Chapter 450 How happy they must be!
Outside, fine snowflakes, like silent whispers, quietly covered the quiet mountain forest.

The arrival of the first snow officially heralds the beginning of the long snow season.

Inside the cave, the warm fire pit dispelled the chill, but Bai Wanwan's heart was heavy.

Her cubs huddled together in their nest lined with thick hay. Their fur was much thicker than when they were born, and their bellies were getting rounder, which meant that their appetite was growing at an astonishing rate.

Jiaoyin's figure flashed past the cave entrance. When Bai Wanwan chased after him, she saw his back as he turned to leave.

"Jiaoyin, everyone's back. Take a rest for a while."

Bai Wanwan stepped forward and forcibly pulled him to sit down, saying, "Have some hot water."

He handed the stone cup to him and gestured for him to drink.

Looking into the female's beautiful eyes, Jiaoyin couldn't bring himself to refuse, so he took the water glass and drank it all in one gulp.

On the ground were several snow rabbits he had just hunted, still carrying the chill of the ground.

"Wanwan, I need to go out while it's still early."

They were newcomers and had no food reserves.

For the orcs, everyone would tighten their belts throughout the snowy season because they had helped the lynx tribe, and the chieftain had sent them a few prey. But for the males with their enormous appetites, that was just a drop in the ocean.

Bai Wanwan knew that he went out hunting almost non-stop, just to stockpile as much food as possible for his small family before the harsh winter.

“You…” Her eyes were filled with guilt, but the children really needed a lot of food.

In the end, he could only helplessly say, "Thank you, Jiaoyin."

Jiaoyin shook her head firmly, "Wanwan, you've helped me a lot, there's no need to thank me. Go back quickly, it's cold outside, I'll be back soon."

After saying that, he walked out, but after walking a short distance, he turned back to look at her with some unease.

"Go inside, it's cold outside."

He gave her his instructions, and only left after she closed the door.

Inside the house, Hua Han was also taking meticulous care of the cubs.

Hua Han and Jiao Yin... they are not her beastly husbands.

She couldn't take their meticulous care for granted.

Therefore, every day when the first ray of light struggled to seep into the cave through the snow, she forced herself to get up.

Gone was her usual laziness and lingering in bed. She deftly tidied the animal skin bedding, woke the cubs one by one, and fed their chattering little mouths with warm minced meat.

Seeing the prey that Jiaoyin had brought back in the corner, with ice crystals still clinging to its fur, she picked up a stone knife and tried to skin it.

"Wanwan!"

Hua Han's clear voice always carried a kind of vitality. He had just returned from fetching water outside, and water droplets still clung to the cold stone jar.

Upon seeing Bai Wanwan's movements, he immediately put down the stone jar, strode over in a few large steps, and snatched the stone knife from her hand without saying a word, his movements as fast as the wind.

"I'll take care of these rough jobs." His captivating peach blossom eyes shimmered with a gentle light.

"I'm just doing what I can; I can't expect you to do everything."

"Why not?" Hua Han said matter-of-factly. "We are males, it is our duty to take care of females. Go inside and rest, don't get cold."

As he spoke, he wrapped her body in animal skin and pushed her into the house.

But once inside, he couldn't bear to pull his arm away from hers. He couldn't help but long for the day when he could openly embrace her.

The cubs smelled their mother's scent and immediately gathered around her, whimpering softly.

Bai Wanwan had no choice but to sit down, hold her babies, and tell them stories to lull them to sleep.

Hua Han stood at the door, reluctant to leave. If the cub in Wanwan's arms wasn't a tiger cub, but a fox cub born to him and Wanwan.

How happy must he be in his life?

With this kind of hope in mind, he worked with even more enthusiasm.

I seemed to be in a great mood all afternoon.

However, when he returned after processing the game and gathering firewood, his good mood was instantly frozen.

Not far away, a tall male stood at their door, showing Bai Wanwan some kind of shiny mineral.

“Beautiful white crescent-shaped female,” he said, his voice deliberately low and magnetic, “you only have two animal husbands. In this harsh snowy season, it may be difficult for them to take care of you and so many adorable cubs. Please allow me to join your family and use my strength and loyalty to share your burdens and ensure you receive more comprehensive care.”

His gaze was intense, filled with undisguised admiration and ambition.

Hua Han felt an inexplicable anger surge up to the top of her head!

He tried his best but still couldn't truly get into Wanwan's heart. How dare this guy, who appeared out of nowhere, so blatantly covet her?

He let out a barely audible groan from his chest, like a ferocious beast whose territory had been invaded, his eyes filled with murderous intent.

But soon, he took a deep breath of the cold air, suppressed his turbulent emotions, and instantly put on an excessively bright smile as he strode over.

"The roads are slippery with snow, what brings this male to our house?" Hua Han enthusiastically "coincidentally" stepped between the two, his tall figure forming a barrier.

While pretending to be familiar with the other person by patting the snowflakes off their shoulder, he began to launch into a long-winded inquiry about their situation, snow season supplies, and even dangled in legends about some distant mountain range, speaking so fast that the male couldn't get a word in edgewise.

Bai Wanwan watched Hua Han's exaggerated performance, a faint smile flashing in her eyes.

While the male was distracted and embarrassed by Hua Han's advances, she nodded slightly, her voice clear yet distant: "Thank you for your kindness, but my family doesn't need a new member for the time being. The snowy road is difficult to travel, please go back."

His tone was gentle, yet carried an undeniable decisiveness.

The male looked disappointed. "Female, please reconsider. I really like you."

"Thank you, but I don't need it."

The male had no choice but to leave sheepishly, but kept turning back to look at the female again and again.

But Hua Han's tall figure completely blocked Bai Wanwan's view, so he couldn't see anything.

Once the annoying male finally disappeared, Hua Han immediately moved closer to Bai Wanwan, her amber eyes sparkling with a hint of self-satisfaction and probing: "Wanwan, these guys are really annoying. Next time any of them come along, I'll just chase them away for you, so you don't have to waste your breath, okay?"

Bai Wanwan looked at his fox-like eyes that were darting around, chuckled softly, and nodded obediently, "Okay, thank you."

With her approval, Hua Han's smile stretched almost to her ears.

From then on, driving away Bai Wanwan's suitors became Hua Han's most enjoyable task.

Whenever a male approaches, he acts like the most loyal guard, driving those with ill intentions out of Bai Wanwan's sight and not giving them the slightest chance.

He had to defend his territory; if he hadn't even gotten a bite, no one else could possibly take a single bite.
