Chapter 367: Phoenix!

In the following days, Qiu Rong never showed his face again, as if he had evaporated from the world.

Yin Ze always remembered what Qiu Rong had said before leaving, and his gaze would unconsciously follow the little Cubs.

If Qiu Rong wasn't Wan Wan's Beast Husband, then why did these Cubs carry both his and Wan Wan's scents?

The fact that they had given birth to a litter of Cubs remained unchanged.

Because he couldn't figure out Qiu Rong's meaning and wasn't sure of the truth, he didn't tell Wan Wan what Qiu Rong had said that day.

During these past few days, Bai Wanwan poured all her attention into The Cubs.

She personally fed the little ones meat, bathed them, and The Cubs grew increasingly attached to her, trailing behind her like a string of little tails.

Every time she turned around, she was afraid of stepping on these furry little creatures.

'Babies, don't follow so closely, Mother might step on you,' she reminded them softly.

But The Cubs paid no heed, still trotting along happily behind her.

'Meow~ Mother, take us out to play~' The Cat Cub hugged her leg, coquettishly looking up at her with big, round, watery eyes.

Bai Wanwan's heart instantly melted. She picked up the Cat Cub and kissed it again and again. 'It's not safe outside right now. How about Mother stays home and plays with you?'

The Cat Cub's ears drooped. 'But... I want the other Cubs to see that I have a Mother too.'

Another Cat Cub also came over. 'Yeah, yeah! They always make fun of us for not having a Mother! But we do have one!'

As it spoke, it proudly puffed out its chest. Clearly, their Mother was better than anyone else's.

The most steady oldest Tiger Cub pressed a paw down on its younger brother, pinning it to the ground. 'We know we have a Mother, that's enough. Why tell them? Have you forgotten what Father Beast said?'

The Cubs immediately wilted. They all really wanted the other Cubs to know that they were Cubs who had a Mother too.

Hearing The Cubs' words, Bai Wanwan felt a pang of sorrow in her heart.

She didn't know what had happened before—whether it was a conflict with The Cubs' Father Beast or something else.

But she never imagined that The Cubs would be mocked by other Cubs because they lacked her company.

'When we see your Father Beast, Mother will ask him when we can go out. If we can, I'll definitely take you to find those Cubs. Mother wants to be friends with them too.'

'Mother, really?'

'Mhm, really. In the future, when Mother takes you out to play, we'll definitely be able to go out openly.'

Hearing her promise, The Cubs happily jumped up and down.

Over the past few days, she had thoroughly familiarized herself with the system and discovered many Cub snacks and toys within the system space.

She then pulled out a ball and threw it. The little Tiger Cub immediately shot after it like lightning.

The Cubs excitedly chased the ball, having a great time.

*Thud, thud, thud...*

Just as they were playing happily, a sudden knocking sound came from the door.

Yin Ze was about to get up and answer it when the Beastman watching The Cubs stopped him. 'You all take The Cubs inside first. I'll go check.'

The courtyard gate was usually closed, and only the Young Clan Leader would knock five times when he visited.

This knocking pattern was clearly wrong.

'Who is it?' the Beastman asked warily.

'Our Cub is missing. Open up and let us search.'

'There's no Cub you're looking for here. Go search elsewhere.'

The Beastman had just turned away when, with a loud *BANG*, the wooden gate was kicked flying.

He nimbly dodged aside and saw Feng Xi leisurely walking in with several Beast Husbands.

'Qiu Rong went to great lengths to send me away. Good thing I was prepared,' she said to the Beast Husband beside her. Then, her pretty eyes shifted to the Beastman in the courtyard. 'I don't want to trouble you. Hand over that Female.'

'Sacred Female Feng Xi, I don't know what you're talking about.'

'If I can find this place, it means I know Qiu Rong is hiding her here.'

Beads of sweat broke out on the Male Beastman's forehead. Sacred Female Feng Xi had so many Orange Tier Beast Husbands with her. Even if he gave his life here today, he wouldn't be able to stop them.

He could only continue playing dumb. 'Sacred Female Feng Xi, there really is no Female you're looking for here, only us Beastmen following the Young Clan Leader. Please go back. If the Young Clan Leader knew you came, he wouldn't be happy either.'

'Even if he's unhappy, I must get to the bottom of this. Do you want me to search myself?'

Feng Xi smiled and nodded. 'Alright then. Cong Yi, go search.'

The Beastman called Cong Yi had only taken two steps before he was blocked.

He gave a disdainful smile, his Innate Ability surged forth, and he almost instantly sent the other flying, crashing heavily into the wall.

A mouthful of blood sprayed out. The Beastman still tried to charge forward.

Feng Xi frowned. 'Cong Yi, take it easy. These are all Qiu Rong's men.'

Cong Yi said unhappily, 'Consort, are you saying I'm not handling this well? Then let them come.'

Feng Xi knew his temperament and had to coax him softly for a moment.

Footsteps slowly approached. Yin Ze knew they couldn't hide anymore, his expression grave.

'Wan Wan, if a conflict breaks out in a moment and I can't hold them off, I'll fly you out of here.'

Bai Wanwan nodded. 'Okay.'

As soon as the words left her mouth, the door was kicked open.

Yin Ze stood in front, blocking the way. Feng Xi tilted her head, trying to see the person behind him. 'Step aside. I have something to say to her.'

Yin Ze didn't budge. 'We don't know you. Want to get past? Have your Beast Husband defeat me first.'

Feng Xi actually didn't want to make a big scene, fearing Qiu Rong would be angry if he found out. 'I'm not here to cause trouble. Step aside. I want to discuss something with her.'

Bai Wanwan knew she couldn't hide anymore. Fortunately, the system reminded her there was a fully charged Laser Gun in the space. Even if it couldn't kill them, it could at least intimidate them.

She patted Yin Ze. 'Let me hear what she has to say.'

Yin Ze was still uneasy. 'What if she tries to hurt you?'

There were several Orange Tier Beastmen here. He alone might not be able to protect her.

Suddenly, Feng Xi let out a sharp cry. 'Whose Cubs are these?!'

She quickly stepped forward. Bai Wanwan hurriedly pulled The Cubs into her arms, shielding them.

Feng Xi was blocked by Yin Ze, but her eyes were fixed on The Cubs in Bai Wanwan's arms. 'These are... yours and Qiu Rong's Cubs?'

Her beautiful face was filled with disbelief, looking almost on the verge of collapse.

Bai Wanwan warily took a few steps back.

A Beastman's sense of smell couldn't be fooled. This matter simply couldn't be hidden.

Judging by Feng Xi's reaction, she probably liked Qiu Rong, and maybe the two even had something going on.

No wonder she had separated from Qiu Rong and hadn't even cared for The Cubs.

In just this short moment, a melodramatic soap opera had already played out in her mind.

'So what if they are?' Bai Wanwan frowned.

Bai Wanwan felt conflicted, thinking she shouldn't be so rash in her judgment. Qiu Rong didn't seem that scummy.

What on earth was going on?

She had never felt so frustrated by her amnesia as she did now.

If she really had a falling out with Qiu Rong because of this Feng Xi, then her earlier initiative to coax Qiu Rong and kiss him... she practically wanted to slap herself twice.

'Cong Yi! Snatch those Cubs for me!'

Before coming, Feng Xi had only thought about making her leave. But after seeing The Cubs, she had completely lost her composure.

Just as Cong Yi was about to act, the Phoenix clan's Innate Ability erupted from Yin Ze's body, instantly repelling two Beastmen.

'Phoenix? You're from the Phoenix clan too?'
