214: Chapter 214 Bai Wanwan is gone!

Bai Wanwan was using alcohol to disinfect his wound, asking without thinking, "What words?"

"The words you said just now when you grabbed me and wouldn't let me leave."

Bai Wanwan was focused on wrapping his bandage. Reminded by him, she recalled that she had indeed said some rather mushy things when her emotions had run high earlier.

She looked up at Yan Lie and found his eyes bright, staring at her unblinkingly, full of anticipation.

Bai Wanwan shot him a glare, "I'm not saying it."

As she spoke, she finished tying the bandage. Just as she was about to stand up, Yan Lie grabbed her wrist and pulled, and she landed steadily in his arms, sitting on his lap.

"You don't want your leg anymore? You're even letting me sit on your wound."

Yan Lie locked his arms tight, pressing his body against hers.

His breath sprayed against Bai Wanwan's neck, hot and rapid, "Wan Wan, I want to hear it."

The howling of the beasts outside was getting closer, and they could even smell a pungent, fishy odor.

"What time do you think it is? You're still focused on this."

Yan Lie held her hand, "The Cave entrance is so small, they can't get in. Even if they do, if they get stuck in the entrance, I can still take their lives."

After explaining this, he pulled the topic back, "Wan Wan, say it again."

He grinned, his smile bright and sunny, his clean, clear eyes focused on her as if she were his entire world.

Ultimately, she couldn't resist his gaze. She raised her hand to brush aside his loose hair and cupped his cheeks, "Fine, I'll say it again. Next time you encounter such a dangerous situation, I don't want you to choose to sacrifice yourselves to save my life. I hope we face it together."

If it happened again, Yan Lie knew he would still protect Wan Wan without hesitation.

But now that they were temporarily safe, he just wanted to go along with Wan Wan.

"Alright, I'll listen to you."

"Shh, don't speak."

The Cave shook more and more violently, and the sounds of trees being knocked down rose and fell.

The "thud, thud, thud" of stomping echoed almost right by their ears.

Those beasts were charging over!

Bai Wanwan was held tightly by Yan Lie, and both of them held their breath.

She leaned against Yan Lie's chest without moving, her gaze fixed on the only source of light.

Suddenly, a shadow blocked the light at the Cave entrance.

Bai Wanwan clearly felt the hand on her waist tighten a fraction.

Roar...

After a beast's roar, a huge head poked in from outside the Cave.

Bai Wanwan watched that sudden head, her heart skipping a beat.

Yan Lie helped her up quickly, shielding her behind him.

The beast at the entrance struggled to squeeze in, but the Cave entrance was too small, trapping its massive body outside.

Bai Wanwan managed to heave a sigh of relief, but soon, soil began to tumble down with a rustling sound.

If this continued, the Cave entrance would be crushed, and they would have nowhere to hide!

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to speak, Yan Lie had already transformed into his original form and rushed in front of the beast, biting its neck in one go...

At first, the beast struggled violently, but soon, it stopped moving.

Worried that Bai Wanwan would be scared, Yan Lie quickly retreated to her side.

The only source of light, the Cave entrance, was blocked by the beast's corpse.

Yan Lie shielded her as he stepped back, "Don't be afraid."

He protected Bai Wanwan as they hid deep inside the Cave, Yan Lie still whispering to soothe her, "Once this wave of the beast tide passes, I will take you back to the Tribe immediately."

"Mm, I'm not afraid, don't worry about me."

As they spoke, there was suddenly movement at the Cave entrance again.

The beast carcass blocking the entrance was dragged away by something.

Light spilled in once more.

Bai Wanwan saw a massive figure swaying at the Cave entrance.

Heavy breathing was clearly audible; the creature seemed to be sniffing for something, letting out a dissatisfied growl.

Yan Lie let her go, intending to step forward and ambush it to use the same trick again.

But just as he let go, a louder roar came from the distance.

The creature at the entrance seemed to have its attention drawn away; after letting out a howl in response, the heavy footsteps gradually faded into the distance.

Afterwards, they didn't get close to the Cave entrance again. Several times, beasts lingered at the entrance, but none of them squeezed in again.

Yan Lie held her, and the two leaned against each other, waiting for time to pass.

The chaotic sound of beast hooves gradually became sparse.

"The beast tide seems to have passed..." Bai Wanwan whispered.

"Wait a bit longer; it's still dangerous to go out now."

It wasn't just dangerous to go out now; Yan Lie still had an injury on his leg. If they went out, their scent would be picked up by those beasts, and they would fall into danger again.

It was better to stay here for now; once he recovered, they could escape faster.

They didn't even need to go out to hunt; she had enough food in her space to deal with this crisis.

When Xin Feng and Mu Feng found Shi Hua, she was hiding in a hollow tree trunk.

"Hua Hua?"

Mu Feng quickly stepped forward and scooped up his Female. After checking and finding her unharmed and her breathing steady, he almost wept with joy.

Shi Hua opened her eyes groggily, and upon seeing her Beast Husband, she burst into tears with a "wa."

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid, it's all over..."

Shi Hua hummed in acknowledgment. She didn't have time to say more; her stomach had been hurting for half a day. She hadn't felt it while she was asleep, but now that she was awake, it started hurting again, and it was getting worse each time.

She panted rapidly, "Mu Feng, my stomach hurts, hurry and take me back."

"Alright, we'll go back right now."

Mu Feng was full of anxiety, carrying Shi Hua as he ran back.

All the Males breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing the found Little Female.

Jin Yi's brows also relaxed a bit. He knew clearly that if anything happened to this Little Female, Bai Wanwan would definitely punish all the Females who participated in this matter for her sake.

When that time came, as the Young Clan Leader, he didn't know whether he should protect them or not.

This situation now was the best outcome.

In the midst of the beast tide, it was not advisable to stay in the forest for long. A group of Males protected Shi Hua and ran wildly across the grassland, quickly returning to the Tribe.

Shi Hua's condition was already very bad; her face was pale, and she kept wailing in pain.

"Xin Feng, Hua Hua is not doing well. Could you please help me go and invite the Clan Witch?"

"Alright, you take her back first, I'll go invite her immediately."

By the time Xin Feng brought the Clan Witch, Shi Hua had already given birth to two Cubs.

Mu Feng had just become a Father Beast. His face was full of joy, and he held his Cubs, looking at them non-stop.

Xin Feng stood there for a while too, before quickly walking towards his home.

It was too late; Wan Wan was likely already asleep.

But he still wanted to take a look.

He gently pushed open Yan Lie's room and slowly walked inside.

However, he soon felt that something was wrong; there was no scent of Wan Wan in the room.

He quickened his pace and walked over. The Stone Bed was completely flat; not only was there no sign of Wan Wan, but Yan Lie was nowhere to be seen either.

What was going on?

Xin Feng turned around quickly and searched the entire room, but couldn't find any trace of them.

His mood instantly turned heavy. He transformed into a Silver Wolf, leaped out of the room, and ran towards the direction of the Tribe gate.

The beastmen guarding the gate stopped him, "The Young Clan Leader just gave an order: from now on, no beastman is allowed to go out."
