163: Chapter 163 Warning

After the leaves rustled, a small animal passed by.

Shi Hua was just startled, and she finally relaxed.

Mu Feng immediately comforted her, 'Hua Hua, don't be afraid. We'll protect you.'

Shi Hua quickly nodded, and Bai Wanwan also patted the back of her hand.

'No need to worry. With the four of them here, no beast in the forest can harm us.'

If it were just one or two Males escorting them and the Cubs on the journey, Bai Wanwan would also be a little worried.

But now, there were four High-Ranked Males with Innate Abilities traveling with them.

Bai Wanwan felt much more relaxed than Shi Hua. Her only concern was finding a good place to rest at night.

Shi Hua was carrying Cubs. After traveling during the day, she needed to find a place to rest and recover properly at night.

Along the way, Shi Hua was very resilient. She walked for another two hours without complaining of tiredness.

Throughout the journey, Bai Wanwan kept an eye on her complexion. Noticing the rosy color gradually fading from her face, she immediately reached out to steady her.

'Stop for a moment.'

After halting the Males, she turned to look at Shi Hua. 'Are you tired?'

Shi Hua did feel a bit unwell, but she could endure it and didn't want to slow everyone down.

She immediately shook her head. 'Sister, I'm not tired.'

'You're lying. Your face has gone pale.'

Holding her hand, Bai Wanwan continued, 'It's already hard enough traveling while pregnant. If you feel unwell on the road, you must tell me. There's still some time before you give birth. We can take our time getting there, no rush.'

Shi Hua was touched. She was used to sacrificing her own comfort to accommodate other beast people.

But Sister Wanwan always considered her.

Bai Wanwan turned to Mu Feng and said, 'We'll rest here. You come and talk with Shi Hua for a while.'

On the road, the Males were all alert to their surroundings and hadn't spent much time accompanying Shi Hua.

Mu Feng immediately put down the prey and sat down with Shi Hua.

'Why didn't you say anything if you were uncomfortable?'

Shi Hua smiled and shook her head. 'It's just a little discomfort. Sister is just too worried about me.'

Zhu Xiu, carrying a Basket, walked over to Bai Wanwan and wiped the thin sweat from her forehead. 'Not tired?'

'I'm alright.' The most tired ones should be Yan Lie and Mu Feng.

But the two Males had carried the prey for hours without getting red-faced or out of breath.

She genuinely admired the strong physiques of the Males in the Beast World.

Taking out several strips of cured and roasted meat from the system, Bai Wanwan walked over to Shi Hua and handed them to her.

Just as she heard Shi Hua say she was a bit thirsty, Mu Feng was about to go find water for her.

'Wait, don't go. I have some here.'

As she spoke, a stone bowl appeared out of thin air in Bai Wanwan's hand, filled with water.

Mu Feng stared in a daze, took the water Bai Wanwan offered him, said not a single extra word, and turned to feed Shi Hua.

His reaction was noted by Zhu Xiu.

After Mu Feng finished helping Shi Hua drink water and eat the meat, only at Shi Hua's urging did he plan to eat some meat himself to replenish energy.

'Mu Feng...'

Mu Feng had just walked over to the prey when he heard Zhu Xiu's cold, deep voice.

'From now on, no matter what you see, act as if you saw nothing. I don't want other beast people to know about Wan Wan.'

Mu Feng understood the feelings of the several Males. If Hua Hua had secrets different from other Females, he would also try his best to conceal them.

Bai Wanwan deliberately revealed it in front of him, clearly because Shi Hua trusted him.

'Don't worry. This matter will absolutely not leave my lips.'

His answer was firm and sincere, but Zhu Xiu wasn't a Male who easily trusted others.

And since it concerned Wan Wan, he would only be more cautious.

'As long as you and your Female do nothing to harm Wan Wan, we will always protect you. But... if one day you betray Wan Wan, I will spare neither you nor your Female!'

Mu Feng's heart tightened, and he nodded solemnly.

He knew the Male before him would definitely keep his word.

'I won't tell. You've been kind to us. My Female likes Bai Wanwan, and I will also do my best to protect Bai Wanwan according to her wishes.'

Even without that scene just now, in his heart, Bai Wanwan was not an ordinary Female.

He had seen Females with strong fertility, but none who had given birth to so many.

But he had never seen the legendary Sacred Female and couldn't make that connection.

Bai Wanwan, meanwhile, chatted with Shi Hua while holding the meat strips.

'Sister, it's getting dark. Shouldn't we find a place to spend the night?'

'Yes, there's still some time. We'll find a place along the way.'

Roar...

Suddenly, a roar echoed, and birds in the jungle fluttered away in panic...

Shi Hua had never seen such a commotion. She trembled all over in fright, and the meat strip in her hand fell to the ground.

The sudden sound made Bai Wanwan pause for a moment, but she didn't even glance towards the tiger's direction. Calmly, she picked up the meat strip, patted it clean, and handed it back to Shi Hua.

'Don't be afraid. With so many Males here, it's just an ordinary tiger.'

If she had just time-traveled here, Bai Wanwan couldn't have said something like 'just an ordinary tiger.'

But after witnessing the Innate Ability of the Males in this era, she clearly understood the power gap between ordinary beasts and beast people.

Here, there were four High-Ranked Males.

'I'll go...'

After saying that, Mu Feng directly transformed into a Black Dog and charged towards the tiger's direction.

Shi Hua had always lived within the Tribe and had never seen such a scene.

She watched wide-eyed as her Beast Husband, now a Black Dog, charged at the tiger.

Although the Black Dog's body wasn't as scrawny as an ordinary dog, it was still a size smaller compared to the tiger.

'Mu Feng, be careful!'

After shouting, she saw the Black Dog dodge swiftly, leaped onto the tiger's back, and bit down on its nape.

The tiger immediately tried to shake the Black Dog off, but the Black Dog had already jumped away, swiftly closed in again, and bit the tiger's neck.

After a few rounds, the tiger was always a step too slow. Its body was already covered in bloodstains, but the Black Dog remained unharmed.

Quick battle, quick resolution.

Before Bai Wanwan could finish chewing one meat strip, Mu Feng had already defeated the tiger. Clenching the tiger's fur in his teeth, he dragged it before the group.

'Perfect, we consumed two prey earlier. No need to hunt now,' Yan Lie said happily.

Usually, if Males ate to their fill, they could consume a whole prey. Like Zhu Xiu's original form was very large; he could swallow a prey weighing several hundred pounds alone. Without strenuous activity, he could go days without eating again.

'On the way forward, we'll pass by a Market. It's very lively with lots of goods. Do you want to go?' Mu Feng asked everyone.

'A Market? There's such a place?' Bai Wanwan immediately became interested.

Seeing her curiosity, Yan Lie promptly explained, 'These Markets are usually established in locations central to several nearby Tribes. Some beast people exchange things they have in surplus.'

After listening, Bai Wanwan quickly asked Mu Feng, 'Do we need to detour?'

She needed to confirm the route. If it was too far out of the way, she wouldn't go join the excitement, afraid of delaying too long and inconveniencing Shi Hua.

'No detour. It's right on the way to the Golden Lion Tribe.'

'Alright then. Shi Hua, let's go check out the Market.'
