Chapter 122: Want to Bear His Cubs

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: Want to Bear His Cubs

"Hm?"

"It’s that male who helped us before. He wants to see you."

After Yan Lie recovered from the thorn flower poison, he had been waiting outside since early morning, trying to see Bai Wanwan when her two Beast Husbands were away.

But that Snake Beastman was clearly wary of him and no longer left Wanwan home alone.

He just wanted to see Wanwan in private and have a proper talk with her.

"Yan Lie?"

Bai Wanwan turned, placed the sweet potatoes she’d bought from the system on the cutting board, and said while peeling them, "Then tell him I have nothing to say to him. He should hurry back home and stop looking for me."

Shi Hua paused for a moment. "But he... he seems to really want to see you."

Bai Wanwan sighed. "I can’t give him what he wants. A clean break is better for him."

"Alright... I’ll go tell him now. He’s still waiting to see you!"

"Yes, go on."

After Shi Hua left, Bai Wanwan focused on slicing the sweet potatoes. The sun had been good lately, so she could slice some to dry as snacks.

She didn’t leave the vicinity of her home all day. She was either busy around the house or sitting with Xin Feng, keeping the cubs company. It was a very pleasant day.

"It’s getting dark. I’ll take the cubs back to the den."

Xin Feng stood up to gather the cubs. Bai Wanwan turned her head and saw a familiar figure in the distance.

He was standing by a stone wall, not hiding at all, just standing there in plain sight.

It wasn’t just Bai Wanwan who saw him; Xin Feng must have noticed as well.

But Bai Wanwan didn’t let her gaze linger. ’We don’t have a deep connection. If I’m ruthless and cut off his hopes, he’ll be able to move on sooner and go back to where he belongs.’

She stood up as well. "It’s getting cold. I’m going back inside."

Xin Feng glanced at her but didn’t say anything more.

"Host, Host, you’ve rested long enough this time. If you don’t get pregnant again, a life countdown will begin, and you’ll start losing Points. Moreover, if you go a long time without getting pregnant, the number of Points deducted will increase."

’It really is an emotionless child-bearing system. How long have I been resting? And it’s already rushing me to have more kids.’

"Alright, alright, I know."

The system’s voice put her in a difficult position.

What Zhu Xiu had told her last time was indeed a very practical problem.

His condition was unstable; he couldn’t take good care of the cubs.

But she had transmigrated here and was bound to the child-bearing system; having children was basically her career now.

Xin Feng already had a litter of cubs. If she had to have more, she still wanted to have them for Zhu Xiu.

Zhu Xiu returned after dark, dragging his prey.

A strong scent of blood clung to him.

Bai Wanwan was about to go to him when he tossed the prey aside and stopped her from getting closer. "I’m covered in animal blood. I’ll go wash up first."

"Then hurry back. I’ll wait for you to eat."

After Zhu Xiu strode away, Bai Wanwan went to the cave entrance to inspect the prey.

With the warm season approaching, the males were all hunting diligently, and every household’s food supply was becoming plentiful.

"I remember we’re running low on salt blocks."

’I can exchange Points for them in my System Space, but I need to save Points right now. The less I use, the better.’

"Don’t worry. I’ll go trade with the Beastmen from the Black Dog Tribe tomorrow. They’re sure to have plenty of salt blocks."

Xin Feng was frying strips of meat for her, while Bai Wanwan gathered the partially dried sweet potato strips she had put out in the afternoon into a stone basin.

Only after she had gathered and put everything away did Zhu Xiu walk back into the house.

Because their home had a solar-powered lamp that Bai Wanwan had redeemed, it didn’t affect their vision.

"You sit and rest for a bit. I’ll go get the food."

Bai Wanwan turned, walked over to Xin Feng, and tilted her head to ask, "Is it done frying?"

"Almost. Go sit down."

They were all used to eating cooked food now, so there was a large basin of fried meat on the table.

Before Bai Wanwan could even reach for any, her two males had already placed strips of meat into her bowl.

She accepted with a beaming smile.

After placing some meat in Bai Wanwan’s bowl, Xin Feng said, "Zhu Xiu, I asked around the tribe. It seems the Beastmen of the Black Dog Tribe don’t know about Energy Stones."

Zhu Xiu’s situation was special. Xin Feng already knew he needed the Energy Stone and hoped he would recover quickly, so they could take care of Wanwan together.

"That’s not surprising. Energy Stones are rare to begin with. Any Beastman who knows of their existence would want to keep them for himself, not tell others about them."

For High Rank Beastmen, absorbing an Energy Stone was the only way to advance to the next rank.

But without a special method or a fortunate opportunity, it was impossible to absorb an Energy Stone.

Bai Wanwan’s expression turned serious. "Then we’ll wait until your condition is more stable. We can leave this place and ask around at other large tribes."

’I should have a backup plan,’ Bai Wanwan thought. ’If Energy Stones can solve the problem without me spending Points, that would be for the best.’

’Otherwise, I’ll have to work hard on having a third child, or even more.’

’Besides, the Beast World Continent is fraught with danger and lacks resources. If I have to save up all my Points to remove Zhu Xiu’s Dark Curse, how long will I have to live so miserably?’

’If there’s another way to solve the problem, that would obviously be better.’

The two males continued to talk about Energy Stones for a long time. After all, they were the only two males in this family, and both were indispensable.

While the two males were chatting, Bai Wanwan coaxed the cubs to sleep. After washing up, she slipped into Zhu Xiu’s room.

’Tonight, I have to find a way to convince Zhu Xiu.’

She wasn’t some inexperienced rookie who only knew theory anymore, but when she saw Zhu Xiu’s figure walk in from outside, she still felt a little nervous.

Zhu Xiu knew Wanwan was in his bed the moment he walked into the room.

The usual coldness in his eyes dissipated a great deal.

’I knew Xin Feng held a special place in her heart, so when she wanted to be close with him that day, my jealousy got the better of me, and I insisted on keeping her by my side.’

’Her taking the initiative to come here today finally makes me feel that I am also a Beast Husband she values.’

He slowly walked to the bedside and looked down at her.

Bai Wanwan had been a little nervous, but feeling the male right beside her, her heart gradually calmed down.

"Why aren’t you getting in?"

"Mm, right away."

Zhu Xiu slowly took off his beast hide, lifted the blanket, and lay down.

The space under the blanket was limited. Their skin touched, and the scorching heat of his body quickly transferred to her.

But to Bai Wanwan’s surprise, he just lay there. A good while passed, and he still hadn’t made a move.

She took the initiative to hold his hand and turned over to look at him.

In the darkness, she could only make out his general silhouette, but even so, he was breathtakingly handsome.

As the female’s soft, fragrant body pressed against him, Zhu Xiu had to use almost all his strength to suppress the fire igniting within him.

’I didn’t expect his self-control to be so strong,’ Bai Wanwan thought. ’He’s not moving at all.’

’If it were Xin Feng, I would only need to be the slightest bit proactive, and that gentle, handsome male would turn into a ravenous wolf.’

’But this King Cobra in front of me is completely unruffled.’

"Are you asleep?"

Zhu Xiu kept his eyes closed, but her sweet scent and soft voice were all-pervasive, stirring his restless nerves.
