207: Chapter 207 The Stone Flower is Gone

Chapter 27: Shi Hua Has Disappeared

The clothes on her shoulders slowly slid down, and her snowy-white, delicate skin gradually appeared in Yan Lie's field of vision.

The heat rising from his lower abdomen surged through his body. Yan Lie's breathing grew ragged, and the desire in his heart was becoming almost impossible to suppress.

He wanted to leave marks that belonged solely to him on her snowy-white skin, to drench her body in his scent.

That way, Wan Wan would belong to him completely!

But... he couldn't yet!

Yan Lie took a deep breath and quickly closed his eyes. He then fumbled to pull her clothes back up, covering all the beautiful scenery tightly.

Yan Lie's sudden action left Bai Wanwan stunned.

She hadn't expected that Yan Lie, who looked like he would pounce if she just beckoned with a finger, could be so resolute at a time like this.

Of course, she also understood that Yan Lie didn't dare touch her easily because he had been frightened before, treating her like a fragile vase.

After wrapping her clothes, Yan Lie still felt it wasn't enough. He pulled over a thin quilt from the side and wrapped her in it as well.

Only then did he hold her, breathing heavily. "Wan Wan, stop torturing me."

Bai Wanwan was helpless. "How am I torturing you... You're clearly torturing yourself."

She had already said she was fine and had even crawled onto him of her own accord, yet he could still do such a thing.

Fine... it was his own choice.

After all that tossing and turning, she was also a bit tired.

After wrapping her up, Yan Lie laid her flat on the bed again and held her, gently coaxing, "Wan Wan, sleep... Wait, wait until your body is better in the future, and I... I'll hold you again."

Bai Wanwan leaned back lazily, truly feeling a bit drowsy.

Since she didn't answer immediately, Yan Lie thought she was angry. He immediately held her, kissed her cheek, and said with reddened ears, "When the time comes, I'll agree to whatever you want."

These words chased away Bai Wanwan's sleepiness. She immediately opened her eyes, which were curved into crescent moons but held a hint of cunning. "You said it yourself, I'll remember that."

"Yes, I said it, and I'll keep my word."

Only then did Bai Wanwan close her eyes again with satisfaction. Before long, she drifted off to sleep.

The intense desire in Yan Lie's eyes slowly subsided as Bai Wanwan fell into a deep sleep.

His eyes were filled with love. Looking at the Female in his arms, his heart felt like it was melting.

He couldn't help but lean down and kiss her cheek. Then, feeling it wasn't enough, he moved to her lips and gave her a heavy kiss to satisfy his craving.

Bai Wanwan didn't know that Yan Lie, who had rejected her, was covering her face with saliva while she slept. She remained snuggled in his arms, sleeping sweetly.

Once he had kissed and held her enough, Yan Lie contentedly closed his eyes, wanting to sleep with her for a while.

He had intended to just take a nap and then get up, but Bai Wanwan slept for the entire afternoon.

When she woke up, Yan Lie was still by her side, his arm wrapped around her waist.

Hearing movement outside, Bai Wanwan realized that Xin Feng had already returned.

She poked Yan Lie's waist. "When did Xin Feng get back?"

"Just now. Do you want to sleep a bit longer?"

Bai Wanwan shook her head and propped herself up with her arms. "If I sleep more, I won't be able to sleep tonight."

She was now living the life she had once dreamed of—nothing but eating, drinking, and sleeping. If it weren't for the issues left by the original owner of the body, this life would be incredibly comfortable.

Because she had slept wrapped in a quilt, a thin layer of sweat had formed on Bai Wanwan's body.

She pulled back the quilt and opened her clothes to let some air in.

Just then, Mu Feng's voice came from outside. Yan Lie hurriedly grabbed the quilt to block her chest.

"Mu Feng is here. Wan Wan, hurry and put your clothes on."

Even as he said this, his own eyes were staring fixedly.

Bai Wanwan heard the voice as well. Without needing Yan Lie's reminder, she had already pulled up her clothes and tied them in a few quick motions.

"Has Shi Hua still not come over?"

Bai Wanwan was about to speak to Yan Lie when she suddenly heard Mu Feng say this outside.

She quickly moved past Yan Lie and got out of bed to put on her shoes.

As she walked out, she said, "I was sleeping this afternoon and didn't see Shi Hua. What's wrong? Is Shi Hua not at home?"

Mu Feng's expression turned somewhat grim. "I didn't go back up the mountain after I brought the prey back this afternoon. Hua Hua said she was going to bring some things over to Hu Yue... but she never came back."

"Have you gone to Hu Yue's house to ask?"

Mu Feng nodded, his features tight with worry. "I did. Hu Yue said Hua Hua sat at her house for a while and then left. I thought she was here with you, so I rushed over to ask..."

Hearing this... everyone felt that something wasn't right.

"Then did you ask Hu Yue when Shi Hua left?"

"She left a long time ago..." Mu Feng said with a heavy heart. "Since Hua Hua isn't here with you, I'll go out and look for her."

After speaking, Mu Feng turned and left. The words Bai Wanwan wanted to say got stuck in her throat.

She nudged Yan Lie beside her and urged urgently, "Go out and help Mu Feng look for her. It's almost dark; we need to find Shi Hua as soon as possible."

"But I have to watch over you."

Xin Feng was holding the meat he had cut for The Cubs. "Go ahead. I'll watch over things at home."

Yan Lie thought about how Shi Hua was Wan Wan's good friend. They had come to the Golden Lion Tribe together from the Black Dog Tribe. If something really happened to her, Wan Wan would surely be upset.

"Alright, then I'll go look for her. Wan Wan, don't worry. As long as Shi Hua is in the Tribe, she'll be fine."

Bai Wanwan could only think that way as well—Shi Hua must have been delayed by something.

After all, no one dared to casually harm a Female, and the order was even stricter in a Large Tribe.

After Mu Feng and Yan Lie left one after the other, Bai Wanwan couldn't sit or stand still, her mind wandering.

After Xin Feng finished feeding The Cubs, he saw her state, walked over, took her hand, and led her to sit down on a nearby Stone Stool.

"You should eat something first. If Shi Hua is fine, you're worrying for nothing. If something is wrong, you'll need enough strength."

Xin Feng placed a bowl of Stewed meat with potatoes in front of her. "Eat..."

Bai Wanwan didn't actually have an appetite, but Xin Feng was right. Anxiety and worry wouldn't solve the problem. She should eat first and wait for Yan Lie and the others to return with news.

She waited, but they still hadn't returned even after she finished eating.

Bai Wanwan sensed an unusual atmosphere and subconsciously began to wonder if Shi Hua's disappearance was intentional.

If it was intentional, who would have the motive?

Bai Wanwan had been sitting silently since she finished eating, appearing frighteningly calm.

Xin Feng accompanied her silently, no longer offering words of comfort. The fact that Yan Lie hadn't returned after so long spoke for itself.

It wasn't until late at night that the door was pushed open from the outside by Yan Lie, with Mu Feng following behind him.

Both their faces were flushed, and sweat beaded on their foreheads.

"Wan Wan, we searched the entire Tribe and couldn't find Shi Hua."

Yan Lie had no choice but to tell her this cruel result.

Mu Feng's lips were tight. When he looked at Bai Wanwan, his gaze was filled with pleading. "Wan Wan, can you help me ask the Clan Leader to order a search of the entire Tribe?"

I was afraid everyone would read too quickly and not be able to tell that Jin Yuan and Jin Yue are two different Females, so I changed Jin Yue to Hu Yue.
