Chapter 130: The Unpersuadable Male

Chapter 130: Chapter 130: The Unpersuadable Male

A smile touched Bai Wanwan’s lips. "Of course, I know. I’ll always love myself first. If there were a great risk to me and the cubs, I wouldn’t be foolish enough to take it. Please, believe me!"

Zhu Xiu squeezed her hand back. "I meant what I said. I don’t need children. Having you is enough, so there’s no need to take any risks for my sake."

The smile on Bai Wanwan’s face deepened. "Alright, alright, no risks. If there’s any danger, I’ll immediately have you call the Clan Witch back for another bowl of medicine. I’ll drink it no matter how disgusting it is, how’s that?"

’These words were purely to placate them. She would absolutely never drink that disgusting snot-like medicine, not even if the sky were falling.’

’Besides, she had already spent ten thousand Points. If that couldn’t guarantee a smooth delivery for this litter of snake cubs, she was going to demand a refund from the system.’

Xin Feng spoke gently. "Zhu Xiu, Wanwan really is different. I believe she can give you a litter of healthy snake cubs. Why don’t we do as she says? We can wait and see. If there’s a problem, she can drink the medicine then."

Bai Wanwan nodded like a bobblehead. "Right, right! If this happens again, I promise I’ll do whatever you ask."

Only then did Zhu Xiu reluctantly agree. "You said it. If it happens again, you have to drink it, no backing out."

"Okay, okay, okay."

As she finished speaking, the cold air tickled her nostrils, and she couldn’t help but sneeze. The two males immediately helped her lie back down, and Xin Feng tucked the blanket snugly around her.

After being cared for by her two males like an endangered species for three days, even getting out of bed to walk around a little became a luxury for Bai Wanwan.

"Sister, are you feeling any better?"

Today was Zhu Xiu’s turn to hunt in the mountains, while Xin Feng was outside processing their kill and watching the cubs.

Shi Hua would come over to keep her company whenever she had a free moment.

Bai Wanwan, who was so bored she was about to start picking at her feet, heard Shi Hua’s voice and joyfully called out, "Shi Hua, hurry and come in!"

Shi Hua came over, carrying a basin of fruit that looked like raspberries.

"What are these?"

"They’re berries from the mountains. Very sweet. You should try some, Sister."

Bai Wanwan popped one into her mouth. As soon as her teeth broke the skin, a refreshingly sweet flavor flooded her senses.

’It’s actually pretty good!’

"Eat some more, Sister. I heard the elder females in the tribe say that eating lots of red berries helps you give birth to female cubs."

In the Beast World, fertile females were far more precious than males.

Giving birth was difficult enough; giving birth to a female cub was even more so.

Bai Wanwan had given birth to nine cubs, and only one of them was female.

She didn’t really mind whether this litter had a female cub. As long as they were her babies, it didn’t matter if they were male or female.

’The main reason she couldn’t stop eating was simply that the berries were too delicious.’

Before she knew it, they had chatted their way to the bottom of the basin.

Bai Wanwan couldn’t sit still any longer. "That’s it, I have to go out for a walk today."

"But Sister, I heard your males say that this pregnancy is a difficult one for you. You’re supposed to be resting."

"Don’t listen to their nonsense. I’m perfectly fine."

’If this litter hadn’t been snake cubs, she could have jumped from a three-meter height without any issue.’

’Now that she’d spent ten thousand Points, she had no more lingering worries.’

"Come on, let’s go. If I don’t get out now, I’m going to start growing mold."

She grabbed Shi Hua’s hand and started heading outside. Hearing the commotion, Xin Feng looked up.

Just as he was about to speak, Bai Wanwan cut him off. "I’m getting uncomfortable from sitting so long. I just want to walk around a little. If I start to feel bad, I’ll come right back."

As she spoke, she shot Shi Hua a meaningful look. Before Xin Feng had a chance to object, the two females made a quick getaway.

Xin Feng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. In truth, after observing her for the past three days, he saw that Wanwan’s complexion was rosy. Besides, the Elixir Pills she had given him had restored his Talent and healed the scars on his face.

Deep down, he actually believed her. So when he saw her playfully insisting on coming out, he didn’t truly try to stop her.

The weather was getting warmer, and the sun felt pleasant on her skin. It made Bai Wanwan want to lay out a mat and take a little nap right there in the sunlight.

She didn’t go far, just strolling around outside her stone house while talking with Shi Hua.

As they walked, she felt a pair of eyes on her.

She quickly turned her head, just in time to see a male figure duck behind a stone wall.

He must have thought he was well-hidden, but Bai Wanwan recognized Yan Lie at a glance.

’She hadn’t seen him in so many days, she’d thought he had left long ago. I can’t believe he’s still in the Black Dog Tribe.’

Pretending she hadn’t seen anything, she continued her stroll.

When the cubs saw their Mother come outside, they lined up and followed her, forming a long, wobbly chain...

"So, have you felt anything happening recently?" Bai Wanwan asked Shi Hua.

Shi Hua looked at her with pure innocence. "What kind of happening?"

Bai Wanwan glanced down at Shi Hua’s belly a few times. It dawned on Shi Hua. "Sister, it couldn’t happen that fast!"

’Not that fast? That Elixir Pill cost a full two thousand Points!’

"When you have time, you should have the Clan Witch take a look."

Bai Wanwan was saying this just as they passed a stone wall. Suddenly, a hand shot out from behind it, grabbing her wrist and yanking her out of sight.

Shi Hua jumped in fright. She was about to scream for help when she looked up and saw it was Yan Lie. She quickly turned to see how Bai Wanwan was reacting.

Bai Wanwan’s expression showed no panic or surprise.

She tugged at her wrist, but couldn’t pull free.

Shi Hua said worriedly to Yan Lie, "Yan Lie, let go of my sister."

Yan Lie didn’t look at her, his eyes fixed on Bai Wanwan. "I need to talk to her."

"Sister?" Shi Hua didn’t know what to do.

"It’s alright. You take the cubs and wait for me over there. I’ll just be a minute."

"Oh, okay."

Shi Hua kept looking back every few steps as she walked about ten meters away before stopping.

"Wanwan..."

He said nothing else, just gazed at her, his eyes intense and focused.

"Didn’t I make things clear last time? You’ve wasted enough time in the Black Dog Tribe. It’s time for you to go back to your own people."

"I want to be wherever you are."

Her pleasant scent filled his nostrils. Yan Lie had so much he wanted to say, but his mind was a mess, filled with the images he’d seen that day under the influence of the thorn flower.

A surge of heat coursed through him. Afraid he might do something uncontrollable and make Wanwan hate him, he immediately let go of her hand.

"I’m not going to do anything. I just wanted to get a good look at you."

’You can never truly hate someone who is sincere.’

’If it had been any other male, Bai Wanwan would have already flown into a rage. But with his eyes on her, she couldn’t bring herself to get angry.’

"Listen," she started, "there are plenty of other females in this world..."

"But none of them are you. I only like you."

A hint of hurt crept into his eyes. "Wanwan, I’ll do anything you ask, as long as I can be your Beast Husband."

’He had a look as clean and refreshing as lemonade, so even the slightest hint of sadness on his face made it seem like he’d suffered some terrible injustice.’

’Bai Wanwan didn’t have the heart to say anything harsh.’

She sighed. "I don’t need you to do anything for me. I already have two Beast Husbands."

"Two Beast Husbands aren’t enough to take proper care of you."

His eyes shone as he looked at her with hope.

"My house doesn’t have room for another male."

Yan Lie’s eyes widened. "You mean, the only reason you won’t let me be your Beast Husband is because there’s no room? I’ll go help you build a bigger house right now..."

True to his word, Yan Lie immediately turned to go build a house.

Bai Wanwan quickly grabbed him. "Get back here."

The soft warmth of her hand on his made Yan Lie’s heart leap with joy. He immediately stopped and wrapped his own palm around her small hand.

Bai Wanwan tried to pull her hand away, but couldn’t.

How could Yan Lie possibly bear to let go? He only held on tighter.

"Let go!"

Yan Lie blushed, his gaze fixed on the small hand he held in his own...
