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

Chapter 816 Deer River Tribe
Bai Wanwan straightened up slightly on the back of the white tiger and looked around.

The fence of the Luhe tribe appeared low and dilapidated in the sunlight. The male guards, holding sharpened wooden spears, tensed their muscles at the sight of the traveling merchant caravan in the distance.

The closer the group got, the more tense they seemed to become.

"We are traveling merchants, passing through the Deer River, and we'd like to see if you have any goods we need for exchange." The leader put on a familiar smile and gestured to the orcs behind him to show off the bulging animal skin bundles on their backs.

After confirming their identities and purpose, and noticing that they did indeed have quite a few living creatures, the guards relaxed their guard.

He waved his hand and said gruffly, "I have something to exchange. Come in."

The gate was opened a crack, and the traveling merchants filed in.

Bai Wanwan, protected by her beastmen, slowly stepped into the Luhe tribe.

Curious deer-tribe beastmen quickly gathered along the rammed earth paths in the tribe, peering out.

Their gazes were first drawn to the tall, imposing figures of Zhu Xiu and the others, whose presence was strikingly different. Then, their astonishment and confusion turned to Bai Wanwan, who was surrounded in the center.

A female?
How could a beautiful woman with a rosy complexion appear in a traveling merchant caravan on a long journey?
Almost subconsciously, many male deer revealed a knowing look and a faint pity in their eyes.

They exchanged glances, silently conveying a certain consensus: this was probably a "precious commodity" that some impoverished tribe had no choice but to offer in exchange for essential supplies.

It's a pity, but this kind of thing is not uncommon in the beast world.

They looked away, avoiding staring too intently, lest they displease the clearly unapproachable "escorts".

The merchant leader stopped and said to Bai Wanwan and the others, "I need to take my goods to exchange, you..."

Jin Yi nodded, "Don't worry about us, you guys go ahead."

The merchant leader then obediently led his group away to set up a stall in the open space in the middle of the tribe, where they bargained with the deer tribe members who had come after hearing the news.

Bai Wanwan looked around the lakeside tribe with great interest.

The houses are low and mostly built with reeds and mud bricks, exuding a strong sense of daily life, but also appearing simple.

Soon, the few outstanding males around her were like pebbles thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples far exceeding those of the stall.

At first, a few females peeked from the corner of the room, but then the news spread like wildfire, and more and more females, young and old, some even with their cubs, gathered around, their eyes burning as they stared at Zhu Xiu, Jin Yi, Fu Jinshen, Yan Lie, Hua Han, and Yin Ze.

They whispered and laughed, their gazes bold and direct.

Several exceptionally bold young females, taking advantage of the opportunity to offer fruit, approached, their eyes sparkling as they looked at the relatively gentle Hua Han or the handsome Yan Lie, their voices tinged with a coquettish probing: "Powerful males, which tribe are you from? Do you need a place to rest? My home..."

"No need." Yan Lie frowned, stepped aside to block Bai Wanwan's view, and said crisply.

Hua Han wore his usual, but now distant, smile, his voice clear enough for all the females around him to hear: "Thank you for your kindness. But we are already bound together, and this is our wife. We came to the Deer River tribe only to be with her."

Their shared mistress?
This realization elicited a chorus of incredulous gasps and disappointed sighs from the female onlookers. Their gazes returned to Bai Wanwan, their eyes filled with envy, jealousy, and incredulous inquiry.

Even so, they were reluctant to leave, as if they were watching some rare sight, following Bai Wanwan and her group as they walked slowly through the tribe, pointing and gesturing.

Bai Wanwan watched all of this and found it amusing.

She turned her head, her gaze deliberately lingering on the tense, handsome faces of her several beast husbands. From Zhu Xiu's cold, hard jawline to Fu Jinshen's slightly furrowed brows, then to Yan Lie's somewhat irritated muttering, and finally to Hua Han's perfect yet subtly helpless smile.

Jin Yi noticed his female's gaze fixed on them and couldn't help but ask in a low voice, "Wanwan, what are you looking at?"

Bai Wanwan chuckled, her voice tinged with amusement: "Look at my beast husbands, each one tall, mighty, and exceptionally handsome. No wonder they attract so many females wherever they go."

Several males felt their ears burning from her teasing, not out of shyness, but because they were unaccustomed to being the focus of such undisguised lustful gazes, and even more worried about displeasing her.

Yan Lie said urgently, "Wanwan, shouldn't we leave here quickly?"

"What's there to be afraid of?" Bai Wanwan shook her head with a smile, gently patting Yan Lie's strong arm. "They just think you're good-looking, they're just looking, they won't actually steal you away. Besides,"

Her eyes sparkled with a smile. "That just shows I have good taste."

After calming her beast husband, Bai Wanwan paused slightly, turned to the young deer-tribe female who was staring blankly at Fu Jinshen's profile, and asked in a gentle tone, "Excuse me, I'd like to ask, does your tribe have 'female caves'?"

The female came to her senses, a shadow crossing her face, as if she were somewhat afraid of the word. Her finger unconsciously pointed to a lower, more shady spot on the edge of the tribe, and she whispered, "There... over there, behind the reeds."

Bai Wanwan looked in the direction she pointed and saw only a patch of swaying, withered yellow reeds.

"How many females are there now?"

"Quite...quite a lot." The female's voice was even lower, and she lowered her head, not daring to look into Bai Wanwan's eyes, as if it were an ominous topic.

Bai Wanwan nodded, not asking for further details, and her gentle yet enigmatic smile returned to her face.

She changed her mind and instead of immediately heading towards the dark corner, she turned to another female who looked older, speaking in a tone as casual as if asking for directions:

"Then, can you tell me where your clan leader is now? I have something I'd like to talk to him about."

Just then, a tall, thin male carrying a water jug ​​passed by. The female, who had been questioned, quickly called out to him, "Lu Shi! There are outside beastmen here who want to see the chieftain!"

The male named Lu Shi stopped and looked over warily. When his gaze fell on Zhu Xiu and the others, his body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

That was the instinctive, blood-rooted fear of low-ranking orcs towards high-ranking predators, as if their breath was being choked by an invisible hand.

"See the clan chief? What...do you want?" His voice was tense, and he didn't dare to get closer.

Seeing this, Bai Wanwan gently tugged at Zhu Xiu's tense forearm, signaling him to relax, and then took two steps forward herself.
Maintaining a safe distance, he gave Lu Shi a non-threatening, even friendly, smile: "Well, there are some things I'd like to discuss with the chieftain. Rest assured, this should be a good thing for your Luhe tribe. Could you please lead the way?"

Her voice was clear and gentle, and her gaze was sincere, forming a stark contrast with the men around her who were like unsheathed blades.
