453: Chapter 453 He's Her Beast Husband!

Chapter 453: It's Her Beast Husband!

He was a sea-dwelling Beastman, and the red meat from the Land was difficult for him to digest, only barely filling his stomach.

During this time, he never complained once, only silently enduring the physical discomfort, leaving all the good meat he hunted for Bai Wanwan and the Cubs.

He never imagined she would notice, much less dared to hope she would prepare something specifically for him.

Bai Wanwan just offered a faint smile, avoiding the specifics: “I have a way; you just need to carry it.”

There was a trace of undetectable concern hidden within that smile.

Jiao Yin only felt the beast skin bag in his hand become incredibly hot.

He gripped the bag tightly, his knuckles turning slightly white from the force.

How could she be so good?

So good that everything he did for her felt far from enough.

The deep-seated affection and reluctance in his heart surged like a violent tide, instantly drowning all his reason.

He could no longer control his body's instincts. His tall frame leaned slightly toward her, using the pretext of tightening the somewhat loose beast skin robe on her body, his arms embraced her gently with a force that was both irresistible and incredibly cherished.

That embrace carried the chill of ice and snow, but also the scorching affection he had suppressed for so long, almost bursting forth.

His chin rested lightly on the top of her head, greedily absorbing the warm scent emanating from her.

The cave was silent, only the cold wind whimpering at the entrance.

Jiao Yin's heart pounded wildly in his chest: How he wished this moment could last forever.

How he wished to hold her like this until the end of time!

“Wan Wan,” his voice was terribly hoarse, laden with deep reluctance, “you sleep a little longer... I’m leaving now.”

He used almost all his strength to force himself to release his arms.

He dared not look at her again, afraid that one more glance would root his feet to the spot. He turned and strode out into the biting wind and snow outside the cave, his retreating figure resolute yet tinged with a hint of panic.

Hua Han had been leaning against the shadows of the cave wall, taking in everything.

Watching Jiao Yin’s embrace, a sour feeling inevitably welled up in his heart, like biting into an unripe wild fruit.

But he quickly suppressed it.

He knew clearly that Jiao Yin and he currently stood on the same side.

Bai Wanwan closed the heavy cave door, sealing the wind and snow outside. When she turned, she saw Hua Han leaning against the doorframe.

Hua Han walked over with a smile, carrying the unique scent of sunshine mixed with pine that was characteristic of him.

He naturally extended his hand, his fingertips gently brushing across Bai Wanwan's cheek, an intimate gesture, “You have some dust on your face; let me wipe it off for you.”

His calloused fingertip was warm, lightly stroking her delicate skin.

Hua Han had originally intended to let her get used to his touch and intimacy bit by bit, but he realized the Female's expression hadn't changed much.

Conversely, the moment he touched her, all his thoughts became chaotic.

The sweet fragrance near his nose, the Female's soft body—it all made him lose control.

Sensing the Male's unsteady breath and stiff body, Bai Wanwan looked at him with a half-smile, even deliberately leaning closer, “What’s wrong?”

Hua Han croaked, “Nothing... nothing at all...”

After speaking, he released her and turned to run out of the Stone House.

Hua Han needed to calm down. His Mating Season had arrived early; just hugging the Female had given him an uncontrollable urge.

To avoid doing something wrong that would earn Wan Wan's disgust, he could only proactively let go.

And for the next two days, Bai Wanwan deliberately teased him, but he could only temporarily keep his distance.

Even so, his mood was wonderful every day.

Another day, he walked back carrying a Stone Jar filled with clear water, calculating that Wan Wan had eaten two more sweet berries this morning, so he would check the farther valley in the afternoon to see if he could find more.

However, just as he was about to reach the cave entrance, the scene before him struck him like a thunderbolt, smashing directly onto the crown of his head.

In the wind-sheltered spot by the cave entrance, Bai Wanwan was being held tightly in the embrace of a tall Male!

The Male had his back to him, his physique strong and upright, his arms possessively wrapped around her waist, their posture incredibly intimate.

A surge of rage instantly swept away Hua Han's reason. The Stone Jar in his hand crashed heavily onto the frozen ground with a 'clank,' splashing clear water everywhere!

Like a ferocious beast completely enraged, he let out a low roar from his throat, his entire body rushing forward like an arrow released from a bow, carrying the savage momentum to tear that Male apart.

“Let her go!” Hua Han roared, his sharp claws already extended.

The Male holding Bai Wanwan immediately turned, his Innate Ability instantly mobilized.

“Hua Han, stop!” Bai Wanwan’s anxious voice rang out. At the same time, she broke free from the Male's embrace and stood between the two of them.

She looked at Hua Han’s bloodshot eyes and quickly explained, “Don't fight! He is my Beast Husband!”

Beast Husband?

Those two words were like a bucket of ice water poured over his head, instantly extinguishing Hua Han's violent rage, but bringing an even more bone-chilling coldness.

Only then did he clearly see the appearance of the Male behind Bai Wanwan.

Tall, handsome, with eyes that were currently looking at him with scrutiny.

This face... it was Yin Ze, one of Bai Wanwan's six Beast Husbands.

They... had found her?

Hua Han felt as if a bucket of cold water had been dumped over his head.

He hadn't won Wan Wan's heart yet, and her Beast Husbands had already arrived.

Did he still have a chance?

Yin Ze had initially been filled with vigilance and defensiveness toward the fox Male in front of him, who exuded hostility and clearly harbored intentions toward Wan Wan.

He subconsciously moved to shield Bai Wanwan behind him, but the Female grabbed his arm. “Yin Ze, he won't hurt me. It was him and Jiao Yin who saved me.”

Upon hearing the words “It was him who saved me,” the coldness in Yin Ze’s eyes instantly dissipated, replaced by sincere gratitude.

He stepped forward and performed the ritual of the Beastmen expressing the highest gratitude toward Hua Han: “Thank you... thank you so much for saving my Female. I, Yin Ze, will remember this kindness forever! From now on, if you have any needs, I, Yin Ze, will never refuse.”

His attitude was sincere and respectful.

Hua Han forcibly suppressed the panic and bitterness in his heart, managing to pull out a relatively proper smile, and responded politely, “It was what I should do; you don't need to thank me.”

He spoke the words of courtesy, but his heart sank into a bottomless icy abyss. His eyes began to scan the surroundings, trying to find Bai Wanwan's other Beast Husbands.

“Wan Wan, Zhu Xiu and the others can't get over for now. The storm in that sea area is too fierce; I could barely pass through myself and couldn't carry them over...”

Yin Ze immediately explained to Bai Wanwan that it wasn't that Zhu Xiu and the others didn't want to come; they simply couldn't cross.

Hua Han, standing nearby, pricked up his ears and heard everything.

Yin Ze's words were like a faint light illuminating the darkness enveloping him ahead.

The tightness around his lips relaxed. Thank goodness, those powerful Beastmen hadn't come. If it was just Yin Ze, he still had a chance.

He immediately switched to a smiling face and eagerly invited Yin Ze inside, “It’s cold outside; come in and talk slowly.”

Bai Wanwan held Yin Ze's hand and turned, “Yes, come inside first.”
