123: Chapter 123: Unmoved

Bai Wanwan looked at his tightly closed eyes and pursed her lips: Looks like I need to up the intensity!

She reached out to stroke his chin, then followed down past his Adam's apple...

She deliberately stroked him gently back and forth, teasing him.

Suddenly, the Male moved, his powerful palm gripping her wrist.

“So you weren't asleep?” she chuckled softly.

“Don't move around recklessly.”

His deep voice had a metallic rasp to it; it was very pleasant to the ear.

Perhaps because Bai Wanwan already harbored ulterior motives, she was so stirred by this voice that her heartstrings quivered, and for the first time, she felt a strong urge to pounce on him.

Her other hand brushed across the muscles of his shoulder and gave a light poke at his heart.

She leaned close to Zhu Xiu's ear on purpose, speaking to him in a breathy whisper.

“What's wrong with moving around?”

As a full-blooded adult Male, how could Zhu Xiu have ever encountered such tactics? His self-control was on the verge of collapsing instantly.

He suddenly flipped over, trapping her between his arms.

Bai Wanwan raised her hands to hook around his neck and asked coquettishly, “Zhu Xiu, let me bear your Cubs. Once they're born, I'll raise...”

Zhu Xiu's lips abruptly blocked the rest of her words.

Bai Wanwan's eyes curved into crescents, thinking she had succeeded.

She relaxed and tilted her head back, trying her best to respond to him.

Zhu Xiu seemed to have released the beast within; his kiss was fierce and ruthless, as if he wanted to crush her entire being.

But at the final moment, he stopped, panting heavily.

If there were light at this moment, one would see a layer of mist in Bai Wanwan's eyes; she was a bit dazed by Zhu Xiu's sudden withdrawal.

After a good while, she finally regained her senses and called out to him, “Zhu Xiu?”

Zhu Xiu sat on the edge of the bed sideways, not looking at her.

Bai Wanwan propped herself up on her arms and tilted her head to look at him, “What's wrong?”

Is he even a Male?

At a time like this, he suddenly stopped the car.

Then, something even more mind-blowing happened.

Not only did he stop the car, but he also got up, picked her up, and carried her to Xin Feng's Stone Bed next door.

Xin Feng hadn't been able to fall asleep; his hearing was excellent, and he could hear some of the commotion from next door.

He told himself he had to learn to accept it; in the future, Wan Wan wouldn't just have Zhu Xiu as a Beast Husband, she would have even more.

But even as he comforted himself this way, the knot in his heart could not be immediately untied.

So, he let those sounds drill into his ears, constantly torturing himself, forcing himself to accept it.

Suddenly, the sounds changed; it seemed like something had happened.

He turned his head to look out.

Before long, Zhu Xiu strode toward his Stone Bed.

Wan Wan was still in his arms.

Xin Feng lifted the beast skin and sat up, asking him, “What's wrong?”

Zhu Xiu said nothing, handing Wan Wan directly into his arms and saying hoarsely, “Take good care of Wan Wan.”

After saying that, he strode to the door, pulled it open, and walked out.

With the sound of the door closing, the room fell silent, save for the occasional thin snoring of The Cubs.

“Wan Wan, what happened between you two?” Xin Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at the Female in his arms.

Bai Wanwan was almost laughing out of anger; he was actually asking her what happened.

“You should ask him.”

The atmosphere had clearly been great just now, and Zhu Xiu's possessiveness toward her was very intense; as a Female, she had felt it clearly.

Yet he could actually calm down and push her away.

She knew he had his reasons, but she had hers too.

The countdown on her life was about to begin; if she didn't get pregnant, she'd have to deduct points to exchange for life force.

She liked Zhu Xiu; if she had to have Cubs, she still wanted to give him a whole litter.

Xin Feng sighed, turning to lay her down flat on the bed.

“It's getting late, you should sleep first.”

“Okay, I really am sleepy.”

Even though nothing had actually happened, the excitement followed by the calm was quite exhausting.

She burrowed into Xin Feng's covers; there was a faint woody scent inside.

Xin Feng was probably the most hygiene-conscious Male among them all; he even had a faint fragrance.

Bai Wanwan rolled over and hugged Xin Feng, who had just lain down.

“Xin Feng, you smell so good.”

Xin Feng sighed and wrapped his arms tightly around her, “Wan Wan, I am also a Male. If you still want to sleep, don't provoke me.”

Bai Wanwan really didn't want to toss and turn anymore, not to mention she intended to conceive Snake Cubs this time.

She'd mess with him after she was pregnant.

She immediately closed her eyes and went to sleep obediently.

Listening to her steady breathing, Xin Feng felt a bit disappointed.

When the Little Female had just returned two days ago, the looks she gave him clearly showed she wanted him.

As it turned out, even after being back for so many days, he still hadn't truly been intimate with her once.

After Bai Wanwan fell asleep, Xin Feng still suffered from insomnia.

But Bai Wanwan didn't know; she slept quite soundly. By the time she woke up naturally, Xin Feng's figure was already gone from her side.

Thinking that it was his turn to go up the mountain today, was Zhu Xiu at home?

“Host, the countdown starts tomorrow. You must hurry, otherwise points will start being deducted.”

“Fine, I get it. Can't you see I'm working on it?”

She threw off the covers and got up, casually putting on a cotton robe and walking to the door to look out.

Zhu Xiu was sitting in a nearby clearing processing prey, with several Cubs circling around him, occasionally eating the chunks of meat he threw over.

Bai Wanwan immediately got excited; it was good that he was home!

She scooped water from the stone vat to wash herself clean and took out several dresses she had exchanged from the System Mall.

She picked out a purple gauze dress that she thought looked the best.

While keeping an eye on the Male outside, she braided her hair into a loose plait, even using a gauze ribbon to weave into it.

After some embellishment, she looked at herself in the mirror with great satisfaction.

So beautiful, like a little fairy!

She withdrew her gaze happily and turned to walk outside.

Bai Wanwan didn't believe her charm couldn't conquer him!

Zhu Xiu had soaked in cold water for most of the night, yet the fire he had finally suppressed was ignited once more the moment he looked up and saw the Female.

A crimson light flickered in his pupils.

Bai Wanwan walked behind him with a beaming smile, wrapping her arms around his neck and pressing against his back, “You've been busy for so long, why not come inside to rest a bit?”

Zhu Xiu grabbed her fingers that were deliberately stroking his neck, holding them very tightly.

“What's wrong?” she asked, knowing full well.

As soon as she finished speaking, Bai Wanwan gave a startled cry as Zhu Xiu grabbed her hand and hoisted her directly onto his shoulder, striding toward the house.

The corners of Bai Wanwan's mouth curved up; she knew it—how could all her theoretical knowledge fail to take down a single snake?

Zhu Xiu strode into the room and placed her on the Stone Bed. Bai Wanwan shifted, deliberately striking an alluring pose.

She slowly raised her eyes, intentionally seducing him.

As a result, as soon as she lifted her eyelids, she saw a beast skin coming down over her head.

Only after the beast skin had completely covered her graceful figure and beautiful face did Zhu Xiu close his eyes, forcibly suppressing his desires.

Bai Wanwan threw off the beast skin and sat up with a start, looking at Zhu Xiu with a face full of confusion, “Wait... Zhu Xiu, is there something wrong with your body?”

She had gone this far...

His self-control was so good it was to the point of making one think something was wrong.

His possessiveness was clearly so strong.

She had even used all her rich theoretical knowledge, even getting up early in the morning to rummage through her things to dress herself up beautifully.

And yet, he was still indifferent.
