Chapter 737, Chapter 754: Jealousy
He hadn't expected his female to be so dependent on him and so reluctant to part with him.

The arms around her waist tightened even more.

If he had a choice, he wouldn't want to leave her for even a moment; he just wanted to stay with her and the cubs and live their lives together.

perhaps……

He thought for a moment, then sighed with a mixture of helplessness and indulgence, finally relenting, "If you really want to go, it's not impossible..."

He cupped her face in his hands, making her look at him. "But you must promise me that you absolutely cannot leave the tribe or act on your own when I'm not by your side. Also, to ensure your safety, at least two other males from the family must accompany you. With their close protection, I can feel a little more at ease and focus more on handling tribe affairs."

Bai Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief when she heard him agree.

As for his condition, that he allow two other beastmen to accompany him?
That's not a difficult thing.

The Tiger Clan now has several more Crimson-rank males, and with them around, the Tiger Clan is safe and sound.

She has many husbands, and even if three of them leave with her, she can still take care of the children at home.

She immediately smiled and nodded, "Okay! I'll do whatever you say! I won't run around and cause trouble for you and the Tiger Clan."

Seeing the smile finally appear on her face, Jin Yi's last bit of worry disappeared, leaving only tenderness and anticipation for traveling with her.

He stroked her delicate skin with his thumb for a moment and smiled, "Then let's decide on this. We'll set off no later than tomorrow morning. You decide who's suitable to take with you."

"I'll go ask them now who's free."

Jin Ying noticed something was off about the past few days, but dared not think about it too deeply.

But he had just seen her off with his own eyes. She said goodbye to every beastman she had ever been with, but just so conveniently ignored him.

Was it a coincidence, or did he genuinely suspect him?
The thought was like an ice spike, piercing his heart.

It grew wildly like vines, entangling every strand of his thoughts.

impossible!

Fu Jinshen immediately denied it.

With a different body, Jin Ying has a complete growth trajectory that Wan Wan won't stray from.

He tried to convince himself with reason, but his mind kept replaying her "unintentional" probing attempts of the past few days.

Those seemingly casually mentioned fragments, yet precisely pointing to their shared memories; when she looked at him, it was no longer with embarrassment or curiosity, but with a sharp scrutiny and deep doubt.

Every detail has now become terrifying evidence pointing to the possibility that "she might have guessed it."

If she really guessed it... if she knew that Jin Ying was Fu Jin Shen, the Fu Jin Shen who had hurt her and abandoned her...

What will she think? What will she do?
A tremendous fear gripped him.

My heart pounded heavily in my chest, each beat accompanied by a dull ache.

He unconsciously clenched his fist, his knuckles making a slight cracking sound from the force, and his own fingernails dug deep crescent-shaped marks into his palm.

Just then, a beastly, direct, and bewildered voice echoed in Ember Shadow's mind: "What exactly are you troubled by?"

Within this shared body and consciousness, he could not hide his most fundamental emotions from Ember Shadow.

“She probably… guessed it,” Fu Jinshen replied with difficulty.

"Then why don't you just be honest with her? Tell her who you are, why you came here, tell her... all your hardships and regrets. You were forced to leave, you had your reasons. Perhaps... she will forgive you after hearing it."

"Forgive me?" Fu Jinshen almost laughed bitterly in his mind, the bitterness spreading and permeating every corner of his soul. This was something he had longed for every single day.

But given the current situation, he doesn't know how long he can survive.

What if Wanwan really forgives him, but then he disappears?
That would be a second blow to her.

He would rather she hate him than hurt her again.

This sounds like a paradox: wanting to be forgiven, yet fearing to be forgiven.

This uncertainty is like a sword hanging over our heads.

Caught between a rock and a hard place, it's all abyss.

Ember Shadow's consciousness seemed to sense this heaviness and contradiction, and she no longer made any suggestions.

Within this silent body, two consciousnesses share the same unsolvable pain and unease.

Fu Jinshen (Jinying) finally loosened his clenched fist and looked into the distance where she had disappeared.

Meanwhile, sitting on Yin Ze's broad and stable back, Bai Wanwan tilted her head back slightly, facing the cool morning breeze, and slowly closed her eyes.

The wind whistled past my ears, yet strangely brought a sense of tranquility amidst the noise.

Temporarily away from the source of her turmoil and near suffocation, away from that unfamiliar face marked by Fu Jinshen, her nerves, which had been stretched to the limit for days, and her chaotic thoughts seemed to find some respite and calm in this fast-moving and open space.

Although the future is uncertain and she is burdened with worries, at least for now, she can temporarily leave behind those soul-wrenching entanglements.

On her left and right sides, Yan Lie and Jin Yi stood like two most reliable fortresses.

Jin Yi stretched out his body, one hand naturally around her waist to prevent her from being jostled, his gaze gently surveying the road ahead and the surrounding environment, his profile appearing handsome and composed in the morning light.

On the other side, Yan Lie's condition was completely different.

He sat upright, his back taut like a fully drawn bow, but his eyes were not at all on guarding his surroundings.

His gaze would occasionally drift, with undisguised sourness and scrutiny, toward Jin Yi beside him, especially at Jin Yi's hand that was naturally wrapped around Bai Wanwan's waist.

That look in his eyes was like that of a big dog whose most beloved bone had been licked by its companion, full of wariness, dissatisfaction, and a hint of grievance.

When did Wanwan start caring so much about this big lion?

Yan Lie muttered to himself, unconsciously grinding his teeth.

It's just going back to his own tribe for a while, right? We've been separated before, so why does he insist on following me this time?

And...and they're so close!

The more he thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he even found Jin Yi's composed smile somewhat irritating.

So he shifted his body, deliberately squeezing closer to Bai Wanwan, pressing his strong arm more tightly against hers, almost "pushing" her over from Jin Yi's side.

At the same time, he cleared his throat, trying to get attention:

"Hey, Wanwan, it's windy, aren't you cold?" Without waiting for her reply, he took it upon himself to stretch out his arm and pull her close, the movement so large that he almost bumped into Jin Yi on the other side.

Jin Yi was incredibly perceptive; he had already noticed Yan Lie's childish jealousy and actions.
