184: Chapter 184 The Suspicious Points in Her Words

Bai Wanwan tried to pull her hand back, but couldn't free it.

Yan Lie held a skewer of roasting meat in one hand, while his other hand gripped her soft little hand, giving it an occasional squeeze.

Wan Wan's hand was so soft, so comfortable.

Finally, a skewer of meat was done roasting. Yan Lie lifted it up, blew on it to cool it, and carefully brought it to her lips. 'Wan Wan, you must be hungry, right? Eat up.'

Bai Wanwan opened her mouth and took a bite of the meat. The meat juices blended perfectly with the seasoning, giving it a delightful chewiness. It was incredibly delicious.

Just as she was about to give him a thumbs-up in praise, she saw Yan Lie staring at her, swallowing hard.

'Do you want some?'

Yan Lie's ears turned red. He made a soft sound of affirmation and looked away.

He didn't want the meat; he wanted Wan Wan.

Just as they were speaking, Shi Hua's voice came from outside.

'Mu Feng, you're back!'

A moment later, Mu Feng's voice came from outside as well.

'The hunt went well today. This catch should last us for several days.' Mu Feng tossed the prey onto the ground.

Bai Wanwan also set down her meat skewer and said to Yan Lie, 'I'm going out to take a look.'

When she came out, Mu Feng was stroking Shi Hua's prominently rounded belly. 'Have The Cubs been giving you any trouble?'

Shi Hua smiled at him. 'No, they've been especially well-behaved.'

Bai Wanwan didn't want to disturb their tender moment, but after looking behind Mu Feng several times, she still didn't see Zhu Xiu.

She had no choice but to ask Mu Feng, 'Mu Feng, where's Zhu Xiu? Why didn't I see him come back with you?'

Mu Feng raised a hand to wipe the sweat near his eyes. 'He went to check on the Piranha in the waterhole.'

He should be back soon, then. Bai Wanwan didn't disturb Mu Feng and Shi Hua any further and walked back to Yan Lie's side to roast meat with him.

'Zhu Xiu will be back soon. Let's roast faster so we can eat as soon as he returns.'

Yan Lie shifted closer, pressing against her side. 'Wan Wan, tomorrow night you'll sleep in my room, right? We agreed on that.'

He hadn't succeeded earlier, and now he was worried something else might interfere.

Bai Wanwan turned her gaze to him and saw the Male staring at her with intense, burning eyes.

'Okay.'

Yan Lie's eyes instantly brightened, resembling a big dog who'd just been given a bone.

He grinned so widely his eyes curved into crescents. 'You said it. No going back on your word.'

He wished it could be tomorrow night right that instant. That way, Wan Wan would belong to him.

Her Beast Husband's energy was too vigorous. Bai Wanwan was a little worried about whether she could handle it tomorrow.

Soon, most of the meat was roasted, and the rich aroma of meat wafted far and wide.

Beastmen passing by couldn't help but take deep breaths, the delicious smell making their mouths water.

By the time almost all the meat was roasted, Zhu Xiu finally returned.

Bai Wanwan pulled her hand from Yan Lie's grip. 'I'm going to see Zhu Xiu.'

'Oh.' He reluctantly let go, watching as Wan Wan walked toward the other Male.

As soon as Zhu Xiu entered the room, his gaze landed on them.

Only when Bai Wanwan actively walked over to him did he withdraw his gaze.

'I asked Mu Feng earlier. He said you went to see the Piranha. Do you really plan to catch them?'

Zhu Xiu had already washed off the bloodstains on his body, leaving only a faint trace of the metallic scent.

Bai Wanwan reached out and took his hand. 'If it's too dangerous, just forget about it.'

Zhu Xiu clasped her hand in return. 'You like eating those things, and Piranha flavor is what Females love most.'

The food enjoyed by the Sacred Female of a Super Tribe was now right under their noses.

Even if he didn't know the method, he still wanted to try.

Besides, now they did know a method for catching them.

Wan Wan was a Sacred Female. She deserved to enjoy the very best of everything.

'No matter how delicious, your safety is more important.'

Bai Wanwan admitted that eating was an indispensable and important part of her life.

But she couldn't let her Beast Husbands take risks just for a bite of food.

Zhu Xiu's hardened heart warmed at her words.

Even his voice softened considerably. 'We'll try it first. If it's too dangerous, we'll think of another way. Don't worry. We won't gamble with our lives. After all... I want to stay by your side forever.'

Hearing him say this, Bai Wanwan felt much more at ease.

'You must be hungry. Go wash your hands first; we'll eat right away.'

She turned and called out to Xin Feng, who was still in the inner courtyard.

'Xin Feng, time to eat!'

The Males moved tables and chairs, some carrying tables, others carrying stools.

Soon, tables and stools were arranged in the courtyard, and the roasted meat and vegetables were placed on the stone table.

Everyone sat around together, enjoying the bountiful dinner.

Bai Wanwan occasionally brought up topics of conversation. Although the Males weren't particularly talkative, they all conversed harmoniously.

'I just went to check the waterhole. I plan to skip hunting tomorrow and go catch Piranha instead.'

Mu Feng nodded in agreement. 'Good. We'll give it a try tomorrow.'

Xin Feng frowned. 'Even though we have a method for catching them, there's still significant danger. Unless we all go together, the risk would be much lower.'

As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Bai Wanwan. 'But leaving the two of them, the Females, at home alone would make none of us feel at ease.'

Zhu Xiu nodded. 'Then you stay behind to protect them. I'll take Yan Lie and Mu Feng to catch the fish.'

This arrangement was best.

But Bai Wanwan immediately spoke up to stop them. 'There's no need to protect us. Xin Feng, you go with them. The Golden Lion Tribe is very safe. Moreover, the chief let us live here and sent so many supplies; he must want something from us. I'll be fine here.'

The Golden Lion Tribe had no external enemies. She wasn't very familiar with the other Beastmen either, and she didn't have any deadly grudges with anyone.

Yan Lie was still uneasy. 'Maybe... I should stay behind...'

'Don't worry,' Bai Wanwan smiled at him. 'It's not like you're going far. If you're really concerned, you can come back to check on us midway.'

Hearing this, everyone felt this arrangement was indeed the best.

Zhu Xiu pondered for a moment and finally nodded. 'Alright, then Xin Feng will come too. But after we leave, you and Shi Hua must stay home. Don't wander off.'

'I know, I know!' Bai Wanwan agreed with a smile. 'You all be careful too. Safety first. If it turns out to be too difficult to catch them, then just don't. It's not like we can only eat Piranha. We won't starve without it.'

'Okay, we promise.'

With the matter settled, everyone continued to feast heartily until the sky gradually darkened.

Outside, everything was already quiet and peaceful, only their courtyard remained lively.

Shi Hua, pregnant with Cubs, couldn't stay up any longer and was carried back to the room by Mu Feng.

Xin Feng, knowing that Wan Wan would be going to Zhu Xiu's room tonight, got up to tidy things up.

Right under Yan Lie's watchful gaze, Zhu Xiu bent down and picked Bai Wanwan up in his arms.

Above them was the pitch-black sky, dotted with countless stars.

Bai Wanwan leaned against his shoulder and pointed at the sky. 'Zhu Xiu, look...'

Zhu Xiu's dark eyes held only her, and he only wanted to look at her.

But moved by her captivating expression, he followed her pointing finger and looked up.

The sky was filled with twinkling points of light, something he was long accustomed to.

'Hmm? Look at what?'

He didn't quite understand what Bai Wanwan meant.

'I'll tell you... my home might be on one of those stars.'

She didn't know if she had traveled to a different planet or a different time.

At this moment, she missed Modern Times quite a bit.

'Your home?' Catching the doubt in her words, Zhu Xiu lowered his head and stared at her face as he asked.
