401: Chapter 401 A Warm Feeling in My Heart

Chapter 41: A Warm Feeling in the Heart

After Bai Wanwan and Yin Mei met up, they spent some time wandering around and eating before heading home.

Unlike the relaxed expressions on the two Females' faces, Yin Ze barely spoke during the latter half of the walk, constantly keeping an eye on any beastman who approached.

It wasn't until Bai Wanwan stepped through the front door that Yin Ze's heart finally settled back into his chest.

Yan Lie came to meet them with The Cubs. "Wan Wan, where did you go?"

"Yin Ze accompanied me for a stroll. Next time, we'll go to a different street."

Yan Lie had originally felt a bit jealous, but his feelings were immediately smoothed over by her next sentence.

"Alright, next time I'll accompany you to play for the whole day."

As they spoke, Yan Lie noticed that Yin Ze, standing behind Bai Wanwan, had no smile on his face.

He had spent the whole day out playing with Wan Wan, yet he was still unhappy?

Once Wan Wan's attention was drawn away by The Cubs, Yan Lie walked over to Yin Ze's side.

"Wan Wan accompanied you out to play, and you're still unhappy? I advise you not to develop any thoughts of monopolizing Wan Wan. If you truly think that way, none of us will let you off."

After all, Yin Ze was also a powerful Orange-Tier Male and a Flying Beastman. If he wanted to take Wan Wan away, it would be easier for him than for any of the others.

Yin Ze snapped back to his senses and shook his head at him. "You misunderstand. I've never thought of monopolizing Wan Wan. I know you all were here before me; it is already my luck that you could accept me."

Yan Lie stared at him skeptically. "Then why did you look so unhappy just now?"

Yin Ze hesitated for a moment before voicing his concerns. "When we were outside today, I felt like there was a beastman watching us the whole time. But I searched everywhere and didn't see anyone suspicious. Perhaps it was just my imagination."

Hearing this, Yan Lie immediately became alert. "Was it an occasional feeling or constant?"

"Constant."

"You are an Orange-Tier Male, so your perception is naturally sharp. If you felt it the whole time, then most likely a beastman really was watching you. Wan Wan has been lost from my hands several times before. You must be more careful in the future and try not to take Wan Wan out alone..."

While the two Beast Husbands were talking in low voices, Bai Wanwan was knocking on the room door that the Tiger Cubs had shut.

Just now, while playing with The Cubs, she suddenly noticed that her and Qiu Rong's Cubs were not there.

After asking around, she learned that they had gone into the room as soon as they got home and hadn't come out since.

Bai Wanwan asked the little Snake Cubs following beside her in a low voice, "Good cub, do you know what happened?"

The Snake Cub climbed up her pant leg and coiled around her arm, affectionately rubbing its head against Bai Wanwan's cheek.

"Mother, Big Brother and Big Sister might be angry."

Hearing this, Bai Wanwan turned her head to look at the tightly closed door again.

She didn't keep knocking but instead reached out to stroke its head. "Then can you tell Mother what happened when you went out to play today?"

The Snake Cub nodded. "Brother Xingxing thought Brother Qiongguang was very powerful and challenged him. As a result, Brother Qiongguang couldn't even take one hit and was sent flying by Brother Xingxing."

Bai Wanwan's heart sank. "And then?"

"None of us expected it, but Brother Xingxing directly asked, 'Brother, how can you not even take one of my claws?' After Brother Qiongguang scrambled up from the ground, he ran back home."

Relieved to hear it wasn't a malicious fight among The Cubs, Bai Wanwan's expression softened slightly.

"Good cub, thank you for telling Mama everything. Mama is going to talk to your Brother Qiongguang now. Why don't you go play with your brothers and sisters first?"

The Snake Cub flicked its tongue and licked her cheek with an air of attachment.

Only after Bai Wanwan held it and gave it several more kisses did it reluctantly slither down to the ground, looking back as it moved away.

Once the Snake Cub left, Bai Wanwan continued knocking on the door.

"Cubs, Mama knows you're inside. Won't you open the door? Mama hasn't seen you all day and missed you so much."

After Bai Wanwan said this, some movement came from inside the room.

But it quickly stopped again.

"Mama also wanted to sleep with you tonight and tell you stories. It seems my Cubs don't welcome Mama, so Mama is leaving..."

Saying this, she made a show of leaving, intentionally taking two loud steps.

Almost immediately, the room door was opened.

The figure of a Cat Cub appeared at the doorway. "Mama, don't go!"

Bai Wanwan turned back, saw the Cat Cub's longing eyes, and sighed. She stepped forward and picked her up from the floor.

She lowered her head to kiss her cheek, soothing her: "Do you want to hear Mama tell a story?"

She nodded very straightforwardly. "Yes!"

After saying that, she glanced toward the nest. "Mama, tell Brothers a story, then Brothers won't be unhappy anymore."

"Okay, Mama will go see your brothers right now."

Carrying the Cat Cub, she walked over to the other Cubs' nest.

Except for the Cat Cub in her arms, the other three Male Cubs all had their heads buried in the beast skins, revealing only their round little rumps.

Their tails twitched from time to time.

"Oh? Where have Mama's good Cubs hidden themselves?"

Bai Wanwan asked despite knowing the answer, but The Cubs were clearly in no mood to play games with her, remaining motionless in the nest.

She gently placed the Cat Cub on the ground, tapped its tiny nose, and then gave her a soft "shh."

The Cat Cub stood obediently to the side without making a sound, only watching her quietly with wide eyes.

Only then did Bai Wanwan turn and pounce directly onto the Cat Cub on the far left.

"Mama found you!"

As she spoke, she picked the Male Cat Cub up from the nest.

The Cat Cub lowered its head forcefully, not wanting to be seen by her.

When Bai Wanwan tilted her head to look, it even raised its paws to cover its face.

"What's the matter?"

It didn't say a word, so Bai Wanwan used her hand to smooth its fur, helping it relax.

She didn't reach out to pick up the remaining two but instead lay down beside them.

Her hand gently stroked their round bodies one after another. "Cubs, Mama will always be your support. If you encounter anything unhappy, you can tell Mama. So... is there something making you unhappy?"

They still ignored her.

"Alright then, how about Mama tells you a story?"

This time, Bai Wanwan didn't wait for their reaction.

She simply lay flat, holding two Cat Cubs in her arms. "What story should I tell?"

Before Bai Wanwan could start her story, the Tiger Cub closest to her suddenly crawled out and threw itself into her arms. "Mother, waah... why are the younger brothers so powerful? Father Beast is clearly the most powerful Male in the Tiger Clan, so why aren't we as good as the other Beast Husbands' Cubs?"

In the beastman world, all Males valued their Innate Ability and strength; even The Cubs were influenced without exception.

"Cubs, you aren't inferior to any beastman. The reason your Innate Ability isn't strong enough right now is because Mama..."

The Cubs immediately stopped crying and looked at her with blinking, wide eyes. "Because of you?"

"Yes, Mama's health wasn't very good back then, so you were affected when you were born. It's Mama's fault."

Once she said this, even the last Tiger Cub crawled out.

They gathered around Bai Wanwan carefully.

"Mother, is your health better now?"

That single sentence made Bai Wanwan's heart feel warm...
