69: Chapter 69 Saving One's Own Female

Bai Wanwan watched as his massive head drew closer, those crimson eyes staring intently at her.

She nodded repeatedly, losing her nerve, "I'm willing, I'm willing."

Almost immediately, the crimson in Zhu Xiu's eyes dissipated significantly.

"Are you truly willing?"

Bai Wanwan quickly nodded again with certainty, "I am!"

She didn't have a First Beast Husband yet, and Zhu Xiu fit her aesthetic perfectly, plus he was a powerful beastman.

Moreover, he had managed to stay undercover in the Wandering Beast City for so long and eventually brought her out safely.

If he became her First Beast Husband, he could probably help her resolve many issues.

"However, I have one condition: you cannot use your status as the First Beast Husband to bully my other Beast Husbands at will."

Zhu Xiu was annoyed; he hadn't even done anything yet, and she was already protecting them?

He didn't say a word, simply wrapping her, shivering from the cold, more tightly.

Bai Wanwan soon sensed his mood and felt she might have gone a bit too far.

She reached out to hug his snake tail and softened her voice, "Are you angry? I apologize. I didn't consider your feelings just now; I just want our family to be harmonious."

Zhu Xiu had indeed been angry, but he didn't lose his temper with Bai Wanwan. This was the first time he had ever entertained the idea of having a Pairing Ceremony and living with a Female.

Since she was the Female he had chosen, he should tolerate some of her temperament.

But he hadn't expected the Little Female to notice and then apologize in return.

Her soft voice quickly smoothed over the lingering irritation in his heart.

"If I am to be your First Beast Husband, the first thing I must handle is any family discord. You're overthinking it."

"Yes, yes, I was being narrow-minded. You are magnanimous, Zhu Xiu; I'm sure you'll manage our family very well."

She teased him with a smile. Noticing she kept leaning outward, Zhu Xiu turned his head to warn her, "Don't keep leaning to the side, you might fall out."

As he spoke, he used his long tail to nudge her body back into a straight position.

Bai Wanwan also noticed that while in the Wandering Beast City, Zhu Xiu had been coldly detached.

She had thought Zhu Xiu didn't have any feelings for her at all.

It turned out he was just faking it.

His attitude toward her had clearly changed a lot now.

"You were willing to leave the Wandering Beast City; does that mean you accomplished what you set out to do?"

"Yes, thanks to that Beast Husband of yours."

"Why thank him? And... he isn't my Beast Husband yet."

She really wasn't sure yet whether Qiu Rong was willing to become her Beast Husband.

"Not your Beast Husband? And yet he would risk entering the Wandering Beast City alone?"

For any other Female, Zhu Xiu admitted he would never do such a thing.

"Things between us are a bit complicated; I'll tell you later. You haven't answered what I just asked."

She poked his long tail, signaling for him to continue.

"I went undercover in the Wandering Beast City for several years to find an energy stone. Yin Da was using that stone to control the city."

"Did you find it?"

"Yes, I located it shortly after arriving at the Wandering Beast City, but Yin Da's guard was too tight. The Wandering Beastmen took turns watching it, and he would check on it himself at any time."

"So he created a distraction, and you took the opportunity to go in and snatch the stone."

"Yes. To obtain it, I lost almost all of my Innate Ability. If I had encountered Yin Da then, I would have died."

"So, Qiu Rong essentially did you a huge favor."

"Correct."

"Then if there's a chance in the future, you should thank him properly."

Zhu Xiu glanced at the sky. "Hold on tight, I'm going to speed up."

It was very dangerous for him to be on the road alone with a Female during such heavy snow.

He had to find a safe place as soon as possible, at least to ensure the safety of the Female and the Cubs.

Awoo!

Bai Wanwan suddenly heard a continuous series of howls.

"Are those wolves?"

"Yes."

As Zhu Xiu's words fell, a large pack of wolves gradually surrounded them in the gloomy light.

One, two...

Bai Wanwan actually had the presence of mind to count all the wolves—there were thirty-eight in total.

"Can you... fight them off?"

She didn't want to be torn apart and eaten by a Wolf Pack in this frozen wasteland.

As a Transmigrated Woman, that would be too pathetic!

"Don't be afraid. Climb onto my back and hold on tight!"

Bai Wanwan quickly scrambled up using both hands and feet.

She climbed up just below his head and hugged him tightly with both arms.

Zhu Xiu's massive snake body reared up.

Lifting her far off the ground.

The Wolf Pack seemed to realize Zhu Xiu's intent and suddenly launched their attack.

His massive snake tail lashed out repeatedly.

One wolf after another was swatted away...

Some that he couldn't fend off leaped onto Zhu Xiu's body, biting into his snake tail.

But the body of a Talented Male was not something ordinary beasts could bite through.

After struggling to bite for a while and finding it impossible, the two wolves locked their vertical pupils onto Bai Wanwan.

They leaped into the air.

Zhu Xiu swiftly swayed his body to dodge the pack's attacks, then his long tail directly swatted away the two vicious wolves that were nearing Bai Wanwan.

The Wolf Pack couldn't truly harm Zhu Xiu, but there were too many of them, and their attacks were fast and fierce.

Most of his energy was focused on protecting Bai Wanwan, so he couldn't eliminate the entire pack immediately.

Just then, a silver afterimage suddenly approached at high speed.

Zhu Xiu quickly spotted it and was about to attack.

The giant Silver Wolf plunged into the pack, killing four or five wolves in quick succession with one bite each.

"Xin Feng?"

Bai Wanwan recognized the Silver Wolf instantly.

The Silver Wolf Xin Feng heard her joyful cry and turned his head to let out a roar toward her.

Then he moved quickly again, collaborating with Zhu Xiu to deal with the Wolf Pack.

In less than five minutes, the thirty-eight wolves lay scattered across the Snowy Ground, all breathless.

Xin Feng's form blurred as he approached, his eyes filled with vigilance and inquiry.

"Wan Wan, who is this?"

Bai Wanwan quickly patted Zhu Xiu's neck. "Zhu Xiu, put me down quickly. He is my Beast Husband Xin Feng. Let me introduce you."

Zhu Xiu recognized him, of course; it was the Silver Wolf who had secretly infiltrated the Wandering Beast City that day and whose life he had spared.

Zhu Xiu placed Bai Wanwan on the ground, and Xin Feng quickly transformed into his human form to approach her.

She was pulled into a tight embrace by Xin Feng.

Bai Wanwan patted his back. "It's alright, we've all escaped."

Xin Feng hummed in response, his arms hugging her tightly. He hadn't had a single moment of peace recently, worrying about her every second.

Bai Wanwan let him hold her. Turning her head slightly, she saw that Zhu Xiu had already transformed into his human form. Though his face was expressionless, his eyes staring at her didn't seem very happy.

Bai Wanwan felt a bit awkward; this... was the first time she had experienced two Beast Husbands meeting.

Um... she felt a bit guilty.

She patted Xin Feng's back and said to him, "Xin Feng, this is Zhu Xiu. He's the one who rescued me from the Wandering Beast City."

After hearing this, Xin Feng turned to Zhu Xiu and thanked him very solemnly.

"Thank you for saving Wan Wan. If you ever need help in the future, I will definitely assist you."

"No need. Protecting my own Female is what I should do."

Zhu Xiu said this calmly, but Xin Feng's expression suddenly shifted.
