332: Chapter 332 Getting Rich Quick

"I want to go somewhere not so cold,"

Bai Wanwan tugged at the beast skin on her body. "This Snow Season is too long. Being trapped in the house all day, even my bones are starting to feel moldy from boredom."

Although she had Mahjong and poker to pass the time, repeating the same games day after day made even the most interesting entertainment become dull.

The cold wind howling outside rattled the wooden windows, adding a touch of loneliness.

"Alright, we'll set off once the snow stops. How about going to the seaside?"

"Great! I love the sea."

When Zhu Xiu's hibernation ended, they would discuss together where exactly to go.

In the evening, Jin Yi returned from outside. Seeing her standing by the window looking out, he wrapped his arms around her from behind.

Tilting his head like hers to look out, he asked, "What are you looking at?"

"I'm seeing how long this snow will last."

Jin Yi let out a soft chuckle, his broad palm gently covering her bulging abdomen, his fingertips lightly tracing the rounded curve.

As he spoke, his warm breath brushed against her ear, dispelling some of the chill.

"Has the food shortage problem been resolved?" she asked softly, looking at his tired face.

Although the potatoes distributed had temporarily relieved the hunger of the beastmen in the Golden Lion Tribe, it was ultimately just a temporary measure.

"It's much better. The Males go out to hunt every day. Although the harvest is small, having something is better than nothing."

As the Young Clan Leader, Jin Yi's schedule was always packed.

But no matter how busy he was, he would always rush back at noon just to catch a glimpse of her, or plant a chilly kiss on her forehead upon returning late at night.

It was rare to have such leisure time to watch the snow with her.

"The wind and snow are heavy, don't catch a cold. Let's go into the inner room."

There were too many Cubs in the house. Xin Feng was busy every day, and even Yan Lie was pestered by The Cubs.

Jin Yi helped her into the room, his hand accidentally sliding onto her bulging belly.

It felt like something had kicked his palm.

"Wan Wan?"

He stopped his movements and stared at her belly in a daze.

Bai Wanwan smiled and took his hand, gently pressing it against her belly.

"Did you feel it?" she asked with a smile, feeling the forceful kicking beneath her palm.

Jin Yi felt it carefully, his face filled with the nervousness and anxiety of becoming a Father Beast for the first time.

"Wan Wan, I didn't expect it to be so soon..."

His voice was somewhat husky. "Before the Rainy Season, I couldn't even imagine being able to have a Pairing Ceremony with you. In just a few dozen days, you've not only become my Consort but are also pregnant with our Cubs..."

It all came so fast, like a beautiful dream. Other beastmen might not become a Father Beast even a year after their Pairing Ceremony, yet he was so lucky.

Bai Wanwan tilted her head against his solid chest, listening to his rapid heartbeat: "The Cubs will be born in a few days. I think only when you hold them in your own arms will you dare to believe it's real."

Looking at her increasingly rosy lips, Jin Yi couldn't help but lean down and give her a light peck: "This is my first time being a Father Beast, I don't know anything... What should I prepare?"

Seeing his flustered and helpless appearance, Bai Wanwan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Relax, just find some time in the next two days to ask Xin Feng and the others."

Xin Feng and Zhu Xiu were already well-versed, whereas Yan Lie was still often in a scramble.

Recalling how they cautiously held The Cubs when they first became fathers, a warm current surged in Bai Wanwan's heart.

As the due date approached, the three Beast Husbands took turns hovering around her.

Jin Yi even set aside most of the matters at hand.

Now he only went out for half a day, rushing back before dark to stay by her side.

Those golden eyes were always filled with worry, and he would ask countless times a day: "Wan Wan, today how are you feeling? Is there any discomfort?"

Having given birth many times, Bai Wanwan wasn't actually nervous; instead, Jin Yi's state of being on high alert made her both amused and touched.

"I feel great," she reached out to smooth his furrowed brow. "It's you who's wound tighter than a fully drawn bowstring. Relax a bit; The Cubs and I are both fine."

Xin Feng also walked over and patted Jin Yi's tense shoulder: "Wan Wan's births have always been smooth, there's no need to worry too much."

However, when Bai Wanwan suddenly cried out "Ouch!", all three Beast Husbands forgot their previous self-reassurance, each becoming more nervous than the last.

Jin Yi still panicked. Seeing her body arched, his face immediately turned pale. "I—I'll go get the Clan Witch!"

"Stop!"

Xin Feng took a deep breath and calmed down.

He blocked the door in one stride. "Wan Wan's situation is special; we cannot let the Clan Witch know."

Jin Yi's eyes turned red with anxiety, his voice changing pitch. "The clan elders all say that giving birth is extremely dangerous. How can we manage without the Clan Witch presiding?"

Xin Feng understood his restlessness and worry.

But Wan Wan's safety could not be compromised either.

"Trust me, I have accompanied Wan Wan through many births. She is different from ordinary Females."

Just as the two were in a deadlock, Bai Wanwan's weak call came from inside the room: "Jin Yi... come in and stay with me..."

Hearing her call, Jin Yi rushed into the inner room without hesitation.

Seeing her outstretched hand, he stepped forward in a few quick strides and gripped it tightly, his palms drenched in cold sweat: "Does it hurt?"

Bai Wanwan's complexion was rosy, while his face was pale and his features contorted; it looked as if he was the one in pain.

Bai Wanwan quickly shook her head at him: "With you here... it doesn't hurt as much..."

Jin Yi leaned over to kiss her forehead, but Bai Wanwan suddenly felt a churning in her belly.

She instinctively gripped Jin Yi's hand tightly.

Jin Yi kept his body tense, his eyes filled with uncontrollable worry.

But there was nothing he could do except hold her hand tightly, silently giving her strength.

Bai Wanwan soon felt something leave her body.

Then, the sound of several little lions whimpering "wu wu" came from the quiet room.

"Congratulations to the Host for giving birth to one Orange Tier Male Cub, one Female Cub with superior fertility, and two Yellow Tier Cubs. A total of 120,000 points is awarded."

Bai Wanwan was almost dizzy from this overwhelming windfall of wealth.

Thinking back on how she had given birth to so many litters in the previous year and the points were just barely enough, only recently having a surplus, and now she was suddenly hit with 120,000 points.

Bai Wanwan was very happy, but Jin Yi was even happier.

After seeing her safely give birth to four Cubs, the breath held in his chest finally released, and his face was no longer as pale as before.

"Wan Wan, look, our Cubs."

His face was already handsome, and now, struck by immense joy, his eyes and brows were filled with an intoxicating smile, making him look even better.

Bai Wanwan's gaze slid from his face to the several Cubs he held in his hands.

The Cubs weren't even half the size of their Father Beast's palm. Their little golden fur hadn't fully grown in, and their eyes were half-open, looking very sleepy.

They were incredibly cute; Bai Wanwan couldn't help but kiss their heads one by one.

The little Cubs seemed to smell their Mother's scent. Their cute little noses twitched, and they made low whimpering sounds, turning their heads to find her...

After soothing The Cubs, she quietly opened the system panel.

Seeing the balance show 13560, the corners of her mouth curled up unconsciously.

She finally didn't have to worry about points anymore!

When Clan Leader Jin Cang arrived in a hurry through the wind and snow, snowflakes were still sparkling on his golden mane.

As soon as the Clan Leader entered, he couldn't wait to rub his hands together: "Wan Wan, quick, let me see The Cubs!"

With the joy of a first-time Father Beast on his face, Jin Yi carefully held The Cubs up to his father.

Clan Leader Jin Cang tremblingly took the tiny Cubs, but he suddenly froze while checking The Cubs' Talent, his voice changing pitch: "This, this is..."

"Father Beast," Jin Yi's voice was full of pride, "this is an Orange Tier Cub."

"Orange Tier!"

Jin Cang stumbled, nearly knocked over by this shocking news, but luckily he was caught in time.

He looked at the weak golden Cub in his palm, his usually wise eyes brimming with tears: "The future of the Golden Lion Clan... there is hope..."
