352: Chapter 352 The Search for the Beastmen

The turbulent river water rushed down, carrying broken branches. The King Cobra's snake body was worn and tattered, yet it seemed completely unaware.

Similarly, the fur on Jin Yi, Xin Feng, and Yan Lie had lost its healthy luster, and every Male was covered in wounds.

The light in their eyes was gradually fading.

The King Cobra's massive body made a sharp turn in the river and said to the three Males behind it, "Go ashore first."

They had been searching along this river for seven whole days and had not found anything related to Wan Wan.

"If we can't find Wan Wan, what do we do?"

Yan Lie had just emerged from the water and slapped the surface with a claw again.

"Wan Wan will definitely be fine. She said she has a system, and she must be waiting safely for us to find her." Xin Feng comforted himself this way so he could find the strength to keep going.

"But why can't we find anything?" Jin Yi's voice was hoarse, and his golden pupils were bloodshot.

Zhu Xiu stared silently at the water surface, and after a long time, he spoke, "We might have overlooked some clues."

"Then what do we do now? Go back and search?" The nails on Yan Lie's claws were all turned up and damaged, but he seemed completely unable to feel it.

"Yes, go back and search!" Jin Yi immediately turned to head back.

Zhu Xiu did not try to stop him, only saying to Xin Feng, "You and Yan Lie continue downstream. Jin Yi and I will search back the other way. If we don't find her, we will meet back here in three days."

All four Males knew that if they couldn't find Wan Wan, they wouldn't be able to bear the consequences.

That Female who always smiled and acted coquettishly in their arms, that partner who used her soft fingers to bandage their wounds.

No matter what, they had to find her!

Meanwhile, in the Peacock Tribe, Bai Wanwan was sitting by the creek, combing her long hair.

She wore a newly woven flower wreath in her hair, which emitted a faint fragrance.

Her slender, fair feet splashed the water surface one after another.

Yin Ze walked toward her with long strides, carrying fruit he had just picked from the mountain in a beast skin bag.

She splashed water at him, and Yin Ze dodged with a smile on his lips, "I just saw them and picked them for you and Female Elder Sister to eat."

Bai Wanwan took it and took a bite, "So sweet!"

Just as she was speaking, a sharp pain suddenly pierced her temples.

In that instant, several blurry figures flashed through her mind.

But it was too fast; she tried to grasp some images but couldn't catch them at all.

"Wan Wan?" Yin Ze hurriedly steadied her swaying body.

The young Male's eyes were filled with worry, "Are you feeling unwell again?"

Bai Wanwan shook her head, and her reflection in the water showed her furrowed brows.

She didn't say anything for a long while.

"I'll go help you call the Clan Witch."

Bai Wanwan pulled on his beast skin skirt, "No need to go, I'm fine. I just feel... like I've forgotten something very important."

Ever since she was saved by Yin Ze from the Riverside, these fragmented memories were like fish at the bottom of a river—impossible to catch.

She sat motionless, trying hard to recall something, but even though her head ached from thinking, she still had no leads.

"Your injuries haven't fully healed yet." Yin Ze watched her from the side, "The Clan Witch said you need to rest more, don't let your imagination run wild."

Bai Wanwan tried hard to recall for a long time but really couldn't remember anything. She was incredibly discouraged and lost the mood to play.

In the following days, Bai Wanwan obediently rested to recover, trying to recall things sooner.

Days passed, and her body was clearly fully recovered, with her complexion becoming much rosier.

By this time, the Peacock Clan already knew that Yin Mei's family had picked up an exceptionally beautiful Little Female.

Many young Males of the Peacock Clan would secretly come to see her.

The bold ones would even directly propose courtship to her.

Yin Ze kept a dark face and drove these Males away one by one.

But no matter how he drove them away, the beautiful Female was like tempting honey, holding ultimate attraction for the Males.

"Beautiful Female, are you willing to accept my prey?"

When Yin Ze returned again, he just happened to see Bai Wanwan being blocked by a Male from the Peacock Clan, who was offering the beast he had hunted.

Bai Wanwan smiled and refused, "Sorry, I don't need it. You should give it to someone else."

But this Male was not as simple and polite as the previous ones.

After being rejected by Bai Wanwan, his face turned dark, and he grabbed Bai Wanwan directly, "Little Female, I heard you were picked up. You are an Outsider Female here, and my family has great strength in the Peacock Clan. If you enter a Pairing Ceremony with me, you will receive more care."

Bai Wanwan was a bit annoyed, her gaze turning cold, "I don't need it, let go!"

The Male looked at her angry, pretty face, and his heart beat even faster, "Little Female, you look so beautiful. I really like you. If you enter a Pairing Ceremony with me, I will definitely treat you well."

Just as he finished speaking, his abdomen took a hit. Yin Ze walked over with a dark face, "Didn't you hear her refuse you? Get lost! If you dare to come again, I will cripple your legs."

The other party was still very unconvinced, "You are also an Outsider Beastman, what right do you have to be so overbearing? I'm just courting her, is that any of your business?"

"She has already refused you!" Yin Ze was clearly suppressing his anger.

If it weren't for the fact that they were under the care of the Peacock Clan, he would have immediately crippled this Male.

Bai Wanwan noticed his anger and reached out to pull him, "Let's go, ignore him, let's go inside."

Yin Ze's anger was slightly soothed. He gave a grunt of acknowledgment and followed beside her, walking slowly inside.

Yin Mei heard the commotion and came out. Seeing the Peacock Clan Male's resentful retreating back, she asked with some concern, "What happened?"

Yin Ze said with a dark face, "He just laid hands on Wan Wan and tried to force her into a Pairing Ceremony."

Upon hearing this, Yin Mei hurriedly took Bai Wanwan's hand and said, "Wan Wan, you are too beautiful, the Males are crazy for you. In the future, if you want to go out, tell your Female Elder Sister, and I'll accompany you, okay?"

Bai Wanwan was a bit absent-minded, but she could feel the sincerity of the siblings towards her, so she nodded in response, "Okay."

Yin Mei raised her hand to stroke her head, "Go inside first."

After Bai Wanwan stepped into the house, Yin Ze also intended to follow her in.

But he was called out by Yin Mei, "Yin Ze, wait a moment."

"Female Elder Sister, is something the matter?" His gaze glanced inside, but he could only patiently stand there and wait for Female Elder Sister to speak.

Yin Mei took in all his reactions, then lifted her chin, a smile appearing on her face, "Our Little Ze has grown up and knows how to protect the Female he loves."

Yin Ze's ears suddenly turned red, "Female Elder Sister, don't talk nonsense, be careful not to scare her."

"I know. It's just that Female Elder Sister is very happy to see you care about a Female like this. Yin Ze, you have sacrificed too much for me. If you truly like Wan Wan, Female Elder Sister also hopes you can enter a Pairing Ceremony and live happily."

Just as they were speaking, Kong Lai's shout suddenly came from the house, "Yin Mei, come quickly and take a look, Wan Wan has fainted!"
