Chapter 6: The Base Was Raided

Bai Wanwan realized she was still unclothed and hurriedly covered herself, crouching down.

"Thank you, thank you. Actually, I'm fine; you don't need to worry about me."

"Mm."

After a soft grunt, he took a few steps onto the shore. Just as he was about to lift his foot to leave, he paused.

"The rainy season is approaching. Females shouldn't go into the water casually; it's dangerous if you catch a chill."

After saying this, he walked away without looking back.

Bai Wanwan shivered from the cold, quickly wiped the water off her body with her hands, and hurriedly put on her clothes.

When she looked up again, the male was already far away.

His features were so distinct that Bai Wanwan didn't even need to search her memory carefully to confirm his identity.

"Host, that orc's talent is quite good. You can have your next litter with him; you can receive a substantial reward."

"He suffered a severe injury, and his talent was destroyed..."

Bai Wanwan felt sorry for him.

The orc's name was Xin Feng. His father was a powerful male from an outside tribe who had sired him with his female mother.

After growing up, Xin Feng became the strongest warrior of the Cat Tribe.

Every time they went hunting, with him there, they would always return with a full load.

For many years, not a single orc had starved to death during the snow season.

But five years ago, an accident occurred.

The hunting party encountered an unprecedented fierce beast, and three males died. If it hadn't been for Xin Feng buying time for the other orcs to escape, the entire party would have been wiped out in that hunt.

But he paid a heavy price for protecting others.

When Xin Feng escaped back, he was already severely injured. The tribal shaman tried everything, treating him for half a month just to save his life.

From then on, his face was ruined, and he lost his talent.

The powerful male who had once been surrounded and adored by females gradually faded from everyone's sight.

"With me here, what are you afraid of? As long as you give birth to this litter and use the reward to exchange for medicine, you can restore him to normal."

"So heaven-defying? Is there anything you can't do?" Bai Wanwan's eyes sparkled.

Thinking about how it had said she could go back if she earned enough points, did that mean even the dead could be resurrected?

"As long as the host has enough points, you can even travel freely between parallel worlds."

"Really?"

Bai Wanwan got excited. If it were truly that heaven-defying, then the current difficulties were only temporary.

Her dream of a life of lying flat still had hope.

The air here was fresh, the trees were lush, and the scenery was beautiful.

If there was no shortage of supplies, and it seemed there was no shortage of handsome men either, living in a place like this for a lifetime seemed even happier than the rat race in modern society.

A cold wind blew, and Bai Wanwan shivered, quickly wrapping her clothes tighter around herself to head home.

Over the next few days, Bai Wanwan caught a bit of a cold and started sneezing.

The Xin brothers, Xin Shan and Xin Yu, tried to care for her, but Bai Wanwan didn't need it.

She was even a bit annoyed. That day, it was clear that Xin Yu liked Hu Ya.

Yet, three or four days had passed, and he had already tried to climb into her bed three times, which she found incredibly irritating.

She had originally intended to let these two tools help her with work for a few more days, but now, she just wanted to send them away.

On this day, she finally felt a bit better and wanted to go out for a walk to see if she could find a way to make her winter days easier.

Not long after she stepped out, she heard people talking around the corner at the end of the path.

"Xin Shan, Xin Yu, have you really fallen for Bai Wanwan?"

Hu Ya was crying, accusing the two of them.

Xin Yu put down his prey, wanting to step forward but holding back, looking flustered. "Ya Ya, I... Father won't let us be together."

Hu Ya looked up at him. "And you? Do you want to be with me?"

Xin Yu pursed his lips; he was struggling internally.

He actually wanted to live a good life with Wanwan. He was in his rut, but Bai Wanwan kept rejecting him.

"I want to... but I can't."

"Why can't you? As long as you agree, we'll go and mate immediately."

Xin Yu was truly tempted and turned to look at his brother.

Xin Shan's mood was also complicated, but he still refused. "Ya Ya, you already have six orc husbands. Wanwan only has us. Without us this snow season, she might not make it through."

"You worry about her, but don't you worry about me? I like you both, and the thought of you being with her makes me feel so sad."

Xin Shan looked at her tears, and his heart softened.

Hu Ya threw herself into Xin Shan's arms, crying, "Bai Wanwan has always liked to snatch things from me since we were little. It's only because I like you that she's clinging to you and won't let you go. She's so hateful!"

If you want to have an affair, have an affair, why the personal attacks?

Bai Wanwan was furious and walked straight out from around the corner.

Seeing her, the Xin brothers were so startled they immediately pushed Hu Ya away.

"Wanwan..."

Xin Yu called out guiltily, and Xin Shan also felt a bit annoyed; he shouldn't have been soft-hearted just now.

"Are you done with your work?"

She walked closer, arms crossed, moving slowly.

"Not yet, we're going right now."

The two brothers picked up the prey on the ground and hurriedly left the scene of the trouble.

Tools should act like tools. If they wanted to mess around with Hu Ya, they couldn't do it while using her name.

"Bai Wanwan, don't be smug. Xin Shan and Xin Yu don't like you at all. From childhood to now, they've only ever liked me."

She expected to see Bai Wanwan jumping in anger, but Bai Wanwan just smiled and said, "So what? It doesn't stop them from doing work for me."

Hu Ya was unwilling to give up. "You only have all this because the Chief is biased toward you."

Bai Wanwan scanned her up and down. "Isn't that how it should be? My fertility is higher than yours; isn't it natural for him to be biased toward me?"

Hu Ya was so angry her face turned red, and in the end, she couldn't say a word. She just glared at her fiercely and turned to run away.

Perhaps because she had suffered a loss at Bai Wanwan's hands, Hu Ya didn't confront her directly for the next few days.

Bai Wanwan was also busy, busy satisfying her own cravings.

After failing to catch fish and shrimp that day, she had been ordering the Xin brothers to go hunting and then go into the water to catch fish for her.

She finally managed to eat a few full meals.

In this era, the water quality was unpolluted, and even the fish and shrimp were sweet and delicious. She didn't even need seasonings; they were so fragrant she couldn't stop eating.

After finishing the last piece of fish, Bai Wanwan rubbed her full, round belly. "This is so good! If only I could freeze all this fish so I could eat it whenever I wanted."

The Xin brothers watched from the side, unable to understand. Those "bugs" in the water weren't even enough to fill the gaps in their teeth, and some had thorns that got stuck in their mouths. Why did the little female love them so much?

After eating and drinking her fill, Bai Wanwan went for her routine daily stroll.

The Xin brothers also planned to go hunting on the mountain, but who knew they would be called over by Hu Ya just as they stepped out of the stone cave.

"Xin Shan, Xin Yu..."

"Ya Ya, do you need something?" Xin Shan stood his ground rationally, not moving closer to her.

Hu Ya pursed her lips. "Can't I look for you if there's nothing wrong?"

Xin Yu quickly waved his hands. "Ya Ya, my brother didn't mean it like that."

Hu Ya then smiled. "I wanted to ask you for a favor. My orc husbands have all gone up the mountain, and I can't move these by myself."

Before Xin Shan could speak, Xin Yu had already agreed. "Alright, we'll help you."

Xin Shan had no choice but to follow.

Hu Ya's stone cave was smaller than Bai Wanwan's, but there was a lot of prey piled up in the outer room.

"You just need to help me lift them over there."

The two brothers bent down and exerted force together.

Who knew that after only a few steps, their bodies would start to heat up.

Soon, Xin Shan sensed something was wrong; a strong desire rose in his lower abdomen.

It was even more intense than during the rut.

Xin Yu's eyes turned red. "Ya Ya, I... I want..."

Hu Ya had personally used the Thorn Flower; of course, she knew what was happening.

"Xin Yu, whatever you want, I can give it to you."

Hu Ya walked toward the two brothers step by step.

Xin Shan shook his head hard, trying to clear his mind. "Xin Yu, our mate is Wanwan."

"No, I like Ya Ya."

When Hu Ya actively pressed herself against them, whether it was Xin Yu or Xin Shan, they both succumbed to the effects of the Thorn Flower.

When Bai Wanwan returned from her stroll, she heard the neighbor's cave starting up again in broad daylight.

Orcs didn't have many recreational activities, and this was common in the tribe; she had encountered it a few times while out walking.

"Xin Yu, you're so amazing!"

Bai Wanwan's footsteps faltered.

Xin Yu?
