Chapter 123: Surprisingly Unmoved

Chapter 123: Chapter 123: Surprisingly Unmoved

Bai Wanwan looked at his tightly closed eyes and pressed her lips together. ’Looks like I need to up the intensity!’

She reached out, caressing his chin, then traced down his Adam’s apple...

She deliberately caressed him back and forth, teasing him.

Suddenly, the male moved. A powerful hand seized her wrist.

"So you weren’t asleep after all?" she chuckled softly.

"Don’t move around."

His deep voice carried a metallic, gravelly quality that was very pleasant to hear.

Perhaps because Bai Wanwan already had ulterior motives, his voice stirred her so much that her heartstrings trembled. For the first time, she felt a powerful urge to pounce on him.

Her other hand slid over the muscles of his shoulder and gave his chest a light poke.

She deliberately leaned close to Zhu Xiu’s ear and spoke to him in a whisper.

"What’s wrong with moving around?"

As a virile, adult male, how could Zhu Xiu have ever encountered such tactics? His self-control was on the verge of shattering.

He suddenly flipped over, trapping her between his arms.

Bai Wanwan raised her arms to wrap them around his neck and asked in a coquettish voice, "Zhu Xiu, let me have your cubs. After they’re born, I’ll take care of them..."

Zhu Xiu’s lips suddenly cut off her next words.

Bai Wanwan’s eyes curved into crescents. She thought she had succeeded.

She relaxed, tilting her head back to respond to him eagerly.

Zhu Xiu seemed to have unleashed his inner beast. His kisses were fierce and savage, almost as if he wanted to crush her entirely.

But at the last moment, he stopped, panting heavily.

If there had been any light, one would have seen a film of moisture in Bai Wanwan’s eyes. She was still a bit dazed by Zhu Xiu’s sudden withdrawal.

After a good while, her head cleared, and she called out to him, "Zhu Xiu?"

Zhu Xiu sat sideways on the edge of the bed, not looking at her.

Bai Wanwan propped herself up on her arms and tilted her head to look at him. "What’s wrong?"

’Is he even a male?’

’Things were at this point, and he just suddenly hit the brakes.’

Then, something even more shocking happened.

He didn’t just hit the brakes; he got up, picked her up, and carried her to Xin Feng’s stone bed in the next room.

Xin Feng hadn’t been able to sleep either. His hearing was excellent, and he could hear the sounds coming from next door.

He told himself he had to learn to accept it. In the future, Wanwan would have more Beast Husbands than just Zhu Xiu.

But even as he tried to console himself, the knot of frustration in his heart wouldn’t immediately loosen.

So, he let the sounds drill into his ears, torturing himself, forcing himself to accept it.

Suddenly, the sounds changed. It seemed like something had happened.

He turned his head and looked out.

A moment later, Zhu Xiu strode toward his stone bed.

Wanwan was still in his arms.

Xin Feng threw off the animal hide and sat up, asking him, "What’s wrong?"

Zhu Xiu said nothing. He simply placed Wanwan into his arms and said in a hoarse voice, "Take care of Wanwan."

With that, he strode to the doorway, pulled open the door, and left.

With the sound of the door closing, the room fell silent, leaving only the soft snores of the cubs.

"Wanwan, what happened between you two?" Xin Feng withdrew his gaze and looked at the female in his arms.

Bai Wanwan was so exasperated she almost laughed. And he was asking her what happened.

"You should ask him."

The atmosphere had just been perfect, and Zhu Xiu’s possessiveness toward her had been intense. As a female, she had felt it loud and clear.

But he had somehow managed to calm down and push her away.

’I know he has his reasons, but I have my own difficulties, too.’

’My Life Value is about to start counting down. If I don’t get pregnant, I’ll have to use Points to buy more Life Value.’

’I like Zhu Xiu. If I have to have cubs, I’d rather have a litter with him.’

Xin Feng sighed and turned to lay her down flat on the bed.

"It’s getting late. You should get some sleep."

"Okay. I really am tired."

’Even though nothing actually happened, the excitement has left me pretty exhausted now that I’ve calmed down.’

She slipped under Xin Feng’s blanket. It had a faint, woody scent.

’Xin Feng must be the cleanest of all the males. He even has a light, pleasant fragrance.’

Bai Wanwan rolled over and hugged Xin Feng, who had just lain down.

"Xin Feng, you smell so good."

Xin Feng sighed and wrapped his arms tightly around her. "Wanwan, I’m a male too. If you still want to sleep, don’t provoke me."

’At this point, Bai Wanwan really didn’t want to cause any more trouble. Besides, for this pregnancy, she was planning on having snake cubs.’

’I’ll start something with him after I’m pregnant.’

She immediately shut her eyes and obediently went to sleep.

Hearing her steady breathing, Xin Feng felt a little disappointed.

’A few days ago, when the little female just got back, she was clearly giving me a look that said she wanted me.’

’But she’s been back for so many days, and he still hasn’t had a chance to be truly intimate with her.’

After Bai Wanwan fell asleep, Xin Feng still couldn’t.

But Bai Wanwan didn’t know this. She slept soundly, and by the time she woke up naturally, Xin Feng was gone.

’Thinking about how it was his turn to go up the mountain today, does that mean Zhu Xiu is home?’

"Host, the countdown starts tomorrow. You need to hurry up, or you’ll start losing Points."

"Alright, I get it! Can’t you see I’m trying?"

She threw back the blanket, got up, and casually slipped on a cotton robe before walking to the door to look outside.

Zhu Xiu was sitting in an open area not far away, butchering his kill. Several cubs were circling around him, occasionally gobbling up chunks of meat he threw to them.

Bai Wanwan immediately perked up. ’It’s great that he’s home!’

She scooped some water from the stone basin to wash herself, then took out several dresses she had exchanged for in the System Mall.

She chose a purple gauze dress that she thought was the prettiest.

While sneaking glances at the male outside, she braided her hair into a loose plait and wove a ribbon of gauze into it.

After adding the finishing touches, she looked at herself in the mirror with satisfaction.

’So pretty. Like a little fairy!’

She delightedly tore her eyes away from her reflection and turned to walk outside.

Bai Wanwan refused to believe her charms couldn’t conquer him!

The fire that Zhu Xiu had spent half the night soaking in cold water to suppress was instantly reignited the moment he looked up and saw the female.

A scarlet light danced in his eyes.

Bai Wanwan walked up behind him with a radiant smile, wrapped her arms around his neck, and pressed herself against his back. "You’ve been busy for so long. Won’t you come inside and rest?"

Zhu Xiu grabbed the fingers she was deliberately caressing his neck with, his grip tight.

"What’s wrong?" she asked, feigning innocence.

The words had barely left her mouth when Bai Wanwan cried out in surprise. Zhu Xiu grabbed her hand, hoisted her directly onto his shoulder, and strode toward the house.

A smile touched Bai Wanwan’s lips. ’See? How could all my theoretical knowledge fail to capture a single snake?’

Zhu Xiu strode into the room and placed her on the stone bed. Bai Wanwan shifted, deliberately striking a seductive pose.

She slowly raised her eyes, deliberately trying to entice him.

But as she lifted her eyelids, she saw an animal hide coming down over her head.

Only after the animal hide had completely covered her graceful figure and beautiful face did Zhu Xiu close his eyes, forcibly suppressing his desire.

Bai Wanwan threw off the animal hide and shot up into a sitting position, looking at Zhu Xiu in utter confusion. "No... Zhu Xiu, is there something wrong with your body?"

’I’ve already gone this far...’

’His self-control is so good it’s suspicious.’

’And his possessiveness is so strong, too.’

’I’ve used all my extensive theoretical knowledge, even got up at the crack of dawn and rummaged through all my things to make myself beautiful for him.’

’And he’s still completely unmoved.’
