Chapter 15: Discovered

Bai Wanwan held his hand, not following him out.

"Hmm?" Xin Feng turned back in confusion.

"I can't leave with you yet. Zhu Xiu's condition just stabilized these past two days. If I stay by his side, I can help him recover."

If it had been those first few days when Zhu Xiu was in a violent frenzy, she wouldn't have been able to stay even a moment.

She would have packed up immediately and left with Xin Feng.

But these past two days, Zhu Xiu's condition had clearly improved, and his intimacy toward her made her feel like he might still remember her.

After all, he was her Beast Husband, and she didn't want him to turn into a wild beast without consciousness.

Xin Feng placed both hands on her shoulders. "I won't feel at ease if you stay by his side. If he loses his mind again, you won't have the ability to protect yourself. What if I happen to be back at the Tribe visiting The Cubs and don't get there in time to save you?"

These past few days, he spent most of his time guarding outside the Cave, but he still returned to the Tribe occasionally to check on the few Cubs.

Fortunately, the Female named Shi Hua had proactively helped and taken good care of The Cubs.

Only then could he confidently come out to guard Wan Wan.

"Don't worry. Even at his most violent, he never tried to swallow me whole."

"But I'm not relieved..." Xin Feng frowned and did not follow her arrangement. "Even if he is unclear in his consciousness now, he has the ability to survive in the wild. Come back with me; he will come back to find us when he regains clarity."

What Xin Feng said was not wrong, but if Zhu Xiu discovered she was gone, and he was devoured by Dark Energy in his frenzy, even if he didn't kill her, he might kill other Males of the Black Dog Tribe.

Rather than risk that much, she might as well stay and guard him for a few more days.

Bai Wanwan leaned into his embrace naturally. "I'm really not going back with you this time. Zhu Xiu needs me. If it were you, I would stay too."

He tightened his arms around her. "Is it absolutely necessary to stay?"

"Yes. If you are worried, find time to come see me. I will send Zhu Xiu away, and we can talk."

Bai Wanwan looked up and smiled at him, telling him not to worry so much.

But he remained deeply troubled, showing no sign of letting go.

She stood on her tiptoes and kissed him on the lips. "Don't worry anymore. It's rare that we finally meet. Tell me how The Cubs are doing? With both of us gone, who is helping look after them?"

Xin Feng told her about Shi Hua helping out.

"Then I must go back and thank her properly."

As soon as she finished speaking, Xin Feng held her waist and lowered his head to kiss her.

His scent, uniquely his own, was refreshing and pleasant like a clear breeze.

She stood on her tiptoes, wrapping her arms around his neck, trying hard to respond.

Most of the time, Xin Feng's kisses, like his person, were gentle as the wind, rarely giving a sense of oppression.

But the Male before her seemed to have changed; he tightly gripped her waist, forcing her against the Cliff in a few steps, kissing her urgently and fiercely.

Bai Wanwan loved this contrast about him; her fingers restlessly roamed around his neck.

The Male's gaze became increasingly dangerous, and his hand reached for her belt, giving it a light tug...

Bai Wanwan quickly grabbed his hand, mumbling, "Don't mess around. Zhu Xiu will be back soon."

The current Zhu Xiu was like a firecracker ready to explode. He was affectionate and tolerant toward her, but he was absolutely fierce and cruel toward other Males.

They were both her Beast Husbands, and she didn't want any of them to get hurt.

Xin Feng thought for a moment, released his hand, but continued the kiss while still holding her waist.

Bai Wanwan actually couldn't fully immerse herself, always feeling that Zhu Xiu might return at any moment.

After kissing him back forcefully twice, she pushed him away.

"Zhu Xiu should be back. You must leave quickly. We will meet again next time."

Xin Feng was quite reluctant; even his gentle features looked somewhat mournful.

With such beauty before her, Bai Wanwan was also very reluctant to let him go.

"When I go back next time, I will definitely compensate you well."

Receiving her promise, Xin Feng was pushed out by her, looking back three times in two steps.

At the Cave entrance, Bai Wanwan saw the trees in the distance swaying and immediately pushed Xin Feng again. "Zhu Xiu is back, hurry and leave."

After saying that, she quickly slipped back into the Cave.

Before leaving, Xin Feng still remembered to block the entrance with the rock again.

Bai Wanwan knew that Beasts had keen senses of smell, so she changed the clothes she was wearing at top speed and threw them into the system space, then meticulously washed every spot Xin Feng had touched with the water Zhu Xiu had brought.

After finishing all this, she burrowed into the bedding.

Just as she lay down, the rock was moved aside, and Zhu Xiu's massive body slithered in.

He opened his mouth, and the sound of 'splash' accompanied the sound of countless fish falling.

In the blink of an eye, the almost empty jar was filled with water and fish.

Bai Wanwan pretended to wake up, staring at the full tank of fish.

"So many... I can't eat them all myself. Do you want some?"

Zhu Xiu immediately slid several meters away. He strongly disliked these fishy, stinky insects; their bones were very uncomfortable stuck in his stomach.

Bai Wanwan put on her beast skin skirt and walked to the fish tank to pick and choose.

She didn't try to force Zhu Xiu; he was in his Beast Form now, and these fish couldn't fill his stomach at all.

Originally, it was just an excuse to send him away, but now seeing so many lively fish, Bai Wanwan's appetite was greatly whetted.

She needed to save up points to lift the dark curse from Zhu Xiu, so eating these fish as a snack was quite good.

She reached in and scooped out several fat fish, sat down by the Cave entrance, and began scaling them.

The fish Zhu Xiu caught were all very large; even the smallest was half an arm's length, and the flesh was fat and tender.

She processed three fish in one go.

She picked up one and started slicing it.

She had eaten many kinds of fish from the Beast World continent, and every type was delicious.

They were no worse than the seafood from later generations, perhaps even fresher and sweeter.

She picked up a stone bowl, poured in a little soy sauce and mustard, and ate while cutting—she was extremely satisfied.

In a short while, an entire fish was sliced, but a small portion had already gone into her stomach.

For the remaining two fish, she made several diagonal cuts along the back to help the seasoning penetrate.

Then she started adding various sauces and side dishes.

When Bai Wanwan was grilling the fish, she remembered Zhu Xiu and looked back at him.

She found Zhu Xiu was moving along the base of the wall, slowly slithering toward the spot where she and Xin Feng had embraced and kissed.

Bai Wanwan felt a sense of dread; he wouldn't approach that spot for no reason.

Forgetting the grilled fish in her hand, she threw down her chopsticks and sprang up instantly.

"Zhu Xiu, come here quickly and taste this for me."

Zhu Xiu heard her call and turned his head to look at her.

It wasn't dark outside yet, and the light spilling in from the open Cave entrance illuminated the head of the King Cobra clearly.

Even though he was in his Beast Form, with just eyes and a mouth, it was difficult to discern any expression.

But Bai Wanwan still sensed it—he was angry.

Did he smell it?

Bai Wanwan felt guilty and walked toward him. "Come here."

As she approached, Zhu Xiu suddenly opened his beast mouth and roared at her, seemingly to voice his dissatisfaction.

His forked tongue almost licked her face. Bai Wanwan stood firm, forcing herself to remain calm.

At this moment, she could only play dumb; she couldn't admit anything.

"What's wrong with you? Unhappy? Then shall I give you a hug?"

Without giving Zhu Xiu any time to react, she shamelessly hugged him.
