Chapter 761 Entrustment
Her other hand, hanging by her side, clenched tightly unconsciously, her nails digging deep into the soft flesh of her palm, sending a sharp pain through her, but it did nothing to alleviate the overwhelming panic in her heart.

No! She absolutely cannot let that happen!
"integral……"

She suddenly raised her head, her eyes flashing with a terrifying light, "I have points! More than a million points!"

"Peanut, you're so smart, you must have a way, right? There must be a way to bypass the rules, or... or exchange an 'identity' for him? How many points do you need? Just tell me! I'll exchange them all! If it's not enough, I can get more points."

She is always calm, and even in the most dangerous moments of the beast world, she can quickly analyze the pros and cons and find a way to survive.

But at this moment, all her reason had been burned away, leaving only the most helpless plea.

There seemed to be an extremely brief silence within the system.

The electronic voice of the tablet seemed to fluctuate subtly and imperceptibly due to the host's intense emotions.

“Host,” Peanut’s voice sounded again, still mechanical, but seemingly a beat slower than before, “I’m sorry. The repulsion and correction forces of the fundamental laws of the world are not commodities that can be directly purchased or offset with points. The operation of the system itself is also based on following the fundamental rules of the worlds. I cannot create or provide you with a ‘legitimate identity’ to deceive the laws of the world. This… is beyond my authority and violates the underlying protocol.”

For the first time, it used the word "sorry".

"Is there really no way...?"

Bai Wanwan's voice faded, like ashes after a fire had burned out, carrying a heavy, nasal tone.

The last bit of strength she had been holding on seemed to be drained away by those words, and she felt a wave of dizziness and weakness.

"Even if... even if it's just to keep him a little longer, not so soon... really, is there really no other way?" Her voice was so low it was almost a whisper.

"I'm sorry, host."

Long after the system's voice disappeared, Bai Wanwan remained sitting there, staring blankly ahead. The system's pale blue screen was still lit, but it could no longer reflect in her lifeless eyes.

Even peanuts couldn't do anything about it.

So what should she do?
Are we just going to watch Fu Jinshen leave forever?

The setting sun turned the horizon into a magnificent orange-red, bathing the Golden Lion tribe in a warm golden glow.

Jin Ying, Jin Yi, and Zhu Xiu returned from the West Mountain hunting grounds, followed by a group of exhausted but spirited orcs who dragged and carried an astonishing amount of prey, which was almost piled up into a small mountain.

This joint hunting expedition deep into the Western Hills yielded results far exceeding expectations.

Jin Yi wiped the sweat from his forehead, a relieved smile appearing on his handsome face.

He looked at the mountain of prey, his eyes filled with joy. "Judging by this amount, we should only need to work hard for another ten days or so to completely resolve the tribe's famine crisis!"

He paused, his gaze shifting towards the stone house in the center of the tribe, his tone softening, "The sooner we resolve the tribe's troubles, the sooner I can accompany Wanwan back to see the children. Thanks to you all this time! We were able to hunt so many large prey."

“You are Wanwan’s beast husband. Helping you is helping Wanwan.”

Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) faces these beastmen from Wanwan every day, and his feelings are actually quite complicated.

But he didn't want to antagonize them. On the contrary, deep down, he hoped that the family could remain harmonious during his stay. That way, if he really had to leave one day, he could rest assured, because he knew that these powerful males all deeply loved Wanwan, and they would continue to protect her happiness and fill the void he left behind.

Jin Yi didn't know what had happened between Jin Ying and Wan Wan, but Jin Ying's help to him was genuine, so he had a good impression of Jin Ying.

The tribe had a lot of affairs to attend to immediately, so he hurriedly said goodbye to the two and left.

The remaining two, Jin Ying and Zhu Xiu, walked side by side toward the stone house where they were staying.

The surrounding liveliness seemed to be separated by an invisible barrier between the two of them. They walked in silence, with only the sound of their footsteps echoing softly on the stone pavement.

As always, Zhu Xiu was taciturn, his gaze fixed straight ahead, his profile appearing cold and hard in the twilight.

Jin Ying walked slightly behind him, but her gaze was fixed on Zhu Xiu's tall and straight back.

Just as they were about to turn the corner of a stone house and the noise subsided, Jin Ying suddenly stopped, turned her head slightly, and calmly looked at Zhu Xiu.

Almost simultaneously, Zhu Xiu also stopped. He turned to the side, his dark eyes meeting Jin Ying's gaze precisely. There was no surprise in his eyes, only a calm as still as a frozen lake. "What is it?"

His voice, like his eyes, was devoid of warmth.

Jin Ying nodded, cutting straight to the point without beating around the bush. His voice was steady but carried a strange penetrating power: "You went back with Wanwan, so you also know... about my past with her, right?"

Zhu Xiu's eyes seemed to have a pebble thrown into the ice, creating a cold ripple.

The already indifferent aura emanating from him instantly became even more solid, carrying an invisible pressure.

He neither denied it nor described the impact of that trip on him, but simply let out a very soft snort from his nose, "Are you trying to remind me how special you are to her? Or are you trying to flaunt that... past that none of us could intrude on?"

He emphasized the words "different" and "past" slightly, revealing the displeasure deep in his heart at having his taboo territory touched.

Looking at the gloom and hidden hostility in his eyes, Jin Ying slowly shook her head. There was no smugness or boastfulness on her face, but rather a kind of almost thorough calmness, even with a trace of fatigue.

"No." He lowered his voice and looked directly and honestly into Zhu Xiu's eyes, which seemed to contain both lava and ice.

“Wanwan has indeed been paying more attention to me lately.” He paused, seemingly choosing his words carefully, “but it’s mostly out of… guilt. She feels she owes me something, about past misunderstandings and my ‘efforts.’ Plus…”

A faint hint of helplessness flashed across his eyes. "She knew I might not stay here forever, and this fear of 'potential loss' intensified her behavior."

He didn't want Wanwan's relationship with these males to deteriorate because of him. He hoped they would always treat Wanwan well, so that... he could leave in peace.

His words were like a precise scalpel, dissecting the subtle imbalance in the family atmosphere that had been brewing lately.

"Therefore, you don't need to regard me as an enemy that you need to be on high alert, nor do you need to feel uneasy because of Taiwan's temporary actions. Because I... may leave this world sooner or later."

His tone carried not only helplessness but also a sense of entrustment.
