83: Chapter 83 Master of Balance

Bai Wanwan threw herself into his arms, rubbed against his shoulder, and said, "Seeing you both safe and sound, I'm really happy."

Xin Feng stroked her soft hair and said in a low voice, "This time, we owe it all to Zhu Xiu."

Bai Wanwan turned slightly to look at the King Cobra coiled there without any reaction.

She actually didn't know anything about Zhu Xiu. She guessed he was very powerful, but she hadn't imagined he could retreat unscathed with Xin Feng while surrounded by so many Wandering Beasts.

"Are The Cubs behaving? Have they been kicking you?"

His voice was like melting snow, instantly pulling back her attention.

She smiled and looked down, touching her protruding lower abdomen.

"They haven't been making much of a fuss, it's just that carrying them is more tiring than the last pregnancy."

"If you're tired, get some good rest. Now that Zhu Xiu and I are guarding you, you can rest assured and focus on your pregnancy."

As he spoke, he bent down and scooped her up horizontally into his arms.

The narrow Stone Bed was already covered with soft bedding. Xin Feng lifted the blanket and placed her on it.

After placing her down, he didn't let go immediately, his gaze traveling inch by inch across her face.

He then raised his hand to smooth out the hair by her cheek, "In the future, you cannot let other beastmen know you are a Sacred Female. The incident at Wandering Beast City must not happen again."

Bai Wanwan let him touch her face with his fingers, her smile somewhat lazy, "Alright, from now on, I'll bury this secret deep in my heart and won't tell anyone."

Her eyes were truly beautiful. Xin Feng couldn't resist, lowering his head to kiss her on the forehead.

Actually, he still wanted to hold her and talk to her more, but he wasn't quite used to being around other Males when he was with Wan Wan.

Zhu Xiu was absorbing an energy stone, but his attention was always on what was behind him.

Every word of the conversation between the Little Female and Xin Feng entered his ears.

She was clearly much more relaxed and charming in front of Xin Feng.

Realizing this, his possessiveness began to stir.

He wanted to throw Xin Feng out of the Stone House.

He used a great deal of self-control to suppress this impulse.

Bai Wanwan lay in Xin Feng's arms for a while, and her eyelids began to droop.

After Xin Feng noticed, he pulled his hand from behind her neck, "I'll go boil some water for you to wash up."

He slowly stood up and left.

Bai Wanwan yawned and originally wanted to turn over, but the moment she looked up, she locked eyes with a pair of scarlet eyes.

Her sleepiness was immediately frightened away.

And Zhu Xiu slowly turned his head back again, facing the outside of the door.

But Bai Wanwan no longer felt sleepy; that glance just now made her neck feel a bit cold.

Was Zhu Xiu unhappy?

Bai Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then lifted the blanket, wrapped herself in a beast skin skirt, and slowly walked over to Zhu Xiu.

She reached out to touch his cold Beast Form, "Zhu Xiu, are you going to stay here all night? Why don't you go sleep on the Stone Bed too?"

She didn't actually know if Zhu Xiu was angry, or what he was angry about.

But she felt she should act as a master of balancing relationships.

Since Zhu Xiu had also become one of her Beast Husbands, she couldn't neglect him too much.

Bai Wanwan's touch and questions indeed soothed Zhu Xiu's restless heart.

He slowly lowered his head, moving closer to Bai Wanwan.

Such a large King Cobra suddenly moved closer.

Bai Wanwan hesitated for a moment, but still reached out her hand, hugged his head, and pressed her face against it.

While gently stroking his head with her hand, she said in a low voice, "It's very cold here, you should go inside and rest too."

"No, we are outsider beasts, we must be careful. I will stand guard here, you can sleep in peace."

Also, Wan Wan was already pregnant with Cubs; he couldn't get close to her for the time being, as he was afraid he wouldn't be able to suppress his beastly nature and would hurt her.

"Then you and Xin Feng take turns. You stand guard tonight, and rest tomorrow night."

The red light in his eyes clearly faded. Bai Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief and continued to stroke his head, saying seemingly casually, "Zhu Xiu, if you encounter anything that makes you unhappy in the future, you can tell me. I don't want there to be any misunderstandings between us."

She definitely didn't want him to swallow her in a fit of rage.

Zhu Xiu's huge eyeballs rolled around; the initial menacing air was already gone.

"Alright."

Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and set her heart at ease, "I'm tired, I'm going to sleep now. Thank you for your hard work."

Bai Wanwan returned to the bedside and quietly took a peek at Zhu Xiu; the air pressure in the cave was clearly not as low as it had been just now.

It looked like the course of balancing relationships would be a required subject for her in the Beast World.

In this short time, Xin Feng had also finished boiling the water.

He brought the warm water to the bedside. Seeing Bai Wanwan was sleepy and tired, he didn't put the damp linen cloth in her hands, but sat by the bed and slowly wiped her down.

Bai Wanwan's mind had already started to become hazy; the last remaining thought was: He is so gentle!

Then she lost consciousness, only remembering that the whole night had been very warm, and she had slept very comfortably.

She slept until she woke up naturally, and the light from outside the Stone House spilled in.

Bai Wanwan rubbed her eyes and yawned. As soon as she looked up, she saw Xin Feng sitting on the Stone Stool chopping wood.

His posture was very upright; even when doing this kind of rough work, he exuded a sense of noble elegance.

She didn't get up immediately, but sat on the bed hugging the down comforter to admire the beautiful early morning scenery.

Xin Feng was gentle, refined, and elegant, like a jade tree in a garden of orchids.

The more she spent time with him, the easier it was to get lost in him.

She was really afraid of becoming the kind of love-struck fool she once scoffed at.

She shook her head to make herself more rational.

Just then, Xin Feng noticed she was awake and immediately put down the wood and stone knife in his hands.

He walked to the bedside and leaned in slightly, "The snow outside has started to melt, it's especially cold today, so just stay curled up in bed to avoid catching a cold."

Bai Wanwan felt it too. Just after waking up, as soon as the down comforter was lifted a little, the bone-chilling cold air crept into the quilt.

She shook her head, "I'd better get up."

If she hadn't been fully awake, she would have been very happy to continue lying there in a daze for half a day.

But after waking up, lying there was quite boring.

Afraid she might catch a cold, Xin Feng immediately took the beast skin skirt and helped her put it on.

Using his embrace to block the cold air for her.

Even so, Bai Wanwan was still shivering for a long time before she managed to get dressed and get up.

She immediately ran to the door to take a look.

The snow had indeed melted quite a bit, and outside, she could see some Males moving about in the Tribe.

"After the snow melts, how long until the Warm Season arrives?"

Xin Feng glanced at her belly, "When you give birth to The Cubs, the Warm Season will be here. These next few days will be especially cold, you cannot go outside."

Many Females would rush out to play after the snow melted, and end up catching a cold and losing their lives.

It was so cold outside, there was no one to chat with, and no entertainment, what would she go out for?

Anyway, the Warm Season would be here before long, just endure it and it would pass.

Bai Wanwan had been talking to him for a long time before she remembered Zhu Xiu.

She walked around the Stone House, "Why don't I see Zhu Xiu? Where did he go?"

Xin Feng set down the hot water for washing up, "Zhu Xiu and I discussed it. These few days I will stay home to take care of you, and he will go out to hunt..."

As Bai Wanwan listened to him speak, her eyes suddenly caught sight of something at the door.

"Xin Feng, look..."
