Chapter 265 Deliberate
Roger stood with his hands behind his back, showing none of the fear and helplessness he felt when he first faced Zhu Xiu.

In those eyes, hatred leaped like flames.

Several males stood around him, staring at him as if he were prey delivered to their doorstep.

Zhu Xiu understood their intentions almost immediately.

"Did you deliberately lure me here for revenge?" he said sarcastically, his gaze sweeping over them as if he didn't consider Roger and the other three males as opponents at all.

Roger's lips curled into a smile. "Since you're here, then leave your life behind. Bai Wanwan... I'll take care of her for you."

Upon hearing Roger mention Bai Wanwan, the mockery in Zhu Xiu's eyes vanished instantly, replaced by frost.

"Just you?"

"Yes! Me!" Roger's smile vanished, his tone turning icy cold. "This time, it's my turn to take your life!"

Zhu Xiu stood firmly, his gaze sweeping over the several males. "Is that so? I can take your life once, and I can take it a second time!"

"You think I'll be killed by you so easily?" Roger chuckled and waved his hand. The other three males beside him quickly transformed into beast forms and surrounded him.

A powerful energy surge suddenly erupted from them.

This fluctuation... is extremely familiar to Zhu Xiu.

His gaze gradually turned serious as he watched the approaching orcs.

The aura emanating from them was the fluctuation of energy stones.

"You devoured the energy stone?"

“That’s right, the energy stone gives us powerful energy.” Roger didn’t hide it.

Zhu Xiu noticed that a black mist was emanating from the orcs who attacked him.

The reason he was able to swallow energy stones was because he was under a dark curse and knew a special method to neutralize the damage the energy stones caused to his body.

If the energy stones cannot be neutralized, they will accumulate in the body and eventually cause the body to explode and lead to death.

In the blink of an eye, the three-headed male beast appeared in front of him.

A red fox pounced on him first.

In an instant, Zhu Xiu transformed into human form, and the moment his enormous body appeared, his long tail swept towards the red fox.

Despite having the same Yellow-Rank talent, the Red Fox and the King Cobra are vastly different in size, making a one-on-one fight impossible.

It can only use its innate power; the fox clan's natural charm can slow down the opponent's movements.

After unleashing its innate power, the red fox did not linger in the fight and quickly retreated.

The bear-like beast had already closed in, swinging its massive claws as if to tear the snake's body in two...

The festive atmosphere of the harvest festival was still going strong. Bai Wanwan was humming a song as she pondered what to eat in the kitchen.

Shihua came out from the inner courtyard, putting the baby down on the ground as she said to her:

"Sister, I'm going to the river to wash things. Leave the kids at your place for now, I'll be right back."

She tapped the heads of the two little black dogs and said, "The mother is going out for a while. You two must behave well."

Bai Wanwan immediately stopped cutting the meat and asked with bright eyes, "Go wash things? That's perfect, I haven't fished for shrimp in a long time, I'll go with you."

What can you do in the Beast World? Just find things to do to kill time.

"Sister, are you going too? Okay, then we'll bring the baby along."

Without further ado, Bai Wanwan immediately washed her hands and said to Shi Hua, "Wait for me, we'll be leaving soon."

As she spoke, she walked to the door and called out to Yan Lie, who was walking his cub outside, "Yan Lie! Let's go to the river to catch fish and shrimp."

Hearing her call, Yan Lie, holding the snake cub in his arms, called the wolf cub and the cat cub into the house.

After bringing the children in, his gaze fell on her, and he hesitated for a moment, "Now?"

Shi Hua noticed his worry and immediately said, "These past few days have been the harvest festival, and there have been quite a few foreign beastmen coming and going. The tribe has arranged for many males to patrol inside and outside the tribe, and many females can come and go freely, so it's very safe."

Yan Lie was still somewhat worried after what happened last time. Bai Wanwan noticed this and offered, "Let's go check the entrance to the tribe. If there are a lot of orcs outside, we'll go. If it's not safe, we won't go."

After what happened last time, Bai Wanwan became more cautious, prioritizing safety above all else.

But one shouldn't be so afraid of a rope after being bitten by a snake once. One can't lock oneself in a stone house for the rest of one's life, being watched by one's beastly husband every day, and never going anywhere.

Just thinking about those days is suffocating.

Yan Lie reluctantly agreed.

Shihua walked ahead, carrying her two cubs.

There were too many white cubs, and they all clamored for her to hold them, so she had to keep switching between them.

When they arrived at the tribe's gate, it was wide open, and there were quite a few orcs coming and going.

Looking further out, there were also many orcs in the distance, both male and female.

Shi Hua smiled and turned her head to look at Yan Lie, "I didn't lie to you, did I? It's been lively these past few days, there are crowds everywhere, so don't be afraid."

Seeing this, Bai Wanwan relaxed and said, "Okay, let's go catch some fish and shrimp."

There were indeed many orcs outside. Yan Lie did not refute this, but he remained vigilant about his surroundings.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, laughter came from the riverbank.

Bai Wanwan parted the grass, revealing a shallow river where males and females were gathered together.

They either washed clothes in the water or sat on the shore chatting.

The woods are already cool, and soaking in the water is even more comfortable.

"Let's go, let's go down and soak in the water."

Bai Wanwan, holding the baby, called to Shihua to come down with her.

She is now considered a female in the Golden Lion tribe, and she attracted the attention of the beastmen as soon as she appeared.

But they only looked at her with curious eyes. Only a few females would smile and greet her, while most just whispered among themselves and glanced at her from time to time.

Seeing her happy, Yan Lie's mood also improved.

"Sweetie, shall we go for a dip in the river?"

Ow...

Meow……

The little snake could only hiss and flick its tongue.

They all stretched out their bodies, trying to get into the river.

"Alright, alright, we'll go down now." Bai Wanwan deliberately put on a stern face and warned them, "You'll play right next to the female mother, and you can't leave, understand?"

The cool river water receded, instantly dispelling the sweltering heat of the summer.

Yan Lie also went into the water to help look after the cubs.

Even with Bai Wanwan's warning, what kid at this age wouldn't be naughty?

Yan Lie was so busy that he was constantly on his feet, keeping an eye out for any of his cubs that might be missing.

While taking care of the cub, Bai Wanwan casually scooped up some fish and shrimp and brought them ashore.

In no time, a whole basin of them had been scooped up.

Looking at her bountiful harvest, Bai Wanwan smiled and said to Shihua, "We can grill prawns tonight too."

The shrimp in this river were several times larger than the shrimp she caught in the cat tribe; one was almost as long as a hand.

Just as they were having a great time, Shi Hua suddenly nudged Bai Wanwan with her elbow.

Bai Wanwan's smile hadn't faded when she turned to look at her: "What's wrong?"
