Chapter 46: She Must Go!

"Crack! Crack!"

The sickening sound of shattering bones rang out one after another!

Several Eagle Beasts charging at the front were instantly bitten to pieces and devoured by the terrifying giant serpent before they could even let out a shriek.

The remaining Eagle Beasts, unable to dodge in time, were viciously struck and sent flying like broken sacks, smashing against the distant cliff face, their bones and tendons utterly shattered!

At the same time, a golden bolt of lightning shot out from the flank!

The agile and mighty Golden Lion roared as it leaped several meters high, its sharp claws like the scythe of death, precisely piercing the Eagle Beasts' abdomens and tearing viciously, scattering entrails and blood like a torrential downpour!

"Roar!"

The Males roared in unison, filling Bai Wanwan with immense surprise and joy.

On another side, a sleek giant wolf with fur like silver moonlight moved with ghostly agility, leaping and dodging, each flash accompanied by the crisp snap of an Eagle Beast's throat being bitten through.

The sudden reinforcements descended like divine soldiers, tearing a bloody gash through the fierce Eagle Beast horde with an absolutely overwhelming force.

The terrifying, peak Orange Tier aura was unleashed without restraint, mingling with the thick scent of blood, intimidating the remaining Eagle Beasts into panicked cries and throwing their formation into chaos!

On the phoenix's back, Bai Wanwan looked down at the familiar, powerful figures and the crushing battle scene. Her tightly wound nerves suddenly relaxed, and she was instantly overwhelmed by immense joy and an indescribable sense of safety.

"Zhu Xiu! Xin Feng..."

The King Cobra (the one holding its head high, disdainful, venomous fangs dripping with blood) heard the voice. Its massive snake head turned slightly towards the direction of the cliff cave. Its cold, vertical pupils instantly melted with a trace of imperceptible tenderness upon seeing the Female on the phoenix's back, tear-streaked yet safe and sound.

His deep, magnetic voice pierced through the Eagle Beasts' wails and the wind and snow, coming through clearly: "Hmm, we're here. Don't be afraid!"

The Beast Husbands worked together and quickly dispatched all the Eagle Beasts.

Yan Lie charged to the front, pulling Bai Wanwan tightly into his embrace.

Though he yearned for the Female's warm, soft body, he quickly let go, yielding her to the Male behind him.

Jin Yi stepped forward and hugged her just as tightly. "Wan Wan, it's so good that you're alright!"

"I'm fine. I'll always stay with you all."

Only then did Jin Yi's anxious heart finally settle.

After Jin Yi stepped aside, Xin Feng stood behind him.

Xin Feng's gentle eyes gazed at her, seeming to check if she had lost weight. After confirming her complexion was normal, he then pulled her into his arms.

"Are the Cubs all doing well?"

"Hmm, don't worry. Qiu Rong is watching over them."

"That's good."

Finally, it was Zhu Xiu.

He picked Bai Wanwan up and carried her into the cliff cave, placing her on the temporary bed layered with thick beast skins.

"Aren't you cold?"

Bai Wanwan flashed him a toothy grin. "Not cold, I'm wearing a lot underneath."

Zhu Xiu's gaze lingered on her for a long moment before shifting away, sweeping around the cave. "Yin Ze said there were two other Males taking care of you. Why aren't they here?"

Mentioning Jiao Yin and Hua Han, the smile vanished from Bai Wanwan's face.

"Jiao Yin went back to save his Clan Members. Hua Han... he was captured by the Jiaolong Males to buy me time to escape."

Then, Bai Wanwan shared her speculations about her original body's origins.

The Beast Husbands looked at each other, clearly showing some astonishment.

They had originally thought their Female was just an ordinary feline, never expecting she carried the bloodline of the Jiaolong Clan.

The cold wind, carrying snowflakes, whipped against the exposed rocks.

Bai Wanwan voiced her thoughts.

"Originally, I intended to let those past matters scatter with the wind. What happened to the past 'Bai Wan' has nothing to do with me. I just wanted to stay with you all, watch over the Cubs, and live our present life well." She paused, her fingers rubbing the edge of the beast skin. "But now... the situation has changed. It's not about whether I'm willing to uncover it, but those beastmen, they won't let me go, and they've even dragged Hua Han into it."

Her words were like stones cast into a calm lake, stirring ripples in the eyes of the Beast Husbands.

Jin Yi's pupils contracted slightly, Zhu Xiu's cold serpentine eyes flashed with a dangerous glint, and Yan Lie let out a low growl.

"Wan Wan," Yin Ze's voice was steady and powerful, carrying the clarity unique to the Phoenix Clan, "whatever you decide to do, whether the path ahead is thorns or an abyss, we will accompany you."

Xin Feng nodded silently.

Yan Lie even thumped his chest. "Right! Anyone who wants to touch you has to get through us first!"

A surge of warmth instantly dispelled the chill in Bai Wanwan's heart.

A genuine smile bloomed on her face, like the warm sun rising in the icy, snowy landscape. "Good! Then let's go rescue Hua Han and settle that trouble once and for all!"

Her resolve firm, she hesitated no longer.

With a slight stir of her will, the familiar semi-transparent system interface appeared before her eyes.

It clearly displayed: "points Balance: 25,378."

Without the slightest pang of regret, she decisively selected the exchange section, aiming clearly for a potion shimmering with an alluring crimson glow.

After exchanging it for 150,000 points, the potion appeared in her palm.

Her gaze swept over the many Beast Husbands. "I can only afford one potion with my current points, but I believe it won't be long before I can exchange for more."

She handed the potion to Zhu Xiu. "Zhu Xiu, this Red Tier potion is for you first. You're a Mutated Beast, reaching the Red Tier will make you stronger than an ordinary Red Tier. Having you upgrade first is the safest option for all of us."

The other Beast Husbands felt no resentment; instead, they fully agreed with Bai Wanwan's words.

Zhu Xiu reached out and took it without any hesitation. His forked tongue coiled around it, and the cold reagent slid down his throat.

A surge of powerful energy immediately emanated from his massive body. The black scales on his back grew even darker and more profound, faintly shimmering with a crimson halo.

Sensing the escalating aura from Zhu Xiu, Bai Wanwan's heart settled considerably.

She gently touched her slightly rounded belly, where new life was growing.

With Zhu Xiu's Red Tier strength, plus the Cubs in her womb—if their Talent was high enough—the next litter might allow the other two Beast Husbands to upgrade to the Red Tier.

By then, even if the Jiaolong Tribe was a true dragon's den and tiger's lair, what would she have to fear?

"Xin Feng, Jin Yi, I want to go after those Jiaolong Males now. They might not have gone far yet. I want to rescue Hua Han before they do."

"The snow outside is so heavy..." Xin Feng clearly hesitated, then turned and said, "Let Yin Ze take us to rescue him. You wait here for us."

Bai Wanwan shook her head. "No need. I'm not afraid of this bit of wind and snow. I'll go with you. Besides, we'll need to go to the Jiaolong Tribe together later."

In the minds of the Males, Snow Season was unsuitable for travel, especially for Cubs and Females.

"I'm not like ordinary Females. I'm not afraid of the cold."

Her system space held so many supplies; down jackets and hand warmers could definitely be put to use.

But she must go on this trip!
