Chapter 831 Extra 8
She first had her younger children bring more fresh berries and honey water to entertain the guests, then winked at her three displeased children and led them into the next room.
After closing the door to block the view from the living room, Bai Wanwan asked, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
The three tall male cubs exchanged glances, and the eldest frowned as he spoke: "Mom, we really didn't bring her back! She followed us all the way here, and we couldn't shake her off!"
"Following you?" Bai Wanwan looked at the male cubs' handsome faces, which resembled their father's, and asked with a smile, "Then... do you like her? What do you think of her?"
The three heads immediately shook like rattles.
The eldest son's face showed obvious disgust: "Mom, don't be fooled by her appearance now! The first time we saw her, she was whipping her mate with a thorny vine. The male's back was covered in bloody welts, but she was laughing happily!"
Bai Wanwan's eyes darkened slightly.
She patted Xiongzai on the shoulder, already having a plan in mind: "Mom understands. You two go ahead and do your own things, I'll handle this."
The three adult male cubs visibly breathed a sigh of relief.
They had long been taught to respect females and not to lay a hand on them, so they felt frustrated and helpless when faced with such a persistent and ill-behaved female.
As soon as they left the small hall, Yan Lie strode in from outside, a smile of excitement on his face. "Wanwan! I heard the boys brought back a pretty little female? Not bad, those kids! They've finally come to their senses."
"Shh! Keep your voice down." Bai Wanwan pulled him over and walked to a side window that connected to the living room. There was a woven curtain hanging there, and you could vaguely see what was happening in the living room. "Don't get too excited yet."
"What do you mean?" Yan Lie followed her gaze.
In the living room, she, Yan Lie, and Xin Feng's first litter of adult male cubs were carrying their prey into the house.
Its vibrant energy and outstanding appearance, befitting the offspring of a top predator, instantly attracted the attention of females.
The young female sat up almost immediately, her previously languid posture becoming deliberate and reserved. Her gaze swept intensely over the several distinctive yet equally outstanding young faces, as if selecting merchandise, from the prominent brow bones to the broad shoulders, from the strong arms to the lean waists...
Her lips couldn't help but curve upwards, and her eyes flashed with undisguised amazement and calculation.
This family... has so many outstanding males!
Her heart raced, and a greedy thought raced through her mind: perhaps she could take all these outstanding males!
Bai Wanwan returned to the living room with a composed gait, her face once again displaying an impeccable, gentle smile. She didn't beat around the bush, getting straight to the point:
"Little female, you like my male cub, don't you?"
The young female hadn't expected her to be so direct. She glanced at the room full of handsome males and felt a little shy.
"They are all fine."
Bai Wanwan's smile remained unchanged as she followed up, "Oh? Then... which one do you prefer?"
This question made the young female raise her head slightly, her gaze involuntarily drifting towards the most outstanding males, a hint of greed flashing in her eyes as she struggled to choose.
"I...I think they are all very good, I like them all."
Upon hearing this, Bai Wanwan tilted her head slightly and said in a tone as if she were simply stating that the weather was nice, "Oh? That's really unfortunate. The ones you've chosen already have their chosen wives. They just haven't had a ceremony yet."
"What?" The young female's shyness froze instantly, and she blurted out, "Why...why didn't they tell me?" Her tone was full of reproach.
Bai Wanwan's smile remained unchanged as she calmly asked, "So, have they ever told you that they want to be your partner?"
The young female was speechless for a moment, opening her mouth but unable to utter a sound.
Throughout the entire encounter, those males never gave her a kind look, except for their impatience and attempts to drive her away.
Seeing that she was choking, Bai Wanwan did not press her, but just watched her leisurely.
The young female quickly figured it out, since there were so many excellent males here anyway!
His gaze shifted and he noticed several young men beside him who, though somewhat inexperienced, were equally outstanding.
She pointed at them hastily: "Then... what about them? These guys don't have wives yet, right?" Bai Wanwan almost laughed out of anger.
This is like treating her outstanding children like fresh fruits and vegetables at the market, replacing one with another if one doesn't work out, and planning to keep having them one after another.
Before Bai Wanwan could answer, the soon-to-be-adult male cubs, as if their tails had been stepped on, shouted in unison with unwavering resolve, "No way!"
The young female's face darkened, filled with anger and frustration.
She thought to herself: It's okay, as long as she can coax the mother and mother to agree, she can take them back and teach them a lesson.
She quickly adjusted her expression, putting on an even sweeter and more obedient smile, and turned to Bai Wanwan, her tone ingratiating and reassuring: "Auntie, don't worry, as long as you're willing to let them be my partners, I'll definitely treat them well in the future!"
Bai Wanwan listened quietly, and even picked up the freshly squeezed juice on the table and took a sip.
The sweet taste melted in her mouth. She put down the cup, looked up at the expectant young woman, her lips still holding that faint smile, but her voice was clear and unwavering:
"I'm afraid... it still won't work."
The young female's smile froze completely, as if a crack had suddenly appeared in an exquisite mask: "Why...why?"
She couldn't understand why, despite her superior looks and fertility, her proactive advances were met with such a decisive rejection!
Bai Wanwan's eyes met hers, taking in the anger within them.
Without any further detours, each word, calm yet weighty, said: "Because your fertility is insufficient."
"What?" The young female's voice suddenly rose as if she had been hit where it hurt, her carefully maintained docile and sweet demeanor vanished, replaced by disbelief and offended anger. "I have superior fertility! How could it not be enough?"
This is almost every proud female's most prized asset, and also her greatest source of confidence in choosing males.
Bai Wanwan met her angry gaze with an air of authority, "My male offspring are exceptionally gifted and possess outstanding bloodlines. Only the Holy Female can mate with them."
The words "Holy Female" struck like a thunderbolt, draining the color from the young woman's face, leaving it pale and bluish-white.
Seeing the other person's unpleasant expression, Bai Wanwan did not soften her heart for the sake of her children's happiness.
"Little female, it's getting late. Our tiger clan will not neglect our guests. The tribe will arrange safe lodging for you to stay overnight. Please leave with your beastmen at dawn tomorrow."
The young female was intimidated by the unintentional aura emanating from her and was momentarily at a loss for words.
When she came to her senses in a daze, she found that she had unconsciously left the big house.
The living room fell silent again, with only family members remaining.
The male offspring visibly breathed a sigh of relief, but their faces still showed signs of frustration from being pestered.
Bai Wanwan walked to the head seat and sat down. Her gaze swept over the young faces of the children, and her tone softened: "Come and sit down, everyone."
The children obediently gathered around.
“You all saw what happened just now.” Bai Wanwan’s voice was clear. “What I want to tell you today is that when you look for a partner in the future, the first thing to look at is not how powerful her tribe is, nor how beautiful or dazzling she is.”
She looked into the children's eyes: "The most important thing is that she must be genuinely good to you. This kind of goodness is not just talk, nor is it about giving you a lot of things, but about respecting you, caring for you, and being willing to share the burdens and work hard with you. Like that one just now, you all saw how she treated her previous partner. Even if a female like that tries to please you for a while, her nature will not change."
“Mom, but there are very few holy women in the tribe, and I don’t like any of them…”
Bai Wanwan chuckled, "Mom said that to drive her away. You can just choose the female you like, regardless of whether she is a holy female or not, or even if she is infertile. Mom can help you."
The young boys listened with a mixture of understanding and confusion, Bai Wanwan's gentle voice melting into the twilight outside the window.
She hopes that her children will also have a lifelong partner to accompany and support each other.
May you be as happy as she is!
