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

Chapter 330 Gratitude and Fear

The harsh winter continues to rage, and food is becoming increasingly scarce.

Bai Wanwan stood by the window of the stone house, looking at the thick snow outside, her brows furrowed.

Jin Yi has been leaving early and returning late for seven consecutive days.

Although Jin Yi has advanced to become an orange-tier powerhouse, it would still be extremely dangerous if the Bear Clan were to launch a counterattack and use all their strength to besiege and annihilate him.

When she went out for the fifth time in the evening, she finally saw him.

He looked tired and sat quietly on the stone bench, his animal skin coat still covered with unmelted snowflakes.

It seems they intend to process the prey before going inside.

Xin Feng and Yan Lie were cooking and taking care of their child inside the house when she went outside into the wind and snow.

When Jin Yi saw her, he immediately stood up and said worriedly, "Why did you come out? It's windy outside, Wanwan, you should go inside first."

Bai Wanwan walked over to him and pulled him to sit down. "Is there a food shortage?"

“Yes, some orc families don’t even have a single piece of meat left.” Jin Yi didn’t hide anything from her.

"So, how much have you hunted these past few days, going out early and returning late?"

"How many can you hunt each day..."

With so many orcs in the tribe, hunting a few each day is just a drop in the ocean.

Before the rainy season, the bear tribe hindered their hunting efforts, intending to cut off their livelihoods by blocking several paths.

But what they didn't expect was that Jin Yi had also upgraded to an orange-tier powerhouse.

Gently massaging Jin Yi's forehead with his fingers, soothing his fatigue and mood, "Didn't I plant potatoes before? Those can be distributed to everyone, and they can last for a while. Combined with what you usually hunt, they might reduce some deaths caused by hunger."

Jin Yi turned his head, took her hand, and enveloped her slightly cool fingertips in his warm, dry palm.

"The most difficult time hasn't come yet. The males can still hunt some food. Let's wait a little longer."

The food was grown by Wanwan herself. He hasn't given Wanwan anything more yet, so how can he ask her for something to solve the tribe's difficulties?

Bai Wanwan shook her head: "Those potatoes were originally prepared for famine, they'll spoil if left any longer." She paused, her voice soft but firm, "Later, have the beastmen bring them out and distribute them."

The reason we planted potatoes was because we were worried that the bear tribe would cause trouble and the orcs of the Golden Lion tribe would go hungry.

It was also to repay the kindness shown to him by Chief Jin Cang and the debt of gratitude to Jin Yi for risking his life to protect him during the beast tide.

But now, she has to offer help when they need it, which adds something else to her role.

These potatoes are not just food, but also a token of gratitude.

They will leave the Golden Lion Tribe sooner or later, but if the beastmen of the Golden Lion Tribe remember this kindness, her and Jin Yi's child will receive more support when he grows up and takes over the position of tribe leader.

Jin Yi initially wanted to refuse, but Bai Wanwan told him her thoughts.

I sat down next to him, and he held my hand tightly. "I can't finish these potatoes and I can't take them with me. It's best to distribute them to your people now. What do you think?"

Jin Yi gazed at her, his golden eyes appearing exceptionally deep in the snowlight.

"it is good."

He finally nodded, gently stroking the back of her hand with his thumb. "I'll make the arrangements."

Two days later, Jin Yi chose an afternoon without wind or snow to distribute the potatoes.

The long-awaited sunlight shone on the open space in the center of the village.

The clan chief personally ordered that the potatoes in the cellar be carried out basket by basket and piled up into a small mountain.

Jin Yi stood on high ground, his voice steady and powerful: "Each family shall take forty potatoes, roast them in the fire until soft, and feed them to the females and cubs. Use them sparingly, so that we can get through the most difficult time."

Wrapped in a thick fox fur coat, Bai Wanwan stood beside Jin Yi, personally handing potatoes to the orcs in line with him. The orcs' faces showed gratitude; some, having gone hungry for days, even had tears in their eyes, tightly hugging the potatoes and thanking her profusely.

As she was sending messages, Bai Wanwan noticed several orcs with their heads turned away, looking rather furtive.

"and many more!"

Just as the other person was about to leave after receiving the potatoes, Bai Wanwan called out to them.

Turn your head so I can see.

But the male stiffened and dared not move.

"turn around."

She repeated it, her voice not loud, yet it carried an air of authority without anger.

The beastmen lining up to receive potatoes were all grateful for Bai Wanwan's generosity, and her family had played a crucial role in the battle between the Golden Lions and the Bear Clan.

Bai Wanwan and his beastman's reputation in the Golden Lion Tribe soared to unprecedented heights.

Everyone knew very well that they were just hungry, but if it weren't for Bai Wanwan and her beastman, their entire tribe might have been slaughtered by the bear clan.

In the past few days, several males of Bai Wanwan were seriously injured while protecting their tribe, and the story of Bai Wanwan, as a female, personally going out of the city to find her beast mate despite the cold and danger has been widely circulated in the tribe.

Moreover, the young clan leader also became her beast husband.

In the hearts of the beastmen of the Golden Lion Tribe, Bai Wanwan was already comparable to the chieftain and the young chieftain.

As a result, a commotion broke out around them.

"Didn't you hear Bai Wanwan tell you to turn around?"

Under the watchful eyes and urging of countless people, the orcs could not withstand the psychological pressure and could only turn around slowly with their eyes lowered.

When Bai Wanwan saw their faces, she quickly understood why they were acting so suspiciously.

So it turns out he was feeling guilty!
“You lot,” she said, glancing at them indifferently, “put down the potatoes and go find your own food.”

One of the hot-tempered orcs' expressions changed: "Why can they receive it, but we can't?"

Bai Wanwan's lips curled up slightly, but the smile didn't reach her eyes: "Since I grew these potatoes, I don't want to share them with you."

The surroundings fell silent instantly, and everyone's eyes were on them.

The orcs' faces flushed red as they shouted angrily, "You're deliberately targeting us!"

"That's right, it's targeting you." Bai Wanwan sneered. Those who dared to lead the trouble back then should have known they'd be in this situation today.

These are the orcs who almost dug up her potatoes and caused trouble back then.

She almost ruined her potatoes, and now she wants a share of the profits? There's no such thing as a free lunch!
"As for why we're targeting you, don't you know why?" Her voice wasn't loud, but every word was clear.

Upon hearing this, they became even more enraged and began to incite the other orcs: "What right does she, a foreign female, have to decide what our food is? Young Chieftain, you are an orc of the Golden Lion clan, yet you allow her to bully your people like this?"

Bai Wanwan didn't interrupt; she just watched their performance quietly.

Most of the orcs present were unaware of what had happened that day, so they remained silent, but they still believed that Bai Wanwan and the young clan leader would not deliberately oppress their people.

Several orcs kept cursing, trying to steal their potatoes.

"Stop them!"

Jin Yi ordered the orcs to stop them and prevent them from taking a single potato.

Whispers of the beastmen could be heard all around, but Bai Wanwan was not worried at all.

Today, she wants them to be both grateful and fearful!
