241: Chapter 241 Teasing

"The Young Clan Leader didn't say he doesn't like Female Bai Wanwan; he said he doesn't want to gamble..." the Elder replied with a smile.

Jin Cang's eyes lit up. "Are you saying that kid has actually already fallen for Bai Wanwan?"

It didn't sound like he was asking the Elder so much as talking to himself. After saying it, his brow relaxed.

Indeed... if Jin Yi truly didn't like that Little Female, why would he say such things?

His disagreement was more likely because he didn't want his sincere feelings to be misplaced.

The Elder reminded him from the side, "I see that Female Bai Wanwan and the others won't be leaving for the time being. There's no need for the Clan Leader to worry. Perhaps one day, when the Young Clan Leader finds himself unable to let go, he will fight for her himself without you even needing to speak."

Jin Cang nodded with a smile. "Yes... that boy is like me. If he's truly set his heart on something, being stubborn is useless; he'll go after it himself."

Thinking this way made his mood much better.

"Alright then, I won't interfere. Whether it works out or not depends on him."

Jin Yi was his only cub. Even though Bai Wanwan was a Sacred Female and he dearly hoped she could have a Pairing Ceremony with Jin Yi, he didn't want to force him.

After resting for two days, Bai Wanwan's spirit was much better, and her body had regained its strength.

The afternoon sun was just right. She sat lazily in front of the house soaking it up, while two furry little Cubs rolled around at her feet, occasionally tugging at the hem of her skirt with their paws.

"Awoo~"

A little cub tilted its head back, staring at her with watery eyes, its tail wagging happily.

Bai Wanwan squinted with a smile and reached out to rub their heads. "Still want to play?"

The Cubs immediately began to hop and skip excitedly, circling around her.

She nodded with a beaming smile. "Okay, then this time it's your turn to hide, and I'll come find you."

As soon as she finished speaking, the two Cubs dashed off joyfully, ducking into a nearby clump of grass, leaving two furry tails swaying back and forth.

Bai Wanwan couldn't stop laughing. Pretending not to see them, she walked past.

"Oh? Where did The Cubs hide? Why can't I find them?"

The Cubs could already understand her words. Even though they heard their Mother's footsteps right beside them, she couldn't find them, making them wag their tails as fast as propellers in excitement.

Bai Wanwan deliberately circled the area several times before calling out, "Cubs, where are you hiding? You're so good at this, Mama can't find you at all."

The Wolf Cub, who couldn't keep still at all, suddenly jumped out from the grass. It bounded over to her feet, its mouth grinning almost to the back of its ears as it hopped around excitedly.

Bai Wanwan laughed and scooped it into her arms, giving it a rub and a big kiss. "Mama's cub is so amazing! You hid so well, Mama couldn't find you."

The other Cubs also emerged, wanting her praise.

She certainly wouldn't play favorites; each one received a round of praise, kisses, and hugs.

"Alright, Cubs, go play by yourselves for a while." Taking care of Cubs was truly exhausting for a Mother.

She patted their bottoms and sent them off to play on their own.

Yan Lie had gone into the mountains today to hunt and scout the situation, and Zhu Xiu was also investigating the matter of the Golden Lion. Only Xin Feng was in the house preparing lunch.

She wanted to go inside to help, but as she turned around, she bumped into a broad chest.

Smelling the familiar scent, the corners of Bai Wanwan's mouth curled up.

"Why are you back so early today?" She tilted her face up and smiled at him.

Zhu Xiu had actually returned quite a while ago. Because Yan Lie was away today, he was uneasy and wanted to come back to check on things at home.

From a distance, he had watched her playing with The Cubs.

That heartwarming scene was like spring water soaking into his habitually cold heart.

He found himself becoming more and more addicted to the sweetness and happiness she brought.

If he were forced to wander the forest alone like the Wandering Beastmen again, he didn't think he could do it.

"I came back to see you."

A hint of a smile seeped into his pale red eyes.

Bai Wanwan raised her hands and hooked them around his neck. "Well, have you seen enough? Do you want to see more?"

"Not enough..." Zhu Xiu's hands moved to her waist, the heat from his powerful arms surrounding her.

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to tease him, she suddenly heard Yan Lie's voice coming from behind the Stone House.

"Wan Wan... I'm back."

Yan Lie was carrying prey, his pace brisk. He hadn't seen Wan Wan for half a day and wanted to hug his Little Female.

Hearing Yan Lie's call, Bai Wanwan was about to respond.

However, Zhu Xiu suddenly swept her up in his arms and, with a flicker of movement, stepped into a nearby alleyway.

"What's wrong?"

Bai Wanwan cooperatively kept quiet and stared at Zhu Xiu, questioning him.

"When I'm with you, I don't want that silly leopard to disturb us."

"Then what do you want to do?"

Bai Wanwan poked his chest with a finger as white and tender as jade, her eyes filled with a bit of playfulness.

She didn't know how provocative she looked when she wore that defiant, teasing expression.

Zhu Xiu's eyes narrowed, his gaze suddenly becoming dark and dangerous.

Bai Wanwan sensed an ominous feeling that she was about to take the game too far.

Sure enough, in the next second, Zhu Xiu directly gripped the back of her head and lowered his head to kiss her fiercely.

His kiss was forceful and irresistible, domineering and intense.

In no time at all, Bai Wanwan went soft and hung from him, only able to clutch his lapels while gasping for air.

Their breaths intertwined, almost merging into one.

In the distance, Yan Lie's voice came again: "Wan Wan? Xin Feng, have you seen Wan Wan?"

Xin Feng had also been keeping an eye on Wan Wan and The Cubs, so he had seen when Zhu Xiu returned.

Wan Wan's disappearance was definitely related to Zhu Xiu.

Therefore, he wasn't worried.

He simply said to Yan Lie at the door, "Look around some more; maybe she went to find Shi Hua."

Hearing Yan Lie looking for her, Bai Wanwan pushed against the figure in front of her, gaining a moment's breath.

"Yan Lie is looking for me, should we go back?"

Zhu Xiu did not pull away. His body remained pressed tightly against hers, letting her clearly feel his needs.

"Then let's see if he can find you."

His thumb brushed over her reddened lips. "Don't even think about taking you away from my hands right now."

With that, his arms tightened slightly as he lifted her off the ground. Turning around, he strode toward an even more distant and secluded spot...

Yan Lie searched for a long time but couldn't find Bai Wanwan. He was starting to get a bit anxious until he saw Xin Feng's calm-as-ever expression.

He finally caught on. "You know where Wan Wan is, don't you?"

Xin Feng lifted his eyelids to look at him, a faint smile on his face. "Wan Wan is safe, don't worry."

With Xin Feng saying that, what was there that Yan Lie didn't understand?

"She was taken away by Zhu Xiu?"

"Mm, she'll be back in a while, don't worry."

Once he was certain Wan Wan was safe, Yan Lie relaxed.

He sat on a Stone Stool by the door, watching over The Cubs while processing the prey to feed them.

"Don't snatch, there's enough for everyone."

Yan Lie fed The Cubs with a smile. Although he wasn't the Father Beast of these Cubs, they were born of Wan Wan, and to him, they seemed even cuter than other Cubs.

As he was feeding them, he heard movement ahead and looked up.

After seeing clearly, he jumped up and darted into the Stone House like a bolt of lightning.

Coming, coming~ Guess what Yan Lie saw?
