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

Chapter 803 The Glacier Forest
The Glacier Forest, located in the frigid far north of the continent, is filled with ancient ice, but also with unknown dangers and a harsh environment. It has always been regarded as a forbidden zone by the orcs, who dare not approach it easily.

However, this time, no one objected as soon as Yan Lie finished speaking.

Hua Han immediately chimed in, her beautiful peach blossom eyes losing their usual languidness and replaced by seriousness: "I'll go with you. The environment there is complicated, and having more companions means more support."

Zhu Xiu pondered for a moment and slowly nodded, his dark eyes sweeping over the other males. "Yes, Wanwan and the cubs can't keep going like this. I'll stay with you."

He knew the dangers there, but he was even more aware that as the first beast-tamer of the Wanwan, he had a responsibility to make his pregnant partner more comfortable in the sweltering heat.

“The two of you alone are not enough,” Yin Ze’s cool voice rang out, with his usual calm analysis. “Although the ice in the Glacier Forest is not easy to melt, the distance is far. Even if we dig up the ice, how to bring it back quickly will be a problem. I am the fastest and can be responsible for transporting the ice back in the shortest time.”

The other males also wanted to help the females dig ice, but they understood that the house couldn't be without males.

The females need protection, and the cubs need care.

In the end, everyone unanimously decided that Zhu Xiu, Yan Lie, Hua Han, and Yin Ze would go to the Glacier Forest, while the rest would stay behind.

Chief Rong's gaze swept calmly over Yan Lie and the other males. "The Glacier Forest is fraught with danger. You must be cautious. Your primary task is your own safety. If there is any insurmountable danger, retreat immediately and then we'll figure out a solution."

He emphasized his words, looking at Zhu Xiu, "If Wanwan knew that you risked your lives for the ice, she would feel extremely guilty. Therefore, you must not be harmed."

Zhu Xiu met the chieftain's gaze, nodded steadily, and released an invisible pressure and promise at the same time: "Yes, I will bring them back safely."

After the matter was settled, Zhu Xiu set off with the others.

If they go early and come back early, Wanwan and the kids will suffer less.

The few males who remained came to the shaded area where Bai Wanwan was resting.

She was lying on a specially made bamboo chair, her belly already noticeably protruding. Because of the heat and her pregnancy, she was feeling lazy and half-asleep.

Sweat clung to her smooth skin, making the stray hairs on her forehead stick to her skin, and her cheeks flushed an unnatural red.

Xin Feng walked over with a pained expression, knelt down on one knee beside her, and gently wiped away the beads of sweat from her cheeks and neck with a soft, damp cloth. He asked softly, "Wanwan, are you feeling unwell?"

Her long, white eyelashes trembled, and she lifted her eyelids to see Xin Feng. She forced a reassuring smile at him and said, "I'm fine... just a little sleepy."

She could actually use her system points to exchange for some ice cubes or even small refrigeration equipment to cool things down.

But she was eager to accumulate two million points, and Fu Jinshen's fragile nature meant that even the slightest danger here could cost him his life.

The hot season is still long, and it's not worth spending a lot of points on cooling down.

It was just a little hot; other females could endure it, and so could she.

It's tough... but I'll get through it if I just grit my teeth.

At this moment, Fu Jinshen walked over with a glass of thirst-quenching drink made with fruit juice and a little honey.

He carefully helped Bai Wanwan up a little from the recliner, letting her lean against his arm, and held the cup to her lips: "Wanwan, drink some of this, it will make you feel better."

"Mmm." Bai Wanwan took his hand and sipped the cool, sweet juice. Her parched throat felt soothed and she did feel a little better.

She looked up at Fu Jinshen, who was rushing to train his physical fitness. His tanned skin was covered with a thin layer of sweat, but his eyes were focused and gentle as he looked at her.

She smiled at him and said, "You look so hot."

She reached out and wiped away his sweat. With the help of several males, she finished dinner and went to her room to rest early.

Perhaps it was because the heat had drained her energy, or perhaps it was the deep sleepiness brought on by pregnancy, but Bai Wanwan slept more soundly than usual that night.

She vaguely felt that the house seemed quieter than usual, but sleepiness overwhelmed her, and she didn't think much of it.

She woke up the next morning to the still-sweltering heat and instinctively reached out to her side, only to find nothing.

She sat up, tidied herself up, and went downstairs.

Looking around, the spacious dwelling was unusually quiet.

At this time of day, the males are usually busy with their own duties, but because she has so many husbands, they take turns coming back, making the house always lively and bustling.

But today, when she came downstairs, she only saw Jiaoyin's figure.

A nameless unease crept into my heart.

She looked at Jiaoyin, who was smiling as she walked towards her, and asked, "Jiaoyin, why is the house so quiet today? Where are Yanlie and the others? Qiurong and Xinfeng aren't here either?"

Jiaoyin's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

His silver-blue eyes flickered, avoiding Bai Wanwan's direct gaze, and he tried to keep his tone steady: "They... went out hunting early this morning. It's hot, and the prey are hiding. They set off early, so they're probably going to a relatively distant hunting ground."

Bai Wanwan's eyebrows furrowed.

Jiaoyin was not good at lying, and his momentary hesitation and evasiveness did not escape her notice.

“Jiaoyin,” her voice deepened, carrying a clear questioning tone, “Are you hiding something from me?”

Jiaoyin coughed lightly, trying to cover it up.

He was most unwilling to hide anything from Wanwan and wished he could lay everything out in front of her.

However, Chief Rong repeatedly instructed that Wanwan must not be told about Zhuxiu and the others going to the Glacier Forest, lest she, who was pregnant, have to live in fear.

He struggled internally, carefully choosing his words, trying to gloss over the matter for the time being.

In a few days at most, when they return safely with Bing, Wanwan will naturally understand their good intentions and won't have worried for nothing.

However, he underestimated Bai Wanwan's keen insight and persistence.

Before he could even gather his thoughts, Bai Wanwan had already walked up to him and stopped in front of him.

They were so close they could hear each other's breaths. She tilted her head slightly, her beautiful eyes fixed on him, her clear gaze seemingly able to see through his heart: "Jiaoyin, you're planning to lie to me, aren't you?"

Her voice wasn't loud, but it carried an irresistible force: "I want to hear the truth."

Their eyes met, and Jiaoyin looked at her forehead, which was covered with fine beads of sweat from the heat and her eagerness, and at the determination in her eyes... The dam of "white lies" that he had built in his heart instantly crumbled.

He gave up, sighed softly, took her hand which was slightly cold from nervousness, and whispered, "They went to the Glacier Forest to fetch ice for you and the cubs."

In just a short while of this standoff, Bai Wanwan's forehead was already covered with fresh beads of sweat, but upon hearing the words "Glacier Forest," she felt a chill rush from the soles of her feet to the top of her head, instantly overshadowing the heat around her, and her heart sank.
