Chapter 301 Intelligence was crushed

Zhu Xiu's reaction was very obvious, and Jin Yi noticed it, his fingers curling slightly.

Zhu Xiu was overthinking things; he had no intention of competing with them for favor.

"The chieftain instructed that the goods have been delivered, so I'll head back now."

After saying that, he didn't look at Zhu Xiu or Bai Wanwan next to him again, and turned to leave.

The two accompanying males immediately followed.

After everyone disappeared outside the stone house, Zhu Xiu turned to look at Bai Wanwan, "Still looking?"

Bai Wanwan grabbed his arm, smiled, and said, "Then I'll watch you!"

I thought I had angered the jealous king and would need a lot of appeasement.

Surprisingly, Zhu Xiu didn't seem so angry today.

He raised his hand and stroked her hairline. "If you want to take him as your beast husband, I won't stop you."

Bai Wanwan's heart skipped a beat; her first reaction was not one of relief.

It was more of a strange feeling.

Is Zhu Xiu trying to trick me?

If she actually admits it, this male will probably immediately try to get revenge on her.

"No rush, there are still a few months, take your time to think it over."

After Zhu Xiu helped her sit down, he said, "I'll go deal with the prey. You play with the cubs for a while."

Zhu Xiu remained calm throughout, except when facing Jin Yi, where he showed a slight edge, but even then it was different from usual.

Feeling strange, she couldn't help but ask herself the same question.

Do you like Jin Yi?
Jin Yi is outstanding in every way, especially during the beast tide, when they spent several days together.

She might have some feelings for Jin Yi, otherwise she wouldn't have impulsively teased him in the cellar just now.

But it's not to the point where I absolutely have to have him.

At least for now, if Zhu Xiu, Xin Feng, and Yan Lie refuse to accept it, she won't go against them and insist that Jin Yi become her beast husband.

Moreover... she remembered that the biggest reason Jin Yi didn't become a couple with Zhuo Ling was that Jin Yi didn't want to share females with other males.

So... even if they have feelings for each other, they don't necessarily have to be together.

This wasn't something that bothered her. After these thoughts flashed through her mind, she was drawn to the wolf cub gently nibbling at her finger.

As soon as Zhu Xiu stepped out of the room, he saw Xin Feng standing to the side.

He glanced at him sideways. "Were you just testing whether Wanwan liked the young clan leader?"

Zhu Xiu's crimson eyes flickered for a moment. "It's not a test."

"Ok?"

Compared to Yan Lie, Xin Feng and Zhu Xiu have known each other for a longer period of time.

They had been through thick and thin together and knew Zhu Xiu's temperament very well.

None of those words sounded like something Zhu Xiu would say.

Zhu Xiu walked to the stove, picked up the stone cup, took a sip of water, and then slowly turned around.

"I've been thinking about something lately: is it better to keep my possessiveness and put Wanwan in danger, potentially losing her in the future, or..."

The stone cup landed heavily on the stove, signifying, "Accept a trustworthy and strong person to protect her."

"So... you've thought it through?" A dark light also appeared in Xin Feng's gentle eyes.

"Well, I've thought it through."

Zhu Xiu took a light breath, "Wanwan is hiding too many secrets. If they are exposed, we will face the siege of countless super tribes."

In the humid air, the two males silently gazed at each other, each seeing the same struggle and determination in the other's eyes.

*******
The rain has been falling for seven days straight.

The rain outside the cave was like a gray curtain, enveloping the entire tribe in a damp silence.

Fine water droplets seeped from the walls of the stone house, and the white, curved-stitched mattress always carried a lingering dampness.

She tried countless times to exchange for a modern heater, but in the end, she only lit the firewood.

"Are the bear-like beastmen crazy?" Yan Lie shook the water droplets off his hair, his action of skinning a rabbit seeming to vent his anger. "They're still lying in ambush in the forest in this weather." Bai Wanwan paused in the bone needle in her hand.

As Shi Hua carefully sewed the leather skirt, she whispered to Bai Wanwan, "Aren't they afraid of starving to death during the snowy season?"

Bai Wanwan frowned as well, "Yes, the bear-like beastmen don't have to go through the snow season?"

Yan Lie peeled off the rabbit's skin with one paw. "The bear clan is cold-resistant and can still go out hunting during the snow season."

Shihua muttered softly, "Sister, I have a feeling this snow season is going to be unsettling."

Bai Wanwan raised her hand and patted the back of her hand, "Don't think too much. If it really comes, we'll figure out a way."

Bai Wanwan also harbored such concerns in her heart.

Her thinking was even more straightforward: if the Bear Clan's goal was to destroy the Golden Lion Tribe, then she would do her best to help Chief Jin Cang deal with the Bear Clan.

But if she can't win, she still has a way out: she can simply leave the Golden Lion Tribe with her beastmen cubs and the Stone Flower family.

Shihua worked for a while before her beast husband called her away.

After Bai Wanwan finished the last few stitches, she saw that the beastmen had also finished their tasks for the day.

During the rainy and snowy seasons, we have to stay at home.

They can't just sit there staring at each other all day; they need to find something to do.

She rummaged through the panel and actually found something good.

Mahjong!

This thing is perfect for killing time.

Bai Wanwan stood up with great interest. "Zhu Xiu, Xin Feng, Yan Lie, come with me for a moment."

Yan Lie was the most enthusiastic; as soon as Bai Wanwan called out, he immediately followed her inside.

Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng entered side by side.

Before she could even speak, she saw Bai Wanwan set up a table with some strange-looking "stones" on it.
"I'm stuck at home all day with nothing to do, so come over and play cards with me."

"play cards?"

“Yes, mahjong.” The mahjong tiles slipped through her fingers, making a crisp clinking sound. “It’s a game I play in my hometown to pass the time. It’s a lot of fun.”

Zhu Xiu sat down at the table, picked up an "80,000" coin, and ran his fingertip along the groove.

"A game from your hometown?" His tone clearly showed interest.

All three males wanted to know more about her.

Yan Lie picked up the mahjong tiles and stacked them high. "How do you play this?"

"I'll explain the rules to you in a bit. Xin Feng, please sit down first."

Xin Feng readily agreed and listened as Bai Wanwan explained the rules word by word.

"Did you understand? It's a bit complicated, let me explain it to you again."

"No need, Wanwan, we understand."

Yan Lie immediately repeated it to her.

Bai Wanwan was surprised. Besides having strong natural abilities, are males also so smart?

"Zhu Xiu, Xin Feng, did you understand?"

Xin Feng smiled, "Well, I'm not sure if I understand correctly, but we can try it out once first."

"Okay, let's play once first. If you don't understand anything, I'll explain it to you as we play."

"We won!" Zhu Xiu said calmly, easily winning the game.

Bai Wanwan thought it was a newbie protection, and then Xin Feng won the second game.

Yan Lie won the third game again.

Bai Wanwan felt that her intelligence had been completely outmatched.

They're clearly beginners, so why can't she beat them?

The sound of mahjong tiles clashing was particularly crisp in the stone cave.

Xin Fengdi picked up the eight of bamboo that Yan Lie had played, and said with a smile, "I won again!"
