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

Chapter 519 Her words are enough!

She paused, raised her eyes, and scanned the faces of each of her beastmen husbands before tentatively asking, "If... I decide to make him my beastman husband as well, would you... be willing to accept it?"

After she finished speaking, there was a moment of silence in the room.

At that moment, outside the door, Jiaoyin, who had just come to report on the progress of the search, suddenly stopped in mid-air as she was about to knock.

The words coming from inside reached his ears clearly.

That one sentence from her is enough!

He never asked for too much.

He didn't want to put her in a difficult position, and he was even less willing to cause a rift between her and her beastly husbands because of him.

The hand that had been hovering over the door finally knocked firmly and forcefully.

"Knock knock knock!"

The knocking broke the slightly tense atmosphere in the room and also interrupted the beastmen's possible response.

"I'll go open the door." Yin Ze, who was sitting closest to the door, stood up and walked towards the doorway.

The door opened, revealing Jiaoyin's figure.

Because of the conversation they had just overheard, the males in the room looked at Jiaoyin with complicated expressions.

Adding another person means that Wanwan will have to spend some of her time with them.

No one can happily accept a new male.

Under the gazes of the males, Jiao Yin walked up to Bai Wanwan.

"I apologize for disturbing you. I've come to inform you that the merfolk sent out to search for Hua Han have returned with a report that they were attacked by a saltwater crocodile clan during their search!"

He paused, his tone growing even heavier: "The saltwater crocodile clan has returned with a vengeance, and this time... their strength seems to have increased significantly, and they are all fearless in the face of death..."

At this point, he looked at the several powerful males in the room and made a chilling guess: "Could Hua Han's sudden disappearance be related to the unusual behavior of the saltwater crocodile clan this time?"

This news immediately dispelled the previous delicate atmosphere surrounding whether or not to accept Kyoin.

Zhu Xiu frowned, made a quick decision, and looked at Yin Ze: "Yin Ze, you are the fastest and have the best eyesight. Go immediately to the area where the crocodiles are active and investigate the situation up close! Just investigate, don't linger, and come back as soon as you have a clear understanding of the situation!"

“Okay! I’ll go right away!” Yin Ze said without hesitation, a fierce glint in his eyes.

He had spent more time with Hua Han, and upon hearing that Hua Han's disappearance might be related to the crocodile tribe, he immediately turned around and transformed into a golden light, speeding away.

Zhu Xiu then turned to Jiao Yin, "Since you, Clan Chief Jiao Yin, are staying in the clan, then the safety of Wanwan is entrusted to you."

Even if they leave the males behind to protect the wanwans, having an extra strong and genuine guardian will give them more peace of mind to venture out.

Moreover... since Wanwan has already expressed her willingness to accept Jiaoyin, then Jiaoyin can be considered "family" to some extent, so it is only right for him to take care of Wanwan.

Jiaoyin nodded solemnly and promised, "Go with peace of mind. As long as I am alive, I will never let Wanwan and the cubs be harmed in the slightest!"

Ultimately, after a quick discussion, Xin Feng and Jin Yi stayed behind to assist Jiao Yin in protecting Bai Wanwan and the cubs, and to guard the area near the palace.

Meanwhile, Zhu Xiu and Yan Lie led a group of merman warriors to continue expanding their search for Hua Han's whereabouts and to remain vigilant about the movements of the crocodile tribe.

After the other beastmen left, Xin Feng and Jin Yi glanced at Jiao Yin and then silently left the room.

Bai Wanwan didn't immediately give Jiaoyin a friendly look. "Is there anything else?"

Jiaoyin looked at her indifferent profile, a bitter smile appearing on his lips. "Yes, I have something I want to tell you." He walked to her side and sat down next to her.

His gaze involuntarily fell on her, and thinking of their intimacy that day, it was undoubtedly the happiest and warmest memory of his life.

But now that she knows that the effects of drugs and her initial reluctance were involved, that sweet memory seems to have turned into a sour fruit.

She's leaving soon; every meeting is one less.

This realization caused him a sharp pain, as if his heart had been pricked by needles.

His gaze fell on her face, filled with an indescribable longing and reluctance.

Bai Wanwan noticed his focused and complicated gaze, and her heart softened slightly. Her tone softened a little: "What do you want to say?"

“Wanwan,” Jiaoyin’s voice was low and sincere, “That day… it was my fault. I couldn’t resist the temptation, and I should bear all the consequences. So you don’t need to have any psychological burden, and you don’t need to make a decision against your conscience for my sake.”

Bai Wan turned her gaze slightly to look at him, "What... exactly are you trying to say?"

Jiaoyin's bitter smile deepened, as if she had made a tremendous decision: "I don't want to put you in a difficult position. Since you promised them you would no longer form couples, then I will not accept the title of beast husband."

His heart was bleeding as he said those words, but his tone was unusually firm: "As long as... as long as you can still think of this sea occasionally in the future, and come back to see me when you're free, I'll be content. Is that alright?"

These words were completely unexpected by Bai Wanwan.

She knew all too well how much male orcs valued the mating ceremony; it was a kind of care ingrained in their very bones.

She hadn't expected Jiaoyin to say something like that.

"You really think so?"

Jiaoyin met her gaze, his clear, icy blue eyes reflecting her image.

"That day was happiness I stole. Having that one memory is enough; I feel very happy."

He paused, his voice becoming even gentler, "Wanwan, I truly hope that you will always be happy and joyful, living according to your own wishes, instead of feeling troubled or forced by anything or anyone."

This sentence, like a pebble thrown into a lake, created ripples in Bai Wanwan's heart.

Looking at the handsome and powerful merman king before her, who was willing to accommodate her and not force her, the last bit of resentment in her heart dissipated.

She pursed her lips and softly uttered a single word: "Okay."

Jiaoyin gazed at her longingly, "Can I... hug you again?"

He knew that from now on, every meeting would be a luxury, and every separation would be a long wait.

This time, Bai Wanwan didn't give him the cold shoulder.

She leaned forward and gently nestled into his warm embrace, which carried the faint scent of the sea breeze.

Jiaoyin's heart suddenly raced, as loud as a drumbeat.

He carefully, as if embracing a rare treasure, gently wrapped his arms around her slender waist, holding her tightly yet tenderly in his embrace.

"Wanwan..." He gently rested his chin on the top of her head, his voice deep and filled with endless love and longing, "I love you..."

The soft light of the seawater shone through the window lattice, gently enveloping the two people embracing, temporarily dispelling the disturbances of the outside world and the sorrow of parting.
