71: Chapter 71 He Can Do It Too

"Zhu Xiu, don't!"

Zhu Xiu's long tail came to a dead stop half a meter away from the Leopard Beastman.

He turned his head to look at Bai Wanwan. "If we leave him, and the Wandering Beastmen catch up, he might leak our whereabouts."

Bai Wanwan looked at the dying Leopard Beastman and still shook her head firmly. "Forget it, he's only got one breath left. There's no need."

If it weren't for her own missing Tiger Cub, Bai Wanwan might have been able to heartlessly watch Zhu Xiu kill him.

But now, she truly couldn't find it in her heart to do so.

Zhu Xiu looked down at the Leopard Beastman, who could barely keep his eyes open, and moved his long tail away.

"Then let's keep moving."

With that, he raised his long tail, scooped Bai Wanwan up from Xin Feng's back, and placed her onto his own beast body.

Xin Feng looked back, but Zhu Xiu had already slithered away with Bai Wanwan coiled in his tail.

Xin Feng placed the Basket on his back onto the ground. The Cubs inside were very excited to see him and chirped incessantly.

Xin Feng lowered his head, using his skull to nuzzle the several Cubs in the Basket.

Although these Cubs weren't of his bloodline, he had watched them be born and grow up slowly with his own eyes.

The several Cubs also treated him as their Beast Husband, letting out affectionate "wu-wu" sounds without stopping.

The Leopard Beastman made a small sound, catching Xin Feng's attention.

"Save... save me."

Xin Feng looked at him. "Your injuries are too heavy; I can't save you."

"Save... save..."

In the end, before leaving, Xin Feng injected a portion of his Innate Ability into the other's body.

"This is all I can help you with. If you encounter Wandering Beasts and you're still alive, I hope you won't tell them you saw us."

The Leopard Beastman nodded with difficulty. "Okay, I promise you."

Then, he felt the other's Innate Ability and immediately began to absorb it frantically.

Xin Feng only infused a small amount before stopping. He turned around, picked up the Basket containing The Cubs in his mouth, and followed after Zhu Xiu, who had already gone far ahead.

"Why aren't you talking?"

Bai Wanwan, who was looking back, was a bit surprised to suddenly hear Zhu Xiu's voice and didn't react immediately.

"Xin Feng hasn't caught up yet. I'm seeing what he's doing."

Zhu Xiu fell silent. Was she that concerned about that Beast Husband?

"I saw you talking to him the whole time just now." Zhu Xiu couldn't help but express his dissatisfaction.

If she didn't want him to swallow that wolf in one bite, the Little Female should treat them equally.

Bai Wanwan was stunned for a moment before she realized what Zhu Xiu meant by those words.

She saw that Xin Feng was already approaching and didn't make a point of turning back to look again.

She stretched out her arms to encircle his beast body. "Are you unhappy because I was talking to him just now?"

Feeling the Little Female's soft body pressed against him, his expression softened slightly, but he didn't deny her words.

"What did you say to him just now?"

Bai Wanwan had no choice but to tell him the story about Qiu Rong again.

He obviously knew all of this!

But Zhu Xiu didn't interrupt; he even encouraged her to keep talking.

Bai Wanwan was somewhat speechless. "I'll tell you something you don't know then... For example, I used to be a Female of the Cat Clan Tribe. You didn't know that before, they all said I was an Inferior Female, and no Male was willing to have a Pairing Ceremony with me!"

Zhu Xiu clearly didn't believe it. "An Inferior Female?"

"Yeah, it might have been an issue with the female stone. Before I reached adulthood, they all thought my fertility was very low. I actually didn't have a good life in the Tribe..."

Of course, these were all the original owner's experiences. The reason the original owner was so disliked and used a poisonous flower to drug Qiu Rong was also because of her low fertility. Seeing other Females with their Beast Husbands while she could only wait to be sent to the Female Cave.

The original owner's psychology was actually a bit twisted.

"It wasn't until I reached adulthood recently and tested my fertility again that I was found to be a Sacred Female. You have no idea how the Cat Clan Tribe's leader immediately changed his face and even wanted to arrange Beast Husbands for me. I deliberately went against his wishes and chose a Useless Beast myself, which was Xin Feng..."

Zhu Xiu listened very quietly. Through her words, he finally understood the Little Female's past.

Xin Feng caught up at some unknown point. Zhu Xiu turned his head to look at him. "You helped him?"

"Yes."

Xin Feng did not deny it.

The sky was slowly getting dark. Xin Feng led them around the peaks and finally stopped by the Cliff at the foot of the mountain.

The Silver Wolf ran to the side of the mountain and used his claws to scrape away the branches outside, revealing a two-meter-high Cave entrance.

"I've been living here during this time. No Wandering Beastmen have ever discovered it."

After Zhu Xiu placed Bai Wanwan down beside him, he slithered inside first.

He checked the situation inside the Cave and only felt relieved after confirming it was safe.

Bai Wanwan picked up The Cubs herself and followed behind Zhu Xiu into the Cave.

The cold wind blew in, making her shiver.

Fortunately, the Cave was very spacious, and deep inside, there was a place sheltered from the wind.

Xin Feng had already built a nest using branches and other materials.

Bai Wanwan simply took the Mattress out of the system space and placed it directly on top, then spread out a warm quilt and a down comforter.

Zhu Xiu watched from the side. Although he had seen her conjure things out of thin air in Wandering Beast City,

Seeing her conjure even larger and more numerous things now, Zhu Xiu was still very surprised.

Bai Wanwan turned around and saw the surprise in his eyes. She said to him with a beaming smile, "I'll tell you a secret."

Without waiting for Zhu Xiu's answer, Bai Wanwan took the initiative to speak. "The things from that Medium-sized Tribe's Caravan that Yin Da intercepted last time—almost all of them are here with me."

Zhu Xiu's crimson eyes froze. "Don't tell any beastman about this except for me and Xin Feng."

Her status as a Sacred Female was already enough to attract attention. If other beastmen knew she had such an ability, the entire continent would be shaken.

"Yeah, I won't tell anyone else. Are you hungry? I'll grill some meat for you."

As Bai Wanwan spoke, she took out a flint from the system space, along with some ingredients and utensils needed for grilling.

Just as she was about to strike the flint to light it, Xin Feng, who had transformed into human form, walked over and took the flint from her hand. "Let me."

He skillfully started a fire and then placed a pot on it.

The temperature in the Cave gradually rose.

Out of instinct, Zhu Xiu took a few steps back. "Fire?"

Xin Feng nodded. "Wan Wan knows how to use fire. She taught me."

Since Xin Feng had taken over the task, Bai Wanwan simply stood up, walked to Zhu Xiu's side, and took his arm.

"As long as fire is used correctly, it isn't scary. Moreover, it can make many delicious foods. I'll personally make some for you to taste in a bit."

Zhu Xiu was indeed very resistant to fire; to be more precise, every beastman was very fearful and resistant to it.

A single Mountain Fire could wipe out their entire race.

The horror of Mountain Fires had always been deeply etched in the ancestral memories of every beastman.

He looked at Xin Feng, who didn't seem to fear it at all.

Pressing his lips tight, Zhu Xiu took a step forward.

Since Xin Feng could overcome it, he could do it too!
