Deep affection knows no origin; remember the polar bear's love for you.

Chapter 184 Now that we're friends
The humpback whale carcasses washed ashore were visited by polar bears continuously, and in just one day and one night, nearly a third of them disappeared.

Soon it will lose its buoyancy and sink into the water.

By then, polar bears will only be able to dive into the sea to scavenge for scraps.

Hertz drove away all the polar bears as soon as he arrived.

Male bears, female bears, and half-grown bears were all driven aside, forced to watch helplessly as the bully triumphantly climbed up the rocks to the top of the whale carcass.

The fat on top had been almost completely eaten by yesterday's bear, and the skin and flesh had been stripped away, revealing the grim skeleton.

He Dian scratched at the bits of meat hanging on its fur with its paws, its eyes flashing with displeasure, and its mood instantly soured.

He roared at the bears that had been surrounding him and refused to leave, and began to show off his power without restraint.

Slok and Little River also came today, sitting behind the bears and whispering to Little River:
"He can't beat Caesar."

Xiaohe asked, rather surprised:

"How do you know? He looks about as strong as Caesar. Did they fight?"

Slok proudly held his head high, as if he himself had defeated the bully bear, and said with pride:

"Yes, Caesar could beat him so badly he wouldn't dare turn his head back!"

Xiaohe took a deep breath, his eyes filled with envy. Putting aside Caesar's wicked nature, what male bear... no, what bear wouldn't want to be as strong and good at fighting as him?
Hedgeon, having failed to get the best food, took his anger out on the surrounding bears. Not only did he chase them aside, he wanted to chase them even further away!
They were all bears after all, and some polar bears were not convinced and wanted to fight him, but they were quickly driven away by claws and bites.

He Dian, one bear against five, circled around majestically, as if surveying his territory, until a pair of round ears suddenly appeared behind the pack of bears!
When He Dian smelled that scent, he felt a chill run down his spine. The polar bears, which were huddled together, began to scatter to the side, revealing the giant balls of fur behind them.

Equally infamous, Guo Mi now receives the same treatment as Caesar in the Bear Clan.

The moment He Dian saw Guo Mi, his vision blurred. His previous smugness vanished completely. With his head half-lowered, he gritted his teeth and asked Guo Mi:

"Why are you here?"

Guo Mi emerged from the pack of bears with her cub and gave him a puzzled look:
"I'm here to eat."

He Dian was speechless for a moment. Of course he knew she had come to eat, but when he looked down he saw the two little cubs at Guo Mi's feet.

Each of them held their head high, chest puffed out and head held high, completely oblivious to their surroundings, practically a carbon copy of Guo Mi.

She's probably the first female bear with cubs to appear so openly in a male bear gathering area.

Guo Mi ignored He Dian and led the little bear straight toward the humpback whale carcass.

The other bears held their breath, watching the scene unfold before them.

Although Guo Mi was infamous, most of the bears that had been bullied by her were relatively mild-mannered.

He Dian, a male bear, is clearly not in that category. Guo Mi's current behavior is tantamount to provoking him. Everyone is waiting for the moment when the conflict begins!
Seeing that Guo Mi was ignoring him, He Dian was dumbfounded.

Although he didn't want to get into a conflict with her, it was too embarrassing for the bears that she ignored him like that in front of so many bears!

He Dian gritted his teeth, glanced at the bears watching the commotion around him, his eyes flashing with ferocity. It seemed that this fight was inevitable!
He ran two steps toward Guo Mi, raised his paw high, and was about to strike when Guo Mi suddenly turned around!

He Dian froze, unsure whether to strike down with his raised paw or lower it, and stood there awkwardly in that position!

Guo Mi's gaze fell on his hand, which was hovering in mid-air, and she looked at him with a half-smile:

"Do you want to fight me?" He Dian felt a chill run down his spine, his eyes darting around, and then he heard Guo Mi say:

"It's a pity we're not friends, otherwise we could share the food together."

Hercules, distracted, "naturally" lowered its paw and snorted coldly as before:

"I hate brown bears the most, and I would never be friends with a brown bear!"

Before he finished speaking, the bears made another rustling sound. Looking over again, the bears that had been sitting in twos and threes had cleared a large open space, and a male bear of similar size to himself stood in the center of the clearing.

It's Caesar.

Guo Mi's eyes darkened instantly, and she quickly looked away.

Hertz's attention shifted, and he was no longer as relaxed as before. He approached Caesar, leaning forward, already in a stance ready to attack.

Bears often fight, and one defeat doesn't mean anything. Rather than saying that Hercule isn't afraid of clashing with Caesar, it's more accurate to say that he's looking forward to this fight.

He wants to wash away his past shame!

Caesar hadn't expected to encounter him here. Even though his heart and eyes were filled with Guo Mi, his body's instincts had already compelled him to also adopt an attack stance towards He Dian.

The two male bears faced each other, waiting for a moment to start their battle!
Guo Mi didn't want to get involved or be interested, and prepared to take the little bear to enjoy that big meal.

As soon as she moved, Caesar's gaze involuntarily followed her.

He Dian quickly realized that the male bear opposite him wasn't actually paying attention to him. He turned around thoughtfully and saw only Guo Mi's round back. A look of understanding flashed in his eyes.

A polar bear, a brown bear...

To be honest, this wasn't the first time he'd seen one, but he'd mostly seen male brown bears before; this was the first time he'd ever seen one like this.

But that didn't stop him from annoying the male bear in front of him.

He Dian's eyes were filled with a cunning smile, and even his desire to avenge his previous humiliation had faded considerably; all he could think about was watching the show.

The naive Caesar had no idea what the bear in front of him was thinking. He only saw the bear suddenly take two steps back, instantly dispelling the tense atmosphere, and then turn around and swagger towards Guo Mi.

"Hey!"

He jogged a couple of steps to catch up with Guo Mi.

Guo Mi looked back at him with a puzzled expression.

The bear with the missing ear wore a wicked grin, its shrunken pupils gleaming with ill intent.

"Although I hate brown bears the most, you are different from those brown bears, so maybe we can still be friends."

Guo Mi raised an eyebrow, signaling him to continue.

He Dian turned around, gave Caesar a provocative look, deliberately took a step forward, and moved closer to Guo Mi, whispering something in her ear:
"Now that we're friends, of course we can share food. But if another bear tries to steal our prey, shouldn't we work together to drive it away?"
