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

Chapter 503 Parting ways
"Father, my home is on another continent, where my beast husband and cubs live." Her tone was gentle yet firm.

Jiaoyuan knew he couldn't keep this female cub who hadn't grown up by his side.

He turned his reluctant gaze to the males beside her, "You must take good care of Wanwan. If you bully Wanwan, I will bring my dragon clan warriors to settle the score with you!"

Yin Ze understood his feelings as a father beast and nodded, "Don't worry, we will protect Wanwan and the cubs with our lives."

The other beastmen didn't say much, but the way they stood protectively beside Wanwan clearly gave the answer.

Jiao Yuan looked at these powerful young men who were deeply devoted to their daughters, and a trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

He sighed, knowing he couldn't force him to stay: "Alright, Father Beast understands. Next time you come back, stay a little longer. Father Beast will be waiting for you."

"Yes! If I have the chance next time, I will bring them to see you."

"Good! Good!" Jiao Yuan smiled kindly like an old father, but his eyes were reddening.

Shuanghua, standing next to Bai Wanwan, looked at him and turned her head to the side.

Bai Wanwan understood his feelings, but all she wanted to do now was go home as soon as possible to see the chieftain and her children.

"Father, we're leaving now."

"Wait, bend!"

"Anything else?"

"The father beast was worried about you traveling so far, and since Ember Shadow was also going back, he asked him to travel with you so that you could look after each other on the way."

As soon as she said this, several males around Bai Wanwan frowned simultaneously.

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to refuse, she saw Jin Ying's figure appear behind Jiao Yuan.

Uncle Yuan,

When Jiao Yuan saw him, he smiled broadly and patted him on the shoulder, "I've been waiting for you! Take good care of Wanwan for me."

"Don't worry, Uncle Yuan."

Under the gazes of several males, Ember Shadow answered calmly.

Bai Wanwan looked at him and said, "Jinying, if you're busy, you don't need to come with us. My beastmen will protect me."

"No rush. I promised Uncle Yuan that traveling with you is on the way."

Since he had already said that, Bai Wanwan really couldn't refuse him anymore.

After all, the other party didn't reveal any intentions towards him; they were just going back together on the way.

"Father, let's set off."

Bai Wanwan waved to him, while Jiao Yuan's tears welled up in his eyes.

"Okay, be careful on your journey. Wanwan, you promised your father you would come back."

Bai Wanwan paused slightly, turned to look at him, her eyes clear and serious: "Well, but if you are ever deceived or softened by that female again, Father Beast, then I really won't come back."

Jiao Yuan's heart tightened, and he immediately assured him firmly, "Father knows! I will never be deceived by her again! Father is waiting for you to come back!"

He would never allow anyone to destroy the trust and affection his daughter had so painstakingly given him.

Besides, the blue-clad figure... had already completely disillusioned him.

Bai Wanwan then smiled again, "Okay, Father Beast, see you next time!"

Jiao Yuan's gaze then fell upon Shuang Hua beside Wan Wan. She... should go out and have her own life. Xin Feng picked up a tiger cub that was still rolling around at Jiao Yuan's feet, while Yin Ze carefully cradled two little phoenixes in his arms.

The other beastmen protected Bai Wanwan and Shuanghua in the middle.

Bai Wanwan chatted with Shuanghua the whole way. Although she tried her best to ignore the extra person in the group, she would still see him from time to time.

Ember simply followed silently behind the group, maintaining a distance that was neither distant nor intimate.

However, his "colleagues" caused several males around Bai Wanwan to subconsciously keep him out of their circle.

They all saw through Jin Ying's intentions towards Wan Wan, and they would no longer give other males a chance to get close to her.

The atmosphere in the group became strange as time went by. Bai Wanwan couldn't help but look at Jin Ying several times, but he remained calm and composed, as if he didn't notice the other males' wariness of him.

That evening, the team set up camp in an open hilly area.

The setting sun painted the horizon a brilliant orange-red, and the wind blowing across the wilderness carried the fragrance of wild grass, yet it could not dispel the stagnant atmosphere.

Bai Wanwan sighed inwardly. To give the males a sense of security, she stood up and walked towards Jin Ying, who was sitting alone on a rock in the distance.

Several males' eyes instantly focused on her. Although no one spoke, their body language showed that they cared a lot.

Bai Wanwan stopped a few steps away from Jinying, her tone polite but distant: "Jinying, thank you for your company and help along the way."

She paused, meeting his unreadable eyes, and continued, "But we have some other plans and need to take care of some personal matters by detouring, so we won't be returning directly to that continent for the time being. Therefore... I'm afraid we'll have to part ways here."

Her voice was clear and firm, carrying through the twilight.

Ember Shadow could tell that this was not a discussion, but a notification.

Upon hearing this, he looked at her in silence, the setting sun casting flickering light and shadow in his deep eyes.

After a long while, the corners of his mouth slowly curved into a smile, but the smile was filled with an indescribable bitterness, as if he had swallowed a cup of aged bitter wine.

“…Alright.” His voice was low and hoarse, as if he had expended a great deal of effort to utter the word. “In that case, let’s part ways here.”

He stood up, patted off non-existent dust from his robes, his movements seemingly composed, yet revealing a subtle, almost imperceptible, hesitation.

He gave Bai Wanwan a deep look, a gaze so complex that it sent a shiver down her spine, as if it contained a thousand unspoken words, but in the end, it all boiled down to a light, casual "Goodbye."

In that instant, Bai Wanwan clearly caught a deep, overwhelming sadness in his eyes. The emotion was so heavy that it was almost unlike that of a casual acquaintance.

She paused slightly, instinctively wanting to look more closely.

However, in the blink of an eye, when you looked again, his eyes were calm and deep, and the shocking sadness just now seemed to be just an illusion caused by the setting sun, which had disappeared without a trace.

"Take care." Bai Wanwan suppressed the strange feeling in her heart and nodded.

Without another word, Jin Ying turned sharply, his black figure disappearing into the deepening twilight, quickly vanishing at the horizon, as if he had no regrets whatsoever.

Only when his presence completely disappeared from their perception range did the tense smiles of the males in the camp relax.

Yan Lie let out a long sigh of relief and muttered, "Finally gone. I felt so suffocated having that guy around."

The wariness in Zhu Xiu's eyes slowly faded, but a trace of deep thought remained in his eyes.

Xin Feng walked to Bai Wanwan's side, gently took her hand, and said softly, "What would you like to eat tonight? I'll make it right away."

Selfishly, he didn't want another male around Wanwan, but if Wanwan wanted to accept him, he wouldn't say anything.

Unbeknownst to them, after they had gone far away, the lone figure who had walked into the wilderness slowly came to a stop.
