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

Chapter 707 Xin Feng, you've gone bad too.
The faint glimmer of hope that had quietly ignited in Jin Ying's eyes as she approached was completely and silently extinguished by her calm yet resolute reply.

His thick eyelashes drooped, casting a small shadow on his pale cheeks, concealing all his turbulent emotions.

Bai Wanwan was not entirely unaware of the situation.

She could feel the unusual gaze and silent protection that Ember Shadow gave her. These questions, asked under the guise of "friendship," were usually directed at her.

But upon careful reflection, she realized that there was no deep entanglement between her and Jin Ying involving "harm" and "forgiveness," and she simply thought he was asking casually.

Seeing him with his head down, silently drinking the soup that seemed to have lost its temperature, she didn't ask any more questions.

She softened her tone and gave him a reassuring smile: "Go back and rest early after you finish your soup. The kids caused quite a commotion today, and I'm really tired. I'm going to sleep now."

After saying that, she turned around gently, her figure disappearing into the shadows of the corridor and gradually fading into the distance.

Jin Ying stood alone in the same spot, motionless for a long time.

Only when her footsteps completely disappeared into the distance did he speak in an extremely low, hoarse voice, as if he were speaking to another being in his mind, or as if he were slowly torturing his own heart:

“You heard me… Even if I said it, the harm I caused has already happened. She… will not forgive me.”

In his mind, Fu Jinshen's consciousness was filled with a heavy sigh and a sense of powerlessness.

Perhaps the best outcome is that she doesn't know she is Fu Jinshen.

Telling her would only hurt her and reopen old wounds; what good would it do?
He once thought that he could rest easy if he could see her living a peaceful and happy life in this world, gradually forgetting her past and the pain that the man named "Fu Jinshen" had brought her.

But just the thought that he would eventually become an insignificant speck of dust in her life, and that even in her occasional, hazy memories, he would still recall it with hatred…

A suffocating, sharp pain shot through his chest, a thousand times worse than any unhealed wound.

“Then…” Jin Ying closed his eyes, suppressing all the turbulent emotions in his heart, feeling sad and regretful for him. “Let’s not talk about it.”

Let him silently watch over her as the Shadow of Ember.

Even if she never knows, even if one day she will completely forget.

This might be the last thing he could do for her.

***

Since the incident of the kids sneaking away that day, the snow outside the window has never truly stopped, only falling in waves, sometimes heavy and sometimes light, completely covering the last bit of color in the world.

Temperatures plummeted, breath turned to frost, and the true snow season boldly declared its dominance.

Bai Wanwan has become a "domesticated" treasure, with her activities strictly restricted by her animal husbands, and she stays in the warm, spring-like house all day long.

Perhaps it was due to less activity, or perhaps it was because the beastmen were feeding her all sorts of nourishing foods, but she clearly felt that she had become rounder. Her originally slender waist had a soft curve, and her cheeks were becoming fuller and rosier, like a carefully nurtured peach that was about to ripen.

Her most noticeable change was her slightly protruding belly.

Although it wasn't particularly obvious yet, when she lay down or wore a light nightgown, a soft, rounded curve could already be clearly seen—a new life quietly growing within her. Once Hua Han finished dealing with the tribe's affairs and had some free time, he would appear beside her like the most clingy animal, seizing every opportunity.

He would always approach cautiously, his usually charming eyes now filled with an almost dreamlike, unbelievable sense of cherishing.

He would reach out and gently stroke her slightly protruding belly again and again, as if confirming a fragile, beautiful dream.

"Wanwan, is this...is this really...me and your baby?"

Bai Wanwan was getting a little exasperated by his questions, but she still nodded patiently and firmly, poking his strong arm with her hand: "Yes, yes, it's absolutely true! If you still don't believe me, just wait until the baby is born and see who it looks like, then you'll know."

Hua Han would then pull her into his broad, warm embrace, his chin gently brushing against the top of her head. His voice was muffled, yet filled with love and emotion that was almost overflowing: "Wanwan, you are so good... I just... I just can't quite believe that this kind of happiness is really within my reach, right here in my arms."

He never expected that the female he fell in love with at first sight, who disliked and rejected him, would eventually become his wife and even bear him their child.

He had never longed so much to have a cub that was his own and connected to his beloved female by blood.

Bai Wanwan finally managed to calm Hua Han down, but as soon as she turned around, she was blocked by another male.

At night, the animal handlers take turns in an orderly manner.

However, during the daytime, theoretically, it falls under the category of "free competition".

However, for Bai Wanwan, this freedom meant constant sneak attacks.

Whenever the other males are busy and no one is watching her, she will always be scooped up by an arm that suddenly reaches out at some corner; or she will be quickly pulled into an empty room while passing by, stealing a moment of intimacy and tenderness.

Among them, Yan Lie, who is passionate, direct, and has a strong drive, and Hua Han, who is cunning and knows how to seize opportunities, are the most excessive.

They always managed to seize every opportunity to abduct her, demand a deep kiss, or take the chance to be intimate.

Soon, even the usually aloof and self-possessed Jiaoyin, who seemed detached from worldly affairs, actually... went astray!

As Bai Wanwan came out of the children's room again, just as she was about to go to the kitchen, the half-open door next to her suddenly opened, and a strong arm quickly pulled her inside!
As the light dimmed, Bai Wanwan instinctively assumed it was Yan Lie or Hua Han again, and blurted out with a hint of helpless indulgence, "Why are you doing this again..."

Before she could finish speaking, she was pulled into an embrace that carried a faint, cool scent.

His masculine, burning lips, with a passion unlike her cool demeanor, landed precisely on her sensitive neck, sending a shiver down her spine.

This feels...wrong.

Bai Wanwan turned her head slightly and looked up at him, instantly meeting a pair of deep, gentle, smiling eyes.

Those eyes seemed to hold melting spring snow, clear and warm, without a trace of the usual coldness and loneliness.

It turned out to be Xin Feng, who was always calm and reserved!

Bai Wanwan was surprised, but couldn't help but chuckle. She turned her head, obediently wrapped her arms around his neck, and let his kisses linger. She glanced at him with a smile, her tone teasing and affectionate:
"Xin Feng, I never thought... you'd also fallen into bad habits like them."
