Chapter 575 What are you nervous about?
After the tribal affairs were initially stabilized, Zhu Xiu, Xin Feng, Yan Lie, and others began to discuss their next steps.

Zhu Xiu sat in the center of the room, his snake-like eyes sweeping over everyone. His voice was deep: "The crisis of the Leopard Clan has been resolved. Wanwan can no longer be overworked. It's time to prepare and send her back to the Tiger Clan to rest and recuperate."

Xin Feng nodded in agreement, his gentle gaze tinged with worry: the outside world was fraught with danger, certainly not as safe as the Tiger Clan.

Although Yan Lie was reluctant, he knew it was the best choice.

His handsome face was full of seriousness: "I will select a group of the most reliable leopard warriors to escort you along the way. I will stay here to ensure everything goes smoothly before returning."

"What are you talking about? I'm definitely going to stay here to give birth this time. I don't want to travel back and forth." Bai Wanwan smiled at them. "With you all here, there won't be any problem with resting here and giving birth."

Her main concern was freeing herself from the control of these leopard-like beastmen before she could leave with peace of mind.

Their conversation was overheard by Hua Han, who had just woken up and came looking for Bai Wanwan.

Hua Han remained silent until their discussion ended.

It was getting late, and seeing that Bai Wanwan insisted on staying, the males had no choice but to give in.

“The controlled orcs have all been captured. The leopard clan is safe now, especially with us by Wanwan’s side. If Wanwan wants to stay, then let her stay,” Xin Feng said.

Yin Ze had no objections and would follow Bai Wanwan's opinion in everything.

Seeing her insistence, Zhu Xiu could only nod in agreement.

Bai Wanwan yawned, and the males sprang into action.

Xin Feng went out to fetch water, while Yan Lie went to make the bed.

It wasn't until Bai Wanwan finished washing up that she realized Hua Han had been silently following behind her the whole time.

She noticed the familiar gaze behind her, shook the water droplets off her hands, and smiled, sunlight dancing on her water-drenched eyelashes: "What's wrong, Hua Han?"

Hua Han quickly stepped forward, took her hand, and felt a slight chill in her fingertips.

“Wanwan, there’s something I want to discuss with you,” he paused, a hint of struggle in his eyes, but ultimately made his decision, “I want to go back to my fox clan tribe first. The situation is serious lately, and I’m worried about my family and clan members.

Bai Wanwan nodded almost without hesitation, "It's only right that you want to go back and visit. Let's go together."

Hua Han immediately shook her head, her brows furrowing slightly. "You're pregnant, you can't travel long distances with me anymore, it's too tiring. Besides, the situation in my tribe is unknown, and there might be danger."

"Do you think I can let you go back alone? If you were normal, I could agree, but you can't even control your own mind right now. If you encounter danger, you won't be able to fight back."

Hua Han had also considered this point.

But he felt that he was conscious for longer periods of time recently, perhaps because his rank was higher.

That force was losing control over him.

If he can hold on a bit, go back and stay sober for a while, let him see the situation clearly and then come back immediately.

Even if he loses consciousness midway, he has instincts and shouldn't encounter too much danger.

"Wanwan, if I'm not sober, I'll hide and act when I'm sober."

Bai Wanwan shook her head again, gently stroking her slightly protruding belly with her other hand, revealing a smile that she tried to reassure Hua Han. "We'll go back with you, it's settled then. Don't worry, I'm different from other females, pregnancy doesn't feel like much of a burden to me. If I let you go alone, what would I do if something happened to you?"

Hua Han never imagined that one day she would hear such words from Wanwan's mouth.

His heart felt like it had stopped beating.

"Wanwan..."

He couldn't resist spreading his long arms and pulling the female into his embrace.

This experience turned out to be a blessing in disguise for him. Although he was often unaware of it, he could clearly feel that Wanwan's feelings for him were gradually deepening.

"Okay." Hua Han finally nodded and held her hand even tighter. "Then let's set off together, Wanwan, I love you."

Bai Wanwan smiled and looked up at him, "Yes, I love you too."

Without further ado, the next morning, just as the sky was beginning to lighten, Bai Wanwan and her group were already packed and ready to set off.

Yunlan held Bai Wanwan's hand, her eyes filled with worry and reluctance: "Wanwan, the journey to the Fox Clan is long, and you're pregnant... Maybe we shouldn't go? Let Yanlie and the others scout ahead first..."

Bai Wanwan grasped Yun Lan's warm hand in return, a reassuring smile spreading across her face: "Mother, don't worry about me. I know my own body; it's strong! I'm just going back with Hua Han to take a look. I'll be back soon!"

"Sigh!" Yunlan sighed, knowing she couldn't dissuade her, so she turned to Yanlie and repeatedly instructed, "Yanlie, you must take good care of Wanwan, and you absolutely cannot let her get tired, do you hear me? If Wanwan loses even a little bit of weight, Mother will punish you when we get back!"

Yan Lie grinned, nodded solemnly, put his arm around Bai Wanwan's shoulder, and assured the mother beast, "Mother, you can rest assured! With all of us here, none of us will let her get tired or suffer. We promise to take good care of her!"

Because Hua Han's lucid moments were very limited and unstable, during his brief lucid moments last night, he had already drawn a rough map of the direction and route to the fox tribe for her on the simple animal skin that Bai Wanwan had brought, based on his memory.

For the first two days of the journey, Hua Han remained in a state of unconsciousness.

Bai Wanwan, Yan Lie, Zhu Xiu, and Xin Feng could only proceed cautiously, using the simple map as a guide.

On the afternoon of the third day, Bai Wanwan, who was lying on Yan Lie's back, felt the little fox in her arms move. She looked down and met a pair of eyes that were slowly opening and were filled with the bewilderment of someone who had just woken up.

"You're awake?" Bai Wanwan called out softly in surprise.

Hua Han shook his somewhat dizzy head, took in his surroundings, and looked at his partner with concern. His memories gradually returned.

He quickly jumped off Yan Lie's back, stretched his stiff body, and transformed into human form.

The procession then came to a stop.

Bai Wanwan took out the animal hide map, moved closer to Hua Han, pointed to the markings on it, and confirmed with him: "Hua Han, take a look, are we going in this direction?"

Hua Han carefully examined the map, then looked up to discern the outlines of the distant mountains, and nodded: "Yes, the direction is correct. When we reach that intersection, we should take the left one..."

His voice was still hoarse from just waking up, but then he belatedly realized something and his expression suddenly tightened.

Bai Wanwan noticed the slight change in his expression, raised an eyebrow, couldn't help but lean closer to him, blinked, and teased with a hint of playfulness, "Hua Han, why do I feel... you seem a little nervous? It's just going back to your own tribe, what's there to be nervous about? Could it be that you have a little female you like?"
