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

Chapter 769 You Can't Hug
He watched as the number of males around her gradually increased from one or two to the current number, each one so outstanding, yet there was no place for him among them.

The feeling of watching a treasure being guarded by others while you yourself are not even allowed to touch it is like poisonous ants gnawing at your heart, day and night.

However, after all these years, his temperament has changed.

The initial anxiety, impatience, and lingering resentment were gradually replaced by a deeper, colder obsession.

Impulses are suppressed, edges are smoothed out, leaving only a lingering flame deep in the eyes.

He slowly loosened his clenched fist and exhaled a long, silent breath of pent-up frustration.

It's ok.

Roger gazed at the faintly visible petite silhouette at the very front of the group below the mountain, his eyes becoming deep and resolute.

Anyway, he's already made up his mind about her for life.

From the first moment he was attracted by the resilience and cunning in her eyes that were unlike any other female, his heart could never accept anyone else.

He has a lifetime.

He can slowly wear it down.

He thought that as long as he was like those males, giving his heart and soul and protecting her with his actions, he could succeed.

Perhaps Wanwan can't accept him now... but what about ten years? Twenty years?
He will definitely find an opportunity to let her see his feelings and feel his love.

One day, he too can truly enter her life, just like Jin Yi, Zhu Xiu, and the other males who are already standing beside her, and together they can raise their own offspring and live happily ever after.

The mountain wind howled, blowing his short brown hair, but his deep, almost obsessive determination remained firmly in his heart, like a mountain rock.

Meanwhile, in the forest below, Zhu Xiu, who was walking at the front flank of the group, and Qiu Rong, who was close to Bai Wanwan and seemed casual but was actually always vigilant about their surroundings, both turned their sharp eyes to one place almost simultaneously.

Although the distance was considerable and the spy was well concealed, for males of the level of Zhu Xiu and Qiu Rong, that gaze, which seemed almost tangible, was like a firefly in the dark night, difficult to completely conceal.

Zhu Xiu's reddened pupils contracted slightly. He didn't stop walking, but his body had already turned slightly in that direction.

He exchanged a brief glance with the chieftain not far away.

Chief Rong nodded almost imperceptibly, then slightly adjusted his steps to get closer to Bai Wanwan's location. His broad shoulders seemed to intentionally or unintentionally block all views from that direction for her.

"Keep an eye on Wanwan and don't leave her side." Zhu Xiu's voice was extremely low, so that only a few people nearby could hear him, as he spoke directly to Qiu Rong.

His gaze remained fixed on that hilltop, where a chilling light shone.

Any potential dangers must be eliminated.

“Okay.” The chieftain’s reply was brief and forceful. “Be careful.”

The two finished their exchange in a very short time, and Zhu Xiu's figure quickly disappeared from the queue.

Bai Wanwan realized what had happened and immediately asked, "What happened?"

She was talking to Jinying and Yanlie the whole time and didn't notice.

At this moment, the other males also noticed the problem and all looked in the direction where Roger was.

"It's alright, Zhu Xiu will go ahead and check if it's safe along the way."

Meanwhile, Zhu Xiu was moving with ghostly speed, silently rushing towards the suspicious mountain.

Instead of transforming directly into his beast form and causing too much of a commotion, he used the terrain and trees for cover, like a top-tier hunter, to begin a silent infiltration and encirclement. Roger quickly sensed the approaching danger.

It was discovered!

He can't confront them directly yet. His goal is to become Wanwan's beast husband. If he wins, Wanwan will be angry and their relationship will sour. If he loses, they won't let him off the hook.

He took one last, deep, greedy look at the figure in the line below the mountain that had shrunk to a tiny dot before quickly looking away.

Without the slightest hesitation, he turned and dashed into the denser and more rugged forest!

With swift movements like the wind, making full use of the rocks and bushes for cover, his figure completely disappeared into the dark depths of the jungle, leaving only a few startled birds flapping their wings and flying into the sky.

When Zhu Xiu reached the summit at an astonishing speed, he only saw a few fresh, slightly slippery rock marks on the cliff edge due to his rapid movement.

He stood still, his dark eyes coldly scanning the vast forest below.

The other party was very alert and withdrew decisively and quickly, leaving behind few clues.

Is it a coincidence, or is someone deliberately spying on us here?
Unable to rest easy, Zhu Xiu searched the nearby hills for half a day without success before quietly returning to the group along the same route he had taken.

As he rejoined the group, the chieftain looked over with a probing gaze.

Zhu Xiu shook his head, his eyes cold. "They got away."

The chieftain frowned slightly.

Because of this incident, the males were more cautious on the return journey.

The group continued its steady journey toward the Tiger Clan.

As the familiar fences and watchtowers of the Tiger Tribe came into view in the distance, the setting sun was painting the horizon a warm orange-gold.

A number of tribespeople who had heard the news had already gathered at the entrance of the village, and the first to run out were a group of furry figures, some of whom were not quite grown up.

Jiaoyin, who stayed at home, waited there early with Bai Wanwan and her children, big and small.

"Mother! Mother is back!"

The sharp-eyed little ones cheered first and stumbled over with their short legs.

The young boys, already half a person's height and beginning to resemble teenagers, tried to remain composed, but the excitement and affection in their eyes were equally undeniable, and their pace quickened involuntarily.

Bai Wanwan was carefully helped down from the beast-shaped back by Jin Yi. As soon as she stood up, she was hugged by the little cubs who rushed over and their chattering greetings drowned out her.

Her face radiated the joy of returning home and the tenderness of motherhood. She bent down and stroked each of the little ones' heads, responding softly.

A half-grown male cub, already quite sturdy and with a hint of fiery, arrogant spirit in his eyes, pushed past his younger siblings and tried to snuggle into his mother's arms like he had when he was a cub.

He had just opened his arms, before he could even touch the hem of Bai Wanwan's clothes, when a large hand grabbed the skin on the back of his neck.

"Ouch!" the male cub cried out in dissatisfaction, turning his head to meet the warning eyes of his father, Yan Lie.

“You’re a half-grown kid,” Yan Lie pulled him aside, “Stay away from your mother, don’t touch her or bump into her!”

According to animal tradition, once a male cub leaves the cub stage and begins to learn hunting and fighting, it is not advisable for him to have overly intimate physical contact with his female mother. This is to cultivate the male's independence and strength.
