26: Chapter 26 Almost Let It Go

"No leaving! I want to eat meat."

After saying that, he became even less polite, grabbing his chopsticks and immediately scooping up meat.

Xin Feng hadn't even eaten two pieces before Roger arrived and snatched away all the roasted meat.

Bai Wanwan directly stuck out her chopsticks to block him, "If you want to eat, go roast it yourself."

As she spoke, her gaze shifted without pause to Xin Feng, her tone clearly softening by a fraction.

"Xin Feng, hurry up and eat."

Xin Feng could sense Roger's glare filled with anger, but he didn't look over either. He just curved his lips into a smile for Bai Wanwan and nodded, "Okay."

Roger ground his teeth, "Little Female, do you hate me? Why is your attitude toward Xin Feng different?"

Bai Wanwan looked speechless, "This is my home, and he is my Beast Husband. Of course, I have to treat him differently."

Her words were flawless, but Roger simply couldn't stand seeing her smile at Xin Feng while treating him like air.

He could only take out his frustration on the meat, fiercely picking up a piece and throwing it onto the stone slab.

At first, he was still a bit annoyed, but later, he was completely won over by the saucy slices of meat.

He ate one piece after another.

Bai Wanwan watched him, his stomach seeming like a bottomless pit; the meat prepared for both of them was nearly eaten by him alone.

"Haven't you had enough?" She held back her urge and didn't immediately reach out to take the meat away.

"How much have I eaten? I’ll have someone send you more meat later."

Bai Wanwan was satisfied and nodded, "Then remember to send it later. If you don't send it, there won't be a next time."

Roger could see that this Little Female wouldn't suffer any loss; she was just waiting for him to say this.

"Fine, fine."

Xin Feng ignored Roger beside him, continuing to take care of Bai Wanwan at his own pace.

Seeing that he was always roasting and found it hard to eat a piece himself, Bai Wanwan kept up the action of feeding him.

The uninjured half of Xin Feng's face looked very handsome when he smiled, but Roger found it infuriating to watch.

Suddenly, Xin Feng dropped the smile from his face and turned his head to look toward the entrance.

Noticing this, Bai Wanwan swallowed the meat in her mouth and tilted her body, following his gaze to look outside.

"What are you looking at?"

Before Xin Feng could answer, she saw four Males walking over, each carrying a gigantic piece of prey on their shoulders.

In less than a minute, they arrived in front of her.

The Male leading the group, Wu Mu, put down the prey, placed a hand over his chest, and stared at her with burning eyes.

"Wan Wan, we are the Beast Husbands chosen for you by the Clan Chief. We will take good care of you from now on."

The inquiry in Bai Wanwan's eyes immediately turned into rage. That old man always seemed to be working against her, insisting on messing up her life.

The two sons hadn't been sent over successfully, and now he had picked four more for her.

"You all can go back. I don't need other Beast Husbands."

Her voice carried distinct displeasure, and she couldn't even be bothered to look at them again.

The other three Males simultaneously turned to look at Wu Mu.

He was the strongest and held the highest authority among the Males.

Wu Mu took a step forward, his rugged features radiating the confidence of a strong Tribe member.

"Wan Wan, Xin Feng cannot protect you. During the long Snow Season, without the protection and care of a powerful Male, your body won't last until the next Warm Season."

Roger had already set down his chopsticks, adopting a watching stance, looking at those Males, then turning to Bai Wanwan.

Xin Feng's hand gripping the chopsticks tightened. He knew Wu Mu’s words were true; Wan Wan would eventually have other Beast Husbands, and Wu Mu, with his Green Tier Talent, could protect Wan Wan.

But he knew this decision rested entirely with Wan Wan.

Everyone seemed to be waiting for Bai Wanwan to speak, all eyes fixed on her.

Bai Wanwan looked up at Wu Mu, her attitude direct.

"Xin Feng will take good care of me. You all can go back."

Wu Mu frowned, his feet remaining planted, "Wan Wan, this is the Clan Chief's order. We cannot go back."

"If it's the Clan Chief's order, then go find the Clan Chief. Don't cause trouble here."

Wu Mu originally thought this matter would proceed without any setbacks; the four of them were certain to become the Sacred Female's Beast Husbands.

After all, Bai Wanwan had entered into a Pairing Ceremony with Xin Feng, a Male who was both ugly and had his Talent ruined.

He was superior to Xin Feng in every aspect.

Therefore, he found it somewhat hard to accept, "Wan Wan, I am stronger than Xin Feng..."

"Stop right there! This is only temporary. Xin Feng will recover sooner or later, and he will be stronger than you."

No one else dared to slander her Beast Husband in front of her.

The situation reached a stalemate. Just then, Hu Ya rushed in.

"Wu Mu? What are you doing here?"

Although her tone carried a question, she had just overheard that Wu Mu was going to be Bai Wanwan's Beast Husband!

He had clearly said he wanted to be her Beast Husband. When the previous Pairing Ceremony occurred, he said to wait, so it turned out he wanted to become Bai Wanwan's Beast Husband.

Wu Mu also hadn't expected Hu Ya to suddenly appear, causing him a moment of panic.

Like Xin Shan and Xin Yu, they had known since childhood that Hu Ya was the Female in the Tribe with the most excellent fertility. After reaching adulthood and passing the fertility test, the most powerful Males of their Tribe would all become Hu Ya's Beast Husbands.

Previously, like the other Males, he had used every means to curry favor with Hu Ya, hoping to become one of her Beast Husbands.

But ever since Bai Wanwan was tested as a Sacred Female during the fertility test, Wu Mu had wavered.

In the minds of their Males, the more excellent the fertility of a Female, the stronger her allure.

Bai Wanwan being a Sacred Female meant that pairing with her not only eliminated worries about bearing Cubs but also meant they could give birth to Cubs with extraordinary Talents.

No Male could refuse such temptation.

So Wu Mu hesitated, deliberating over this period.

Ultimately, he decided to become the Sacred Female's Beast Husband.

Hu Ya’s anger surged, and she directly reached out and shoved him, "You tell me! Why are you in Bai Wanwan's cave? Are you also trying to become her Beast Husband?"

"Ya Ya, this is the Clan Chief's order. A few of us were indeed chosen by the Clan Chief, and from now on, we will be Wan Wan's Beast Husbands."

Bai Wanwan raised her hand to interrupt them, "You two can argue all you want, but don't drag me into it. Whatever you two are is none of my business."

How annoying, it was affecting her enjoyment of the roasted meat.

The words "In a bad mood" seemed to hang right on her face.

"If you're going to fight, take it outside."

With that, she continued roasting her own meat.

She also called out to Xin Feng, "Ignore them, let's keep eating."

"Okay."

Xin Feng breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wan Wan didn't agree, the Clan Chief couldn't possibly force a Sacred Female.

Hearing Bai Wanwan's words, Hu Ya's anger flared even more.

What did Bai Wanwan mean by this? She snatched away her Beast Husband, and she didn't even care?

"Bai Wanwan, you keep snatching my Beast Husbands one by one. Are you very proud of yourself?"

Bai Wanwan couldn't even be bothered to look at her, "If there's a problem with your brain, you can ask the Clan Witch to take a look. Can't you understand? I just said that was the Clan Chief's decision and has nothing to do with me. If you want to make a fuss, go make a fuss with the Clan Chief. Who you like has nothing to do with me either."

Wu Mu also reached out to pull Hu Ya back, "Ya Ya, you already have many Beast Husbands. They can take care of you. Wan Wan only has Xin Feng, and Xin Feng is injured and lost his Talent. If we stay to take care of Wan Wan, she can survive this winter safely."

Hu Ya violently shook off his hand, "Stop lying to me! You just fell for Bai Wanwan because she is the Sacred..."

"Hu Ya!"
