Chapter 548 Yan Lie Gets Beaten
"Wanwan!" Yan Lie let out a low growl from deep in his throat, a growl that was both devastating and extremely pleasurable, as the last thread of his reason snapped completely!
He suddenly picked up the female in his arms and strode towards the three-meter-wide bed.

The bedroom was scorching hot that night.

The newly promoted red-tier male possessed unimaginable energy; his love and desire were like the most intense flames, almost melting the two of them.

From the bed to the floor, every corner of the room seemed to retain the passionate atmosphere of their lingering love.

When the morning sun shone gently through the window, casting golden light throughout the room, Yan Lie finally embraced the exhausted and fast-sleeping female in his arms.

He looked down at Bai Wanwan's peaceful sleeping face, her cheeks still flushed, and the corners of her lips slightly upturned in satisfaction.

A tremendous sense of happiness and accomplishment filled his chest, making his handsome face radiate satisfaction and love.

"Wanwan..." he murmured softly, as if holding a rare treasure, gently pecking at the corners of her lips, the tip of her nose, and her eyelids, each kiss filled with overflowing love and gratitude.

Bai Wanwan was awakened by a cacophony of sounds outside the window, a mixture of cries from cubs and deep, harsh shouts from males.

Sunlight was already streaming in through the gaps in the curtains, indicating that it was getting late.

"Waaah... Father beast, please stop hitting me..."

"Waaaah... Father Flame is bleeding..."

"Father beast... please stop fighting, waah... didn't we agree that good brothers shouldn't fight..."

The cries of the cubs, filled with terror and helplessness, came intermittently, making one's heart tighten.

Bai Wanwan was still half asleep, lingering with the languid feeling of last night's intimacy, but the crying instantly banished all her drowsiness.

Her heart tightened, and she abruptly threw off the soft silk quilt. Ignoring her aching body, she walked barefoot to the window and pulled open the curtains.

The scene on the open ground downstairs was chaotic.

Yan Lie was knocked to the ground by Zhu Xiu's punch, with bright red blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. His beautiful hair was covered in dust, making him look disheveled.

Yan Lie had just advanced to the Crimson Rank male last night, greatly increasing his strength. Yet, facing Zhu Xiu's fierce attacks, he showed no intention of fighting back, merely passively parrying while taking several solid blows.

Beside them, Chief Rong, Xin Feng, and Yin Ze stood by with solemn expressions, but none of them stepped forward to stop them; they simply watched in silence.

The cubs were kept outside, and several of the older ones tried to protect their younger siblings, while the younger ones were already terrified and were crying their hearts out.

Seeing the cold, dark vertical pupils in Zhu Xiu's eyes, filled with terrifying rage, he gathered his power again and was about to swing it at Yan Lie, who was struggling to get up.

"Stop!" Bai Wanwan shouted, then, without bothering to change her clothes, grabbed a dress hanging nearby, wrapped it up, and rushed downstairs.

She rushed to the open space like a gust of wind, and before Zhu Xiu's hand could fall, she suddenly hugged his strong waist from behind, using her body to separate him from Yan Lie.

"Zhu Xiu! What are you doing?" She was both anxious and angry, her voice trembling. "Why did you hit me so hard?"

Zhu Xiu felt the familiar, warm body behind him and his movements suddenly froze.

He turned around and saw Bai Wanwan's pale and anxious face. His brows were furrowed, and his deep voice was filled with overwhelming anger: "You're still protecting him?"

“I…” He beat Yan Lie so badly, shouldn’t she protect him?

Xin Feng sighed, "Zhu Xiu was angry with Yan Lie for not knowing how to control himself and forced you to do this all night. You just gave birth." They tacitly approved of it. Yan Lie was impulsive and acted on a whim. If they didn't teach him a lesson, it would be Wanwan who would suffer.

Besides, they already knew that Yan Lie had advanced to the Crimson Rank, and Zhu Xiu hadn't even transformed into his original form, only receiving a minor punishment, so they didn't intervene.

"Cough..." Bai Wanwan didn't expect this reason. Two blushes instantly appeared on her cheeks. She was both embarrassed and anxious.

She looked at Yan Lie, who was lying on the ground not far away, blood still trickling from the corner of his mouth, but giving her a silly smile as if to say "I'm fine," and her heart clenched even tighter.

She quickly shook her head, forgetting all about being shy, and tightened her grip on Zhu Xiu's arm. "It wasn't him who forced me! It was...it was me...it was me who forced him!"

Zhu Xiu's tall frame stiffened abruptly, his movements completely halting. "What did you say?"

His cold, vertical pupils clearly reflected her image, which only made him angrier, thinking that she had said those words on purpose to protect Yan Lie.

Bai Wanwan gently shook Zhu Xiu's hand, softening her voice, "It really was me... The kids all saw it, it scared them to death. As for the specific reason... I'll explain it to you properly later, okay?"

Xin Feng understood; there must be some inside story behind this.

Seeing that Zhu Xiu's expression hadn't improved, he said, "Don't overthink it. Ask Wanwan when you have some free time."

At this moment, Bai Wanwan had already turned around and knelt down next to Yan Lie, helping him up: "Get up quickly, are you badly injured?"

She felt a pang of heartache looking at the bruises and bloodstains on his body.

Yan Lie leaned his tall body against her slender shoulder as if he had found the greatest support. Although he was grimacing in pain, he still tried to force a smile, his voice hoarse but with a hint of coquetry: "It's not serious, it just hurts a little... Wanwan, hug me and give me a kiss and it won't hurt anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Wanwan keenly sensed that the aura around Zhu Xiu behind her instantly turned cold again, and the dangerous red light emanating from his vertical pupils almost materialized.

Yan Lie naturally noticed it too, but he didn't stop, instead tightening his arms around Bai Wanwan's waist.

Bai Wanwan was completely at her wits' end, so she quickly patted Yan Lie's arm secretly as a warning and to comfort him.

Upon receiving the signal, Yan Lie relaxed his grip slightly, his smile widening as if his injuries had vanished.

At this moment, the frightened children, seeing that the fighting had stopped, dared to timidly gather around, led by their older brothers and sisters.

Their eyes were red and swollen from crying, like little rabbits, as they looked worriedly at Yan Lie, the father beast whose mouth was bloody but who was still smiling.

"Father Flame, does it hurt?"

"Father, let me blow on it for you..."

"Father, you're bleeding..."

The cubs' soft, tearful concern warmed Yan Lie's heart, who longed to stay with Bai Wanwan.

Looking at these little ones, whom he had almost personally fed and raised, an indescribable warmth welled up in his eyes.

It wasn't for nothing that I spoiled these little brats; they've learned to care for him now!
He grinned broadly, trying to reassure his cubs, and softened his voice considerably: "Don't be afraid, your father is a Crimson-Rank male! What's the big deal about taking a couple of hits from his own brother? It'll be fine in a bit."
