Tiger, I rejected the iron rice bowl.

Unsure of the situation inside the cave, the concubine hesitated, unsure whether to go in. Yet, the anger in her heart compelled her to take a few more steps forward.

She wanted to sneak into the cave and, while the other person was still fast asleep, launch a surprise attack to kill this guy who had trespassed on her territory and show Wang Yuyu her strength.

But then Wang Yuyu's instructions to her not to enter the cave easily echoed in her mind, and that impulse was instantly suppressed.

She stood there, caught in a dilemma, her eyes filled with conflict.

In that brief moment of hesitation, the noise inside the cave suddenly stopped.

The loud snoring stopped abruptly; clearly, the bear in the cave had sensed the danger outside and woken up.

It was an adult black bear, very thin after a winter of hunger, probably weighing only about 100 kilograms.

It was considered large for its size, but only slightly larger than the concubine.

It poses a threat to the concubine, but it's not fatal!

The key is that the opponent has the advantage of terrain and is also blessed with a hunger buff, making them extremely aggressive. It's hard to say who will win!

Heavy footsteps echoed from inside the cave, and the black bear, its muscles taut, slowly emerged from the cave.

His small eyes were filled with vigilance and anger as he stared intently at his concubine outside the cave.

It emitted threatening growls from its throat, exuding a fierce aura.

When he saw his concubine, he immediately realized that she was up to no good and had come to cause trouble.

Moreover, based on the information he gleaned from the aura, he knew that the opponent's combat strength was greater than his own, and he might not be able to defeat him.

The thought of possibly losing his life filled the black bear with a surge of rage. He gritted his teeth and cursed the wolves in his heart.

His territory was right next to his concubine, and also right next to the pack of wolves.

During the winter, the pack of wolves invaded his territory while he was hibernating, killing countless animals and leaving him unable to find enough food to replenish his energy when he woke up.

That's why he had no choice but to invade his concubine's territory, thinking he could just take a quick bite and leave.

Unexpectedly, before he could even run away, his concubine caught up with him.

Speaking of which, the previous owner of the territory that Wang Yuyu killed, his concubine, was a distant relative of this black bear.

Although bears, like tigers, are not social animals, their territories are mostly clustered together, and they do not exclude other bears from living nearby.

This is completely different from a Siberian tiger!

Tigers have a very strong sense of territory. Once their offspring reach adulthood, they must leave their parents' territory and wander to distant places to establish their own new territories.

For the rest of our lives, the chances of us meeting or interacting again are even slimmer!

Bears are different. They have a relatively weak sense of territory. As long as there is enough food, even several unrelated bears can live together in the same area and form a loose family.

They forage for food and live their own lives, trying their best not to provoke each other and coexisting peacefully.

Although we are not family, we can live peacefully as neighbors.

This black bear often sees wolves secretly invading this territory to forage and provoke it.

Over time, he came to believe that the owner of this territory was a pushover who was easy to bully!

"Damn wolves, you've ruined my life!"

"If I make it back alive this time, I'll definitely teach you a lesson..."

Black Bear cursed under his breath, his eyes filled with regret.

If he had known earlier that the owner of this territory was so powerful, he would not have dared to barge in, even if it meant starving to death!

But it was too late to say anything now. He could only keep a close eye on his concubine and slowly retreat back into the cave, preparing for a desperate fight and a protracted battle.

The concubine also saw through the black bear's plan and wanted to stall for time until she left on her own.

Her time is precious; she can't stay here forever.

If the problem couldn't be resolved in a long time, she had no choice but to let the other party leave.

She also knew that if she rashly entered the cave now, she would be unfamiliar with the environment inside and did not know the opponent's specific strength, so she would most likely lose.

Getting injured is nothing to her; she's never been afraid!

But if you lose face in front of Wang Yuyu, that would be a big problem!

She didn't want her husband to see her in such a disheveled state.

Thinking of this, the concubine turned to look at Wang Yuyu, a pleading look flashing in her eyes!

Then it turned its head towards the cave and let out a deafening, threatening tiger roar: "Roar~ Stop hiding, come out and face your death, or I might give you a quick death!"

"Hmm~ Come on in if you dare!"

The black bear in the cave was not to be outdone and immediately responded with an angry roar, both as a form of resistance and to bolster its own courage.

This roar instantly reignited the mistress's anger!

This guy who broke in without permission dares to be so arrogant, he's got a death wish!

Her initial caution and hesitation were instantly swept away by anger. She was somewhat out of her mind and no longer afraid of the unknown dangers in the cave. She took a step and slowly approached the cave.

Wang Yuyu, who was hiding behind the rocks, saw everything and had a bad feeling in his heart. He knew something bad was going to happen!

The enemy situation is unclear, and the strength of the black bear in the cave is unknown. If the young wife rushes in recklessly, she might suffer a loss.

Wang Yuyu dared not hide in the shadows any longer to provide backup. He quickly went around to the side, quietly walked to the front of his concubine, peeked out slightly, and gently shook his head at her, signaling her not to be impulsive and not to enter the cave lightly.

When the concubine saw Wang Yuyu appear, her anger was instantly extinguished, and she stopped abruptly.

She glanced reluctantly at the cave so close at hand, but still obeyed Wang Yuyu's words, taking a few steps back. Then, she roared at the cave again, "Roar~ Come out if you dare! What's the point of hiding like this?"

"Hmm~ Come on in if you dare!"

The black bear in the cave immediately roared back, its tone still filled with resentment and ferocity.

The concubine had completely calmed down by now. Seeing Wang Yuyu's tense body and fighting stance, she instantly understood what to do next!

"Hey~ Come out here, you coward..."

The little wife let out another sharp tiger roar towards the cave, her voice filled with undisguised provocation, as if mocking the black bear for hiding in the cave and not daring to come out.

"Hmm~ Come in..."

The black bear inside the cave, not to be outdone, immediately responded with a low and fierce roar, but still refused to step out of the cave.

"Come out here..."

"Come in..."

The tiger and the bear started arguing across the cave entrance.

The concubine was relaxed, growling provocatively while occasionally scratching at the snow with her paws, her eyes full of mockery.

But the black bear was different; it would get angry as it cursed.

Already extremely aggressive due to hunger, and now, after being provoked like this, they all want to rush out and fight their concubine.

But the lingering shadow of death in his heart kept him on his toes, and no matter how angry he was, he dared not step out of the cave.
