Chapter 583 - 580: Promote to Red Rank

Chapter 583: Chapter 580: Promote to Red Rank

Bai Wanwan watched as Hua Han, after struggling fruitlessly again and again, collapsed in exhaustion. His chest heaved violently, and only his scarlet eyes still glared defiantly at the sky. A broken whimper, like that of a wounded cub, escaped his throat...

She whirled around, unable to bear the sight any longer.

Every glance these past few days had felt like a knife twisting in her heart.

She clenched her fists tightly, her nails digging deep into her palms.

’Today it’s Hua Han. What if it’s Xin Feng, Yan Lie, or Chou Rong next? What will they do?’

Her hand subconsciously drifted to her swollen belly. It was heavy, and the feeling of new life stirring within was so clear.

But at this moment, she felt none of her usual joy, her face an icy mask.

She had to accumulate more Points as quickly as possible.

’I have to make my men the most powerful males on this vast continent.’

Only then could she, her mates, and their cubs live here in peace and happiness.

"We’ll reach our tribe in two days. Wanwan, are you all right?"

Yan Lie saw Bai Wanwan growing more haggard with each passing day, not a hint of a smile on her face.

He knew Wanwan was worried about Hua Han.

Bai Wanwan turned her head and forced a smile. "I’m fine. Let’s pick up the pace."

After taking in many wandering Beastmen, the group finally arrived at the Leopard Clan’s territory without any further trouble.

Bai Wanwan returned to the house she had stayed in before, her face etched with exhaustion. She stroked her belly, feeling the little one’s increasingly frequent movements. ’I’m afraid...’ she calculated, ’...I’ll be giving birth in the next day or two.’

The atmosphere in the Leopard Clan’s territory was much heavier and grimmer than when they had left.

After Bai Wanwan and her group had departed, many Foreign Beastmen had come seeking refuge, telling them of the tragic state of their own tribes.

Influenced by these newcomers, the entire tribe was on high alert, like a fully drawn bow.

"Wanwan, the situation outside is more dire than when we left," Zhu Xiu said. "Tomorrow morning, have Xin Feng and Yin Ze fly you back to the Tiger Clan."

Bai Wanwan felt her abdomen begin to tighten. It was clearly starting.

She gasped lightly, grabbing Zhu Xiu’s hand and shaking her head. "It’s too late. I think I’m going into labor."

Yun Lan, who had just walked in, heard her and immediately scrambled to go find the Clan Witch.

The males, however, were more experienced. Yan Lie was the first to stop a panicked Yun Lan. "Mother, you should go back. We’re here. We know what to do."

"How could that possibly be acceptable? You’re all males..."

Before she could finish, Yan Lie, worried she would disrupt Wanwan’s labor, simply led his Mother outside.

Somehow, he managed to console and calm her down.

All the males remained in the stone house, watching over her.

Bai Wanwan, on the other hand, started to feel drowsy.

Just before dawn, Bai Wanwan was jolted awake by a wave of pain.

A soft groan from her broke the silence in the room.

The males were instantly on high alert.

"Wanwan, is it time?" Xin Feng quickly wrapped his arms around her, his voice urgent.

"Yes. This time, it’s really happening."

Just as the eastern sky began to pale, several clear, vibrant cries of newborn cubs echoed from the heavily guarded stone house in the center of the Leopard Clan’s territory.

Almost simultaneously, the system’s cheerful notification rang in her mind: "Congratulations, Host! You have successfully given birth to three Red Rank male cubs, one Orange Rank male cub, and one precious Holy Female! Total reward: four hundred fifty thousand Points!"

Bai Wanwan lay on a bed piled high with thick, soft animal hides, a weary but incredibly satisfied smile on her face.

Four hundred fifty thousand Points! The thought almost washed away all her post-labor exhaustion!

She knew that carrying the cubs of her feline Beast Husbands would always surprise her with the numbers, but she never expected the quality to be so incredible this time!

This massive influx of Points was the answer to her urgent prayers, finally allowing the tension that had been wound tight within her to ease slightly.

Her Beast Husbands had already gathered around, their eyes fixed almost entirely on Bai Wanwan, ignoring the five wriggling, exquisitely cute little cubs with their varied coats of fur beside her.

"Wanwan, are you still in pain?" Yan Lie crouched in front of her, his eyes filled with adoration and concern as he looked at the female who had just borne him five more cubs.

Bai Wanwan shook her head and said with a smile, "It doesn’t hurt. I’m just a little tired."

’I was so happy just now, I haven’t even had time to take a Recovery Pill.’

Just as she was about to exchange her points for one, shouts of alarm erupted from outside. "Hua Han and the others are out! Stop them, quick!"

"They’re heading that way! After them!"

The chaotic, agitated roars instantly shattered the morning’s rightful peace.

Xin Feng’s expression tightened. He quickly rose and walked to the window, peering out cautiously.

After just one glance, his brow furrowed deeply. He turned back to Bai Wanwan and said in a low voice, "Hua Han and the other captive Beastmen have broken out. I’m going to check on it."

Bai Wanwan’s heart leaped into her throat. Her first thought was of Hua Han.

’I can’t let him lose control and run off again.’

"Zhu Xiu!" She looked urgently at Zhu Xiu, who was standing guard by her bed. "You and Yan Lie need to go help them! You have to restrain Hua Han first and bring him back. This time, I can help them break the control."

Zhu Xiu nodded. "I’ll have Yin Ze and Xin Feng stay with you. We’ll go."

Bai Wanwan shook her head. "All of you go. Bring back all the controlled Beastmen."

Yan Lie looked at Bai Wanwan, pale on the bed after just giving birth, and at the five little cubs crying for milk. How could he possibly leave? "No! I’m not comfortable with just Xin Feng staying here. I’m staying to guard you and the cubs! Zhu Xiu, Yin Ze, and all those Leopard Clan warriors can handle the situation!"

Zhu Xiu and Yin Ze glanced at Yan Lie. It was probably for the best that he stayed. But time was short, so the two of them quickly departed.

Seeing Yan Lie guarding the bedside, Bai Wanwan sighed. Under his watchful gaze, she quickly exchanged her Points for a Potion. A vial swirling with crimson light and surging energy materialized in her palm.

She immediately offered it to Xin Feng. "Xin Feng, drink this!"

The powerful aura radiating from the Potion made Xin Feng and Yan Lie understand instantly.

Yan Lie’s eyes lit up. He clapped Xin Feng on the shoulder, his tone urgent and excited. "Drink it! Hurry! If you drink it, you can Promote to Red Rank! With Red Rank strength, I can leave you to protect Wanwan and the cubs without worry."

A rare flash of excitement crossed Xin Feng’s gentle eyes. He, too, craved greater power so he could better protect Wanwan and the cubs.

Without a moment’s hesitation, he took the Potion, tilted his head back, and downed it in one gulp.

A searing, immense power instantly exploded within him, surging through every inch of his body. His muscles and bones issued a low hum as the aura around him skyrocketed at a visible rate.

Seeing this, Yan Lie delayed no longer. He said to Bai Wanwan, "Wanwan, Xin Feng will watch over you and the cubs. I’m going to help. Don’t worry, I’ll be sure to bring Hua Han back to you safely!"
