Chapter 228: He Cannot Do That

Chapter 228: Chapter 228: He Cannot Do That

Her palm was wet, slick with scarlet blood.

She immediately grabbed Xin Feng’s arm, tilting her head to examine him carefully.

Her gaze went past his arm, and only then did she see the wound on the back of his shoulder.

It was a mangled mess of flesh and blood, which was still trickling down his beast hide.

"And you called it a minor injury! The wound on your shoulder and back is bleeding so much."

Without another word, Bai Wanwan pushed him away, grabbed his arm, and made him sit down.

Xin Feng was helpless. Seeing her worried expression, he could only obey and sit down.

"Take off your beast hide. Let me see the wounds on your body."

Xin Feng did as she said, taking off the tattered, blood-soaked beast hide.

It revealed the countless scratches and bites, big and small, that covered his body.

’And all of these... they’re all because he risked his life searching for me in the beast tide.’

She pursed her lips, not saying a word. She didn’t feel the slightest pang of regret for the healing ointment that cost two thousand Points per tube.

She smeared it all over Xin Feng’s wounds.

Then she spent another two thousand Points to redeem a new one, not stopping until every wound on his body had been coated.

The bleeding from the wounds quickly stopped.

She let out a long sigh of relief and took a Beast Skin Skirt out of her space.

Xin Feng reached out to take it, but Bai Wanwan moved it away from his hand. "I’ll help you put it on."

Xin Feng had seen plenty of domineering females, but he had never met one as gentle and good to her Beast Husband as Wanwan.

A warm and tingly feeling swelled in his heart, filling him with an immense sense of satisfaction.

The moment Bai Wanwan finished tying the waistband for him, he wrapped his arm around her waist.

"You should first..."

Before she could finish, Xin Feng’s kiss had already landed, his scorching breath enveloping her.

Xin Feng’s lips were a little chapped, but exceptionally warm.

Bai Wanwan was led by Xin Feng’s rhythm and slowly closed her eyes.

She didn’t notice a familiar figure appearing at the cave entrance.

Jin Yi watched Bai Wanwan and Xin Feng tightly embraced before him, their lips locked, utterly intimate.

An unfamiliar emotion welled up from his chest, giving him the sudden urge to pull them apart.

Realizing this, he was jolted back to his senses.

He forced his gaze away and abruptly turned around.

His footsteps were much heavier than when he had arrived, as he silently left the space to them...

Bai Wanwan sensed Xin Feng’s growing passion and forcibly reined in her own senses.

"Xin Feng, Jin Yi is still nearby. He’s been taking care of me ever since something happened to Yan Lie. He just went out to scout the area and will be back soon."

Xin Feng slowly loosened his grip, but his hands, resting on her waist, did not pull away.

Actually, he had noticed the moment Jin Yi appeared.

But he didn’t tell Wanwan that Jin Yi had already been back.

"You should sit and rest for a bit. Eat some meat and drink some water."

Bai Wanwan took food out from her System Space and passed it to him.

’These past few days, he was searching for me in the beast tide. He definitely hasn’t had a proper meal, let alone a good rest.’

She watched him eat a lot of meat, which made her feel a little more at ease.

Noticing that Jin Yi had been gone for a long time, she turned to the cave entrance. "That’s strange, why has he been gone so long? He didn’t run into any danger, did he?"

"I’ll go to the entrance and take a look."

Bai Wanwan lifted her skirt and walked to the cave entrance in a few quick steps to look outside.

She looked up and saw Jin Yi standing in the distance, his back turned to her.

Huh?

’He’s back?’

"Jin Yi..."

She tried to keep her voice down, calling to him in a whisper.

Males had keen hearing. In fact, the moment Bai Wanwan walked to the entrance, he knew she had come out.

So, when she called out, he turned his head immediately.

After a slight hesitation, he began walking toward the cave entrance.

As he drew closer, the figure of the male sitting in the cave became clearer.

He knew of Bai Wanwan’s Beast Husband.

But he had never sized him up properly.

His gaze fell upon the other male, and he subconsciously looked him over from head to toe.

Xin Feng sensed the other’s gaze and smiled at him calmly. "Young Clan Leader, thank you for saving my Wife."

Jin Yi’s lips twitched, but in the end, he said nothing else.

Xin Feng continued, "Did you just go to check on the situation? I’ve been in this area recently. The beast tide outside the tribe hasn’t receded, so we can’t go back for now."

"Then let’s wait a bit longer."

Xin Feng thought so too. Now that he had found Wanwan, his heart was finally at ease.

Since they couldn’t leave for the time being, the two males decided the cave entrance wasn’t safe and led Bai Wanwan back to the narrow entrance of an underground river.

"It’s relatively safe here. If a beast tide attacks, we can retreat into the river passage immediately."

After speaking, Jin Yi turned to look at Xin Feng. "Have you been near the tribe? How is the situation there now?"

"No, but I’ve been observing from nearby. The beast tide hasn’t destroyed the tribe."

The Golden Lion Tribe is a large tribe, after all. It’s not like the Cat Clan or the Dog Clan, small tribes that would be on the verge of collapse after a single assault.

We have more than enough Yellow Rank Males and Green Rank males here.

The beast tide is terrifying because of its sheer numbers, but truly powerful Mutant Beasts are very rare, and they might not even come down from the mountains.

Hearing Xin Feng’s answer, Jin Yi also let out a visible sigh of relief.

Time passed bit by bit. Xin Feng, who had been talking with Jin Yi, slowly leaned over and rested his head on Bai Wanwan’s shoulder.

Bai Wanwan hadn’t expected him to fall asleep in the middle of a conversation.

’How long has it been since he’s had a proper rest?’

Her heart aching for him, she carefully supported his head, letting him rest securely on her shoulder.

The air from the underground river was cold, so she took a beast hide blanket from her System Space and draped it over him.

After doing all this, she turned her head and saw the silent Jin Yi.

After a moment’s thought, she took another beast hide blanket from her space and handed it to him. "You’ve also had a tough few days. It’s safe for now, so you should get some sleep too."

It was broad daylight, so it didn’t affect her vision.

Besides, she had slept very well last night and was full of energy.

It was a perfect opportunity for her to stand watch and let the two males get some proper rest.

’I don’t know how much longer we’ll have to stay here. Conserving our strength is what’s most important.’

"I’m not tired," Jin Yi said, but then he couldn’t help but ask, "Is he your first Beast Husband?"

Bai Wanwan hadn’t expected Jin Yi to ask such a personal question.

She paused for a moment before replying, "Xin Feng was the first Beast Husband to bond with me, but... Zhu Xiu is my first Beast Husband."

This was the promise she had made to Zhu Xiu at the time. Without a doubt, Zhu Xiu was her first Beast Husband.

’Since all my Beast Husbands are equally important to me, who is the ’first’ doesn’t really matter that much.’

Jin Yi thought of that formidable male.

He and Zhu Xiu hadn’t met many times, but he remembered that in every encounter, Zhu Xiu’s eyes held a hint of defensiveness.

Jin Yi now understood what Zhu Xiu meant. He was guarding against every male who got close to Bai Wanwan.

Jin Yi had to admit, Bai Wanwan was different from any other female he had ever met.

She possessed a strange power that always drew him in, making him want to explore more.

But he knew he couldn’t do that.
