Chapter 195: Something’s Wrong

Chapter 195: Chapter 195: Something’s Wrong

The night was deep. Moonlight spilled through the cracks of the stone house, casting a silvery-white glow upon the floor.

Yan Lie finally had his chance to be alone with Bai Wanwan. In the quiet space, leaning against his chest, Bai Wanwan could even hear his heart pounding like a drum.

She couldn’t help but let out a laugh.

"Wanwan."

Yan Lie, who had been tense, paused at the sound of her crisp laughter. He hugged her tightly, burying his face in the crook of her neck.

Her sweet, alluring scent filled his senses, sending a wave of heat surging through him.

"I don’t really know what I’m doing. If I hurt you, you have to tell me."

Yan Lie whispered in the darkness, the tips of his ears flushing red.

The young male was fervent and passionate, yet his cautiousness, as if she were a priceless treasure, was precious in itself.

Bai Wanwan turned her head, sought out his lips, and pressed a gentle kiss to them.

For the male who had been desperately holding back, the thread of his control snapped...

Heavy panting echoed in the stone house as a searing kiss fell upon her.

"Wanwan... Wanwan..."

Unable to relieve his fervent emotions, the male kissed her while murmuring her name with lingering affection.

As he called her name again and again, Bai Wanwan’s heart felt like it was melting into a puddle.

Yan Lie couldn’t stop caressing the soft flesh of her waist. She was just so delicate, so slender.

It felt as if the slightest pressure could snap her in two.

Yan Lie unconsciously tightened his arms, completely enveloping her soft, fragrant body in his embrace.

His eyes darkened, and he plunged into an abyss of love and desire.

Bai Wanwan took a deep breath. She knew Yan Lie was trying his best to be gentle, but it was inevitable for an excited young male to not know his own strength.

It was a little uncomfortable, so she shifted her body. "Be gentler."

Yan Lie replied in a hoarse voice, "Okay, I’ll be gentler."

His arms tightened, completely enfolding her in his embrace.

Bai Wanwan opened her mouth to speak, but suddenly, her head lolled to the side and she went limp. Her hand slipped from his neck...

Yan Lie, not yet realizing, held her by the waist...

On the verge of becoming one with his beloved, the male was so excited his mind went blank. He gave her all his tenderness, gently kissing her lips, slowly, bit by bit, they began to merge...

Suddenly, his body stiffened. He looked down at the limp female in his embrace.

’Something’s wrong,’ he thought. ’Wanwan’s body is soft and delicate, but not like this.’

"Wanwan... Wanwan?"

He called her name twice, but Bai Wanwan didn’t respond.

He cupped her face and shook it gently. "Wanwan?"

Not only did Bai Wanwan not respond, but her breathing had also grown fainter.

He was terrified. He quickly propped himself up on his arms, lifting Bai Wanwan with him.

"Wanwan? Wanwan!"

Bai Wanwan remained completely unresponsive.

The color drained from Yan Lie’s face.

"Zhu Xiu! Xin Feng! Get in here, quick!"

Yan Lie’s voice was nearly a strangled rasp, laced with a fear he had never known before.

Xin Feng and Zhu Xiu, who hadn’t been sleeping, had already gotten up and were heading over at the first sound of a commotion.

When they heard Yan Lie’s desperate shout, they both burst in.

When Zhu Xiu saw Bai Wanwan, her eyes shut tight, his expression instantly turned grim. He strode forward and snatched Bai Wanwan from Yan Lie’s embrace.

"What happened?" Zhu Xiu’s voice was ice-cold, his gaze cutting into Yan Lie like a knife.

Yan Lie’s eyes never left Bai Wanwan. He ran a hand through his hair, his thoughts in turmoil. "I don’t know... she was fine just a moment ago..."

The moonlight outside the window was bright, illuminating the scattered marks dotting Bai Wanwan’s fair skin.

A savage aura colored Zhu Xiu’s features, but Yan Lie didn’t notice.

He moved closer, wanting to check on Wanwan, but as he approached, a surge of Talent Power shot toward him.

He couldn’t react in time and took a direct hit, slamming hard against the wall.

He spat out a mouthful of blood.

Enduring the pain, Yan Lie bit his lip and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.

"If this is my fault, I’ll apologize to Wanwan when she wakes up. Right now, I just want to see how she’s doing."

He tried to move forward again, but Xin Feng blocked him.

Xin Feng’s handsome face was filled with anxiety. "Zhu Xiu is furious. Don’t get any closer for now. I’ll go check on her."

Yan Lie clenched his fists, fighting the urge to rush forward.

He was filled with self-recrimination. ’It had to be his fault. He must have done something to hurt Wanwan.’

His eyes instantly turned crimson as he stared intently at Bai Wanwan in Zhu Xiu’s arms.

Xin Feng paid Yan Lie no mind. After his quick warning, he walked to Zhu Xiu’s side. "Let me see."

Zhu Xiu was radiating a savage aura, but after a single glance at Xin Feng, he didn’t attack.

Xin Feng reached out to touch Bai Wanwan’s face and called her name. "Wanwan?"

She hadn’t woken up despite all the commotion.

Now, the two males took turns calling her name, but she remained unresponsive.

Suppressing the panic welling in his chest, Xin Feng said, "We need to get the Clan Witch from the Golden Lion Tribe to take a look."

"You go. I’ll watch Wanwan."

"Alright. I’ll be as quick as I can."

Xin Feng turned to leave.

Yan Lie stopped him. "I’ll go. You two take care of Wanwan."

With that, he spun around, shifted into his beast form, and a cheetah sped away into the night.

Xin Feng walked back to Zhu Xiu’s side. The two males stared at the unconscious Bai Wanwan, neither saying a word.

Yan Lie was incredibly fast. When he returned, he had already brought the Clan Witch of the Golden Lion Tribe with him.

"Quickly, let me see..."

The Clan Witch of the Golden Lion Tribe was an elderly female with a kind and gentle face.

Zhu Xiu laid Bai Wanwan flat on the stone bed, allowing the Clan Witch to step forward and examine her.

The Clan Witch walked over to Bai Wanwan, placing a hand on her forehead. "Don’t be alarmed. A young female’s body is delicate; it’s not uncommon for problems to arise."

The Clan Witch’s placating words did nothing to ease the tension of the three males standing by the stone bed.

Their expressions remained grim.

After her brief attempt to soothe them, the Clan Witch focused her full attention on Bai Wanwan.

"Hmm?"

The Clan Witch’s unconscious exclamation made the three males’ expressions tense up.

"Clan Witch, have you found the problem?" Zhu Xiu asked.

The Clan Witch examined her carefully for another moment, her expression no longer as relaxed as before.

"Something’s not right. Her heartbeat is very slow and her breathing is faint. I’ve never seen a case like this."

"Then what do we do?" Yan Lie demanded, his face flushed with panic, his breaths coming in ragged gasps.

The Clan Witch made an immediate decision. "I can’t treat this young female. We must get the previous Clan Witch at once. Perhaps she will have a way."

Xin Feng immediately asked, "Where is the previous Clan Witch? I’ll go get her."

The Clan Witch shook her head. "You won’t be able to persuade her. I should be the one to go."

’The Clan Leader had given specific instructions. This female, Bai Wanwan, was an honored guest of the Golden Lion Tribe. If she needed anything, they were to take the utmost care of her.’

’Therefore, she couldn’t afford to be careless. She had to go and retrieve the previous Clan Witch herself, and she also had to inform the Clan Leader.’

’Nothing could happen to this female!’
