Chapter 421: A Powerful Aura

Chapter 421: Chapter 421: A Powerful Aura

Ah Man’s Beast Husbands lay on the ground, on the brink of death. No one had paid them any attention.

Since Zhu Xiu and the other males couldn’t attack the cubs, they had focused the full force of their attacks on Ah Man’s Beast Husbands after learning who they were.

They had all been beaten half to death.

Chou Rong ignored Ah Man, his gaze sweeping over her Beast Husbands. "From this day forward, Ah Man and her family are forever forbidden from setting foot in the Tiger Clan’s territory."

"You don’t deserve to be Clan Leader!" Ah Man’s most favored Beast Husband suddenly lunged, his eyes bloodshot. "To protect some female, you’re abandoning beastmen of your own clan."

Before he could finish his sentence, Chou Rong had a tiger claw pressed to his throat. A single swipe was all it would take to make him bleed out on the spot.

"Say one more word," Chou Rong’s voice was ice-cold, "and I’ll punish you for treason against the clan."

The entire area fell deathly silent. The sound of breathing was suddenly crisp and clear.

Ah Man finally broke down, screaming hysterically as she was dragged away. "You’ll all get what’s coming to you! That foreign female will be the death of the Tiger Clan sooner or later!"

Chou Rong’s gaze swept over the crowd. "Do you all think I’m doing this just to protect my female?"

"No... Clan Leader. You’re upholding the tribe’s justice. Ah Man’s Beast Husbands attacked your cubs first. They were the ones in the wrong."

All the beastmen were intimidated by Chou Rong’s swift and decisive actions. No one dared to stick their neck out now and risk being punished too.

Bai Wanwan walked to Chou Rong’s side and gently took his hand.

Chou Rong looked down at her, the ice in his eyes slowly melting away.

Xin Feng also walked over and nodded to Chou Rong in thanks. "Thank you for today."

Chou Rong nodded.

Before, he had only wanted to reclaim what belonged to his Father Beast, but now he knew he needed to secure his position as Clan Leader.

Only then could he protect Wanwan and their children and keep them safe.

Zhu Xiu retracted his long tail and shifted back to his human form. "But some beastmen will surely use what you did today against you. Be careful."

The position of Clan Leader of a Super Tribe... Countless beastmen coveted it, just waiting for him to make a mistake so they could tear him down.

"It’s fine. At least for now, they can’t touch me."

Bai Wanwan listened in silence. ’It seems only absolute power can keep our family safe,’ she thought.

A glint appeared in her eyes. ’I have to raise my Beast Husbands’ Talent Power to Red Rank as soon as possible.’

Bai Wanwan stood before the newly built treehouse, sunlight dappling her face as it filtered through the leaves.

Yin Ze was holding the Phoenix chick, which had just hatched three days ago. The little creature’s fluffy, golden down shimmered in the sun as it let out a tender "CHIRP CHIRP" from time to time.

"It’s finally finished." Bai Wanwan took a deep breath. The air was filled with the clean scent of fresh wood.

The main house was built against a massive, thick tree, its two stories spacious and grand. The three treehouses nestled in the giant tree were reserved for her and the children to relax and play in.

"The nursery is in here." Xin Feng pushed open a wooden door carved with patterns of various small beasts.

The center of the room was covered with a thick beast-hide mat, surrounded by several exquisitely crafted little nests.

The Little Phoenix wriggled in Yin Ze’s palm, curiously sizing up its new home.

At that moment, Xin Feng offered a small saucer of honeyed water, and the little creature immediately began to peck at it happily.

"The bathroom is over here," Yan Lie said, proudly showing off his masterpiece.

It was a large tub built from smooth obsidian, with wisps of steam rising from the warm spring water filling it. "I diverted a hot spring to run underground, so you can soak anytime."

Bai Wanwan gave him a big thumbs-up without hesitation. "Awesome! I love it."

Yan Lie immediately beamed with joy.

Jin Yi, who was standing beside him, said in a low voice, "Your room is upstairs. Do you want to go see it?"

Normally, beastmen were used to living on the ground floor, but Bai Wanwan had insisted. She wanted the second floor, which also had a spacious balcony.

Waking up every morning to a view of lush green mountains and clear blue water would make her feel that life was blissful and serene.

"Okay, let’s go have a look." She took Jin Yi’s hand, and they turned to leave the bathing room and head upstairs.

The other Beast Husbands were still busy moving things in.

For the moment, only Yan Lie and Jin Yi were with Bai Wanwan.

Yan Lie turned and saw his female leaving with Jin Yi. He started to follow, but Xin Feng called out from behind him, "Yan Lie, come give me a hand."

Yan Lie glanced at Bai Wanwan and Jin Yi, who were already heading upstairs, and reluctantly went to help.

Pushing open the wooden door, the first thing she saw was a large, comfortable bed.

The ground beside the bed was covered with a thick, snow-white beast hide. The bed itself was something she had redeemed from her System Space.

A nearly three-meter-wide bed, with silk bedding...

And her room even had its own private washroom.

’Finally, I’m about to live a comfortable and convenient life on this primitive Original Beast World Continent.’

She lingered on the balcony, unable to tear herself away. As far as the eye could see, there were lush, majestic, primeval forests.

Just as she was reflecting on her own insignificance in the face of such grandeur, a searing hot embrace enveloped her from behind.

The scent was familiar, and Bai Wanwan simply tilted her head back to rest against his chest.

"I love our new home so much. Do you like it?"

She turned her head to look at Jin Yi’s handsome face, which possessed a natural, noble air.

Jin Yi’s gaze, however, wasn’t on the scenery at all; he was focused solely on her.

"Yes, I love it."

’As long as Wanwan loves it, I love it too.’

Bai Wanwan’s heart filled with joy, and she tilted her head up to give him a peck on the lips.

But Jin Yi wrapped his arms around her waist, refusing to let her pull away as he deepened the kiss...

When they reappeared, Bai Wanwan did her best to act normal, but her slightly swollen lips gave her away.

The other Beast Husbands’ gazes flickered over her lips before landing on Jin Yi’s smiling face...

All the Beast Husbands’ minds started stirring. They hadn’t ’christened’ the new house yet.

"Ahem... I see the new house is built really well. How about we go back, pack our things, and move in over the next couple of days?"

Their intense stares were making Bai Wanwan’s skin crawl, so she quickly changed the subject.

"Alright, whatever you say, Wanwan." Xin Feng watched her with a gentle gaze.

"Then let’s pack up and move over as soon as we can. It’s so much more spacious and comfortable here."

The joy of seeing their new home had yet to fade, but when they returned to the tribe’s center, they discovered that quite a few Foreign Beastmen seemed to have arrived.

The once-bustling market was now silent. The beastmen had spontaneously parted to form a path, their gazes all fixed in the same direction with a sense of awe.

Bai Wanwan followed their gaze and saw a male she didn’t recognize standing there.

He stood as tall and straight as a pine tree, his brown hair glinting coldly in the sunlight.

Most striking of all were his light gray eyes. They seemed to hold the chill of a thousand-year-old glacier, yet they were so profound that it was impossible to look away.

Even though Bai Wanwan couldn’t perceive Talent Power, she could feel the powerful aura emanating from him.

Just as she was staring, lost in thought, the Little Phoenix in her arms suddenly startled awake. All of its golden down puffed up on end as it let out a sharp, wary "CHIRP!"

"Don’t look into his eyes," Chou Rong’s deep voice sounded beside her ear.

At almost the exact same moment, five tall figures moved to stand protectively in front of her.
