Chapter 297 Coquetry
Zhu Xiu's inner joy was overshadowed by a deeper worry.

Complex emotions were etched between his handsome brows, and his bronze face flickered in and out of focus in the candlelight.

Once upon a time, he never imagined that he would become a female's mate, let alone share a partner with other males.

But now, he is not only one of Bai Wanwan's beast husbands, but he has also discovered that she harbors a secret that is enough to shake the entire beast world continent.

Every secret is like a sharp blade hanging overhead, threatening to bring about utter destruction at any moment.

"It's already reached the orange rank?"

Bai Wanwan's eyes gleamed with excitement as her slender fingers tugged at his animal skin skirt. "So, if we were surrounded by several Yellow-Rank Beastmen now, would we be able to handle it easily?"

In the year she's been in the Beast World, she's only seen a handful of Yellow-Rank Beastmen.

Even in a large tribe like the Golden Lion, there are only a few dozen Yellow-rank experts.

It's said that there isn't even a single orange-tier character.

Zhu Xiu's breakthrough this time means that as long as they don't provoke those super tribes, they can almost rest easy.

"Hmm." Zhu Xiu responded in a low voice, "Although there is only one level difference between orange and yellow ranks, their innate abilities are worlds apart."

He clenched his fist, feeling the surging power within him.

The removal of the dark curse has greatly increased his strength, and now he is confident that he can protect her even when facing the threat of the bear clan.

But what about the future?

Bai Wanwan, however, keenly noticed the strangeness in his expression.

She leaned closer, her soft fingertips stroking his tense cheek. "If you're so capable, why are you frowning?"

Zhu Xiu grabbed her slender wrist, his palm caressing it. "Yes, because I'm worried..."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over the frolicking cubs inside the room. "These secrets about me must never be known to other beastmen."

"rest assured,"

Bai Wanwan smiled, her eyes crinkling, "I was only off guard in front of you. I promise to keep my mouth shut in front of outsiders."

Zhu Xiu's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked, "Wanwan, would you like to visit the Super Tribe?"

"Of course I want to!" she answered without hesitation.

In modern times, she likes to travel when she's tired from work.

In this beast world, there are even fewer things to do for amusement.

What's the difference between being trapped in a small or medium-sized tribe for your entire life and being imprisoned?
Zhu Xiu frowned slightly. "Well, we can go and take a look when we have the chance, but... now is not the time."

"I know." Bai Wanwan leaned on his shoulder. "Anyway, there's plenty of time later, I'm not in a hurry."

Orcs can live for hundreds of years; she has plenty of time to wait.

She also understood that although her beast husbands were all Yellow-rank experts, there were even more terrifying Orange-rank beings in the super tribe.

"Other secrets may be hidden, but these cubs..."

Zhu Xiu's voice suddenly turned serious, "Wanwan, haven't you noticed? The talent of each subsequent litter of cubs is stronger than that of the previous one."

Bai Wanwan was taken aback upon hearing this.

Zhu Xiu continued, "Your secrets may still be hidden, but the talents of the cubs cannot be hidden."

He didn't finish his sentence, but both of them understood the consequences.

Even the legendary Holy Mother could not give birth to multiple Yellow-rank cubs in each pregnancy like she did.

Zhu Xiu had no doubt that she could give birth to orange-tier or even red-tier offspring in the future.

If that's the case, the super tribes will definitely stop at nothing to fight for her.

Thinking of this, a cold glint flashed in his eyes.

We must not expose her to danger until we are strong enough to contend with the super tribe.

"Wanwan, you should rest first."

As he stood up, his figure cast a long shadow in the firelight. "I'm going to find Xin Feng and the others to discuss some things."

Bai Wanwan nodded absentmindedly. After Zhu Xiu left, she immediately summoned the system.

"Peanut, did you hear what Zhuxiu just said? I wouldn't have noticed if he hadn't said it."

Why are my cubs getting stronger with each litter?

"If this continues, will it really be possible to produce orange-tier or even red-tier offspring?"

She bombarded him with a series of questions, but Peanut didn't hesitate and answered directly:
"Initially, the first offspring were weaker due to system damage. Now that the system is stable, the offspring's talents will be randomly generated, but the stronger the father beast's talent, the greater the probability of the offspring reaching a higher rank."

"In other words, if I get pregnant with another child with Zhu Xiu now..." Bai Wanwan's eyes lit up.

"Yes, it is very likely that an orange-tier cub will be born."

Bai Wanwan was overjoyed.

This means she can earn more points, but it also comes with greater risks.

No wonder the Candle Cultivation Society is so worried
Next time, she wants to exchange for a powerful weapon so that if she encounters danger again, she won't become a burden to the beastmen.

*******
After giving birth, Bai Wanwan was forced by her husbands to stay in bed for a few days.

For the past three days, besides feeding and playing with the cubs, all I did was eat and sleep.

Shihua has been busy preparing food for winter and taking care of her cubs lately, so she can only come to chat with her occasionally.

By the fourth day, she simply couldn't stay in bed any longer.

With the potatoes she had planted on her mind, she used every trick in the book to pester Xin Feng.

"I'll just go take a look, really!"

She grabbed Xin Feng's arm and shook it, her voice so sweet and soft that Xin Feng couldn't resist.

Unable to contain her commotion, Xin Feng pulled her into his arms with his strong arms.

“I check on them every day, and the potatoes are growing very well. You can let them rest for a couple more days until they are fully recovered before you go back.”

How could Bai Wanwan possibly give up?

She had made up her mind today that she would make Xin Feng give in while he was at home.

She buried her face in his chest and rubbed against him, pleading, "I'm going to get moldy if I stay cooped up in here any longer, please!"

Xin Feng couldn't stand her coquettishness and wanted to harden his heart to refuse, but when he saw her watery eyes, he just couldn't bring himself to do it.

Finally, she relented: "It's a promise, I'll just take one look and then come back."

Bai Wanwan immediately smiled radiantly and tiptoed to give him a light peck on the lips.

Before Xin Feng could react, she had already picked up the wicker basket containing the cubs and called to the half-grown cubs to rush outside.

As soon as I stepped out of the stone gate, a cool breeze hit me.

She couldn't help but shiver. "Why is it so cold?"

Only a few days have passed, and the temperature has dropped by at least four or five degrees.

A warm animal skin immediately appeared on his shoulder.

"Don't run so fast."

Xin Feng took the wicker basket from her hands, his tone both helpless and indulgent, "It's gotten cooler these past few days, be careful not to catch a cold."

Bai Wanwan wrapped the animal skin tightly around herself, grinning like a cat that had just stolen some cream. "Okay, let's go!"

The fresh air outside invigorated her.

As she passed the square, she noticed that there were far fewer injured orcs.

"Have the bear clan been behaving themselves lately?" she asked softly.

Xin Feng's eyes suddenly turned cold: "They are too busy taking care of themselves now, so they have reduced the number of times they have attacked."

Bai Wanwan's eyes lit up: "The Bear Clan is in trouble?"
