"So many days have passed already, why don't we stop looking and go back first?" Bi Quan took a sip of water, her tone full of reluctance.
Nana had promised him that they would get married once this matter was over, but now that he was being held captive by Bai Jing, the matter had been indefinitely postponed.
Upon hearing this, Bai Jing stared at him coldly.
The firelight illuminated half of his face, and sparks suddenly exploded, hitting Bi Quan's face and making him cry out in pain.
"As long as we haven't found Wanwan, we must keep searching."
Bi Quan wiped her face, and the resentment that Bai Jing had been holding in for the past few days slowly overflowed: "Then go find her! What's the use of dragging me along? How am I supposed to know where she ran off to!"
Bai Jing didn't respond, and Bi Quan couldn't help but raise her voice: "Isn't it enough that you know she's safe now? Besides, she's your partner, not mine. Why do you have to drag her out to help you look for her during the off-season!"
Bai Jing's face grew even colder. Seeing this, one of He Yin's companions quickly shut up Bi Quan's incessant chatter, smoothing things over by saying, "Alright, alright, the little female's safety is the most important thing! Bi Quan, you're the one who lost the female, so of course you have a responsibility to help find her!"
"Why not just come out and look for her again during the hot season? The female isn't in any danger right now. Even if she dies, the tribe won't kick you out just because you've become an abandoned animal!"
Bi Quan wanted to say something more, but after glancing at Bai Jing's expression, she couldn't help but add, "It made me miss the clan leader selection!" before she reluctantly shut her mouth.
The selection of the new clan chief took place two days after the fruit-picking competition. Several days have passed since then, and it is estimated that the new clan chief has already been selected.
If Yu Wanwan hadn't gotten into trouble, Bai Jing would definitely have won the clan leader title if he had participated in the clan leader selection, but now he can only regretfully miss it.
Everyone began to rest.
Bi Quan was awakened in the middle of the night by the urge to urinate.
He rubbed his eyes, groggily crawled out, and prepared to find a place to relieve himself.
But before he had gone far from the cave, a cold tail wrapped tightly around his neck. Bi Quan's face turned red as he was silently dragged away by the tail.
Meanwhile, in the White Tiger tribe, Nana was feasting.
She lay in bed as her partners brought her food and drinks, feeding them to her mouth one by one.
Opposite her sat Xing Ji and Sanqiao.
Sanqiao wore a necklace of animal teeth around his neck, which was the symbol of the new clan leader.
He tore off a piece of the tenderest meat and held it to Nana's lips, saying ingratiatingly, "Nana, you're so clever! You actually came up with such a great idea!"
Xing Ji laughed loudly: "Of course, Nana is my daughter!"
Nana ate the piece of meat and sneered disdainfully, "It's all because Bai Jing is stupid that he actually paired up with that useless female."
Ever since learning about Bai Jing's awakening, Xing Ji has been constantly worried that Bai Jing will become the next clan leader. After worrying about this for quite some time, Nana came up with a brilliant idea.
That is to use the fruit-picking competition to get rid of Bai Jing's little female.
Given Bai Jing's personality, he would definitely go out to search.
If Bai Jing focuses all his energy on finding females, he will definitely miss the selection of the clan leader.
Even if the female is found later, Bai Jing will still be ineligible for the position of clan leader.
Xing Ji was very satisfied with this method. Not only did it leave behind an awakened beastman, but it also did not threaten his future life. He immediately decided to cooperate with Nana to start scheming against Yu Wanwan and Bai Jing.
As expected, Bai Jing missed the clan leader selection because he was looking for a female, and Sanqiao got his wish and took the position.
However, Xing Ji was still somewhat uneasy. He asked, "After all, she is a precious female. What if she dies?"
Nana said, "So what if she died? She was just a female. What's more important than the position of chief? As our tribe grows bigger and bigger, will we still have to worry about not having females?"
Xing Ji nodded: "That makes sense."
Just then, one of Nana's companions handed her a drink of water. She looked arrogant and made large movements, bumping into the leaves that held the water. The icy water immediately soaked Nana's animal skin skirt.
Nana's expression immediately changed, and she slapped her partner's cheek with such force that the man's handsome face swelled up visibly.
"Useless trash, can't even feed them water properly!"
"Nana, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please don't be angry." The male knelt at Nana's feet, begging for forgiveness.
Clan Chief Xing Ji waved his hand impatiently: "Alright, alright, stop getting in my way and get out of here."
The male withdrew, and Nana changed her clothes with the help of the other males before continuing, "What we need to do now is to remain still. If the female is found, that's fine. If she isn't found, just tell Bai Jing that he can stay in the tribe. If he becomes an abandoned beast, I won't despise him. He can be my thirteenth beast husband."
"Haha, that's good!"
A cold wind blew in the middle of the night, and Yu Wanwan, without a cloak, shivered from the cold.
She couldn't help but move little by little towards Fei Han.
I miss the time I spent huddled under Fei Han's wings.
After the cold wind stopped blowing, the snow started falling again. This time, the snowflakes were very large, and they seemed to be getting heavier. In no time, Yu Wanwan's head was covered in a blanket of white snow, while Fei Han was covered in snow that was almost like a small mountain.
Yu Wanwan quickly brushed the snowflakes off Fei Han's body. After she finished, her fair hands were already red from the cold.
Yu Wanwan rubbed her hands together and breathed on them.
