455: Chapter 455 was not thrilling.

Yin Ze’s hand gripping her waist tightened, “Wan Wan, you just gave birth...”

Although he desperately wanted it, he worried that her body couldn't handle it during the Snow Season.

She propped herself up, looking at his face in the darkness. Her warm lips brushed almost imperceptibly past his earlobe, her breath like orchid fragrance, “I am different from other Females. As long as you want...”

How could he not want it?

Every day of their separation had been torture.

Imagining the dangers she might have faced, imagining her fear of being alone and helpless, his heart felt like it was being roasted over a fierce fire.

The immense joy of regaining her and the lingering fear caused his long-suppressed longing and possessiveness to surge like a bursting dam.

He longed to confirm her existence, longed to incorporate her completely into his very being in the most primal way.

The moment Bai Wanwan leaned down slowly, laden with temptation, all of Yin Ze’s reason shattered completely.

He stopped restraining himself. Instead, with a desire that was almost pious, he forcefully lifted his strong arms, tightly gripping the back of her neck and her waist, pressing her hard against himself, and kissed her fiercely and deeply!

This kiss was scalding like magma, as if pouring out all the worry, longing, and love from that period into it.

In the darkness, the rustling sound of clothes rubbing together became exceptionally clear.

Yin Ze’s movements carried the urgency of having regained something lost, yet at the critical moment, they were forcibly redirected by his powerful willpower, becoming incomparably gentle.

He treated her like a rare treasure, every touch carrying extreme cherishing and restraint, afraid of hurting her even slightly.

Bai Wanwan, in turn, encouraged him silently and guided him with her soft moans and compliant yielding.

Yin Ze tilted his head back, letting out a satisfied sigh filled with ultimate pleasure, like a low thunder rumbling through the silent Stone House.

“Yin Ze...”

Bai Wanwan’s soft and melodious response, tinged with a hint of lazy nasality, felt like a feather lightly scratching the listener’s heart.

These sounds, amplified infinitely by the Male’s hearing, which far surpassed ordinary people, became incredibly clear, as if experienced right next to the ear.

Outside the curtained doorway, the two Male bodies lying on the Stone Bed simultaneously stiffened like iron.

Hua Han bit down hard on his lower lip. His mind was filled only with the exquisitely beautiful sight of Wan Wan blooming beneath him.

His eyes burned crimson in the darkness, almost dripping blood. He couldn't imagine what that scene must have looked like.

Jiao Yin, however, kept his eyes tightly shut, his jawline taut as if carved by a knife. The hand resting by his side clenched into a fist, as if enduring some kind of torture.

Yin Ze ultimately remained mindful of the presence of Hua Han and Jiao Yin, two Males who were not Wan Wan’s partners, inside the Stone House.

He did not want the Female’s unrestrained, heavenly cries of extreme pleasure to fall into the ears of other Males. Whenever Bai Wanwan uncontrollably arched her slender neck, Yin Ze would precisely capture her lips and kiss her deeply.

Swallowing all that moving sound, only their rapidly intertwining breaths and fierce heartbeats echoed in the darkness.

This deliberate suppression intertwined with ultimate bliss, like dancing on the tip of a knife, making their union filled with a unique kind of stimulation.

It continued until the latter half of the night, when Yin Ze, filled with immense satisfaction and a barely perceptible fatigue, held the completely pliant Bai Wanwan, whose bones felt as if they had been removed, tightly in his arms, and fell into a deep sleep.

At dawn, as the light faintly appeared, the snow light cast a hazy, cold glow inside the Stone House.

Yin Ze carefully got up, tucked the warm beast skin around the sleeping Bai Wanwan, and pressed a gentle kiss on her smooth forehead.

He silently slipped out of the Stone House, facing the biting cold wind, his strong figure quickly vanishing into the vast snowy plains.

Not long after, he returned carrying several fresh kills, gently placing them in the sheltered area outside the Stone House. Only then did he re-enter the house, gazing tenderly at his still deeply sleeping beloved.

When Bai Wanwan awoke, the sun was already high.

The afterglow from the long-absent, thorough intimacy had not completely faded. She only felt as if her entire body had been soaked in warm tide, every inch of her bones exuding a lazy softness.

The fair cheeks still held the blush of last night's passion. As her eyes moved, they carried a seductive charm resulting from being completely nurtured, breathtakingly beautiful.

She pushed herself up, supporting herself with her slightly sore and weak waist. The beast skin slipped down, revealing several ambiguous red marks on her neck and shoulders.

Hua Han was already busy outside, but his peripheral vision constantly monitored the movements inside the house.

Seeing Bai Wanwan in that languid, seductive state, as if she had been meticulously watered, his heart felt fiercely scratched by a cat's paw—both sour and astringent. Yet, he couldn't help but be drawn to her charm at that moment.

He immediately put down the work in his hands, plastered a suitably concerned smile on his face, and quickly walked inside.

“Wan Wan, you’re awake? You must be hungry. I’ve already prepared food for you.”

He reached out, naturally intending to help support her arm. His fingertips brushed against her delicate skin, lingering greedily...

“It’s fine, I can manage myself.” She straightened herself up and slowly walked out of the Stone House.

Yin Ze, who was cleaning the prey outside, heard the movement and immediately came in.

“Wan Wan, you’re awake?”

He stepped forward and wrapped his arm around her slender waist. “Now that you’re awake, I’ll go back and inform Zhu Xiu and the others. I’ll be right back.”

“Okay.”

Yin Ze turned to look at Hua Han and Jiao Yin, his voice sincere: “I have to trouble you two to look after my Consort for a while. Thank you! I’ll be quick and try not to delay things.”

Hua Han immediately spoke up, “Go without worry. With Jiao Yin and me here, we absolutely won't let Wan Wan or The Cubs suffer any grievance! Be careful on your journey!”

This was an opportunity to build a good relationship with Yin Ze. Gaining another Male to stand on their side increased the chance of becoming Wan Wan’s Beast Husband.

Jiao Yin also nodded silently, accepting the request.

Yin Ze’s gaze lingered on Bai Wanwan, filled with deep reluctance to part.

“I will return very soon.”

“Mhm, don’t worry about me. I’m safe here. You take care of yourself.”

“Good.”

Yin Ze finally left, looking back three times at every step. His figure quickly disappeared into the wind and snow.

Hua Han’s face immediately broke into a smile that was a little too brilliant. He turned and nestled down next to Bai Wanwan, sitting so close they could almost feel each other's body heat.

“Wan Wan, Yin Ze is gone. Are you bored? Shall I tell you a story?” He eagerly offered a perfectly roasted piece of meat and warm berry soup, his eyes bright, showing undisguised intent to please.

He tried various ways to find topics and used all sorts of harmless little tricks, attempting to fill the brief void beside her after Yin Ze left.

However, this deliberately created relaxed atmosphere did not last long.

In the evening, footsteps crunching on the snow were heard outside the Stone House. They were not the steady pace of Yin Ze returning, but carried a hint of hesitation and urgency.

Jiao Yin, who was cooking meat for Bai Wanwan, immediately dropped the firewood in his hands and stepped towards the door.
