Chapter 136: You’re Still Going to Risk Your Life for Me?

Chapter 136: Chapter 136: You’re Still Going to Risk Your Life for Me?

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to turn, Xin Feng tightened his grip on her hand. "Wanwan, you go inside first. I’m here. Don’t be afraid."

Seeing his serious expression, Bai Wanwan’s lips curled up. She smiled and said, "What, are you going to risk your life for me?"

Xin Feng led her by the hand toward the stone house. "I’m your Beast Husband. I’m supposed to protect you."

Bai Wanwan’s smile grew even brighter and more radiant. She squeezed his hand back. "Okay! I’ll let you know when I need you to protect me, but right now, there’s no need to risk your life."

Xin Feng raised an eyebrow and watched as Bai Wanwan turned to face the beastmen of the Black Dog Tribe.

Her gaze passed over the crowd and landed on Zhuo Ling. She asked lazily, "Do you also think I took the items?"

Zhuo Ling pursed her lips, hiding the hurt and sorrow in her eyes.

"Wanwan, you’re my good friend. I can’t believe you would do something like this..."

"Right," Bai Wanwan cut her off. "You see? Even Zhuo Ling believes me. These things mysteriously appeared at my door. If I really wanted to destroy them, why wouldn’t I just have my Beast Husband throw them into the forest? Why leave them here for you to find?"

The beastmen turned their not-so-bright minds to the problem. It seemed to make sense.

They looked toward Zhuo Ling and the males of the Golden Lion Tribe.

Zhuo Ling was a little annoyed at being cut off by Bai Wanwan. She quickly interjected, "These items were all personally selected by the Young Clan Leader. Now that they’re ruined like this, I don’t know how I’ll ever explain it to him."

At this point, Zhuo Ling turned back to Bai Wanwan. "Wanwan, can you tell us how these things ended up with you?"

Bai Wanwan crossed her arms. She didn’t deliberately contradict them and answered directly, "I woke up this morning and heard a noise at the door. When I went out to look, I saw this bundle."

Mu Shan already hated Bai Wanwan. Having finally found an opportunity, she was waiting for the males of the Golden Lion Tribe to cause trouble for Bai Wanwan and her Beast Husband.

But Zhuo Ling was proving useless and didn’t seem to plan on pursuing the matter.

She immediately spoke up, "Who’d believe you? You must have seen the Young Clan Leader of the Golden Lion Tribe give Zhuo Ling so many beautiful things yesterday. You were jealous and bitter, so you had your Beast Husband steal them in the middle of the night. You didn’t dare wear them out for people to see, so you deliberately ruined them."

Zhuo Ling frowned, looking as if she couldn’t believe it. "Wanwan, is that really what happened?"

Faced with such an accusation, Bai Wanwan remained completely relaxed. There wasn’t even a trace of anger on her face.

Zhuo Ling was extremely surprised. She had never seen a female like this before.

She even felt a faint sense of worry, but as for what she was worried about, she couldn’t say.

"So do you really believe that? First, you need to show your stance. Only then can I decide how to play my part."

Zhuo Ling didn’t quite understand what she meant, but the act had already progressed this far. She could only continue with it.

"Wanwan, I really want to believe you, but the items are right here at your home. Other than your Beast Husband, there doesn’t seem to be any male in the Black Dog Tribe who could have taken these things without alerting the males from the Golden Lion Tribe."

"No. Besides him, there’s you."

Zhuo Ling was stunned, her heart skipping a beat. ’Did Bai Wanwan guess?’

’No, she can’t be that smart.’

"Wanwan, you’ve hurt me so much. Would I really destroy the things Jin Yi gave me just to frame you? What’s in it for me?"

Bai Wanwan couldn’t figure that part out either. These dresses and accessories were all extremely valuable.

Would Zhuo Ling really spend so much just to frame her?

She must have something to gain, right? ’But what could it be...?’

"I thought of you as my best friend! These dresses are precious, and in the whole tribe, I only gave them to you and Shi Hua. Why would you destroy the things Jin Yi gave me?"

A few tears rolled from Zhuo Ling’s beautiful eyes. The males standing near her softened, including the ones from the Golden Lion Tribe.

The males who had originally started to feel favorable toward Bai Wanwan suddenly found their impression of her plummeting.

These were not dresses that females from a small tribe could ever hope to wear.

The Young Clan Leader had specially collected them as a gift for Zhuo Ling.

And the kind and generous female Zhuo Ling, seeing that her good friend liked them, had magnanimously given her four.

But this female wasn’t satisfied with just getting the dresses. She had to destroy the other things the Young Clan Leader gave to the female Zhuo Ling. She was truly a vicious and ugly female to the core.

"Bai Wanwan, we will report this matter to the Young Clan Leader when we return. You must compensate for all of these items."

Seeing that the males from the Golden Lion Tribe had spoken up for her, Zhuo Ling simply stopped talking.

"Fine. I hope you’ll give him a truthful report."

Bai Wanwan smiled and nodded at them, then ignored them and continued to look at Zhuo Ling.

"So you believe I stole your clothes and deliberately destroyed them, is that right?"

Zhuo Ling had wanted to gracefully fade into the background and let others take the lead, but Bai Wanwan had dragged her back into the spotlight.

Zhuo Ling had no choice but to bite the bullet and nod. "I don’t want to believe you did this, but the facts are right in front of us. Wanwan, you’ve disappointed me so much!"

"Alright, you all wait here."

After saying that, Bai Wanwan turned and went into the house.

Outside, the beastmen looked at each other, wondering what Bai Wanwan was up to.

Shi Hua also hurried into the house after her, her face etched with worry.

"Wanwan, those dresses and accessories are too valuable. The males from the Golden Lion Tribe won’t let you off so easily. Why don’t I have Mu Feng hold them off while your Beast Husband takes you and the cubs and leaves quickly?"

Bai Wanwan shook her head. She quickly washed up, then took a smoky-purple dress from the cabinet by the bed, shaking it out.

"Is it pretty?"

Shi Hua was distracted and replied absently, "It’s pretty."

After she spoke, she finally noticed the dress in front of her, and her jaw nearly dropped.

She had never seen such a beautiful dress. The fabric was so light it seemed to ripple like gentle river water.

Bai Wanwan was very satisfied with her expression.

Of course, this dress was redeemed from the system, and it wasn’t even one of the prettiest ones.

The most beautiful ancient-style dresses were all very expensive.

To save Points, she had chosen a few of the cheapest sets back then. This one was slightly more expensive, and she had only picked this single one.

Because it was expensive and activities in the Beast World could easily wear it out, she had never been willing to wear it.

Under Shi Hua’s astonished gaze, she put on the dress. It clung to her graceful figure, making her look elegant and captivating.

While talking to Shi Hua, she quickly braided her hair and inserted a matching floral hairpin.

Shi Hua’s mouth remained wide open.

The level of refinement in Bai Wanwan’s entire outfit was simply incomparable to the crude things found in the Beast World.

Xin Feng stood to the side, his eyes filled with nothing but her.

He wanted to cover her with an animal hide, unwilling to let other males see her looking so dazzling.

But he understood that Wanwan must have her reasons for doing this.

Bai Wanwan did indeed have her reasons. She even grit her teeth and bought another dress from the system, one that was similar to the one she was wearing.

Only after she was ready did she pull Shi Hua out of the stone house with her.
