Following Bai San's pointing finger, they saw a man, shirtless, quickly wiping himself with snow under a protruding rock not far away. As he moved, snowflakes fell and piled up at his feet, some faintly dark red.

The man seemed to have noticed Xiang Wan and Bai San long ago. He glanced at them sideways, then nonchalantly began wiping his arms and wrists. Steam rose from his body; if one didn't know he was using snow, one would think he was a furnace, the kind that would evaporate any water poured on him.

Strong arms, clearly defined; muscular and powerful; rounded back, wasp waist, muscles bulging. That sideways glance made Xiang Wan involuntarily hold her breath, then her heart pounded and her eyes welled up: It was him!

They searched high and low, only to find it unexpectedly! This person was none other than Shi Cong, the lion-clan beastman whom the original owner had longed to repay! However, his physique, resembling that of a bodybuilder, was completely different from what the original owner remembered. And the way he looked at them... well, it was as if he were looking at two lifeless beings completely unrelated to him. No matter how hard Xiang Wan and Bai San stared at him, he didn't show the slightest reaction, completely ignoring them.

That shouldn't be the case; Shi Cong isn't the kind of person who lacks kindness. Besides, those muscles are incredibly powerful; I must drag him back to the clan to feast my eyes on them and, while I'm at it, complete another mission.

Yes, let's do it this way!

With Shi Cong already here, how far away can that woman who seems to have traveled from another time be?

However, seeing Bai San standing beside her, looking indignant, Xiang Wan couldn't just pack up Shi Cong and take him away. Even if they could win, it would be difficult to explain back home.

"Third Brother," Xiang Wan turned to Bai San apologetically, "Look at our tribe, even the strongest old man isn't as fit as him. There must be some way to improve our physique and make us like him. Then, which female would dare to look down on us? (They've never even given us a second glance!) So, for the sake of all the unmarried males in our tribe and our countless descendants, should we take him back?"

Since everyone's single anyway, a spouse is every bachelor's Achilles' heel.

Bai San's eyes were red with anger. The youngest brother always brought this up, and he couldn't refute it.

That's the truth, how can you refute it? Unless he can find his own female right away.

Seeing Bai Xiangwan's expectant and adoring expression, Bai San felt a surge of pride for no apparent reason: since his birth, no one had ever looked at him with such admiration. Even if it wasn't for pride, but for the sake of his neighbor Ahua (his Baihua, who he would definitely become his Ahua when they got back!), he was determined to kidnap this beastman with his muscular physique and interrogate him to uncover the secret to his powerful body!

"Little brother, wait for me, I'll be right back."

Xiang Wan quickly nodded and handed over the bundle he had thrown on the ground earlier.

Third Brother, you have to be strong! If you can't handle the martial arts, we still have barbecue to tempt you.

Under Xiang Wan's expectant gaze, Bai San straightened his back, took about ten steps forward, and then stopped.

Xiang Wan was still wondering if the third brother had left something behind when she heard a sorrowful and aggrieved voice cry out, "Brother, need any help?"

Xiang Wan's chin was almost falling off to the ground. How could she do that?

Shi Cong calmly turned around, and the visual impact of his eight-pack abs was undeniable. Xiang Wan's eyes involuntarily glanced at him—what a perfect physique! She wondered what it would feel like to touch it!

System: ...The host has unleashed his true nature, it's unbearable to look at!

Not only was Xiang Wan's gaze fixed on Shi Cong, but Bai San was no exception.

Damn it, eight yuan is nothing special?

That's fucking amazing! If he goes back with those eight pieces on his head, wouldn't all the females be at his disposal? It's practically a killer move to seduce females and intimidate males.

Take it back! We absolutely must take it back!

Stimulated by Shi Cong's eight-pack abs, Bai San subconsciously forgot to distinguish the distinctive features of the orc race, his mind preoccupied with how to bring people into the race without letting the other females see them.

"Do you need any help?"

When he spoke again, Bai San's tone was firm. He hadn't considered what would happen if the other person got angry and beat him up.

Shi Cong glanced at Bai San, then turned his gaze to Xiang Wan, before walking directly towards her.

Bai San, who was being ignored, turned red in the face: This is too damn bullying of the orcs! He was standing right here, and they didn't even see him!

As Shi Cong drew closer, the snowflakes clinging to his body melted into water, trickling down his muscles. With each step, an aura of asceticism emanated from him.

Damn, that's too unfair. It's one thing to be handsome and dashing, but to have such a great body is another. How are the others supposed to compete?

Before she knew it, Xiang Wan had been looking at it for a while, and a warm liquid started to trickle down her nose.

The system covered its face; this wasn't the host it recognized!

Seeing his youngest brother so useless, Bai San was so disappointed in him that he wanted to pack Xiang Wan up and hide her in the ground. She was so obsessed with a man that she got a nosebleed. That's all she was good for!

Seeing Shi Cong getting closer, Bai San stepped aside, blocking Xiang Wan's view from behind: "Hey, I'm talking to you!"

There was another brother watching from behind, so he couldn't back down, or he'd be laughed at to death when he got back.

Shi Cong looked up, scanning Bai San from head to toe, then reached out to help him to the side. But when he touched Bai San's arm, he suddenly changed his mind, patted his arm, and said in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Brother, I really need your help with something."

Standing before Shi Cong, Bai San inexplicably felt three points shorter, and involuntarily took a step back, awkwardly saying, "Conditions!"

Bai San wasn't stupid. He could tell that the other party clearly had designs on his younger brother (he glanced at him and took a few steps, it was unclear how he figured out the designs). If he had to betray his brother, he would never do such a thing, even if it meant his life depended on it.

Shi Cong raised an eyebrow. He had just said he would help, so how did it turn into him asking for help?

Bai San wasn't particularly tall; in the beastman world, he was considered average, around 1.8 meters. But Shi Cong was a full head taller than Bai San. Even if Bai San stood right in front of Shi Cong, Xiang Wan could still see Shi Cong's entire face.

Seeing Shi Cong staring intently at Bai San, Xiang Wan involuntarily straightened up. If the two were to fight, she decided she should side with her brother; she couldn't let beauty cloud her judgment and cause her to forget her brother!

Shi Cong glanced at Xiang Wan, then looked down at Bai San and said, "Excuse me, could you please move aside? My package is still over there."

Bai San's face immediately turned as red as a boiled shrimp. It turned out that he had been deluding himself all along.

Bah! He can't be overthinking it; the orc in front of him is just putting on a good act. Otherwise, why would he keep staring at his youngest brother?

Trying to change the subject or use a diversionary tactic? No way!

"Excuse me, I'm just standing here. If you're so capable, try going around me!"

He simply refused to believe that the orc really had a package over there!
