336: Chapter 336 So angry that it shortens one's lifespan by ten years

"Impossible!" Jin Yi flatly refused.

Jin Yun's face fell. Without even glancing at him, she turned her gaze to Bai Wanwan. "Little Female, your name is Bai Wanwan, right? Since you can accept Jin Yi as your Beast Husband, my little Male Cub here is both likable and handsome. Let the brothers take care of you together in the future."

Beside them, a vein throbbed on Jin Yi's forehead. It seemed to take immense self-control not to lash out at his Mother.

But the Male opposite seemed oblivious. He walked directly towards Bai Wanwan. "Consort, I will take good care of you in the future and strive to make you happy every day."

"Not a chance of being happy!"

Bai Wanwan took a step back. Although the Male before her wasn't ugly, he was far inferior compared to Jin Yi and her other Beast Husbands.

Neither Jin Yun nor her cherished Male seemed to grasp her meaning.

But Bai Wanwan didn't keep them waiting. Looking at her Beast Husband's face beside her, she said with a bright smile, "Only a face as stunningly beautiful as my Beast Husband's can make me happy. Someone with your looks, I can't even be bothered to glance at."

The Male was visibly provoked. "What's so great about him? Even my Mother doesn't like him. If you Pairing Ceremony with me, I promise I'll do better than him. You'll like me."

Bai Wanwan gave him a disdainful once-over from head to toe. "Your Innate Ability is pretty low, isn't it? I don't know where you get the confidence to be my Beast Husband. Tell your Mother to give birth to you again. Your Innate Ability would need to be at least on par with my Beast Husband's before I'd reluctantly consider taking you as a Beast Husband."

"You!" The Male's eyes widened in fury.

Bai Wanwan tightened her grip on the Male's hand beside her and addressed Jin Yun, who was also seething. "Jin Yi is the Beast Husband I hold dearest in my heart. I can't bear to see him wronged. If you have nothing important in the future, don't summon us. Even if you do, I won't come."

"How dare you! Bai Wanwan, I am Jin Yi's Mother, your elder!"

"Elders should act like elders. The moment I arrive, you try to force some ugly, worthless fellow on me as a Beast Husband. Why don't you take a piss and look at yourselves in it! Is he even worthy! Your precious treasure is less than nothing in my eyes."

Bai Wanwan spoke without any courtesy. She admitted she was doing it on purpose.

From the Mother's attitude, it was clear she doted on her little Male Cub but held little maternal affection for Jin Yi.

Although Bai Wanwan understood that with too many Cubs, it was hard to treat them all equally.

But who told Jin Yi was *her* Beast Husband?

Others were beyond her concern, but if someone bullied her Beast Husband, she was determined to handle it!

Jin Yi's personality had largely developed this way due to this Female's emotional neglect.

"Wan Wan, there's no need to say more to them. Let's go."

But Bai Wanwan held him back. "No hurry. I still want to vent your anger for you! Just wait and see."

Jin Yi had been worried she might suffer, but seeing her stand protectively in front of him, tightly holding his hand as if fearing he'd be bullied...

It felt as if cracks had formed in his heart, warmth seeping through each one, making him unconsciously tighten his grip.

At this moment, he felt an unwavering certainty that he wanted to walk this path with her forever.

"Bai Wanwan! Don't forget where this is? My Beast Husband is the chief of the Golden Lion Tribe. With one word from me, I can have you thrown out."

"No need to throw me out. I was leaving anyway."

Bai Wanwan gave a carefree laugh and simply pulled Jin Yi to sit down in front of her. "Didn't you want to see me? Why so impatient, wanting to chase me away now? Being so fickle like this ages you quickly..."

Here, she seemed to suddenly think of something, her gaze settling on the other's face, scrutinizing it seriously.

Her beautiful brows furrowed. "You really *have* aged! Father Beast remains tall, handsome, and upright, but how did you become so old? If Jin Yi hadn't said so earlier, I would have thought you were the chief's Mother!"

"What did you say?" Jin Yun choked, nearly breathless.

Bai Wanwan's face remained cheerfully smiling. Indeed, anywhere, appearance and age were sensitive points for a devastating hit.

"Mother really is getting on in years, even your hearing is failing. Let me repeat it for you then! Mother, the gullies and wrinkles on your face... have you seen tree bark? Hmm... your face now looks pretty much like tree bark..."

Jin Yun rolled her eyes, almost toppling off the Stone Stool. Luckily, her beloved Male Cub caught her, preventing the fall.

Bai Wanwan watched coldly. Jin Yi also remained silent.

The Mother had over twenty Male Cubs in total, but she was least close to him.

Because he had been aloof and unlikable since childhood.

Coupled with later seeing the Mother dote on other Beast Husbands while neglecting his Father Beast...

As a little one, he had tried to get close to the Mother, to win favor for his Father Beast.

But the Mother had disgustedly thrown him out the door. He stood on the Snowy Ground, listening to the laughter coming from inside.

It was from that moment he stopped yearning for the Mother's love.

"Bai Wanwan, if you insult my Mother again, don't blame me for hitting you."

Jin Yi's sharp gaze swept over. "Try moving a muscle."

The other immediately fell silent, only barely suppressing his rage.

Bai Wanwan had nothing to do back home anyway. It was rare to have something to pass the time.

Today, she would let them see what it meant that it was easier to invite a deity than to send one away.

So she continued smiling brightly. "Since Mother missed us, of course we should stay and keep you company a while longer. After all, once we leave, if you miss us later, you won't be able to see us."

"Who misses you?"

Jin Yun now wished she could kick her far away.

Previously, she had only heard from Jin Cang that Jin Yi had found a Female he liked, one who was beautiful and had exceptional fertility.

She had quickly given Jin Yi a whole litter of Cubs, even including a Female.

Jin Cang smiled from ear to ear every day.

But she secretly thought that the entire Tribe couldn't find a second Female with such high fertility.

A pity she was Jin Yi's Female. How wonderful it would be if she could also bear Cubs for her own cherished Male Cub.

Later, her cherished Male Cub saw Bai Wan and became infatuated with her appearance, pestering her about it daily.

Jin Yun's heart was swayed. Who knew this Female would be so fierce?

If she had known earlier, she would never have summoned them.

"Mother, don't be shy about admitting it. I know you miss us. Don't worry, I'll definitely keep you good company today."

"Get out! Just looking at you makes my chest hurt."

"Really?"

Bai Wanwan put on a concerned expression and immediately stepped forward as if to massage her chest.

"What are you doing?" Jin Yun looked wary.

"Of course, I'm going to massage it for you, Mother. Since you're unwell, we must stay and take care of you. I know you're just speaking in anger. Go ahead and vent. We'll pretend not to hear. Once you've let it all out, you'll feel better."

No matter what Jin Yun said afterward, Bai Wanwan always deftly deflected it, leaving the Mother and son so angry it could take ten years off their lives, while she remained seated, smiling and unperturbed.
