81: Chapter 81 The Beast Husband Comes to the Door

Bai Wanwan had actually considered this issue. If there were too many Cubs, their Father Beasts would need to share some responsibility, which made her happy rather than upset.

It wasn't like she would never see them again; she could always visit The Cubs when she missed them.

But Qiu Rong was different; he had his own mission to complete and couldn't personally raise The Cubs.

Therefore, she couldn't agree to his request.

Qiu Rong’s sword-like eyebrows knitted together. “You don't want to give them to me?”

She had become pregnant with these Cubs without Qiu Rong's consent.

And now, she wouldn't even let The Cubs' Father Beast take them away.

Bai Wanwan immediately opened her mouth to explain, “No, that’s not it. If your surroundings were safe, I absolutely wouldn't stop you from taking them, but I also have the right to visitation. Since your surroundings are unsafe, and you plan to hand them over to others for upbringing, why not let them stay with me? They are my biological Cubs. Do you think I would mistreat them?”

Qiu Rong was uncertain. His Mother’s attitude toward different Cubs varied drastically.

And Bai Wanwan’s past actions had left a deep impression on him.

He pursed his tight lips, and his suspicious gaze had already given Bai Wanwan the answer.

Fine...

What had happened between her and Qiu Rong was clear; she truly lacked the leverage to earn his trust.

“I understand your mistrust. You can consider this carefully. If you leave The Cubs with me, I will definitely fulfill a Mother’s responsibility and take good care of them. But if you still feel you must take them away, then as their Mother, I have one demand: you must guarantee their safety.”

Their gazes met across the space, and neither spoke for a moment.

It wasn't until Aunt Lu’s voice came from inside, “Qiu Rong, come here. Aunt Lu has something to tell you.”

Qiu Rong finally withdrew his gaze from Bai Wanwan and turned toward the Stone House.

Once Qiu Rong’s figure disappeared through the doorway, the System’s voice sounded in her mind.

“Host, Host...”

“What is it?” Bai Wanwan fiddled with her beast skin skirt, feeling distracted.

If Qiu Rong insisted on taking The Cubs, she wouldn't be able to stop him.

But her heart truly couldn't bear to let them go.

“Host, haven't you ever considered making him your Beast Husband? His Talent still has a lot of room for improvement. If he advances further, you can bear him another litter of Cubs. The second litter will definitely have higher Talents than these current Cubs.”

Bai Wanwan burst out laughing. “You really dare to think that! I’ll be thanking the heavens if he doesn’t break my neck after learning the truth. Look at him; does he show any intention of becoming my Beast Husband?”

Qiu Rong was different from other Males. Even if she actively tried to seduce him, success wasn't guaranteed.

On the other side, Aunt Lu grabbed Qiu Rong, her face full of worry. “I heard everything you were just saying. You’re taking The Cubs away?”

“Yes, I have to go back, and I probably won't be visiting often in the future.”

Aunt Lu looked distressed. She stared at him for a long time before speaking again, “Tell Aunt Lu, what exactly is going on between you and Wan Wan? You haven't had a Pairing Ceremony, right?”

Qiu Rong hadn't wanted to say too much to worry her, but he didn't expect her to have overheard.

“Yes, I am not her Beast Husband.”

Aunt Lu opened her mouth. “But she already bore you Cubs! Qiu Rong, listen to Aunt Lu, don't go back. Live a good life with Wan Wan. Aunt Lu can see that Wan Wan is a good Female. She is very good to you and The Cubs.”

Qiu Rong fell silent. In the past, his Mother had also been very good to his Father Beast, but later, the Beast Husbands around her grew numerous, so many that she completely forgot about his Father Beast.

His Father Beast was beaten and injured by her other Beast Husbands while trying to see her, and she never came to look even when he took his last breath.

Almost every Female he had encountered was fickle, merely enjoying the goodness shown by the Males until they found a new Beast Husband, at which point they would neglect the former one.

Almost all Females were like this.

Therefore, Qiu Rong decided early on that he would never enter a Pairing Ceremony.

He had been framed and severely injured, and the only reason he held on to his last breath was to one day return and seek revenge against them!

“Aunt Lu, she has Beast Husbands. I will not have a Pairing Ceremony with her.”

Bai Wanwan was a Sacred Female; the Males around her would certainly become more numerous and stronger in the future.

If he became her Beast Husband, he would follow the same path as his Father Beast.

Aunt Lu grew anxious, pulling him to persuade him. “You are a Tiger Beast, why are you as stubborn as an ox? Wan Wan’s fertility is excellent, she is beautiful and gentle. If you don't take the chance to become her Beast Husband while she has already borne you Cubs, you’ll regret it later when the opportunity is gone. What will you do then!”

Qiu Rong responded almost without hesitation, “There will never be such a day.”

The voices inside were deliberately lowered, and Bai Wanwan couldn't hear them clearly at all.

She wasn't interested in eavesdropping either.

She just kept getting up and walking to the doorway to look outside repeatedly.

The snowstorm had lessened considerably. She wondered how Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng were doing?

She was anxious, but she couldn't offer any help.

She hoped that without her being a burden, even if they couldn't defeat Yin Da, they could at least escape.

When she looked out the doorway for the fifth time, footsteps sounded behind her.

Bai Wanwan turned around and saw Qiu Rong walking toward her before he stood beside her.

“Tonight or tomorrow, your Beast Husbands should find their way here.”

His words did little to soothe Bai Wanwan’s unease, and she responded vaguely.

“Bai Wanwan...”

Qiu Rong’s voice pulled her gaze back from outside.

“Yes, what is it?”

Had he made a decision?

Qiu Rong’s dark eyes locked onto her face. “I need to take a few of The Cubs.”

Bai Wanwan had already considered this answer. Qiu Rong had gone to great lengths, even risking his life to sneak into the Wandering Beast City. Saving her was merely incidental; his primary goal was to take some of The Cubs.

Naturally, he wouldn't be easily swayed by a couple of her words.

“Are you really decided? Can you guarantee their safety?”

“As long as I am alive, I will risk my life to protect them. If a time comes when I cannot guarantee their safety, I will send them to your side in advance. I hope that at that time, you can keep your word and not mistreat them.”

Bai Wanwan took a breath. “Is there really no room for negotiation?”

“None. You will have many Cubs in the future, and I only have these. If you agree, everything you did before will be wiped clean.”

Did that mean if she didn't agree, Qiu Rong would settle accounts with her over the original owner using the poisonous flower to knock him out?

Bai Wanwan felt immense reluctance. “Then can I come visit them? Also, if you run into danger, how will you know where I am? I don't even know where I might end up going.”

“I have a way to know. If my situation is safe, you can come see them.”

The two of them didn't argue; they simply negotiated the custody of The Cubs.

Because The Cubs were leaving her soon, Bai Wanwan spent the entire afternoon staying by their side, holding them and refusing to let go.

It wasn't until dark that Qiu Rong suddenly stood up and walked to the door, pulling it open.

Standing outside the door were two tall and handsome Males.
