Chapter 675 Crisis!

The afterglow of the birth had not yet completely dissipated, and a faint smell of blood still lingered in the air, but more than anything, there was a warm joy and peace brought about by the arrival of a new life.

The three newly hatched eggs were cleaned, wrapped in the softest snow beast skin, and placed next to Bai Wanwan.

Shuanghua sat on the edge of the bed, gently tidying the blankets. Looking at the tiny eggs, a gentle smile appeared on her face. "I rarely see Zhuxiu smile. Look..."

After listening to Aunt Shuang's words, Bai Wanwan looked up and saw the male staring at her with deep eyes, his satisfaction and joy impossible to suppress.

When she looked up, the smile that curved her lips seemed to sweep away all the gloom.

"Wanwan, you've worked hard."

Zhu Xiu walked to the bedside, reached out and gently tucked the stray strands of hair that had fallen across her cheek behind her ear, his fingertips moving with an almost imperceptible tenderness.

As they were talking, the curtain was lifted again, and Jin Yi, Qiu Rong, and Hua Han, who had returned later, squeezed in one after another.

The room suddenly felt a bit crowded, but everyone kept their presence to a minimum, afraid of disturbing the tranquility.

Their gazes quickly swept over the eggs, and then all eyes were immediately and firmly fixed on Bai Wanwan.

Jin Yi silently poured a bowl of warm water, tested the temperature, and handed it to her.

Chief Rong then checked the fire pit in the corner of the house and made the fire burn brighter and warmer.

Hua Han then moved closer to her, his fox-like eyes filled with affection, "Wanwan, does it hurt?"

They surrounded her as if she were a fragile treasure, having just undergone a great ordeal, and requiring their undivided attention and protection.

Bai Wanwan felt their silent care, her heart was warmed, and her physical fatigue seemed to lessen considerably.

"I'm fine, don't worry." She gave them a genuine and happy smile.

Just then, the curtain was lifted again, and Yan Lie walked in, his clothes slightly damp and cool.

With his usual slightly impatient yet radiant smile, he quickly scanned the room before walking straight to the bedside.

"Wanwan." His voice was loud and clear, filled with undisguised concern. He naturally walked around Zhuxiu, sat down on the edge of the bed, stretched out his strong arm, and very familiarly put his arm around Bai Wanwan's shoulder, pulling her closer to him. He looked down at her and asked, "Does it still hurt?"

His actions and tone were exactly the same as usual; that undisguised intimacy and possessiveness were Yan Lie's hallmarks.

Bai Wanwan was already used to his way of expressing himself. Her body relaxed subconsciously, and she obediently leaned into his warm and firm embrace, inhaling his familiar scent, and softly replied, "It's alright..."

However, the instant she finished speaking,

"Top Emergency Alert! Extremely high-risk dark energy detected. Target: 'Flame'!"

The system's sharp, cold alarm rang in her mind like a thunderclap!

Bai Wanwan's body stiffened instantly, her blood seemingly freezing at that moment!
The arm that was around her shoulder, which used to feel familiar in its warmth and touch, now felt like it was being coiled by a venomous snake, chilling her to the bone!

She struggled to control the urge to push him away or scream, her nails digging deep into her palms, using the excruciating pain to maintain a semblance of calm.

The extreme fear caused her body to stiffen uncontrollably and her breathing to stop.

Although she suppressed the urge to push him away and scream with strong willpower, the extremely subtle hesitation was still keenly captured by the fake beast god who was pressed close to her.

His hearty and warm smile was flawless, and he even tightened his arm around her reassuringly, as if giving her strength.

But his head lowered slightly, his lips almost touching her earlobe, and he spoke in a whisper, tinged with an eerie laughter, like a viper flicking its tongue, a sound only the two of them could hear:

"Oh? You've been discovered... What a perceptive little female." The voice was filled with a cat-and-mouse schadenfreude and cruelty. Then, the chilling threat arrived as expected: "Get all those... eyesore males around you, and that female, out of here. Otherwise, I'm not sure if I might accidentally... crush these unhatched eggs."

His gaze swept meaningfully over the newborn eggs beside her.

Bai Wanwan's heart was pounding wildly, almost bursting out of her chest.

A tremendous fear gripped her, but she knew that any slight movement at this moment could enrage the demon and endanger everyone she cared about.

She must stay calm!
She took a deep breath, forced herself to relax, and even deliberately snuggled closer to him, as if seeking protection.

Then, with a voice heavy with exhaustion and hoarseness, he spoke with difficulty to Zhu Xiu, Jin Yi, and the others surrounding him, as well as Shuang Hua, who was tending to the other cubs:
"I...I'm so tired, I want to sleep for a while. You...you all go out first, take Zai Zai out too, and let Yan Lie stay with me."

A moment of silence fell over the room.

Zhu Xiu's deep gaze swept across her somewhat unnatural face.

"Okay, you can rest." Zhu Xiu's voice was deep and steady, without the slightest hint of anything amiss.

He turned around first, gesturing for the others to leave.

Jin Yi followed silently, and Hua Han gave Bai Wanwan a deep look before obediently retreating towards the door.

Seeing Bai Wanwan's tired appearance, Shuanghua assumed that she needed to be alone with her "partner" and left with the other cubs.

The curtain fell, leaving only Bai Wanwan, the fake "Yan Lie," and... for some reason, Zhu Xiu, whose steps were slightly slower, stopped precisely in the shadows inside the doorway.

The fake Beast God frowned almost imperceptibly, and applied a slight pressure to the hand holding Bai Wanwan.

Bai Wanwan had no choice but to speak again, "Zhu Xiu, you too..."

Before she could finish speaking, Zhu Xiu had already turned around, his gaze as sharp as a blade fixed on Yan Lie, his tone carrying an undeniable forcefulness and obvious displeasure.

"What? I am the number one beastman, why should he be allowed to stay?"

A flash of ferocity crossed the fake beast god's eyes.

He didn't want to clash with Zhu Xiu at this moment and expose his identity.

With the external situation uncertain, if we get bogged down, our plans may be disrupted.

"This is Wanwan's decision, isn't it, Wanwan?"

Thinking of the original disgusting appearance of the fake Beast God, now wearing Yan Lie's face, she really wanted to blast him with a laser to prevent him from defiling Yan Lie's handsome face.

But she couldn't. The laser gun had limited damage against the Crimson Rank, and angering him might harm her own cubs and beastmen.

"Wanwan, do you really want me to go out?" Zhu Xiu stared intently at her face.

Bai Wanwan suddenly felt her arm being squeezed tightly.

She winced slightly, but she had no choice but to speak again: "Okay, come see me later."

She has more and more good stuff in her space, so she might be able to get away. There's no need to put the person she loves at risk.

However, the next second, something unexpected happened!
