6: Chapter 6: The House Was Raided

Bai Wanwan realized she wasn't wearing any clothes and hurriedly covered herself as she crouched down.

"Many thanks, many thanks. Actually, I'm fine, you don't need to worry about me."

"Mm."

After letting out a soft grunt of acknowledgment, he took a few steps onto the shore. Just as he was about to lift his foot to leave, he paused.

"The Rainy Season is approaching. Females shouldn't go into the water recklessly; catching a cold can be very dangerous."

After saying this, he left without looking back.

Bai Wanwan shivered from the cold and quickly wiped the water off her body with her hands, hurriedly putting on her clothes.

When she looked up again, the Male had already walked far away.

His features were too distinct; Bai Wanwan didn't even need to search her memories carefully to confirm his identity.

"Host, that beastman's Talent just now was quite good. You can have your next litter of cubs with him; you'll receive substantial rewards."

"He was severely injured, and his Talent was destroyed..."

Bai Wanwan felt pity for him.

That beastman's name was Xin Feng. His Father Beast was a powerful Male from another Tribe who had fathered him with his Mother.

Once Xin Feng grew up, he became the strongest warrior of the Cat Clan Tribe.

Every time they went hunting, with him there, they would return fully loaded.

For many years, not a single beastman had died of hunger during the Snow Season.

But an accident occurred five years ago.

The hunting party encountered an unprecedentedly fierce beast. Three Males died. If Xin Feng hadn't bought time for the other beastmen to escape, the entire group would have been wiped out in that hunt.

However, he also paid a heavy price for protecting the others.

Xin Feng was already severely injured when he escaped back. The Clan Witch exhausted all her methods, treating him for half a month before his life was finally saved.

From then on, his face was ruined, and he lost his Talent.

The powerful Male who was once surrounded and admired by Females gradually faded from everyone's sight.

"With me here, what are you afraid of? As long as you give birth to this litter and use the rewards to exchange for medicine, you can restore him to normal."

"So heaven-defying? Is there anything you can't do?" Bai Wanwan's eyes sparkled.

Thinking about how it said she could return after earning enough points, did that mean she could be resurrected even if she died?

"As long as the Host has enough points, you can even travel freely between parallel worlds."

"Really?"

Bai Wanwan felt energized. If it truly was that heaven-defying, then her current difficulties were only temporary.

There was still hope for her life of lying flat.

The air here was fresh, the trees were lush and green, and the scenery was beautiful.

If there was no lack of resources, and seemingly no lack of handsome men, living in a place like this for a lifetime seemed much happier than the cutthroat competition of Modern Times.

A gust of cold wind blew by. Bai Wanwan shivered and quickly wrapped her clothes tight to head home.

Over the next few days, Bai Wanwan caught a slight cold and started sneezing.

The two brothers, Xin Shan and Xin Yu, did show concern for her, but Bai Wanwan didn't need it.

She was even a bit annoyed; on that day, Xin Yu had clearly shown that he liked Hu Ya.

Yet in the past three or four days, he had climbed into her bed three times, annoying her to no end.

She had originally intended to let these two tool-men help her with work for a few more days, but now, she only wanted to send them away.

On this day, her spirits were finally a bit better. She wanted to go out for a walk to see if she could find a way to make her life during winter more comfortable.

Not long after she stepped out, she heard someone speaking around the corner at the end of the path.

"Xin Shan, Xin Yu, have you two really fallen in love with Bai Wanwan?"

Hu Ya was in tears, accusing the two of them.

Xin Yu put down his prey and wanted to step forward, but he held himself back, looking flustered. "Ya Ya, I... Father Beast won't let us be together."

Hu Ya looked up at him. "What about you? Do you want to be with me?"

Xin Yu pursed his lips; his heart was struggling.

He actually wanted to live a good life with Wan Wan. He was currently in heat, but Bai Wanwan had been rejecting him.

"I want to... but I can't."

"Why can't you? As long as you agree, we'll go hold a Pairing Ceremony immediately."

Xin Yu was truly a bit tempted and turned to look at his older brother.

Xin Shan's mood was also very complex, but he still refused. "Ya Ya, you already have six Beast Husbands. Wan Wan only has the two of us. Without us this Snow Season, she might not make it through."

"You worry about her, but don't you worry about me? I like you guys. Just thinking about you being with her makes my heart ache."

Seeing her tears, Xin Shan's heart softened as well.

Hu Ya threw herself into Xin Shan's arms, crying out her grievances: "Bai Wanwan has liked stealing things from me since we were little. It's because I like you guys that she's pestering you and won't let you go. She's so annoying!"

If you're going to have an affair, just have an affair. Why the personal attacks?

Bai Wanwan was furious and walked straight out from around the corner.

When the two brothers, Xin Shan and Xin Yu, saw her, they were so startled that they immediately pushed Hu Ya away.

"Wan Wan..."

Xin Yu called out guiltily, and Xin Shan was also somewhat regretful; he shouldn't have let his heart soften just now.

"Is the work finished?"

She walked closer leisurely with her arms crossed.

"Not yet, we're going right now."

The two brothers shouldered the prey on the ground and quickly left this den of trouble.

Tool-men should act like tool-men. If they wanted to be all tangled up with Hu Ya, they couldn't do it while using her name.

"Bai Wanwan, don't get ahead of yourself. Xin Shan and Xin Yu don't like you at all. From childhood until now, they've only liked me."

She thought she would see Bai Wanwan throw a fit, but instead, Bai Wanwan just smiled and said, "So what? It doesn't stop them from working for me."

Hu Ya was unwilling to give up. "You only got all of this because the Clan Leader is biased."

Bai Wanwan's gaze swept up and down her face. "And shouldn't he be? My fertility is stronger than yours. Isn't it only right to be biased toward me?"

Hu Ya was flushed with anger. In the end, she couldn't say a word; she just gave her a fierce glare and turned to run away.

Perhaps because she had suffered a loss at Bai Wanwan's hands, Hu Ya didn't confront her directly over the next few days.

Bai Wanwan was also very busy—busy satisfying her appetite.

After failing to catch fish and shrimp that day, she ordered the Xin Shan brothers every day to hunt and then go into the water to catch fish for her.

She finally managed to eat a few full meals.

In this era, the water wasn't polluted, so even the fish and shrimp were sweet and delicious. Even without seasonings, they were so fragrant she couldn't stop eating.

After finishing the last piece of fish, Bai Wanwan rubbed her rounded belly. "This is great! If only I could freeze all this fish meat so I could eat it whenever I wanted."

The Xin Shan brothers watched from the side, unable to understand. Those 'bugs' in the water weren't even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth, and some had bones that got stuck in the mouth. Why did the Little Female love eating them so much?

After eating and drinking her fill, Bai Wanwan went on her routine daily stroll.

The Xin Shan brothers also intended to go up the mountain to hunt, but who knew that they would be called out to by Hu Ya just as they stepped out of the stone cave.

"Xin Shan, Xin Yu..."

"Ya Ya, is something the matter?" Xin Shan stood his ground rationally, not approaching her.

Hu Ya pursed her lips. "Can't I come looking for you even if there's nothing wrong?"

Xin Yu quickly waved his hands. "Ya Ya, my brother didn't mean it like that."

Only then did Hu Ya smile. "I wanted to ask you for a favor. My Beast Husbands have all gone up the mountain, and I can't move things by myself."

Before Xin Shan could speak, Xin Yu had already readily agreed. "Sure, we'll help you."

Xin Shan had no choice but to follow.

Hu Ya's stone cave was smaller than Bai Wanwan's, but there was a lot of prey piled in the outer room.

"Just help me carry them over there."

The two brothers bent down and exerted their strength together.

Who knew that after only a few steps, their entire bodies would start to feel hot.

Soon, Xin Shan sensed something was wrong as an intense desire surged from his lower abdomen.

It was even more violent than being in heat.

Xin Yu's eyes were red. "Ya Ya, I... I want..."

Hu Ya had personally used a poisonous flower, so of course she knew what was happening.

"Xin Yu, whatever you want, I can give it to you."

Hu Ya walked toward the two brothers step by step.

Xin Shan shook his head forcefully, trying to clear his mind. "Xin Yu, our Consort is Wan Wan."

"No, I like Ya Ya."

When Hu Ya proactively leaned in, both Xin Yu and Xin Shan succumbed to the medicinal effects of the poisonous flower.

When Bai Wanwan returned from her stroll, she heard that the neighboring cave had already started up in broad daylight.

Beastmen didn't have many recreational activities; this was very common in the Tribe. She had encountered it several times during her walks.

"Xin Yu, you're so amazing!"

Bai Wanwan's footsteps paused.

Xin Yu?
