Chapter 813 About to lose control
"Jin Shen?" Bai Wanwan's heart clenched, and she hurriedly called out to him, but received no response.

The males around him looked grave, and the chieftain's gaze swept over the empty crystal bottle: "Is there something wrong with the potion?"

Bai Wanwan took a deep breath, not bothering to answer Chief Rong, and immediately cried out in her mind, "Peanut! I just gave Fu Jinshen the gene-modifying agent, and he immediately fainted. Is this normal? Does the gene-modifying agent have side effects?"

"Host, please do not panic." Peanut's calm electronic voice sounded promptly. "This is a normal phenomenon during the initiation of the deep gene modification process. The modification will be completed while the target is asleep to ensure that energy is used for the most critical cellular recombination, reducing pain and risks at the level of consciousness."

My heart, which had been in my throat, finally settled back into place.

Bai Wanwan then realized that her back was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

She quickly explained to the beastmen, "Don't worry, he just needs to sleep for a while to complete the transformation. It's alright."

She had Yan Lie and Jiao Yin carefully carry the unconscious Fu Jinshen to her bed.

She leaned down to listen to his steady, strong heartbeat, and checked his even breathing before she finally breathed a sigh of relief.

In the days that followed, aside from occasionally playing with the cubs, she spent most of her time sitting by Fu Jinshen's bedside, knitting sweaters and keeping him company.

The warm season is the prime time for hunting and storing food. Apart from leaving behind the necessary manpower to take care of her and her cubs, the males such as Zhuxiu and Qiurong are all out busy.

Bai Wanwan had just finished examining Fu Jinshen when Hua Han walked in from outside. Seeing the smile on her lips, he came over, put his arm around her waist, and kissed her on the cheek. "Wanwan, what are you laughing at?"

Bai Wanwan turned around, smiling as she looked into his affectionate peach blossom eyes, "Jin Shen will be awakening soon, and the cubs are growing up. In the future, the tribe will become more and more stable and powerful. By then... I want to travel to every corner of the Beast World Continent."

Hua Han's lips curved into a wider smile. "Okay, wherever you want to go, we'll go with you!"
The weather grew warmer day by day, and Fu Jinshen slept for a full seven days without showing any signs of waking up.

Every day, without fail, Bai Wanwan has Peanut perform three full scans on him.

“Gene modification progress 78%…” Each update of the scan results brought her a little more peace of mind.

Just then, Yin Mei and Shuang Hua came together to invite her.

"Wanwan, you've been cooped up for days. The sun is shining brightly today, and it's not too hot. Shall we go for a walk? You can also take a look at your precious seedlings."

Bai Wanwan also wanted to go to the field to check on the growth of the crops, so she readily agreed.

When other females were traveling with them, Yan Lie, who was in charge of protecting them, could only follow at a distance, neither too close nor too far.

Half of the land she cultivated was planted with high-yield, long-lasting potatoes, while the other half was divided into plots and planted with various vegetables and fruits she had redeemed from the system, creating a lush and vibrant landscape.

"Wanwan, what's this? It's so red and beautiful." Yin Mei squatted down and pointed to the clusters of plump, ruby-like fruits among the green leaves.

"This is called a 'tomato,' you can pick one and try it," Bai Wanwan introduced with a smile.

Now, her husbands have surpassed her in culinary skills, and without much guidance from her, they can transform these fresh ingredients into amazing delicacies.

This once culinary wasteland has become vibrant and delicious.

Yin Mei curiously picked one, wiped it on the corner of her clothes, and took a big bite.

The sweet and sour, refreshing juice burst in her mouth, and her eyes lit up: "So sweet! And a little sour, so refreshing!"

Bai Wanwan smiled, turned around and walked forward, wanting to check on the growth of a row of chili peppers next to her.

Unexpectedly, just as they rounded a clump of exceptionally lush plants, a tall figure suddenly appeared out from the side without warning.

"careful!"

As the deep male voice rang out, Bai Wanwan was too late to stop and crashed headfirst into the other's solid chest. A unique scent entered her nostrils.

I looked up and met a pair of deep brown eyes.

Her image was clearly reflected in his pupils, along with a complex and intense focus that he couldn't hide.

Bai Wanwan quickly composed herself, pretending that she had bumped into an ordinary member of her tribe, lowered her eyelashes, and tried to pull her wrist away from his hand that he had instinctively taken her hand.

However, the large hand that was gripping her wrist, its palm burning hot, froze for a moment and did not immediately let go.

The sensation traveled through his skin, carrying a subtle tremor, as if something long suppressed within him had suddenly broken free of its restraints.

Bai Wanwan could clearly feel the thin calluses on his fingertips and the pulse beating in her wrist.

Time seemed to stretch out, and the rustling of tomato leaves in the breeze and the distant laughter of Yin Mei and Shuang Hua became blurred.

She raised her eyes, her gaze calmly sweeping over his still-holding hand, before looking back into his eyes with just the right amount of doubt and detachment.

Roger seemed to be burned by her gaze, and suddenly came back to his senses. His fingertips curled up almost imperceptibly, and the uncontrollable force subsided abruptly.

He released his fingers very slowly, almost reluctantly, as if releasing some rare treasure.

The moment he let go, Yan Lie, who had been watching the commotion, strode forward, his tall figure unmistakably standing between Bai Wanwan and Roger, his gaze scrutinizing them with a natural wariness.

"Wanwan, what's wrong?"

Bai Wanwan casually took Yan Lie's arm, her tone light: "It's nothing, I just bumped into something. Let's go check on the chili peppers over there."

She pointed to another ridge in the field.

Yan Lie had no suspicions and took it as a normal accident. He protected her, turned around, and walked to the other side.

But as she turned around, she didn't forget to glance back at the silent male standing there, giving him a warning look.

Roger clenched the hand that had touched her and hid it behind his back, his gaze fixed on the slender figure that was being carefully protected and gradually receding into the distance.

The shiver and warmth from that brief contact still lingered on his fingertips, but now they transformed into the sharpest needles, piercing through his reason.

Jealousy, mixed with boundless envy, spread like wildfire.

Even if only once... he could stand openly and honestly beside her, just like they did.

Instead of being a despicable voyeur, chewing on this heart-wrenching desire in the shadows.

Just as he was about to be consumed by this madness again, Bai Wanwan turned around, her clear, cold eyes meeting his gaze.

The madness and loss of control in Roger's eyes vanished instantly, and he greedily met her gaze.

He still couldn't bear to see fear and disgust in those eyes.

Forget it, so be it.

I watched her happiness from afar.

"Wanwan, what are you looking at?" Yan Lie asked, turning around in confusion.

Bai Wanwan withdrew her gaze first, lowered her eyes to reveal her emotions, but the corners of her mouth turned up slightly.
