Chapter 37: Chapter 37: Let Me See

It was as if she’d realized something. She immediately turned her gaze toward the two cubs.

’No wonder they look so robust. They really are two tigers!’

They were all felines, so the Cat Cubs and tiger cubs didn’t look that different.

Besides, the light in the cave was dim, and Bai Wanwan hadn’t had a close look.

"Is their Father Beast Chou Rong?"

Xin Feng’s heart was in turmoil, but he finally asked the question.

Bai Wanwan had no intention of hiding it from him. She nodded. "Yes, their Father Beast is Chou Rong. But it was just an accident. He doesn’t know, and I don’t want him to know."

The moment he saw the tiger cubs, Xin Feng tried to recall any interactions between Wanwan and Chou Rong.

They had seemed so distant. Chou Rong hadn’t shown Wanwan any special treatment at all.

’How did Wanwan end up pregnant with Chou Rong’s cubs?’

He was incredibly curious, but he didn’t press further. Instead, he said, "Once the cubs get older and their fur grows in, their features will become more and more distinct. Even if you say nothing, everyone will be able to tell."

"Then we won’t let anyone see them. Once the snow season is over, I want to leave the Cat Clan Tribe. Will you come with me?"

Xin Feng was surprised by her decision. In the Beast World, females rarely left their own tribes.

Too many dangers lurked in the Ten Thousand Mountains outside.

"I’ll go wherever you go. But Wanwan, the Ten Thousand Mountains are out there, full of ferocious beasts. It’s not as safe as the Cat Clan Tribe."

"Mmm, there’s still time. I’ll figure something out when the warm season arrives."

’Either way, I can’t stay in the Cat Clan Tribe.’

’Forget about the two tiger cubs, who would be recognized in an instant. Just for the fact that she was a Holy Female, the Clan Leader would never let her go.’

Time and again, she had managed to dodge or defuse his attempts. But that was only because the Clan Leader felt he still had time and hadn’t pushed too hard.

’If I keep refusing to bear cubs for the other males in the tribe, he’ll definitely find other ways to force me.’

’So, I can’t stay in the Cat Clan Tribe.’

’I need to go somewhere no one knows I’m a Holy Female. With the system to back me up, I should be able to live a pretty comfortable life.’

Xin Feng’s gaze swept over the two tiger cubs. "If we don’t want anyone to know, the only option is to keep them inside at all times."

Xin Feng recalled arriving last night to see Xin Shan standing guard nearby.

"And... when I returned last night, Xin Shan was standing guard over you. He must know these two cubs belong to Chou Rong. He even intentionally sent the Clan Witch away."

’Xin Shan?’

Bai Wanwan recalled seeing him last night when she was about to pass out from the pain. She had thought she was just hallucinating.

She mulled it over for a moment, then nodded. "I understand."

’When I get the chance, I’ll sound out Xin Shan. If he can be bought over, I’ll buy him over. The secret of the two tiger cubs must not get out.’

Just then, the two tiny Cat Cubs, having eaten their fill, let out little burps. Xin Feng bent down and placed them back in their nest.

Full and sleepy, the cubs yawned and let out soft murmurs before quickly drifting off to sleep.

The other two, however, scrambled to get into Xin Feng’s hands.

He gently placed the two cubs beside her. "You and the cubs should get some more rest. I’ll go cook some fish for you."

Bai Wanwan yawned again. "Okay."

The two tiger cubs seemed famished. They looked up at her with pitiful, pleading eyes.

Bai Wanwan’s heart softened at the sight. No matter what, they were still her cubs.

’This soft, adorable look is nothing like their Father Beast,’ she thought.

She reached out and gave the two tiger cubs a little scratch. Only then did they happily lie down and begin to eat.

「Three days passed in a flash.」

From their initial clumsy fumbling, Bai Wanwan and Xin Feng were now adept at caring for the four cubs.

Bai Wanwan was very pleased with the beautiful sight that greeted her every morning.

Reaching out from under the soft down quilt, she cupped Xin Feng’s face, unable to resist stroking and pinching his cheeks.

Xin Feng had been awake for a while, simply letting her have her way.

Bai Wanwan grew bolder, her fingers tracing his lips.

At that, Xin Feng could no longer hold back. He raised a hand to catch her wrist, his eyes opening at the same moment.

There wasn’t the slightest trace of drowsiness in his eyes. Instead, they held a suppressed emotion.

"Wanwan, stop teasing me."

His voice was low and husky, laced with a tempting desire.

"Let me see..."

Bai Wanwan exerted a little pressure, turning his face toward her.

The scar was already extremely faint, almost invisible unless you looked closely.

"Are you out of the medicine?"

"There’s enough for one more application."

Bai Wanwan smiled, tracing the beautiful corner of his eye with her finger. "One more application and it should be completely healed. I knew my Xin Feng was the most handsome."

The Beastman had an incredibly handsome face. While his eyes were gentle, there was nothing effeminate about him. He was like a towering pine tree, exuding a fresh, comforting aura.

Pleased, Bai Wanwan couldn’t resist pecking him on the cheek.

The moment she did, she burrowed into his arms.

Her actions left Xin Feng’s entire body burning with desire.

But then she just had to close her eyes and go still.

In reality, Bai Wanwan was communicating with her system.

"Host, the first birth is complete. Please get pregnant with the second as soon as possible."

"Get pregnant? Are you kidding? I haven’t had enough fun yet."

"Host, when you transmigrated, this body was already devoid of life. If you do not get pregnant in a timely manner, Points will be consumed to sustain you."

"That’s harsh! Can’t you be a little more user-friendly?"

’Can’t I even get a little break after just giving birth?’

"Host, you now have Points. Giving birth will be a breeze—not only painless but also exceptionally smooth. Besides, Beastmen with powerful Talents are rare, and you happen to have one right beside you. Host should get pregnant as soon as possible to earn more Points for dealing with future emergencies."

Bai Wanwan fell silent, thinking of the pathetic one thousand-some Points on her status panel.

’But that sort of thing has to happen naturally, when the mood is right...’

Bai Wanwan ignored the nagging system and went back to sleep.

When she woke up again, Xin Feng had already steamed rice and made her favorite dish, stir-fried shrimp...

As for the ingredients, she had gotten them all from the System Mall.

At first, Xin Feng wasn’t quite used to it, but after three days, he hadn’t just accepted the new food—he’d grown to love all the different flavors.

But as a male Beastman, his energy needs were immense. The rice and vegetables alone weren’t nearly enough to sustain him, so he still had to eat meat after every meal.

"The rain stopped today. I’m planning to go up the mountain to see if I can catch a Unicorn. The cubs are getting bigger, and they’ll need to eat Unicorn meat..."

Hearing this, Bai Wanwan walked excitedly to the entrance. The moment she opened the door a crack, a fierce, cold wind rushed in...

Xin Feng quickly reached out to hold the door steady while his other arm wrapped around her waist, pulling her aside.

Bai Wanwan shivered, and Xin Feng carefully adjusted her clothes for her.

"It’s still very cold. Don’t stand in the doorway. Go back inside. Once I’m out, you can come look."

"Alright..."

She really couldn’t stand the cold, so she obediently retreated back into the cave.

Only after seeing her go back inside did Xin Feng quickly pull open the door and rush out into the cold wind.

At Hu Ya’s request, her Beast Husband had been keeping a close watch on their neighbors.

After seeing Xin Feng leave, he quickly slipped into the inner part of their cave to report the news to his wife.
