that the snake problem is solved, she still needs to find a way to contact the griffin beastmen.
Releasing the griffin orc from Brother Hu Shen's hands will not be easy; a female like her simply cannot do it.
"Looks like I'll still have to ask him for help..."
Hu Sha muttered to herself.
On the way down the mountain.
Shu Jin seemed to remember something and turned back.
That venomous snake was too dangerous. He had forgotten to warn Hu Sha. It wouldn't be good if Hu Sha got hurt after he caught the snake.
He knew of a small red fruit that poisonous snakes loved to eat. If he could find that fruit and give it to Hu Sha, it would protect her from harm in a critical moment.
As they approached the outside of Hu Sha's cave, Shu Jin was about to call out to Hu Sha when he suddenly stopped.
He saw another male in Husha's cave!
For some inexplicable reason, he didn't make a sound.
The next second, he heard Hu Sha and the male talking inside.
"Didn't we already agree that we'd pretend that thing never happened? Why are you still looking for me?"
"There's something I need your help with, just this once, otherwise if Brother Hu Shen finds out, none of us will get away with it."
"Alright, this is the last time. Don't contact me again. What is it?"
Hu Sha lowered her voice and said something.
The male voice carried a hint of displeasure.
"You're really bold, daring to touch even the King's men. Why don't you let your little lackey do it? Isn't he the one who listens to you the most?"
Shu Jin didn't hear what Hu Sha said, but when the male mentioned him, he tensed up.
Both hands gripped tightly in tension.
He wanted to know what kind of person he was in Husha's heart.
"That idiot, if he had that ability, I wouldn't need to come to you." Hu Sha's disdainful voice reached Shu Jin's ears.
"Hahaha, if I weren't stupid, why would I consider you my savior and have kept you as my acquaintance for so many years!"
