Chapter 197: Mating with a Holy Female

Chapter 197: Chapter 197: Mating with a Holy Female

She was the cubs’ Mother, but she was not his mate.

His gaze fell upon the few listless-looking cubs. He ordered the Beastman beside him.

"Find a reliable female to take care of the cubs."

After giving the order, he gestured to the Chong Clan Witch. "Clan Witch, thank you for making this trip. I’ll see you back."

The Clan Witch nodded. She already knew what he was going to say.

Her feelings were complicated. The Young Clan Leader had clearly returned without a female, yet he already had several energetic cubs.

The cubs’ Talents were very high, and they might even be able to break through again.

The night was deep, but the tribe was quiet.

On the wide street, only the sound of soft footsteps could be heard.

"Young Clan Leader, you can rest assured. I was not here today, nor did I see any cubs."

Chou Rong glanced at her sideways. He had just returned and trusted no one.

"As long as the Clan Witch remembers her words, I won’t have to do anything. But if I find out that word of this has spread from your mouth, I have ways to make you regret it."

The Clan Witch’s expression tightened. She looked at Chou Rong, who had grown so tall beside her.

’Just like his Father Beast,’ she thought. ’Not a male to be trifled with.’

"Fine. I’ll remember."

They walked the rest of the way in silence. By the time Chou Rong had escorted the Clan Witch back to the Witch Cave and started back to his own residence, the sky was already brightening.

Before he even got close, Chou Rong saw two males standing in front of his stone house.

"Did my Mother send you to find me?"

"Yes, Young Clan Leader. The Clan Leader and your Mother ask you to come see them."

’Sending people to find him so early in the morning...’

"I understand. Let’s go."

His expression remained unchanged as he followed the two males, turning to head toward his Mother’s residence.

When he arrived at his Mother’s home, he saw only her, sitting alone outside the stone cave.

Chou Rong’s Mother had a curvaceous figure. She was a rare Holy Female in the Super Tribe, highly revered.

Her beauty lay not just in her appearance, but in her innate noble bearing. Time seemed to have left no trace on her.

She wore a purple Jue Sha Skirt, the light fabric clinging to her form like flowing water.

At that moment, she was clutching a Beast Bone Necklace, her eyes filled with sorrow.

She didn’t even notice Chou Rong’s approach.

"Mother..."

Chou Rong came to a stop beside his Mother, his gaze also falling on the Beast Bone Necklace in her hand.

His eyes darkened. It was something his Father Beast had left behind.

Hearing Chou Rong’s voice, Chi Yu looked up.

This was the only child she’d had with the male she loved most, and she had almost lost him too.

She reached out, grabbed Chou Rong’s arm, and tucked away the sorrow in her eyes, a faint smile appearing on her face. "Mother was eager to have you come over because there is something I need to tell you."

She pulled Chou Rong down to sit on the stone stool beside her.

Her gentle eyes gazed at her son. "Mother has always hoped you would become the Clan Leader, carry on your Father Beast’s legacy, and lead the tribe to a more glorious future."

Chou Rong knew, of course. It was precisely because he and his Father Beast were the ones his Mother loved most that they had attracted a plot against their lives.

His Father Beast was already gone. He hadn’t told his Mother about the danger he had faced, only saying he had been attacked by another tribe while he was away.

First, he didn’t want his Mother to worry. Second, he still didn’t know which male was responsible for attacking him and his Father Beast. He needed his enemy to let down his guard so he could slowly draw him out.

"Mother, I will."

The smile on the Chi Yu Holy Female’s face grew even more gentle and loving. "The Phoenix Clan has produced an exceptionally beautiful Holy Female. Mother has invited her to visit, and she should arrive in a couple of days... Mother was thinking, I’d like you to form a union with her."

Chi Yu’s meaning was crystal clear. Chou Rong had been missing for several years; he needed to amass sufficient power to secure the position of Clan Leader.

Forming a union with the Holy Female from the Phoenix Tribe was the best way to do that.

Chou Rong’s brows furrowed. "Mother, I don’t want to form a union right now."

His cubs couldn’t be revealed yet. And although Bai Wanwan wasn’t his mate, it was impossible for him to form a union with another female at the moment.

Chi Yu was unaware of his thoughts and said with a beaming smile, "Don’t worry, I’ve seen that Little Phoenix. She’s incredibly beautiful. You’ll definitely like her when you see her. Feelings can be cultivated over time. It’s not too late to form a union after you’ve grown to like her."

Chou Rong had no interest in any Phoenix or Holy Female. The only thing he wanted to do now was find the male who had secretly harmed him and his Father Beast.

"Is there anything else, Mother?"

"No, Mother just wanted to talk to you about the little Holy Female from the Phoenix Clan..."

"If there’s nothing else, the tribe has many matters to attend to. I’ll come back to keep you company next time, Mother."

With that, Chou Rong stood up and turned to leave...

"Hey... why are you leaving again? Can’t you stay and keep Mother company for a little longer?"

Chi Yu wanted to keep him there, but Chou Rong’s strides were quick, and in the blink of an eye, he was gone.

********

Bai Wanwan slept until she woke naturally. She stretched comfortably, lazily opened her eyes, and was greeted by the sight of three males.

She jumped in fright.

"You... why are you all here?"

Not only were they all in the stone house, but they were also standing by her stone bed, staring at her with strange expressions.

Bai Wanwan thought back to last night. The image in her mind was still of Yan Lie and her lying with their necks entwined, his hot palm lingering on her body.

’And then... why couldn’t she remember what happened next?’

Just as she was feeling bewildered, Xin Feng’s gentle voice, laced with an almost imperceptible worry, spoke up. "Wanwan, do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"

Bai Wanwan was still wondering why she felt like she had amnesia. Xin Feng’s question brought her back to her senses. "No, I slept great. What about you guys?"

She smiled at her Beast Husbands, only to find their expressions were all rather grim.

No matter how dense Bai Wanwan could be, she could tell something was wrong now.

"Did something happen?"

After she asked, none of the males said a word.

Her delicate brows furrowed. Her gaze fell on Zhu Xiu, and she saw his dark eyes, deep and unblinking, fixed on her.

Her eyes then moved to Xin Feng’s face, where an emotion she couldn’t decipher flickered in his gentle eyes.

Only Yan Lie was the most obvious, his handsome, sharp features scrunched up in a knot.

"You’re all staring at me like this first thing in the morning but won’t tell me what happened. Are you trying to make me miserable on purpose?"

Yan Lie sat on the edge of the bed, took her hand in his, and said urgently, "We don’t want to make you miserable. You passed out last night. I couldn’t wake you no matter how much I called."

Bai Wanwan hadn’t yet grasped the severity of the situation. Hearing Yan Lie’s words, she felt a little embarrassed. "Ahem... I was probably just too tired and accidentally fell asleep."

’To fall asleep at a time like that... it was really a bit disrespectful to the male.’

Zhu Xiu, sitting on a nearby stone stool, spoke up. "It wasn’t falling asleep. We called the Clan Witch over afterward and tried all sorts of methods to wake you, but you didn’t stir."

Bai Wanwan’s gaze shifted from Yan Lie to Zhu Xiu, who was now speaking. "You called me, and I didn’t wake up?"

’Was I sleeping that soundly?’

Zhu Xiu grunted in affirmation, his eyes fixed on her. "That’s right. The Clan Witch said your Divine Soul is unstable. Wanwan... do you know what’s going on?"

’An unstable Divine Soul...’

’I’m a transmigrator. Could that be the reason?’

"Hold on a minute."

Under the watchful eyes of her Beast Husbands, Bai Wanwan began to call out to Hua Sheng with her mind.

"Hua Sheng, are you there?"

Bai Wanwan called out three full times before Hua Sheng’s voice finally appeared in her mind. "Host, did you call for me?"
