The evil female is weak and the males of the whole continent are out of control and fall.

Chapter 467 Restrained Love
Outside the cave, the wind and snow seemed to be driven back somewhat by the warmth of the campfire and hot pot, and the howling sound became distant and indistinct.

Inside the cave, the leaping firelight cast warm, swaying shadows on the rock walls, and the air still held the lingering, irresistible aroma of hot pot.

The cubs had already curled up into fluffy little balls on the animal skin blanket and drifted off into a sweet dream.

Xin Feng closed his eyes to rest near the cave entrance, but his ears were alertly perked up.

Yan Lie leaned against the cave wall, idly whittling a wooden stick with a bone knife. Occasionally, his eyes would glance into the depths of the cave with a hint of envy, but he would quickly return to his work.

Hua Han transformed back into her fox form, closing her eyes and feigning sleep, though her ears would occasionally twitch.

The massive body of the snake, Zhu Xiu, was coiled near the cave entrance, like a silent and solid barrier. Its head was slightly raised, gazing at everything in the distance.

Yin Ze sat a little further away, his golden-red wings slightly folded, his gaze gently watching everything inside the cave, guarding this hard-won tranquility.

At the innermost part of the cave, the thickest and softest animal hide carpet was laid out, and several layers of thick animal hide curtains separated a warm space.

Jin Yi transformed back into human form. He lay on his side, carefully holding Bai Wanwan in his arms.

She leaned against his warm, strong chest, her head resting in the crook of his strong arm, her pregnant belly gently protected by the curve of their bodies.

Jin Yi's arm encircled her waist, his calloused hands gently resting on her lower abdomen.

"Are you about to give birth?"

Bai Wanwan found a comfortable position. "Hmm, I estimate about ten more days."

"Does it hurt? Let me rub it for you."

"It's not uncomfortable."

Bai Wanwan found a comfortable position in his arms, looked up at him, and asked, "Don't you want to?"

She could clearly feel Jin Yi's body becoming increasingly tense.

Warm breath sprayed onto her neck and behind her ears, carrying a distinct heat and a suppressed heaviness.

The tranquil atmosphere inside the cave, the soft body of his lover in his arms, and the faint, lingering fragrance were all like the most alluring catalysts, igniting the dormant desires deep within him.

His kisses, delicate and burning hot, spread from the top of her hair all the way to her sensitive earlobe and the hollow of her neck, filled with longing and tenderness.

Bai Wanwan could clearly feel the taut muscles of the man behind her and the almost boiling heat emanating from his body.

His strong, powerful heartbeat pressed against her chest, pounding against her like a drum.

Hot lips landed.

The already sensitive body during pregnancy is quietly awakened by this intimate teasing, and a familiar warm current spreads deep within the body.

She turned slightly to the side, and in the dim, warm firelight, she gently cupped Jin Yi's handsome face, which was taut with restraint.

His golden eyes appeared exceptionally deep in the firelight, surging with intense passion, like molten gold, almost threatening to devour her.

But every muscle in his body spoke of restraint. He held her arm tightly, controlling the force, afraid of hurting her, with an almost reverent care.

"It's alright, Jin Yi," Bai Wanwan's voice was as gentle as a feather brushing against his heart, carrying a soothing tone and a hint of subtle seduction as her fingertips caressed his taut jawline. "I'm fine, and my baby is very good."

The woman's words and gentle touch were like pouring hot oil on a raging fire. Jin Yi's breath hitched, his Adam's apple bobbed, and the arms around her tightened unconsciously, almost audible as he heard the sound of his own rationality reaching its limit.

He longed for her, so longed that his very soul cried out for her.

He lowered his head, his forehead touching hers, their hot breaths mingling.

His golden eyes gazed deeply into hers, his voice hoarse, filled with intense desire and profound restraint: "Wanwan... don't tempt me..."

He spoke with difficulty, each word seemingly squeezed from his burning chest, "Being able to hold you like this, to kiss you... is already an unparalleled happiness for me."

He tenderly placed a long and affectionate kiss on her lips, filled with endless longing and contentment.

The surge of passion gradually subsided through extreme restraint.

Bai Wanwan nestled in his warm embrace, the only sounds in the cave being the crackling of the campfire and the even breathing of the cubs.

In this rare moment of tranquility, she spoke softly: "I never expected that coming out this time would involve my background and cause such a long delay... Once the matter with the Flood Dragon Clan here is completely resolved and all the troubles are settled," she raised her head and met his gentle gaze in the dim light, "I will accompany you back to the Golden Lion Tribe to take a look and stay for a while."

Jin Yi was slightly taken aback. Returning to his tribe... he did indeed miss his homeland.

But her safety and happiness always come first.

His golden eyes shone brilliantly in the firelight, filled with her charming and languid face, and overflowing with deep affection and contentment.

He couldn't help but lower his head and press his lips to her forehead. "Hmm, but no rush, Wanwan."

He tightened his arms around her, pulling her completely into his embrace, feeling each other's heartbeats. "You're right here beside me, in my arms, and you and the baby are both alright... That's more important than anything else."

His words were like the warmest spring water, gently flowing into Bai Wanwan's heart.

She closed her eyes, completely relaxed, and fell into a deep sleep in his strong and warm embrace, in this haven built by the beastmen together, sheltered from the wind and snow of the outside world.

Jin Yi gazed at her peaceful sleeping face, feeling her steady breathing and the slight movements of the little life inside her. His golden eyes were no longer restless, only filled with boundless tranquility and contentment.

He carefully adjusted his position to make her more comfortable, then closed his eyes and gently rested his chin on the top of her head.

Outside the cave, the wind and snow seemed to have subsided considerably.

Zhu Xiu raised his enormous snake head slightly, his cold, vertical pupils gazing at the dark night sky, sensing the subtle changes in the wind and snow.

Inside the cave, the gentle glow of the campfire enveloped the sleeping lovers, the slumbering cubs, and the males guarding the cave, transforming this small space into the warmest nest on a cold, snowy night.

A brief moment of calm is the most precious gift before the storm.

Five days later, the snow gradually stopped, which meant that the snow season was coming to an end.

Bai Wanwan knew she was about to give birth, so she would occasionally go to the cave entrance to check on things.

The Jiaolong tribe has lost two waves of males; it's unclear whether they will send a third wave.

Even with the males present, Bai Wanwan wasn't completely at ease.

That night, Bai Wanwan was lying in Yan Lie's arms when she suddenly pushed him away. "Yan Lie, go and boil some water. I... I think I'm going into labor!"
