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

Chapter 818 Are you willing?
By this time, the orcs from the Deer River tribe, who had rushed over upon hearing the news, had completely surrounded the open space, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.
"Now, an opportunity is presented to you."
Bai Wanwan's gaze swept over the eyes that were gradually igniting with faint flames. "If you're willing, you can look around now and see if there are any males you'd like to mate with. Go ask them if they'd like to mate with you."
Several females began to timidly scan and search among the onlookers.
But most of the females only trembled slightly before lowering their heads even further, enveloping themselves in silence and retreat.
They no longer dared to believe it.
Bai Wanwan looked at them, a complex and bittersweet feeling washing over her.
This is not only about helping these unfamiliar females, but also, to some extent, about redeeming the self who might have suffered the same fate without the system, or even the original owner of this body.
"Why not give it a try?" She softened her voice, as if encouraging a cub afraid to take the first step. "Just muster up the courage to take that step, and you might be able to touch a life you never dared to dream of before. Even if you fail, it won't be worse than it is now, will it?"
Finally, after a long period of silence and inner struggle, two of the females moved.
They glanced at each other, finding the last vestige of courage in each other's eyes, and then, as if using all their strength, with unsteady yet determined steps, they walked toward two specific males in the beastmen's ranks.
As they drew closer, the air seemed to freeze.
All eyes were on the two chosen males, the tribe's strongest and most vigorous hunters.
One of the females, trembling, stopped a few steps away from the male. Her lips trembled for a long time before she finally asked in a voice barely audible, "You... Lushan, you... would you like to become my mate?"
The male, known as Deer Mountain, showed a fleeting look of shock, struggle, and a clearly visible pain on his face.
He looked at her with a complicated expression, his lips moved as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, under the watchful eyes of the surrounding clansmen, and driven by the "correct" concept of procreation, he shook his head with difficulty but determination.
"I'm sorry, I... I can't." After he finished speaking, as if he couldn't bear to look into her eyes, which dimmed instantly, he abruptly turned his head away.
The other female didn't even get to reach her desired partner.
As soon as she took a step in that direction, the male she was looking at changed his expression, as if he were avoiding something ominous. He hurriedly took a few steps back and quickly disappeared behind the crowd.
The glimmer of hope was extinguished by the cold reality.
Suppressed sobs and a chorus of suppressed sighs rose from the open space.
Bai Wanwan sighed softly in her heart.
The beast world is cruel, and reproduction is paramount. She understands the choices made by the males, but this only strengthens her resolve to change everything.
“The choice isn’t limited to them.” She raised her voice, her gaze sweeping over all the males present, lingering for a moment on those who were injured and unable to move, or those who were naturally weak and of lower rank. “Look around you. Perhaps there are males who have been silently caring for you. I said you can have offspring; this is a new beginning.”
After a brief moment of disappointment, the two females who had just been rejected refocused their gazes.
Yes, how could they possibly dare to hope for the best male...
Their gazes began to fall on the figures at the edge of the crowd.
One male, lame from a hunt, silently leans on his cane; another, unusually thin due to childhood illness, is always busy with chores; and several older males, bearing old scars and with gentle eyes, are often overlooked. This time, when they once again mustered their courage to approach these "marginal" males, the situation was completely different.
The lame male stared in disbelief at the female who approached him, then a huge, overwhelming joy welled up inside him.
"Are you willing?" The female reached out her hand to him.
He reached out his rough hand, trembling as he grasped the female's cold fingers, his voice choked with emotion: "I...I do! Luccao, I've always...I've always..."
On the other side, the small male, facing the approaching female, blushed deeply and stammered but nodded repeatedly with great eagerness: "I do! I do! I will... I will do my best to treat you well! Although I am not very strong, I can weave very good baskets and find the sweetest berries!"
Tears finally rolled down the cheeks of these females, which had long since dried up.
They nodded vigorously and grasped the hand that had offered warmth and promise.
Bai Wanwan stepped forward and placed two black pills, each emitting a faint, bitter medicinal fragrance, into their palms.
"Take it before mating. Then you will be able to have your own offspring."
Chieftain Deer Antlers stared intently at the two small pills, his Adam's apple bobbing, unable to resist asking again, "This...this dark thing, really...really works?"
“If it doesn’t work,” Bai Wanwan looked at him, her tone calm but unquestionable, “you can continue as before and send them back to the female cave. But if it does work, please remember your oath, Chieftain.”
Chief Deer Antlers took a deep breath and nodded emphatically.
To verify this, Bai Wanwan and her group stayed in the Luhe tribe for a few more days.
In the past few days, several more females have chosen other injured or weak males in the tribe and have also received the pills.
A miracle occurred soon afterward.
After examining the newly paired females, the elderly shaman of the Luhe tribe announced to the entire tribe in an excited voice that all the females who had taken the pills and paired up had successfully conceived!
The news struck like a thunderbolt, shaking the entire Luhe tribe.
Even females with above-average fertility may not be able to conceive so accurately on the first try!
This completely overturned their understanding.
Those strong males who had once reluctantly rejected females due to their low fertility are now filled with regret. Seeing their former crushes being carefully cared for by their unassuming partners, their bellies slightly protruding, they feel both annoyed and jealous, and try every means to get closer to them to please and make amends.
However, these females, pulled back from the brink of hell, had already made their choices through repeated disappointments and final acts of warmth and salvation.
They coldly ignored those belated acts of kindness, silently guarding the partners they had chosen, who, though perhaps not strong enough, gave them the only respect and warmth they needed.
Before leaving, Bai Wanwan discreetly slipped a small animal skin pouch into the hands of each of the females who had taken the pills. Inside were several extra fertility pills.
"Keep this safe. In the future, when choosing a partner, choose a male who is truly good to you. The hardships of the past are over, and you deserve to be treated well."
The females looked at her, and their eyes all reddened.
"Thank you!"
If it weren't for her, they would never have been able to change their fate.
