Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

As she spoke, she stroked her slightly protruding belly and said with a faint smile, "Back then, if he hadn't saved me, I might not have been able to escape from that hellhole."

"If it weren't for his protection along the way, I probably would have perished in the jaws of monsters long ago!" she sighed with a laugh. "In the end, my life belongs to him!"

As she said this, Yun Dongjia's brows remained furrowed, but seeing her insistence, the words of opposition swirled in her mouth, yet she ultimately couldn't utter them.

Xixi smiled at him, nodded slightly to express her gratitude, thanking him for taking care of her for more than ten years, thanking him for risking his life for her, and thanking him even more for his respect and understanding.

She looked at Nuannuan again. Nuannuan was half a month pregnant earlier than Nuannuan, but because the cat-human's pregnancy period was slightly longer, at five months, Nuannuan's belly was not as obvious as Nuannuan's at this moment.

However, she couldn't ignore it just because it wasn't obvious. Holding Nuannuan's hand, she advised in return, "You've been waiting for this pregnancy for three years, which is really not easy. I'm already extremely grateful for your help in coming here. The road ahead is unknown, so why don't you wait on the outskirts for a few days? Jin Da and Jin Er are your beast husbands, so they can stay here to protect you as well, okay?"

Jin Da and Jin Er, who were called out, were actually among the first to express their desire to go in. When they were called out, they instinctively wanted to object, but then they thought that they couldn't leave Nuan Nuan alone in the forest. That would probably be more dangerous than going in with them!

But if we go in, as Xixi said, the road ahead is unknown, and no one knows what is hidden in the fog.

"No, this is a task Grandma gave me, and I must complete it properly. Besides, these people are the ones I brought out. If we let them go in without a leader, I'm afraid there will be trouble!"

As she said this, she glanced into the crowd, focusing on a few talkative people.

These people, rendered speechless by his gaze, waved their hands and said, "No, we'll be very obedient!"

At this moment, another person in the crowd stepped forward. "Nuan Nuan, it's really not convenient for you to keep going. Didn't you say yesterday that your lower abdomen was feeling heavy? That's a sign of miscarriage! Even if there were no deserted area, you should lie down and rest now!"

Xixi recognized this person; it was Nuanfeng, one of the brothers Nuannuan had mentioned to her several times, who had also been sent here by the chief witch this time.

She had previously supported Nuan Nuan on several occasions and helped stabilize the crowd, so it was clear that she had considerable prestige among them. Her combat power was level seven, only one point lower than that of Fat Orange.

According to Nuannuan, this person is a die-hard fan of Pangju. After Nuannuan paired him up with Pangju, he also showed her some attention for a while. But in her opinion, it was more like he was showing attention to her Pangju than to her.

After all, he had been helping Fatty Orange with chores from beginning to end, but he never once went near her.

After Nuanfeng spoke up, several males joined in the persuasion. Some said unpleasant things, saying that you wouldn't be able to do anything if you went, and it would be better not to cause trouble, as you would only distract them from taking care of you.

Although the words were harsh, Nuannuan thought about it carefully and realized that they made sense. She was there to help, but if she ended up causing trouble, wouldn't that be putting the cart before the horse?

Biting her lip, she finally agreed and watched the main force advance into the no-man's land.

The so-called no-man's-land is easily distinguishable from other forest areas even with the naked eye.

The fog, which seemed to appear out of nowhere, cast an unknown shadow over the road ahead.

Standing on the outside, all you can see is a thick fog, so thick you can't see your hand in front of your face, let alone what's inside.

"This is the no-man's land. You can't see inside from the outside, and you can't hear any sound. It's a complete vacuum!"

Just as Scarface finished speaking, a series of beastly roars suddenly echoed from the no-man's-land. It wasn't just one, but many, some angry, some screaming, continuous and seemingly coming from the deepest depths, with ripple-like echoes.

In an instant, everyone's expression tightened.

"Didn't you say you couldn't hear any sound? Then what are these sounds?"

"Could it be that those demonic beasts are inside?"

"Looks like we've come to the right place; Fat Orange must be inside!"

"Go in...go in? Fat Orange and the monster couldn't get out either, so we're going in..."

"What are you saying! You think that if you go back, Old Fang will let you off the hook?"

On the other side, Yun Dongjia also took a deep breath, then looked at his brothers intently and said, "It's not too late to back out now!"

"go ahead!"

"I will never give up!"

More than thirty peddlers responded in unison and showed their attitude with their actions, scrambling forward into the fog.

At this moment, Yunxi no longer transformed into a little white snake to entangle Xixi. Instead, he took the role of protector, putting one arm around Xixi's shoulder and holding her tightly in his arms.

People stepped into the mist one after another, and soon the forest returned to tranquility.

Xixi felt a blur before her eyes, and when she opened them again, the fog was gone. It was no different from the forest outside, except that the view was more open and the trees were not as dense.

But the people who were originally gathered together have inexplicably scattered, and apart from Yunxi who is holding her tightly, there is no one else around.

However, Yunxi's behavior was also a bit off. Even though it was flat ground no different from the outside, he insisted on walking in a winding, circuitous way, muttering to himself as he went, "Careful! Careful! Careful!"

After leading Xixi around in place eight times, he suddenly shouted, "Hold on tight!"

Then, he picked Xixi up and immediately jumped up in place. His posture was good, but neither the height of the jump nor the distance he traveled was more than a tiny bit.

Xixi noticed that he mobilized almost all his strength when he made this move. Although he never told her his combat level, judging from the lynx tribesmen's amazement at his speed, such a jump could not possibly be only this high and this far!

There's something here that's suppressing the males' fighting power!

Subconsciously, Xixi thought of this.

At the same time, Yunxi, carrying Xixi, spun around halfway in place and shouted again, "Watch out!"

Immediately afterward, his body lurched forward as if he had suffered a severe injury, even making a gesture as if he were spitting blood. Then, he abruptly released his grip on Xixi and slowly fell, his eyes filled with terror, as if screaming in his final moments, "Run! Run!"

Xixi understood that these words came from her, but she could see clearly that there was no third person around, and Yunxi had no injuries!

If this were still in his past life, Xixi would probably applaud enthusiastically. This is simply the ancestor of pantomime; the movements, language, expressions, and even the body's instinctive reactions are all so vivid.

But here, Xixi felt extremely eerie!

At that very moment, Xixi suddenly realized that there was a pair of eyes watching her from behind. The feeling of being spied on made the hairs on her body stand on end.
