154: Chapter 154 The Wrath of the Candle Master

Xin Feng noted the frustration in his expression and raised a hand to pat his shoulder in comfort.

"Don't worry. Although it will take time for Zhu Xiu to accept you, since Wan Wan has made her decision, she won't give up on you easily."

He knew Wan Wan's personality. At first, she hadn't intended to accept Yan Lie, and back then, no matter what he or Zhu Xiu did, she wouldn't intervene.

But since she had already accepted Yan Lie, in her heart, Yan Lie was actually the same as them. Wan Wan wouldn't easily wrong one Beast Husband for the sake of another.

Yan Lie's eyes lit up, and the unease in his heart faded slightly.

Xin Feng didn't say more to him. After a few words of comfort, he followed Zhu Xiu and Bai Wanwan into the house, leaving Yan Lie outside watching longingly.

Inside the house, after Zhu Xiu gently set Bai Wanwan down, he sat down beside the Stone Bed.

And her hand was held within his palm.

Zhu Xiu's expression wasn't very good, and he kept his lips pursed after entering the room.

But Bai Wanwan could tell that he wasn't sulking or angry with her.

After thinking for a moment, she roughly understood.

"Unhappy?"

Bai Wanwan propped herself up on her arms and leaned in front of him, blinking her eyes to tease him.

Zhu Xiu sighed. "No."

"No? It's clearly written all over your face that you're unhappy."

As Bai Wanwan spoke, she tilted her head up and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "Does this make you feel a bit happier?"

Zhu Xiu's gaze indeed softened a little.

Bai Wanwan leaned in with a beaming smile and kissed his lips again. "How about this? Are you even happier?"

Bai Wanwan pulled back slightly, the bright smile on her face becoming somewhat alluring. "If it's still not enough... then I'll just have to..."

Before she could finish, the back of her head was held by the man's large hand, followed by a fiery kiss.

Bai Wanwan relaxed her body, smiling as she raised her arms to hook around his neck, responding gently.

The kiss stained Zhu Xiu's eyes with desire, but he still forced himself to exercise restraint and let her go.

His fingers brushed over her crimson lips. "My condition is unstable. Fortunately, Xin Feng is here to stay by your side."

From this moment on, Zhu Xiu truly accepted Xin Feng in his heart.

Even if he couldn't accept other Males, he could force himself to accept Xin Feng taking care of Wan Wan alongside him.

Now, it was Bai Wanwan's turn to feel guilty.

"Actually... about that..."

The words were on the tip of her tongue, but Bai Wanwan felt as if her tongue were tied in knots, not knowing how to start.

After all, Zhu Xiu had only just recovered and was still full of debt and self-reproach toward her.

Just as Bai Wanwan didn't know how to speak, Xin Feng, who had been standing outside for a while, intentionally coughed.

Then he slowly walked in.

"Zhu Xiu, I have some things to say to you. Come with me for a moment."

Only then did Zhu Xiu move his gaze away from Bai Wanwan's face and turn to look at Xin Feng. "Is it urgent?"

"Yes."

Xin Feng didn't say anything more, just stood to the side waiting quietly.

Once Zhu Xiu was sure, he turned to help Bai Wanwan lie down and even tucked the covers around her.

"Rest for a bit. I'll come back to see you in a while."

Bai Wanwan nodded, looking up to see Xin Feng giving her a reassuring look.

Bai Wanwan's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, settled down. Perhaps it would be better for Xin Feng to start the conversation, and she could talk to Zhu Xiu later.

Xin Feng turned and walked into the adjacent Stone House, and Zhu Xiu followed him in.

As Xin Feng turned around and was about to speak, Zhu Xiu took the initiative. "Does what you want to say have to do with that Male from earlier?"

His eyes held a sharp light.

"Yes, it's about him."

Zhu Xiu narrowed his eyes. "Are you trying to persuade me to accept him as Wan Wan's Beast Husband? If that's what you're thinking, I advise you not to speak. I'm very grateful that you've taken such good care of Wan Wan. My being able to accept you doesn't mean I can accept other Males."

Xin Feng wasn't surprised by his answer in the slightest.

"What if I told you that while you were away, the Black Dog Tribe was attacked by Eagle Beasts, and Wan Wan and The Cubs were almost carried away, but Yan Lie saved them?"

Xin Feng's tone was very calm, neither hurried nor slow.

"Eagle Beasts attacked the Black Dog Tribe?"

In his memory, there seemed to be a period of time when he was fighting those Eagle Beasts every day.

Eagle Beasts were his natural enemies; normally, he wouldn't actively provoke them.

So it was because he was worried about Wan Wan that he had been actively attacking Eagle Beasts in the wild.

"Yes, just a few days ago, the Black Dog Tribe lost many beastmen."

"He saved Wan Wan, so I owe him. I will thank him in other ways, but wanting me to share my Female with him is impossible."

There seemed to be no room for negotiation in Zhu Xiu's voice.

"What if it's Wan Wan's wish?"

These words caused Zhu Xiu's figure to pause as he looked back up at him again.

Xin Feng spoke again, "When you weren't looking, Yan Lie has been silently being good to Wan Wan. This time it just so happened that he guarded Wan Wan with me for several days and nights. He gave it his all and almost lost his life several times, but for Wan Wan, he never backed down."

"That only shows he's good to Wan Wan; it doesn't prove Wan Wan likes him."

"Wan Wan does like him. It was Wan Wan herself who asked him to stay."

Zhu Xiu took a deep breath, turned, and left.

This time, Xin Feng didn't speak to stop him.

He had said what needed to be said, and he believed Zhu Xiu wouldn't take his anger out on Wan Wan over this.

Bai Wanwan was lying on the bed touching the snake eggs and talking to The Cubs inside when she heard footsteps behind her.

Turning her head, she saw Zhu Xiu walking back quickly.

She subconsciously murmured, "That fast?"

Zhu Xiu came to the bedside but didn't sit down on the Stone Bed, standing tall by its side.

"Cough... You know everything?"

Oh my god... how do other Females handle this kind of situation?

"Do you like Yan Lie? Do you want him to be your Beast Husband?"

Bai Wanwan's eyes darted around as she hurriedly searched her limited brain capacity for words.

Ultimately, she decided to give up on being perfunctory and have a proper talk with him.

After her emotions stabilized, she reached out and patted the edge of the bed. "You're too tall. Sit down first, and I'll tell you."

Zhu Xiu was in a very bad mood, but he knew he couldn't blame Wan Wan.

It was his own unstable condition that had given another Male the chance to get close to her.

Suppressing the surging fire in his chest, Zhu Xiu sat down.

"Go ahead."

Bai Wanwan lifted the covers and sat up, looking up at him slightly. "I was the one who asked Yan Lie to stay. I want him to be my Beast Husband."

These words were like a fuse, quickly igniting the flames in Zhu Xiu's eyes.

The red light in his eyes gradually turned crimson, and just as it was about to flare up, Bai Wanwan grabbed his hand.

"Zhu Xiu, I really didn't like Yan Lie before, but he truly is very good to me, even willing to risk his life for me. I can't remain indifferent to his devotion. I'm sorry, I... I've already decided to let him stay as my Beast Husband."

"I know it's hard for you to accept right now, but... I've already decided..."

She still chose to face her own heart honestly.
