Chapter 738 Why did you play such a joke on her?

But he didn't argue with Yan Lie. He had already gained Wanwan's attention, and he felt at peace.

The heavy vexation in Bai Wanwan's heart was somewhat dispelled by Yan Lie's straightforward and childish jealousy, replaced by a warm feeling that was both amusing and exasperating.

She reached out and gently grasped Yan Lie's large hand, which was resting on his knee.

Yan Lie immediately grabbed her hand with a strong grip, preventing her from pulling away.

Bai Wanwan let him hold her hand, gently scratching his rough palm with her fingertips, like stroking a big cat's fur.

Yan Lie's brows and eyes finally relaxed.

The next few days of the trip went very smoothly, without encountering any danger.

However, after Bai Wanwan calmed down from that extreme emotion, she suddenly thought of something that instantly made her blood run cold and her face turn deathly pale.

She looked down at her still flat stomach.

That night, she became pregnant with Ember's cub.

Her fingertips involuntarily curled up. She took a deep breath and asked the system in her mind, "Peanut, can I abort this pregnancy?"

The system quickly stopped him, "Host, you can't! I am a birth system, and abortion is absolutely forbidden. If you have an abortion, you will be severely punished, and you may even... have your points reset to zero."

Peanut's answer made Bai Wanwan's face turn even paler.

Why did fate have to play such a cruel joke on her?

Fu Jinshen, why do you have to appear again!
Her eyes turned sharp and resentful.

Old grudges have not been forgotten, and new troubles have arisen, especially in such a way that blood ties cannot be easily severed.

What should she do? These cubs... how should she greet them?

"Wanwan, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?" Yan Lie quickly noticed her unusual behavior.

Her face suddenly lost all color, her lips turned slightly pale, and her eyes became somewhat unfocused...

Yan Lie hurriedly leaned closer to ask, his large hand instinctively reaching out to touch her forehead.

Almost simultaneously, Jin Yi on the other side also keenly noticed her change.

He frowned, quickly and firmly supporting her waist with one hand, while looking up at Yin Ze, who was controlling the direction ahead, and said in a deep voice, "Yin Ze, find a flat and safe place ahead, land and rest first. Wanwan doesn't look well."

"No need!" Bai Wanwan snapped out of her daze, grabbed Jin Yi's hand, and grabbed it with a bit too much force.

She took a deep breath, suppressing her turbulent emotions, and tried to make her voice sound calm. "I'm not feeling unwell, there's no need to make a special landing. Let's not delay our journey and get going as soon as possible."

She just wanted to get to her destination quickly so she could think about what to do next.

Yan Lie's brows furrowed, his eyes filled with worry, as he scrutinized her complexion relentlessly. "But your face is as white as snow! Is your stomach hurting? Or are you tired?"

He was so anxious that he was at a loss, wishing he could jump down immediately and hunt the best prey for her.

Jin Yi didn't speak immediately, but just looked at her quietly with his deep eyes.

In fact, he had already noticed these past two days that although Wanwan had come out with him, her mind seemed to be wandering far away.

She often tossed and turned at night, unable to sleep, and was often dazed during the day. Her smiles were always superficial and never reached her eyes.

She wasn't as carefree and cheerful as she usually was when she went on trips; instead, it seemed as if she was carrying some heavy burden, using this journey to escape or reflect.

Her pale face and hurried denials at that moment only confirmed his suspicions.

He was worried, but he didn't insist on landing any further. Since she was adamant, he would wait until she was willing to speak up.

He tightened his grip on her arm and whispered, "Okay, hang in there a little longer. Tell me immediately if you feel unwell."

Unable to check on the female's condition as he was flying, Yin Ze was worried and silently adjusted his altitude and speed, using his raised head to completely block out the cracks.

As darkness fell, Yin Ze found a dry, sheltered cave amidst the surrounding mountains to take shelter in.

Without saying a word, Yan Lie transformed into his beast form and slipped into the night to hunt the freshest dinner for his female.

Jin Yi deftly lit a campfire, dispelling the chill in the cave and any insects that might be present.

Yin Ze quietly stood guard near the cave entrance, his eyes fixed on the surrounding movements, like the most vigilant sentry.

Under the attentive care of the three males, Bai Wanwan ate and drank her fill, washed up, and was then placed on a leather bed covered with soft, thick hay.

As night deepened, the campfire grew weaker, leaving only the faint glow of dark red embers.

As agreed, Jin Yi would keep watch during the first half of the night, while Yan Lie and Yin Ze would stand on either side, like loyal guardian beasts, protecting Bai Wanwan in the middle to ensure she could rest in peace.

Outside the cave, the mountains and forests were completely silent, with only the rustling of the night wind through the treetops and the occasional cry of an owl in the distance.

Inside the cave, the males' even, powerful breathing rose and fell in a reassuring rhythm.

However, Bai Wanwan, who was being protected in the middle, kept her eyes open and showed no signs of sleepiness.

Not wanting to disturb the sleeping male next to her, she could only turn over gently.

But these subtle movements still caught Jin Yi's attention.

He sat quietly by the campfire for a while, then silently stood up, walked to the haystack, and squatted down.

By the faint moonlight and the remaining firelight filtering through the cave entrance, he saw her open eyes.

"What's wrong?" he asked in a low voice, his breathy tone almost blending into the night.

Bai Wanwan looked at his face, which was so close to hers and full of concern, and reached out her hand to him.

Jin Yi immediately understood, and gently but firmly pulled her out from between Yan Lie and Yin Ze, picked her up horizontally, and carried her to a spot near the cave entrance where she could be sheltered from the night wind.

The temperature in the mountains and forests dropped considerably at night.

Jin Yi sat down first, then carefully wrapped her tightly in his thick animal skin cloak before pulling her into his arms, letting her back press against his warm chest.

Jin Yi simply held her like this, his arms steady and strong, one hand even rhythmically and extremely gently patting her back and arm, as if soothing an uneasy cub.

He didn't ask any further questions, but simply used his body heat and silent companionship to shield her from the cold night and loneliness.

This silent acceptance and understanding was more effective than any words in breaking down her defenses.

She adjusted her position in his arms, raised her head, and looked at him in the dim light.

The moonlight and the afterglow of the distant charcoal fire intertwined, falling on his exceptionally handsome face, outlining his smooth and beautiful jawline, his high and straight nose, and his eyes that were always smiling but were now filled with tenderness and focus.

No matter how many times she saw that face, it still pleased her and brought her a sense of peace.

"What are you looking at me for?" Noticing her gaze, Jin Yi chuckled softly, a slight vibration coming from his chest, his voice deep and pleasant.

Bai Wanwan didn't answer, but instead stretched out her arms, passed them under his armpits, and tightly hugged his strong waist.
