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

Chapter 605 Unraveling

Yan Lie, who was closest to the gate, immediately put down the meat and bone he was holding and stood up: "I'll go take a look."

He strode to the door, opened it a crack, and saw Yin Mei standing outside in the hazy night.

When Yin Mei saw the room full of powerful males and the cubs running around, a hint of restraint and hesitation appeared on her face.

"Are you looking for Yin Ze?" Yan Lie stepped aside slightly and called out as he turned around.

Yin Ze also saw his older sister, put down his bone chopsticks and stood up: "Older sister, you were looking for me?"

Yin Mei showed no intention of coming in. She simply stood at the door, gently shook her head at Yin Ze, and then turned her gaze to Bai Wanwan, who was looking over with a smile. Her voice was gentle: "No, I came to see Wanwan."

Seeing that she seemed to have something on her mind, Bai Wanwan greeted her warmly with a smile: "Sister Yin Mei, what's up? If you're not in a hurry, come in and have something to eat. We can talk about it slowly after we've eaten."

Looking at the room full of handsome, aloof, or strong men, Yin Mei felt a little uneasy about the powerful aura they naturally exuded. She quickly waved her hand and said, "No, no, Wanwan, I've already eaten. You guys eat slowly, no rush. I'll wait until you finish eating before we talk."

Just then, the little phoenix cub born to Bai Wanwan and Yin Ze walked unsteadily and wobbled to the door, looking up at Yin Mei with curiosity.

The little guy is covered in soft, light golden fur, and looks as cute as a little sun.

Yin Mei was immediately fond of him at first sight. She naturally bent down and carefully picked up the soft little bundle, her tone instantly becoming incredibly gentle: "Little one, are you full?"

She gently teased the cub in her arms while standing quietly in the shadows of the porch, patiently waiting, clearly not wanting to disturb their dinner.

Bai Wanwan's appetite wasn't very good in the evening because of her afternoon's running around and her worries. When she saw that Yin Mei had come to see her, she seemed to have something to do, so she put down her utensils after eating very little and prepared to get up.

Xin Feng, sitting next to her, gently pulled her wrist and whispered, "There's no rush. She won't be able to wait much longer. Eat a few more bites, and go out when you're full. You'll get hungry easily at night."

Bai Wanwan met Xin Feng's concerned gaze, smiled reassuringly at him, and patted the back of his hand: "Don't worry, I'm really full."

Xin Feng had no choice but to prepare some food for the night in case his wife went hungry.

He slowly released his grip, his gaze following her as she rose from her seat.

Bai Wanwan tugged at her dress and walked towards Yin Mei, who was waiting at the door. A sense of curiosity arose in her heart: what did Sister Yin Mei want to see her about at this time?

Hearing footsteps, Yin Mei turned around and saw that she had come out so quickly. Feeling a little guilty, she quickly said, "Wanwan, you really don't need to rush. Go back and finish your meal first. I can wait."

Bai Wanwan smiled and shook her head, then sat down affectionately next to her on the stone steps outside the house, the evening breeze carrying a chill. "When you came, I had already eaten almost everything. You know I don't have a big appetite."

She turned her head, and in the warm light from the room, looked at Yin Mei's worried profile. A knowing glint flashed in her eyes, and she chuckled softly, "Let me guess... you came to see me so late, is this related to that Yin Yuan?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Yin Mei's cheeks flushed red at a visible speed, spreading all the way to her ears.

She subconsciously pursed her lips, her eyes flickering with struggle and confusion. Finally, she nodded slightly, her voice so low it was almost inaudible: "Yes... it's related to him."

"So...did you have a proper talk with him later? There were rumors that he was going to form a mate with another female, what's going on?" Bai Wanwan guided her to continue.

“We talked…” Yin Mei took a deep breath, as if she had made up her mind. “He told me. He said… he had no idea that his mother had gone behind his back to discuss things with that female family. During that time, he went hunting in a faraway place with the males in the tribe, just to gather more supplies to help me and Yin Ze.”

"When he returned, laden with his spoils and beaming with joy, I heard about it from his mother. He immediately refused and even had a huge argument with her." Yin Mei's voice carried a hint of wistful recollection. "He said he would come to me immediately afterward to explain, but... Yin Ze and I had already left the tribe. He searched many places but couldn't find any trace of us..."

As she finished speaking, her voice trembled with a hint of sob and relief that she herself was unaware of.

It turns out that the obstacle that had been looming in her heart for so many years, the wound that made her both love and hate, and feel betrayed, actually stemmed from a misunderstanding caused by a series of unfortunate events.

Bai Wanwan listened quietly, took Yin Mei's slightly cold hand, offering her silent support, and then looked earnestly into her eyes, asking the most crucial question: "So, Sister Yin Mei, putting aside all the misunderstandings and entanglements of the past, do you... still like him now?"

Yin Mei raised her head, her eyes glistening with tears, filled with complex emotions: "I...I don't know either. After learning the truth, I was very confused. For a long time, I was really heartbroken, and even...I hated him a little. I hated him for 'giving up' on me so easily."

She paused, her tone becoming even more confused and uneasy. "But Wanwan, I already have Kong Lai. He treats me very well, and we even have a baby. If... if I accept Yin Yuan, I'm afraid I'll let Kong Lai down, and I'm also afraid... afraid I won't be able to love him as unconditionally as I did when I was young. It seems like I've lost that courage and ability."

Bai Wanwan patted her hand understandingly, her voice gentle yet firm, carrying a power that pierced through the fog: "Sister Yin Mei, since he has explained clearly that he did not wrong you, and you have obviously never truly let go of him in your heart, why not give each other a chance to start over? The most important thing in life is to be happy and follow your heart."

These words startled Yin Mei slightly, as if something had struck her heart.

Bai Wanwan continued, "As for Kong Lai and Yin Yuan... they are inherently different, there's no need to compare them. Your feelings for Yin Yuan don't necessarily have to be exactly the same as when you were young. Feelings that have gone through time and hardship may become deeper and more stable."

Yoon-mi blinked. "Really?"

Bai Wanwan smiled at her: "Well, let's leave the future to the future. Now, do whatever you want to do according to your heart at this moment. Think more positively about everything, don't put yourself in shackles with unfounded worries, and you will naturally have fewer troubles."
