Chapter 524 Something’s not right
The two good friends happily held each other's hands. Bai Wanwan smiled and introduced Shuanghua to Shihua: "Shihua, this is Aunt Shuang. She treats me like a mother."

Shuanghua looked lovingly at the vibrant young female before her and greeted her with a kind smile: "Good child, I often hear Wanwan mention you. You are such a lovable female."

Shi Hua blushed slightly, feeling a little embarrassed, and quickly and warmly greeted everyone: "Hello, Aunt Shuang! Sister Wanwan, please don't just stand outside, come in and sit down! Let's talk inside!"

She stepped aside and warmly welcomed the distinguished guests who had traveled from afar into her cozy home.

The house was indeed bustling with activity, with several half-grown chicks chasing and playing, emitting excited howls and growls.

Bai Wanwan looked closely and discovered that they were two gray-black puppies with alert eyes, and two round-headed golden lion cubs that already had a somewhat fierce appearance.

With a slight shift in her mind, she immediately realized that the two lively lion cubs must be the cubs born after she gave Shihua the fertility pill.

Shi Hua also noticed the string of little tails following Bai Wanwan—little tiger cubs and little phoenixes with different colored fur but equally spirited—and couldn't help but widen her eyes, sincerely exclaiming, "Sister Wanwan, you're really amazing!"

She had heard of the Holy Queen of the Golden Lion Clan, but none were as powerful as Sister Wanwan.
Not only did they produce more offspring than the Holy Mother, but each of their cubs was also so healthy, lively, and exceptionally gifted.

Bai Wanwan winked playfully at her, her tone joking yet full of confidence: "What's the big deal? If you want to have more children, you can have as many as you want."

She now has three Crimson-Rank Beast Husbands—Zhu Xiu, Yin Ze, and Jin Yi—and plenty of system points. Although some of the cubs she conceived in the early stages still need her to slowly improve their talents with points, the points spent on exchanging for the Pregnancy Pill are already a drop in the ocean for her.

"Come here, little ones." Bai Wanwan smiled and waved to the children of Shihua.

Shi Hua quickly smiled at her playful cubs and said, "Come over here and call her Aunt Bai! These are all your younger brothers and sisters."

Several half-grown cubs curiously gathered around. Although they still had the playfulness of cubs, they could already call out "Aunt Bai" clearly and in different ways. Their voices were crisp and tender, which melted Bai Wanwan's heart and made her smile with her eyes crinkling.

She looked at the children carefully and asked Shihua with concern, "How is the talent of these little ones?"

Mentioning this, a faint trace of sorrow crossed Shi Hua's face, and she sighed softly: "Alas, perhaps it's my fault, I've dragged the children down. Their father beasts are all quite talented, at least at the green rank, but the cubs... the highest they can get is only the blue rank."

In the beast world that reveres strength, the cubs' talents are often the most important thing for the females.

Bai Wanwan held her hand and gently comforted her, "Don't worry, the children are still young, and they have a long future ahead of them. Perhaps they will be blessed in the future and find the opportunity to advance."

She did not intend to use the system to upgrade the rank of these cubs right now.

The cubs are still young, and a high rank is not necessarily a good thing for them. What if they are discovered and captured by bad beasts to find out how to advance their rank?
The best time is when they reach adulthood and need to demonstrate their strength to pursue their desired partner.

Shi Hua had an almost blind trust in Bai Wanwan. Hearing her say that, the worry on her face immediately disappeared, and she nodded vigorously, saying, "Yes! If Sister Wanwan says you will, then you definitely will! I'll listen to you!"

As the warm season arrives, the weather grows increasingly warm. Sunlight streams through the windowpanes, casting golden dappled patterns on the ground covered with animal hides.

The air was filled with the aroma of roasted meat and a faint smell of firewood—the unique, warm scent of Shihua's home.

They sat together, sharing the interesting stories and experiences they had had since they parted ways.

Shihua gestured animatedly as she recounted the exciting events happening in the tribe, her eyes sparkling with excitement.

Suddenly, she changed the subject, turning her gaze to Shuanghua, who had been listening with a gentle smile the whole time, and her tone became emotional and sincere:
“Aunt Shuang, you don’t know,” Shi Hua’s voice was tinged with a barely perceptible sob, a bittersweet memory of the past and a deep appreciation for the happiness of the present, “I have poor fertility, and the clan was planning to send me to the female cave… At that time, I felt like the sky was falling, and I felt like my life was over.”

As she spoke, she couldn't help but reach out and tightly grasp Bai Wanwan's hand beside her, her eyes filled with endless gratitude. "If I hadn't met Sister Wanwan later, who not only cured my body but also helped me... gave me the hope of becoming a female, how could I possibly have my beloved beast husband now, or these strong and mischievous little guys?"

As she spoke, she looked tenderly at her own cubs playing with Sister Wanwan's little ones in the yard.

Shuanghua listened attentively, her face, covered with fine lines, revealing pity and relief.

She reached out and patted Shihua's hand affectionately, her voice as gentle as a warm spring breeze: "Good girl, the past is the past. What matters most is being well now. If you ask me, it's because you are a good female, kind and resilient, that Wanwan is willing to help you so wholeheartedly."

Shuanghua's words were very apt, affirming the stone flower itself while also praising Bai Wanwan's discerning eye.

Shi Hua felt embarrassed upon hearing this, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she quickly shook her head: "Aunt Shuang, please don't praise me. It's Sister Wanwan who is even better to me. I can never repay her for the help she has given me in this lifetime."

While the females chatted tenderly, several powerful male beastmen naturally sat together on the other side.

Unlike the females, they didn't chatter on about everyday matters; their conversation naturally turned to what they had seen along the way and the situation of the tribe.

Yin Ze picked up the water handed to him by the Stone Flower Beastman and took a sip. His phoenix eyes narrowed slightly as he broke the silence between the males. His voice was deep and inquisitive: "You... on your way back, did you notice that the Golden Lion Clan has many foreign beastmen?"

Zhu Xiu leaned against the wall, seemingly relaxed, but his eyes scanned the view outside the window like the most sophisticated radar. Upon hearing this, he simply gave a very soft "hmm" in response, indicating that he had also noticed it.

Yan Lie was teasing a puppy lying at his feet with a strip of meat. Hearing this, he casually looked up, his hair swaying with his movements: "Large tribes naturally have many outside beastmen. Some come to trade, some to seek refuge, some to stay temporarily. Isn't that normal? What's the problem?"

He's more straightforward and didn't think too deeply about it at the time.

 Time is indeed a bit tight right now. Once the kids start school, I'll resume updating on time.
