Chapter 739 Let's Face It Together

She buried her face in the crook of his neck and took a deep breath of his reassuring scent.

"Jin Yi, there's something I want to tell you."

“Mmm,” he gently rubbed his chin against the top of her head, tightening his arms around her to offer silent support, “I’m listening.”

His voice was like the softest breeze on a spring night, brushing against her tense heartstrings.

In this quiet mountain forest, far from the trouble, in this embrace of complete trust, those secrets that had been suppressed for so long finally found an outlet.

“In our world… it’s very different from here.”

She began to speak slowly, her voice soft, as if recounting a distant story, "Females... no, women, usually can only have one partner, like a matriarchal marriage, but more solemnly. I once... had such a partner, someone I wanted to spend my life with. We were together for a long time, and I thought we would stay like that forever..."

Jin Yi listened quietly, his hand patting her back clearly losing its rhythm.

“I used to love him very much…” She paused, as if recalling that love that had long since turned sour, “But later, he lied to me. His family arranged another woman for him… who would be more beneficial to his family. He kept it a secret from me and got engaged to that woman.”

She could feel that the arms wrapped around her tightened considerably, and Jin Yi's body tensed slightly.

"And then?" His voice remained steady, but if you listened carefully, you could detect the suppressed anger and bitterness beneath.

Jin Yi couldn't help but wonder: How outstanding must that male be? That Wanwan wanted to spend her life with him.

He, along with Zhu Xiu, Qiu Rong, Yin Ze... each of them was one of the most outstanding powerhouses in the Beast World. They could not even dream of such a thing, yet in that world, the other party almost possessed it.

He doesn't appreciate it!
"Then..." Bai Wanwan gave a bitter smile, "I let him go. It was very painful, but I eventually got over it. Later, I came into this world by accident and met you all."

She tightened her arms and hugged him even more tightly. "This is the best surprise in my life."

Jin Yi's heart softened because of her last words, but was immediately gripped by her next words.

“But…he came too,” Bai Wan said in a muffled voice.

"He's here too?" Jin Yi's breath hitched, and his expression changed drastically.

This news shocked him more than hearing that she had once had a life partner she wanted to spend her life with.

The male who hurt her has also come to this world? And that curved-faced girl…

"So, you want to get back together with him and go back to your world?"

This possibility made him feel uneasy, as if his most precious treasure was about to be taken away.

He almost involuntarily grabbed her hands that were wrapped around his waist, his grip tightening uncontrollably, as if this would lock her firmly to his side and prevent any possible separation.

Sensing the sudden surge of tension and fear in the male, Bai Wanwan immediately realized that he had misunderstood.

She quickly raised her head, her gaze clear and firm as she explained, "No! I have no such intention. It's over between him and me a long time ago, and there can never be a future for us. This is where you are, where Chief Rong, Zhu Xiu, Xin Feng, Hua Han, Yin Ze, Yan Lie, and Jiao Yin are... This is my home, and the people I love now are you! He means nothing to me anymore."

Her resolute words were like the most effective soothing balm.

The boulder hanging over Jin Yi's throat seemed to have been lifted a little; the grip on her wrist loosened slightly, and her wildly beating heart gradually calmed down.

He could tell from her eyes and tone of voice: she truly loved them!
Once he regained his composure, he continued, his voice low: "Then who is he? Wanwan, if you don't want to see him, if you don't want him to appear before you, I can..."

The unspoken words contained a powerful sense of decisiveness.

For her peace of mind, he would not hesitate to take any necessary measures.

"Need not……"

Her voice lowered, filled with weariness and confusion, "I haven't figured out... how to resolve this. He did hurt me, but... it's not worth killing him. I'm just very confused and wanted to talk to you for a while."

There was hatred between her and Fu Jinshen, but no deep-seated blood feud. She was a modern person and wouldn't be so extreme as to want a man's life just because of his betrayal.

As long as he doesn't appear in her life, she can consider that her sincerity during that time as a waste.

“Hmm,” Jin Yi hugged her tighter again, “Tell me what you want to say. If you feel it’s difficult or hard to handle, you can let us do it.”

"it is good."

After a moment of silence, Jin Yi's deep eyes flickered in the night, and he asked the crucial question: "Is he... in the Tiger Clan?"

Bai Wanwan hesitated for a moment, then nodded, "Mm."

“Right here beside us.” Jin Yi used a declarative sentence, not an interrogative one.

With his keen insight, combined with Wanwan's recent unusual behavior and her deliberate avoidance of a certain male, the answer was almost obvious.

Jin Yi tightened his arms around her again, his voice heavy with disbelief: "Is it Jin Ying?"

Bai Wanwan hadn't expected him to be so perceptive. "How did you know?"

Jin Yi originally thought that Wanwan just didn't like Jinying that much, but had accepted him by chance.

I never imagined they had this kind of relationship.

Thinking about the relationship between the other person and Wanwan, and that the other person had regained Wanwan right under their noses, his eyes became incredibly sharp.

He took a deep breath and asked the question that had been bothering him: "Isn't he a male of the elephant tribe? How could he be..."

He stopped mid-sentence.

Yes, so Wanwan is also a soul from another world?

If she can do it, then so can Ember Shadow.

Seeing Jin Yi's instantly enlightened yet complicated expression, Bai Wanwan knew that he had figured it out.

She nodded. "That's right. He, like me, comes from another world. He is now the male Ember Shadow of the Elephant Clan, but the soul inside his body... is my former partner, Fu Jinshen."

"Have you confirmed it?"

"Yes, I've already tested it. Jin Ying is Fu Jinshen."

The night was deep, and the firelight inside the cave was dim.

She finally revealed the secret, and it seemed as if some of the heavy weight on his heart had been lifted, but she knew that it was only temporary.

She will eventually face Ember Shadow again, and at that time, there must be a resolution between them!
"Jin Yi, why did Wanwan run into your arms?" Yan Lie woke up and was startled to find Wanwan gone.

I only saw her after I looked around.

Jin Yi said in a low voice, "Relax these few days. When we get back, I'll face him with you."

"Ah."

With someone to share the burden, Bai Wanwan's heart did indeed feel much more at ease.

Just then, Yan Lie walked over, and Jin Yi took the opportunity to put her into Yan Lie's arms.

"Sleep well, we've got you covered."
