Chapter 65: Chapter 65: Do You Have Anything to Explain to Me?

It was Chou Rong!

Bai Wanwan was so excited she nearly shot up from the stone stool.

In that moment, she completely forgot her past history with Chou Rong. All she could think was that he was an old acquaintance.

A male with a powerful Talent, at that.

He was another chance for her to escape!

"What is it?"

Yin Da, sitting beside her, noticed the change in her mood and turned to look at her.

"It’s nothing."

Bai Wanwan quickly composed herself. She couldn’t let Yin Da see through her.

But Yin Da had already sensed something was off. His gaze swept over the group of males.

He frowned in displeasure. ’Is it because they’re handsome?’

’Does the little female still think I’m not good-looking?’

The veins on his clenched fist bulged. He then shot a meaningful look at a nearby Wandering Beastman.

The Wandering Beastman understood, walked over, and took away the stone bowl beside him.

Bai Wanwan’s heart was pounding like a drum.

’How can I meet with Chou Rong alone?’

’And why is Chou Rong here?’

She subconsciously looked toward Chou Rong.

But Chou Rong wasn’t looking at her. He was smiling and talking to a female beside him.

Bai Wanwan pouted. ’Is this why he came to the Wandering Beast City?’

’After all, this place is a paradise for males—slaughter, conflict, females...’

’If you can’t hold your ground, you’re bound to fall prey to it here.’

Thinking this, she started to feel a bit hesitant.

"City Lord, is she the Holy Female?"

An outsider Beastman stared at Bai Wanwan with a burning, undisguised gaze.

Yin Da, displeased, pulled Bai Wanwan into his arms. "I just said you can pick any of the other females in the Wandering Beast City, but not the Holy Female."

The outsider Beastman chuckled. "We’ve just never seen a Holy Female before, so we’re taking a couple of extra looks."

Yin Da didn’t reprimand them. Bai Wanwan was important, but these few powerful, newly arrived Beastmen were important as well.

"Are all four of them staying in the Wandering Beast City?" Bai Wanwan asked in a low voice.

Yin Da nodded, a pleased expression on his face. "Yes. They came here specifically to pledge allegiance to me."

After hearing this, Bai Wanwan turned her head and noticed a Wandering Beastman carrying a clay pot to pour water for them.

As the Wandering Beastman approached the outsiders, the stark contrast between them suddenly put Bai Wanwan on high alert.

The Beastmen of the Wandering Beast City were all deformed. ’Will Chou Rong become like that too?’

The thought of Chou Rong’s handsome face becoming as ugly as those of the Wandering Beastmen felt like a terrible waste!

Seeing that Chou Rong had finally noticed and was looking her way, Bai Wanwan quickly blinked at him.

But she blinked until her eyes nearly cramped, and he acted as if he felt nothing, his expression not changing in the slightest.

’Did he see me or not?’

’Forget it.’ She stopped blinking to prevent her eye from twitching.

’I’ve done my best to warn him. If he doesn’t get it, then so be it. Anyway, no matter how handsome he is, he’s not my Beast Husband.’

’No matter how ugly he becomes, I won’t be around to see it anyway.’

Yin Da also seemed to be suspicious of her, turning to glance at her from time to time.

Bai Wanwan did her best to appear dignified and composed, no longer looking around.

The stone bowl in front of Chou Rong was filled with water, and he, like the other Beastmen, lifted it and poured it into his mouth.

Inside the stone house, only Bai Wanwan was distractedly chewing on dried meat. Most of the males were watching the mating scene in the middle of the room with feverish eyes.

Yin Da’s hand slid to her waist, giving it a firm pinch.

Bai Wanwan endured it without moving. Just then, Chou Rong, who was sitting below, suddenly stood up.

His action drew the attention of both Bai Wanwan and Yin Da.

Yin Da looked at him, his eyes questioning. "Chie Li?"

"City Lord, I have something important to tell you."

Yin Da nodded. "Speak."

His hand did not leave Bai Wanwan’s waist.

Chou Rong’s gaze fell on Yin Da’s hand, and the light in his eyes became incredibly sharp.

"It’s a secret concerning a large tribe. I can’t say it here. Please come outside with me, City Lord, and I will tell you."

When Yin Da heard it was a secret about a large tribe, his suspicion vanished. He released his arm and instructed Bai Wanwan, "I’m going to discuss something with Chie Li. If you don’t want to stay here, have him escort you back."

He pointed to a nearby Wandering Beastman, gave him some instructions, and then got up to leave.

Bai Wanwan couldn’t wait to seize this opportunity to leave.

So, the moment Yin Da and Chou Rong left, she hurried back to her quarters.

The little cubs were already asleep, letting out soft snores.

Bai Wanwan wasn’t sleepy at all; her mind was preoccupied.

After stroking the cubs, she walked to the doorway and peered out.

’If only I knew where Chou Rong was staying...’

It was already too dark to see clearly inside the room. Bai Wanwan tossed and turned on the stone bed, unable to sleep.

’What exactly did Chou Rong come here for?’

’Considering we both lived in the Cat Clan before, will he help me?’

After Chou Rong’s arrival, she was actually more inclined to ask him for help.

Because Zhu Xiu was too tough a nut to crack. Trying to bite down would just break your teeth.

’I’ll find a chance to ask around tomorrow. No matter what, I have to try.’

As she relaxed, Bai Wanwan gradually began to feel sleepy.

In a daze, she thought she heard a sound.

She was instantly wide awake. Opening her eyes, she saw a figure beside her bed.

It gave her a fright. The next second, the figure moved in quickly and covered her mouth.

A cool, fresh scent entered her nostrils, awakening memories of the night she first crossed over into the Beast World.

The heated memory made Bai Wanwan’s cheeks burn, and she quickly realized who this person was.

"Don’t move. It’s me, Chou Rong."

With her mouth covered, Bai Wanwan couldn’t speak and could only nod.

Only then did Chou Rong slowly release his hand, his eyes brazenly studying the female’s face in the darkness.

The stone house was too dark, but his eyesight allowed him to vaguely make out her features. He knew she was also staring right back at him with those beautiful eyes.

"Why did you come here?" Bai Wanwan kept her voice down. "The Wandering Beast City is dangerous. You have to be careful. Don’t fall for their tricks, or you’ll become deformed and ugly just like them."

He certainly knew more about the Wandering Beast City than Bai Wanwan did.

But he didn’t interrupt her warning, waiting until she had finished.

"Don’t you have anything to explain to me?"

Bai Wanwan tilted her head, looking up at him. "Explain?"

"Mm."

Chou Rong could even smell three other scents in the room, ones that shared his own bloodline.

His usually steady heart began to beat faster.

’Bai Wanwan... had borne him at least four cubs!’

He looked at the female before him, his feelings a complex tangle.

He had never thought about what kind of partner he would have in the future.

But he never would have imagined it would be someone like Bai Wanwan.

Bai Wanwan didn’t like to beat around the bush and play guessing games. She didn’t understand what Chou Rong was saying at all.

"What explanation do you want? You should be clear. And... you didn’t come all the way to the Wandering Beast City just to get an explanation from me, did you?"

’Is he really that crazy?’

’Explanation...’

Bai Wanwan suddenly had a feeling and subconsciously glanced at the cubs in the corner.

’Could... it be... that he knows...?’
