As Su Xian stood in the cloakroom, she was startled to hear Wang Jian's words. She had never expected him to buy dresses for her, and she couldn't help but feel touched by his gesture. A warm feeling spread through her heart as she gazed at his handsome face, peeking through the gate with a sense of admiration.

It wasn't the gifts that charmed her, but the realization that Wang Jian cared for her deeply, and that he would go out of his way to make her happy.

For the first time, Su Xian felt truly cherished, and she couldn't wait to try on the new dresses and show them off to Wang Jian.

Very soon, the maids returned with three beautiful dresses for Su Xian in their hands. These dresses were tailored according to her size.

The first dress is a flowing white cotton dress that reaches her ankles. The dress has a fitted bodice and a loose skirt that flares out from the waist. The neckline is decorated with delicate embroidery in pastel colours, giving the dress a subtle yet elegant touch. The dress has short, loose sleeves and a thin belt at the waist that cinches into the dress to create a flattering silhouette. This seemed perfect to be worn casually.

The second dress is a stunning ball gown made of deep red velvet with a fitted bodice and a full, sweeping skirt. The sleeves are long and flowing, made of sheer silk chiffon, and embroidered with intricate silver threads. The gown is finished with a glittering silver necklace and matching earrings, which shimmer in the candlelight. This dress seemed perfect for a formal meeting.

The third dress is a breathtaking masterpiece of delicate lace and pale pink silk. The bodice has a sweetheart neckline, and the skirt falls in soft, cascading layers to the ground. The lace sleeves are adorned with delicate pink rosebuds, and the gown is finished with a simple pink ribbon tied around Su Xian's waist. The dress is perfect for a romantic evening or a stroll in the garden on a sunny day.

After the maids left, Su Xian emerged from the cloakroom, and she approached Wang Jian.

"Y-you got them for me?" Su Xian inquired while gazing into his eyes.

"Naturally. Don't forget that your status has changed. You are now my concubine and deserve to wear the most beautiful dresses," Wang Jian spoke solemnly.

Soon, a teasing smile appeared on his face as he added, "…Though I would rather see you without these dresses."

"Y-you really are a rascal!" Su Xian averted her eyes as her cheeks reddened. However, she was feeling gleeful as she continued to gaze at these dresses.

"Let me try them on," she excitedly said.

"Sure, sure," Wang Jian responded dryly.

With Su Xian constantly at his side, Wang Jian's day continued in a very routine fashion. Her demeanour was so adorable that not even Wang Jian could resist the need to dote on her.

Hey, it wasn't like he'd suddenly abandoned his nefarious ways; he simply enjoyed kicking back and having a good time now and again.

In the meantime, something fascinating happened amidst the conflict between the Miracle Angel Tribe and the Crimson Mammoth Clan.

The Miracle Angel Tribe members spread some baits in Crimson Mammoth Clan's area that attracted many ferocious beasts from the Mellow Magnolia Woods.

In reality, the source of these baits were heavenly herbs that the Miracle Angel Tribe used to heal injuries. They would ensure that these herbs are stored in an airtight bottle or preserved in a powerful barrier.

However, to deal with the Crimson Mammoth Clan, Han Lei decided to utilize these heavenly herbs.

The Crimson Mammoth Clan, however, was no pushover. Even after three waves of the beast raid, they preserved and slaughtered all the beasts that appeared.

There were many casualties in the Crimson Mammoth Clan, which caused Kang Fu to worry greatly.

He had a feeling that this beast raid was the work of the Miracle Angel Tribe.

Just as he was lost in worry, he received a secret letter from Fen Gen. It stated the following wording.

"You will be a sitting duck if you remain in your position. Relocate from your current location to the one marked on the map."

Despite the Miracle Angel Tribe's scouts' best efforts, they were unable to track the movements of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors after their intense battle against the ferocious beasts of the jungle.

The warriors seemed to have vanished into thin air, leaving no trace of their whereabouts. It was not surprising, as their ultimate destination was an underground location that lay just a few miles from their original base.

The Crimson Mammoth Clan members were licking their wounds as hatred for the Miracle Angel Tribe intensified in their hearts.

Realizing that their chances of victory were slim in their current situation, Kang Fu engaged in a lengthy discussion with his comrades to devise a strategic plan.

Utilizing the Crimson Mammoth Clan's resources, Kang Fu divided the herbs they possessed, which could effectively conceal their presence from both beasts and humans, into seven parts.

Six of these portions were then distributed among six separate teams, each led by a formidable warrior from the Crimson Mammoth Clan.

These teams were comprised of the strongest members of the clan, and their primary objective was to locate the Miracle Angel Tribe's scouts and their base.

With this elaborate strategy in place, Kang Fu and his comrades set out to turn the tide of the battle in their favour.

The six teams left the underground base with bloodshot eyes. They planned to make the Miracle Angel Tribe pay!

In the dark night, two teams of the Crimson Mammoth Warriors managed to capture three scouts belonging to the enemy.

After capturing these scouts, the warriors began to torture them to find their base location.

The members of the Miracle Angel Tribe were well aware that disclosing the location of their base would result in a perilous direct confrontation with the Crimson Mammoth Warriors. Such a prospect would inevitably lead to disastrous consequences for their comrades.

Thus, they persisted through agonizing torments that even the bravest men would weep at, with their eyes bleeding as a testament to their suffering.

After killing these scouts, the Crimson Mammoth Warriors roamed around in the forest, searching for clues regarding the Miracle Angel Tribe's base.

Fen Gen sent a report to Wang Jian that gave him a comprehensive overview of the battle.

Upon holding that report, another evil idea appeared in his mind. However, he controlled himself and thought, 'It will be too soon to apply it now. I should wait a bit.'
