23: Chapter 23 When he's angry, no one else will have an easy time either.

Whether Roger lost face or not had nothing to do with him.

If someone else had asked, he might not have said anything.

But if Wan Wan wanted to know, he wouldn't cover up for Roger.

"A few years ago, I was hunting on Fan Mountain near the Canine Tribe when I discovered Roger, severely injured and unable to maintain his human form..."

At this point, Xin Feng glanced at her, the tips of his ears turning slightly red.

Bai Wanwan blinked her eyes and shook his hand, "Go on! Why did you stop?"

He was right at the critical moment of the story; he couldn't delay her gossip feast!

"At the time, a Female beast was lying beside him, about to... mate with him..."

Uh...

Bai Wanwan nearly choked on her own saliva.

Beastmen never classified themselves as beasts. In their view, beasts were lowly creatures, mere food.

She could almost imagine Roger's utter collapse at that moment.

She couldn't hold back and burst out with a "Pfft haha" laugh.

Wan Wan's laughing eyes were full of mischief, "Just tell me, did that Female beast succeed?"

"Ahem... Not yet. I appeared in time and saved him."

Bai Wanwan immediately understood the cause and effect of their grudge.

So Xin Feng was Roger's savior, but this savior also witnessed Roger's most humiliating and disgraceful moment.

That's why Roger's attitude toward Xin Feng was so awkward.

She had thought that if it were truly some major enmity, Xin Feng would have no ability to retaliate now.

Roger could take Xin Feng's life as easily as turning over his hand.

"You saved Roger, and yet he still targets you at every turn. He's really not a decent guy..."

He didn't take Xin Feng's life, but Roger kept humiliating Xin Feng; he was simply a pervert.

Bai Wanwan seized the opportunity to curse Roger out thoroughly.

That indecent Male hadn't actually gone far.

Hu Ya was blocking his path, blinking her eyes and flashing what she believed was her most beautiful smile at him.

"Captain Roger, what brings you here? Are you looking for me?"

Roger was seething with anger; it was the first time he'd encountered a Female who completely disregarded him.

Yet, perversely, he found her quite interesting.

He also felt a sense of rivalry in his heart. If Xin Feng could receive special treatment from that Little Female, why couldn't he?

His Talent was at the Yellow rank; Xin Feng was just a useless beast.

Before his injury, Xin Feng's face had been quite popular with Females, but now that it was ruined, he was clearly as ugly as a luo beast!

Xin Feng had stumbled upon the incident he least wanted anyone to know about. He should have killed Xin Feng outright long ago.

"Captain Roger, did you hear me?"

Hu Ya waved her hand in front of his face, finally snapping Roger, who was filled with rage, back to reality.

For the first time, he lost his usual facade and patience with a Female, his tone sharp, "What is it?"

Seeing him angry, Hu Ya thought of the smile he had shown Bai Wanwan earlier and started cursing inwardly.

This Traveling Merchant captain's judgment was as poor as Xin Feng's. What was so good about Bai Wanwan?

He actively approached Bai Wanwan and got driven out. Served him right!

The Chief had ordered not to reveal Bai Wanwan's identity to outsiders. Even if she weren't told, she wouldn't tell them.

The identity of a Sacred Female was already annoying enough. If those powerful Male Beastmen from other Tribes became Bai Wanwan's Beast Husbands, Bai Wanwan would step on her head for the rest of her life.

After pausing for a moment, Hu Ya reached out to touch the box in his arms, her eyes carrying an unmistakable seductive meaning.

"What's in this box? Can I see?"

Roger glanced at the box in his arms, thinking of how he had come specifically to please Bai Wanwan, yet she had completely ignored him.

A cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "Just some little trinkets you Females like."

Hu Ya had already pressed half her body against him, even rubbing against him, "Then can you give them to me?"

Roger looked at her, his eyes carrying a mocking glint.

Whether Hu Ya was thick-skinned or simply couldn't tell, she tilted her head up and pouted her lips, "If you give me these things, you can come to my place tonight."

Roger let out a derisive laugh.

He lifted the box in his hand, shaking it in front of her, "Want it?"

Hu Ya nodded repeatedly.

"If you want it, bring something to trade for it." He turned, directly avoiding the paw she stretched out.

The smile vanished from Hu Ya's lips, "You want me to trade for it? Then why didn't Bai Wanwan have to trade?"

She had clearly overheard, crouched outside Bai Wanwan's cave entrance, that Bai Wanwan didn't even want these things. Why couldn't he just give them to her?

Roger looked at her coldly, "Are you Bai Wanwan?"

"Of course I'm not!" Hu Ya gritted her teeth.

"Since you know you're not, then trade for it properly."

If he were in a better mood, Roger might have been willing to flirt with her.

But right now, he wasn't in the mood at all.

"You could give it to her, why can't you give it to me?"

These words made Roger stop in his tracks, and he really took a moment to scrutinize her carefully.

This Female named Hu Ya was rather ordinary-looking, though he'd heard her fertility was quite good.

But this appearance really couldn't compare to Bai Wanwan's.

Recalling Bai Wanwan's face in detail, it was exquisitely beautiful, with snow-white skin.

She was even more beautiful than those Females surrounded by powerful Male Beastmen he had seen in large Tribes.

"She will be my Female in the future. What are you to me?"

Hu Ya, having always been treated favorably by Males due to her excellent fertility, was now being ruthlessly rejected by Roger during her first active advance.

The fire in Hu Ya's heart instantly ignited.

A few months ago, Bai Wanwan was still an Inferior Female.

Now she wanted to snatch everything from her.

"She's just an Inferior Female. Don't be fooled. I'm the one with the highest fertility. If you have a Pairing Ceremony with me, I can give you a litter of Cubs first."

After all, the outsider Beastmen didn't know the truth. She was originally the Female with the best fertility besides Bai Wanwan.

"My Cubs can only be born by Bai Wanwan. You don't have that qualification!"

He had seen plenty of Females with excellent fertility and good looks; this Hu Ya couldn't even make the list.

He could certainly tell that this Hu Ya and Bai Wanwan were at odds.

He said this not necessarily because he was determined to have a Pairing Ceremony with Bai Wanwan, but purely because he was in a bad mood and didn't want others to be happy either.

Seeing Hu Ya looking like she was about to die of anger, Roger suddenly felt the anger in his belly dissipate quite a bit.

The smile on his face finally lost its sarcastic edge.

Ignoring Hu Ya, who was fuming beside him, he strode away.

Damn Roger! Damn Bai Wanwan! They should all die!

"Ya Ya, why are you standing here all this time?"

Xin Yu had just returned with the prey. Seeing Hu Ya standing motionless, he walked over to ask.

Hu Ya turned around, saw Xin Yu, and immediately threw herself at him, "Xin Yu, hold me."

Xin Yu obediently picked her up. Upon hearing what Hu Ya whispered in his ear, his face flushed bright red.

When Xin Shan returned carrying prey, having waited for Xin Yu in vain, he finally learned what had happened.

Hearing the commotion, Hu Ya reached out to him, "Xin Shan, come here."

Xin Shan stood still for a moment, then finally stepped forward.

This was the Female he had chosen himself. From now on, she would be everything to him and his brother.

Hu Ya fooled around with the two brothers for most of the night, while Bai Wanwan curled up, sleeping restlessly for most of the night.

Xin Feng next door heard the noise, got up, and stuffed all the gaps in the stone cave door tightly.

Bai Wanwan, unable to sleep, heard the movement and turned over to look outside.

Xin Feng's legs weren't steady; his figure moved slowly within the cave.

Soon, he stopped beside his own Stone Bed.

Bai Wanwan's heart skipped a couple of beats. What was he going to do?

Thank you everyone for the monthly and recommendation votes. Love you all (`) heart.
