Chapter 355: Chapter 355: Tiger Clan Tribe

On the way, Yin Ze noticed Bai Wanwan sizing him up constantly.

He turned his head to look at her. "Why do you keep staring at me?"

Bai Wanwan’s eyebrows shot up, and she looked incredibly happy.

"I’ve discovered you’re a good male who talks tough but has a soft heart."

"Hmph, you’re only just realizing that now." Though he said that, the corners of his mouth curved up.

Yin Ze had considered changing into his beast form and flying away with her.

Even though that was a privilege only his Wife could enjoy, he thought that if it was Bai Wanwan, he would be willing to let her ride on his back.

But he didn’t know their destination. He could only take Bai Wanwan to the underground river where he had found her.

"You found me right here?"

Bai Wanwan stared at the rushing water of the underground river.

Her swimming skills were terrible. To be washed away to a place like this must have taken more than just a minute or two. The fact that she was still alive to be found by Yin Ze... ’I must have done something amazing in a past life, right?’

A wave of fear washed over her. She followed behind Yin Ze, walking along the underground river.

After walking for a long time, the path in the cave became too narrow for them to pass.

"We can’t go any further."

Yin Ze sighed helplessly and turned to look at her.

He was from a clan of flyers. Not only did he have no advantage in the water, but he was actually at a disadvantage compared to most Beastmen.

Bai Wanwan didn’t lose heart. She tested the underground river, but the water was too deep, and she didn’t dare to go in rashly.

’What if I get swept away to some other place again?’

She had no choice but to retreat. "Yin Ze, do you know where this underground river leads?"

"I’ve never explored it, but given our position, it should connect to a river nearby."

"If we go outside to look, will we be able to find it?"

Yin Ze tilted his head up slightly. "A Land Beastman would probably have a hard time, but I’m a Flying Beastman. I can do it."

"Okay, then. Let’s go outside. We’ll fly up and take a look. If there’s a river, we can follow it and hopefully find some clues."

After coming to an agreement, the two of them headed back the way they came.

Once they were out of the cave, Yin Ze transformed into his beast form.

Bai Wanwan stared at the Phoenix before her, her mouth wide open in shock.

’So beautiful!’

She had only ever heard of creatures like the Phoenix in legends; she never thought she’d one day see a real one in the flesh.

She couldn’t help but raise her hand to stroke his fiery red feathers, which were as glossy and smooth as satin.

Yin Ze felt the young female’s soft palm touch his most sensitive spot.

His body trembled, and Bai Wanwan, noticing this, quickly pulled her hand back. "What’s wrong? Did I make you uncomfortable?"

Yin Ze shook his head, his voice hoarse. Without looking back at her, he said, "You... get on."

After acknowledging him, Bai Wanwan clambered onto his back.

With every movement of the female’s supple body, he could clearly feel her softness.

Every feather on the Phoenix’s body tensed up.

"I’m on. Let’s go."

The moment Bai Wanwan’s words landed, Yin Ze, who could no longer bear the stimulation, immediately spread his wings and soared into the sky.

Against the azure sky, the fiery red Phoenix tilted its head back and let out a cry.

Zhu Xiu and Jin Yi, who were wandering nearby, heard the sound and looked up at the sky.

They only saw a fiery red shadow shooting straight into the clouds.

"There are tribes nearby. We can go ask them if they’ve rescued Wanwan..."

The aura around Zhu Xiu grew even gloomier. If he couldn’t find Wanwan, he felt like he would destroy the entire world.

*******

Bai Wanwan hugged the Phoenix’s neck. The wind roared in her ears, but it gave her a sense of freedom and exhilaration she had never felt before.

Sensing her excitement, Yin Ze immediately did a dive, flying with even more vigor.

Bai Wanwan couldn’t help but laugh. "Yin Ze, a little higher, higher..."

Perhaps it was because she was on Yin Ze’s back, but she knew he wouldn’t throw her off.

She was having the time of her life.

This continued until a river appeared in their field of vision.

She hugged Yin Ze’s neck excitedly and shouted, "That must be the river, right?"

Yin Ze grunted in affirmation. "Let’s go down and take a look."

Yin Ze slowed down, following the river upstream.

"You were washed downstream, which means you probably come from a tribe located upriver."

She nodded in agreement. "Then let’s follow the river upstream."

To find clues, Yin Ze deliberately kept his speed very slow, occasionally circling along the way to search for nearby tribes.

They flew like this for two days. At night, Yin Ze would find a good cave so she could rest safely.

Although she wasn’t walking, she had to hold on to Yin Ze tightly and expend energy searching everywhere.

By the end of the day, she was exhausted too.

After checking that the cave was safe, Yin Ze laid out the animal hides. "Go to sleep."

Bai Wanwan was so tired that after eating some dried meat, she didn’t even bother to wash up. She just snuggled into the animal hides and closed her eyes.

"Wanwan, we’ve searched the entire area around the river. Further upstream is a desert, and there are almost no tribes there."

Although Bai Wanwan was sleepy, she hadn’t fallen asleep just yet.

"I also don’t think I could have come from there. Let’s turn back and search for tribes on either side of the river."

"In the past two days, have any of these places felt familiar to you?"

"No..." Bai Wanwan replied stuffily, her voice thick with sleep, clearly no longer fully awake.

Yin Ze glanced at her. "Then do you..."

In the end, he couldn’t bring himself to ask: Did she have a Beast Husband?

’She doesn’t remember anything. What answer could I get even if I asked?’

At dawn, the aroma of roasting rabbit meat woke her.

Yin Ze was focused on turning the spit and adding wood to the fire, the morning light flowing over his sturdy shoulders and back.

Seeing her awake, Yin Ze came to her side with the roasted meat. "Hungry?"

Bai Wanwan yawned. "Yeah, a little. I’m going to wash up. You can eat first."

By the time she finished washing up, Yin Ze, worried her teeth might not be strong enough to chew the meat, had thoughtfully torn it into small pieces and placed it on a clean leaf for her to eat.

Over the past few days, Bai Wanwan had seen how meticulously Yin Ze had taken care of her.

But the four faces in her mind made it impossible for her to respond to his kindness.

"What are you thinking about? Come and eat."

Bai Wanwan pushed her thoughts aside, took the meat, and started eating.

After they finished their meal, the two set off again.

This time, Yin Ze chose the forest on their right and flew deep into it...

After flying for the better part of the day, Yin Ze spotted a tribe below. "Wanwan, this is the Tiger Clan Tribe. Do you want to go in and take a look?"

"Let’s take a look..."

"Alright. Hold on tight."

After speaking, Yin Ze dove straight down.

They transformed back into their human forms outside the Tiger Clan Tribe.

Bai Wanwan looked at the massive city before them. Its scale was completely incomparable to the Peacock Tribe.

The sheer size of the surrounding walls gave off an imposing and magnificent sense of pressure.

The tribe’s gates were open, with Beastmen coming and going, painting a picture of prosperity.

Yin Ze led Bai Wanwan inside. "Let’s go in and ask around. This is a Super Tribe, so information travels far and wide. It’ll be easier to get the news you’re looking for."

"Mm, okay."

Chou Rong was just leaving a stoneware shop when he looked up and saw a familiar figure.

But after just a glance, the figure turned into a nearby alley.

He instinctively took two steps forward, but then immediately stopped.

’So what if it’s Bai Wanwan?’

’Besides, the male with that female is neither Xin Feng nor Zhu Xiu, but a stranger’s face...’
