Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Her Face Almost Touching His Chin

She gently held her cub, giving him a kiss. Then she stood up and, in front of all the cubs, tucked Qiu Guang into Chou Rong’s arms.

This move didn’t just stun the little cubs.

Even the tiger cub in Chou Rong’s arms went rigid.

Qiu Guang hadn’t been held by his Father Beast in a long time. Because he was a cub of the King of the Forest, and because he was a male.

So he knew he couldn’t rely on his Father Beast.

His Father Beast held his sister the most. He was a little envious, but as a male cub, he couldn’t crave his father’s embrace.

But in that moment, Qiu Guang was so happy.

His tiger eyes were fixed on his Father Beast, filled with adoration.

Chou Rong didn’t actually approve of Bai Wanwan’s actions. ’Male cubs can’t rely too much on their parents. The more independent and ferocious they are, the stronger they’ll be in the future.’

But when he saw his female’s smile and the way the tiger cub was looking at him, he ultimately couldn’t bring himself to put him down.

The cubs on the ground gasped. "Qiu Guang, you’re really the Young Clan Leader’s cub?"

Qiu Guang shyly hummed in affirmation. "I told you I was, you just didn’t believe me."

He huffed proudly, but the corners of his mouth were lifted high in a smile.

Bai Wanwan discreetly poked Chou Rong’s waist.

But after just two pokes, he grabbed her hand.

She blinked at him several times, and Chou Rong, taking the hint, slowly set Qiu Guang down. His gaze swept over the line of little cubs.

"That’s right. Qiu Guang is my cub, and so are the rest of them. If you want to play with them in the future, you can come to our home."

Chou Rong then turned to his own cubs, who were trailing behind him. "Go play with them. Qiu Shi, when the time comes, bring your younger siblings home for dinner."

The cubs answered cheerfully, watching their Father Beast and Mother walk away.

One by one, they puffed out their chests. ’We have a Father Beast and a Mother now, too!’

"Wow, you guys are really the Young Clan Leader’s cubs! That’s so amazing!"

The cubs’ eyes sparkled, clearly overjoyed.

Bai Wanwan overheard the little cubs’ words, and a smile couldn’t help but grace her lips.

’I have so many cubs already, but I still hope every single one can grow up happy and stay happy forever.’

The two walked until the sounds of the cubs faded away. Bai Wanwan tried to pull her hand back, but it wouldn’t move.

Chou Rong held her hand tightly in his palm, then turned to the accompanying Beastmen. "Take these things back. You don’t need to follow us."

"Yes, Young Clan Leader."

Chou Rong changed direction, leading Bai Wanwan down another path.

She recognized all the nearby paths. ’This is clearly not the way home.’

"Where are you taking me?"

"I remember when you were in the Cat Clan Tribe, you spent all day wandering around..."

Bai Wanwan gave an awkward laugh. ’Back then, it was to get a clear picture of the entire Beast World Continent.’

’I really was like a street loiterer, wandering around all day looking for people to chat with.’

"Since you’ve decided to settle down here, this is your home now. I’ll show you around."

’He remembered when she first came to the Tiger Clan. He’d seen her twice, and both times, that bird beastman was showing her around.’

’With my great revenge finally achieved, this is the first time in years I’ve felt so relaxed.’

’I don’t want to think about the future, at least not for a while.’

Bai Wanwan’s interest was immediately piqued. She walked beside Chou Rong, stopping here and there to take in everything about the Tiger Clan.

’Before, I was just looking for someone. But now... maybe I can help make the Tiger Clan even better.’

"How many Orange Rank males does the Tiger Clan have?"

"Around fifty."

"What?" Bai Wanwan was in complete disbelief. "Around fifty? Then how many Yellow Rank Males do you have?"

’To think that large tribes struggle to find even one Orange Rank male, and this place has around fifty!’

"Almost a thousand Yellow Rank Males..."

"Tsk, tsk. You really live up to the name of a Super Tribe."

’With such formidable strength, it’s no wonder the Super Tribes are impregnable.’

’It must be difficult for Super Tribes to wage war on each other. With this kind of strength on all sides, how could they even fight?’

’It would only lead to mutual destruction.’

As they continued walking, Bai Wanwan and Chou Rong arrived at the central plaza.

"These are all Traveling Merchants from the various tribes."

’Traveling Merchants... I’m already very familiar with them.’

’Wandering between the various tribes... I knew about Traveling Merchants right after I transmigrated here.’

Suddenly, an image of Roger flashed through her mind.

’I hope I never see him again in this lifetime!’

Chou Rong led her by the hand, slowly approaching the merchants’ stalls.

All sorts of objects were laid out on the ground: pearls from the sea, colorful gemstones, and weapons and ornaments made from the bones of rare and exotic beasts.

Just as Chou Rong walked with her to the front of a stall, a Beastman called out to him.

"Young Clan Leader, I’ve finally found you."

"Yes, what is it?"

Bai Wanwan, standing beside him, patted the back of his hand. "Take your time talking with him. I’m going to look around."

Chou Rong let go of her hand and glanced at her. "Alright. Don’t go too far. Stay nearby."

"Okay."

Bai Wanwan agreed with a smile and turned toward the stalls.

"Your succession ceremony needs to be announced to the major tribes, so it should be scheduled for at least twenty days from now. What do you think?"

Bai Wanwan, who was walking away, didn’t hear them. Her gaze was captivated by the azure and pale pink pearls on a stall...

"You like them?"

The Traveling Merchant at the stall asked.

Bai Wanwan glanced at him with a smile. "They’re not bad. I’m just looking."

’The pearls come in so many colors, and they’re so round and beautiful.’

Bai Wanwan had just finished speaking when the Traveling Merchant took out a set of jewelry from a box behind his stall.

As he opened a giant seashell, a set of pearl jewelry appeared before her.

The quality of the pearls in the shell was even better than those on display.

’No woman can resist shiny things like these.’

’I should try it on.’

Following her impulse, Bai Wanwan took the pearl necklace from the seashell. Just as she was about to put it on, the Traveling Merchant spoke up. "That looks a bit awkward for you. Here, let me help."

He put down the shell and, holding the necklace, tried to approach her.

Bai Wanwan took a step back. Although she kept a smile on her face, her stance was clear.

"No, thank you. I can do it myself."

The Traveling Merchant’s hand, still holding the necklace, paused for a moment. Then he smiled and handed it to her. "Alright. It’s a bit difficult to put on by yourself, but go ahead and try."

Bai Wanwan didn’t respond, simply raising the pearl necklace to her neck.

She was already incredibly beautiful, with fair skin that seemed to have a natural glow.

When the string of round, beautiful pearls was draped around her neck, it was hard to say whether the necklace accentuated her beauty or if she enhanced the necklace’s.

It was a sight that would make any beastman unable to look away.

Unaware of how many gazes she had attracted, Bai Wanwan was completely focused on trying to clasp the necklace.

’But the Traveling Merchant was right, this really is hard to put on...’

Just then, a pair of hands reached up from behind her and fastened the necklace.

Bai Wanwan turned her head, her face nearly brushing against his chin.

She smiled up at him. "You didn’t make a sound. You startled me."

Before she could say another word, the Traveling Merchant in front of her suddenly spoke. "Is this your Beast Husband?"
