The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 689 Have you thought it through?

He unconsciously tightened his arms around the cub, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but turn up, forming an incredibly tender and satisfied curve.

The cubs seemed to sense the kindness and affection emanating from him, snuggling against him and making comfortable purring sounds.

While Jiaoyin was building rapport with the children, Yanlie was already carrying over the largest and most fragrant piece of roasted leg meat.

He squeezed next to Bai Wanwan, sat down close to her, and held the meat to her lips, his tone intimate and boastful: "Wanwan, try it, this piece is roasted very well."

As he spoke, as if that wasn't enough, he stretched out his strong arms and wrapped them around her waist, pulling her closer to him. His tall body was like a warm wall, trying to drive away the chill of the rainy season.

He was still muttering, "Lean against me, stay warm, don't catch a cold."

Bai Wanwan was already used to his undisguised clinginess. She smiled helplessly yet indulgently, took a small bite of meat from his hand, chewed it carefully, and nodded in praise: "Mmm, it's delicious."

Seeing this, the other males also sprang into action.

Zhu Xiu silently pushed a bowl of fragrant bone broth in front of her; Qiu Rong carefully picked out the fattest, boneless belly meat from the grilled fish, placed it on a clean leaf, and handed it to her; Hua Han smiled and handed her a few bright red berries that he had just washed; Xin Feng placed a cup of perfectly warm fruit and flower tea beside her.

In an instant, Bai Wanwan was surrounded by her beast husbands and cubs, enjoying their meticulous care and attention.

The flickering firelight illuminated faces filled with concern and love, and the aroma of food mingled with the warmth of home, filling the entire house.

The thrills, tension, and exhaustion of the past few days seem to have been dispelled and healed by this warm and sweet atmosphere.

Holding the two leopard cubs in her arms, Jiao Yin looked at Bai Wanwan, who was surrounded by love, and felt an unprecedented sense of peace and belonging.

He knew that it would take time to integrate into this big family, but at least he had taken the most important step, and he was looking forward to every day in the future.

By the time everyone finished eating, it was already quite late.

Bai Wanwan had become lazy, leaning limply against the chieftain's chest on her right.

The males seemed to still be chatting, but she was too sleepy to keep her eyes open and drifted off to sleep...

In her half-awake state, Bai Wanwan seemed to hear the rain outside the window gradually intensifying. In her dream, she saw a thrilling battle, images of her father beast and Jinying lying seriously injured, Xinfeng's gentle kiss, and... Jinying's eyes filled with complex emotions.

She wanted to wake up, but was trapped in a chaotic and terrifying dream.

"Wanwan..."

It seemed like someone was calling her, but she still couldn't wake up.

Then, a warm embrace enveloped her, slowly dispelling the recurring nightmares...

After sleeping soundly through the night, I felt much more refreshed when I woke up in the morning.

She stretched lazily; she was all alone in the room.

I threw off the covers, got dressed, and walked to the spacious balcony.

Looking out at the tribe shrouded in thick fog, the rain had temporarily stopped, but the air was still filled with a damp chill.

She had barely stood still when she heard the sound of the door behind her being gently pushed open.

She knew that only her beastly husbands would come in at this time, so she didn't turn around.

The footsteps approached steadily, and a thick, soft animal skin cloak, still warm from her body, gently fell onto her shoulders, enveloping her slender body and protecting her from the morning chill.

Bai Wanwan raised her hand to adjust her cloak, a warm smile unconsciously spreading across her lips. She turned to thank the person who had come. However, her smile froze almost imperceptibly for a moment when she saw who was behind her.

It is Jiaoyin.

She wasn't displeased, but subconsciously she hadn't expected it to be Jiaoyin, so the smile on her face momentarily became unnatural.

But this subtle change, when observed by Jiaoyin who had been paying close attention to her reaction, felt as if she had been pricked by a needle, her heart suddenly clenching and a dense, tingling pain spreading through her.

He thought... he thought that Wanwan keeping him meant she accepted him.

But her smile froze instantly, like a bucket of cold water, making him realize with absolute clarity that his place in her heart could never compare to those men who had long been by her side and shared life and death with her.

They have missed out on too much time together.

A wave of immense disappointment and sorrow washed over him, making his throat tighten. The words he wanted to say stuck in his throat, and in the end, he could only utter a slightly uneasy whisper: "I...I came to see you."

Bai Wanwan looked at his eyes, which dimmed instantly, and immediately realized that he had misunderstood.

It wasn't that she disliked it, it was just unexpected.

Having decided to keep him, she had no intention of treating him differently.

She looked into his blue eyes, which seemed to hold the entire deep sea, and said calmly, "Okay, then stand next to me."

Jiaoyin's heart, which had just sunk to the bottom, was suddenly lifted up again by her simple words, and she was instantly enveloped in a warm feeling of something lost and found.

The gloom in his eyes quickly dissipated, and the corners of his mouth involuntarily turned up again, outlining a handsome and gentle curve.

He stepped forward as instructed and stood beside her on the balcony, gazing together at the hazy view in the distance.

Just then, a cool breeze carrying moisture blew by, and Jiaoyin subconsciously turned to the side, using his tall body to silently shield her from the wind.

"It's alright, I'm not cold because I'm wearing an animal skin." Bai Wanwan shook her head, feeling the animal skin on her shoulders and the warmth of his body, which carried the scent of a cool sea breeze.

After hesitating for a moment, Jiaoyin mustered her courage, raised her arm, and tentatively put her arm around her shoulder, pulling her closer to her.

The female's soft body obediently snuggled closer, and even through the animal hide, one could feel her reassuring warmth and her unique fragrance.

Jiaoyin's heart began to pound wildly, as if she were holding a restless rabbit.

She didn't push him away, nor did she show any discomfort; she simply nestled quietly against him.

This silent acquiescence gave him tremendous encouragement.

"Are you really sure?" Bai Wanwan's voice was soft, drifting into his ears on the breeze.

They had only spent a short time together, and being held so intimately by him at this moment, she still felt a lingering, faint unease.

But she knew that since she had accepted him as her beastly husband, she should try her best to treat him equally.

Jiaoyin suppressed the pounding of his heart and looked down at her.

The female's small, delicate face was right in front of me, no longer a blurry outline in my memory or a phantom in my midnight dreams, but a real and warm sight that I could touch.
