Bai Wanwan was just starting to feel a bit drowsy in Yin Ze's warm, strong embrace when a sudden commotion from outside the camp startled her.
The sound was a mix of beastmen's low roars and panicked screams, instantly shattering the night's tranquility.
She immediately opened her eyes, all traces of sleepiness gone.
Not far away, Xin Feng had already gotten up, his movements light and swift, thinking he wouldn't wake her.
But when he turned back and saw her eyes were open, he quickly gave her a reassuring look and said in a low voice, "Don't worry. Get some rest. I'll go out and see what's happening."
"Okay. Be careful," Bai Wanwan urged softly, her gaze following Xin Feng's figure as he quickly disappeared outside the cave.
Outside the cave, the sounds of fighting were fierce at first but didn't last long. They gradually died down, leaving only some suppressed sobs and noisy chatter.
'It's over this quickly?'
