Wang's eyes were slightly cold as he lowered his gaze, wanting to explain something to his little female. However, at that moment, the female with her bare breasts not far in front of him suddenly pounced on him.

Her plump hand almost touched his animal skin skirt as the female excitedly said, "Hello, my name is Huang Ying. Would you like to be my male?!"

However, just as the female was about to touch the animal skin skirt, the male grabbed Si Yan and jumped away with her.

The rash action startled Si Yan, whose heart was racing.

She looked at the female named Huang Ying, her eyes slightly cold.

Letting others act as her female? What does she mean by this? Courtship?

She glanced at the female with some displeasure, then looked at Wang with some anger.

It's only been a short time, and he's already attracting so many admirers!

But Wang's expression was somewhat unexpected. The male in front of her seemed even more aggrieved than she was.

He lowered his eyes, gently nuzzled Si Yan's neck, and complained, "Yan Yan, she pulled at me."

Si Yan: ……

Wu Xie opened her little box, took out a piece of insect crystal and stuffed it into her mouth, her cheeks bulging. She whispered to Wu Yang, "See? Father Beast can act."

Wu Yang nodded. In his heart, however, he felt a deep admiration.

If only he had the acting skills of a father, but he's too reserved. Forget acting skills, he's not even relaxed when he's with his family.

The unexpected cuteness comes from the sight of a tall, strong male suddenly acting cute.

Si Yan was involuntarily softened.

Her heart melted completely, and she forgot all about her strange emotions just now, wanting only to coax him.

She hesitated for a long time, but finally gently patted the man's head with her soft little hand and smoothed his long hair. "I understand."

The snake-beastman, coaxed, immediately brightened up.

He said, sounding aggrieved, "There are always bad females trying to pull me away. Can Yan Yan protect me?"

Damn it, with that face, talking to her like that, all wronged, who could stand it!

Si Yan averted her gaze and slightly raised her head: "Oh, protect you? What's in it for me?"

The male thought for a moment and asked, "Yanyan, what do you want in return?"

Si Yan shifted her gaze back to him, looking at him intently: "I want to know, what kind of beastman are you?"

Si Yan had a vague feeling that this male seemed to be trying to hide from her what kind of beastman he was, but she was indeed a little curious.

Wang: ...Did you go too far?

Wu Xie: Oh ho.

无恙: Oh ho.

After a moment of silence, Si Yan asked, puzzled, "What kind of beastman are you? Is it hard to answer?"

The male whispered, "Will you protect me once you know what kind of beastman I am?"

Si Yan nodded: "Mm."

"Will you really protect me?"

Looking at the somewhat uneasy and frightened look on the male in front of her, Si Yan guessed that there must be a reason why he was hiding what kind of beastman he was.

She softened again. She thought, if he really didn't want to talk about it, then he shouldn't.

The male looked pitiful. "Yanyan, it's not that I don't want to tell you, but our kind is very unpopular in the beast world. People are prejudiced against us. They either beat or scold us when they see us. I'm afraid that if I tell you, Yanyan will not like me."

Si Yan couldn't bear it anymore, and she couldn't help but pat his head again. "You can't decide what species you were born into, but I know you're a good person."

The male's eyes lit up again, and that bright gaze made Si Yan's heart tighten once more.

Is it because she's eighteen that she's particularly prone to romantic feelings?

How can my heart race so easily just from being looked at by a handsome guy?

Si Yan, stay calm! Control yourself, stay calm!

But then she heard the male say in a low voice, "I am a cold-blooded beastman. No beastman in the beast world likes a cold-blooded beastman. Yan Yan certainly doesn't like it either."

"Cold-blooded orcs?" A whole host of species suddenly popped into Si Yan's mind.

Her lips twitched. Cold-blooded orcs are mostly not accepted by others, no wonder he was unwilling to talk about it.

It seems she really is a poor little thing.

However, she's alright. Apart from being a little afraid of snakes and disliking them, she seems to be okay with other cold-blooded animals.

She patted Wang's head with a touch of pity.

Wang blinked; he figured he'd probably gotten through this ordeal.

On the other side, the ignored female Araki was clearly angry.

She stood with her hands on her flabby waist, pointing at them and yelling, "I don't care where you're from, once you're in the Green Sand Tribe, you have to listen to me! You male, are you paired up? If not, come here! Come to me!"

Wang looked at Si Yan pitifully, his eyes saying, "Baby Yan, protect me, please protect me, okay?"

The two children, Wuxie and Wuyang, looked at each other in bewilderment: Oh dear. Dad is going to succeed, and Mom is going to soften her heart.

Sure enough, Si Yan was moved by his pitiful appearance, then looked coldly at Huang Ying. "He's in a relationship."

The poor little thing must have a very pitiful past. She wants to protect this pitiful little guy.

"Huang Ying, is it? Didn't you see him hugging me like that? He's my male. What do you want to do to my male?!"

Si Yan's tone carried a hint of sternness, while Wang stared intently at her, his pleased eyebrows curving slightly.

Huang Ying was stunned: "He... he's already in a relationship? With you?!"

Si Yan nodded indifferently.

Huang Ying looked herself and Si Yan up and down with a comparative gaze, and said disdainfully, "Skin so white, can it withstand the sun? I bet it'll peel off before it even gets a tan. So short, can it run fast? A wild animal could bite you to death the moment it arrives. So thin, does it have any willpower? Can it survive against desert beasts? What do you see in such a white and short female?"

Si Yan: Being short is really not my fault. Ouch, that hurts.

Wang Liang's beautiful purple eyes were fixed on Si Yan, as if she was the only one in his eyes. "Our Yan Yan is strong, gentle, brave, and beautiful. I've fallen for her, and she's the only one I recognize."

Huang Ying: ...

Huang Jiang grabbed Huang Ying: "Have you been fooling around enough? Get back to the cave!"

Huangjiang summoned orcs to coax Huangying back to the cave.

He took a breath.

He didn't dare to mess with that male, yet Huang Ying dared to mess with him; he really has a lot of guts.

Huangjiang secretly glanced at Wang.

This man is unusual, very unusual. He admitted that he brought them to the tribe for other purposes, but the Green Sand Tribe has always been open about their schemes.

So he made it clear when he was negotiating with Wang.

Bringing them to the Green Sand Tribe as guests is fine, but a huge monster has appeared in the desert, threatening the safety of the Green Sand Tribe. He needs Wang's help to deal with the monster.

He presumptuously agreed.

And so they stayed here.

Huangjiang: "Chief Wang, would you like to go to the cave to rest for a while?"

Wang nodded slightly.

The sun here is too strong; it can't damage Yan Bao's milky-white skin. He needs to put Yan Bao in the cave and then find some sun-protective fruit to apply to her.
