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

Chapter 766 Determination
She looked up at his momentarily bewildered eyes, and a smile bloomed on her face that was brighter and warmer than the morning light outside the window. That smile contained maternal radiance and a strange, fulfilling joy.

Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) blinked, as if he didn't understand, or as if the huge information shock made him lose the ability to react for a moment.

He just stared blankly at her, at her gentle smile, and then looked down at their hands, which were clasped together on her lower abdomen.

Bai Wanwan's smile deepened, tinged with a hint of mischief and boundless happiness, as she patiently explained, "It was last time... the time I got drunk, that's when I got pregnant."

She paused, her tone becoming serious, "Fu Jinshen, my children and I... cannot lose you."

"The children...?" Fu Jinshen finally found his voice and repeated it dryly. His gaze suddenly lifted from her lower abdomen and locked onto her eyes. Inside were waves of shock, ecstasy, disbelief, and an even heavier sense of responsibility and bond that surged up in an instant.

The immense emotional shock choked him, leaving him with a thousand words stuck in his throat, yet he couldn't utter a single one.

All words seem pale and powerless at this moment.

He said nothing more, but suddenly tightened his arms, holding her petite body, which was carrying a new life, tightly and intimately into his embrace.

The force was so great that it seemed to want to meld her into his very bones, and it was as if, through this most primal embrace, he was conveying to her and their unborn child an unspeakable promise and boundless love.

His chin rested on the top of her head, he closed his eyes, and breathed deeply her scent.

A sudden surge of anger welled up inside him; why was God doing this to him?

So many obstacles were planted in his and Wanwan's relationship.

The determination in my heart to fight against fate became stronger than ever before.

When Shi Hua came over carrying a small wicker basket, Bai Wanwan was sitting on a stone stool in front of the stone house, staring blankly at the busy scene in the tribe in the distance.

The sunlight was just right, shining on her, but it seemed unable to dispel the faint, lingering sorrow between her brows.

"Sister!" Shi Hua called out cheerfully, interrupting her thoughts.

Bai Wanwan snapped out of her daze, a smile spreading across her face, and invited her to sit down.

Shihua placed the wicker basket on the stone table, lifted the clean leaves covering it, revealing the tempting marinated meat strips inside, which exuded a unique fruity and meaty aroma.

"Sister, try this. It's a new recipe I came up with. It's lamb marinated in sweet and sour red berry juice and then smoked with fruitwood. I'm sure you'll love it!"

Bai Wanwan took it, thanked her, and put one in her mouth.

The meat was surprisingly tender, and the sweet and sour fruit flavor balanced the greasiness of the meat. The smoky aroma added to the flavor, making it truly delicious.

She sincerely praised him a few times, then got up and went inside, poured a cup of sweet wild fruit juice into a bamboo tube, and handed it to Shihua.

Shi Hua sipped her juice, her eyes darting around as she observed Bai Wanwan's face, hesitant to speak. "Thankfully, Chief Jin Yi returned in time and organized such an effective hunt," Shi Hua began, her tone filled with gratitude. "The cubs in the tribe have finally been able to eat their fill these past few days and don't have to cry from hunger anymore. I heard them say that the harvest has been particularly plentiful these past few days, so we should have enough food soon, right? Then... are you all going back to the Tiger Clan, sister?"

Bai Wanwan nodded, swallowed the food in her mouth, and her tone carried a hint of longing for home: "Yes, it's been so long since we left. The crisis in the Golden Lion Tribe is almost resolved, and I miss my cubs. I estimate that in a few days, once things here are completely stable, we'll have to head back. I'll come see you again next time I have the chance."

Shi Hua put down the bamboo tube, reached out and grasped Bai Wanwan's hand on the stone table, her round face full of reluctance: "Okay, then wait for your sister to come back next time, and be sure to stay for a while longer."

She paused, her fingers unconsciously stroking the back of her pale, curved hand, her eyes darting around, as if she still had something to say to herself.

Bai Wanwan keenly noticed her hesitation, put down the meat strip in her hand, wiped her fingers with a clean handkerchief, and asked gently, "What's wrong, Shihua? Is there anything else you want to tell me? Is there anything you can't say to me directly?"

Shi Hua bit her lower lip, looked up at Bai Wanwan, and lowered her voice, which was filled with concern and a hint of caution: "Sister... actually, I saw it these past few days."

Bai Wanwan was slightly taken aback: "What did you see?"

"I noticed... you seem... particularly concerned about the male Ember Shadow. You keep looking at him wherever you go, and your gaze is different when you talk to him. And what about your other beast husbands, Sister Wanwan..."

Shihua hesitated, a little embarrassed, but still said, "It seems like you've ignored me. I saw they were all very sad..."

Bai Wanwan's heart sank slightly, and a trace of guilt flashed across her face.

She didn't deny it, but took a deep breath and frankly admitted her mistake: "This matter... I was wrong. A few days ago, I had some things on my mind, and my emotions were not very stable. I didn't control myself well and I did... neglect their feelings."

Her voice was filled with genuine regret.

Seeing that she wasn't angry or argued back, but instead frankly admitted her mistake, Shi Hua breathed a sigh of relief, squeezed her hand, and asked with concern, "Sister, what happened?"

It must be said that orcs' intuition can sometimes be really accurate.

Bai Wanwan was silent for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, some... not-so-good things happened. I didn't mean to neglect them, it's just... I was too afraid of losing Jinying, that fear overwhelmed everything else."

She paused, her eyes gradually becoming clear and firm. "But now, my emotions have calmed down a bit, and I know that my previous behavior was wrong. I think I know how to balance things now."

Hearing her say that, Shi Hua was finally relieved and smiled again: "That's good! Sister, you know how to handle it. I was just worried... worried that because you like one male too much and dote on him, it will make the other males in the family unhappy and cause discord in the family."

It's no wonder Shihua is worried; there are far too many examples like this in the tribe.

Because females have many male partners, and after spending a long time together, some males who are not good at speaking and do not know how to please the females, and those who are weaker in nature, will gradually lose favor and may even be kicked out of the family in the end.

A strong-willed and resentful male might harm other favored males, leading to fights that could destroy the entire household and even result in tragedy.
