The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 248 Restraint
After watching Yan Lie and his older brother leave, Bai Wanwan originally intended to turn around and go back inside, but she caught a glimpse of that familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

Zhu Zheng walked towards this direction.

A smile unconsciously crept onto her lips, and she decided to stand at the door and wait for him.

A gentle breeze dispersed the scorching heat of the sun.

Zhu Xiu also saw Bai Wanwan standing at the door waiting.

His partner was extremely beautiful, especially when she smiled; her eyes curved into crescents, as if filled with starlight.

This image was already deeply etched in his heart, an indelible mark.

As Bai Wanwan saw him approach, she reached out her hand to him, her fingertips gently waving in the air, as if making a silent invitation.

Zhu Xiu took two steps closer and wrapped her soft hand in his palm.

"What are you doing standing here?" he asked in a low voice, with a hint of gentleness that was barely perceptible.

"I saw you're back. I've been waiting for you." She smiled, her tone light and cheerful.

Zhu Xiu didn't say anything, but bent down, put his arm around her, and picked her up horizontally.

Bai Wanwan immediately wrapped her arms around his neck, "Where are you taking me?"

"Go inside and rest for a while."

As they were talking, they bumped into Xin Feng, who was carrying a cub as he came out.

"Who was that male next to Yan Lie just now?" Zhu Xiu asked casually without stopping.

"Yan Lie's elder brother must have come to the Golden Lion Tribe specifically to find him."

Zhu Xiu hummed in agreement and didn't ask any more questions. He stepped aside, walked past Xin Feng, and went straight inside.

He gently placed Bai Wanwan on a low couch covered with soft animal hides, and then squatted down in front of her.

Even so, he was still very tall, and Bai Wanwan still had to tilt her head slightly to meet his gaze.

Thinking of Yan Lie's unrestrained behavior last night, she felt a little guilty and decided to strike first.

She cupped Zhu Xiu's face in her hands, gently stroking his tense jaw with her fingertips, and said with a smile, "I have some good news to tell you."

Zhu Xiu grasped her wrist, but his gaze fell on her swollen lips, where there were still obvious teeth marks.

Further down, her slender neck was covered with red marks, as if she had been marked by a wild beast, which was extremely glaring.

His eyes suddenly darkened, a suppressed storm churning within them.

His hands, hanging by his sides, clenched tightly, his knuckles turning white, and his lips stretched into a cold, hard line.

Bai Wanwan keenly sensed the sudden change in atmosphere; the surrounding air seemed to freeze into ice, chilling to the bone.

She subconsciously pulled her clothes tighter, but the next second, she met Zhu Xiu's bloodshot eyes.

His eyes churned with violence, possessiveness, and a certain almost out-of-control emotion.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she forced herself to speak, trying to make her voice sound natural: "Zhu Xiu, in a few months, I will be able to completely remove the dark curse from you, and you won't have to risk going to find energy stones anymore."

This was undoubtedly great news for Zhu Xiu, but his expression remained cold and unwavering.

He slowly raised his hand, his fingertips tracing the red marks on the side of her neck.

Bai Wanwan's breath hitched as she sensed his surging emotions.

"Does it hurt?"

Zhu Xiu stared at her, the darkness in his eyes growing deeper, like a ferocious beast lurking in the abyss.

Bai Wanwan was extremely grateful that Yan Lie wasn't around.

She quickly smiled and hugged his neck, "It doesn't hurt. What information have you found out these past two days? Tell me about it."

All she can do now is try to distract Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu tried hard to control his emotions, but the bloodthirsty possessiveness of a cold-blooded animal still made it impossible for him to accept it as nothing had happened.

Zhu Xiu remained silent for a long time, seemingly before he could compose himself. “Well, I’ve found some clues. There are too many beastmen in the Golden Lion tribe. I’ll start by investigating the males around the females you’ve had conflicts with. I discovered that more than a dozen females have Yellow-Rank Golden Lions as their beast husbands, and some of them also have beast husbands from other races.”

Suddenly realizing something, Bai Wanwan abruptly asked, "Is Zhuo Ling among them?"

Zhu Xiu nodded. "Yes, she's among these dozen or so females."

Bai Wanwan's intuition told her that those males that day were driven by Zhuo Ling, after all, she had already plotted against her in the Black Dog Tribe.

If it was her...

A sharp light flashed in Bai Wanwan's eyes. She would definitely not let Zhuo Ling get away with this!

“Zhu Xiu, then you should thoroughly investigate her beastly husbands. I suspect it’s her.”

Xin Feng carried in the fruit and placed the stone basin filled with fresh berries on the low table in front of Bai Wanwan.

"Wanwan, have some fruit."

Bai Wanwan smiled at her and said, "Okay."

Xin Feng sat down next to them; he had also heard their conversation.

"If it's Zhuo Ling, Wanwan, what do you plan to do?"

"If it's her, I'll retaliate in kind. She wants my life, and I'll take hers too!"

Bai Wanwan has never been a soft-hearted person; she doesn't like to scheme against others.

But if someone thinks she's easy to bully and tries to take advantage of her, she'll definitely make them feel the pain and teach them a lesson for messing with her.

"it is good."

Xin Fengqing's face remained warm and gentle, yet he responded without hesitation to Bai Wanwan's decision to take Zhuo Ling's life.

If a male like Xin Feng can be ruthless towards females, then Zhu Xiu is even more so.

He felt no guilt whatsoever about dealing with the female who had framed him.

“However… don’t rush, Zhuxiu. Investigate more carefully and see what she’s planning to do next. If she really did it, killing her like this would be too easy for her.”

"Okay, I'll keep an eye on them."

*******
Meanwhile, under the careful care of the clan shaman, Jin Yi's injuries gradually improved.

He wore an animal skin robe, the front of which was slightly open, revealing several hideous scars crisscrossing his muscular chest and abdomen.

Although the wounds had scabbed over, the scars were still shocking, silently telling the story of the brutality of that beast tide.

"Has the beast tide... completely subsided?"

His voice was deep, and his gaze casually drifted out the window.

"Young chieftain, rest assured, the beast tide has long since receded, and the tribe is safe and sound."

The male beside him replied respectfully, "The hunting party has had a bountiful harvest recently, and food reserves are plentiful, so the tribespeople are at ease."

Jin Yi nodded slightly, his expression softening.

After a moment of silence, he asked casually, "What about Bai Wanwan? How has she been lately?"

"Due to the hot weather, female white swans rarely go out and spend most of their time at their dwellings."

Jin Yi's eyes flickered slightly, his fingertips unconsciously stroking the edge of the animal hide. He then ordered, "Go to the basement and get some ice bricks. Take them to her."

Zhuo Ling happened to be walking at the door when she heard these words, and she suddenly stopped in her tracks.

She clenched her fingers, barely maintaining the gentle smile on her face, but jealousy and panic flashed in her eyes.

Jin Yi has not visited her since he returned, nor has he ever sent her any ice bricks.

Why did he order the orcs to send it to Bai Wanwan?

Amidst her turmoil, Jin Yi's cool voice came from inside, "Who's at the door?"
