Chapter 125: Chapter 125: Confession

"Yes, I’ll be leaving the Black Dog Tribe in the future. What about you? Want to come with me and see the world outside?"

"Me...? I can, too?"

Her first reaction wasn’t hesitation, but surprise that Sister Wanwan wanted to take her along.

Bai Wanwan smiled and nodded. "Why not? Just follow your heart. If you want to, you can leave with us."

"I want to!"

Shi Hua made her decision without hesitation. In all her days in the Black Dog Tribe, she hadn’t known a single moment of happiness.

A long, long time ago, she had also fantasized about leaving the Black Dog Tribe. Perhaps the outside world would make her a little happier.

But she didn’t have the courage to leave. She knew she was just an ordinary female, with no Talent Power and not even the ability to bear children.

If she left, she wouldn’t find happiness and joy; she would only become food for wild beasts.

Only after her swift reply did she remember she also had a Beast Husband.

If she were alone, she would have followed Bai Wanwan without a second thought.

"Sister, I want to go with you, but I have to go back and ask Mu Feng."

"Okay, you two should discuss it thoroughly. I’m in no hurry to leave, anyway."

"Shi Hua, what are you talking to her about? Get over here!"

They couldn’t do anything to Bai Wanwan, but they could isolate her.

But why would Bai Wanwan care? Even without Shi Hua, she would have gladly isolated herself from these females.

Bai Wanwan patted her shoulder. "Don’t force yourself to do things you don’t want to. Be brave and refuse."

Shi Hua’s heart filled with a strength she’d never felt before.

’That’s right. She wasn’t alone anymore. She had a Beast Husband, and she had Sister Wanwan.’

She turned her head to face Mu Zhi and Mu Shan, looking at the mockery on their faces.

Taking a deep breath, she yelled at them, "That’s your own business! You can do it yourselves! From now on, I won’t be helping you with anything ever again!"

"Shi Hua, you’ve gotten bold. Bai Wanwan won’t be around to back you up forever."

Shi Hua stood up straight and tall. "I’ll go wherever Sister goes."

She even looked proud. She had decided: she would stick with Sister Wanwan for life.

Mu Shan’s face was filled with rage, ready to explode, but a glance from Bai Wanwan’s smiling eyes made her swallow it back down.

"Then just get lost! The Black Dog Tribe doesn’t welcome you."

Bai Wanwan glanced at her, her voice as lazy as the afternoon sun. "I’ll leave when I feel like it. But if you annoy me, I could just stay in the Black Dog Tribe forever and keep you company for a lifetime. How does that sound?"

Mu Shan’s face turned livid with anger, but she didn’t dare to speak. She was genuinely afraid that Bai Wanwan would never leave.

The group of females, having failed to get the better of Bai Wanwan and Shi Hua, finally left, each carrying her own basket.

Before leaving, not daring to do anything to Bai Wanwan, they all shot vicious glares at Shi Hua.

"Glare back."

Shi Hua, who was used to passively accepting their malice, instinctively widened her eyes and glared back after hearing Bai Wanwan’s words.

She raised her eyebrows forcefully, making her eyes as wide as they could go, but there was no menace in her gaze at all.

Bai Wanwan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry at the sight.

’Oh well, transforming a pushover takes time.’

The two of them strolled around for a while longer. The lazy sun warmed their bodies, making them feel sleepy.

"Sister, if I leave the Black Dog Tribe with you, will I be a burden?"

’I can’t do anything...’

"A burden? If we’re talking about burdens, I’m the real burden here. Every single one of you has skills. I’m the only useless one."

Although Shi Hua was born with low fertility, she was incredibly strong and was an expert at looking after cubs and doing chores.

’In contrast, apart from my ’cheats,’ I can’t carry anything heavy. I’m delicate, weak, and easily knocked over. In an era like this, I’m the one who truly can’t live without a powerful male.’

’Otherwise, I’d be in trouble in minutes—either getting ganged up on by the females for my big mouth or being snatched and eaten by a wild beast.’

’Come to think of it, I really am useless.’

But she had one good thing going for her: a great attitude.

’Being a corporate drone in my last life was hard enough. There’s nothing wrong with being a useless person who’s loved and cared for.’

’It’s enough to give back what I can. There’s no need to compare myself to others in every little thing.’

"How could you be useless, Sister? You’re so amazing. I want to be just like you."

Bai Wanwan patted her arm. "Little Shi Hua, a female needs to have some ambition. You can be like anyone, so why would you want to be like me?"

"I just want to be like you, Sister. You’re the most capable, most beautiful, and very best female I’ve ever met."

Who could turn down a little fangirl who was always showering you with praise?

"Now that you put it that way, I’m starting to think I do have some personal charm after all."

Bai Wanwan chuckled, and although Shi Hua didn’t understand what she meant, she just giggled foolishly along with her.

"Shi Hua..."

As the two females were walking and chatting, Mu Feng strode toward them, carrying his prey.

"You got that much already?"

Mu Feng was tall and sturdy, and he seemed to carry the two beasts, weighing several hundred pounds, without any trouble.

"There’s more... I’m about to head back up the mountain."

’The two males in Bai Wanwan’s family are so strong that I don’t even have to hunt myself to get a large share of the prey. It’s much better than hunting on my own.’

The newly mated couple was in their honeymoon phase, exchanging glances so intense they seemed to spin silken threads between them.

Bai Wanwan clicked her tongue. "Tsk tsk," she said to Shi Hua. "You and Mu Feng head back. I’m going home, too."

Shi Hua turned, but Bai Wanwan had already turned and was walking toward Zhu Xiu.

Sensing her approach, Zhu Xiu put down the prey in his hands and looked up at her.

"Have you calmed down?" A faint trace of helplessness was hidden in Zhu Xiu’s eyes.

"No."

Despite her words, she met Zhu Xiu’s gaze without flinching. "I want to talk to you."

"Okay."

Zhu Xiu had been waiting for her to return, wanting to clear things up with her as well.

"I want to have a litter of cubs with you," Bai Wanwan said, getting straight to the point.

Hearing her words, a gentle look appeared in Zhu Xiu’s eyes. "Once the Dark Curse in my body is gone, we will have our own cubs."

"Yes, but you might not understand what I mean. I know you don’t want cubs right now because of your condition, but it’s also because of my condition that I *must* have a litter of cubs."

After much hesitation, she finally said it.

Otherwise, how could she possibly force herself on a powerful male like Zhu Xiu?

Obviously, she couldn’t.

"What did you say? What’s wrong?"

Ignoring the blood covering his hands, Zhu Xiu grabbed her wrist. "What’s wrong?"

"You know I have some abilities that other Holy Females don’t. But I have to pay a price for them. Every so often, I have to get pregnant with a litter of cubs."

"And if you don’t?" Zhu Xiu’s brow furrowed tightly.

Before she spoke, Bai Wanwan had actually been worried that he would be angry to learn she wanted to have cubs with him because of her condition.

But right now, his only concern was what was wrong with her body.

"If I don’t, my life will start a countdown. When it ends, I’ll have to leave you all forever."

The moment the words left her mouth, Zhu Xiu swept her up into his arms...
