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

Chapter 604 Warm Moments for the Family

They've only been inside for a short while.

At this moment, Jin Yi was suppressing the desire and longing for females in every cell of his body. When Hua Han questioned him so bluntly, his handsome face darkened, and he snorted irritably, glancing sideways with his golden eyes.

"This should be enough time for you."

Hua Han could easily see through his forced composure and the unresolved restlessness deep in his eyes.

He immediately understood, a mischievous yet knowing smile appearing on his face. He stepped forward, patted Jin Yi's shoulder with a hint of sympathy, and said in a low voice, "Alright, since you just got back, I won't argue with you."

However... from now on, everyone will have to rely on their own abilities to win Wanwan's favor.

Bai Wanwan noticed the undercurrent in their eyes, but seeing that there was no tension between them, she shook her head and ignored their subtle male thoughts.

Two males, carrying their cubs, called the remaining cubs to the entrance of the cub enclosure. After handing the rest of the cubs over to their fathers and mothers, they then shielded their own females in the middle and, bathed in the setting sun, walked towards their warm and welcoming home…

Back home, the stone house was immediately filled with the joyful sounds of the cubs playing.

The golden lion cubs were especially excited to see their father, Jin Yi, whom they hadn't seen in a long time. They surrounded him, rubbing their fluffy little heads against his legs and chattering excitedly.

"Father! You're finally back!"

"Father Beast, how is the Golden Lion Tribe doing now?"

"Father, when can we go to the Golden Lion Tribe? I want to meet the other Golden Lions!"

Jin Yi's hardened heart was melted by the children's innocent words and dependent eyes. He squatted down and patted the back of the largest lion cub, which had become much stronger. His voice was unusually gentle: "The Golden Lion Tribe is doing well. The people are working hard to build up the tribe. When you grow up a bit more and become strong and brave enough, your father will take you back to see it. That place will always be our roots, and it needs even stronger golden lions to protect them."

His words not only soothed the children's longing for their homeland, but also quietly planted the seeds of responsibility and protection in their hearts.

On the other side, Bai Wanwan watched this scene with a gentle smile on her lips, but her hands kept moving.

She took the thinly sliced, evenly cut fresh meat and various cleaned wild vegetables that Xin Feng had silently prepared, and skillfully put them into the boiling water of the milky white broth in the stone pot.

Xin Feng quietly stood by, handing her the ingredients she needed whenever she needed them, or carefully pulling away the mischievous cubs that tried to get close to the fire pit.

A moment later, steady footsteps sounded outside the door. It was Zhu Xiu and Qiu Rong returning one after the other, bringing back the day's bountiful harvest.

The once spacious stone house suddenly became even more lively. The males exchanged news from outside that day, the cubs burrowed around their fathers' legs, and the air was filled with the enticing aroma of food gradually cooking and the warmth of home.

Everyone sat around the large stone table and began to enjoy this long-awaited dinner with everyone present.

Chief Rong cut off a piece of roasted meat, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and looked at Jin Yi opposite him, asking, "Jin Yi, what's the situation with the Golden Lion Tribe, and what you saw along the way? Yin Ze only said it's generally stable. Tell me in detail." Jin Yi swallowed the food in his mouth before answering seriously, "It's a bit strange. About ten days ago, those out-of-control individuals who were harassing the outskirts of the Golden Lion Tribe on a small scale and attacking lone orcs on the road seemed to have suddenly disappeared. I led my people to strengthen patrols on the outskirts of the tribe and along the main roads, and afterwards it was unusually calm; we could hardly see them. Even some of the small tribes that were previously anxious seem to have caught their breath recently."

Bai Wanwan was holding a wooden spoon, preparing to serve a bowl of meat soup to the little mermaid cub beside her, when she heard this, her hand paused slightly.

This situation was indeed somewhat unexpected for her.

She originally thought that the dark forces behind the scenes had been laying the groundwork for so long and controlling so many orcs, and were probably planning a large-scale operation. She never expected that they would suddenly choose to go silent.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

She put down her spoon, her clear gaze sweeping over the powerful beastmen around the table. Her voice was gentle yet carried a clear warning: "Now that we have confirmed the existence of this force and witnessed its strangeness and danger, we must not let our guard down, whether it chooses to stir up trouble or remains unusually calm like it is now."

A hint of worry appeared in her beautiful eyes. "Sometimes, a brief period of calm is just the prelude to a bigger storm. We must always be on guard so as not to be deceived by this false tranquility."

Upon hearing this, Chief Rong nodded approvingly, his eyes filled with appreciation and agreement: "Wanwan is right. The calmer things are, the less we can afford to be careless. The tribe's patrols must be intensified, especially at night and in remote corners."

He then turned to Yin Ze, who was sitting on the other side, and said, "Yin Ze, a group of flying orcs have recently joined us, including a male with an orange-tier talent. I plan to incorporate them into our patrol team, and you will lead them. Their main responsibility will be to patrol the airspace and mountains near the Tiger Clan's territory and expand our early warning range."

Yin Ze put down the bone chopsticks in his hand and replied decisively without any objection, "Okay, leave it to me."

He is Bai Wanwan's beast husband, and the tiger clan is his future home. Protecting this place, and protecting Wanwan and her cubs, is his inescapable responsibility and his heartfelt desire.

"Alright, alright, we can talk about business later, let's eat first! The meat is getting overcooked!" Yan Lie's clear voice rang out.

He carried two large plates of freshly grilled, sizzling meat from the fire pit, placed them all in the center of the table, and then busied himself handing out skewers of raw meat that hadn't been grilled yet.

"Yes, we don't need to be too nervous. Just be careful and vigilant. After all, we are already males at the Crimson Rank." Zhu Xiu's expression was calm, giving people a strong sense of security.

Then he picked up a skewer of raw meat and skillfully placed it on the fire to grill.

The dining table became lively again, with everyone eating and drinking. The sounds of chewing, clinking bowls and chopsticks, the chirping and scrambling of the cubs, and the males' conversations about tribal defense and the external situation mingled together.

As night deepened outside the window, the stone house remained brightly lit, temporarily shutting out all the unknowns and dangers of the outside world into darkness.

Yin Ze carefully used a wooden fork to pick up a piece of perfectly roasted tender meat, dipped it in the special fruity sauce that suited Bai Wanwan's taste, and handed it to her bowl.

Xin Feng, sitting on her other side, silently filled a stone cup with juice made from wild fruits, and the sweet aroma of the fruit immediately wafted out.

Just as the atmosphere was filled with joy, a few clear knocks suddenly came from outside the heavy wooden door, breaking the noise inside.
