The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 719 I convinced myself
Two consciousnesses, sharing one body, experiencing the same torment of unrequited love.

"Try to think positively," Ember Shadow's voice rarely carried a hint of consolation, even though this consolation applied equally to himself. "What if... you don't disappear? What if we can coexist like this forever? We can... protect her together."

Jin Ying (Fu Jinshen) turned his head and looked at the tightly closed door.

Does he really have a chance to stay by Wanwan's side forever?

***

Bai Wanwan hurried downstairs and immediately sensed an unusually tense atmosphere in the living room.

Although it wasn't as tense as it had been upstairs, there was an unspoken silence and a subtle, oppressive atmosphere in the air.

The males sat in their usual spots, wiping utensils, grooming their fur, or simply gazing out the window in a daze, rarely exchanging words with each other.

She knew that this mistake was different from the past. If she were in her husbands' shoes, she probably wouldn't have been able to accept it so easily either, since they had been intimate with other females after drinking.

Putting herself in her shoes, she felt that her crime was exceptionally grave.

Only Yan Lie, Hua Han, and Yin Ze were in the living room at that moment.

Yan Lie was holding a whetstone, vigorously sharpening his stone knife, making a harsh "ch-ch" sound; Hua Han leaned against the window, playing with a feather, looking somewhat listless, unlike his usual lively self; Yin Ze was the calmest, sitting by the fire pit, quietly whittling a wooden stick, but the slightly pursed corners of his lips still betrayed that he was not entirely without emotion.

These men are among the more emotionally expressive and easier to appease in the household.

They all look like this, I can't even imagine what the others are like...

Bai Wanwan took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and walked towards them as naturally as possible.

She first went to Yan Lie's side, sat down next to him, and gently pressed his arm as he was sharpening a knife.

"Yan Lie..." she called him, her voice soft and unusually ingratiating.

Yan Lie paused, and the ear-piercing friction sound stopped. He still didn't look at her, but the tense muscles in his arms relaxed slightly.

"Are you still angry?" Bai Wanwan leaned closer and rubbed her cheek against his strong arm. "It's my fault, I got drunk and messed things up. Don't get angry at yourself."

Yan Lie is stubborn but soft-hearted, and he especially can't stand her acting weak and coquettish.

He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking in a muffled voice, his tone hard but softening: "Wanwan, this time... this time it's my fault too. I didn't keep an eye on you and gave that guy a chance."

He turned to look at her, his eyes filled with more regret than blame. "I don't blame you, really. I'm just... just confused and can't get over it right away. But... I'll try to accept it."

He spoke the last sentence with some difficulty, but with unusual seriousness.

Bai Wanwan felt a warmth in her heart, but also a pang of guilt. Just as she was about to say something, Hua Han also came over from the other side.

Hua Han hugged her waist from behind, rested his chin on her shoulder, and said in a muffled voice with a hint of coquettish grievance, "Wanwan, I don't care how many beast husbands you have... Anyway, you can't forget me in the future. You have to think of me often and spend more time with me, okay?"

He didn't mention Jin Ying directly, but instead used a smarter approach to emphasize that his position in her heart could not be shaken.

Bai Wanwan was held on either side of them, and before she could even comfort herself, they had already calmed her down.

The guilt in my heart was almost overflowing.

What makes her so special that she has such a group of men who first look for the reasons within themselves, try to process their emotions, and are unwilling to blame her?
She couldn't help but turn her head and kiss Yan Lie's still strong but softened cheek, then turned back and gently kissed Hua Han's lips as she leaned in.

“You are all the males I love, and you are all very important to me. How could I forget you? Of course I will always think of you and stay with you.” She made a serious promise, her eyes gentle yet firm.

After being kissed and comforted by her gentle words, Yan Lie's expression was still a little awkward, but his eyes had already lit up. Hua Han immediately beamed, tightened her arms around her, and nuzzled her neck: "Wanwan, you're so good."

Bai Wanwan, who originally intended to coax them, felt like she was the one being coaxed instead.

While moved, she also breathed a slight sigh of relief and turned her gaze to Yin Ze, who had been sitting quietly by the fire pit.

Yin Ze felt her gaze, looked up, gave her a slight, tolerant smile, shook his head to indicate that he was fine and didn't need her to comfort him.

Just then, a noise came from the direction of the kitchen.

Jiaoyin, Jinyi, and Xinfeng carried out large pots of fragrant, steaming roasted meat and stewed root soup, and began to set them on the table.

Bai Wanwan's gaze unconsciously swept over the males, and her heart skipped a beat.

I didn't see Chief Rong or Zhu Xiu.

She immediately looked at Xin Feng, who was carefully setting down the soup bowl, and asked, "Xin Feng, where are Qiu Rong and Zhu Xiu? Aren't they... going to eat?"

Xin Feng paused slightly, looked up at her, his eyes calm and his tone ordinary: "They just went out together. The tribe has been busy lately, so they might be back later. Let us eat first."

“They’ve gone out…” Bai Wanwan murmured repeatedly, her heart sinking.

Her worst fears came true.

The two people in the family who are the hardest to "please" are also the two most authoritative and who value rules and promises the most.

This made Bai Wanwan feel more uneasy and stressed than direct angry accusations.

What should she do?
Should we take the initiative to reach out to them?

But they are clearly deliberately avoiding it. Would it be counterproductive to talk about it now?

Should we wait for them to process it on their own?
But the longer it drags on, won't the rift deepen?
Just then, steady footsteps came from the stairs.

All the males in the living room instinctively looked up.

Ember Shadow walked down from upstairs, meeting all eyes.

He was already dressed neatly, his long hair was tied back, revealing his sharp and cold face.

His steps were steady, his back straight, but when his eyes met the gazes of everyone in the living room, he paused almost imperceptibly before returning to his usual calm and undisturbed state.

However, the slight pursing of his lips betrayed a hint of his inner unease.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment.

Bai Wanwan's heart also jumped; she could feel the beastmen around her tense up instantly.

As she was pondering how to break the suffocating silence, Xin Feng, who was sitting on the other side of the fire pit, stood up.

Xin Feng wore a warm, comforting smile, his tone gentle and familiar, as if greeting a long-time family member.

"Jinying, you're down? Perfect timing, the food is just set out and we've been waiting for you. Come and sit here."

He pointed to an empty seat next to him; it wasn't a core position, but it certainly wasn't going to be neglected.
