256: Chapter 256 An Unfamiliar Face

Near the low wall at the end of his vision, a slender figure seemed to overlap with the Bai Wanwan in his memory.

His heart twitched, but his footsteps unconsciously slowed and lightened, as if he were afraid of shattering the illusion before him.

Finally, he arrived behind that back, and "she" did not disappear.

"Bai Wanwan!"

Roger's voice was somewhat hoarse, and the rims of his eyes were tinged with red.

Hearing his voice, the figure seemed to stiffen for a moment and slowly turned around.

The expression on Roger's face instantly froze.

It was a completely strange face, having nothing at all to do with the Bai Wanwan in his memory.

Zhuo Ling looked at the Male before her; his physique was tall and robust, but that dark-skinned face looked very ordinary.

But she could tell at a glance that this was no ordinary Male; there was murderous intent in his eyes, and even though he was unremarkable in appearance, he gave off a complete sense of oppression.

This was a feeling she had only experienced from those powerful Males.

Moreover, if she hadn't misheard just now, the Male had called her "Bai Wanwan."

Another Male whose heart was set on Bai Wanwan!

These thoughts flashed through her mind in an instant, and a gentle smile immediately appeared on her face.

"Were you calling me just now?"

Roger's eyes were filled with disappointment; he didn't want to say a single extra word.

"No."

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Wait... Are you looking for something? Perhaps I can help you."

Zhuo Ling wanted to figure out who this Male was and what his relationship with Bai Wanwan was.

If he was a powerful beastman with a background, perhaps she could make him her next Beast Husband.

But Roger didn't give her a chance to perform at all; he didn't even give her a second look before turning and leaving directly.

The smile at the corners of Zhuo Ling's mouth gradually faded.

It was like this again; as long as Bai Wanwan was involved, these Males had no other Females in their eyes.

The attraction she took pride in before Males seemed to have no effect on these Males at all.

******

The Hot Pot was steaming hot, a layer of sweat covered Yan Chi's face, but his eyes were fixed on the meat tumbling in the red broth.

Bai Wanwan hadn't expected Yan Lie's elder brother to be such a foodie.

Even though it was his first time trying it, he could actually handle this level of spiciness.

Although a "hissing" sound came from his mouth, his chopsticks never stopped.

"Big Brother, try this."

She used long chopsticks to pick up a piece of beast meat cooked just right and placed it into Yan Chi's bowl.

Yan Chi's eyes were glued to the tumbling slices of meat, showing none of his usual rugged majesty.

He impatiently dipped the meat slice into the sauce and stuffed it into his mouth.

"Mmm! It's delicious! Wan Wan, you're amazing."

This was genuine praise; he had never seen a Female like Bai Wanwan.

Not only did she personally cook for the Males, but she could also make such delicious food that it made him feel like everything he had eaten all these years was in vain.

Bai Wanwan pursed her lips and smiled. "I'm glad you like it, Big Brother."

She cooked a few more slices of meat and placed them into the bowls of Zhu Xiu, Xin Feng, and Yan Lie one after another.

Several Males also put the mushrooms and green leaves she liked into her bowl, and in a short while, it was piled up like a small mountain.

Yan Chi slapped his younger brother's shoulder. "You found a good Female; I'm happy for you."

Hearing his elder brother praise Wan Wan, Yan Lie was happier than anyone and immediately grinned. "Of course, Wan Wan is the best Female in the world."

"The roasted meat Wan Wan makes is also delicious, and there's sashimi... desserts..."

Yan Lie kept praising her, so Bai Wanwan gave him a light kick. "The meat is almost gone; go inside and slice some more."

Yan Lie had the nerve to say it, but she was too embarrassed to hear it.

It was just making some food; what was there to praise?

He praised her as if she were a rarity on earth and unique in heaven.

"Alright, then I'll slice some more."

Once Yan Lie left, Yan Chi looked at Bai Wanwan and said with a smile, "When you're free, come back to the Tribe to meet Father Beast and Mother; they will definitely welcome you warmly."

"Alright, I'll definitely go in a while."

Yan Chi's gaze turned toward the two Males beside Bai Wanwan who were eating meat quietly but had very powerful auras.

This Female was truly not simple; her Beast Husbands were all excellent, the kind that could drive Females crazy.

So, he stopped eating and said seemingly casually, "Wan Wan, our family used to think Yan Lie didn't like Females. All the Little Females in our Leopard Clan had their eyes on him, especially that girl Xue Tao; she's been following behind Yan Lie since they were little..."

The smile on Bai Wanwan's face didn't change. "Xue Tao?"

"She's the Leopard Clan leader's Female Cub, and she grew up with Yan Lie. There's also the most beautiful Female of the Fox Clan, Hua Ying; after her coming-of-age ceremony, she said she wanted to have a Pairing Ceremony with Yan Lie. Yan Lie didn't like her, so he ran away directly, never expecting to meet you."

At this point, he paused and said with a smile, "It seems Yan Lie has better taste."

He had said what needed to be said; he wanted Bai Wanwan to know that his younger brother was also liked by many excellent Females.

Just then, Yan Lie returned carrying a large basin of freshly sliced meat.

Yan Chi immediately called out to him, "Quick, quick, throw it all in."

The meal was a delight for both guests and hosts.

Yan Chi left, expressing his thanks with satisfaction.

After Yan Lie saw his elder brother off and returned, Bai Wanwan took the opportunity to pin him into a corner.

"Hua Ying... Xue Tao?"

The corners of her mouth curved up; she wanted to tease him.

Unexpectedly, Yan Lie was startled upon hearing those two names and immediately reached out to hug Bai Wanwan.

"Wan Wan, don't listen to my elder brother's nonsense..."

"Hmm? What nonsense did your elder brother say?"

Yan Lie was so anxious he scratched his head; he didn't know what his elder brother had said, or if he had said something he shouldn't have that made Wan Wan angry.

"Anyway, don't believe whatever he said. It's true that Xue Tao and I are from the same Tribe, but I've been avoiding her since she became an adult. As for that Hua Ying... I've only seen her once."

After saying that, he carefully observed Bai Wanwan's expression.

Seeing his nervous look, Bai Wanwan finally couldn't hold it in and burst out laughing.

"I see."

Seeing her smile, Yan Lie's tense back finally relaxed, and he quickly held her tight, refusing to let go. "Don't scare me like that next time."

Thinking that her other two Beast Husbands were still in the house, Bai Wanwan poked him. "Alright now, let go of me first."

Yan Lie, however, buried his head in her shoulder like a big dog. "I'm not letting go."

Bai Wanwan took the opportunity to plant a kiss on his lips. "Is this okay now?"

Yan Lie's grip tightened a bit more.

Just then, Zhu Xiu's voice came from behind. "Wan Wan, come here; I have something for you."

Hearing Zhu Xiu's voice, Bai Wanwan immediately whispered to Yan Lie, "Let go for now; I'll let you hold me during the day."

Only then did Yan Lie reluctantly let go.

By the time Bai Wanwan turned around, Zhu Xiu had already stepped into the Stone House.

She straightened her clothes and followed him into the house.
