203: Chapter 203 Ears That Were Dripped Red

Chapter 23: Ears Red as Blood

The Male looked average, but his strength was outstanding.

Originally, after Zhuo Ling came to the Golden Lion Tribe, her only thought was to have a Pairing Ceremony with Jin Yi.

But now... Jin Yi's heart was clearly not on her.

Even if he said he wouldn't have a Pairing Ceremony with Bai Wanwan.

In her eyes, Bai Wanwan's temperament was special, unlike any Female she had ever known.

Most Females seemed stupid and clumsy to her.

But in her few interactions with Bai Wanwan, she always felt that Bai Wanwan's smiling eyes could see through her thoughts.

Moreover, since Bai Wanwan could attract so many powerful and excellent Males, wouldn't Jin Yi be attracted too?

Bai Wanwan was the biggest threat among all the Females she had met in her life.

Only by driving Bai Wanwan away could she feel at ease.

Without Bai Wanwan, she believed that as long as she was given enough time, she could soften Jin Yi's attitude and have a Pairing Ceremony with him.

"Are you Call Zhuo Ling?"

The Male had a square face and a broad nose, with a scar on his left cheek, but his sturdy build and calloused hands proclaimed his strength.

She knew him!

He was one of the few Yellow-Tier Beastmen in the Golden Lion Tribe.

She restrained her anger and showed a soft smile, "Yes, my name is Zhuo Ling. What's yours?"

"I... my name is Jin Xi."

At this moment, the Male named Jin Xi was rubbing his hands awkwardly, his ears so red they looked like they were about to bleed, but his eyes were startlingly bright, staring straight at her.

The frustration Jin Yi had brought her was dispelled by the appearance of the Male before her.

She was all too familiar with this look; it was how a Male looked when he fell in love with her.

In the past, she had seen it so much she found it a bit annoying, but today, a thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

"Jin Xi..."

She deliberately softened her voice, making the Male's body instantly stiffen.

"I happen to be heading back to my residence. Why don't you walk with me?"

"Okay, okay."

Jin Xi was so excited he was a bit flustered, hurriedly following half a step behind her.

Zhuo Ling observed him from the corner of her eye—though he looked rugged, his strength as a Yellow-Tier was indeed notable in the Tribe.

Most importantly, a Male so obsessed with her was the easiest to manipulate.

"Do you know Female Bai Wanwan?"

Jin Xi was taken aback, "I've seen her once, from a distance."

Zhuo Ling turned and looked up at him, "Then do you think she is pretty or I am pretty?"

"I..."

Before, he actually thought Female Bai Wanwan was very beautiful, but he hadn't had the chance to get close.

But now, his mind was filled only with the Female in front of him.

Seeing his reaction, Zhuo Ling's eyes clouded with displeasure, "I see, you all think Bai Wanwan is better than me. You like her too, don't you?"

Jin Xi noticed that Female Zhuo Ling seemed angry and hurriedly waved his hands, "I don't! Although she is beautiful, I think you are better."

Only then did a smile return to the corners of Zhuo Ling's mouth, "Then if I give you a chance to become my Beast Husband, would you be willing?"

The Male didn't seem to expect such a good thing to fall into his lap, his Adam's apple bobbing sharply, "Female Zhuo Ling, is what you're saying true?"

Zhuo Ling winked at him, "Of course it's true, but I need to test you. Once you pass my test, I will let you become my Beast Husband."

"Okay, as long as I can become Female Zhuo Ling's Beast Husband, I will risk my life to pass your test."

Zhuo Ling's eyes flickered, "Remember what you just said!"

The afterglow of the setting sun stretched their shadows long. Before Bai Wanwan and Xin Feng were even halfway there, two familiar figures appeared ahead.

Yan Lie paced back and forth anxiously, his beast skin boots leaving deep marks on the ground, while Zhuo Xiu stood still like an ice sculpture, his dark hair fluttering slightly in the evening breeze.

"Where did you go?" Zhuo Xiu's voice was three shades deeper than usual.

Bai Wanwan's fingertips curled unconsciously.

She had just told Xin Feng everything; if she kept it from them, it would be a bit biased.

She didn't want to see a scene where the jealousy overflowed.

She gently let go of Xin Feng's hand, lifted her skirt, and stepped forward slowly: "I went to discuss something with the Clan Leader. Why did you two come here?"

Zhuo Xiu's red-glowing pupils moved past her exquisite and beautiful smile, landing on Xin Feng behind her, "What are you helping Wan Wan hide?"

As Zhuo Xiu spoke, the surrounding temperature seemed to drop a few degrees.

Xin Feng was not affected by his aura, his expression as gentle as ever, "Wan Wan didn't intend to hide it from you, besides, I only just found out myself."

"Is something wrong with your body again?"

Yan Lie rushed forward, nervously grabbing her hand and asking, "You avoided us to act alone, it must not be a small matter!"

Bai Wanwan broke into a bright smile, her eyes curving into crescents: "Don't be nervous~ I just need a certain medicinal herb. If I told you directly, you would definitely take risks for me regardless of the cost."

After speaking to Yan Lie, she turned her gaze to Zhuo Xiu, "I just wanted to test the Clan Leader. If he has it, I can exchange for it. That way, you don't have to take risks, and I'll be more at ease."

"Did the Clan Leader agree?" Yan Lie pressed.

"Um... I still need to think about it."

"What conditions did he propose?" Zhuo Xiu immediately hit the nail on the head.

As expected, she couldn't fool them...

Bai Wanwan's tone was soft, "He wants me to have a Pairing Ceremony with Jin Yi. But... Jin Yi doesn't like me, and I can't ruin his life because of myself."

A dark light flashed in Zhuo Xiu's eyes, and he suddenly bent down to pick her up in a horizontal carry.

Bai Wanwan naturally raised her arms to hook around his neck, the Male's cold scent enveloping her.

"Let's talk when we get home."

Surprisingly, after returning to the Stone House, the usually inseparable Zhuo Xiu and Xin Feng both left, leaving only Yan Lie to stay by her side.

"Are you hot?"

Yan Lie found a large leaf from somewhere and clumsily fanned her.

The sultry air caused fine beads of sweat to break out on his forehead, sliding down his sharp jawline.

Bai Wanwan squinted comfortably: "A little more to the left~"

A few fluffy Wolf Cubs took the opportunity to pounce at her feet, only to be 'hissed' at by the Snake Cubs coiled on her lap.

The little Wolf Cubs spun around in a hurry, letting out milky 'awoo' cries, but didn't dare to actually step forward.

Only the Female Snake Cub nestled lazily in her arms, flicking her tongue every now and then.

Yan Lie watched this scene, his fanning motion gradually slowing down. When Bai Wanwan turned to look at him, she caught a fleeting look of envy in his eyes.

Her heart softened, and she proactively took his large, calloused hand: "When my body recovers, I'll give you the first litter of Cubs, okay?"

Yan Lie tightened his palm, completely enveloping her slender fingers.

The usually sunny and fiery Male's voice carried a hint of lingering fear, "The Cubs aren't important. I just want you to be well. Don't be like last time, when no matter how I called, you wouldn't wake up..."

Bai Wanwan knew these Males had been terrified last time.

She tilted her head and rested it lightly on his shoulder: "I scared you, didn't I? When I'm fully recovered..."

She raised her head and whispered something in his ear, and Yan Lie's ears instantly turned red as blood.
