333: Chapter 333 Where are you? Where am I?
Jin Cang paused for a moment, his eyes completely filled with joy.
"Good, good, that's wonderful! Wan Wan, you are a great hero of our Golden Lion Tribe!"
Bai Wanwan had just finished giving birth and hadn't had time to take a recovery Pill yet, so she looked very weak.
Jin Yi felt distressed seeing this. "Father Beast, let's go outside to talk."
Jin Cang nodded repeatedly, clutching the Cubs in his arms and refusing to let go.
"Wan Wan, I'll go out for a bit and come back to be with you right away."
"Mm, no rush."
Nearby, Xin Feng and Yan Lie had been waiting for a long time, but they hadn't come forward to interrupt because this was a life moment that belonged uniquely to Jin Yi.
But now that he was leaving, the spot next to Wan Wan was empty, and things were different.
Xin Feng stepped forward steadily, sat down by the bedside, and took one of her hands in his. "Are you still feeling uncomfortable?"
Bai Wanwan smiled and shook her head. "No more discomfort."
Yan Lie knelt by the bed, tucking her stray hair behind her ear and planting a kiss on her cheek, his eyes full of heartache.
Bai Wanwan smiled at her two Beast Husbands. "I told you, I'm different from other Females. Giving birth isn't that big of a deal for me. I'll recover after a little rest."
Indeed, after taking a Pill, it would be as if she had never given birth.
The medicine was effective and worked fast.
Jin Yi didn't stay outside for long; his heart was worried about her, and he soon returned to the room.
Bai Wanwan thought to herself that since her other Beast Husbands knew her identity, she naturally couldn't keep it from Jin Yi either.
Besides, being able to give birth to Orange Tier Cubs was suspicious in itself. Even if Jin Yi didn't ask, he would certainly have doubts in his heart.
Therefore, it was better to just tell him directly.
"Jin Yi, there's something I want to tell you. The reason I could give birth to Orange Tier Cubs is because I..."
Before she could finish, Jin Yi spoke up. "Wan Wan, I know."
Bai Wanwan assumed Xin Feng and Yan Lie had told him. She nodded and was about to say something else.
Unexpectedly, Jin Yi continued, "Actually, before this, Father Beast already knew your identity, and I also discovered that Cat Beastman who came from the same Tribe as you. From him, I learned your identity."
When he said this, Xin Feng's brow furrowed, and he turned to look at him. "Cat Beastman?"
Yan Lie also stood up from the floor, his expression becoming serious. "So, you knew all along that Wan Wan is the Sacred Female, and you intentionally approached her?"
Xin Feng didn't say it out loud, but his scrutinizing gaze fell upon Jin Yi.
When Jin Yi decided to reveal this, he had prepared himself to face their questioning.
But even so, he didn't intend to keep it from Wan Wan.
"I never intentionally approached Wan Wan. I like her and want to be with her. It has nothing to do with whether she is the Sacred Female or not."
After taking a recovery Pill, Bai Wanwan propped herself up with her arms.
"Wan Wan, you just finished giving birth and need more rest. Don't sit up."
Xin Feng supported her arm, trying to get her to lie back down.
However, Bai Wanwan covered his hand. "Xin Feng, I'm fine. You and Yan Lie go wait outside for me first. I want to talk to him alone for a bit."
Xin Feng was silent for two seconds before nodding. "Call me if you need anything."
Bai Wanwan agreed with a smile. "Okay."
Xin Feng turned and left, while Yan Lie looked back every few steps, his gaze toward Jin Yi no longer friendly.
Soon, only she and Jin Yi were left in the room.
Jin Yi pursed his lips and took the initiative to speak. "Wan Wan..."
He thought the Female would be angry, but Wan Wan patted the spot next to her. "Come closer. I can't hear you clearly from so far away."
Jin Yi immediately stepped forward and sat on the edge of the bed. "Wan Wan, I didn't mean to deceive you."
"Mm, I know. Actually, you didn't have to say anything just now; you could have waited for me to say it. But you chose to speak up anyway, so I know you didn't want to lie to me."
Jin Yi had originally prepared himself to be doubted by his Female, but Wan Wan chose to believe him without even needing much explanation.
"Wan Wan, even though you believe me, I still want to tell you some of my thoughts."
He opened his arms and pulled her into his embrace, giving her body some support.
Bai Wanwan didn't refuse, lying quietly in his arms. "Okay, you talk, I'm listening."
"Father Beast... he probably knew your identity very early on, so he was determined to push us into a Pairing Ceremony. But at that time, I... I didn't want to share you with many Males, so I was always very resistant."
"Mm, I could see that."
Bai Wanwan tilted her head back with a smile, looking at his handsome face. "And then?"
Jin Yi's fingers toyed with her soft hair, and his gaze became very tender. "Later, I unconsciously became curious about you and started paying attention to you, but I didn't realize my heart was slowly changing."
"After the beast tide ended, I faced life and death with you. Seeing you in the arms of your other Beast Husbands, I would feel envious, even jealous..."
"Oh?" Bai Wanwan narrowed her eyes, not quite believing him. "You were so cold back then, I didn't see it at all."
Jin Yi chuckled. "I was afraid of letting you see it then, so I tried my best to act distant."
"Afraid of me seeing it?"
"Mm. Actually, I was struggling with myself then, not wanting to admit that I had fallen for you."
"While I enjoy hearing about your emotional journey, you seemed to be talking about knowing I'm the Sacred Female just now."
Jin Yi nodded, his arms tightening around her. "I wanted to tell you that I already liked you before I knew you were the Sacred Female; I just didn't want to face it myself at that time."
"Then when did you find out I'm the Sacred Female?"
Bai Wanwan had completely relaxed, leaning lazily in his arms and chatting with him casually.
"It was after the beast tide ended, when we returned to the Tribe and I discovered that Cat Beastman. I learned that Father Beast had kept him and that he came from the same Tribe as you, so I went to interrogate him personally. From his mouth, I learned of your identity as the Sacred Female."
"So, you stopped suppressing your feelings?"
She teased him on purpose, which made him anxious. He grabbed her hand that was tracing his jawline. "No, at that time I was only thinking about how to hide this matter... It was only when the Bear Clan attacked and my life was hanging by a thread that I suddenly realized—no matter who you are, no matter if there are other Males by your side, I want to be with you..."
As the words fell, her soft lips blocked his.
"I believe you..."
She kissed him lightly, responding to his words.
But in the next second, the Male cupped the back of her head, and a burning kiss swept over her.
"Wan Wan, I have never been as happy as I am now."
He took her hand and pressed it to his chest. "Listen... it's telling you that it's very happy."
Not only did he have his beloved Female, but his beloved Female had also conceived their Cubs so quickly and successfully given birth to them.
"From now on... wherever you are, I am."
