Chapter 802 The Arrival of the Hot Season
His palms were warm, and through the thin fabric, the warmth felt like it could be directly applied to the skin.

His voice became somewhat low and hoarse in the night, carrying a certain expectation.

Although, as part of "Ember Shadow," he had previously treated that litter of elephant calves as his own, showering them with the same fatherly love.

But this time, he truly embraced her with his own body and united with her.

Based on his understanding of Taiwanese physiques, barring any unforeseen circumstances... it is highly likely that a new life has already been conceived.

This thought stirred his emotions, and a strange sense of belonging and responsibility welled up within him.

Bai Wanwan's body stiffened almost imperceptibly.

She immediately looked up, meeting his eyes precisely in the dim light, and gently pressed his hand against her lower abdomen, stopping him from continuing to overthink.

"No, not yet." Her voice was soft, but reassuring. "It's just not there yet, it will be in the future."

Sensing the subtle changes in his body and the fleeting surprise in his eyes, Bai Wanwan leaned closer, almost touching his nose, and looked intently into his deep eyes, whispering:

“Jinshen, I don’t want to have children right now, so I exchanged the medicine and will wait until I’ve recovered before having our child.”

The emotion in Fu Jinshen's eyes vanished abruptly, and he put his arm around her, saying, "Okay, you really should take good care of your health."

He simply assumed that Wanwan's constitution meant she was already pregnant.

He also agreed with Wanwan's approach, hoping their cubs would be healthier and stronger.

She took his hand. "Yes, it will be soon."

Once she accumulates two million points, she can reshape his genes, and the offspring born then will be even stronger.

In this world, those with low talent will be eliminated, and she doesn't want her and Fu Jinshen's child to face uncertain risks.

Therefore, she wanted to eliminate all the bad factors.

But she didn't say anything more. When that day came, she would give Fu Jinshen another surprise.

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead. "I know you came here because you were worried about me. I'm fine. You should be with Zhu Xiu tonight. He probably knew you came, but he didn't stop you."

Therefore, he shouldn't have forced Wanwan to stay.

With so many males around Wanwan, they must learn to understand each other in order to reduce conflicts and prevent Wanwan from having worries.

Bai Wanwan actually understood that Zhu Xiu, being such a vigilant male, couldn't possibly not know she had left.

She was just worried about Fu Jinshen and wanted to come and see him.

Bai Wanwan buried her head in his arms, "Okay, then let me hold you for a little while longer."

Fu Jinshen's lips curved into a gentle smile. "Okay."

After a while, Fu Jinshen gently patted her back and said, "Go on, don't worry, get some rest."

Bai Wanwan tilted her head back and kissed the corner of his lips, then lifted the covers and got out of bed.

She tiptoed back to her room. Zhu Xiu was lying on his side on the big bed with his back to the door. Even when he heard the noise, he didn't turn around and seemed to be fast asleep.

She quietly took off her outer garment, lifted a corner of the quilt and lay down. Just as she was about to breathe a sigh of relief, her waist suddenly tightened as a strong and powerful arm pulled her close without warning, and her back instantly pressed against a warm and firm chest.

"You're back?" Zhu Xiu's deep voice sounded behind her ear. His slightly hoarse voice revealed no emotion, but the strength of his arms around her carried an undeniable presence.

He hadn't slept; he had been waiting for her.

Indeed, the art of handling things properly is a lifelong skill.

She felt like she owed everyone something. She relaxed, leaned back into his arms, and softly hummed in agreement, explaining in a low voice, "I'm just... a little worried, so I went to check on things."

Zhu Xiu didn't speak, but tightened his arms, rested his chin on the top of her head, and his warm breath brushed against her ear.

Silence spread in the darkness, but it was not suffocating; instead, it had a tacit, unspoken tranquility.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, his voice deeper than before: "Next time you're with me," he paused, his tone carrying an undeniable declaration, "you're not allowed to go looking for other males."

The possessiveness in these words is clearly evident.

He knew she harbored feelings for all men, but he wanted her to belong entirely to him at this moment.

This may be his final bottom line.

Upon hearing this, Bai Wanwan turned around in his arms, precisely finding his lips in the dim light, and kissed him first. The kiss was brief, then she hugged his neck tightly, buried her face in the crook of his neck, and said clearly, "Okay!"

A single, simple word, yet it carries profound weight.

Zhu Xiu seemed to be stunned for a moment, and then his usually cold eyes softened in the darkness.

He didn't say anything more, but simply lowered his head and kissed her deeply.

The kiss initially carried a domineering tone, but gradually, Zhu Xiu's kiss became slow and soft.

He slowly released her when both of them were breathing heavily, his fingertips caressing her slightly swollen lips, and pulled her even closer into his embrace.

"Go to sleep."

Knowing that the female had worried too much and must be tired by now, he gently patted her back.

Bai Wanwan nestled comfortably in his arms, feeling his steady heartbeat and familiar body temperature.

Exhaustion and peace of mind washed over her at the same time, and she quickly fell into a deep sleep surrounded by his reassuring presence.

As Zhu Xiu listened to the gradually even breathing of the person in his arms, his eyes remained clear in the night.

He gently adjusted her position to make her more comfortable before slowly closing his eyes.

As long as she's by my side, everything else can be compromised.

But what belongs to him, no one can take away.

******
In the blink of an eye, the Beast World Continent entered its most intense scorching season.

This year's hot season is particularly unbearable. The scorching sun seems to be baking the earth, and visible heat waves roll in the air. Even the leaves of the evergreen giant trees have curled at the edges and drooped.

The cellars in the tribe that used to store ice are now empty, while the temperature continues to rise.

The cubs suffer the most.

The little guys, who were usually full of energy and jumping around, now looked like wilted grass, lying listlessly in the shade with their tongues hanging out. They had even lost their enthusiasm for hunting with their fathers and just wanted to lie on the slightly cooler ground and stare blankly.

But what worries the males in the family the most is their female, Bai Wanwan.

She is naturally more sensitive to heat than the average female, and now that she is pregnant, her body is under even greater strain, and her body temperature is higher than usual.

Without ice to cool her down, her cheeks flushed from the heat, and she lost her appetite, always lying listlessly on the recliner covered with the coolest bamboo mat.

Seeing their beloved females suffer, the males felt as if their hearts were being roasted on hot coals.

"No, we can't just watch Wanwan suffer like this!" Yan Lie was the first to lose his temper, slamming his hand on the stone table, his eyes filled with anxiety and determination. "The tribe's ice cellar is empty, and the nearby mountain springs have all turned to lukewarm water. I have to go to the Glacier Forest! There, the snow never melts all year round; we're sure to be able to dig up some ice there!"
