goes smoothly."A male classmate who worked at a bank said."What you said makes sense. If we're talking about a noble person, it must be Old Wu. It seems like my decision to teach at Yimin was the righ...Ripple heard the warm words and indicated that this female, although a little delicate, was quite intelligent. She knew how to protect herself and when things went wrong, she ran pretty fast too.

Just as Wen Nuan was about to continue speaking, Du, Meng, and Wei all made a shushing motion. Lian Yi's spirited eyebrows arched slightly, clearly having detected some new movement.

On the clifftop were wolves and other orcs, their trail ending here.

"Roar, the scent is gone here!"

They shouldn't just disappear out of thin air.

"Follow those vines down, if I'm right there's a cave halfway up the cliff."

This is the sound of a wolf howling.

He had once heard Wei mention it, before he hadn't come here, but when he arrived, he remembered.

"Okay, the two of us will go down. You guys keep an eye out for any movement below."

Two tiger-tribe beastmen immediately grabbed the thick vines (wan) and slowly slid down. The other three stood on their hind legs, listening carefully.

The ripples of movement on the cliff edge were heard by everyone except for warmth. She burrowed into Wei's embrace and asked in a hushed voice:

"Didn't he come chasing after you"

He just nodded and said nothing.

Meng and Du looked at each other, both clearly wanting to leave. They were stopped by Lian'Yi, who didn't want to confront the Tiger Clan right now. This time, she communicated with plants instead.

The vines originally hanging at the mouth of the cave, as if receiving an order, began to grow rapidly. In a short moment, they completely blocked the entrance and continued to grow inward until they finally stopped where they were.

Two orcs climbed down the vines. Although they found the cave, the entrance was blocked by wildly growing vines. They tore off some vines with their claws, but there were more vines inside waiting for them.

They looked at each other, feeling that the warmth-bringing intruder shouldn't be hiding here. After all, this place was crammed with vines, and there were no other signs of beastmen entering except for the ones they had destroyed themselves.

Shall we take a look down there

"Great!"

The two orcs continued downwards, but unfortunately, they were almost at the bottom and still had nothing.

"How could they just disappear out of nowhere Did they perhaps... fly away"

One of the orcs muttered under his breath, for the scent had vanished completely.

"Jump, you're right! Perhaps the invaders are also bird-kin or beast-folk. If so, we would have a hard time tracking them."

Then let's go up and tell Xiao.

"Let's go!"

Two orcs quickly climbed up the vines and then whispered their guesses to Howl.

"Are you sure there are no hiding places down there What about that cave"

“The cave was filled with vines, leaving no gaps. If someone had gone in, they would have had to tear through the vines. We didn't find any torn vines! And going down further, there wasn't any scent of the strange beastmen anymore.”

He spoke directly.

Hearing Yue's words, Xiao's brows furrowed tightly. He always had a bad feeling about this, and then he said:

"Let's retrace our steps. Maybe they intentionally led us here."

Another guess was made, and with a wave of his hand, he immediately turned back with his companions, hoping to find something while the scent hadn't dissipated yet.

After the howls left, Ripples didn't retract the vines, she just made space for the three beastmen to rest. This comfortable and warm cave naturally returned to Ripples and Warmth's use.

We've found quite a lot of food recently, so we won't need to hunt for the next three or five days. The beastmen outside haven't found warmth, and they'll likely come back. For now, please don't go outside.

The ripples spoke directly to the three people.

"Yes!"

Three people all answered in unison.

As expected, the ripples had foretold. Xiao, following his original path back, found nothing. He was still determined and led people back to the precipice. This time, he personally went down for a look around, indeed finding no traces left by any orcs.

Xiaoming was still unwilling to give up. He stayed on the cliff for seven days. If Wen'nuan had really been taken away by the orcs, with her pregnant and having bled so much, she would need a witch's healing. The other party wouldn't be able to hide for long unless they wanted Wen'nuan dead.

Unfortunately, after seven days they still found nothing. Xiao Cai took them away with a sullen face. They followed the trail left behind by Wen Nuan, hoping to find some clue about her whereabouts and bring them warmth again.

After they had left completely, Ripples pulled the vines blocking the cave opening and said to Nuan warmly:

“I originally wanted to go see the shaman of the Tiger Tribe now, but unfortunately your body doesn't allow it. We still have to stay outside for at least two months, returning to the tribe in the last month of the harvest season. It will be right around then that you are eleven months pregnant and nearing childbirth. With us here, even Xiao won't dare to attack you.”

"O Ripple God, please forgive my selfishness. I only wish to prove Vi's innocence and not raise this child."

He, after all, is someone I was forced to have by Xiaoqiang. I can't face this cub, he will remind me of the pointing and blaming I suffered, the injustice I endured, Xiaoqiang's two-faced nature.

The young ones bear these burdens as they grow, I truly ，“

>>>

When she said this, Warmth covered her own face, she really didn't want to face the birth of this cub.

"What do you want me to do then"

Ripples' eyes narrowed, and she asked faintly.

If it were possible, I would like to give birth to this child ahead of time, just as long as proof could be given that he was not conceived under duress during a time of trouble.

Warmly didn't dare to look at Wei's face and directly stated his own thoughts.

"Your thoughts are too naive. If you had bitten him and insisted, he would have confessed to you long ago, and besides, the fact that he already has a partner and a child born prematurely is proof enough."

"But the shaman told me, this cub was conceived only after I was forced."

"Remember, the Howler's father is the chief. And a premature birth just gives them an excuse. If you want to prove Wei's innocence, don't give them any opportunity to refute it."

"Child, if you don't want it, I will take it and leave the Tiger Clan completely. After all, the things between the three of you will affect the cub's growth."

“It was my oversight. Thank you, Messenger, for pointing it out. To make amends for my mistake, I will do as you say.”

Warming her face with the back of her hand to wipe away the tears, she silently lay back down on the furs and stared at the ceiling of their cave. Her hand still rested on her stomach as she mumbled to herself:

"It's the mother beast's fault, I hope you don't blame the mother beast."

But Wei was looking at Nuan with a complicated expression. He didn't know whether to advise the other party not to do this, or to advise himself to let go of his prejudices and accept the cub.

Both Du and Meng remained silent, after all, this was a matter for Wei alone. They were not Wei, so it wasn't appropriate for them to give advice.

But when Ripple said she would take away the unwanted cub, Meng's eyes lit up.

After reaching a consensus with Warmth, the Ripple squad left the tiger clan's territory after Warmth's fetus stabilized and found a secluded place to live. closely behind."Good."Felix waved his hand dismissively at those around him, clearly telling them to get ready.At this time, three lions walked over and said to Lianyi:"Boss, the types and quantities...
