431: Chapter 431 You are mine!

Chapter 431: You Are Mine!

Jiao Yin's fingertips still held the delicate, soft touch of her waist. Looking at her turned face, the throbbing in his heart felt as if a basin of cold water had been dumped on it.

Bai Wanwan deliberately ignored the gaze that had been fixed on her.

It wasn't that she didn't understand; it was precisely because she understood too well.

A Male as powerful and handsome as Jiao Yin could easily capture the heart of any Female.

However, Bai Wanwan suppressed the sliver of affection that arose with reason.

Qiu Rong, Xin Feng, Zhu Xiu, Yin Ze, Jin Yi, Yan Lie... They must be extremely anxious, searching everywhere for him.

She already possessed their love; she could not be greedy anymore.

She couldn't help but stroke the totem on her wrist, her gaze becoming incomparably gentle.

Jiao Yin witnessed this scene as well. She was caressing her Beast Husband's totem so tenderly. If... his Merman Beast Form could also appear on the Female's body...

The thought made his entire body uncontrollably hot, and his heart filled with envy for her Beast Husbands.

Thus, when Jiao Yin reappeared near the area where they were playing, Bai Wanwan would use fatigue or the need to rest as an excuse, hastily pulling Jiao Yue back to her crystal room, deliberately avoiding him.

Once, twice... Jiao Yin keenly sensed this avoidance.

He watched Bai Wanwan's hasty retreating figure, and the gentle smile in his eyes gradually faded.

Was she afraid of him? Or... did she detest him?

This thought made him inexplicably agitated.

Time passed quietly amidst the flow of the seawater.

Bai Wanwan's abdomen was becoming increasingly prominent, and the fetal movements were growing more frequent.

Before being abducted by Roger, she had already conceived Qiu Rong's Cub.

She was still waiting for her Beast Husbands to take her back, back to the Tiger Clan Tribe to give birth to this litter of Tiger Cubs.

However, half a month had passed, and although she strained her eyes looking, she never received any news from any Beast Husband!

Restless, she finally couldn't bear it and went to find Jiao Yin.

Jiao Yin was processing a scroll concerning the subsequent movements of the Wane Tribe.

Bai Wanwan mustered her courage and approached: "Jiao Yin..."

Jiao Yin looked up, saw it was her, put down the scroll, and his gaze softened.

"Why did you come over? Is something wrong?"

He knew she was avoiding him; she wouldn't come to find him unless there was a reason.

His gaze swept over her protruding abdomen without seeming to linger. Although Bai Wanwan intentionally avoided him, he still saw her often, witnessing her belly grow higher day by day.

He couldn't help but wonder whose Beast Husband's Cub the Female was carrying this time.

"It's already been half a month," Bai Wanwan tried to keep her voice calm, "Is there any trace of my Beast Husbands by the sea? Or have the Mermen you sent out returned any messages?"

Jiao Yin's brow furrowed almost imperceptibly.

He also found the matter strange.

The Mermen he sent were all trusted by him; logically, they should have reached the Tiger Clan Tribe long ago and brought back news.

Yet, there was still no reply, and even the scouts he sent out hadn't found any traces in the nearby sea area.

"Not yet," he replied truthfully, his voice deep.

This answer was like a splash of cold water.

Bai Wanwan's eyes instantly filled with disappointment and... a trace of undetectable suspicion.

She looked at Jiao Yin's handsome yet calm face, and a terrifying thought uncontrollably surfaced: Would he... not have sent anyone at all? Was he, like Roger, trying to trap her here?

Although the suspicious glance flashed and vanished, it did not escape Jiao Yin's sharp eyes.

An indescribable sourness surged into his heart!

Jiao Yin put down the scroll in his hand, stood up from the Coral chair, "I will personally accompany you to take a look."

The frankness in his eyes made Bai Wanwan feel extremely petty.

"I'm sorry... Jiao Yin, I shouldn't have doubted you, but so much time has passed, and since I haven't seen my Beast Husbands, I started thinking nonsense."

Hearing her apology, the previous discomfort was smoothed over as if by warm spring water.

She was carrying a Cub and stranded outside; anxiety and worry were normal.

"Don't be afraid! You helped me, and I will never harm you," he tried to soften his voice, "I will also personally deliver you back into your Beast Husbands' hands."

His eyes held a faint blue glow, giving people a sense of trustworthiness.

Bai Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and followed him slowly as they swam toward the sea surface.

Soon after, they ascended onto a relatively hidden stretch of reef.

The sea breeze, carrying a salty, fishy smell, rushed toward them. Bai Wanwan greedily inhaled the long-lost air unblocked by seawater, her gaze eagerly sweeping the coastline, hoping to see a familiar figure.

However, she didn't wait for her Beast Husbands, but instead received the 'stare' of two uninvited guests.

In the nearby Dense Forest, a pair of scorching fox eyes were fixed fiercely on this side.

Hua Han had never truly left this sea area, like the most persistent hound, searching day after day for Bai Wanwan's tracks.

He never expected that he would actually wait for the Female to show herself, only that she was accompanied by a strange and powerful Merman Male.

And a more dangerous aura emanated from the shadow of the jagged cliff on the other side.

Roger had also not left. The gunshot wound on his shoulder healed slowly under the erosion of Dark Energy, leaving a hideous scar that constantly reminded him of the shame of that day.

He had conducted a carpet search of this sea area and never thought of giving up.

Until Bai Wanwan's scent reappeared! Like a shark smelling blood, he instantly locked onto his target.

Just as Bai Wanwan and Jiao Yin emerged from the reef, Roger's figure suddenly blocked their path back to the sea like a ghost!

His face was pale, clearly looking like someone who had just recovered from a severe injury.

His handsome features were etched with obsession and gloom. He stared fixedly at Jiao Yin and Bai Wanwan behind him, his voice hoarse like sandpaper rubbing together: "Bai Wanwan, you finally came out."

Jiao Yin stepped forward, completely shielding Bai Wanwan behind him.

"Give her back to me!" His gaze seemed to wish to devour Jiao Yin whole.

Jiao Yin's eyes darkened, water vapor permeated his surroundings, and a powerful pressure was released: "Dream on!"

Bai Wanwan poked her head out from behind Jiao Yin's broad back and shouted sharply at Roger: "Roger! Get lost if you don't want to die! Wasn't the lesson last time enough? With an attack like that, how many times do you think you can withstand it?"

She tried to intimidate him with the deterrent power of the Laser Gun.

Roger's gaze swept over Bai Wanwan, carrying deep-seated love and hate, along with a trace of undetectable apprehension.

That bizarre weapon had nearly cost him half his life last time. If it weren't for the Dark Energy, he might not have been able to stand before her again.

"Bai Wanwan," he gritted out, madness of burning one's boats in his eyes, "Even if you kill me, I won't let you go! You can only be mine!"

Before his words finished, dense Dark Energy erupted around him again, like a venomous python seeking to devour its prey, fiercely pouncing toward Jiao Yin!
