Chapter 206: Chapter 206: Bai Wanwan’s Initiative

Seeing Jin Yuan’s furious, teeth-baring expression, Zhuo Ling endured the stench and let out a sigh. "That Bai Wanwan is really something, isn’t she? An outsider female harms you all like this and gets away with it completely. If she’s allowed to stay, in the future..."

Zhuo Ling shot her a glance, her eyes filled with worry. "Will you ever have a peaceful day again?"

Jin Yuan hadn’t thought that far ahead at all. At Zhuo Ling’s reminder, the color drained from her face.

She didn’t dare to imagine what would happen if Bai Wanwan stayed in the Golden Lion Tribe permanently, tormenting them every now and then. How could they possibly go on living?

Zhuo Ling silently studied Jin Yuan’s expression. Seeing she had realized what a huge threat Bai Wanwan’s presence was, she immediately added, "You all hate her so much, and she’s already been so ruthless to you. I’m afraid things will be very difficult in the future."

Jin Yuan grabbed Zhuo Ling’s hand. "Zhuo Ling, you’re a smart female. You must have a way, right? That Bai Wanwan ruined my face and made me drink sewage! I won’t let her off easy."

"You’d better not think that way. Bai Wanwan..." Zhuo Ling paused. "She’s so capable, I have no way to help you deal with her. However... I think if you could find a way to drive them away, you wouldn’t have to worry about this anymore."

Jin Yuan’s eyes lit up. "You’re right! So how can we drive Bai Wanwan away?"

The key question was how to drive Bai Wanwan away. After what had happened, Jin Yuan didn’t dare to provoke her rashly.

Zhuo Ling put on a troubled expression. "I really want to help you, but I’m also scared that Bai Wanwan will hold a grudge against me."

"Don’t be afraid! Just tell me how. If anyone asks, I swear I’ll never reveal it was you."

’This was exactly what she was waiting for!’

But she still maintained a conflicted and hesitant expression.

After a long moment, she said, "Alright, then. Since we’re best friends, and I don’t want to see you constantly threatened by Bai Wanwan, all you have to do is this..."

Zhuo Ling leaned in and whispered in her ear. The more Jin Yuan listened, the happier she grew.

"As long as they run into constant trouble while living here, they’ll definitely have to leave. But this time, you must not let Bai Wanwan find out it was you. Otherwise, she definitely won’t let you off."

Jin Yuan grabbed her hands gratefully. "Zhuo Ling, you can rest assured, I’ll be careful. You’re truly my best friend! After you become mates with the Young Clan Leader, you’ll be able to stay here forever."

This was Zhuo Ling’s wish as well. ’I *will* become mates with Jin Yi!’

Bai Wanwan had been busy the last few days turning fruit into all sorts of desserts, and her two Beast Husbands and Shi Hua were all very enthusiastic fans.

Shi Hua sat on a stone stool, helping to chop the ripe fruit into chunks.

"Sister, Hu Yue brought me some meat yesterday. I was eating the fruit medley you made, so I gave her a taste. She really liked it. If there’s any extra later, can I bring some to her?"

"Of course, no problem."

Hu Yue was a sweet-natured young female who lived across from Shi Hua’s house. She and Shi Hua got along wonderfully.

Besides, there was so much fruit that, in the interest of not being wasteful, she had been making extra for days. Everyone was about to burst from eating so much.

She was happy that people enjoyed her food, and since she had a good impression of Hu Yue, there was no reason to refuse.

"That’s wonderful! Hu Yue will be so happy when she finds out."

"Then which kind would you like? With a coconut milk base, or milk tea?"

Shi Hua was conflicted. They were both so delicious, she wanted both.

"Sister, either one is fine. I like them all."

’Alright, coconut milk it is. There’s some left over from yesterday, so I won’t have to buy more.’

Yan Lie had been helping for the past two days and had become quite deft at the work. Often, before Bai Wanwan even needed to say anything, he would already be starting on the next step.

Other than Shi Hua, Yan Lie was her most enthusiastic supporter.

Xin Feng wasn’t particularly passionate about sweets, but he wouldn’t spoil her fun. He always finished every dessert she handed him.

An hour later, Bai Wanwan had finished making two large stone basins of the fruit medley.

Since Shi Hua wanted to give some away, Bai Wanwan had made a little extra.

"Yan Lie, take this over for Shi Hua. It’s hard for her to carry things."

After finishing her work and eating a bowl, Shi Hua was already getting drowsy.

So Bai Wanwan supported her as Yan Lie carried the fruit medley, and together they took her home.

In the afternoon, it was scorching hot outside. Xin Feng and Mu Feng had not yet returned home.

Once Shi Hua was sound asleep, Bai Wanwan covered her with a soft cotton blanket, then pulled Yan Lie along as she quietly tiptoed out of the house.

"Wanwan, are you sleepy?" Yan Lie asked.

"Mm, a little..."

Bai Wanwan feigned sleepiness, and Yan Lie promptly picked her up and carried her into their stone house.

"Go to sleep. I’ll stay right here and watch over you."

After lying down, Bai Wanwan patted the space beside her. "Come on up. Sleep with me."

Yan Lie immediately broke into a brilliant, toothy grin and happily lay down.

"Wanwan, why are you staring at me? Hurry up and sleep."

Yan Lie reminded her when he saw she was still staring at him.

Bai Wanwan was exasperated. Because of what happened last time, she had practically forced him into becoming a monk.

The young leopard who used to get aroused from a simple touch was now lying beside her in the same bed, apparently without a single impure thought in his head.

In reality, it wasn’t that Yan Lie was free of impure thoughts. When faced with Bai Wanwan, he still couldn’t help but feel a surge of desire.

But he knew her health was poor and worried he wouldn’t be able to control himself if they became intimate. That’s why he deliberately kept his distance, pretending to be un-tempted.

He could feel Bai Wanwan’s gaze on him, and his skin felt as if it were being tickled by a thousand tiny hands.

He quickly took a deep breath and squeezed his eyes shut. "Wanwan, I’m going to sleep too."

With that, he snapped his eyes shut.

The speed at which he closed his eyes left Bai Wanwan unsure whether to laugh or cry.

But when she remembered he was only doing this because he was afraid of hurting her, her heart filled with warmth.

She had already explained that what happened that day had nothing to do with him, but he still treated her like a fragile vase, afraid to even touch her.

Yan Lie thought closing his eyes would be enough to control himself, but he didn’t expect that it would only heighten all his other senses.

Bai Wanwan’s unique, sweet scent enveloped him, seeping in through his nose and mouth to twine around his very heart.

Then, a soft body leaned in, pressing against his side as an arm wrapped around his waist.

Bai Wanwan tilted her head up to look at his trembling eyelashes, suppressing a smile.

She then drew close to his ear, her lips brushing against his earlobe.

His body gave a distinct shudder, and the muscles in the arm she was resting on tensed up.

"How long are you going to keep up this act?"

Her smiling voice entered his ear. Yan Lie’s eyes snapped open, the raw desire and ardor within them threatening to devour her.

"Wanwan, don’t tease me. I can’t touch you."

Bai Wanwan lifted her arms and wrapped them around his neck. "Actually... you touching me won’t make it worse. And you not touching me won’t make it any better."

Her problem was that the body’s original owner had been poisoned, leaving her Divine Soul unattached.

She was well aware of Yan Lie’s desire for her, and she didn’t want to have any regrets either.

So, she rolled over and sat astride him. Then, under his gaze, which swirled with waves of passion, she reached up and began to undo her clothes...
