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

Chapter 701 He will definitely become Wanwan's beast husband

The moment those words were uttered, the air seemed to freeze.

Even Jin Ying himself was taken aback.

He couldn't believe that the hoarse and urgent voice came from himself.

He lost his usual restraint and became more like a wild beast trapped in a cage of souls, squeezing out a bloody roar from the depths of his throat with all his might.

It contained a mixture of long-standing and deep-seated repression, a hint of desperate courage, and a naked sense of unwillingness and longing that even he himself had not anticipated.

The only sound inside the cave was the soft crackling of burning firewood, which made his words all the clearer and more alarming.

Bai Wanwan's steps froze on the spot.

He could clearly see the lines of her slender back tense up instantly.

The cave was so silent that only the sound of each other's disordered breathing could be heard.

The burning gaze of the Shadow of Embers was almost branding her back; the emotions it contained were too intense and too dangerous.

Finally, Bai Wanwan took a very slow breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in her heart.

She didn't turn around, her voice deliberately kept steady, yet carrying an undeniable distance, clearly drawing a line with each word: "You shouldn't have gotten involved. I'll pretend I never heard that."

Without further hesitation, she lifted the heavy animal-skin curtain and resolutely walked out.

A cool breeze rushed in instantly, dispersing the strange, almost imperceptible atmosphere that had been lingering in the room, and completely blocking out the scorching, persistent gaze from behind that seemed to devour her.

The dull thud of the curtain falling was like a final dividing line, firmly sealing his surging emotions within the suffocatingly warm space she had just left.

Outside the door, the clatter of mahjong tiles and the low murmurs of the men made his loneliness and remembrance all the more vivid.

Deep within his consciousness, after a heavy silence, Fu Jinshen's bitter thoughts rippled outwards like a stone thrown into a deep pool, spreading out in circles of helplessness:
"You see... she won't accept it. She won't even stay for a second longer, or ask a single question."

Her resolute decision overlapped with the memory of the girl who always depended on him and gave him a bright smile. His heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, and the pain was so intense that he could hardly breathe.

He took a deep breath, the breath carrying a chilling despair within his mind.

However, the part of Ember's consciousness, after a brief period of silence, reignited.

"Yes, it's not that easy." Ember Shadow's consciousness acknowledged this, but his voice held no discouragement; instead, it carried a tenacious determination, like a seed breaking through the soil. "But I won't give up!"

“I’m still recovering from my injury, and there’s still time. As long as I’m here, I still have a chance.”

Bound by Fu Jinshen's feelings for Bai Wanwan, his heart was now unwavering.

"I will definitely become Wanwan's beast husband!"

Fu Jinshen did not respond; he envied Jinying for having such courage.

Beneath that despairing ashes, a faint glimmer of hope, one that even it dared not admit, was quietly ignited by this reckless spark.

If only he wouldn't disappear, and could stay here forever.

＊＊＊＊＊＊
The continuous sound of rain was like an endless background noise, and the cubs trapped inside the house had excess energy, chasing and playing louder and louder.

Bai Wanwan had to act as a kindergarten teacher, leading them in play and calming them down.

She clapped her hands, attracting the attention of all the little troublemakers.

"Alright, kids, quiet down." Her voice was gentle yet held a hint of maternal authority. "How about Mommy teaches you to draw today?"

She has a wide variety of painting materials in her system store, which can be redeemed with just a few points.

She squeezed out paint and began to apply it to the snow-white paper. Soon, a meadow and blooming flowers appeared on the canvas. The little ones were immediately drawn to the vibrant colors and gathered around curiously.

"Want to be drawn?" Bai Wanwan smiled and offered her seat.

The babies swarmed over; they were so young and full of curiosity about the world.

Each person was given a pen and a piece of paper and began to write with great curiosity.

The room immediately fell silent, with only the sound of the children quietly drawing.

Among them, Phoenix Baby was extremely talented. She used light blue paint to outline a winding river and leaping fish on the stone slab. The lines were smooth and the colors were vibrant. She received a generous kiss and praise from Bai Wanwan: "Our little girl painted so beautifully, it looks just like the real thing!"

She couldn't help but sigh that drawing really does require talent.

At a glance, most of the kids were scribbling nonsense, but two kids, on their first time using a paintbrush, were drawing quite well.

In the corner, an introverted leopard cub was looking at a blurry, mixed-color stain on its stone slab with worry.

He saw his older brothers and sisters receiving praise and kisses from their mother, and his little mouth pursed tightly, his round leopard eyes beginning to fill with tears.

He tried to draw his mother's face, but his hand wouldn't obey him; the lines were crooked and the colors were smeared everywhere.

The more anxious he became, the worse he drew, and the worse he drew, the more aggrieved he felt.

Finally, upon hearing Bai Wanwan praise her other brothers and sisters once again, he put down his paintbrush.

While no one was paying attention, like a small gray fur ball, she silently and quickly slipped into the innermost part of the room, into a dark corner piled with old animal hides, curled up, and began to sob softly and quietly.

He was afraid that his mother would only like his older siblings who were good at drawing, and not him who was clumsy.

Bai Wanwan didn't notice at first, until she counted the number of cubs and found that one was missing.

Her heart tightened, and she quickly searched around.

Yan Lie, with his keen hearing, gestured with his eyes to the dimly lit corner.

Bai Wanwan immediately went over and, sure enough, saw the little cub huddled in the shadows.

She called softly, "Little one, why are you hiding here?"

Hearing its mother's voice, the little leopard cub cried even more pitifully. It looked up with its big, teary eyes and choked out, "Mommy... I can't draw well... I... I'm stupid... Mommy doesn't like me anymore..."

At first, she had no experience as a mother, let alone giving birth to only small animals.

She kept them all like pets.

But gradually, as she spent more and more time with them, she came to understand that although these cubs were all in animal form, they were all her own children.

She reached out and hugged the warm little body tightly, gently wiping away his tears and snot with a handkerchief.

“Silly boy,” her voice was so gentle it could melt your heart, “How could Mommy not love you? You’re not good at drawing, but you always quietly share your food with your younger siblings. You’re a very good older brother.”

The little leopard cub stared at her with bright eyes, its face flushed.

I never expected that my mother knew all of this.

Feeling sweet inside, I nestled in my mother's arms, inhaling her sweet scent. All my grievances and fears vanished, replaced by pure happiness.

Bai Wanwan picked him up and weighed him in her arms. "Little chubby boy, Mommy can hardly carry you anymore."

The slightly introverted child was shy, but he really enjoyed being affectionate with his mother like this.
