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

Chapter 469 An Unexplained Feeling of Closeness
After giving birth, Bai Wanwan did not rush to set off.

The beastmen protected her and her cubs with absolute secrecy.

The roles of hunting, guarding, and caring for the cubs are clearly defined.

Until the winter snow melts, the bare branches sprout new buds, and the warm spring breeze begins to blow across the earth.

The animal handlers carefully packed their belongings and placed the baby eggs in specially made baskets lined with warm, soft straw, which were then carried by Xin Feng and Jin Yi in turns.

The group left the cave where they had lived for a long time and which was full of memories, and embarked on the final leg of their journey to the Jiaolong tribe.

They walked and stopped frequently, enjoying the early spring scenery while asking the orcs they encountered for directions to the Jiaolong tribe.

After more than ten days of trekking, the males finally caught a strong scent of the dragon-like beastmen after crossing a mountain ridge covered with jagged rocks.

Xin Feng stood beside Bai Wanwan and whispered to her, "Wanwan, we should be very close. This smell... is a unique scent from the territory of the Jiaolong Clan."

Bai Wanwan remained calm and showed no anxiety or tension about revealing her background.

Because she was originally an outsider.

Just as they were about to step into a natural stone forest formed by huge black reefs, a deliberately hushed but intensely emotional conversation came from deep within the stone forest.

"Shuanghua, you deliberately avoided your clansmen and summoned me here just to say this?" A dignified male voice, seemingly carrying the weight of metal and stone, rang out, its tone filled with obvious displeasure.

Even from a distance and the stone forest, the invisible pressure of a top-tier expert was faintly felt, causing Yan Lie and the others to tense up instantly.

Through the gaps in the stone forest, Bai Wanwan and her beastmen saw two beastmen, one male and one female, facing off.

The male was extremely tall and robust, wearing a dark blue leather armor that looked as if it were woven from dragon scales. His face was resolute and cold, and at this moment his brows were furrowed. He was none other than Jiao Yuan, the chieftain of the Jiaolong tribe!
The aura emanating from him was also at the Crimson Rank!
Moreover, it is even more solid and substantial than the one that Zhu Xiu and the others have just advanced to.

The female standing opposite him was exceptionally beautiful and had a cold, aloof demeanor.

She wore a long, silver-white silk dress, her face filled with helplessness and anxiety, yet she refused to give up: "Everything I said is true! She even admitted it to me! Jiaoyuan, don't be fooled by her seemingly weak and harmless appearance! She's simply..."

"Enough!" Jiao Yuan hissed, his voice not loud, yet carrying a chilling penetrating force, as if the surrounding air had turned colder. "Shuanghua, I've told you many times! In my heart, you are like my younger sister! But if you continue to target Lanyi like this,"

His eyes were sharp as knives, carrying an undeniable warning: "I have no choice but to side with her and protect her from unfounded suspicion and harm!"

"I'm doing this for your own good! Not to target her!" Shuanghua's eyes reddened with anger, her voice trembling slightly with a hint of grievance. "Why can't you understand..."

"I still have many tribal affairs to attend to." Jiao Yuan had clearly lost his patience. He coldly interrupted Shuang Hua and turned to leave.

But after taking a few steps, he stopped again without turning around. His voice was icy, like a final ultimatum: "If anything like this happens again, no matter what you say, I will not listen. You'd better watch yourself."

After saying that, his tall figure disappeared into the depths of the stone forest in a few leaps, and the heavy pressure also went away with him.

"You!" Shuanghua trembled with rage as she watched Jiaoyuan's resolute departure, her pretty face flushed red. Finally, she couldn't help but growl in the direction he disappeared: "You deserved to be fooled! You're a complete idiot!"

She stomped her foot hard, crushing the pebbles beneath her feet, her chest heaving violently, clearly furious.

Bai Wanwan and her group held their breath behind the stone forest.

The conflict just now was incredibly informative; any move they made could expose them. Now that Jiao Yuan has left, and Shuang Hua is facing away from them, consumed by anger, it's the perfect opportunity to slip away quietly.

However, just as they were preparing to bypass the stone forest, a sudden change occurred!

"Roar!" A fierce roar exploded from the mountain forest on the side.

A ferocious cheetah, unusually large in size and with exposed fangs, darted out like a black lightning bolt!
It seemed to be attracted by the scent of frost, its blood-red eyes locked onto the lone female, and with a sudden burst of strength from its limbs, it pounced on the female, bringing with it a foul stench!
Shuanghua's face turned deathly pale instantly, because this conversation involved the wife of Jiaoyuan, Lanyi, and she had deliberately avoided all the guards!
The shadow of death loomed over them in an instant!
Shuanghua's body instincts made her turn and run away, while trying to find cover.

Although her movements were flustered, her eyes revealed an indomitable determination, indicating that she had not been completely defeated by fear.

The males felt a pang of pity at the sight; in the animal kingdom, protecting females is an instinct ingrained in the males' very bones.

But none of them moved; they were all waiting for their females' instructions.

Bai Wanwan stared sharply at the cheetah that was about to pounce on Shuanghua's back, and at the unwavering determination in Shuanghua's eyes that refused to give up even in the face of dire straits.

"Xin Feng, go save her."

"Okay." Xin Feng's figure disappeared from the spot like a ghost.

The next instant, he appeared behind Shuanghua!

"Pfft!"

The ferocious cheetah's massive body suddenly stiffened in mid-air, a fatal line of blood splitting open at its throat. Its heavy body crashed down a few steps away from Shuanghua's feet, and blood instantly stained the ground red.

A foul stench swept over us, but then abruptly stopped.

Shuanghua stopped in shock, panting heavily. She turned around and saw the cheetah's carcass on the ground, Xin Feng standing silently to the side, and Bai Wanwan and her group emerging from behind the stone forest.

Her eyes were filled with relief and heartfelt gratitude for surviving the ordeal.

"Thank you... thank you for saving me!" Shuanghua's voice was still trembling slightly, but she quickly regained the demeanor of a female dragon and solemnly thanked Bai Wanwan and the others.

Taking the opportunity, Bai Wanwan stepped forward, her face displaying just the right amount of gentleness and a hint of bewilderment from being a newcomer: "You're welcome. We can't just stand by and do nothing when we see females in danger."

Bai Wanwan's face was altered using props.

Therefore, Shuanghua did not show any surprise like the male dragon had before.

But... for some reason, there's a sense of closeness.

She thought it might be that the little female had gotten her beastmen to save her, and she was feeling strangely grateful to her.

She stepped forward warmly and affectionately took Bai Wanwan's arm. "Little female, it's so late. You have nowhere to rest. If you don't mind, you can rest at my place."

Bai Wanwan was just wondering how to get into the Jiaolong tribe when this provided her with a ladder.

She immediately put on an "overwhelmed with gratitude" expression: "This... wouldn't this be too much trouble for you? Besides, I have quite a few beast husbands..."
