381: Chapter 381 Declaring Sovereignty

Bai Wanwan was being forcefully suppressed by him. He was covered in injuries, so she had nowhere to push back, only able to fumble around to find a spot on his flesh that wasn't as bruised to pinch him.

As it turned out, this action directly ignited Qiu Rong, a numbing sensation surging from his lumbar spine all the way to his scalp.

Memories of that night at the Cat Clan Tribe over a year ago came flooding back.

He wished he could tear the Female before him apart and devour her.

Since she had treated him like that back then, it was time for her to pay him back now.

After being pinned to the bed by him, Bai Wanwan sensed the dangerous light in the man's eyes and quickly reached out to brace against his shoulders.

"Qiu Rong, wait. You were heavily injured and on the brink of death last night. You can't do any strenuous exercise right now."

Qiu Rong looked down at her from above. "Fine, then you do it."

Saying that, he lay back down on the Stone Bed.

Yet, his hands remained firmly gripped around her waist.

Bai Wanwan also thought back to that dizzying night. At first, Qiu Rong really hadn't reacted, and she had been the one taking the lead.

But afterward, he completely took control of the rhythm, and she was the one being pressed into the ground and dominated.

Bai Wanwan's body was half-propped up, and her gaze happened to fall upon a magnificent sight.

A flush of crimson dyed her cheeks, and she quickly averted her gaze, pulling the nearby quilt over to cover him up completely.

"You stay here and recover properly. We'll talk about everything else once you're better."

After saying that, she feigned anger as she pulled his hands away, quickly jumped off the bed, and made a run for it.

Qiu Rong didn't stop her, because he was only teasing her and hadn't intended for anything to happen today.

Even if something were to happen, he wanted to settle things clearly with her and become her true Beast Husband first.

Propping his head up with one hand, his gaze followed Bai Wanwan's figure to the doorway. He watched the Female bolt out, nearly tripping because she was running too fast.

He laughed in exasperation. He wanted to see how long she could keep up this act!

Bai Wanwan stumbled out of the Stone House, where Yan Lie was already waiting nearby.

Seeing her come out, he immediately walked over to support her.

"Wan Wan, why are you in such a panic? Did Qiu Rong bully you? I'll go settle the score with him right now."

Bai Wanwan immediately grabbed his hand. "No, no."

How could she say Qiu Rong was bullying her?

This was all her retribution.

At that time, she had no other choice but to do what she did to survive.

But in reality, she indeed hadn't considered the other person's wishes.

Every cause has its effect. So, regarding Qiu Rong, it would be fine if he didn't ask her to take responsibility, but if... he brought it up, she had no reason to refuse.

"Then why do you look so pale?"

Bai Wanwan tugged his hand and quickly moved away from the room's entrance to prevent Qiu Rong inside from overhearing.

Seeing her approach, several Beast Husbands in the courtyard stood up to let her sit.

Zhu Xiu pulled her directly between himself and Xin Feng.

"Wan Wan, do you plan on having a Pairing Ceremony with Qiu Rong?" Xin Feng voiced the doubt in his heart.

Bai Wanwan glanced toward Qiu Rong's room. "About that... it depends on Qiu Rong. If he's unwilling, I can't force him."

If he was willing... she had to take responsibility; she couldn't refuse.

Jin Yi looked at her. "If you like him, with us here, we can just make him stay by your side as your Beast Husband. He won't be able to refuse."

Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng couldn't help but glance at him.

They couldn't be as magnanimous as Jin Yi.

But Jin Yi knew that the Male already had Cubs with Wan Wan, so they would end up together sooner or later.

Besides, as long as Wan Wan was happy, other Beast Husbands would always appear by her side.

It was better for it to be an old Male than a newcomer.

"Let's not mention it for now. We'll wait until Qiu Rong recovers from his injuries." Xin Feng steered the conversation away.

Bai Wanwan's gaze swept over her Beast Husbands. "By the way, what have you all been sitting here for?"

As she spoke, Zhu Xiu took her hand, his fingers stroking hers one by one. "Wan Wan, we're thinking of settling down here permanently. What do you think?"

This was the result of their discussions over the past two days.

First, this was a Super Tribe. Although Wan Wan was a Sacred Female, there were other Sacred Females here too.

Second, the Tiger Clan Chief, Zhu Li, had just been killed by Qiu Rong, and Qiu Rong was very likely to become the next chief.

They believed that Qiu Rong, who had quickly planned and swiftly took down the Tiger Clan Chief, was no simple character.

It was almost certain that he would become the Tiger Clan Chief.

And his Cubs were born of Wan Wan. Regardless of whether he became Wan Wan's Beast Husband in the future...

He and Wan Wan would always be tied together. As long as that bond existed, he would protect Wan Wan.

So, compared to wandering around or settling in another Super Tribe...

The Tiger Clan was the best choice.

Bai Wanwan hadn't thought that far ahead, but once Zhu Xiu mentioned it, she suddenly felt that this place was quite good too.

After the Eagle Beasts' raid and the Bear Clan's attack, she still felt that a Super Tribe like the Tiger Clan gave her more of a sense of security.

Only here could her Cubs grow up safely and healthily.

"Okay! Then we'll bring The Cubs over and settle down in the Tiger Clan."

At the mention of The Cubs, Bai Wanwan couldn't help but miss them.

Although she knew Chief Jin Cang was looking after them and there wouldn't be any major issues...

Not seeing them for a day still made her feel uneasy.

"Then when will you go back to pick up The Cubs?"

She hoped it would be as soon as possible. Only by having them by her side and seeing them every day could she feel at ease.

"No rush. We'll arrange to go back for them once things stabilize here."

Jin Yi said, "If we're going to settle down, we need to choose a suitable place to live. We have quite a few Males and Cubs in our family, so we'll need to build a large house."

Bai Wanwan remembered she had building materials in her system space, but her points had mostly been used for saving lives, with very few used for anything else.

This pregnancy was with The Cubs of the Orange-Tier Male, Yin Ze. She would definitely receive a generous points reward.

When the time came, she would build a large and comfortable house!

The Males stayed with her until noon. After finishing lunch, Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng left together.

Who knew that as soon as they left, Yan Lie would pull Bai Wanwan into a secluded corner of the courtyard.

"Wan Wan, I missed you so much."

Yan Lie was like a clingy big dog, burying his head in the crook of her neck, greedily inhaling the sweet fragrance that belonged to her.

"I missed you too."

Bai Wanwan leaned in and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

A brilliant light filled Yan Lie's eyes and the corners of his smile. "Here too."

Helpless, she stood on her tiptoes and pressed a kiss onto his lips.

Yan Lie immediately pulled her close, kissing her urgently and deeply. Only after a long time did he pull his lips away, though his arms still held her tightly in his embrace.

"Wan Wan, your Beast Husbands are becoming more and more numerous. Will you always love me?"

"Yes, I will love you more and more every day." She cupped Yan Lie's face and kissed him again.

Bai Wanwan was coaxing her sulking Beast Husband when she looked up and saw a figure leaning against the base of a nearby wall.

Qiu Rong's gaze swept over, his expression seemingly holding a hint of a smile, yet it was also unreadable.

But Bai Wanwan felt inexplicably guilty and instinctively tried to push Yan Lie away.

Following Bai Wanwan's gaze, Yan Lie had already noticed Qiu Rong's presence, but he held the Female in his arms even tighter, as if asserting dominance over the man opposite them.
