9: Chapter 9 Do you really like other people's beast husbands that much?

His ears turned slightly red. "I will go prepare some food for you."

After saying this, he hurried out.

Bai Wanwan did not notice his reaction and tasted a little salt.

Although it was coarse salt, it was truly salty, and she felt wonderful inside.

Not long after, Xin Feng walked in from outside, carrying a stone basin.

In the basin was a piece of fresh, tender meat, still stained with wet blood.

"Are you hungry? Here you go."

Bai Wanwan only took one look before immediately turning to the side and dry-heaving.

At the same time, she waved her hands. "I won't eat it, I won't eat it, ugh..."

Seeing this, Xin Feng immediately walked over and patted her back. "Are you feeling unwell?"

He was somewhat at a loss. He knew that Bai Wanwan was pregnant, but since this was his first time being a Beast Husband, he had absolutely no idea how to take care of a pregnant Female.

After dry-heaving a few times, Bai Wanwan said, "I'm fine. Take the raw meat away; I'm not eating that thing."

"Then what will you eat?"

Xin Feng was a bit surprised. All Females liked to eat the most tender parts of animals. Could the information he had heard be wrong?

"I'm fine with Dried meat, but that stuff isn't delicious either. Tomorrow, accompany me up the mountain to find something to eat."

Now that she had salt, she wanted to get more food to reward her stomach.

It had really suffered along with her.

"Alright."

He carried the raw meat to the side and covered it with a lid. Bai Wanwan turned her head to look at him and didn't see him eating anything.

"You aren't eating?"

"I've already eaten."

Just now, when he was trimming the meat for her, he had eaten all the leftover meat that didn't taste good.

"How much did you eat?"

Xin Feng hadn't expected her to ask that.

"I ate quite a lot."

"You're lying. You definitely only ate a little bit."

Bai Wanwan stood up, walked to him, and uncovered the basin he had just covered. "You eat all of this."

"No, this must be saved for you to eat."

He currently didn't have the strength to enter the deep mountains and could only hunt small animals. It wasn't easy to support himself and a Female. Fortunately, he was used to eating little and had stockpiled some Dried meat. Perhaps, combined with what the Tribe Leader had sent, it would be enough for the two of them to get through the short Snow Season.

If the Snow Season were to be extended, they would have to think of other ways.

Bai Wanwan said firmly, "No. You need to eat more to grow strong. When the time comes, I will need you to take care of me. If you don't keep your body healthy, how will you take care of me?"

Xin Feng said helplessly, "I'm not hungry. Taking care of you won't be a problem. We should still save the food."

"No need to save it. I am the only Sacred Female in the entire Tribe; the Tribe Leader wouldn't let me go hungry. Hurry, I'm watching you eat."

Xin Feng couldn't do anything about her. Finally, under her supervision, he ate that basin of meat.

Bai Wanwan was satisfied. Just then, sleepiness arrived, and she yawned.

Just as she was about to go out to fetch water to wash up, Xin Feng had already brought it in for her.

This Male was truly considerate.

Bai Wanwan smiled at him. "Thank you."

Then she took it, wrung out the beast skin herself, and gently wiped her face.

Xin Feng had gone to do other things, but his gaze was always unconsciously drawn to her.

Occasionally turning his head to look, he always felt that her movements looked more graceful than those of other Females.

It made him reluctant to look away.

Watching her happily washing up, Xin Feng thought to himself that his guess was correct; the Little Female was indeed very fond of cleanliness.

He had also never seen a Female who loved cleanliness so much.

Even on such a cold day, she still wanted to go to the river to wash.

Seeing her happy and comfortable appearance after washing up, he couldn't help but curve his lips into a smile.

When Bai Wanwan finished washing, Xin Feng had also prepared his nest, right in the cave next to her.

Bai Wanwan didn't intend to have anything happen with him right now, and Xin Feng didn't seem to have that intention either.

So, the two of them passed the night in peace.

Bai Wanwan relaxed and slept very soundly.

When she woke up, Xin Feng was no longer in the cave.

This person... he had promised to accompany her up the mountain, so why was he nowhere to be seen all morning?

It wasn't until noon, after she had finished gnawing on a piece of Dried meat, that Xin Feng appeared.

The beast skin on his body was torn, his arm was bloody, and his intact, handsome half-face was deathly pale.

Yet he was carrying prey, walking closer step by step.

"You went hunting?"

"Yes. I was afraid the Snow Season would be too long and you wouldn't have anything to eat."

"Are you stupid? I am a Sacred Female; would the Tribe Leader let me go hungry?"

"He wouldn't let you go hungry, but he would make you accept a Male you don't like."

That was true...

Some strange emotions stirred in Bai Wanwan's heart.

After Xin Feng threw the wild boar on the ground, Bai Wanwan had already walked over. Looking at the several gashes on his body, she sighed. "Next time, you are not allowed to sneak into the mountain. If you go, I want to go with you."

"The mountains are too dangerous; you shouldn't go."

Bai Wanwan glared at him. "I'm going. If we dig traps, it will be safer."

Xin Feng inexplicably didn't dare to say anything more.

Only then did Bai Wanwan speak: "Are you hungry? I've prepared something for you to eat."

She pulled Xin Feng to sit on a stone. In the middle was a large stone she had asked Xin Shan to find to serve as a table.

And at this moment, strips of transparent meat were laid out on the table.

"Are these bugs from the water?"

"They aren't bugs. These are delicious fish and shrimp!"

When she was making it just now, she tasted a bite, and she was so happy that tears flowed from the corners of her mouth.

The fish and shrimp originally had a sweet, fresh taste. After she cut them open with the stone knife and rubbed a little salt on them, they immediately awakened her taste buds that had been suffering for many days.

She used twigs as chopsticks to pick up the shrimp meat and held it to his mouth. "Open your mouth and try a bite."

Xin Feng was a bit dismissive. With such a sliver of meat, how much would he have to eat to be full?

But looking at the Female's sparkling eyes, he couldn't bear to refute her. Finally, he opened his mouth and bit into that sliver of meat.

After just chewing it gently twice, the meat seemed to melt in his mouth.

It seemed... more delicious than anything he had ever eaten.

Although Xin Feng didn't speak, Bai Wanwan still read his satisfaction with the food from his expression.

"It's delicious, right? Eat quickly."

Because there was one more person, Bai Wanwan cooked all the fish and shrimp that Xin Yu had caught for her a few days ago.

The two of them were half-full, but both felt very satisfied.

While gnawing on a fruit, Bai Wanwan said to Xin Feng, "Go eat some more meat. Once you're full, we'll rest for a while and then go up the mountain."

Under Bai Wanwan's urging, Xin Feng ate a few more pieces of meat, and only then did he go to fetch water.

However, Bai Wanwan waited for quite a while without seeing him return.

She stood up and walked to the entrance to look out.

Upon looking, good heavens, it was Hu Ya stirring up trouble again.

She was blocking Xin Feng firmly, muttering something to him, but Bai Wanwan could see the impatience on Xin Feng's face.

"Hu Ya, you hover around my Beast Husband every day. Don't you have a Beast Husband of your own?"

Hearing the voice, Hu Ya turned around. The grievance she had been showing toward Xin Feng instantly turned into anger that erupted toward her.

"Bai Wanwan, you cheated! What method did you use to make Xin Feng agree to be your Beast Husband? He doesn't like you at all. You are shameless!"

"Who said he doesn't like me? If he doesn't like me, does he like you? Then why didn't he agree to be your Beast Husband?"

Hu Ya was so angry she couldn't speak. After a long while, she finally found a point of attack.

"I heard it last night. There was absolutely no sound in your cave. You just had your Pairing Ceremony, and he didn't even touch you. How could he possibly like you?"
