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

Chapter 824 Extra 1
Years later, Roger's figure would always appear unexpectedly on the edge of Bai Wanwan's life.

Like a pre-set trajectory, except for an insurmountable distance, he stubbornly appeared in every place she could see.

This time, as usual, he brought some rare sweet fruits and soft animal hides, and even played rattan ball with the cubs playing in the yard for a while before leaving.

The cubs were familiar with him and chattered around him, calling him "Uncle Luo Ye".

After playing around, he turned his head and saw Bai Wanwan standing in front of the door, leaning against it, as if she was looking at him.

My heart pounded, as if it were about to burst out of my chest.

Blood rushed to his head, and an invisible force pulled him, causing him to unconsciously take a step in that direction.

One step, two steps.

As the distance shortened, the figure that filled his entire being became clearer.

However, two tall figures reappeared, flanking her from the left and right.

The invisible barrier of possessiveness emanating from them, along with their cold gaze, effectively suppressed all his desire to move forward.

It will always be like this.

He couldn't openly approach her identity; it was a boundary he could never truly cross.

A deep sense of self-mockery and bitterness inevitably crept into his eyes.

But before that emotion could spread, he suddenly froze.

From that distance, he seemed to see her leaning against the door, the corners of her lips turning up very slightly and very quickly, as if... she was giving him a faint smile?
Is it an illusion?

He desperately wanted to confirm, but when he looked again, her face had returned to calm, and she had even turned and gone into the house with her beastmen, leaving only an empty porch and a heart that suddenly felt weightless.

Inside the stone house, Xin Feng gently placed a glass of freshly squeezed, still cool juice into Bai Wanwan's hand. His gaze drifted thoughtfully across the window, past the direction where Roger had just stood, now empty, and he asked softly, "It seems like he comes every day these past few days?"

Yan Lie, standing beside him with his arms crossed and leaning against a stone pillar, snorted softly through his nose upon hearing this, his eyes swirling with complex and unreadable emotions: "He doesn't have the guts to admit who he is, but he's always hanging around in front of the kids, offering some half-hearted flattery."

His tone was a mixture of habitual displeasure, a lingering resentment, and... a disappointment that even he himself might not have realized.

Bai Wanwan had already told the beastmen everything about Roger, including how he gave them the energy stone in the apocalypse and how he silently guided them in the Glacier Forest.

After learning about these past events, they ultimately chose to collectively acquiesce and silently observe Roger's endless yet safe-distance lingering.

As long as he doesn't cross the line or pose a real threat, and Wanwan doesn't show any sign of annoyance or wanting to drive him away, they all tacitly turn a blind eye.

Yan Lie looked at her serene profile, then suddenly stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace.

He lowered his head, his hot breath brushing against her earlobe, his voice muffled, carrying undisguised possessiveness and jealousy:
"Wanwan," he rubbed the top of her head, his question direct yet hesitant, "What...what are you planning to do? That Roger...do you really want him to be your beastly husband too?"

This question has actually been weighing heavily on the minds of males for a long time.

Over the years, they have accompanied Wanwan to many places, large and small tribes, and have seen all kinds of orcs.

Wanwan was so dazzling that even after giving birth to so many offspring, time and hardship seemed to have been exceptionally kind to her. Her appearance and figure remained as beautiful as a young adult female, and she even possessed a captivating charm and the radiance of wisdom.

Young, arrogant men, unaware of their own limitations, were drawn to her radiance and boldly courted her, even proposing marriage. The number of suitors they met and dismissed was countless. Yet, no matter how handsome, brave, or passionate their suitors were, Wanwan's heart remained as still as a deep pool, never stirred by even the slightest ripple.

This put them at ease.

Only Roger is different.

He is like an old scar that can never be erased, and a complex entanglement with Wanwan that cannot be completely severed.

His atonement, his protection, his years of silent and persistent dedication—every little thing they saw.

Deep down, they had already reluctantly prepared themselves to accept the "worst" outcome.

Emotionally, in the male's most instinctive and exclusive territory, no one really wants another powerful being to share the gaze, smile, and companionship of their beloved female.

That means the precious time they spend together will be divided again, and her attention will be further diverted.

Bai Wanwan remained silent, holding the cumbersome juice in her hand. Xin Feng came forward, took the juice she had just taken two sips from away from her, and wiped away the spilled juice for her.

Bai Wanwan looked up at him and noticed that Xin Feng seemed to be waiting for her to speak as well.

Bai Wanwan knew she couldn't avoid this.

“I did…have thought that way.” Her voice was soft, but every word was clear. “But if none of you can accept him, then let it go. You and this family are the most important things to me.”

Xin Feng pursed his lips and looked at her face without saying a word.

Yan Lie's heart skipped a beat, and a huge, almost ecstatic sense of relief surged up inside him!

Wanwan puts them first!
She was willing to give up that possible option for their sake!

However, before this joy could fully blossom, it collided with her eyes, clear as stars, as if they could see into the depths of his heart.

There was no probing, no resentment, only complete honesty and a faint, elusive complexity.

The ecstasy receded like a tide, leaving behind an even more turbulent entanglement and... a trace of reluctance.

He suddenly remembered what Roger had been like all these years.

That once obsessive and crazy male is now like the clumsiest craftsman, carefully using time and actions to gradually smooth out all the potentially hurtful edges on himself, just so he can stay within the area where she is.

He recalled the way he looked at Wanwan, the suppressed longing and humility that still leaked from her eyes, like a drowning person gazing at the stars.

I remember him bringing things time and time again, playing with the cubs, and then leaving alone.

After persisting for so many years, it seems... rather pathetic.

And what about Taiwan?

Based on his understanding of Wanwan, he knew that Wanwan wouldn't "have ideas" easily.

Since she said that, it's very likely that she has already developed feelings for Roger!
If Roger is left forever outside the line because of his words and their collective reluctance, and the acceptance that has already sprouted in Wanwan's heart is extinguished... would Wanwan really be happy?
