Chapter 7: Angry?
He stared at Zhu Xiu for a while before slowly shifting his gaze to Bai Wanwan.
Oh no!
How did this awkward confrontation happen so fast? She hadn't even thought of how to sophist—explain yet.
Smiling first was never wrong, so she crinkled her eyes and gave Xin Feng a guilty smile.
"Um... Zhu Xiu will also be my Beast Husband from now on."
Xin Feng's hands tightened unconsciously. Although he knew this day would come, he hadn't expected it to be so soon.
"I understand."
Eh? Not angry?
Bai Wanwan glanced at him once, then again.
No trace of anger could be seen on Xin Feng's perfectly handsome face. He turned to look at Zhu Xiu. "Since you've also become Wan Wan's Beast Husband, we are family from now on."
Zhu Xiu gave a grunt of agreement, his gaze also scanning Xin Feng up and down.
No wonder he was Wan Wan's only Beast Husband; his Innate Ability was strong, and his face was better-looking than many Males.
To accept him so quickly, he either cared for Wan Wan exceptionally much or was very calculating.
"There's a Cave nearby where I've been staying lately. Let's take Wan Wan there first; we can't let her stay on the Snowy Ground for too long."
Bai Wanwan had been nervous for so long, yet the two of them reached a consensus so harmoniously?
Just as Zhu Xiu was about to use his long tail to coil around Bai Wanwan, Xin Feng was a step faster and crouched down. "Wan Wan, get on."
Holding the Cubs, Bai Wanwan quickly climbed onto his back.
She looked back at Zhu Xiu, whose crimson eyes were watching her.
She quickly gave him a concerned smile. "Zhu Xiu, you should catch up quickly too."
Zhu Xiu didn't say much, sliding his long tail and following steadily behind them.
Bai Wanwan also vaguely sensed something was off. She remained as quiet as a mouse, trying to minimize her presence as much as possible.
It really wasn't easy for her to survive in the cracks between them.
"Wan Wan, was he the one taking care of you in Wandering Beast City?" Xin Feng couldn't help but ask.
He hadn't really 'taken care' of her, but he had indeed helped her a lot.
"Um, I guess so."
"Then, did you make him your Beast Husband voluntarily, or did he force you?"
Xin Feng could see Zhu Xiu's strength. If he had used force, Wan Wan wouldn't have dared to resist; it wasn't an impossible scenario.
"It was voluntary, he didn't force me."
Bai Wanwan hugged his neck tightly. "Xin Feng, are you angry?"
Xin Feng was silent for a moment. "I'm not angry, as long as he treats you well."
Once, he was just a Useless Beast, and no Female was willing to have a Pairing Ceremony with him.
Wan Wan is a Sacred Female, yet she didn't choose other powerful Males, choosing a Useless Beast like him instead.
He had always felt fortunate in his heart; as long as Wan Wan was happy, he would do anything for her.
Touched, Bai Wanwan rubbed her cheek against his neck. "Xin Feng, you don't need to endure it. If you're really angry, you can tell me."
Xin Feng looked back at Zhu Xiu, who was following at a moderate distance.
"I might just be a bit unaccustomed to having another Beast Husband suddenly appear by your side, but I'll have to get used to it sooner or later. You are a Sacred Female; if you don't have enough powerful Males to protect you, you'll be in danger."
He was always considering things from her perspective. How could she not like such a good Male?
"Xin Feng, if I ever do something wrong in the future or hurt your feelings, and you get angry, you must tell me in time. Don't keep it bottled up."
She wasn't a saint; on the contrary, she had many flaws.
For instance, for the sake of survival, she would agree to the system's suggestions to find different powerful beastmen to have a Pairing Ceremony and bear Cubs to earn enough points.
But she didn't want to wrong Xin Feng. If she did anything poorly, she could correct her behavior and attitude.
Xin Feng had originally felt a bit stifled and uncomfortable, but after hearing her words, he felt completely relieved.
"Okay, I'll tell you everything."
His gentle voice made Bai Wanwan believe he really wasn't angry anymore, so she happily started talking to him about other things.
"By the way, I also saw Qiu Rong in Wandering Beast City."
"Qiu Rong? What was he doing in Wandering Beast City?"
Bai Wanwan didn't dare to narcissistically say that Qiu Rong went there entirely for her, but he did indeed plan to rescue her.
She then recounted the events to him.
Zhu Xiu followed from a distance, watching the Little Female talk to her Beast Husband with a beaming face, wondering where she got so much to say, talking non-stop.
Through observation, he also saw that the partner he had found was different from other Females.
She was a Sacred Female, yet she lacked a haughty attitude and interacted with her Beast Husband very naturally and harmoniously.
This kind of interaction... actually made a trace of envy grow within him.
Xin Feng shielded Bai Wanwan as they moved through the wind and snow; she could hardly feel the bitter cold outside.
As the sky gradually darkened in the evening, Bai Wanwan felt a bit tired and asked lazily while lying on Xin Feng's back, "Is it still far?"
"Almost there. We'll be there once we cross the mountain ahead." Xin Feng looked back at her. "Hold on tight, don't fall. That Cave is remote and not easily found by Wandering Beasts. Staying there temporarily to avoid the cold is our best choice."
As Bai Wanwan listened to him, she looked up ahead; the mountain in front was still quite far away.
Just as she was about to look away, Bai Wanwan suddenly saw something on the Snowy Ground ahead.
"Xin Feng, look, what's that?"
Xin Feng turned his head to the side. A leopard was lying several hundred meters away from them.
"It should be a beastman."
As he spoke, the leopard seemed to sense movement and struggled to lift its head to look their way.
"He seems to be injured..."
As soon as Bai Wanwan finished speaking, Zhu Xiu behind them changed direction and approached the Leopard Beastman.
Bai Wanwan also patted Xin Feng's neck. "Let's go take a look too."
Xin Feng nodded and carried her in a turn, following closely behind Zhu Xiu to approach the Leopard Beastman.
"Host, Host..."
The system, which hadn't spoken for a long time, suddenly piped up.
"What is it?" Bai Wanwan answered with her consciousness.
"The Leopard Beastman ahead has a strong Innate Ability. Host, take note; you can bear a litter of Cubs for him."
So it was another reminder that this was a candidate for bearing offspring.
During the dialogue, they had already reached the Leopard Beastman's side.
He seemed to be at his last gasp, with many wounds on his body and covered in blood.
Not only was his own fur stained red, but even the nearby Snowy Ground was dyed a deep crimson.
The light in his eyes was almost fading, yet he still forced himself to stare intently at the approaching Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng, as if ready to give them a final blow at any moment.
Looking at him, Bai Wanwan thought of her own poor Cub...
If Qiu Rong hadn't picked up the Tiger Cub, she probably wouldn't have had a chance to see the Tiger Cub again.
Now she didn't know if Qiu Rong was still in Wandering Beast City; she would have to find a way to contact Qiu Rong later and get the Tiger Cub back.
While her thoughts were drifting, Zhu Xiu slid his long tail and approached the Leopard Beastman.
After circling halfway around him, Zhu Xiu stopped again.
Just as Bai Wanwan thought he was going to question the Leopard Beastman, Zhu Xiu suddenly raised his long tail and slammed it fiercely toward the Leopard Beastman on the ground...
