228: Chapter 228 He can't do that

Her palms were wet, stained with a sticky crimson.

She immediately grabbed Xin Feng's arm, tilting her head to inspect it carefully.

Looking past his shoulder, she finally saw the wound on his upper back.

It was a bloody mess, with blood still trickling down his beast skin.

"And you called it a minor injury! The wound on your shoulder and back has bled so much."

Without another word, Bai Wanwan pushed him, tugging his arm to make him sit down.

Xin Feng felt helpless, but seeing her worried expression, he had no choice but to follow her lead and sit.

"Take off the beast skin and let me see your injuries."

Xin Feng did as he was told, removing the tattered, blood-stained beast skin.

It revealed scratches and bite marks of all sizes across his body... everything was laid bare.

And all of these... were left from him risking his life to find her in the beast tide.

She pursed her lips, saying nothing; she didn't feel the slightest bit of sting for using an ointment that cost two thousand points.

She applied it all over Xin Feng's wounds.

Then she spent another two thousand points to exchange for a new one, continuing until every wound on his body had been treated.

The bleeding wounds were all quickly sealed.

Heaving a long sigh of relief, she took out a beast skin skirt from her space.

Xin Feng reached out to take it, but Bai Wanwan avoided his hand. "I'll help you put it on."

Xin Feng had seen many overbearing Females, but he had never seen a Female as gentle as Wan Wan, who treated her Beast Husband so well.

His heart felt swollen with emotion, giving him a sense of incomparable satisfaction.

The moment Bai Wanwan tied the belt for him, he pulled her by the waist.

"You first..."

Before she could finish, Xin Feng's kiss descended, his hot breath enveloping her.

Xin Feng's lips were somewhat chapped, yet exceptionally warm.

Bai Wanwan followed Xin Feng's rhythm, slowly closing her eyes.

She didn't notice a familiar figure appearing at the Cave entrance.

Jin Yi looked at Bai Wanwan and Xin Feng embracing tightly before him, their lips meeting in intimate closeness.

An unfamiliar emotion overflowed from his chest, making him feel a sudden urge to pull them apart.

Realizing this, he suddenly snapped to his senses.

He forcibly withdrew his gaze and turned away abruptly.

His steps were much heavier than when he had arrived as he silently left the space to them...

Bai Wanwan sensed Xin Feng's arousal and forcibly pulled back her reason.

"Xin Feng, Jin Yi is still nearby. Since Yan Lie's accident, he's been taking care of me. He just went out to scout the situation and will be back soon."

Xin Feng slowly loosened his grip, though his hand remained on her waist.

Actually, he had sensed Jin Yi's appearance just now.

But he didn't tell Wan Wan that Jin Yi had already been back.

"Sit and rest for a while, eat some meat and drink some water."

Bai Wanwan took out food from the system space and handed it to him.

During these days searching for her in the beast tide, he certainly hadn't had a proper meal, nor had he rested well.

Only after watching him eat plenty of meat did her heart feel a bit more at ease.

Noticing that Jin Yi had been gone for a long time, she turned toward the Cave entrance. "Strange, why has he been gone so long? He couldn't have run into danger, could he?"

"I'll go check at the Cave entrance."

Bai Wanwan lifted her skirt and walked to the entrance in a few steps to look out.

She looked up and saw Jin Yi standing in the distance with his back to her.

Huh?

He's back?

"Jin Yi..."

She tried to keep her voice down, calling to him in a whisper.

Males had keen hearing; in fact, the moment Bai Wanwan walked to the Cave entrance, he knew she had come out.

So, when she called, he turned around directly.

With only a slight hesitation, he set off toward the Cave entrance.

As he approached, the figure of the Male sitting in the Cave became clearer.

He recognized Bai Wanwan's Beast Husband.

But he had never looked at him closely before.

His gaze landed on the other man, and he subconsciously sized him up from head to toe.

Xin Feng sensed the other's gaze and smiled at him composedly. "Young Clan Leader, thank you for saving my Consort."

Jin Yi's lips twitched, but in the end, he said nothing else.

Xin Feng continued, "Were you just checking the situation? I've been around here lately; the beast tide outside the Tribe hasn't receded yet, so we can't go back for now."

"Then let's wait a bit longer."

Xin Feng thought the same; now that he had found Wan Wan, his heart was at peace.

Since they couldn't leave yet, the two Males felt the Cave entrance wasn't safe and led Bai Wanwan back to the narrow entrance of the Underground River.

"It's relatively safe here. If a beast tide attacks, we can retreat into the Underground River passage immediately."

After Jin Yi spoke, he turned to Xin Feng. "Have you been back near the Tribe? How is the Tribe's situation now?"

"No, but I've been observing nearby; the beast tide didn't destroy the Tribe."

The Golden Lion Tribe was a Large Tribe, after all, not like the Cat Clan or Dog Clan—small Tribes that would be in peril after a single impact.

There were enough Yellow-Tier Males and Green-Tier Males here.

The reason a beast tide was terrifying was its sheer numbers, but Mutated Beasts with true strength were very rare and wouldn't necessarily come down the mountain.

Upon hearing Xin Feng's answer, Jin Yi also visibly relaxed.

As time ticked by, Xin Feng, who was talking with Jin Yi, slowly leaned over, his head resting on Bai Wanwan's shoulder.

Bai Wanwan hadn't expected him to fall asleep while talking.

How long had it been since he'd had a good rest?

Feeling a pang of sympathy, she helped him lean steadily against her shoulder.

The Underground River was cold, so she took out a beast skin blanket from her system space to cover him.

After doing all this, she turned to see the silent Jin Yi.

After a thought, she took out another beast skin blanket from her space and handed it to him. "You've worked hard these past few days too. Since it's safe now, you should sleep for a while."

It was broad daylight, so her vision wasn't affected.

Besides, she had slept well last night and had plenty of energy.

She could stand guard and let the two Males get some proper rest.

They didn't know how much longer they would have to stay here, so maintaining their strength was most important.

"I'm not sleepy," Jin Yi said, then couldn't help but ask one more question. "Is he your First Beast Husband?"

Bai Wanwan hadn't expected Jin Yi to ask such a personal question.

She paused for a moment before replying, "Xin Feng was the First Beast Husband I had a Pairing Ceremony with, but... Zhu Xiu is my First Beast Husband."

This was the promise she had made to Zhu Xiu back then; there was no doubt that the First Beast Husband was Zhu Xiu.

Since her several Beast Husbands were equally important to her, who the First Beast Husband was didn't actually matter that much.

Jin Yi thought of that powerful Male.

He hadn't met Zhu Xiu many times, but he remembered that every time they met, Zhu Xiu's eyes held a bit of wariness.

Jin Yi now understood Zhu Xiu's meaning; he was guarding against every Male who approached Bai Wanwan.

Jin Yi had to admit that Bai Wanwan was different from any Female he had ever seen.

She possessed a strange power that always drew him to want to investigate further.

But he knew clearly that he could not do that.

Everyone, please don't wait for an extra chapter; it will definitely be very late. Check again tomorrow morning. Goodnight~~
