406: What did they do to her in Chapter 406?

Chapter 46: What Did He Do to Her?

When Bai Wanwan's gaze fell upon that stunningly beautiful face, the other suddenly smiled.

That smile was like a blooming magnolia in spring, so beautiful it made one's heart tremble.

Bai Wanwan felt a tingling numbness in her head, as if an electric current had shot through it.

She didn't know how much time had passed before she suddenly snapped back to her senses.

Had she just been bewitched by the merman?

Steadying herself, she calmly stood up and walked towards the pool.

With Yin Ze by her side, she wasn't worried that a beastman with a Green Tier Talent could harm her.

"What trick did you just play on me?"

She stared into the merman's eyes, which were as clear and transparent as crystal, but she had no mind to appreciate their beauty, only a deep sense of scrutiny.

The merman swayed gently in the water, his silver-white hair spreading out on the surface like moonlight, creating rippling circles.

"I didn't do anything," he said, looking at her with clear, guileless eyes that held no flaw.

Bai Wanwan wasn't buying it. "It better be that way. If you behave yourself, I can let you hide here for a few days."

At this point, her tone shifted, becoming sharp. "But if you dare play any tricks... I'm afraid you won't be leaving here in one piece."

A trace of fear appeared in the merman's eyes and on his face. "I'll remember that."

Bai Wanwan withdrew her gaze, unable to tell for a moment whether this merman was truly innocent or just a superb actor.

The merman slowly sank into the water, and Bai Wanwan turned towards her Beast Husband.

The wariness between her brows instantly melted into a tenderness like spring water. "Isn't it hot, sitting here all day?"

The Hot Season had arrived, and the weather was getting hotter and hotter.

Summer without air conditioning was truly unbearable, yet Yin Ze had been guarding in the courtyard the entire day.

Yin Ze smiled at her. "I'm not hot."

She walked closer to him step by step, reaching out to wipe the fine sweat from his brow. "You're sweating and still saying you're not hot?"

Yin Ze grasped her wrist and, in one smooth motion, picked her up and carried her towards a shady spot.

"I'm not hot. I don't want you to get sunburned."

Bai Wanwan leaned against his chest, tilting her head to smile at him.

Sensing her gaze, Yin Ze lowered his head slightly.

Even though he tried to appear calm, the tips of his ears flushed red when he saw the Female smiling as she stared at him.

"What are you smiling at?"

"I'm wondering if your face would turn even redder if I kissed you."

As she spoke, she leaned in and planted a kiss on his lips.

Bai Wanwan observed his expression. After a moment of stunned silence, the Male gripped her waist, leaned in, and kissed her again.

Laughter spilled from between their lips, and Yin Ze's mouth curved upwards as well, kissing her more and more gently.

The breeze of the Hot Season brushed past, seemingly reluctant to shatter this moment of sweetness.

Only after a long, long time did Yin Ze finally release her.

He sat her on his lap, and his broad hand gently fanned her.

His actions warmed her heart.

She stroked her high, rounded belly and leaned her head against his shoulder. "Guess... how many eggs are in my belly?"

The man's gaze fell upon her swollen abdomen, his eyes so tender they seemed to drip with affection. "One... or two, either is fine. I don't mind."

"Can't you guess a few more?" she teased, gently stroking his jaw.

"The Phoenix Clan has difficulty with offspring. One egg per pregnancy is already rare; two would be a blessing from the Beast Form." He looked at her with serious eyes.

His descendants couldn't be like those of other races, having several at once.

Bai Wanwan blinked and swallowed the words that had come to her lips.

Since he thought there wouldn't be many, she would keep it as a surprise and let him see for himself how many there were when they hatched.

Drowsiness gradually washed over her. Groggily, she grabbed his hand. "Stop fanning, rest for a while..."

"I'm not tired."

"I'm not hot anymore..." Before she could finish her sentence, she had already fallen asleep, clutching his arm.

Yin Ze gazed at the sleeping face of the person in his arms, ripples of emotion stirring in his heart.

Yin Ze never imagined he would grow to like this Little Female in his arms more and more with each passing day.

Even if it cost him his life, he wanted to be with her forever.

In the pool, Jiao Yin watched this scene through a gap.

Having grown accustomed to Females who drooled over him, Bai Wanwan's reaction truly surprised him.

He could clearly see admiration in her eyes, yet he saw no desire for possession.

What was even stranger was that even his Talent for charm had no effect on her.

A Female who was gentle as water to her partner, yet guarded and strict towards him...

As dusk fell, Bai Wanwan slowly awoke.

Her room was already filled with her Beast Husbands.

"Awake?" Yan Lie was the first to notice. He strode forward, pulled her into his arms, and couldn't resist planting a kiss on her lips.

"Mhm, you're all back," she replied, stretching.

Xin Feng was setting the dishes on the table, while Zhu Xiu placed her usual chopsticks in front of her.

After sitting down, Bai Wanwan swept her gaze over her many Beast Husbands. "I heard you talking about lumber earlier?"

"It's all prepared. We'll start construction in the next couple of days," Zhu Xiu explained slowly, looking at her. "We need to finish before the Rainy Season. You and The Cubs will be warmer in the new house."

She also wanted to move into the new house before the Snow Season arrived. With sufficient heating, the Snow Season would no longer be unbearable.

Qiu Rong sat down beside her and turned to look at her. "There's another thing... I noticed Wan Wan doesn't have a Shape Carving on her body. So, you all haven't held the Bonding Ceremony yet?"

Several Beast Husbands simultaneously looked at Bai Wanwan.

Under the collective gaze of her Beast Husbands, Bai Wanwan offered an appeasing smile. "We'll hold it soon. Qiu Rong, whenever it's convenient for you, we can all hold it together."

The original plan to hold it in the Golden Lion Tribe had been postponed due to unforeseen events. Now, with Yin Ze and Qiu Rong added...

It was perfect for everyone to hold it together.

"I've just succeeded as the chieftain. This would be a good opportunity to invite various Tribes to witness the ceremony. What do you think?"

"I'll listen to all of you." Did she dare have an opinion?

If they didn't hold it soon, her Beast Husbands would definitely make a fuss.

Hearing that a grand ceremony would be held, The Cubs, with meat chunks in their mouths, hopped around their Father Beasts excitedly. "Will all kinds of beastmen come to our Tribe? Those that fly in the sky, those that swim in the water, will they all come?"

The Males each patted their own Cubs' heads. "They probably will."

The Cubs, having received a positive answer, cheered and jumped for joy. The evening meal was exceptionally lively.

After nightfall, it was Xin Feng's turn to accompany her.

Having slept enough during the day, Bai Wanwan tossed and turned, unable to sleep. Xin Feng gently patted her back to soothe her.

"Stop patting, you sleep..." She kissed his cheek and considerately patted his back instead.

Xin Feng, exhausted from the day's work, quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Listening to his even breathing, Bai Wanwan felt very much at peace.

Yet she was also incredibly awake. By the time she counted the thousandth sheep, the urge to urinate forced her to get up.

As soon as she pushed the door open and stepped outside, a figure approached.

Looking closely, it was Yan Lie, who was on night watch.

This was the result of a discussion among the Beast Husbands. To ensure the safety of the Female and The Cubs, they would take turns keeping watch each night.

"Why are you up?"

Yan Lie's voice made her relax her guard.

Just as she was about to answer, a sudden wave of dizziness washed over her.

One moment she had been full of energy, and the next, drowsiness surged over her like a tide.

In her last conscious moment, she felt herself falling into a slightly cool embrace.

Instinctively, she reached out and wrapped her arms around that slender waist...
