Chapter 668 The fisherman gets a profit
However, it was still a step too late.

He only had time to see the faint warning and possessive look in Zhu Xiu's eyes as he turned around, and then there was a soft "click".

The bedroom door slammed shut in front of him without mercy, completely cutting off his view.

Yan Lie cursed under his breath in annoyance.

Then, remembering something, she suddenly turned around, looked at Hua Han who was walking over a step later, and said angrily, "It's all your fault! If you hadn't stopped me, I would be the one carrying Wanwan inside right now!"

Hua Han stood with his arms crossed over his chest, leaning against the wall. He appeared much calmer than Yan Lie, but the dark glint in his fox-like eyes revealed that he was not without inner turmoil.

He gave a soft "heh" and retorted sarcastically, "As if you didn't stop me? If you hadn't held me down just now, I might be the one going in now."

The two males glared at each other, both knowing that they could fight to the death among themselves, but in front of Zhu Xiu...

They wouldn't dare resort to those tricks.

Zhu Xiu is the strongest fighter among the males.

After exchanging a few complaints, they were both somewhat sullen and could only mutter their arguments under their breath as they walked downstairs dejectedly.

Just as I reached the stairwell, I ran into Yin Ze, who was coming upstairs.

Seeing their appearance, Yin Ze stopped and asked in confusion, "What's wrong with you two? You look like two defeated wild beasts that failed to catch their prey."

Yan Lie was in a bad mood, so he snorted and turned his head away, too lazy to explain.

Hua Han glanced at Yan Lie, her tone much calmer: "It's nothing, he didn't get Wanwan, so he's angry with me."

"Is it because I didn't get to grab Wanwan? I'm angry that you messed things up!" Yan Lie immediately turned around and retorted.

Yin Ze shook his head helplessly as he watched their childish argument.

His expression turned serious, and his tone became stern: "Alright, stop arguing about this. There are more important things to worry about."

He paused, his voice lowered, and became unusually grave: "The situation outside is very bad. We've encountered a very difficult situation on our trip. We... may very well face a major battle that could determine the survival of our tribe. Now is not the time for petty squabbles. We must first unite to protect Wanwan and the cubs, and protect the tribe, so that we can have lasting peace and be with Wanwan forever. Otherwise..."

"Otherwise what?" Yan Lie and Hua Han asked almost in unison, their playful and angry expressions vanishing instantly, replaced by the alertness and solemnity of powerful masculinity.

They immediately put aside their trivial grudges and focused their sharp gazes on Yin Ze.

"What exactly happened this time? Explain yourself!" Yan Lie urged, his brows furrowed.

Yin Ze succinctly and clearly recounted his encounter with the fake Beast God, its terrifying strength, and its bizarre ability to change.

"You mean, that fake Beast God's strength is far above the Crimson Rank? And he can transform into any one of us?"

Yan Lie summarized the key information in Yin Ze's words, then suddenly turned his head and looked at Hua Han beside him with a suspicious and scrutinizing gaze, "Was it you? You damned fox!"

Hua Han rolled her eyes at his sudden accusation and retorted irritably, "If it were me, I would have had plenty of opportunities to take Wanwan away just now. Why would I be fighting with you for the door here?"

Yan Lie thought about it and agreed. If Hua Han was a fake, she would have had too many opportunities to harm Wanwan in Zai Zai's room earlier. He then looked at Yin Ze, "Then how can we tell? How can we guard against it?"

Yin Ze didn't answer immediately. He looked downstairs and said, "You guys come downstairs with me first. After Chief Rong settles the orcs back, we'll discuss this in detail. Our initial idea is that we'll each set up a few questions that only we know the answers to. If we suspect someone has been impersonated, we'll ask them these questions to verify their identity."

This suggestion made both Yan Lie and Hua Han fall into deep thought.

A sense of crisis, like a cold tide, instantly overwhelmed the previous heat of jealousy and rivalry, and they quickly entered a state of preparedness.

The two exchanged a glance, their eyes still showing little affection, but at this moment they reached a temporary, life-or-death tacit understanding.

"Wait for the chieftain downstairs," Yan Lie said in a deep voice, taking the lead as he walked down the stairs.

Hua Han and Yin Ze followed immediately, and the three male figures disappeared around the corner of the stairs, leaving only a heavy atmosphere and a tense feeling of impending storm in the air.

Upstairs, inside the tightly closed room, Zhu Xiu carried Bai Wanwan and walked a few steps to the bedside. However, he did not put her down immediately. Instead, he remained in that position, looking down at the little female in his arms.

Her face still had a lingering blush, and her eyelashes seemed to be slightly damp, making her look so alluring to men that they wanted to "tease" her.

There are white, curved solar lights in the room.

However, the light is very dim to promote sleep.

The light ambiguously outlined Zhu Xiu's strong and deep features, and also softened his usually overly cold gaze.

Bai Wanwan's heart pounded a little wildly under his gaze. She raised her arms and wrapped them around his strong neck. Taking advantage of being lifted up by him, she tilted her head back and gently kissed his hard-lined chin. She said softly, "Zhu Xiu, I missed you so much."

Her voice was like a feather, gently brushing against Zhu Xiu's heart.

He knew perfectly well that this little female was good at sweet-talking people, and that her sweet talk could be sickening. She might have said similar things to other males as well.

But at this moment, hearing her soft voice say "I miss you" and feeling her warm lips pressed against his, Zhu Xiu felt as if something had hit his heart hard, and an indescribable heat quickly spread through his body, soothing his limbs.

His Adam's apple bobbed, and his dark pupils deepened in color.

They responded with actions, not words.

He tightened his grip on her, adjusted his position, and used one large hand to firmly support her hips and legs, while the other hand cupped the back of her head, allowing her to more comfortably receive his kiss.

Then, his burning kiss landed on her, no longer the fleeting touch she had just given him, but one filled with undeniable force and pent-up longing, deeply capturing her breath.

His tongue skillfully pried open her teeth, entwining and playing with hers, drawing in her unique sweetness.

At the same time, his large hand, which had been supporting her, had somehow slid down to her waist.

Through the thin fabric of her nightgown, his burning palm pressed tightly against the soft flesh of her waist, his calloused fingertips unconsciously and possessively caressing her.
