Chapter 226: On His Thigh

"Don't be afraid, I'm right in front of you."

"OK, all right."

Jin Yi said nothing more and continued walking forward.

But not long after he left, Bai Wanwan called out again from behind him.

Jin Yi's voice came again, soothing Bai Wanwan's heart.

Bai Wanwan gave an embarrassed laugh, "I just wanted to make sure you were there."

After saying that, she continued waving her hands and exploring forward.

He even touched Jin Yi's back several times.

The hard muscles hit her palm and made it bounce back.

After this happened several times, when Bai Wanwan called "Jin Yi" again, a pair of hot and dry big hands held her hands.

"Let's go."

Now, Bai Wanwan's heart finally had a place to rely on, and she was no longer like a lonely boat on the vast ocean.

She knew that if she just pulled him, she could follow him out of this dark place.

Afterwards, both of them were silent, with only the palms transmitting each other's warmth, letting them know that they were not the only ones walking in the darkness, but there was another person silently accompanying them.

After a long time, Bai Wanwan's legs and feet were sore from walking, but the surrounding environment remained unchanged, pitch black, with no light at all.

"Jin Yi, how long will it take?"

Jin Yi hesitated for a moment. If he went alone, he might be able to arrive in half a day, but with a female, it would probably take at least two days.

Many places in the cave are too narrow, and it is not very convenient to carry a female on your back.

"It will probably take two days."

Two days...

Row.

She gritted her teeth and endured it.

She must be well and alive in her entirety.

Zhu Xiu, Xin Feng, Yan Lie, they will definitely be fine!
Bai Wanwan persisted and walked for a long distance. The road in the cave was particularly difficult to walk on.

The road surface was sometimes high and sometimes low, and it was uneven and bumpy. She twisted her foot several times.

But the sprain was not serious, just a slight strain, so she did not mention it and continued to walk forward at Jin Yi's pace.

In the end, she relied on her willpower to persevere, raising and lowering her legs mechanically.

The pain from the strain became more and more obvious.

Jin Yi noticed that her breathing was not right and stopped immediately, "What's wrong with you?"

Bai Wanwan was so tired that her mouth was dry. "No, what's the matter?"

In the darkness, the male's eyesight was much better than the female's. He could vaguely see the beautiful white eyebrows wrinkled.

She is lying to him!

"We still have a long way to go. If you have any questions, please let me know immediately..."

The pain in her ankle reminded Bai Wanwan that it was not appropriate to walk at a high intensity now.

She hesitated for a moment and said, "How about we stop and rest for a while?"

Jin Yi didn't hesitate. "Okay, if you feel uncomfortable, you can tell me directly. There's no need to rush. Let's walk slowly. Maybe by the time we get out, the beast tide will have completely subsided."

Bai Wanwan sat down against the wall, panting. "You're right. It's nothing serious. I just walked for too long and my foot is a little strained. Just wait for me to recover."

She was still tired and thirsty.

He took out some water and meat from the system space, kept some for himself, and handed the rest to Jin Yi, "Take advantage of this opportunity to rest and eat something to replenish your energy."

Bai Wanwan knew that Jin Yi ate very fast, so she also ate faster.

She knew in her heart that the male in front of her was being polite to her because of the tribe leader's orders.

But that doesn't mean he has to compromise with her all the time, so she doesn't want to be a burden or annoy him.

She must go back alive, and her beastly husbands will surely be waiting for her.

Jin Yi had just finished eating when he heard the female next to him say, "I'm done eating. I'm fine now. We can leave now."

Jin Yi frowned. A distance like that wouldn't be much for a male, but it would definitely exhaust a female. Besides, she had just mentioned a strained leg.

Even eating was deliberately speeded up.

Are you so afraid of causing trouble for him?
Jin Yi pursed his lips, his pair of golden eyes fixed on Bai Wanwan's face in the darkness.

"Although I'm not your beastly husband, I do have some patience for females."

Bai Wanwan paused as she was about to stand up.

She knew Jin Yi saw through her thoughts, so she didn't hide it. "I don't want to cause you more trouble."

Jin Yi looked at her and said, "You didn't bother me. You were able to kill the mountain cat yourself and provide me with food..."

He walked for so long and even injured his legs, but he didn't even complain of being tired.

Since he said so, Bai Wanwan sat back down, trying to relax her body, rest more and conserve her energy.

After resting for about half an hour, Bai Wanwan's legs were still sore, but she felt that her fatigue had dissipated a lot.

"Jin Yi, I'm ready."

Jin Yi sat quietly by the side waiting without urging him at all.

Bai Wanwan was filled with gratitude towards him.

She admitted that when she first heard the name of the Golden Lion Young Chief from Zhuo Ling, she thought that he was a sucker being taken advantage of by females.

Not very smart.

But now that they've been getting along, she's discovered that the real Jin Yi is two completely different males from the one she first heard from Zhuo Ling.

"Then let's go..."

As he spoke, Jin Yi bent his long legs and squatted in front of her.

Bai Wanwan was about to take a step when she kicked him on the back. She quickly reached out to touch him, but what she touched was his broad shoulders.

"Jin Yi?"

She was suspicious. Didn't he say he was leaving? Why was he still sitting there without moving?

"Your feet are not in good condition. Come up and I will carry you."

"I've rested for a while now, and I feel much better..."

Before he finished speaking, Jin Yi spoke again, "Come up. You can only feel at ease if you return to the tribe as soon as possible. When the beast tide recedes, I can also bring the males to help you find your beast husband..."

The warm body pressed against his back, and Jin Yi froze, knowing that his last words had worked.

He exerted a little strength and stood up from the ground.

The female was petite, so even in a narrow cave, he wouldn't feel crowded when carrying her on his back.

Without having to slow down to match the female's pace, Jin Yi's pace obviously became much faster.

Bai Wanwan was so sleepy from the shaking that she fell into a deep sleep.

When she woke up again, it was still dark.

When she regained consciousness, she remembered that she was on Jin Yi's back, but the place where her palm touched was hard.

"woke up?"

Jin Yi's figure was not far away from him.

Hearing the familiar voice, Bai Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief.

She supported herself with her arms and slowly sat up, about to ask.

Jin Yi took the initiative to speak: "Go further out and you will find the underground river mouth closest to the tribe. But the situation tonight is unclear, so I plan to rest for the night. We will return to the tribe early tomorrow morning."

It was getting late outside, and since he was with the female, there was no need to risk the wind.

"Okay, are you hungry? I'll give you the food."

Bai Wanwan handed the food to him, but she had no appetite to eat.

He turned over and closed his eyes again.

Jin Yi didn't expect that Bai Wanwan just said a few words to him and then turned over and fell asleep again.

Jin Yi had no desire to sleep at all. Even if he was sleepy, he couldn't sleep because he had to protect the safety of the female.

He leaned against the mountain wall, quietly listening to the female's soft breathing next to him, and sat there until dawn.

When the first rays of morning sun shone through, the female muttered something in the dim light, turned over, and placed her slender arms on his thighs...
