276: Chapter 276 Good heavens, what has she done?

Chapter 276: Oh My God, What Did She Do?

As the words fell, some fragmented pieces of memory gradually surfaced.

Scorching body heat, entangled limbs, ragged breaths... and the sensation of hands of varying temperatures caressing her skin.

But that face seemed to belong to someone else.

She quickly asked Yan Lie, "You... when did you get here?"

She knew she had fallen victim to something; that extreme longing was very abnormal.

The memories were there, but at the time she had been somewhat dazed and confused, unclear if it was a memory distortion or something that had truly happened.

"We arrived right after you got here."

Bai Wanwan breathed a slight sigh of relief. "I didn't do anything inappropriate to any other Male, did I?"

Yan Lie thought about it. At that time, although Wan Wan was being held by Jin Yi, her clothes were still on.

"Don't worry, I was with you the whole time."

Only after receiving this affirmative answer did Bai Wanwan truly relax.

It was then that she turned her head to look around, but didn't see her other Beast Husbands or Jin Yi.

"Where are they?"

"They are dealing with those Bear Clan Beastmen, but they should be finished by now. Don't worry."

If it weren't for needing to detoxify Wan Wan from the a poisonous flower's poison, he would have wanted to personally kill those Males who dared to secretly harm Wan Wan.

Bai Wanwan saw that the clothes beside her were already crumpled and ruined beyond recognition, so she simply took out a clean set from her system space to change into.

"Let me."

Yan Lie immediately took the clothes and carefully helped her put them on.

"Let's go out and see what the situation is like."

As she spoke, she tried to stand up, but her legs went weak and she almost slipped.

Yan Lie swiftly supported her waist. "Wan Wan, I'll carry you out."

Bai Wanwan was originally feeling a bit uncomfortable, but she noticed that the usually smiling Yan Lie's eyes lacked their usual cheer.

Sensing this, she simply stared at him.

Yan Lie soon noticed her gaze and forced a smile at the corner of his mouth. "Wan Wan, what are you staring at me for?"

Bai Wanwan didn't answer him immediately. Instead, she leaned in closer, even tilting her head to scrutinize him back and forth for a moment.

Yan Lie looked at her stunningly beautiful face so close to his. Remembering how she had kissed him during their intimacy, his breathing unconsciously quickened a little.

"Wan Wan, is the a poisonous flower's poison not fully cleared yet? Do you... still want to?"

Yan Lie's footsteps halted, his gaze still holding a trace of seriousness.

Bai Wanwan raised both hands to cup his face. "What are you thinking about?"

"Not uncomfortable? Then why were you staring at me like that?"

Although he liked Wan Wan and usually enjoyed looking at her.

Being stared at with such an earnest gaze by Wan Wan made him feel somewhat uneasy all over.

He was afraid that somewhere he hadn't performed well, or wasn't attractive enough, and his Female wouldn't like him.

Bai Wanwan applied a little more pressure, turning his face to make him look at her.

"You're acting very strange today."

Yan Lie hadn't even realized it himself. Hearing this, he froze for a moment. "Strange how?"

"You usually smile when you see me. You didn't smile when I woke up today."

Yan Lie's eyes darted away, and he forced another slight smile. "No, you must have seen wrong."

Bai Wanwan narrowed her eyes, holding his face and not allowing him to turn away.

"Wan Wan..." Yan Lie sounded a bit helpless.

Bai Wanwan quickly formed a guess and voiced it directly. "You're blaming yourself because I was captured by a Bear Clan Male at home?"

Bai Wanwan's words pierced right through his thoughts.

Before finding Wan Wan, he had been holding onto that feeling of self-blame and agitation, even having made up his mind.

If anything had happened to Wan Wan, he would have definitely followed her.

"Wan Wan, it's my fault. Twice now, something has happened to you while in my care. Am I useless?"

Bai Wanwan took a light breath and shook her head. "I was the one who told you to go watch the Cubs. Besides, none of us expected someone would come to our home to attack us."

This was truly beyond her expectations. Even Zhuo Ling's Beast Husbands wouldn't dare to easily attack them within the Golden Lion Tribe.

"No, I should have stayed by your side every step of the way."

Yan Lie lowered his eyes. Clearly, these two incidents had left a significant shadow on him.

"Even if you were by my side every step, if they truly wanted to act against me, they could have sent three Males with Yellow-Tier Talent Innate Ability to capture me. Could you have fought off three of them by yourself? Besides... you were watching over so many of our Cubs at the time."

Seeing he still hadn't let go, she leaned in and kissed him. "It just happened to fall on you. If it were Zhu Xiu or Xin Feng, if they were busy hunting or doing other things, they would have been distracted too. We're not the beast god; we all have moments of oversight."

Just as she finished speaking, there was movement from outside.

A moment later, Zhu Xiu's figure appeared at the cave entrance.

Bai Wanwan turned her head and smiled at him. "You're back? Were you hurt?"

Zhu Xiu walked over in a few strides, took Bai Wanwan from Yan Lie's arms, reined in the cold killing aura around him, and said softly to her, "Not hurt. How are you feeling now? Is there anywhere you still feel unwell?"

Bai Wanwan smiled and shook her head. "I'm fine, just a little tired."

Following him, Xin Feng and Jin Yi entered one after another.

Xin Feng, whose steps were usually steady, noticeably quickened his pace. He walked to Bai Wanwan's side and took the hand she extended.

"I made you all worry. I didn't suffer much."

Jin Yi stood silently to the side, watching Bai Wanwan smilingly reassure her Beast Husbands.

After torturing himself by watching for a while, he turned his gaze outside.

But at that moment, the Female's voice came.

"Jin Yi, thank you too."

He could only withdraw his gaze and look back at the Female.

"Thank me? It was me who implicated you." His voice carried a hint of bitterness.

"You didn't implicate me. Zhuo Ling deliberately lied, misled them, and had them come capture me."

Another new score to settle. This time upon returning, there must be a final reckoning between her and Zhuo Ling.

Jin Yi's lips moved slightly, but in the end, he said nothing.

What could he say? That it wasn't a misdirection, not a lie, that he had truly fallen for her?

Fortunately, Xin Feng spoke up at that moment, defusing the tension.

"We don't know if any Bear Clan Beastmen survived to go back and report. We need to leave this place quickly."

"Mm, let's go."

Zhu Xiu, holding Bai Wanwan, turned and led the way towards the cave entrance.

As they passed by Jin Yi, Bai Wanwan's gaze fell upon him.

Some fragments in her mind felt extremely real. She wasn't sure if she had actually acted shamelessly towards Jin Yi.

If she had really mistaken Jin Yi for one of her Beast Husbands and had her way with him, that would be too embarrassing.

Yan Lie said nothing happened, so it must have been her mind playing tricks during her delirium.

Just as she was about to withdraw her gaze, her eyes lingered on his neck.

Wait... what is this?

His neck was densely covered with marks.

And some images surfaced more clearly in her mind.

She had wrapped her arms around Jin Yi's neck, pulled him down, kissed his beautifully shaped lips, then trailed kisses down to his Adam's apple...

Her hands had traced over his enticing collarbones, his defined v-line, his shark lines...

And finally, she had even touched...

Oh my god!

Were those memories real?
