Chapter 333: I’ll Be Wherever You Are

Chapter 333: Chapter 333: I’ll Be Wherever You Are

Jin Cang took a moment to compose himself, his eyes brimming with joy.

"Wonderful, just wonderful! Wanwan, you are the greatest benefactor of our Golden Lion Tribe!"

Bai Wanwan had just given birth and hadn’t yet taken a restorative Elixir Pill, so she looked extremely weak.

Jin Yi’s heart ached watching her. "Father Beast, let’s talk outside."

Jin Cang nodded repeatedly, cradling the cubs and refusing to let go.

"Wanwan, I’m just stepping out for a bit. I’ll be right back to stay with you."

"Okay, no rush."

Xin Feng and Yan Lie had been waiting nearby for a long time, but they hadn’t intruded, respecting this unique, life-changing moment for Jin Yi.

But once he left, the space beside Wanwan was empty, and that changed things.

Xin Feng strode forward and sat down on the edge of the bed, taking one of her hands in his. "Are you still feeling unwell?"

Bai Wanwan smiled and shook her head. "Not anymore."

Yan Lie crouched by the bed, tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear, and pressed a kiss to her cheek, his eyes filled with tender concern.

Bai Wanwan smiled at her two Beast Husbands. "I’ve told you two before, I’m not like other females. Childbirth isn’t that big of a deal for me. I’ll be fine after a little rest."

’Right, one Elixir Pill and it’s like I never gave birth at all.’

’The effect is good, and it works fast.’

Jin Yi didn’t stay outside for long. Worried about her, he quickly returned to the room.

Bai Wanwan thought, ’My other Beast Husbands know my identity, so of course I can’t hide it from Jin Yi.’

’Besides, the fact that I could give birth to Orange Rank cubs is suspicious in itself. Even if Jin Yi doesn’t ask, he must have his doubts.’

’So, it’s better just to tell him directly.’

"Jin Yi, there’s something I want to tell you. The reason I was able to give birth to Orange Rank cubs is because I’m..."

Before she could finish, Jin Yi spoke up. "Wanwan, I know."

Bai Wanwan assumed Xin Feng and Yan Lie had told him, so she nodded, intending to change the subject.

But then Jin Yi continued, "Actually, before this, Father Beast already knew your identity. And I discovered that Cat Beastman from your tribe. I learned who you are from him."

As soon as he finished, Xin Feng’s brow furrowed. He turned to look at Jin Yi. "A Cat Beastman?"

Yan Lie also stood up, his expression turning serious. "So, you knew all along that Wanwan is the Holy Female? Did you approach her on purpose?"

Xin Feng didn’t say it aloud, but his scrutinizing gaze was fixed on Jin Yi.

When Jin Yi decided to reveal this, he had already prepared himself for their interrogation.

But even so, he had no intention of hiding it from Wanwan.

"I never approached Wanwan intentionally. I like her, and wanting to be with her has nothing to do with her being the Holy Female."

After taking an Elixir Pill to restore her body, Bai Wanwan pushed herself up with her arms to a sitting position.

"Wanwan, you just gave birth and need to rest. Don’t sit up."

Xin Feng supported her arm, trying to get her to lie back down.

But Bai Wanwan placed her hand over his. "Xin Feng, I’m fine. You and Yan Lie, go wait outside for me. I want to talk to him alone for a bit."

Xin Feng was silent for a couple of seconds before nodding. "Call me if you need anything."

Bai Wanwan smiled and agreed. "I will."

Xin Feng turned and left. Yan Lie kept looking back over his shoulder as he walked away, his gaze toward Jin Yi no longer friendly.

Soon, only she and Jin Yi were left in the room.

Jin Yi pursed his lips and took the initiative to speak. "Wanwan..."

He had expected his female to be angry, but instead, Wanwan patted the spot beside her. "Come closer. I can’t hear you clearly from that far away."

Jin Yi immediately went over and sat on the edge of the bed. "Wanwan, I never meant to deceive you."

"Mm, I know. Actually, you didn’t have to say anything just now; you could have waited for me to bring it up. But you chose to tell me yourself, so I know you didn’t want to deceive me."

Jin Yi had been prepared for his female to doubt him, but Wanwan chose to trust him without needing much of an explanation.

"Wanwan, even though you trust me, I still want to tell you what I was thinking."

He opened his arms and drew her into his embrace, giving her body some support.

Bai Wanwan didn’t resist, lying quietly in his arms. "Okay. Go on, I’m listening."

"Father Beast... he probably knew your identity very early on, which is why he was so determined for us to become mates. But at the time... I didn’t want to share you with so many other males, so I was always very resistant."

"Mhm, I noticed that."

Bai Wanwan smiled and tilted her head back to look at his handsome face. "And then what?"

Jin Yi’s fingers toyed with her soft hair, his gaze softening as well. "Later, without realizing it, I became curious about you. I started watching you, but I didn’t know my own heart was slowly changing."

"After the beast tide ended, after we’d been through life and death together, I would see you in the arms of your Beast Husbands, and I would feel envious... even jealous..."

"Hm?" Bai Wanwan narrowed her eyes, skeptical. "You were so cold back then. I didn’t notice that at all."

Jin Yi chuckled. "I was afraid you’d find out, so I did my best to act distant."

"Afraid I’d find out?"

"Mhm. Actually, I was fighting with myself back then, unwilling to admit that I’d started to like you."

"While I do enjoy hearing about your emotional journey, I think you were just talking about how you found out I’m the Holy Female."

Jin Yi nodded, his arms tightening around her. "I wanted to tell you that I had already fallen for you before I knew you were the Holy Female. I just didn’t want to face it back then."

"So, when did you find out I was the Holy Female?"

Bai Wanwan had completely relaxed, leaning lazily in his arms and chatting idly with him.

"It was after the beast tide, when we returned to the tribe. I discovered that Cat Beastman. I found out Father Beast had kept him alive, and that he came from the same tribe as you, so I went to interrogate him myself. From him, I learned your identity as the Holy Female."

"So, that’s when you stopped suppressing your feelings?"

She was deliberately teasing him, but it made him anxious. He grabbed her hand as it was tracing his jaw. "No! Back then, I was just thinking about how to hide the fact... It was during the Bear Clan’s attack, when my life was hanging by a thread, that I had a sudden realization. No matter who you are, no matter if you have other males by your side, I want to be with you..."

As his words fell, her soft lips sealed his.

"I believe you..."

She kissed him softly, a response to his words.

But in the next second, the male cradled the back of her head, and a searing kiss swept over her.

"Wanwan, I’ve never been as happy as I am right now."

He took her hand and pressed it to his chest. "Listen... It’s telling you how happy it is."

Not only had he won his beloved female, but she had also so quickly conceived and successfully delivered their cubs.

"From now on... wherever you are is where I’ll be."
