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

Chapter 740 Going to Pick Up Personally
After crossing the last ridge, the familiar outline of the tribe came into view, but the atmosphere was completely different from what I remembered.

After a snowy season, the beastmen of the Golden Lion tribe have just returned to their homeland and are rebuilding their houses that have been ravaged by the wind and snow.

Bai Wanwan clearly sensed the desolation.

The number of males on the streets has decreased sharply, many stone houses are empty, and the noise of cubs chasing and playing that used to be heard has become much less frequent.

Several males who were repairing the roof saw them, stopped what they were doing, and looked over. Their eyes held not only greetings but also a lingering heaviness.

Bai Wanwan knew that this calamity in the Beast World had had a significant impact on the Golden Lion Clan.

“Wanwan,” Jin Yi held her hand, “I’ll take you to rest first, to the house we used to live in. It’s close to Shihua’s house, she can stay with you. I’m going to talk to Father Beast about something, I’ll be back later.”

His brows were furrowed with the weariness of his journey, and weighed down with worry for his people.

"Okay, you go ahead and do your work. You don't need to see me off. I have Yin Ze and Yan Lie with me!" Bai Wanwan gently squeezed his fingers to reassure him.

Jin Yi originally wanted to insist on escorting her back, but just then two males came up quickly. After greeting them, one of them spoke up, his tone urgent: "Young Chieftain, you've come back just in time. The Chieftain is worried about the distribution of food and hunting in the tribe. Please come with me."

"Go ahead, don't worry about me." Bai Wanwan nudged him.

Jin Yi looked at Yin Ze and Yan Lie standing next to Bai Wanwan, thinking that they had already arrived at the tribe and that they were red-rank males, so they should be fine. He nodded and said, "Okay, then I will try to come back as soon as possible."

Then he turned around and strode away with the two males.

Yan Lie and Yin Ze, one on each side, escorted Bai Wanwan toward the stone house she remembered.

The scenery along the way was even more desolate. Some females sat silently in front of their doors, tending to their fur or cleaning their utensils. Only when they saw Bai Wanwan did they manage to smile and nod in greeting.

Before I even got close, a familiar figure emerged from the alley to the side—it was Shi Hua.

"Sister!" Shi Hua saw her too and greeted her happily.

She was holding one child by the hand and carrying another in her arms; the two little ones were blinking their round, bright eyes.

"What are you doing here? Is the house all tidied up?"

Seeing Shi Hua's still bright smile, Bai Wanwan's gloomy mood dissipated a little.

She quickened her pace to meet them, took out a few cookies she had made for the cubs from her small pocket, and handed them to Shihua's cubs. "Do you remember your auntie?"

The children sucked their fingers, gazing longingly at the food in her hand that emitted a faintly sweet aroma, their little noses twitching.

"You little rascal, hurry up and call for help." Shi Hua gently patted the older child's back.

The two little ones then called out "Auntie" in their childish voices, but their eyes were glued to the cookies.

Bai Wanwan smiled as she handed out the cookies to them, then patted their soft hair. "Let's go home and talk about it."

"Okay, let's go back first."

Returning to the stone house where they once lived, they pushed open the door and found that it had been simply cleaned, but traces of their past life remained.

Thinking about what had happened here, Bai Wanwan stood at the door, somewhat dazed.

In the blink of an eye, she has been in the Beast World for two or three years.

The initial fear and confusion have long since faded, replaced by a deep sense of belonging to this land.

She grew accustomed to the air here, scented with the scent of grass and trees; accustomed to the straightforward emotions of the beastmen; accustomed to the males around her who cherished her like a treasure…

Instead, I feel that the world of towering buildings and bustling traffic is very far away from me, like a dream from another world.

“We just finished cleaning up a couple of days ago,” Shi Hua followed her in, putting down the squirming cubs in her arms and letting them eat their biscuits. “Sister, I’ve tidied up your room a bit, but if you need anything, just tell me and I’ll get it for you right away.”

Shihua also stayed in the Tiger Clan for the entire snow season, but the situation was critical at the time. She lived in the Golden Lion Clan's settlement, which was far away from Sister Wanwan. Later, for the entire snow season, females were unable to go out.

They had only met once or twice in the tiger clan. "Sister, why did you suddenly come here? Where are your other beast husbands?"

Sister Wanwan has so many beast husbands, how come only two came this time?

“They were busy, so I came with Jin Yi to see you. You came in a hurry and left in a hurry, and we didn’t even have a proper chance to see you…”

Meanwhile, far away in the Tiger Clan...

Zhu Xiu placed the last piece of processed giant antler deer meat into the cellar, walked up to Chief Rong, and said succinctly, "I plan to go to the Golden Lion Tribe, let her play for a few days, and then bring her back."

He was still worried and planned to go and bring the person back himself.

The chieftain was skinning his prey when he heard this and looked up at him.

Without much hesitation, he nodded, "Okay, I'll feel more at ease if you keep an eye on things."

At the next table, several other males were preparing dinner.

Zhu Xiu didn't lower his voice, so his words reached the ears of every male.

Hua Han, who was sitting not far away sewing leather armor with bone needles, immediately looked up: "Zhu Xiu, I'll go with you too."

His face showed undisguised longing and worry.

On the other side, Jin Ying, who was grilling meat, also looked up, his pupils flickered slightly, and he uttered two words: "Together."

Sitting next to Jinying, Jiaoyin, who was in charge of looking after the cubs, moved her lips, as if she wanted to speak as well.

Chief Rong spoke first: "The family still needs males to take care of the cubs. Hua Han, your cubs are still small and can't live without you."

After he finished speaking, he glanced at Jinying.

He is strong, has no offspring, and his family has enough food reserves...

"Alright, Jinying, you go with Zhuxiu, I'll feel more at ease that way."

Only when Wanwan wasn't around did they realize how slowly time was passing.

They all wished they could grow wings like Yin Ze so they could quickly fly to Wanwan's side.

Everyone originally thought they could be patient until Wanwan came back on her own initiative, but now everyone realizes that it seems that's not possible.

I'm not going to pick her up because I'm afraid she'll get distracted by playing and forget to come home.

Hua Han glanced at the cubs playing at her feet, pursed her lips, and finally had no choice but to give in.

Jiaoyin thought of her cubs and swallowed the words that were about to come out.

That night, Jin Ying did not sleep well.

The moment I close my eyes, all I can think of is Wanwan's scrutinizing gaze as she looks at me.

Even if he didn't want to think about it deeply, he had to admit one fact: Wanwan... had very likely already discovered his identity.

Before dawn the next day, Jin Ying, who hadn't slept all night, got up early, thinking that Zhu Xiu hadn't gotten up yet.

Unexpectedly, he appeared in the living room even earlier than I did.

"Let's go..."

Two males strode swiftly toward the Golden Lion tribe, still shrouded in the lingering darkness.
