229: Chapter 229 Beautiful Females

Suppressing the emotions surging in his heart, Jin Yi stood up abruptly. "I'll go out and take a look. You should rest."

Bai Wanwan didn't call him back. Staring at his departing back, she felt that Jin Yi had been acting a bit strange over the past two days.

Jin Yi didn't go too far; he walked to the Cave entrance and sat down.

Bai Wanwan stared at him for a while before withdrawing her gaze.

Xin Feng slept for a long time. When he woke up and smelled the scent of the Little Female, his heart felt very settled.

But he soon realized that Wan Wan had actually sat there for half the day bearing his weight, and he couldn't help but feel some self-blame.

"Wan Wan, why didn't you wake me up?"

Bai Wanwan turned her head and smiled. "You were sleeping so soundly, how could I have the heart to wake you?"

Xin Feng raised his hand and massaged her shoulders. "If this happens again, wake me up. I can sleep lying down too."

The ground of the Cave was uneven and hard; even with beast skin spread out, it wasn't comfortable to sleep on.

Leaning against her probably made his sleep more comfortable, which was why she hadn't woken him.

While they were talking, Xin Feng noticed that Jin Yi was not there.

"Where is the Young Clan Leader?"

Hearing him ask, Bai Wanwan turned her head to look at the figure at the Cave entrance.

However, she discovered that Jin Yi, who had been sitting at the Cave entrance, was no longer in his spot.

"He was at the entrance just now. He might have gone out to investigate the situation."

The sky outside gradually darkened, and it became even cooler and more shaded by the Underground River.

Xin Feng knew Wan Wan was afraid of the cold, so he immediately stood up. "I just saw some dry wood in the Cave. I'll gather some and light a fire to drive away the cold."

"No, what if the firelight attracts wild beasts?"

Xin Feng shook his head with a smile. "Don't worry. Wild beasts are not sapient and have a natural fear of fire. With a fire here, they are less likely to suddenly jump out from the darkness to attack us."

Not to mention wild beasts, even they themselves had an innate fear of fire.

If it weren't for their own Female's preference for cooked food, they wouldn't have overcome their fear of flames.

Starting a fire had already become very simple for him.

After using flint to ignite dry grass leaves, he soon lit the dry wood.

The leaping flames grew brighter and brighter, dispelling the nearby darkness and chill.

Bai Wanwan rubbed her slightly cold fingertips and squinted her eyes comfortably.

While the two were sitting by the fire chatting, Jin Yi walked in from outside the Cave carrying a wild boar on his shoulder.

Approaching them, he dropped the wild boar and said to Xin Feng, "I see you've sustained some significant injuries as well. Eat some raw meat to replenish your energy."

He quickly processed the wild boar, using his claws to cut off half and tossing it to Xin Feng.

Bai Wanwan knew that as Males, they had to eat raw food; otherwise, they couldn't maintain their physical strength.

Fortunately, she was now accustomed to such scenes.

She held her Dried meat and nibbled on it slowly.

As she was eating, Jin Yi handed over a wrapped leaf.

"I picked some fruit while I was out just now."

Bai Wanwan reached out to take it and thanked him with a smile.

Opening the leaf, she revealed the red berries inside.

She happened to be getting a bit tired of the meat, so she picked up a berry and popped it into her mouth.

The sweet and crunchy texture was very refreshing, and she unknowingly finished the whole package.

Xin Feng watched all this in silence, his gaze sliding toward Jin Yi, who was sitting a bit further away.

Jin Yi didn't actually show much emotion; he had even deliberately distanced himself from them.

But Xin Feng had heard that the Young Chief of the Golden Lion Tribe had a cold personality and never had much contact with Females, let alone casually giving them fruit.

He withdrew his gaze and let it fall on Wan Wan, who was leisurely eating fruit with a blossoming smile.

He sighed softly in his heart. For such a beautiful Female, which Male wouldn't be moved?

Even he, as he spent more time with Wan Wan, found it harder and harder to let go.

Every day, he loved her more than the day before.

"What are you staring at me for?"

Bai Wanwan noticed his gaze and turned to ask.

Xin Feng smiled naturally and reached out to brush her lips. "There's juice on the corner of your mouth."

Bai Wanwan believed him and quickly wiped it herself.

Then she leaned in front of him. "Is there any more?"

"Yes, there's more."

Xin Feng gazed at her tenderly, his fingertip rubbing the corner of her lips several times.

"Is it gone yet?" Bai Wanwan tilted her head, clearly not quite believing him.

The smile on Xin Feng's lips deepened. He deliberately rubbed a few more times before saying, "It's gone."

For the next two days, they stayed temporarily at this narrow Underground River entrance.

At night, the two Males took turns on night watch, and everything remained peaceful.

On the morning of the third day, while Bai Wanwan was still fast asleep, she was shaken awake.

She immediately forced herself to wake up and asked Xin Feng, who was shaking her, "What's wrong?"

Just as she opened her eyes, she saw that it was still dark outside.

"The Young Clan Leader just investigated the situation and said the Beast Tide has retreated. We should hurry back to the Tribe now."

Hearing that they could return to the Tribe, any remaining sleepiness vanished completely.

She immediately sat up, packed everything away, and after a quick wash and a bite to eat, they set off.

Xin Feng transformed into his original form, and Bai Wanwan sat amidst his silver fur.

Jin Yi, walking in front, didn't look back; he just felt his back was empty and was a bit unaccustomed to it.

Bai Wanwan hugged Xin Feng's neck tightly, wanting to get back to the Tribe quickly; she wanted to go back and see The Cubs.

She also hoped that after the Beast Tide retreated, Yan Lie would be able to return immediately.

Jin Yi's speed was very fast, and Xin Feng was not to be outdone; one in front and one behind, they protected Bai Wanwan as they headed toward the Tribe.

While passing through the dense jungle, the galloping Jin Yi suddenly stopped.

The Golden Lion's massive head turned slightly, as if trying to discern something.

Xin Feng also noticed. "Something's wrong. Is the Beast Tide coming this way?"

Jin Yi quickly turned his head. "Yes, quickly retreat back to the Cave by the Underground River!"

The two Males immediately changed direction and headed back the way they came.

But this time they didn't get very far before their path was blocked by a small wave of wild beasts.

The Golden Lion let out a roar, which suppressed the wild beasts that were about to rush forward and bite.

Taking this opportunity, Jin Yi and Xin Feng began to fight back.

More than twenty small and medium-sized wild beasts were all torn apart by them.

After dealing with this small wave of beasts, Xin Feng's ears twitched as he heard dense sounds approaching from this direction.

The two Males didn't have time to say anything more; they raised their limbs and sprinted at their fastest speed toward the Cave entrance of the Underground River.

But... they were still a step too late.

When they reached the outside of the Cave, the entrance had already been blocked by the Wolf Pack.

They bared their teeth fiercely, revealing sharp fangs with saliva dripping from the edges...

Upon seeing them, the hungry wolves pounced toward them all at once.

Looking at the Wolf Pack composed of dozens of wolves, Bai Wanwan's heart turned cold.

"Wan Wan, you must hold on to me tightly."

Xin Feng knew that when facing a Wolf Pack, even a lion would find it difficult to escape unscathed.

With him and Jin Yi joining forces, there might still be a glimmer of hope.

"Okay, don't worry about me."

As Bai Wanwan spoke, she hugged Xin Feng tightly with one hand, while her other hand had already gripped the Watermelon Machete.

Jin Yi charged in front, directly knocking away several of the lead wolves.

After the wolves that were knocked away stood up stumblingly, they launched another attack toward Xin Feng...
