261: Why is Chapter 261 different?

Yan Lie opened his arms to catch his beloved Female. "Why are you running so fast?"

Bai Wanwan's heart was pounding like a drum. She no longer felt the urge to pee; she just wanted to leave as quickly as possible.

Only Yan Lie was by her side. If Roger was accompanied by other Males...

...it wouldn't be easy to settle if a commotion broke out.

She didn't explain much and just pulled Yan Lie away.

Her pace grew faster and faster, until even Yan Lie noticed something was wrong.

"Wan Wan, what's wrong?"

"I want to go back and see which Males can actually beat that bear beast."

Yan Lie stepped in front of her and half-squatted. "Then get on; I'll carry you back."

In the woods, Roger stood in the shadows, watching the Female's receding figure.

A self-deprecating smirk curled the corner of his mouth.

"Cunning liar!"

Having spent so many days with Bai Wanwan, how could he not know she was a cold-hearted and cunning Female?

For a moment just now, he had indeed been deluded, but he realized the truth after she had walked a few paces away.

If he wanted to stop her, he could have pulled her back instantly.

But he hadn't done so. What would be the point of pulling her back?

He didn't even know why he had spent all that time tracking her down to see if she was alive...

But the words she had just said to him had touched him.

To be her Beast Husband...

It felt as if something had suddenly sprouted in his heart.

It actually filled him with anticipation.

By the time Bai Wanwan and Yan Lie returned to the Plaza, a fight had already ended.

Just as Zhu Xiu had predicted, the short Male had indeed won.

Meanwhile, the previously fierce Black Bear now lay silently in the wooden cage.

As Bai Wanwan returned to her seat, the wooden cage was opened. The Black Bear was dragged out, and a Tiger Beast was quickly tossed inside.

Bai Wanwan was no longer in the mood for the spectacle. After sitting behind the stone table, she drank a cup of water to calm her nerves.

"What's wrong?" Xin Feng asked softly, noticing her pale face. "Are you feeling unwell?"

Zhu Xiu reached out and touched her forehead. Once he was certain she didn't have a fever, he asked, "What happened while you were out just now?"

Bai Wanwan didn't intend to hide anything from her Beast Husbands, so she immediately told them about her encounter with Roger.

"Roger?" Zhu Xiu's brow furrowed slightly as if he were searching his memory for who Roger was.

Sensing his confusion, Bai Wanwan reminded him of the time he had severely injured Roger.

"So it was him!"

Zhu Xiu's expression instantly darkened, and an icy aura radiated from him.

"He actually dared to come here? What did he just do to you?"

If he dared to touch Wan Wan, Zhu Xiu, who had severely injured him last time, would kill him this time.

Bai Wanwan immediately took his hand. "It's nothing. I think it was just a chance encounter. He was a bit surprised to see I was still alive."

Roger indeed hadn't harmed her. If he had wanted to change his mind at the end, she wouldn't have been able to leave the woods at all.

If Roger could live in peace after knowing her stance, she didn't want Zhu Xiu to hurt him again.

Hearing this, Xin Feng's usually gentle expression also frosted over. "Roger looked for you?"

"Yes."

Yan Lie had also heard Bai Wanwan's words and was somewhat surprised. "Wan Wan, you met a beastman in the woods just now?"

Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng turned their heads at the same time, their gazes somewhat cold.

Yan Lie's voice grew smaller. "I called out to Wan Wan just now, and she kept responding to me."

The scents in the woods were too strong and the noise outside was too loud, which had clouded his judgment.

"Don't glare at him. I was the one who kept responding to him so he wouldn't get suspicious. It's not a big deal. He's probably here with a Caravan and will leave in a few days."

At this point, she thought of Roger's face and how it had changed slightly. She couldn't help but ask Xin Feng, "Xin Feng, I remember you said Roger was almost violated by a Female beast, which is why he resists and rejects Females?"

She hadn't seen Roger rejecting Females at all. Whether it was back in the Cat Clan Tribe when he visited her house every other day, or just now when he held her with that dark, inscrutable look in his eyes.

She had seen that look in the eyes of Zhu Xiu, Xin Feng, and Yan Lie before.

That didn't look like a Male who had no feelings for Females.

"Yes," Xin Feng looked at his Female, unable to help but worry. "But Wan Wan, you are different from other Females. He might reject other Females, but he won't necessarily reject you."

Following Xin Feng's words, the several Beast Husbands all turned their gazes toward her.

Bai Wanwan quickly forced a smile. "How am I different? Everyone's the same. I just thought his face looked a bit strange, different from the last time I saw him."

"Because he used a rubber fruit. Once prepared in a special way, rubber fruits can be used to change one's appearance."

Bai Wanwan's eyes widened. "He can even use a disguise? You mean he didn't originally look like that?"

"Yes, he didn't look like that when I saved him. He probably used the rubber fruit to avoid being pestered by Females."

In that case, she had never seen Roger's true face...

Bai Wanwan stopped talking. Several plates of raw meat and fruit were laid out on the stone table in front of her.

She wouldn't touch the raw meat, so she reached out, took a fruit, and put it in her mouth.

Just as she took a bite and looked up, she met Jin Yi's gaze across from her.

Bai Wanwan was stunned for a moment. Just as she was about to smile and nod at him, Jin Yi quickly looked away.

She didn't think much of it and continued chewing the fruit.

Below, the warrior in the wooden cage was still fighting the Tiger Beast. Bai Wanwan took a glance, and her heart leaped into her throat.

The Tiger Beast's claws swiped across the Male's chest repeatedly, nearly disemboweling him several times.

But in an instant, the situation reversed. It turned out the Male had deliberately forced the Tiger Beast into a corner.

He dodged and leaped onto the Tiger Beast's back.

The Tiger Beast was furious and tossed its head, trying to throw the Male off.

But no matter how much it jumped or crashed around, it couldn't shake off the Male clinging to its back.

Its sharp teeth and claws seemed to have become useless.

At that moment, the Male transformed into a Golden Lion, bit the Tiger Beast's neck, and tore it fiercely...

Blood splattered everywhere; the scene was extremely bloody.

The Tiger Beast gradually slumped to the ground. As its blood drained away, it convulsed for a while before finally becoming still.

Roar...

Roar...

A series of lion roars proclaimed his glory.

The Golden Lion jumped off the Tiger Beast with an air of majesty.

He slowly turned around, his golden eyes seemingly sweeping over Bai Wanwan.

"Jin Luo, Jin Yuan, come forward." Patriarch Jin Cang called out to them with a face full of joy, waving them over.

The Male called Jin Luo quickly shifted into human form and walked forward along with the short Male from before.

"Patriarch, may the beast god bless us."

"Well done. What reward do you want?" Jin Cang was in a good mood. His gaze swept over the two Males; these two were the ones in the Tribe with hope of advancing from the Green Tier to the Yellow Tier.

Yellow-Tier Males were few in number, and every one of them was precious.

Just as Bai Wanwan was also curious about what they wanted, the Male who had just defeated the Tiger Beast suddenly turned his head to look at her.
