Chapter 502 Departure
“Go ahead,” Bai Wanwan interrupted her near-collapse screams without any politeness, a cold and mocking smile curving her lips, but the smile did not reach her eyes.

Her gaze was sharp as an ice pick, piercing the deepest fear and hypocrisy in the blue-clothed man's heart. "Go and tell him now, and see if he believes you, this 'wife' who is full of lies, colludes with foreign tribes, and can even cruelly kill her own female offspring, or me, this female offspring who can awaken the life tree of the Jiaolong clan and whose body flows with his indisputable Jiaoyuan bloodline!"

This body truly belongs to the original owner. The resonance and radiance of the Tree of Life that day were a miracle witnessed by all the dragon clan members, an irrefutable piece of evidence more powerful than any bloodline connection!

Bai Wanwan standing there was the most powerful denial of all the accusations made by the man in blue.

Any struggle or defense by the man in blue will only be futile and self-humiliating in the face of such overwhelming evidence.

But the man in blue, on the verge of despair, had lost his mind, like a drowning man grasping at a last straw.

She screamed desperately towards Jiaoyuan, her voice distorted and cracking with extreme agitation: "Jiaoyuan! Did you hear that? She admitted it herself! She's not my bastard, Jiaoyuan! You have to believe me this time!"

She was in tears, and the carefully maintained image she had cultivated was completely destroyed.

When Jiao Yuan heard that she not only showed no remorse at this point, but also used such absurd reasons to slander and harm his recently recovered female cub in front of everyone, his face instantly became extremely solemn.

His broad chest heaved slightly with anger, and the last trace of complex emotion in his eyes completely transformed into disgust and disappointment.

"Enough! Blue Robe!" His voice boomed like thunder, carrying undeniable authority and deep weariness. "You've wronged Wanwan far too much! You've never fulfilled your responsibilities as a mother, even letting her suffer alone on the streets. Now, instead of repenting, you're going to use such ridiculous lies to chill her heart? What is your heart made of?"

The woman in blue shook her head frantically, pointing impatiently at Bai Wanwan, "She said it herself! She said it herself, 'I'm not your bastard,' she admitted it herself! So it's definitely not true! You have to believe me!"

She tried to use logic to defend her faltering accusations.

At that moment, Bai Wanwan had already silently changed her expression the instant Jiao Yuan looked over.

The cold mockery on her face faded, replaced by a cold indifference that suppressed her pain. But in her clear eyes, a thin layer of moisture welled up just right, as if she had suffered a great injustice but stubbornly refused to let the tears fall.

She turned her head slightly, seemingly unable to bear watching the ugly state of the woman in blue any longer. Her voice carried a desperate calm born of deep hurt as she continued the conversation:

"Yes, I said so."

She spoke each word softly, yet clearly, "I am not your 'biological' offspring, at least not emotionally! I will never acknowledge a mother like you. My mother would never be a selfish and cold-blooded woman like you, willing to sacrifice and exploit even her own flesh and blood for her own sake! I do not have a mother like you!"

Her words cleverly shifted the focus.

To Jiao Yuan and all his clansmen, this was a resolute declaration from a female cub, heartbroken by her own mother, to sever all blood ties in extreme grief and indignation!

This is more impactful than a direct denial, and more likely to provoke Jiaoyuan's guilt and anger.

Sure enough, Bai Wanwan's words struck Jiao Yuan like a heavy hammer, making his face even more ashen, revealing an undisguised sense of guilt and heartache.

Without the slightest hesitation, he abruptly pointed at the woman in blue, his voice icy cold, and ordered the guards beside him: "Take her away! Lock her in the forbidden cave! No one is allowed to visit her without my order!"

"No! Jiaoyuan! Believe me! She really said it herself! She's not my female offspring!" The woman in blue struggled violently as the guards roughly grabbed her arms, her hair disheveled. "And! And! If I were her mother, why don't I feel any affection for her? This isn't right! Think about it, Jiaoyuan!"

Bai Wanwan watched her madness quietly. She was right; the shell was still there, but the core had already been replaced.

It must be said that a beast's instinct can sometimes be terrifyingly accurate.

However, to Jiao Yuan, these words were utterly absurd and even more heinous!
"You haven't cared for her for a single day, haven't given her a shred of warmth, and instead, you've schemed against and hurt her at every turn! Why should she be close to you? And what right do you have to expect her to be close to you? Blue Robe, if you still want to retain the last shred of dignity in the Jiaolong Tribe and eke out a living, shut your mouth immediately. Don't utter another word that hurts Wanwan! Otherwise, what awaits you won't just be confinement!"

Lan Yi understood Jiao Yuan. Seeing the undisguised determination in his eyes, she knew he was truly enraged this time, and there was no turning back.

A tremendous mix of resentment, bitterness, fear, and anger surged within her, threatening to tear her apart.

But when she looked into Jiao Yuan's cold and ruthless eyes, all the rebuttals and cries that were on the tip of her tongue were forcibly swallowed back.

She bit her lip hard, even as blood seeped from it, but dared not utter another sound, fearing that if she said another word, she would be immediately expelled from the Jiaolong tribe and lose her last refuge.

Bai Wanwan stood quietly in place, the warm breeze ruffling the stray hairs on her forehead.

She watched indifferently as the man in blue was dragged away like a stray dog.

Let those belated pains and fears be a lament for the female who has long since vanished from this world.

After the man in blue was taken away, Jiao Yuan personally interrogated the chameleon males and finally learned from them that their clan's secret technique allowed two orcs to exchange blood and energy.

Whether it's Coral or them, they all infiltrated by using the blood of the orcs of the Jiaolong clan to conceal their true nature.

Jiaoyuan was furious. "Continue the investigation! We must find all the chameleon clan beastmen who have infiltrated our tribe!"

The atmosphere among the dragon clan suddenly became very tense.

But all of this will have nothing to do with Bai Wanwan; they have already packed their bags and are ready to return home.

Jiaoyuan personally escorted them to the wide plains outside the tribe, his eyes filled with reluctance.

He crouched down and lovingly stroked the tiger cubs and phoenixes that were rubbing against his feet.

"Wanwan, really... can't you stay?" Jiaoyuan's voice carried a hint of pleading.

The female cub he had just found was about to embark on another long journey.

Bai Wanwan could feel his genuine love and reluctance to part, but unfortunately, she was not his true female offspring, and her home was not here.
