153: Chapter 153 Awakening the Candle Cultivator

Zhu Xiu remained motionless as Bai Wanwan raised her head to meet his gaze.

Yan Lie, having suffered at Zhu Xiu's hands before, was on edge and deeply worried.

He whispered to Bai Wanwan, "Wan Wan, I'll distract him in a moment. You slide down quickly, and I'll find a way to escape."

No matter how quiet his voice was, it still alerted the King Cobra.

The snake's tongue flicked with a "hissing" sound, and Zhu Xiu's massive head was about to turn back.

Bai Wanwan immediately raised her voice and continued, "Zhu Xiu! Don't you want to see your Cubs?"

Bai Wanwan pointed toward the room. "They are all very healthy. I gave birth to them safely."

Seeing that he still hadn't reacted much, Bai Wanwan immediately called out to Xin Feng standing below, "Xin Feng, go bring the eggs out for Zhu Xiu to see."

Yan Lie immediately shook his head. "No, Wan Wan. If Xin Feng leaves, what if Zhu Xiu attacks you?"

He was currently restrained; if danger arose, he wouldn't be able to rescue Wan Wan immediately.

"He won't. Zhu Xiu won't hurt me."

Bai Wanwan responded to Yan Lie, but her eyes were on Xin Feng, filled with trust. "Xin Feng, the most important thing right now is to awaken Zhu Xiu. Look, he doesn't actually intend to harm us."

If they could take this opportunity to wake Zhu Xiu, it would be for the best.

Xin Feng hesitated for a moment but ultimately chose to do as Bai Wanwan said.

Just before leaving, he said to the King Cobra, "Zhu Xiu, do not harm Wan Wan, or you will regret it, and Yan Lie and I will hunt you down forever."

Whether or not the King Cobra understood, its head lunged forward, letting out a "hissing" warning at Xin Feng.

Xin Feng ignored the threat and turned to quickly enter the house.

Shi Hua had already heard their conversation and had gone inside ahead of time to bring out the snake eggss.

Seeing Xin Feng enter, she immediately handed them to him. "The eggs, here."

"Thank you."

Xin Feng took them and turned to walk outside.

The restless King Cobra seemed to catch a familiar scent.

His pitch-black eyes moved from Bai Wanwan and locked onto the eggs in Xin Feng's hands.

Xin Feng held the eggs high. "Do you see? These are the Snake Cubs Wan Wan gave birth to for you."

The King Cobra stared motionlessly at the small egg, his thoughts unknown, but his tail coiled around Yan Lie slowly loosened.

Yan Lie noticed and immediately freed himself.

After rolling across the ground, he prepared to spring up and take Bai Wanwan away.

Bai Wanwan noticed his movement and waved him off. "I still have things to say to Zhu Xiu. Don't worry about me."

Yan Lie wasn't at ease, but since Bai Wanwan insisted, he could only back away slowly to avoid provoking Zhu Xiu.

Bai Wanwan pressed close to Zhu Xiu, raising her hand to gently stroke his Beast Form, helping him relax and gradually get used to her presence.

“These are your little Snake Cubs... do you like them?”

Bai Wanwan smiled at him, unsure if he could understand. "When you recover, you can take care of them yourself, okay?"

She leaned down and said to Xin Feng, "Xin Feng, give the Snake Cubs to me."

Xin Feng complied, keeping a wary eye on the King Cobra as he approached Bai Wanwan step by step.

The King Cobra's gaze remained fixed on the snake eggss in his hands, without making any aggressive reaction.

Bai Wanwan successfully took the snake eggss from Xin Feng. "I'm going to talk to Zhu Xiu alone for a while. Keep an eye on Yan Lie and don't let him be impulsive."

Xin Feng also noticed that Zhu Xiu's emotions had stabilized significantly, and the black mist on his body was no longer as thick as before, slowly dissipating.

“Alright. Yan Lie and I will be nearby. If you feel something is wrong, call us loudly immediately.”

After Bai Wanwan nodded to him, Xin Feng slowly backed away, still somewhat uneasy.

Once Xin Feng left, Bai Wanwan turned her gaze back to Zhu Xiu. "Zhu Xiu, I have no experience at all. You need to recover quickly and come back to help me."

“I wonder what The Cubs will look like when they hatch. I'm quite curious. The Female Cub baby will definitely be beautiful; ideally, her eyes will be like mine and her face shape like yours...”

At first, Bai Wanwan was just making conversation on purpose, but as she spoke, the smile on her lips grew. She truly was looking forward to seeing what the snake babies would look like when they hatched.

Holding the snake eggss in one hand, she gently stroked his Beast Form with the other.

She knew Zhu Xiu didn't like being touched by others; she had been warned the first time she tried.

But now, she kept testing his limits, and he hadn't lost his temper with her.

This proved that even in this Berserk State, his body recognized her and wouldn't easily harm her.

“They are your Cubs, after all. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to let Xin Feng and Yan Lie take care of them? Come back soon and raise the Snake Cubs with me, okay?”

Bai Wanwan chattered on until it was nearly dark, when she noticed a flash of red seem to flicker in the King Cobra's eyes.

She quickly rubbed her eyes and stared intently at his pupils.

At that moment, a faint red slowly began to erode the heavy black...

“Zhu Xiu, you can hear what I'm saying, right?”

A joyful smile broke across Bai Wanwan's face as she called his name repeatedly.

“Zhu Xiu...”

“Zhu Xiu...”

Finally, after she had called out countless times, the King Cobra made a sound that was incredibly familiar to her.

“Wan Wan...”

Zhu Xiu's voice carried a hint of exhaustion, raspy and deep.

Scenes from just now were replaying in his mind; the Little Female had tirelessly spoken to him, helping him recover.

Her beautiful, snow-white little face was beaming with smiles, staring at him with full anticipation.

“I knew you would wake up!”

Bai Wanwan was overjoyed, hugging the Snake Cubs and pressing her face against his Beast Form.

However, just as she leaned in, the massive Beast Form suddenly vanished.

Bai Wanwan and the Snake Cubs fell into a broad, warm embrace.

Seeing Zhu Xiu's divinely crafted handsome face again, Bai Wanwan leaned contentedly against his shoulder. "You're finally back."

“I've made you worry, Wan Wan. Thank you.”

He gave the eggs in her hands only a glance before returning his gaze to her face.

“I'll take you inside to rest.”

With that, Zhu Xiu ignored the two Males nearby and carried Bai Wanwan toward the Stone House with large strides.

“Perfect, let me show you the other two Snake Cubs.”

Seeing Zhu Xiu transform back into Human Form, Yan Lie immediately started to follow.

Xin Feng reached out to stop him. "Don't go in yet. Wait until I've had a talk with Zhu Xiu."

Xin Feng knew Zhu Xiu's attitude well; if Yan Lie went in now, he feared it might cause more trouble.

Yan Lie's steps halted. Recalling Zhu Xiu's previous attitude toward him, he couldn't help but worry.

“If Zhu Xiu doesn't agree, will Wan Wan drive me away?”

Yan Lie's heart was in a panic; Wan Wan had only just agreed to let him be her Beast Husband.

But he knew in his heart that he currently couldn't compare to Zhu Xiu at all.

If Zhu Xiu didn't accept him...

Yan Lie was so worried that his entire face wrinkled into a frown.
