72: Chapter 72 Feeling a Little Guilty

Bai Wanwan saw that although he was clearly resistant to the fire, he kept a stiff face and didn't let it show at all.

"If you still can't adapt, just sit to the side."

Everything can be done step by step; there's no need to force someone to accept it all at once.

She didn't force him, but after Zhu Xiu watched Xin Feng skillfully start a fire and burn wood, he remained silent for a while before approaching instead of backing away, following Xin Feng's steps to memorize and learn.

Bai Wanwan took out ingredients from the system, thinking that with an extra Male, she took out dozens of catties of meat.

While she was slicing, several Cubs ran to her feet, lively and jumping, smelling the scent of fresh meat and "wuwu"-ing excitedly.

Bai Wanwan cut the meat into small pieces, tossing one to each cub before continuing to slice.

The stone knife took a lot of effort; she wanted to exchange for a sharp knife in the system space, but then she looked at her remaining points.

She endured it, deciding to buy it after giving birth to the next litter.

After slowly cutting six or seven slices, her hands felt weak.

A hand reached out from the side and took the stone knife from her.

"Let me."

Bai Wanwan turned to look at Zhu Xiu, and seeing him imitating her way of cutting meat, she simply stood aside and let him take over.

"Wait, if you can cut it thinner, try to make it as thin as possible; it cooks faster and tastes better."

After all, Zhu Xiu was a Male with Innate Ability, so even the soft meat could be cut by him into very thin and neat slices.

"You're amazing, just cut it like that."

Zhu Xiu originally felt that cutting meat was no big deal, but the Little Female's praise made him even more serious, controlling his Innate Ability to cut every piece of meat into equal thickness.

The fire was lit, and the meat slices were ready.

Bai Wanwan prepared the dipping sauce and called the two Males to sit down. "I'm starving, let's eat something first."

During his time in the Cat Clan Tribe, Xin Feng had already skillfully mastered the art of grilling meat.

He picked up a piece of meat and placed it on the pot, waiting for it to slowly change color before quickly flipping it over.

Because the meat was thin, a piece could be grilled in dozens of seconds; he picked it up, dipped it in the sauce, and placed it in Bai Wanwan's bowl.

Bai Wanwan glanced at Zhu Xiu beside her; he hadn't moved at all, just staring at Xin Feng's movements.

So she took the meat she had just grilled herself, dipped it in sauce, and fed it to him. "Open your mouth."

Zhu Xiu frowned, staring at the discolored meat in front of him.

To beastmen, this looked like spoiled or rotten food.

"It's delicious, try it," Bai Wanwan urged him to open his mouth.

Her eyes were sparkling; even though Zhu Xiu felt resistance in his heart, he unconsciously opened his mouth and took what was fed to him.

Having prepared himself mentally, the meat juices suddenly spread across his tongue, and a flavor he had never experienced before filled his mouth.

He tried chewing it, and it was unexpectedly delicious.

Bai Wanwan watched his expression and saw that he didn't dislike it—he even seemed a bit pleasantly surprised. She then smiled and withdrew her chopsticks. "Good, right? When I have more points in the future... ahem, when there's a chance in the future, I'll make all kinds of delicious food for you."

After speaking, she turned her head and saw Xin Feng silently grilling meat with his head down, and in just this short while, several slices had already piled up in her bowl.

She also picked up a piece of raw meat, grilled it, dipped it in sauce, and fed it to Xin Feng. "Open your mouth."

Seeing the meat brought to his lips, a smile appeared at the corners of Xin Feng's mouth, and he immediately opened his mouth to take it.

Zhu Xiu had been watching from the side, and then he imitated Xin Feng's actions, as if competing with him, continuously grilling meat for her.

"I can't finish it all, you guys eat some yourselves."

Bai Wanwan took her bowl piled high with meat and simply turned away.

These two seemed to be competing; once Bai Wanwan turned around with her bowl, they looked up at each other.

Zhu Xiu looked at the Male before him; he was Wan Wan's first Beast Husband, so he must be special in Wan Wan's heart.

From his observations just now, not only did he take good care of Wan Wan in daily life, but he also knew how to pick the right moments to steal Wan Wan's attention.

The two Males' gazes met in the air, and Zhu Xiu suddenly gave Xin Feng a small smile.

Xin Feng actually felt a lot of pressure; the Male Wan Wan brought back had a stronger Talent than his own and was quietly learning how he took care of Wan Wan.

He knew very well that Wan Wan would have many Beast Husbands in the future, and he hoped they would all be good to her.

But... looking at the Male in front of him, he suddenly felt a bit afraid. What if Wan Wan liked him more than himself one day?

It wasn't that Bai Wanwan didn't notice the tension between the two Males, but she thought it might just be because everyone wasn't used to their newly formed family yet.

Once the meal was finished, Xin Feng took the initiative to step aside. "Wan Wan, let Zhu Xiu accompany you to rest well tonight; I'll keep watch."

Bai Wanwan glanced at Zhu Xiu. At this moment, should she speak up or just play dead?

Seeing Bai Wanwan's eyes darting around, Zhu Xiu gave a soft huff. "No need. You stay with her tonight; tomorrow it's my turn."

Xin Feng was a bit surprised; Males would usually compete for their Female's attention at home.

Zhu Xiu had only just become a member of this family, and he didn't want to make things difficult for Wan Wan, which was why he made the offer.

After saying this, Zhu Xiu transformed into his Beast Form and slithered to the mouth of the Cave, coiling his entire body there to completely block out the wind and snow.

Bai Wanwan had been with Zhu Xiu for the past few days, while she hadn't seen Xin Feng for a long time.

Taking advantage of the fact that Zhu Xiu wasn't looking back, she tugged at Xin Feng's hand. "You stay with me today; I have so much to tell you."

During the time Bai Wanwan was away, there wasn't a day that Xin Feng didn't worry.

He also had a lot he wanted to say to her, wanting to hold her and lounge in the nest just like before.

Life in the wild was inconvenient, but knowing she loved cleanliness, Xin Feng used a stone basin to scoop up a basin of snow from outside for her to wash with.

Once she was clean, Bai Wanwan took off her leather skirt and crawled into the warm down comforter, rolling around comfortably.

After Xin Feng finished tidying up and lifted the quilt to lie down, Bai Wanwan burrowed into his arms like a loach.

"Xin Feng, did you miss me?" She looked up at him with a beaming smile.

"Mm," he tightened his arms, pulling her close against him. "I'm glad you're back."

If she hadn't come back, he might have disregarded the consequences and tried to take her back by force.

Bai Wanwan reached up to stroke his lapel. "I want to go see the Super Tribe. Once the snow stops, let's go together."

"Alright, I'll go wherever you go."

If it weren't for Wan Wan, he might have perished under the claws of Wandering Beastmen like the other Males of the Cat Clan Tribe.

In this lifetime, wherever Wan Wan is, he will be.

"Why are you so good!" Bai Wanwan sighed in his arms. After hesitating for a moment, she finally said, "Xin Feng, there's something else I haven't told you."

Xin Feng's eyes were gentle, as if as long as she was by his side, nothing else mattered.

Bai Wanwan's lips parted and closed; the words were on the tip of her tongue, but she just couldn't say them.

Xin Feng sensed something was wrong, and his expression gradually became a bit serious. "Wan Wan, as long as you're not driving me away, I don't mind anything else."

When he said that, she felt even more guilty!
