463: Chapter 463 I Want to Hug You Like They Do

(The previous chapter was locked, everyone please wait a moment to read it.) "Wan Wan, I missed you so much."

His scorching lips eagerly landed behind her sensitive ear and on her neck, his burning breath spraying onto her skin.

The passion that had been stirred up by Zhu Xiu in the forest and then forcibly suppressed now reignited like wild grass under the dual influence of Yan Lie's burning aura and the pregnancy hormones.

Bai Wanwan trembled, involuntarily leaning toward him.

Yan Lie immediately caught her reaction, his large hand excitedly reaching toward her lower abdomen, his voice excited, "Wan Wan, you miss me too, right?"

Bai Wanwan directly stood on her tiptoes and actively moved closer, blocking more of his words.

Just then, the beast skin curtain at the entrance of the inner Cave was lifted, and Xin Feng walked in carrying a freshly boiled herbal soup.

Yan Lie didn't want to let go, but he knew Wan Wan was too shy and definitely wouldn't want to mate with him in front of Xin Feng.

He reluctantly let go of his hand.

"Yan Lie, come help me for a moment."

Coincidentally, Yin Ze, who was cleaning up the prey outside the Cave, called out to him.

He left, looking back three times with reluctance.

Xin Feng looked at Bai Wanwan's still flushed cheeks and slightly disheveled clothes, his eyes darkening for a moment, but he quickly returned to his usual gentle demeanor.

He set the broth aside, walked up to her, and gently stroked her cheek. His fingertips were slightly calloused. "You've lost weight."

"Without us by your side, were you scared?"

This gentle inquiry gently plucked the softest string in Bai Wanwan's heart.

The fatigue from days of travel, the worry, and the arousal just stirred up by Yan Lie instantly transformed into a surge of emotional fluctuation.

Her eyes turned slightly red. Like a small beast seeking refuge, she threw herself into Xin Feng's warm and reliable embrace, tightly hugging his waist.

"Mmm," she mumbled, burying her face against his chest, "I'm glad you found me."

Even though Jiao Yin and Hua Han acted reliably later, that feeling of having a suspended heart and no sense of belonging could only be truly calmed when she was beside her recognized Beast Husbands.

Xin Feng's heart softened, and he gathered his arms to hold her close.

His chin rested lightly on the top of her head, silently conveying strength.

He lowered his head, and his gentle kisses landed like feathers on her forehead and between her brows, carrying comfort and cherishment.

However, the flames Yan Lie had just ignited inside Bai Wanwan had not completely died down. Under Xin Feng's gentle embrace and kisses, they began to stir restlessly again.

He was the first Male to be with Wan Wan, so he was most familiar with her reactions and scent when she became passionate.

He loved the scent she gave off when aroused, but the current Cave was too narrow, and the Males kept coming and going. He didn't want the Female to have her aroused appearance seen by other Males.

He caught the hand that was playfully tugging at his belt. His breathing, tainted with desire, became somewhat heavy.

A flush rose on his handsome face, and his voice suppressed the surging passion: "Wan Wan... later, okay? I'll give it to you when they are not around."

He struggled to restrain himself, pressing a deeper kiss onto her lips.

Bai Wanwan felt the tension in his body and that restrained gentleness, and the restlessness in her heart strangely calmed down a bit. His embrace was so warm, and his aura was clean and pleasant.

Just holding him like this made her feel so happy.

Night deepened, and the wind and snow seemed to lessen slightly.

Hua Han had suffered a severe injury after all; the lost blood could not be replenished with Healing Ointment, so he was still very weak.

When the bonfire burned that night, he had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Bai Wanwan sat around the flames with several Beast Husbands.

"I want to stay here for a while. Hua Han has been rescued and needs quiet rest for his injuries; there's no rush to travel anymore. Moreover..." She paused and gently stroked her abdomen.

"After I give birth to this litter, once I have enough points, I will exchange for Chi Rank Potions for you all to upgrade. Then we can go to the Jiaolong Tribe. What do you all think?"

"Mmm, I listen to whatever Wan Wan says."

Yan Lie's eyes sparkled. Now that he had found Wan Wan, he was willing to stay in this desolate place for the rest of his life.

"Mmm, it's inconvenient for you now while pregnant with Cubs. Let's wait until after you give birth and the Warm Season arrives before we set off slowly."

After the Beast Husbands discussed it, the next day they found a larger, more spacious, and wind-sheltered Cave.

In the following days, the Males demonstrated powerful execution.

Yin Ze and Yan Lie were responsible for vigilance and clearing a larger activity range; Zhu Xiu used his massive body and powerful tail to skillfully widen and reinforce the interior of the Cave; Xin Feng meticulously arranged the internal space. Thick, treated beast skins were nailed at the Cave entrance to serve as windproof door curtains, blocking most of the cold air.

The interior of the Cave was also covered with layers of soft beast skin carpets by Yin Ze and Hua Han working together, making it warm and comfortable to step on and insulating against the cold ground.

Hua Han's injuries improved visibly day by day under the meticulous care of Bai Wanwan and the Beast Husbands.

The Males rotated duties with tacit understanding. Usually, two remained inside the Cave to guard Wan Wan and the Cubs, while the others went out to patrol or hunt, ensuring safety and food supply.

That day, it was Xin Feng's turn to guard the entrance.

Inside the Cave, only Bai Wanwan and Hua Han, who was lying on the warm beast skin mat and mostly recovered from his injuries, remained.

The Cave was filled with the mixed scent of herbs and beast skins, warm and tranquil.

Hua Han greedily watched Bai Wanwan's slender, busy back. His beautiful fox eyes were filled with a longing and attachment that almost overflowed.

Last night... those suppressed and ambiguous sounds coming from the depths of the Cave scratched at his heart like little claws, keeping him awake all night.

He could no longer restrain himself. As Bai Wanwan walked closer, he suddenly stretched out his arms, tightly embracing her waist from behind, burying his face in the hollow of her neck, greedily breathing in her unique fragrance.

"Wan Wan..." His voice was husky with a hint of coquettishness and grievance, "I heard... last night..."

He felt the body in his arms stiffen slightly. He tightened his arms further, "I really want to hold you like they do... truly hold you."

Since she had already decided to accept him as her mate, Bai Wanwan no longer resisted.

She relaxed her body against him, feeling his heart pounding like a drum in his chest. She deliberately turned her head, a smile playing on her lips to tease him: "Aren't you holding me right now? Holding me so tightly."

"Not enough..." Hua Han shook his head eagerly, "I want..."

His gaze, uncontrollably, carrying a scorching heat, locked firmly onto Bai Wanwan's nearby, moist, and full red lips.

He had already sketched those lips countless times in his mind over numerous days and nights of longing.

His Adam's apple bobbed, his breathing became scorching and rapid, and his body slowly leaned forward, with the recklessness and piety of a newborn calf, slowly, tentatively approaching that alluring sweetness...
