A normal girl, Yu Wanwan, one day stepped onto the Beastmen Continent. Powerless, she decided to cling to the coattails of the Great White Tiger.
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Far...
Bai Jing's body transformed into a beast form at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The white tiger growled a few times, signaling Yu Wanwan to climb onto its back.
She carefully grabbed Bai Jing's smooth fur and climbed up quickly without hurting him.
After they were seated, Bai Jing stood up from the ground. Yu Wanwan grabbed his neck in fear and lowered her body, afraid of being thrown off.
The tiger roared, as if to say, "Ready to go!" Then, it ran off like the wind.
The scenery rushed past her, the wind whistled past her ears, and Yu Wanwan hugged him even tighter, her legs clamping tightly around his strong waist.
Bai Jing led her to a large forest.
It was still winter, but the place was lush and green, the soil was very fertile, the trees were laden with red fruit, and the low shrubs under the trees were full of berries.
Yu Wanwan slid off Bai Jing's body along his tail and asked, "Why are there still fruits here in winter?"
Bai Jing transformed into human form, put on an animal skin skirt, and said, "This is a place I discovered before. Even in winter, there are fruits to eat here."
Yu Wanwan wasn't really concerned about whether the fruit here was edible; she just wanted to go home: "Could you take me to the grove of trees I came from?"
Her original purpose in coming out was to find her way home.
Bai Jing looked down at the little female's tender face and almost immediately guessed what she was thinking: "Are you trying to find your way back?"
Yu Wanwan looked flustered and scared. If she told the truth, Bai Jing would lock her up like a human trafficker and never let her out again.
She stammered and lied, "No, I just wanted to go and take a look."
The little female's attempt to hide her feelings made Bai Jing feel a little bitter. He touched Yu Wanwan's cheek and said gently, "If you want to go back, I won't stop you. As long as you're happy, that's all that matters."
"Really?"
Bai Jing nodded: "I'll take you to see that grove of trees tomorrow."
Having received Bai Jing's promise, Yu Wanwan's mood visibly improved, and she ran around the orchard like a little bird.
She noticed the berries in the bushes; they were red and large, with glistening dewdrops on them, and looked incredibly tempting.
After confirming with Bai Jing, Yu Wanwan picked one, rubbed it on her clothes a couple of times, and put it in her mouth.
The sweet taste of the fruit immediately filled her mouth. The flesh was plump and juicy, and the aroma was wonderful. It tasted a bit like a black plum, sweet and sour with an enticing milky flavor.
Bai Jing explained, "This fruit is called sweet milk fruit, and many females love to eat it. However, your injury hasn't healed yet, so you still need to eat more meat to replenish your nutrition."
Yu Wanwan nodded obediently, but her hands kept picking the sweet milk fruit.
These past few days, she has experienced firsthand what it feels like to have nothing to eat during a famine.
Seeing this, Bai Jing picked a large leaf from a short distance away and handed it to Yu Wanwan.
Yu Wanwan took a look and realized that if she put the fruit directly on it, it would easily fall off when she went back later.
She thought for a moment, and then suddenly had a brilliant idea. She bent the leaf up into a cone-shaped bowl, so that the fruit wouldn't get lost when she put it inside!
Bai Jing was clearly surprised as well, and he praised her without reservation: "The little female is so smart."
After picking the fruit, Yu Wanwan continued to wander in the woods. There was a rustling sound coming from the grass. Before she could react, Bai Jing had already picked her up and, after a few lifts, put her on a big tree.
In all her life, Yu Wanwan had never climbed such a tall tree, and the feeling of emptiness beneath her feet made her weak all over.
"Wait for me here, I'll be right back."
After saying this, Bai Jing turned his head and jumped down from the tree, which was dozens of meters high. Just before he hit the ground, he changed his posture and, in the blink of an eye, a majestic white tiger landed lightly on the ground.
Bai Jing hadn't gone too far, and Yu Wanwan, who had a better view from above, quickly spotted Bai Jing's target.
Bai Jing, in his beast form, hid in the bushes behind the wild beast. Before the beast realized the danger, just as it lowered its head to drink water again, Bai Jing darted out like a beam of light and bit off the beast's neck.
Watching a live animal hunting event had a profound impact on Yu Wanwan, making her realize how insignificant her fighting power was in this strange world full of ferocious beasts.
