Chapter 417: Really Not Going In?

When the Males building the houses returned under the cover of night, they found the unusual quietness at home today.

Zhu Xiu's expression changed, and he quickly strode inside.

Yin Mei happened to be coming out of the room, intending to check on the Wolf Cub's condition again, when she bumped into her brother who had just returned from outside.

"You're back?" Yin Mei grabbed her brother's arm, "Something happened at home today. The Wolf Cub was bitten and hasn't woken up yet."

Upon hearing this, Yin Ze, without responding to Yin Mei, hurriedly followed Zhu Xiu into the house.

As soon as the Males entered the room, they sensed something was amiss.

Bai Wanwan and Xin Feng stood nearby, while the Wolf Cub lay on the Stone Bed covered in wounds, looking utterly miserable.

"What happened?"

Qiu Rong walked to the Stone Bed and looked down at the Wolf Cub lying there.

This was his Tiger Clan under his governance, not the wild. How could something so severe happen here?

"Cubs was robbed of its prey today and was bitten nearly to death. I noticed a strange scent on it. Sister Yin Mei went to fetch the Shaman to examine it. Cubs was paralyzed by Maman Grass, unable to move, which is why it was bitten so badly."

After listening, Qiu Rong turned to face her, "I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you and Xin Feng an explanation."

But Bai Wanwan shook her head at him, "As the clan leader, it's not appropriate for you to intervene in this matter. I want to handle it myself."

If Qiu Rong intervened, showing too much favoritism towards them, it would cause discontent among the other beastmen.

She wouldn't let this matter rest. She would avenge the Wolf Cub using her own methods.

After hearing this, Qiu Rong looked at Xin Feng, who remained silent beside him, "Is that what you think too?"

"Yes, Wan Wan wants to vent her anger for the Wolf Cub in her own way, and so do I."

Qiu Rong understood the feelings of a Father Beast. If his Tiger Cub were bitten like this, he too would set aside his identity as clan leader and resolve it in his own way.

"Since you've decided, proceed as you wish. If you encounter problems you cannot solve, I will help you."

With Qiu Rong backing them up, Bai Wanwan was even less afraid.

Right now, she even felt like tearing a hole in the sky to vent her fury!

Several Beast Husbands came forward one after another to comfort Bai Wanwan.

Zhu Xiu waited until everyone had dispersed before he approached.

"I'll accompany you to find the beastmen who harmed the Wolf Cub. Shall we go?"

Bai Wanwan turned her head sharply, shifting her gaze from the Wolf Cub to him.

"Can you find them?"

"I'll try."

During the day, she had asked Xin Feng. They could track the beastmen who harmed him through the scent on the Wolf Cub, but the Tiger Clan was a Super Tribe. Searching this way would be like looking for a needle in a haystack.

She thought that since the Wolf Cub had used the Highly Effective Wound Healing Medicine, it should recover a lot after sleeping through the night.

So she suppressed her impatience and waited.

Now, with Zhu Xiu mentioning it, Bai Wanwan couldn't hold back any longer.

She immediately said to Xin Feng, "Xin Feng, Zhu Xiu and I are going out to look. We'll search if we can, and if not, we'll wait for Cubs to wake up. Please take good care of him tonight."

Xin Feng also wanted to go search personally, but his Wolf Cub was injured so severely; he couldn't leave.

He could settle these scores after Cubs woke up.

"Alright, you two be careful too."

The other Beast Husbands had already gone to look after the remaining Cubs. Xin Feng saw them out the door.

"Wan Wan, come back once you find them. We can settle the score slowly later."

"Mm, okay."

After waving to Xin Feng, Bai Wanwan was lifted by Zhu Xiu's long tail. His form swiftly glided through the Tribe's streets.

At every intersection, Zhu Xiu would flick out his serpent tongue, seemingly carefully distinguishing scents.

After searching like this for a full three hours, Bai Wanwan clung tightly to his Beast Form, "How is it? Almost found them?"

"Mm, they're nearby." Zhu Xiu stared at the building ahead, giving a definite answer.

"Since they're nearby, let's sneak in and search quietly. Your Beast Form is too large; why not change to human form?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Zhu Xiu had already transformed into his human form and walked beside her.

"The scents around here are all from Yellow-Tier Males. Stay close to me."

The Wolf Cub also had Yellow-Tier Talent, though young and inexperienced.

But the Males who injured it definitely wouldn't be of low strength.

They slowly moved inward. Most beastmen were already asleep.

Indescribable sounds came from the courtyards of every household.

Zhu Xiu held her and brought her to the door of a Stone House.

"Here?" She turned her head to ask Zhu Xiu.

And Zhu Xiu's gaze locked onto a piece of peeled beast skin on the ground.

The beast skin still carried a very strong scent of the Wolf Cub.

This should be the beast the Wolf Cub had hunted.

Zhu Xiu withdrew his gaze, focusing on the tightly shut door, "Mm, this is the place!"

Bai Wanwan looked at the tightly closed door, fire almost shooting from her eyes!

"Shall we go in?" Zhu Xiu's expression was very calm. Even though there were four Yellow-Tier Males inside, if Wan Wan said she wanted to go in, he would not hesitate to eliminate these beastmen for her.

Bai Wanwan seemed to know what he was thinking. She reached out, grabbed him, and shook her head at him, "No hurry. They hurt my Cubs. Letting them die silently and quietly is too easy for them."

Bai Wanwan memorized this Stone House and said with restraint, "Zhu Xiu, let's go back for now."

"Really not going in?"

Zhu Xiu stared at her face, seemingly trying to discern her expression.

"Mm, not going in. Let's go home."

In the end, Zhu Xiu still accompanied Bai Wanwan back to their temporary dwelling.

Upon entering the house, she heard the Wolf Cub's voice. Immediately letting go of Zhu Xiu's hand, she rushed towards the room.

Zhu Xiu watched her running figure, paused slightly in his steps, and then followed closely behind.

Inside the room, Xin Feng was feeding meat to the Wolf Cub.

It seemed ravenous, devouring the food voraciously while asking vaguely between bites, "Father Beast, when will Mom be back?"

"Soon. She'll be back once you've eaten your fill."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wanwan walked in from outside the door.

She quickly ran to the Wolf Cub's side, embracing it in her arms, "Good Cubs, does it still hurt?"

The Wolf Cub wasn't really a Male Cub who liked to show its weaknesses. It endured the pain and shook its head, "Mom, it doesn't hurt. Don't worry about me."

Tears welled up in Bai Wanwan's eyes. How could it not hurt after being injured like that?

But she didn't expose Cubs's lie, just held it gently, "Mom will blow on it for you..."

The Wolf Cub greedily inhaled the sweet scent and warmth of its Mother's embrace.

It had grown up. Now, Mother's embrace belonged exclusively to its younger siblings. It hadn't fought with them for it in a long time.

But at this moment, it still very much wished Mother would hold it a little longer.

Bai Wanwan held it, her face buried against its back, so Cubs couldn't see the expression on her face.

Looking at those dense, large and small wounds, a layer of pain also colored her eyes.

"Father Beast, I'm full."

Only when its belly was round and full did the Wolf Cub refuse its Father Beast's continued feeding.

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to release it, it grabbed the hem of her clothes, "Mom, can you sleep with me tonight?"

In the beastmen world, half-grown Cubs were already independent and rarely stayed close to their Mother.

But looking at his Cubs's gaze towards Wan Wan, Xin Feng couldn't bring himself to refuse the battered and bruised Wolf Cub.

And Bai Wanwan had already lain down, pulling the Wolf Cub into her embrace, "Alright, tonight Mom will stay with my good Cubs."
