383: Chapter 383 A Deep Sense of Happiness

"You really want to know?" The corner of Qiu Rong's mouth curved up in a rare smile.

She had known Qiu Rong for quite a while, and although they hadn't spent much time together, she had never seen him smile before.

At this moment, his brows were relaxed, and the sharp contours of his face softened, making him so handsome that it was impossible to look away.

Bai Wanwan snapped out of it and nodded at him.

"I simply told her that I have a Consort now, and Cubs as well. No matter what she does, I won't be with her."

Hearing him say "have a Consort," Bai Wanwan couldn't help but let her own lips curl into a smile.

Just a moment ago, he had been so fierce in forcing her to admit she hadn't lost her memory, yet he clearly seemed quite satisfied with his current status...

Seeing the uncontrollable smile on Bai Wanwan's lips, Qiu Rong's heart felt as if it had been lightly scratched, and a strange sensation began to grow.

"You performed quite well. Once you've recovered, I'll give you a good reward."

Qiu Rong's eyes darkened instantly, and his voice grew a bit raspy. "What kind of reward?"

Bai Wanwan was laughing, but seeing his expression, she immediately knew his thoughts had strayed.

"What are you thinking? I meant I'll make you something delicious. You haven't tasted my cooking yet; I guarantee once you try it, you'll want it again."

The curve of Qiu Rong's lips deepened, but before he could say more, Zhu Xiu, Jin Yi, and the others who had been out stepped through the door.

Seeing Bai Wanwan and Qiu Rong sitting in the courtyard, they walked straight over.

Zhu Xiu looked at Qiu Rong. "Regarding the killing of the Clan Leader, although you cleaned up well, there are still rumors outside suspecting you killed him."

Qiu Rong didn't care. "It doesn't matter. If any Male wants to challenge me, I'm ready anytime."

The position of Clan Leader wasn't fixed. Although it could be passed down to a designated Young Clan Leader, if an exceptionally powerful Male challenged them and won, the position had to be yielded to the stronger Male.

Zhu Xiu stared at him, a dark glint flickering in his red-tinted eyes. "Wan Wan plans to settle in the Tiger Clan. Are you certain you can defeat every Male who challenges you?"

Qiu Rong turned his gaze toward him, their eyes seemingly clashing in the air. "Whether I can win or not, you'll see for yourself when the time comes."

He had fought his way back all the way from the Cat Clan Tribe. In the past year or so, he hadn't just improved his Innate Ability; he had also cultivated his own influence.

In fact, even if Bai Wanwan hadn't appeared, he would have attacked Zhu Li at this juncture anyway.

Bai Wanwan's appearance had slightly disrupted his rhythm.

But overall, it was a good thing; because of her and these other Males, he no longer had any worries about the future.

"It's best if you can handle it," Zhu Xiu said, then changed the subject. "There are more and more Males and Cubs in the family, and this place isn't cold-resistant. There's a nice plot of land on the back mountain with a small stream nearby. Wan Wan would like it. How about building a new house there?"

Qiu Rong recalled the terrain nearby and frowned. "That place is nice, but it's relatively remote and not as safe as being in the city."

Bai Wanwan thought to herself that with a stream nearby, there would be no shortage of fish and shrimp.

Besides, if she could wake up every day, open the window, and see green mountains and clear waters, life would be much more pleasant.

"It doesn't matter. This is a Super Tribe; beastmen won't easily come to provoke us." Not to mention she had so many Beast Husbands now, so there was no risk of being unable to manage like before.

Hearing her say that, Qiu Rong knew she was willing.

"Fine. Once things stabilize, we can dispatch beastmen to patrol that area frequently."

"Wan Wan, we plan to set out tomorrow to return to the Tribe and bring all The Cubs back," Jin Yi said beside her.

"You all?" Bai Wanwan's gaze swept over her several Beast Husbands. "Which of you are going back?"

"Me, Xin Feng, and Yin Ze."

"Yin Ze?" Bai Wanwan was a bit surprised to see Yin Ze walking over.

This had nothing to do with him; why would he go along?

Seeing the topic turn to him, the usually reticent Yin Ze stepped forward. "Yes. Wan Wan, you probably haven't seen The Cubs in a long time. If I go with them, flying will save a lot of time."

With Yin Ze there, an additional flying Orange-Tier Beastman would certainly make things safer.

Bai Wanwan felt a warmth in her heart. "Thank you for your hard work."

Watching the Males discuss family matters with rare harmony, her gaze tenderly swept over each of their faces.

This warm sense of belonging made her feel like the luckiest person in the world.

A deep sense of happiness gradually blossomed in her heart...

Four days passed in the blink of an eye, and Qiu Rong's injuries healed quickly.

Every morning, Bai Wanwan would perform a routine check, and the wounds on his body had faded to almost nothing but faint scars.

After the checkup this morning, Qiu Rong went out.

Bai Wanwan stayed in the courtyard playing with The Cubs until she heard footsteps behind her.

Turning around, she saw it was Qiu Rong and immediately waved to him with a smile. "The Cubs just happened to be missing you. Come and play with them for a bit."

Qiu Rong didn't respond but simply walked over to her side with his long legs.

He leaned down and picked up two small Cat Cubs from the ground.

He stroked the Cat Cubs' heads soothingly, but his gaze turned toward the Female beside him. "Wan Wan, my Mother wants to see you."

Hearing this, Bai Wanwan reflexively recalled the unpleasant experience she'd had meeting Jin Yi's Mother at the Golden Lion Tribe.

Qiu Rong noticed the strange expression on her face. "You don't want to go?"

"It's not that. But you should be mentally prepared: if your Mother tries to make things difficult for me, I might embarrass her so much she won't be able to sleep for days."

Qiu Rong gave a light chuckle and nodded simply. "Fine."

"Really?" Bai Wanwan was a bit skeptical and turned to look at him.

Seeing that his expression hadn't changed, she figured she'd have to meet his Mother sooner or later anyway, so it might as well be today!

"Wait for me a moment."

She had to change into her battle armor!

Bai Wanwan quickly ducked into the house, retrieved a pale purple dress from her system space, undid her braids to comb her hair again, and even put on some hair ornaments.

Bai Wanwan walked out of the house feeling satisfied, only to see that the Male's expression didn't seem to have changed at all.

She deliberately twirled in front of him, her skirt fluttering.

"Does it look good?"

Qiu Rong's eyes darkened slightly, but he only uttered a single syllable.

"Mm."

Bai Wanwan didn't force him to praise her. After teasing him a bit, she began preparing for what was about to happen.

After rehearsing the scenario a few times in her mind, they arrived at Qiu Rong's Mother's home with The Cubs.

As soon as they entered, a kind and gentle Female grabbed her wrist, staring at her curiously from all angles.

Just as Bai Wanwan was about to pull away, she heard the woman ask softly, "Wan Wan, that's your name, right?"

Her eyes seemed to hold stars, exceptionally bright and dazzling.

They also carried a sense of worldly innocence.

The show of power Bai Wanwan had imagined didn't happen.

Bai Wanwan nodded dazed and was pulled further inside affectionately.

"Wan Wan, sit down quickly. Tell me, how did you manage to win over this Male Cub of mine?"

She blinked her large eyes, looking incredibly curious.

Bai Wanwan's mindset hadn't adjusted yet. She had clearly come for a confrontation, so how did it turn into this?
