122: Chapter 122 I Want to Have His Baby

"Hmm?"

"It's that Male who helped us before; he wants to see you."

After Yan Lie endured the toxicity of a poisonous flower, he waited outside early in the morning, trying to wait for Bai Wanwan's two Beast Husbands to leave so he could see her.

But that Snake Beastman was clearly on guard against him and no longer let Wan Wan stay home alone.

He only wanted to see Wan Wan privately and have a good talk with her.

"Yan Lie?"

Bai Wanwan turned around, brought the sweet potatoes she bought from the system onto the cutting board, and said while peeling them, "Then tell him I have nothing to say to him. Tell him to hurry back to his own home and stop coming to find me."

Shi Hua froze for a moment. "But he... he seems to really want to see you, Big Sister."

Bai Wanwan sighed. "I can't give him what he wants. Being direct is better for him."

"Alright... then I'll go tell him now. He's still waiting to see you!"

"Mhm, go ahead."

After Shi Hua left, Bai Wanwan earnestly sliced the sweet potatoes. The sun had been nice lately, so she could slice some to dry and eat as snacks.

She didn't leave the vicinity of her home all day. She was either busy at home or sitting with Xin Feng accompanying The Cubs, living quite comfortably.

"It's almost dark. I'll take The Cubs back to the nest."

Xin Feng stood up to gather The Cubs. Bai Wanwan turned her head and saw a familiar figure in the distance.

He stood beside a stone wall, not hiding his form at all, just standing there openly.

Not only did Bai Wanwan see him, but Xin Feng surely saw him too.

But Bai Wanwan's gaze didn't linger. They didn't have a deep relationship, and by being heartless and cutting off his hopes, he could move on sooner and return to where he belonged.

She stood up as well. "It's getting cold. I'm going back inside too."

Xin Feng glanced at her but didn't say much.

"Host, Host, you've rested long enough this time. If you don't get pregnant with Cubs soon, you'll enter a life countdown, and points will start being deducted. Moreover, if you don't conceive for a long time, more and more points will be deducted later on."

As expected, it was an emotionless Childbirth System. She had only rested for a short while, and it was already urging her to give birth again.

"Alright, alright, I get it."

The system's voice made things a bit difficult for her.

What Zhu Xiu told her last time was indeed a very realistic problem.

His condition was unstable, and he couldn't take good care of The Cubs.

But she had transmigrated and bound with the Childbirth System; giving birth was essentially her career.

Xin Feng already had a litter of Cubs. If she had to give birth again, she still wanted to have them for Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu returned dragging prey when the sky was completely dark.

There was still a heavy scent of blood on him.

As Bai Wanwan was about to go to him, he dropped the prey aside and stopped her from approaching. "I'm covered in beast blood. I'll go wash up first."

"Then hurry back. I'll wait for you to eat."

After Zhu Xiu strode away, Bai Wanwan walked to the cave entrance to check the prey.

With the arrival of the Warm Season, the Males were all hunting hard, and every household's food supply became abundant.

"I remember we're running low on salt bricks."

She could exchange points for them in her system space, but now she needed to save points and use as few as possible.

"It's fine. Tomorrow I'll go find the beastmen in the Black Dog Tribe to trade. They must have plenty of salt bricks."

Xin Feng was frying meat strips for her, while Bai Wanwan gathered the Sweet potato slices she had dried in the afternoon—which weren't completely dry yet—into a stone basin.

Once everything was put away, Zhu Xiu walked back into the house from outside.

Because their home had Solar lamps that Bai Wanwan had exchanged, visibility wasn't an issue.

"Sit and rest for a bit. I'll go bring the food."

Bai Wanwan turned, walked to Xin Feng's side, tilted her head, and asked him, "Is it done frying?"

"Almost. Go sit down."

Now, they were all used to eating cooked food, so there was a large basin of fried meat on the table.

Before Bai Wanwan could even reach out, the two Males had already placed meat strips into her bowl.

She accepted happily with a smile.

After putting meat in Bai Wanwan's bowl, Xin Feng said, "Zhu Xiu, I've asked around the Tribe. The beastmen of the Black Dog Tribe don't seem to know about energy stones."

Zhu Xiu's situation was special. Xin Feng already knew he needed energy stones and hoped he would recover soon so he could take care of Wan Wan together with him.

"It's not surprising. energy stones are rare to begin with. Beastmen who know of their existence only want to keep them for themselves and won't just tell others."

If one could absorb an energy stone, it was the only way for high-level beastmen to rank up.

But without special methods and opportunities, it's impossible to absorb an energy stone.

Bai Wanwan's expression turned a bit more serious. "Then once your condition is more stable, we'll leave here and go to other Large Tribes to ask around."

Bai Wanwan also felt they should have two plans. If an energy stone could solve the problem, it would be best if they didn't have to spend points.

Otherwise, she would have to work hard to have three or more litters.

Moreover, the Beast World continent was full of dangers and lacked resources. If all her points were saved to remove Zhu Xiu's dark curse, how much longer would she have to live so miserably?

If there was another way to solve the problem, that would naturally be better.

The two Males chatted about energy stones for a long time. After all, they were the only two Males in this home, and both were indispensable.

While the two Males were chatting, Bai Wanwan coaxed The Cubs to sleep. After washing up, she slipped into Zhu Xiu's room.

Tonight, she had to find a way to persuade Zhu Xiu.

She wasn't a green recruit anymore, yet she still felt a little nervous when she saw Zhu Xiu's figure coming in from outside.

As soon as Zhu Xiu walked into the room, he knew Wan Wan was on his bed.

Much of the usual coldness in his eyes dissipated.

Knowing that Xin Feng was special to her, when she wanted to be close to Xin Feng the day he returned, his jealousy had flared up, and he insisted on keeping her by his side.

Her initiative today made him feel that he was also a Beast Husband she valued.

He walked slowly to the bedside and looked down at her.

Bai Wanwan was originally a bit nervous, but feeling the Male by her side, her heart gradually settled.

"Why aren't you coming up yet?"

"Mhm, right away."

Zhu Xiu slowly took off his beast skin and lifted the covers to lie inside.

Space under the covers was limited, and as their skin touched, his burning body temperature was quickly transmitted through her skin.

But what Bai Wanwan didn't expect was that he just lay there, and after a good while, there was still no movement.

She took the initiative to hold his hand and turned over to look at him.

In the darkness, she could only see his rough outline, but even so, he was strikingly handsome.

As the Female's fragrant and soft body pressed against him, Zhu Xiu used almost all his strength to restrain the fire burning within him.

Bai Wanwan also didn't expect his self-control to be so strong that he wouldn't even move.

If it were Xin Feng, if she were even a tiny bit proactive, that gentle and elegant Male would turn into a hungry wolf.

This King Cobra before her was actually completely unmoved.

"Are you asleep?"

Zhu Xiu kept his eyes closed, but her sweet scent and soft voice still permeated everything, stirring his restless nerves.

There are three updates today; I've finished writing and am still editing.
