Chapter 693 Empathy
Deep within the sea of consciousness, all was silent.
"I will try my best to become her beastly husband and stay by her side."
The consciousness belonging to "Fu Jinshen" seemed to flow quietly without much ripple. After a long while, a very faint thought responded: "Hmm."
This calm reaction stirred up a complex mix of emotions in Jin Ying, a mixture of helplessness and a strange sense of resonance.
He sighed, the sigh landing heavily in the silent room.
“Fu Jinshen,” he murmured, the name that had become one with his memories, with a hint of inquiry and realization, “have you ever thought… that you haven’t completely disappeared yet, that even when I’m fully conscious and in control of this body, you still exist, that our memories and emotions are irreversibly intertwined… perhaps, sooner or later, you will no longer be you, and I will no longer be me. You will become a complete part of me, and I… will also bear all your past and obsessions.”
This realization, which had once made him feel rejected and confused, now strangely brought him a sense of fatalistic peace.
As this thought arose, those fragmented memories that originally belonged to Fu Jinshen, like a tidal wave, once again surged uncontrollably.
Not only the heart-wrenching separations of life and death, and the mundane details of daily life, but also... those intimate, whispered moments, those intimate nights together, and the murmurs uttered in moments of passion...
"husband……"
That call from memory, imprinted with tender affection that transcends time and space, is etched into Jin Ying's heart like the hottest lava, instantly scalding his soul.
In particular, some indescribable scenes seemed to appear clearly before him; he even knew her favorite positions and her alluring appearance when aroused.
Jin Ying felt her cheeks burning uncontrollably, turning crimson, and even her ears felt hot.
That was not just Fu Jinshen's fluttering heart, but also his Jinying's.
A strange, yet seemingly etched-in-the-bone longing, like a vine, grew wildly from the depths of his heart, spreading and tightly binding him.
That longing is a male's possessiveness toward a female he desires, mixed with a deep-seated yearning after being assimilated.
At this moment, the boundaries become blurred.
He seemed to have truly become that man named Fu Jinshen, who had loved her for many years, transcending time and space, and finally touched her presence again.
That long-suppressed emotion, mixed with Jin Ying's own instinct to be attracted to her, formed an unprecedented torrent that almost devoured him.
He realized with absolute certainty: he wanted her!
He embraced her and kissed her like a true, deeply loving beastly husband, protecting her firmly under his wings, making up for all the time they had missed, whether it belonged to Fu Jinshen or to his Jinying.
He slowly raised his hand, which had been tightly clenched, and gently stroked it over his heart.
There seemed to still linger the cool sensation of her applying the ointment.
His eyes gradually became deep and resolute.

Time passed slowly as the males gradually recovered. The defensive fortifications around the tribe, which had been destroyed by the false beast god and his beast army, were repaired and reinforced at a visible speed under the command of Zhu Xiu, Qiu Rong, and others, and with the concerted efforts of many beastmen, even becoming stronger than before.
The patrol team remained vigilant, but the suffocating tension in the air had gradually dissipated, replaced by a sense of cohesion after surviving a disaster and a feeling of security in rebuilding their homes.
The rain was getting heavier and the weather was getting colder.
Females are not as physically strong as males, and they are easily susceptible to catching a cold during the damp and cold rainy season and the upcoming snow season, so they stay in their houses and begin to stay indoors.
Because of this, they were unaware that their tribe had once been surrounded by a terrifying false beast god and beast army, and had gone through a life-or-death battle. They had been living in a relatively peaceful atmosphere ever since.
The rain outside seemed to have intensified, pounding against the roof and window frames.
Bai Wanwan was sitting by the fire pit, watching Xin Feng patiently teach a young leopard cub to identify poisonous plants. A peaceful and serene atmosphere filled the room.
Suddenly, hurried footsteps came from outside the door, accompanied by Yin Mei's slightly anxious call: "Wanwan, Wanwan, are you home?"
The curtain was suddenly flung open, and Yin Mei rushed in, her clothes soaked and cold from the rain.
She didn't even bother to wipe the water droplets from her face before her gaze was fixed urgently on Bai Wanwan. She took a few steps to her side, looked her up and down with concern, grabbed her arm, and said quickly and urgently, "I just heard from my beastman husband that the tribe encountered such a big crisis a few days ago! How are you? Are you injured? Were you frightened?"
As she spoke, she pulled Bai Wanwan around in a circle, carefully checking if she was unharmed. Her genuine concern warmed Bai Wanwan's heart.
Bai Wanwan quickly grasped her cold hand and patted it reassuringly: "Don't worry, Sister Yinmei, I'm fine. Look, I'm alright. The situation was a bit critical at the time, but everyone pulled through, and the males are all safe."
Hearing her confirm it herself, Yin Mei finally breathed a long sigh of relief, her tense shoulders relaxed, and a look of lingering fear appeared on her face: "That's good, that's good! It's truly the Beast God's blessing! I was so scared when I heard the news. Such a big thing, and I didn't know anything about it. I was just staying at home safely."
She felt a mix of self-reproach and relief.
Bai Wanwan turned around and grabbed a towel to wipe the water droplets off her, then told her to warm herself by the fire.
"It's good news that you're all alright." Yin Mei sat down by the fire pit, took a sip of the hot soup that Bai Wanwan handed her, and her body gradually warmed up.
The two naturally started chatting about their recent situations.
Bai Wanwan thought of Shuanghua and said, "There's been a lot going on at home these past few days. I was planning to visit you and Aunt Shuang when I have some free time. I wonder how Aunt Shuang is doing. The weather is getting colder and colder, and she's all alone..."
Before she could finish speaking, Yin Mei interrupted her with a mysterious and gossipy smile: "Oh, you don't need to worry about that. Aunt Shuang officially got her mate a few days ago! Now she has two strong males taking good care of her, so you can rest assured."
"You've become a couple?" Bai Wanwan's face showed surprise and joy upon hearing this. "Such a wonderful thing, and I didn't even know!"
Yin Mei smiled and leaned closer, lowering her voice with a hint of intimate sharing of a secret: "Of course you didn't know! Aunt Shuang didn't tell anyone about this relationship. It was only because I live close to her and occasionally saw those two men going in and out of her house, acting so intimately, that I guessed it. Before coming to see you today, I specifically asked Aunt Shuang to confirm, and hey, it really is!"
Just then, Jiaoyuan suddenly came out of the house. "Wanwan, what are you talking about?"
