243: Chapter 243 Xin Feng's Little Thoughts

Bai Wanwan turned her head toward the sound and saw Xin Feng standing outside with his side to her, his finger dripping with blood.

She immediately tied her belt, which she had been about to undo, and said to Yan Lie, who was lying on the Stone Bed, "Lie down and rest for a bit. I'm going out to check on Xin Feng."

Before Yan Lie could even speak, Bai Wanwan had already walked outside.

The longing in his eyes turned entirely into disappointment.

At that moment, he saw Bai Wanwan walk over to Xin Feng in a few quick steps and hold his injured finger.

Yan Lie glanced at the knife by Xin Feng's feet, feeling somewhat incredulous.

For a powerful Male to cut his own finger was already a huge "mistake," let alone being unable to hold the knife and dropping it on the ground...

Yan Lie instantly saw through Xin Feng's little trick and lay back down in frustration.

But in Bai Wanwan's mind, Xin Feng had always been someone who didn't fight for attention, so it never occurred to her that he would use such a method to get her to notice him.

She examined Xin Feng's wound; it was long and deep, with blood still continuously oozing out.

Frowning, she quickly took out Healing Ointment and gauze from the system space to treat it for him.

She even nagged, "How could you be so careless? If you were just a bit further off, you would have almost chopped off your whole finger."

Hearing Bai Wanwan's nagging, the bit of bitterness that had welled up in Xin Feng's heart finally dissipated.

As if he couldn't feel the pain in his hand at all, a soft smile remained on the corners of his mouth.

"It's just a minor injury, don't worry."

"Even if it's a minor injury, doesn't it hurt and bleed?"

After finishing with the wound, Bai Wanwan looked up at him.

Those eyes that he loved so much were filled with concern for him.

He admitted that he had just impulsively done something very childish.

He had heard the conversation between Wan Wan and Yan Lie inside and, out of jealousy, had actually used self-harm as a way to get Wan Wan's attention.

He originally thought he could handle it; though he would feel a bit of discomfort whenever he saw Wan Wan getting close to other Beast Husbands, he would always tell himself...

Wan Wan was a Sacred Female, and to ensure her safety, there had to be enough powerful Males to protect her.

He understood the reasoning, and he had always acted accordingly.

But at that moment just now, he really couldn't hold back.

"Wan Wan..."

Bai Wanwan gave a soft "mm," her eyes completely filled with his reflection.

He really liked this feeling of occupying her entire field of vision.

Bai Wanwan waited, but no further words came.

"Why did you stop talking?"

She simply took his hand and sat down on a Stone Stool.

She held his hand and blew on it gently. "Don't do any work for the next couple of days while you're injured. Just look after the Cubs. I'm free, so I can cook to pass the time."

She actually liked cooking, but Xin Feng was always afraid she would get tired and insisted she rest while he did the work.

"I'm fine," Xin Feng stared at her, finally speaking up. "I lied to you just now."

"Hmm?"

Bai Wanwan looked at him sideways suspiciously. "You lied to me? About what?"

There wasn't the slightest hint of anger on Bai Wanwan's face.

How could she not know that Xin Feng's heart and eyes were full of her? Even if he lied to her, it certainly wouldn't be something meant to harm her.

"Just now, I cut myself on purpose and dropped the knife on the ground to make a sound and lure you out."

He just bluntly laid bare his thoughts.

Bai Wanwan was stunned for a moment, then looked at him with a mix of amusement and exasperation. "In that case... why are you telling me?"

She hadn't suspected him in the slightest. If he hadn't said anything, she might never have known he did it on purpose.

"I don't want to lie to you, yet I just did."

Bai Wanwan's mind whirred, and she quickly understood why Xin Feng had done that.

She guessed that he had heard everything she and Yan Lie said inside.

If it were her, she wouldn't be able to handle it either.

As long as one is human, they have emotions and desires. Xin Feng was already magnanimous enough; she couldn't ask more of him.

Avoiding his injured finger, she held his hand tightly. "Xin Feng, you have the right to be unhappy. Next time, if I neglect you and make you upset, you can just tell me directly."

Bai Wanwan also reflected a bit. Since Xin Feng didn't fight for her attention, she indeed sometimes failed to pay special attention to his feelings.

It wasn't that she didn't like Xin Feng; on the contrary, Xin Feng was her first Beast Husband, and the two of them had gone through hardships together.

Xin Feng would always hold an unshakable place in her heart.

It was just that... he was so magnanimous that she sometimes overlooked his emotions.

Looking into the Female's sincere eyes, the discomfort in Xin Feng's heart had long since faded away.

"Alright, I'll tell you everything from now on."

Bai Wanwan's lips curled into a smile as she leaned forward and threw herself into his arms, her hands tightly hugging his firm waist.

Every Beast Husband's muscles were rock-hard, tall and robust.

Even the gentle Xin Feng was no exception.

Nestling in his arms gave her a great sense of security.

Xin Feng wrapped his other arm around her, pulling her into his embrace.

Watching this scene from inside the room, Yan Lie felt as if he had eaten a Sour Fruit; the sourness spread from his mouth all the way to his heart.

He kept staring at Wan Wan, wanting her to turn and look at him, but she just kept staring at Xin Feng with her eyes curved in a smile.

Although he saw through the fact that Xin Feng wasn't as magnanimous as he appeared on the surface, he remembered that Xin Feng had been a huge help in allowing him to become one of Wan Wan's Beast Husbands and stay by her side forever.

He could only endure it for now; anyway, he had already secured his position as one of Wan Wan's Beast Husbands.

Sooner or later, he would mate with Wan Wan and they would raise Cubs of their own.

As he thought about it, the slight unhappiness that had just welled up in Yan Lie's heart also vanished.

He even began to fantasize about what the Cubs he and Wan Wan had together would look like.

Maybe there would be two majestic Leopard Cubs just like him, but they certainly wouldn't be as cute as Cat Cubs.

If Wan Wan could give him two Cat Cubs as cute as her, he would surely cherish them so much that he'd be afraid they'd melt if he held them in his mouth...

Bai Wanwan and Xin Feng sat by the door and talked for quite a while, their feelings for each other clearly deepening.

When they looked at each other, it was as if there was no room for anyone else.

Just then, footsteps suddenly came from outside, interrupting the conversation between Bai Wanwan and Xin Feng.

Both of them turned their heads together and saw a familiar face appearing at the door.

Bai Wanwan recognized him; it was Jin Yue, the most capable warrior by the side of the Jin Cang Clan leader.

Xin Feng took Bai Wanwan's hand and stood up from the Stone Stool, asking Jin Yue, "Are you here for Wan Wan?"

Jin Yue shook his head. "Female Bai Wanwan, I didn't come because the Jin Cang Clan leader is looking for you. It's beastmen from another Tribe who have come looking for your Beast Husband."

"Who?" Bai Wanwan asked, her face full of suspicion.

"It's your Beast Husband, Yan Lie."

Xin Feng's eyes flickered as he thought back to Yan Lie's unusual behavior when he entered the room earlier.

Was someone really looking for him?

"Then please wait a moment. Yan Lie isn't feeling well and is sleeping in the room. I'll go ask him."

Jin Yue stood still outside. "Alright, we'll wait here at the door."

After Bai Wanwan gave an affirmative response, she turned and walked into the room.

Walking to the side of the Stone Bed, she saw Yan Lie with his eyes tightly shut as if he were asleep.

She sat down directly beside the Stone Bed and reached out to poke him in the small of his back.

Yan Lie couldn't keep up the act at all and sprang up into a sitting position. "Wan Wan..."

Bai Wanwan withdrew her hand after the poke and looked at him. "Done pretending? Do you know who's looking for you?"
