As soon as the few surviving orcs left, Yu Feng grabbed Bi Xie's wrist and said angrily, "Who told you to talk to them like that?"

Doesn't she know how charming she is? Like a fairy walking in the jungle, she even gives those male beastmen a sweet smile. Is she trying to get more male partners?

The boy felt bitter inside, but his anger was written all over his face.

Bi Xie raised an eyebrow, teasing him deliberately, "How did I speak to them?"

He choked on the wind, his handsome face flushed slightly, and he stared intently at her, silently pursing his lips.

"Good brother~", Bi Xie smiled, "Is that so?"

Her calling him "good brother" only fueled Yu Feng's anger. The young man pursed his thin lips tightly, lightly patted her bottom with his hand, and said in a slightly hoarse voice, "From now on, you're only allowed to call me 'good brother.' You're not allowed to talk to any other males, or I'll make sure you can't get out of bed..."

Bi Xie tiptoed, interrupting the boy's incessant lecturing, and lightly kissed him with his lips, "It's good that you're alright."

The anger that filled him suddenly vanished when he encountered the wind.

He deepened the kiss with his eyelashes lowered, and hummed softly, "I won't let anything happen to you and my sister. You don't need to distract him; I'll find the opportunity myself..."

Bi Xie chuckled sullenly, glancing at the several wolf carcasses on the ground, his bright eyes flickering slightly.

She knew, of course, that she didn't need to use any divisive tactics; Yu Feng could save her and Luo Ling. However, if she forced him to take drastic measures, there would only be a few more wolf corpses on the pristine snow.

They have no plans to move for the time being; the sight of so many wolf carcasses lying in front of their house is still a bit unsettling.

The two didn't linger for long. Bi Xie helped Luo Ling into the cave, while Yu Feng dragged the wolf carcasses outside the cave to another location.

Although Yuan Sang took advantage of the Nanling Wolf Clan, he did not lie about one thing: this winter was exceptionally long.

After the wolf clan chief led his people back to Nanling Mountain, he worried that Yu Feng would retaliate against the tribe, so he led his people away from Nanling Mountain in a panic.

The entire Nanling wolf tribe migrated, but Yu Feng was unaware of this.

The cellar had enough food, so the boy didn't need to go hunting. He stayed by Luo Ling and Bi Xie's side every day, afraid that if he wasn't careful, another male would run in and kidnap them.

The three of them lived a carefree life, eating and drinking, building snowmen and enjoying the snow scenery, completely unaware that the outside world was in dire straits.

Changhao's appetite grew larger and larger. After stealing food from the Nanling Wolf Clan, he went to visit the Wushui Wolf Clan and the Rabbit Clan, causing chaos in both tribes.

A month later, another blizzard struck.

The world was covered in snow and trees, a silvery white expanse, but this was also the beginning of nightmares for many orcs.

Changhao took away more and more food from the tribes, and the tribes began to devour each other and even exchange children for food. The bloodshed was hidden in the white snow.

The swirling snowflakes couldn't conceal the heart-wrenching, excruciating screams.

Some tribal chiefs discussed uniting to exterminate the giant serpent, but Changhao had already advanced to a four-star soul beast at some point. Several tribes attacked him together, but he ended up eating them instead.

During this long winter, clusters of snowflakes seemed to reflect a bloody light.

Countless tribes perished in this white winter. Countless orcs froze and starved to death. Before their bodies could be buried by the snowflakes, they were fought over and eaten by a group of hungry orcs with eyes gleaming green.

The message eventually reached the Forest of Withered Bones, and the messenger was none other than Qiu Ning.

Her arrogant demeanor was gone; her face had thinned, and her body was filthy.

Bi Xie noticed her slightly protruding belly.

However, she did not have a male partner.

"Yu Feng, please save us! Please, please save us! Only you can kill that giant snake, please..." Qiu Ning's eyes were red as she pleaded with the sharp and cold-blooded young man, tears streaming down her face.

Yu Feng glanced indifferently at Qiu Ning, then turned back to continue drinking the fragrant meat soup in his wooden bowl.

The aroma of food filled the entire cave, but Qiu Ning suddenly clutched her throat and began to gag violently. Soon, a pool of filth appeared on the ground, much of it consisting of unchewed chunks of meat...

Staring at the chunks of meat on the ground, Qiu Ning suddenly clutched her throat and burst into tears, digging two fingers deep into her throat and gagging desperately.

Bi Xie frowned as he watched Qiu Ning continue to feel nauseous and vomit. At first, he thought it was just a normal reaction to pregnancy, but after a while, he realized something was wrong.

The filth that Qiu Ning vomited even contained teeth and hair...

Luo Ling saw it too, and immediately screamed in fright.

Qiu Ning, her eyes red and swollen, knelt before the three of them, dragging herself forward a few steps, tears streaming down her face. "Yu Feng, if you don't save everyone, the entire continent is doomed..."

"It was all my fault before, I'm sorry for what I did. You can hit me, scold me, even take my life, I beg you to save this continent. This is Ada's dying wish. Yufeng, I beg you to avenge my people!"

“Ada and his tribe are all dead, and Mengshu was also captured and eaten by other orcs. My male mate escorted me all the way to the Bone Forest. In order to live and see you, I... I ate them…”

ah--

Luo Ling gasped softly, "Qiu... Qiu Ning, what did you say? You... you ate your partner?"

Qiu Ning covered her eyes in despair, tears streaming down her face, her body trembling uncontrollably.

Yu Feng remained silent, and Bi Xie also kept quiet.

Under Luo Ling's questioning, Qiu Ning revealed the current situation in the outside world.

Orcs kill and eat each other, and the rule that soul beasts cannot kill each other has long been abolished. Many weak tribes have been slaughtered, and the corpses scattered on the snow are eaten by the starving orcs before they are completely cold.

This is not a white winter, but a scarlet hell.

Everyone wants to live, even if it means losing themselves!

Luo Ling was completely frightened by Qiu Ning's words, her heart was in turmoil, and her mind was in complete chaos.

They live in the pristine forest of withered bones, completely unaware of the smoke and fire outside.

Bi Xie's eyes flickered as he looked at Yu Feng.

The boy remained unmoved, chewing a piece of meat, his voice devoid of emotion: "What do I care if they live or die? I'm not a savior."

Even if the entire continent were destroyed, he only needed to protect the people he cared about.

Changhao...

How did he become like this?

"You...you really intend to stand by and watch us die?" Qiu Ning glared at him with a ferocious look, her dark eyes even tinged with bloodlust. "You think you're safe hiding in the Bone Forest? Sooner or later, you'll be caught in the crossfire! I'll be waiting for that day, hahaha—"
