93: Chapter 93 Plausible Phrases
Zhuo Ling had been pursued and loved by many Males since childhood, so she was used to being targeted by other Females.
She didn't care about their hostility at all; after all, her Beast Husbands were more powerful than theirs.
If they provoked her, she would have Lu Da beat up their Beast Husbands.
Zhuo Ling couldn't be bothered to say more to them, so she turned and left.
After Bai Wanwan was sent home by Zhu Xiu, she stayed to play with The Cubs.
"Little Cubs, eat more and grow a bit stronger."
A little Cubs nibbled her finger gently; seeing this, Zhu Xiu immediately walked over and pulled the cub away.
"Don't spoil them; when they're a bit older, they could bite you at any time."
After Zhu Xiu spoke, he gave The Cubs a stern glare.
The Cubs immediately began whimpering, clearly frightened by Zhu Xiu's stern look, and they instantly became obedient.
"The Cubs are still small, don't be so mean."
As she was speaking, a Female's gentle voice sounded from outside: "Is Wan Wan here?"
"I'm here, what do you need?"
In comparison, Xin Feng's voice sounded flat and emotionless.
Bai Wanwan walked out slowly; when Zhuo Ling saw her, she immediately acted like an old friend she hadn't seen in years, a familiar smile appearing on her face, "Wan Wan."
Bai Wanwan thought that since she was bored anyway, she would see what Zhuo Ling wanted to do.
"Xin Feng, go do your work, I'll go out and talk to her."
"Okay." Xin Feng turned and went into the house.
Zhuo Ling stared at Xin Feng's back until Bai Wanwan called her name; only then did she seem to snap out of it and smile again.
"Wan Wan, I heard you'll be living in the Black Dog Tribe for a long time?" She affectionately took her arm.
Bai Wanwan didn't push her away, but simply pretended to know nothing and replied with a smile: "That's the plan for now."
"Then play with us from now on. When it gets a bit warmer, I'll take you to the Riverside to pick fruit. That fruit is very sweet; you'll definitely love it."
This Female was clever; she even knew how to use sugar-coated bullets to win her trust.
"Sure."
Bai Wanwan had a look of pure, innocent stupidity, appearing like the type who would help someone count the money after being sold by them.
Zhuo Ling stared at her smiling face, somewhat puzzled; did those powerful Males all like this kind of Female?
She leaned in closer, acting like a close sister.
"Wan Wan, have you never left the vicinity of your Tribe before?"
"No, never."
She mainly focused on answering whatever was asked.
"If you never left, how did you find these Beast Husbands of yours?"
"I found them in the Tribe, and some I picked up on the road after the Tribe was destroyed."
Comparing beasts is truly infuriating.
She picked up three powerful Males just like that?
"Do your Beast Husbands have any other brothers?"
"It doesn't seem like it."
"Then which Tribe do they come from?"
So beastmen also liked to conduct background checks; she kept circling back to ask about her two Beast Husbands.
"They didn't tell me. You've asked me so much, now it's my turn to ask you, right?"
"Eh?"
Before Zhuo Ling could react, Bai Wanwan began her counter-questions.
"Besides your four Beast Husbands, do you like any other Males?" A light of gossip sparkled in Bai Wanwan's eyes.
Because of her words, Zhuo Ling immediately thought of Jin Yi, and she couldn't help but let out an "Mhm."
Bai Wanwan continued to press: "Is he a Male from the Black Dog Tribe?"
"No." Zhuo Ling turned her head and saw those two busy Males in the Stone House, her competitiveness rising.
"He is the Young Clan Leader of the Large Tribe, the Golden Lion Tribe, has a Yellow-Tier Talent, and is no less handsome than your two Males."
Talk is talk, but there's no need to put others down.
Bai Wanwan snorted, "I don't believe it, my Beast Husbands are the best."
"Your Beast Husbands are great, but he's even better. He's the Young Clan Leader and will become the Chief of a Large Tribe in the future."
"Really? Then is he your Beast Husband?"
This was undoubtedly a critical hit; Zhuo Ling's face turned from pale to flushed.
"Even though he's not my Beast Husband right now, he's always liked me."
Even now, Zhuo Ling didn't realize she was being led by the nose by Bai Wanwan; the one who came to pry for information had become the one voluntarily spilling it.
"I don't believe it."
This sentence triggered the Female's competitiveness.
"In a while, he will come to our Tribe; you'll see for yourself then. He has always liked me and hasn't had a Pairing Ceremony yet. This time, I'll definitely make him my Beast Husband."
As they went on, Zhuo Ling talked more and more, with Bai Wanwan playing along as her hype man from time to time.
Only when Zhuo Ling left Bai Wanwan's house did she realize: she went to pump Bai Wanwan for information, so how did it end up with her confessing everything?
Bai Wanwan also listened with great interest, though she didn't know how much of what was said was true or false.
Whatever, if there's fun to be had, just listen...

The weather grew warmer day by day; Bai Wanwan spent every day either out for a walk or researching delicious food.
She exchanged Cherries, Blueberries, strawberries, hawthorns, and white sugar from the System.
Then she stood before the stove and started tinkering.
Xin Feng walked to her side and took a couple of looks, "What are you making? I'll help you."
Bai Wanwan was washing the fruit; she turned back and said to him, "Get the fire going."
Xin Feng skillfully lit the firewood, and in a short while, the pot was heated up.
Bai Wanwan walked over and poured in a bag of white sugar.
The temperature inside the pot slowly rose, melting the white sugar into a thick syrup.
The fruit had already been skewered by her with wooden sticks, each skewer looking particularly beautiful.
The fruit produced by the System was all of excellent quality and taste.
She carried the tray to the side of the pot and said to Xin Feng, "I'll let you try some later, it's delicious."
Smelling the sweet scent, Bai Wanwan thought of the taste of Candied Hawthorns and couldn't help but start salivating.
She immediately took a skewer of strawberries, rolled it in the sugar, and quickly took it out.
After repeating this a few times, over ten skewers of fruit were all coated in sugar, looking crystal clear as they were placed on the plate.
She picked up a strawberry skewer and held it to Xin Feng's lips, "Try it."
Xin Feng never refused her requests; with a gentle look in his eyes, he opened his mouth and bit off the strawberry she fed him.
"Is it good?" she said, while feeding another strawberry into her own mouth.
The sweet and sour taste of the strawberry merged with the sugar, making it especially delicious.
Xin Feng actually didn't like eating fruit-like things much.
"It's good."
Bai Wanwan could easily tell he was just trying to make her happy, so she said with a smile, "Don't force yourself if you don't like it; if you don't eat it, I'll just eat more!"
After speaking, she took a skewer and walked over to Zhu Xiu, who was processing prey.
"Open up."
Zhu Xiu didn't even look up as he ate a hawthorn Candied Hawthorns from her hand.
Before Bai Wanwan could ask, Zhu Xiu spoke first: "Delicious. What fruit is this? I haven't seen it before."
"This is called hawthorn." This world only had wild fruits; there might be some with similar textures, but definitely nothing exactly the same.
Bai Wanwan ate four skewers of Candied Hawthorns in one go; when she walked to the door with the fifth skewer, she looked up and saw a Female who looked quite young standing by the wall, staring at the Candied Hawthorns in her hand and gulping several times.
Bai Wanwan waved the skewer in her hand and smiled at her, "Want to eat?"
But that Female lowered her head, not daring to look at her.
Bai Wanwan noticed that her beast skin was very ragged, her hair was messy, and there were even wounds on her face.
The Female kept her head down, wanting to leave, but she heard footsteps approaching.
Soon, the footsteps stopped in front of her.
She cautiously looked up and saw the Female's face, which was so beautiful it almost made her forget to breathe.
Her cheeks instantly turned rosy, but her gaze was evasive, not daring to look directly at Bai Wanwan's face.
This was the first time Bai Wanwan had seen such a shy Female, and she couldn't help but laugh, "Am I so scary? Why don't you dare look at me?"
Her gaze finally lingered on Bai Wanwan's face, her eyes fixed.
What a beautiful Female!
Bai Wanwan handed her the Candied Hawthorns, "Here."
She smelled the scent that had just made her mouth water, and she couldn't help but reach out her hand to take what was offered.
By the time she snapped out of it, the beautiful Female had already turned and left.
She looked down at the thing in her hand, lifted it to her nose, and sniffed.
So fragrant.
Without even thinking, she took a lick.
Her eyes immediately lit up as if stars were shining in them.
One bite after another, she soon finished the entire skewer of Candied Hawthorns.
By then, it was almost dark; she looked at the door of Bai Wanwan's house.
She immediately turned and ran home, rummaged around, and brought out a piece of Dried meat.
Early the next morning, when Bai Wanwan went out, she saw a piece of air-dried Dried meat at her doorstep.
It was obvious that someone had left it there on purpose.
She turned and looked around, then asked Xin Feng, "Xin Feng, did you see anyone come by?"
"No."
Bai Wanwan thought for a moment, picked up the meat strip and set it aside, then said to Xin Feng: "I'm taking The Cubs out to soak up some sun."
As she spoke, she called out to the several Cubs.
One, two, three...
Four Cubs ran out, but one was missing.
