Although Bai Jing had asked Wanwan's name before, he hadn't asked about her beast race. Now that he saw her wanting to eat fruit, he remembered.

Wanwan hesitated for a moment. How was she supposed to answer that? She wasn't a beast at all.

After a long pause, she tentatively said, "I am... an Earthling, you know that?"

Bai Jing frowned: "Earth? Which beast race? Or is it the name of your tribe? I've never heard of it before."

Bai Jing continued, "Then why did you see a beast in the forest?"

You see, females are the most precious creatures in the beast world, and no tribe would leave a female alone outside. Yu Wanwan is so beautiful, and she appeared in the forest all alone. If it weren't for him, she would have been taken away by the beastmen of the wild boar tribe.

Yu Wanwan herself didn't understand how she got there. If she had known that opening that door would mean she couldn't go back, she wouldn't have left the house even if the sky had fallen.

"I can't find my way home," was the only explanation Yu Wanwan could offer.

Seeing the little female's disappointed look, Bai Jing couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

He gently touched Yu Wanwan's cheek and comforted her tenderly, "Don't worry, I will take good care of you from now on."

Looking at the man in front of her who radiated an angelic glow, Wanwan couldn't help but feel her heart pounding—no, it felt like thousands of little deer were galloping through her mind.

The atmosphere between the two was gradually warming up when, just then, an orc swaggered in, instantly ruining the pleasant atmosphere.

"Bai Jing, Bai Jing, what are you doing?" Shun Feng walked in with meat in his hand.

Yu Wanwan's face turned bright red, and she quickly covered her face and hid in the bedroom.

"Hey? Bai Jing, this is your female? How come she's so small? Is she an adult yet? Or is she still a cub? If she's a cub, according to tribal rules, she should be raised by the whole tribe and allowed to choose her own mate when she grows up. She..." Shun Feng's words were like a wound-up toy, and he couldn't finish them.

Bai Jing, whose good time had just been interrupted, couldn't help but frown and get up to chase him away.

"Of course she's an adult. How could I not know that she's my female?"

"Hey, don't push me away! My mother sent me to bring you meat. Why didn't you bring the female out to see? You haven't held the ceremony yet, have you? Has the contract been signed...?"

Shunfeng's voice gradually faded away.

Yu Wanwan hid in the corner, so embarrassed that she scratched her feet on the ground.

What is she doing? She's actually falling for a beastman from another world!

With her mind in complete disarray, Yu Wanwan couldn't help but grab her hair and scratch it frantically.

"Wanwan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Yu Wanwan's hand, which was pulling at her hair, was pulled back.

The first thing you see is Bai Jing's handsome face.

"No, it's nothing." Yu Wanwan said blankly.

Bai Jing said, "That was Shunfeng. He lives in another cave. I'll take you to meet him another day, okay? His beast mother took good care of me when I was little."

Yu Wanwan nodded, forgetting to ask why she was being taken to see the Beast Mother.

Seeing that Yu Wanwan didn't speak, Bai Jing patted her head and looked at her gently: "Shunfeng is just like that. Did he scare you just now? He even scratched his face until it turned red."

Yu Wanwan's face flushed instantly, like a boiling kettle, not only steaming but also hissing, creating a vivid image.

All of this is because of Bai Jing.

He! Actually! Licked! Her!

My goodness, this is just too much!

Yu Wanwan's heart was pounding.

Bai Jing, however, didn't think much of it. Licking was fine; beastmen's saliva had healing effects, so he could heal his female without any problem.

For the rest of the time, she remained hesitant and awkward, always avoiding Bai Jing's gaze.

Orcs and such are really good at flirting.

......

Not long after Shunfeng left, another group of uninvited guests arrived. Even though Yu Wanwan was in her bedroom, she could hear their shouting.

Bai Jing patted Yu Wanwan's head and instructed her, "Wait for me here." Then he walked out.

Several orcs gathered outside the cave, looking menacing, like debt collectors.

"Bai Jing, come out here right now! Don't even think about monopolizing the females!"

"That's right, everyone picked it up together, why should you keep it all to yourself!"

"Come out right now! Stop hiding inside and keeping quiet!"

Yu Wanwan lay by the cave entrance, listening curiously to the sounds outside.

Bai Jing emerged from the cave, his gaze coldly fixed on the group of men: "Lucy? What are you doing here?"

The orc named Luce was startled by Bai Jing's gaze, but when he thought that he had a legitimate reason for coming and that he had brought so many people with him, he was not afraid.

Luce puffed out his chest and said defiantly, "We've come to reclaim our females!"

"Your females?"

“That’s right.” Another orc with a scarred face next to Luce said, “We found an unclaimed female in the forest before. We all saw her together. According to the rules, we are also qualified to be her mates. Today we are here to take the female back.”

The scarred orcs already had difficulty finding mates because of their disfigurement, and now that they heard from the witch doctor that the female had been rescued, they immediately wanted to get a share of the spoils.

"Yes, bring the female out quickly!" the beastmen echoed. The commotion in front of Bai Jing's cave attracted the attention of the idle beastmen in the tribe.

"Ridiculous." Bai Jing sneered, "Back then, you were all so afraid of the females dying that not a single one of you dared to step forward. What are you doing here now?"

These words caused an uproar at the scene.

Several orcs who knew the inside story explained it to their companions.

"So that's how it is. These orcs have gone too far."

"Females are so precious that even if they are injured, they should be brought back for treatment."

"Wasn't it because you were afraid of affecting your relationship? Now that you know they're doing well, you've come back."

"That's utterly shameful."

"......"

The surrounding gossip and accusations made the orcs feel extremely ashamed, and they regretted coming to the door that day.

The scarred orc seemed about to give up, but Luce acted as if he hadn't heard him and said, "So what? We saved her, so we're qualified to be her partners. Bai Jing, are you going to break the rules?"

"The rules of the Beastman Continent were set by the Beast God. Bai Jing, do you dare to disobey them?"

For the sake of their beastmen's lives, the beastmen abandoned their shame and echoed Luce's words. One beastman even tried to push Bai Jing aside and snatch the female away.

One of the orcs watching the commotion said, "Bai Jing, why don't you bring the female out?"

"Yes, an orphaned female must choose the male who saved her as her mate. If you disobey, you will be punished by the God of Darkness!"

Seeing that someone was agreeing with him, Luce became even more smug. He crossed his arms and sneered, "Yeah, Bai Jing, hurry up and bring the female out."
