Chapter 231 Reason
Bai Susu also patted Cang Xiao's butt, then gently rubbed his head, and said in a gentle tone: "Okay, I like it all. You are dirty, so clean it up first."
After saying that, Bai Susu took off her clothes and entered the medicine pool. Mei Wuzhi and Cang Xiao stood by the pool, stuck their buttocks out, and jumped into the water with their four claws.
……
Bai Susu washed herself clean and changed into a heart-shaped green floral dress. She wiped her wet hair with a towel and then let it fall casually behind her.
She wrapped Mei Wuzhi and Cang Xiao in a bath towel and wiped the water stains off their fur. They were now only the size of a cat.
The two beast husbands sat there obediently, cooperating with Nai Bai Susu. After cleaning, Mei Wuzhi's fox fur was particularly bright red and much smoother.
While wiping Mei Wuzhi, Cang Xiao also rolled over on the bath towel to wipe off the water stains on his body.
Half an hour later——
Bai Susu: "Okay, let's go out."
Bai Susu stood up and walked towards the door, with the two beastly husbands following her on her left and right. She pushed the door open and saw Jin Cais leaning against the door waiting for her.
Bai Susu: "Why have you been here all the time?"
As the young lord of Beast City, he must have a lot of things to do. She thought he had left, but she didn't expect that he was still here.
Jin Caisi: "Don't you want to know what happened to that cub named Xiaoyou?"
"Yeah." She nodded and couldn't help but look at Jin Caisi's expression.
"Come with me."
Jin Kaisi turned slightly to the side, signaling Bai Susu to follow him. The two beastly husbands stopped at her feet and used their bodies to block her. Mei Wuzhi said, "Susu, don't go."
Fearing that something might happen to Bai Susu, the two beastly husbands were always on guard against Jin Cais. Whenever Jin Cais approached, they would pay special attention and reveal their hostility without any concealment.
Bai Susu picked up the two beastly men and said, "It's okay. You won't and dare not hurt me."
"It wouldn't hurt to go and take a look."
She wanted to find out why they were so persistent in bringing her back to Beast City.
……
Bai Susu followed Jin Kaisi to the concentration camp behind the Beast City. There were more than 20 male guards of different races outside the camp, four of whom were three-striped beasts, and the rest were two-striped beasts.
"Open the door."
A male opened the gate of the concentration camp, and Bai Susu followed behind him. As soon as they entered, they were hit by the stench of decay, blood, and a mixture of various sour and herbal smells.
They opened the surrounding windows, letting in direct sunlight, and she could then see clearly what was going on inside. This place was more like a cage than a concentration camp.
Hundreds of young beasts of different races, young males and old beasts were imprisoned in one place. Their bodies were covered with red pustules. A closer look revealed that the pustules were crawling with white worms, their necks were covered with fine white lines, and their eyes were white as if they were unconscious.
After being exposed to direct sunlight, their white pupils gradually turned back, and their black pupils suddenly appeared. They turned their heads back blankly, as if they had no souls.
"Young City Lord brother, Goddess sister."
Xiaoyou was in the concentration camp. Seeing them coming, he quickly ran over to them. His eyes were slightly red, and a few tears flashed in the corners of his eyes. He pointed at the strange orcs and said, "Young City Lord, why are you here just now?"
"Everyone started getting sick again. They tried to break out of the concentration camp and get to the center of Beast City, but the guards drove them back. Then, they suddenly became motionless."
Xiaoyou grabbed Jin Kaisi's hand and pointed at a pair of tied-up Leopard Orcs in a corner. "Young City Lord, my parents just had a seizure and are banging their heads against the wall. The guards have tied them up. Please, Young City Lord and Goddess, save them."
Jin Caisi wiped Xiaoyou's tears and comforted her, "Okay."
He turned around and saw Bai Susu's cold attitude: "Jin Kesi, why did you bring me here?"
He thought for a moment and said hesitantly, "You asked me what my purpose was in bringing you back to Beast City."
Jin Caisi said meaningfully, "First, it's the city lord's order to bring you back and lead Beast City back to the civilized era of the Beast God era. Second, it's to save them."
"What's wrong with them?" Bai Susu was puzzled.
A trace of sadness flashed in Jin Caisi's eyes as he explained to Bai Susu, "Ever since the Beast God left hundreds of years ago, every once in a while, an orc in Beast City becomes infected with a curse and succumbs to a disease. This curse spreads extremely quickly, and each time, hundreds of orcs die."
"How did this curse come about? It's contagious?" She had only heard of diseases being contagious, but she didn't expect that a curse could spread from one to ten, or from ten to a hundred?
Jin Cais shook his head. "No one knows how this curse came about. Every once in a while, an orc in Beast City will be cursed and quickly fall ill. Anyone who comes into contact with a cursed orc will be cursed and die."
Jin Cais looked at the orcs covered in pustules in the concentration camp, feeling a little sad. "These orcs are cursed and riddled with disease. If there's no cure, they'll be driven out of the city by the lord, and only death awaits them."
Bai Susu recalled the conversation between Jin Caisi and the leopard guards. She asked again, "What about the deadline you mentioned earlier?"
Jincaisi's smile faded. "These orcs are cursed. The city lord is worried they might harm other orcs, so he wants to drive them out of the city and leave them to fend for themselves."
Once driven out of the city, these orcs would either die from illness or be eaten as food by the mutated beasts. As the young lord of the city, Jin Cais could not bear to see the orcs in the city being tortured like this.
So they tried their best to keep them.
"I argued with the city lord and got a deadline for these orcs. After three months, if I can't save them, I will follow the city lord's orders and drive them out of the city."
He looked at her: "So, I need your help as a goddess."
When Jin Caisi thought of the fate of these orcs, his expression grew even colder. He glanced at them, a cold glint flashing across his eyes. "Bai Susu, please lend a hand and save these orcs."
Bai Susu looked back at Jin Cais, and she saw a look of sincerity and pleading on his face.
Bai Susu: "I didn't expect that the cold and violent Young City Lord actually has such a gentle side. He is completely different from what I heard."
"But it's not that easy for me to help you." Bai Susu paused deliberately, glanced at him, and a cold look flashed in her eyes: "I remember everything you did before, and I still hate you in my heart. I don't want to help you."
Jin Cais frowned and replied solemnly, "What do you want me to do in exchange for helping me save these innocent orcs?"
Bai Susu's mind sank. She looked at Jin Caisi seriously and said, "It depends on my mood."
"I'm in a better mood now. Maybe I can help you."
