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

Chapter 697 Check if I'm ready yet
Suppressing her emotions, she immediately instructed Hua Han, "Hua Han, thank you for your hard work. Quickly, carry Father Beast to his room. His wound got wet in the rain and needs immediate treatment, otherwise it will become infected and inflamed!"

“Okay.” Hua Han responded and, together with Jin Yi and Qiu Rong, carefully carried the unconscious Jiao Yuan into the inner room.

Bai Wanwan immediately went to prepare hot water, clean towels, and wound medicine.

The room was filled with the bitter smell of ointment.

Bai Wanwan focused intently on cleaning the rain-soaked wounds on Jiao Yuan's chest, carefully wiping them with a sterilized soft cloth before reapplying a thick layer of ointment.

Her movements were gentle and skillful, but her delicate and beautiful face was tinged with fatigue.

It's clear that she hasn't had a good rest during this time, taking care of and worrying about a room full of males.

Jin Ying sat quietly on the bed next to her, his eyes following her figure without blinking.

He could feel his heart beating steadily and powerfully in his chest as she approached.

Bai Wanwan finished bandaging Jiao Yuan and carefully tucked in the blanket before straightening up and turning her gaze to Jin Ying beside her.

His tone was both admonishing and concerned like a friend: "Your wound has just scabbed over and needs to rest. It's been raining a lot and the weather is cold lately, so you absolutely mustn't go out in the rain like Father Beast, understand? Otherwise, the wound could get infected and cause serious problems."

Jin Ying's gaze fell on her slightly flushed cheeks from being busy, and a ripple of emotion stirred within him.

He nodded, his voice low and submissive: "Mm."

He secretly hoped to stay here to recover from his injuries. Even though watching her being surrounded and pampered by other beastmen every day would bring him an indescribable bitterness, just being able to see her up close, hear her voice, and feel her presence would be a great comfort to him.

When he came back to this world, all he wanted was to see her a few more times.

Just then, Jiao Yuan on the bed let out a weak groan and slowly opened his eyes.

"Father, how are you feeling?" Bai Wanwan immediately bent down to ask.

Jiao Yuan's face was still pale, and his eyes were somewhat vacant, clearly not yet fully recovered from the huge blow.

The tender words he had heard outside Shuanghua Gate echoed in his mind, and his heart ached. But he said nothing, only shook his head, his voice hoarse: "Wanwan, I'm fine... I'm sorry to have worried you."

Looking at his forced composure, Bai Wanwan felt both heartache and anger, and her tone couldn't help but carry a hint of reproach: "Father, you can't be so careless about your body! This time you fainted, but what if your wounds worsen and you get a fever next time? If you rush into the rain like this again, I really won't care about you anymore, and you'll just have to suffer the pain yourself!"

Hearing the female cub's "threat," Jiao Yuan felt even more guilty and quickly promised, "Okay, okay, Father understands, and won't do it again. Until my injuries heal, Father will stay obediently in the house and won't go anywhere."

He tried to force a reassuring smile, but because of what had just happened, he couldn't be happy and looked somewhat bitter.

Ember Shadow watched and listened quietly from the side.

He could clearly feel Jiao Yuan's deep fatherly love for Bai Wanwan, and he understood how precious this hard-won father-daughter bond was for Wanwan, who had been an orphan in the modern world.

He watched as she displayed that natural, affectionate, and slightly childlike reproachful expression in front of Jiaoyuan, and felt both gratified that Wanwan could find fulfilling family affection here, and a deep sense of tenderness welled up within him.

He was absent from her past and failed to protect her. Now, he only wants to do everything in his power to safeguard her peace and happiness in the present and future.

Bai Wanwan wasn't unaware of Jin Ying's constant gaze upon her. She simply had to ignore it.

After giving Jiao Yuan her instructions, she didn't linger to avoid his gaze.

"Father beast, you all get some rest. I'll head out now."

"Okay, go and rest. Father Beast feels pretty good."

Looking at the female cub's pale face, Jiao Yuan felt a little guilty. How could he make the female cub worry because of his own affairs?

***

After a busy day, Bai Wanwan returned to her room and carefully washed herself with warm water to wash away her fatigue and the smell of medicine.

I had just changed into comfortable, dry pajamas and was drying my wet hair with a towel when I heard a very faint "click" from the door and deliberately light footsteps.

She paused, then sighed helplessly.

These past few days, because all the males in the house were injured, she issued a strict order forbidding them from sneaking into her room at night until they had recovered from their injuries.

Anyone with half a brain knows from that noise that some disobedient fellow must have sneaked in.

She put down the towel, opened the bathroom door, and sure enough, met a pair of captivating peach blossom eyes that still shimmered even in the dim light.

Who else could it be but Hua Han?
Before Bai Wanwan could even speak to send them away, Hua Han preemptively darted forward. Her fox-like eyes blinked, shimmering with watery light, revealing just the right amount of grievance. Her voice was soft and gentle, with a captivating allure.

"Wanwan...look, I really don't have a single injury. I could go out and hunt ten prey right now without any problem."

As he spoke, he deliberately and slowly pulled down the animal skin collar on one shoulder.

The movement was deliberately slow and seductive, as if it were displaying a rare treasure.

The smooth leather slid down her clean, firm skin, revealing her beautifully shaped collarbone and a strong, full chest.

The flickering light from the fire pit danced across his honey-colored skin, outlining the smooth, powerful contours of his muscles, which were indeed flawlessly smooth, without a single scratch.

His fingertips, as if by accident, gently brushed across his bare shoulders, slowly sliding down the lines of his arms, a few strands of red hair falling down, creating an alluring contrast with his honey-colored skin.

Those peach blossom eyes stared at her intently, as if they held a whirlpool that could suck one's soul in.

"See? Isn't that right?" His voice was low and breathy, like a feather gently scratching her heart. "Not only is it undamaged, it's even stronger than before... Wanwan, don't you want to... check it out yourself?"

He took a step closer, and the distance between them instantly shortened until she could clearly feel the cool yet ambiguous heat emanating from him, unlike that of other males.

He leaned down slightly, his warm breath brushing against her earlobe and neck, bringing a slight shiver.

"Wanwan, look, am I all better?" His fingertips tentatively touched her hand, then grasped it and pulled it towards his chest.
