Chapter 19: The Agreement

When Bai Wanwan woke up, she turned over and mumbled, "Zhu Xiu?"

She reached out to touch, but found nothing.

Only then did she fully wake up. She sat up clutching her blanket and immediately saw Zhu Xiu, who had transformed into human form, busy in front of the stove.

A fragrant aroma of fish soup wafted over.

Bai Wanwan stretched languidly, her eyes curving into a smile.

Then she threw off the blanket and tiptoed behind him, wrapping her arms around his waist.

"You're making fish soup first thing in the morning. Are you feeling better?"

As she spoke, she tilted her head to look at Zhu Xiu's face.

The incomparably handsome face was no longer pale; he looked completely normal.

Even his eyes seemed softer than usual.

He took hold of her fingers with one hand. "Stop causing trouble. Go sit over there, I'll serve you the soup."

Bai Wanwan disobeyed, clinging to his waist and burrowing in front of him, rubbing against his chest. "Let me hug you a little longer."

Zhu Xiu put down what he was holding and easily lifted her up. "My heat cycle is approaching. If you provoke me, I'll have you conceive a litter of Cubs right now."

Only then did Bai Wanwan laugh 'haha' and surrender. "Then there's no need to be in such a hurry. I'll go wash up first, then drink the soup."

Zhu Xiu loosened his arm, and Bai Wanwan slid to the floor, wriggling out like a loach.

The smile on Zhu Xiu's face slowly faded.

Before this, he genuinely wanted Wan Wan to bear him a litter of Snake Cubs.

Seeing that Xin Feng and Qiu Rong both had their own Cubs, Zhu Xiu felt very envious. He desperately wanted to have a litter of Cubs belonging to him and Wan Wan.

But he hadn't expected that the energy stone could not completely suppress the dark curse; instead, it increased the frequency of its outbreaks.

The only benefit was the improvement in Innate Ability.

Perhaps he needed more energy stones to stabilize the dark curse.

In this situation, he couldn't even take good care of Wan Wan. If they had a litter of Cubs, he would be even less capable of being a good Father Beast.

Bai Wanwan quickly finished washing up, braided her long black hair into two loose plaits, and even pinned two small flowers in it.

When she was ready, she turned to look at Zhu Xiu and found he was still standing there in his original posture.

She walked up to him suspiciously and waved her hand a couple of times. "What are you thinking about? You're so absorbed."

Zhu Xiu reached out, pulled down her soft palm, and held it. "Come and drink the fish soup."

Bai Wanwan let him lead her to sit on the Stone Stool.

The fish soup was perfectly warm and was delivered right in front of her.

She took a sip.

It was fresh and delicious, and she couldn't help taking another large gulp.

"Wan Wan, I'll send you back to the Tribe later."

Bai Wanwan almost choked while drinking the soup.

After swallowing, she looked up at him. "Why are you sending me back? I want to stay with you during this time."

Although her heart struggled and hesitated a little, the moment she thought of this little bitter gourd lacking love and affection since childhood,

she pulled herself back from the edge of hesitation.

She had to firmly stay by his side.

"Life in the wilderness is inconvenient, and The Cubs are still young; they need you too."

Bai Wanwan sized him up. "Aren't you recovered now? Can't you come back to the Tribe with me?"

Zhu Xiu shook his head. "The situation is still unstable. I'll send you back today, and I'll stay at the Tribe for two days. I'll come to see you after I stabilize again."

"Then how long will this situation of yours last?"

It couldn't go on like this forever, right?

If it did, she would have to hurry up and have several more litters, earn more points, and use those points to help him solve the dark curse.

Zhu Xiu also wasn't sure how long this would last. He still needed to inquire about where other energy stones were located.

After Bai Wanwan finished the remaining fish soup, she sat down on his bent thigh.

She wrapped her arms around his neck and stared seriously into his eyes. "Zhu Xiu, I want to bear you a litter of Snake Cubs."

Bai Wanwan didn't know how devastating those words were to a Male.

Almost instantly, the faint red in Zhu Xiu's eyes turned deep red, so intense it looked like it might bleed.

The hand gripping her waist clearly increased its strength.

Bai Wanwan curved her lips into a smile, leaned close to his ear, "How about I bear them for you right now?"

Zhu Xiu exerted a slight force, and Bai Wanwan lunged onto him, his arms locking around her tightly, as if enveloping her entire being.

The kiss followed.

This kiss was fierce and urgent, as if he wanted to devour her.

Bai Wanwan's scalp tingled, and she couldn't help shrugging her shoulders.

She proactively reached out to pull at his beast skin skirt, but Zhu Xiu grabbed her wrist.

Bai Wanwan opened her eyes and looked at him, puzzled.

His scarlet eyes were filled with thick desire, yet he still didn't let go.

He just kissed her very heavily and deeply.

Just as she was about to suffocate from the kiss, the Male finally released his grip.

Bai Wanwan gasped for breath, looking at him with confusion, her eyes asking for an explanation.

He was holding her hand, preventing any further action, yet kissing her fiercely.

His actions were very contradictory.

Zhu Xiu raised his hand and wiped her bright red lips. "It's getting late. I'll send you back to the Tribe."

Zhu Xiu helped her stand up by holding her hand.

"Wait..."

Bai Wanwan pulled him back, took two steps forward to stand in front of him, and looked up into his eyes.

"What was that just now? Is there nothing you want to tell me?"

She had been so proactive, yet this Male restrained himself.

Zhu Xiu sighed. "Wan Wan, I've been afflicted by the dark curse. It could flare up and hurt someone at any time."

She looked up at him. "You are clear-headed now, right?"

Zhu Xiu hummed. "Before, I found out that energy stones could resist the backlash of the dark curse, which is why I was lying low in Wandering Beast City. But recently... you've seen it too, my condition is becoming increasingly unstable. In this situation, I can't take good care of you, let alone The Cubs."

Bai Wanwan opened her mouth, intending to say that she and Xin Feng were there.

But Xin Feng wasn't a fool. He had already helped Qiu Rong look after The Cubs once; he couldn't be asked every time.

Besides, the second litter of Cubs would also need his care.

In the process of raising The Cubs, she could, at most, play a supporting role.

Honestly, with so many Cubs, and all of them being so spirited, once they got a little older, forget five—even one would be very difficult for her to manage.

Without Zhu Xiu by her side, she truly couldn't raise the next litter of Cubs well.

Seeing her frown, Zhu Xiu guessed she had understood.

"Let's go. I'll send you back."

This time, Bai Wanwan didn't say anything more and obediently allowed herself to be coiled up by his long tail.

From behind him, she stared at his massive Beast form.

She gently stroked his tail. "When you've recovered, I'll bear you two litters of Cubs, okay?"

Zhu Xiu paused his gliding movement, the corner of his mouth lifting slightly. "Okay."

He wanted to be with Wan Wan forever, raising their Cubs together.

Therefore, he would definitely find a way to eliminate the dark curse on his body.

"Then you must come back to accompany me for two days after some time."

"Okay, I'll bring you fish and shrimp back."

"And Snow Beast meat. I quite like roasted Snow Beast meat."

The two of them chattered all the way down the mountain. As soon as they entered the Tribe, they heard someone arguing.
