Chapter 491 Extermination Operation
His voice suddenly rose, filled with barely suppressed anger and lingering fear.

“It was one assassination attempt after another! If it weren’t for her beast husband’s Crimson-rank talent, even if she had returned to our side, she would have been dead.”

His angry gaze swept over Coral, who was instinctively being protected in the arms of the woman in blue.

Coral was terrified by the unprecedentedly cold look in her father's eyes. She felt wronged and scared, "Father..."

However, this time, Jiao Yuan did not show his usual kind smile, nor did he even glance at her.

His gaze quickly shifted away, his voice as cold and hard as ice: "I am not your father beast. From now on, don't call me that anymore."

Like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, the woman in blue jumped up and hugged Shanhu even tighter, screaming excitedly, "Jiaoyuan, how could you be so heartless? Shanhu was raised by your own hands! For more than ten years, she called you Father Beast, and you were happy and joyful? Now you want to erase all of that with just a few words? Have you even thought about how heartbroken she would be?"

"Heartbroken?" Jiao Yuan seemed to have heard the biggest joke in the world. He turned his head sharply, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the man in blue.

Every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth. "You only care about her being sad? What about your own daughter? Isn't Wanwan sad too? I just said she's being relentlessly assassinated by foreign tribes, her life hanging by a thread! As her biological mother, you don't even ask a single question, but you're worried about her being sad when nothing's wrong?"

Jiao Yuan closed his eyes. He used to think that Lan Yi was his female, and that she had a bit of a temper, which he could tolerate.

But now, she cares nothing for her own female offspring, but is completely preoccupied with another female offspring who is not related to her by blood at all.

"She...she had so many powerful beastmen protecting her, didn't she? Wasn't she...wasn't she rescued?" The man in blue's eyes darted around, his voice growing softer and softer, carrying a hint of self-doubt.

It wasn't that she wasn't worried, but that worry was suffocating her due to immense guilt and a desire to escape.

Bai Wanwan's cold, almost stranger-like gaze made her feel very uncomfortable.

Every time I see her, it's like forcing her to confront the cruel scene of how she abandoned her dying child back then.

Those images were like nightmares, tormenting her day and night, making her want to escape and stay far away.

Seeing her evasive and evasive manner, Jiao Yuan's last glimmer of hope was completely extinguished, leaving only boundless exhaustion and coldness.

He didn't want to say another word. He stood up wearily, his tall figure appearing somewhat hunched: "Nothing you do now can make up for Wanwan in the slightest, so... that's it..."

After saying that, he turned and walked out, his back view resolute.

"Jiaoyuan!"

Blue-clad girl let go of Coral's hand and stumbled to the door, her voice filled with panic and pleading, "You...you're not coming back to stay?"

Jiao Yuan paused, but did not turn around. He simply turned his head to the side, his voice flat and devoid of any emotion: "Yes. Take care of yourself."

After saying that, he didn't linger and strode away.

He couldn't get over that bottomless hurdle in his heart.

His only biological female offspring, whom he had lost and then found again, was abandoned by his most trusted and beloved partner, and had suffered for more than a decade.

Seeing the blue shirt would uncontrollably conjure up images of all the hardships Wanwan might have endured over the years.

She could have enjoyed the best of everything under his protection, without suffering or hardship... His palms clenched into fists without him noticing.

He knew... no matter what the future held, an irreparable chasm had already formed between him and the man in blue, a chasm that could never be crossed.

***

Bai Wanwan had no intention of staying in the Jiaolong tribe for long.

From Zhu Xiu, she obtained more in-depth findings about Lan Yi and Shan Hu. Lan Yi appeared to be manipulated by the chameleon clan, while the female named Shan Hu seemed to be completely oblivious to what was happening, pampered by Lan Yi.

If the woman in blue was just stupid and being used, she could spare her life for the sake of the original owner of this body.

But Bai Wanwan had no intention of letting the chameleon clan go!
She took the initiative to find Jiaoyuan.

When Jiao Yuan heard from his orc subordinates that Bai Wanwan had come to find him, he was so excited that he almost rushed out.

He looked extremely haggard, with stubble on his chin and clear dark circles under his eyes.

Seeing Bai Wanwan standing in the courtyard, his eyes shone with immense joy and a cautious light, his voice trembling almost imperceptibly: "Wanwan! You... what brings you to see Father Beast?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, he realized his mistake and hurriedly changed his tune, adopting an extremely humble posture: "No, what I mean is... you can do whatever you want! Just say it, and Father Beast will... will definitely agree to anything you ask! He'll do whatever it takes to get it done for you, even if it costs him his life!"

Bai Wanwan looked at the once majestic man in front of her, who now appeared humble and haggard.

She spoke calmly, her voice cold and distant: "Chief Jiaoyuan, I've come to see you because I have something to discuss with you."

The words "Chief of Jiaoyuan" were like a bucket of ice water, extinguishing the nascent flame of hope in Jiaoyuan's eyes.

The light in his eyes dimmed quickly, but he forced an awkward smile and nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay! Wanwan, just say it."

"The mastermind behind switching me back then and relentlessly hunting me down is now very clear: it's the Chameleon Clan."

Bai Wanwan's voice was flat, yet carried a chilling killing intent. "Their goal is not just to target me. They want to destroy the Tree of Life, cut off the future of the Flood Dragon Tribe, and cause this super tribe to decline or even perish completely, thus clearing the way for their so-called 'Path to Dragon Transformation'."

During this period, Jiaoyuan had also obtained some clues through interrogating prisoners and conducting investigations, but he did not have as clear and comprehensive information as Bai Wanwan.

A fierce rage ignited in his eyes: "These treacherous and cunning reptiles! How dare they scheme against my Jiaolong tribe like this!"

“So,” Bai Wanwan’s gaze was as cold as ice as she looked straight at Jiao Yuan, “my plan is—an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. I will wipe out the Chameleon Clan and eliminate any future troubles.”

Her tone was calm, yet it carried an undeniable resolve and destructive power.

Without any hesitation, Jiao Yuan nodded emphatically almost immediately, his voice resolute: "Alright! Wanwan, if you want to destroy them, your father beast will help you destroy them! The entire Jiaolong tribe will be your backing!"

He wasn't a naturally bloodthirsty, ambitious male, but at this moment, the rage to avenge his own offspring overwhelmed everything!
Bai Wanwan was not surprised by his reaction and continued to calmly make arrangements: "Then it's settled. I hope that Chief Jiaoyuan can personally select one hundred of the strongest, most loyal, and most experienced male warriors within a day. They will cooperate with my beastmen to carry out this extermination operation."
