278: Chapter 278 The Ability to Annoy People

When Bai Wanwan and her Beast Husbands returned to the Tribe, the excitement of the Harvest Festival was still ongoing.

Beastmen coming and going chatted happily, while The Cubs chased each other around, occasionally snatching a piece of fresh meat from an adult beastman's hand...

In such a lively atmosphere, no one knew what Bai Wanwan had experienced.

Their group quietly returned to the Stone House where they lived.

Hearing the movement in her own room, Shi Hua immediately said to her Beast Husband with surprise, "Sister Wanwan is back."

After saying that, she stood up and ran out.

Mu Feng, feeling helpless, chased after her while holding a cub. "Slow down! Since she's back, everything is fine. Don't trip and fall."

Shi Hua ignored him and ran over before Bai Wanwan could even sit down inside the house.

"Sister, you're finally back! Are you injured?"

Shi Hua gripped her hand tightly, her eyes scanning her up and down with worry.

Only after seeing that her clothes were neat and she didn't seem injured did she breathe a small sigh of relief.

Bai Wanwan patted the back of her hand in return. "I'm fine. Those beastmen who caused trouble for me were after the Young Clan Leader. I was framed by Zhuo Ling, so they just happened to capture me as well."

Hearing that it was Zhuo Ling's framing, anger flared on Shi Hua's honest, usually non-irritable face.

"Why does she always have to make things difficult for you, Sister?"

Sister Wanwan clearly did nothing wrong and was even very kind to an infertile Female like her, yet Zhuo Ling always targeted her.

Originally, she had been used to being submissive since childhood and didn't know how to refuse others.

But now she had made up her mind: she would never say another word to Zhuo Ling in the future and would take a detour whenever they met.

If she ever came to her house again, she definitely wouldn't open the door to let her in.

Bai Wanwan saw her small face puffed up with anger, wondering what she was thinking.

She couldn't help but laugh and say, "I haven't even said much yet, what are you so angry about?"

"I just didn't expect Zhuo Ling to be so wicked. I thought since we are from the same Tribe, I shouldn't refuse her enthusiasm, but she actually treated you like this, Sister... From now on, from now on... I'll never talk to her again."

Shi Hua sounded like a sulky little girl. Bai Wanwan pulled her along to sit down.

She leaned back slightly, raising an eyebrow with a meaningful smile. "There probably won't be a 'from now on' anymore."

Shi Hua blinked, seemingly not understanding. "Sister, what do you mean?"

"At the time, both she and I were captured. While Young Clan Leader Jin Yi was negotiating with those Bear Clan Beastmen, Zhuo Ling tried to escape secretly. Her leg was bitten through by a wild wolf, and she had already lost a lot of blood before being sent back. I'm afraid she won't survive..."

Shi Hua opened her mouth in shock, seemingly unable to fully digest the news.

She never expected Zhuo Ling would meet such an end.

"In a moment, I'm going to the Witch's Cave to see if Zhuo Ling's injuries are serious."

If they weren't serious, she would have to finish the job.

Shi Hua immediately said, "Then I'll go with you, Sister."

Bai Wanwan didn't refuse. "Alright, then we'll go together in a bit."

The Cubs had already gathered around, leaning against her feet and whimpering incessantly.

The Snake Cubs had also long since coiled around her, feeling very satisfied as they smelled the sweet scent on their Mother.

Bai Wanwan picked up The Cubs by her feet one by one, kissing them repeatedly and kneading their fluffy little ears.

"Mommy has to go out for a bit later. I'll come back to stay with you tonight, okay?"

The Cubs whimpered in unison, clearly disagreeing.

Bai Wanwan had no choice but to play with The Cubs first, petting each of them in turn.

She discovered that not only did the fluffy Cubs like being petted, but even the Snake Cubs would squint their eyes comfortably when she stroked them.

After holding The Cubs and chatting with Shi Hua for about an hour, Shi Hua handed her own cub to Mu Feng, telling him to take The Cubs back.

"I'm going to accompany Sister to the Witch's Cave."

Mu Feng was worried. "Then I'll go with you both."

"No need, I'll be with Sister..."

Mu Feng wanted to say more, but Bai Wanwan reassured him, "My Beast Husbands will accompany us later. You just stay home and look after The Cubs."

After that was settled, Bai Wanwan turned to look at her three Beast Husbands.

Xin Feng was preparing dinner for them, while Zhu Xiu and Yan Lie were tanning beast skins.

After a quick glance, Bai Wanwan walked lightly over to Yan Lie and Zhu Xiu.

"I want to go to the Witch's Cave now. Which of you will come with me?"

In the past, Yan Lie would have definitely responded actively, but today his mouth twitched, and he remained silent.

Zhu Xiu put down the beast skin in his hand and said directly, "I'll go with you."

Bai Wanwan smiled and replied, "Okay."

Her gaze swept over Yan Lie, noticing that his state was not quite right.

She knew in her heart that he still hadn't let go of the shadow left by these two incidents.

So she leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Then Zhu Xiu and I will go first. You can accompany me somewhere else next time."

Yan Lie nodded with a smile, trying his best to maintain a bright expression, but the smile clearly didn't reach his eyes.

"Okay."

Bai Wanwan sighed inwardly. She wanted to say more, but her hand was held by a slightly cool hand.

"Let's go, it'll be dark soon."

Bai Wanwan could only nod. "Alright, let's head over then."

After walking out of the cave, Bai Wanwan walked alongside Shi Hua, while Zhu Xiu followed behind the two Females, his gaze seemingly casual but actually watching all the movement around them.

The Witch's Cave wasn't very far from their residence.

It only took two or three minutes to arrive on foot.

Painful wails came from inside the cave, and that voice was all too familiar to Bai Wanwan.

The corners of her mouth curved up as she lifted her skirt, stepped up the stairs, and entered the Witch's Cave first.

The Shamans in the cave recognized her as the Female who sat beside the Clan Leader at the banquet.

Knowing her status was extraordinary, the Shamans nodded and greeted her one after another.

After responding to each of them, Bai Wanwan took the initiative to explain her purpose. "I'm here to see the Female Zhuo Ling. Can her injuries be treated?"

The Shamans thought she was Zhuo Ling's friend and was concerned about her condition.

They all looked a bit troubled. "The Clan Witch is already doing her best to treat her..."

No one said anything further.

Bai Wanwan didn't make it difficult for them either, nodding with a smile. "Then I'll go in and see for myself."

Zhuo Ling, who was groggy with pain, heard Bai Wanwan's voice. She suddenly became a bit more lucid and let out a roar toward the cave entrance.

Meeting her roar, Bai Wanwan maintained her smile and walked in slowly.

On the Stone Bed of the Witch's Cave, Zhuo Ling had lost her former soft beauty and health.

Her face was as pale as paper, and her eyes were bulging as if they were about to pop out.

"Bai... Wan Wan."

Her voice was weak, yet one could hear the gritted teeth behind it.

Bai Wanwan walked up to her in a few steps and feigned a sob. "Zhuo Ling, how could you be so unlucky! If you hadn't run, you wouldn't have been bitten, let alone be dying at such a young age... For the next two hundred years, I'll be living my lonely life, and I won't even be able to remember you. You really are too pitiful!"

Zhuo Ling was already furious to see Bai Wanwan still alive and well, and after hearing her words, she almost couldn't catch her breath.
