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

Chapter 542 Subtle Warmth

In the stone house where Shuanghua was temporarily staying, the supplies sent by the chieftain were indeed plentiful, enough for daily use.

But after Bai Wanwan went to see it, she always felt that something was missing.

So, after having dinner with the kids, Bai Wanwan carefully checked all the good stuff she had stockpiled in her system space.

She picked out several exceptionally soft thin quilts and silk four-piece sets, as well as a set of delicate and smooth ceramic bowls and plates and several lightweight and durable storage jars.

They even took out some delicately scented dried flowers, put them in a small woven wicker basket, and placed them in the room to add a touch of life.

“Yan Lie,” she called to the beastman who was checking the doors and windows for safety, and walked over to take his arm, “come with me to Aunt Shuang’s place again, I’ll bring some more things over.”

Yan Lie readily complied, taking most of the things from her hands and leaving her with only a light dried flower basket. The two walked side by side toward the temporary dwelling on the outskirts of the tribe.

The moonlight, like water, spilled onto the quiet tribal path.

As they approached Shuanghua's stone house, Yan Lie's sharp beast eyes narrowed, and he instinctively shielded Bai Wanwan behind him, whispering, "There are beastmen acting suspiciously ahead."

Bai Wanwan followed his gaze and saw a tall, male figure tiptoeing towards Shuanghua's door, his behavior indeed seeming somewhat suspicious.

Yan Lie's muscles bulged, and he was about to pounce and capture the person.

Bai Wanwan grabbed his arm just in time and lowered her voice: "Wait, don't disturb him yet, let's see what he wants to do."

With recent turmoil, she subconsciously felt that any abnormality was worth being wary of, perhaps she could follow the clues and discover something.

However, what happened next stunned her.

The male looked around, and after seemingly confirming that no one had noticed, he carefully put down a heavy vine basket he was carrying on his back. Then he took out several strips of processed, dried meat, a pile of fresh, plump fruits, and even a small jar of what appeared to be honey, and placed them neatly at Shuanghua's door.

Having done all this, he seemed relieved, yet with an almost panicked urgency, he turned to leave.

As he moved, Bai Wanwan noticed that one of his legs seemed to be not very convenient, and he walked with a slight stagger and tilt.

Just then, Shuanghua's puzzled voice came from inside the house: "Who is it? Is someone outside?"

The male, like a young forest animal startled by the sound, froze instantly and limped away, disappearing quickly into the shadows with astonishing speed.

Shuanghua pushed open the door and the first thing she saw was a pile of things at the entrance, before she saw Bai Wanwan and Yan Lie standing not far away.

She paused for a moment, then laughed and said, "Wanwan, the chieftain of the Rong tribe has already sent too many things. Why did you bring so much more? I can't possibly use it all."

Bai Wanwan stepped forward, shaking her head with a smile: "Aunt Shuang, this time it wasn't me who gave it to you."

She pointed in the direction where the male had disappeared. "It was brought here by a male. He didn't look very old, had gray hair, and was quite tall, but... he seemed to have a little trouble walking. Do you know him?"

Upon hearing this, Shuanghua's face showed a mixture of realization and helplessness. She walked out the door and looked in that direction: "It's him... Has he left?"

"Yeah, it ran really fast, like it was afraid you'd see it." Bai Wanwan found it a little funny.

“Sigh,” Shuanghua sighed and explained, “This morning I went to the orcs to exchange some salt blocks and saw him being pushed and shoved by some naughty little orcs, causing him to fall. His leg seemed to be in bad shape to begin with, and he couldn’t get up for a long time. So I helped him up and picked up his scattered things. It was such a small thing, why did he remember it and bring so many things… I think he’s not exactly well-off himself.”

She looked at the strips of meat and honey; the gift was too extravagant.

Bai Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "I reckon he might come again. If you run into him next time, just stop him, return these things to him, and thank him properly for his kindness."

Shuanghua nodded: "That's all we can do. Come on in and sit down, it's chilly outside." "No, Aunt Shuang," Bai Wanwan waved her hand, she was a little sleepy, "I was just thinking of giving you some daily necessities so you'd be more comfortable."

"Why would we need so many things?"

Shuanghua felt a little embarrassed watching Yanlie carry the things into the house.

She had no male mate, yet Wanwan truly treated her like a female mother.

She wanted to say something more, but then she saw Wanwan yawn.

"Tired? Why aren't you sleeping? Come back tomorrow."

"It's just a few steps, let me digest my food."

Bai Wanwan smiled and said, "Now that the things have been delivered to you, I can go back to rest with peace of mind."

Shuanghua was worried and instructed Yanlie, "Wanwan is about to give birth, so please take good care of her."

Yan Lie nodded, "Aunt Shuang, don't worry, we are very careful."

Bai Wanwan watched as Aunt Shuang scolded Yan Lie, smiling as she waited without making a sound to disturb her.

"Alright, Aunt Shuang, that's enough. Take Wanwan back to rest."

"Okay, Aunt Shuang, we'll head back now and come visit you again tomorrow."

Shuanghua stood at the door until they disappeared before turning around to look to the side. Not seeing any other orcs, she went out and slowly closed the door.

When Bai Wanwan returned home, sleepiness came over her suddenly and intensely. She barely had the energy to check on her sleeping children. As soon as she touched her soft bed, she closed her eyes and immediately drifted into a deep sleep.

I slept very soundly, and when I woke up, it was already bright daylight outside the window.

She stretched lazily, feeling refreshed after a good night's sleep, but was suddenly seized by a strong desire.

She wanted to eat fish and shrimp, the kind that were fresh, sweet, and chewy, with the cool scent of river water.

Once the thought came to mind, it was impossible to suppress it.

Just then, Xin Feng walked in and brought her a glass of warm water.

Bai Wanwan's eyes lit up immediately. She jumped off the bed barefoot, rushed over and hugged his arm. "Xinfeng... I want to eat fish and shrimp, I really, really want to! Can you go to the river behind the house and catch some for me? The biggest and freshest ones!"

Looking into her bright, eager eyes, Xin Feng couldn't possibly say no. He gently replied, "Okay, you wait at home, I'll be right there."

"No," Bai Wanwan hugged his arm tightly, "I want to go with you! Just like back in the cat tribe, we'll catch fish together!"

When recalling the days when they huddled together in the cat tribe and endured the initial hardships, Xin Feng's stern expression melted instantly, revealing deep nostalgia and tenderness.

Back then, they often went to the river together. She would play in the water while he went in to catch fish. Their life was simple yet filled with small, warm moments.
