Xiang Wan rushed to calm Hu Bao down before the crowd gathered, preventing the tribe's beastmen from harming it out of ignorance. Of course, she was even more afraid that Hu Bao might be provoked and injure one of the tribesmen.

The hunters who hadn't left the hunting party explained Hu Bao's origins to their tribesmen. Bai Niu, who had rushed over, knew what had happened as soon as he saw his four cubs. He grabbed Bai San, dragged him to a nearby thatched hut, and gave him a good beating.

Amidst his howls, the polar bear arranged for Shi Cong and Hu Lai to be positioned in the very center of the settlement for easy surveillance. As for the saber-toothed leopard, Xiang Wan was assigned to look after it.

The females who were secretly observing all of this were also furious with Bai San, and needless to say, they secretly beat him up.

With food and a powerful guardian beast, the tribe discussed holding a grand celebration three days from now.

It's supposed to be a celebration, with meat to eat and a secure livelihood, but isn't it just another disguised matchmaking event? Xiang Wan already knew this all along, but she still didn't really like these kinds of gatherings. Orcs weren't so particular; if they were in the mood, they'd just find a patch of grass and have their fun—it was commonplace. But to her, it was still a bit of an eyesore.

However, Old Man Bai privately approached her again, implying that it was time for her to find a mate and urging her to quickly find a female to pair up with.

This earnest concern about her son not being able to find a spouse sounds a little heartbreaking. If Bai Niu knew that she was planning to matchmake Shi Cong and Bai San, she couldn't even imagine what her future would be like!

Furthermore, the eldest and second eldest siblings are still single, so is it appropriate for her, the youngest, to find a partner so early? The white cow's explanation was that no female would be interested in men like them.

Xiang Wan was speechless; it was as if she was somehow popular.

Meeting Old Man Bai's earnest gaze, Xiang Wan nodded helplessly. It was just for show; he might not even be interested in her anyway. Why bother arguing with an old man who seemed to be going through premature menopause?

Xiang Wan also made up her mind that no matter what, she had to keep a close eye on Hu Lai and not let her cause trouble.
