Chapter 547 - 544: I’m About to Lose Control!

Chapter 547: Chapter 544: I’m About to Lose Control!

His Adam’s apple bobbed violently. A familiar, surging wave of desire erupted from the depths of his heart, threatening to overwhelm his sanity.

He squeezed his eyes shut and took a deep breath, fighting the urge to slap himself back to his senses.

’Wanwan just gave birth. Her body is still weak. How can I be thinking about *that*!’

He kept his eyes shut tight, using his immense willpower to battle his instincts and calm his racing pulse. But suddenly, a soft, warm, and fragrant body pressed against his chest.

Yan Lie froze instantly. His heart hammered wildly, threatening to burst from his chest.

He used every ounce of his willpower to restrain himself, but his breathing inevitably grew heavy and ragged. The muscles in the arm wrapped around her waist were taut as stone.

"Wan... Wanwan..." His voice was terribly hoarse, tinged with a plea. "Don’t tempt me... I’m afraid I’ll lose control..."

He knew he had the worst self-control of all her Beast Husbands. Right now, he was holding back so fiercely to avoid hurting her that the veins at his temples began to throb.

Watching him struggle so hard, yet so determined not to cross the line, made Bai Wanwan’s heart melt. She also found it a little amusing.

Her original plan was to comfort him, then discuss letting one of the Red Rank Beastmen in.

She had already used a Recovery Pill from the system, and her body was fully capable of conceiving again. She desperately needed to get pregnant with a Red Rank Beastman’s cub right away to earn a large amount of Points.

But as she gazed into Yan Lie’s eyes—unusually deep and searing with a mix of desire and restraint—and saw his clenched jaw and the fine beads of sweat on his skin, the words on the tip of her tongue suddenly changed.

She sighed softly, her voice as gentle as flowing water. "Silly, I’ve already fully recovered. If you want to... I’m ready."

Her words were like the hottest spark, instantly setting Yan Lie’s blood on fire!

He was so stirred that his blood felt like it was boiling, but a shred of reason still fought back. He shook his head forcefully, his voice even more ragged. "No... I can hold back! Wanwan, you—you need to rest. Don’t worry about me..."

But the moment the words left his mouth, the female in his arms tilted her face up, her soft lips landing precisely on his own tight-pressed ones as she initiated a kiss.

"And now? Can you still hold back?" When the kiss ended, Bai Wanwan pulled back slightly. Her eyes glistened as she gazed at him with a teasing, sly smile.

"Wanwan..."

A low growl that was almost a whimper rumbled deep in Yan Lie’s throat. The red in his eyes deepened, his voice becoming a desperate plea. "If you keep teasing me... I... I really won’t be able to hold back..."

He felt he was on the verge of snapping, his jaw clenched tight.

Hearing this, Bai Wanwan seemed satisfied and let go of his waist.

A wave of immense disappointment instantly washed over Yan Lie. He was the one who had begged for restraint, but now that she had actually backed away, he was filled with an overwhelming urge to pull her fiercely back into his arms.

As he wrestled with his inner turmoil, he saw Bai Wanwan’s gaze go distant for a moment, as if she were lost in thought.

Yan Lie could only stand to the side, his eyes greedily tracing the perfect curves of her body—her skin as fine as fresh snow, her eyes as brilliant as gemstones, her lips more tempting than the sweetest fruit...

Unable to help himself, his Adam’s apple bobbed again, and he sharply turned his head away.

’No! I absolutely cannot share a bed with Wanwan tonight! Otherwise, I’ll definitely turn into a beast and hurt her.’

He quickly pulled her clothes back on, covering the alluring sight that was driving him mad.

Then, almost as if he were fleeing, he grabbed several thick beast pelts, spread them quickly on the floor beside the bed, and prepared to make do for the night.

When Bai Wanwan came to her senses, she saw that the tall male had already sorted himself out. He was about to lie down, and his aggrieved yet resolute expression made her want to both laugh and cry.

"Come here." She sat on the edge of the bed and beckoned to him.

"Wanwan," Yan Lie’s voice was heavy. "I can’t touch you right now, and I can’t get too close... If I smell your scent, I’m afraid I won’t be able to resist..."

Bai Wanwan sighed helplessly, softening her voice as she repeated, "Come here."

Yan Lie’s greatest fear was making her angry. So, even though he felt ready to explode from holding back, he shuffled closer as she’d asked, keeping his body rigid to maintain what he considered a "safe distance."

"Wanwan, what is it?" he asked, looking up at her with confusion in his eyes.

Bai Wanwan opened her palm, revealing a Potion that shimmered with a faint red glow.

"Drink it," she said softly.

Staring at the familiar Potion he had dreamed of for so long, a brilliant light erupted in Yan Lie’s eyes.

He had seen this Potion before. He knew all too well that it was by drinking this very thing that Yin Ze and Zhu Xiu had become powerful Red Rank Males.

He’d felt hints of envy and a subtle jealousy before, but he had never asked for one. He knew Wanwan had her own plans.

He never imagined that Wanwan would quietly give him this precious Potion now, of all times.

He took the Potion with extreme care, as if holding a peerless treasure, and was reluctant to drink it right away.

"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and drink it," Bai Wanwan urged with a smile.

Yan Lie finally snapped out of it. Looking into the female’s eager and beautiful eyes, he could no longer entertain a single thought of hesitation or disobedience.

He immediately uncapped the vial, tilted his head back, and drained the Potion in one gulp.

The moment the Potion went down his throat, it transformed into a searing yet controlled torrent that instantly flooded every corner of his body.

An immense power exploded within him, surging through his meridians and frantically breaking through his strength barriers at an unprecedented speed.

He could clearly feel his strength, speed, and senses undergoing a quantum leap!

"How do you feel?" Bai Wanwan asked, smiling as she watched the unconcealable ecstasy on his face.

"Wanwan! I... I think I... I’ve promoted to Red Rank!" Yan Lie’s voice trembled with excitement as he felt the surging power within him, a power that felt as if it could tear the heavens asunder.

’Excellent! He promoted!’

Bai Wanwan’s eyes lit up. Without any further hesitation, she threw back the soft, thin blanket and, barefoot, settled herself into Yan Lie’s embrace, which was trembling slightly from his excitement.

With a warm, fragrant, and soft woman offering herself to him, coupled with the intense excitement and swelling power from his recent promotion to Red Rank, Yan Lie felt all the blood in his body rush to his head with a ROAR!

His hands instinctively clamped onto her slender waist. The lust in his eyes was a tangible, roiling thing that threatened to devour her whole. His voice was utterly raw. "Wanwan... now... I have even less control..."

But Bai Wanwan simply leaned in and kissed his lips again. This time, she gave his lower lip a gentle nip, an act of infinite temptation and encouragement. "Who said you had to hold back..."

With that, she deepened the kiss, her deft hands already starting to peel away his cumbersome beast-hide clothing.
