Chapter 702 Peaceful years
Feeling his mother's warm embrace, the little leopard cub stretched out his short arms and hugged Bai Wanwan's neck tightly, happily burying his head in his mother's arms. "Mom, you will always be my best mom."

Bai Wanwan paused, realizing that there were too many cubs, and most of the time it was the beastmen who took care of them.

She hadn't expected the children to like and depend on her so much.

Bai Wanwan carried the soothed leopard cubs back to the "studio," praising each one in turn...

The other males watched this scene with softened eyes.

The rain outside was getting heavier and heavier, and Bai Wanwan thought it would probably snow in a few days.

After playing with the cubs for a while, I left them to be looked after by the beastmen.

She planned to go see the father beast.

Since she learned that Aunt Shuang had found a partner, she had never seen him smile again.

Accompanied by Hua Han, they went downstairs and lifted the curtain to enter the room.

Jiao Yuan sat alone by the window, gazing at the continuous rain. His expression was even more listless than when he had just recovered from his injury. Bai Wanwan knew in her heart that this was a mental illness.

She walked over and sat down next to him, deliberately trying to find some light topics to talk about.

“I remember during the rainy season, Shuanghua would always…” He began, his eyes momentarily softening and becoming dazed, but that glimmer of light quickly faded, replaced by deeper pain and loneliness, ultimately turning into an almost inaudible sigh, and he could no longer continue.

Seeing his expression, Bai Wanwan knew that his inner conflict was difficult to resolve.

But matters of the heart are not for outsiders to interfere with. As for how things will develop, we can only wait and see what Aunt Shuang thinks.

After chatting with him about the babies for a while, Jiao Yuan's complexion improved considerably.

Bai Wanwan then stood up again and looked at Jin Ying, who was sitting quietly to the side without making a sound to disturb them.

"Please sit down and rest for a while, I'll go make you some soup."

After Bai Wanwan left, Jiao Yuan turned to look at the young male beside him.

"If you like my female offspring, try your best to win her over. Don't end up like me, regretting it too late."

Jiaoyuan said this not only because he regretted his own experiences, but also because he admired Jinying, a male.

Hopefully, his wish will come true. With a male like him staying by his female's side to protect her, he will feel more at ease.

That was Jin Ying's plan, but through Fu Jinshen's memories, he knew he couldn't act rashly and had to patiently wait for the right opportunity.

In the kitchen, Bai Wanwan tied on a clean apron and redeemed many blood-nourishing medicinal herbs from the system shop.

After being thoroughly cleaned, it is placed in a huge stone pot along with large bones and some warming mushrooms, then sweet spring water is added and it is slowly simmered.

Smoke curls from the chimneys, and a rich aroma gradually fills the air, carrying the warmth of home.

When the soup was ready, the beastmen were gradually drawn over by the aroma.

"What are you doing? Let us help you." Zhu Xiu walked over and took the spoon from her hand, as if afraid she would get burned.

Bai Wanwan was burned twice. There was nothing she could do. After arriving in the Beast World, the Beast Husbands never let her do any work, and she found that her self-care ability was constantly declining.

If this continues, she really won't be able to leave them.

Hua Han couldn't dissuade her, so she stayed by her side to help.

When Zhu Xiu and Xin Feng came in, they helped her up, saying, "You've been working hard all day, and the soup is ready. Sit down and rest for a while, or the babies in your belly will get tired."

Zhu Xiu silently picked up the wooden bowl, filled the first bowl for her, blew on it to cool it down a bit, and then handed it to her.

Jiaoyin also walked in, and Bai Wanwan raised her hand to greet him, "You each drink a bowl first to replenish your energy."

Urged on by Bai Wanwan, even though the males couldn't stand the smell of the herbs, they still forced themselves to drink a large bowl of nourishing soup under her watchful gaze. "Take these to the father beasts..."

As she predicted, the weather turned cold in the following days, with temperatures plummeting and the continuous cold rain turning into falling snowflakes late one night.

The next morning, Bai Wanwan woke up in a strange stillness.

The room was much darker than usual, with only a hazy, whitish light seeping through the gaps in the curtains.

The air was filled with a bone-chilling cold, causing her to instinctively shrink closer to the source of warmth beside her.

A strong, powerful arm immediately closed in, pulling her even closer into its embrace.

The chieftain's deep, sleepy voice sounded above her head: "Awake?"

His chest was broad and warm, like a reliable bulwark, keeping out all the cold.

"Mmm..." Bai Wanwan responded lazily, her nose brushing against his chest muscles, savoring the warmth, not wanting to move a single finger.

She peered through the gap in his arm toward the window and could hear the faint sound of snowflakes falling.

"Snowing?"

"Yes, it rained all night, and it's all white outside now." Chief Rong lowered his head, his chin gently resting on the top of her head.

"Really?" She became more and more awake, but she stayed in bed and didn't want to move.

The chieftain noticed her craning her neck, chuckled softly, got up, and drew back the curtains.

In an instant, a world covered in silver and white came into view.

Snowflakes, like shattered clouds, fluttered and silently covered the distant mountains, nearby trees, and the entire courtyard, enveloping everything in pure, flawless white.

The world was completely silent, save for the tranquil dance of snowflakes.

Such a scene is rarely seen in the orderly, climate-controlled modern world.

Bai Wanwan was captivated by the beautiful scenery outside the window and gazed at it for a long time.

“In our world,” she said softly, as if afraid of disturbing the fairies outside the window, “there is a saying… when the first snow falls, you should be with the one you love most.”

As she spoke, she snuggled closer into the chieftain's warm embrace, inhaling the reassuring scent emanating from him, and murmured, "It's so good to have you all by my side in this life."

Her words were like a soft feather, gently brushing against the chieftain's heart.

He had even considered not forming a mate, but then he met the female in his arms.

He never imagined that he would be so devoted to a female, giving his heart to her without reservation.

He once thought that power, hunting, and protecting the tribe were the entire meaning of his life.

But now, holding this soft body in his arms, listening to her tender whispers, and looking at the peaceful snow scene outside the window, he felt his chest filled with an unprecedented, full and peaceful warmth.

He tightened his arms around her, rested his chin on the top of her head, and replied in a low and solemn voice, "Yes, I think so too... It's good this way."

No further words are needed; outside the window, the world is frozen in silent, snow-covered landscape, while inside, there is a tender warmth as they embrace each other.

This moment of tranquility is worth more than anything else in the world.

Bai Wanwan raised her head, looked at his handsome features, and was about to speak.

The door was suddenly pushed open, and a little lion cub with a messy mane rushed in like a small cannonball, frantically pounced on Bai Wan's legs.
