Chapter 684, First Challenge!
An incredibly familiar resonance and pull, originating from the depths of his blood, instantly assaulted his senses like a surging tide!
The aura was pure and powerful, carrying the depth of the sea and his unique bloodline, and even more so... a trace of the warm aura that haunted his dreams, belonging to Wanwan!
This is... his and Wanwan's cub!
They actually... they actually already have cubs!
A tremendous, unbelievable ecstasy swept over him like a tsunami, instantly washing away all his bitterness and sorrow.
Those once dull and lifeless blue eyes suddenly burst forth with a light more dazzling than the stars.
He could barely control his emotions; his body trembled slightly with extreme excitement, as if being pulled by invisible threads. He approached Hua Han step by step, extremely slowly.
Her eyes were filled with disbelief and trepidation, as if she were afraid that if she breathed too heavily, the beautiful, dreamlike scene before her would shatter and disappear.
Until he stood truly before Hua Han, close enough to feel the warmth emanating from the cub, a mixture of milky scent and the scent of his own blood.
He reached out with trembling hands, his fingertips slightly damp and cool, and touched one of the cubs' soft cheeks very gently and tentatively.
It's real! Warm! The delicate touch is like an electric current instantly coursing through your body from your fingertips!
All this is true!
He and Wanwan really did have a litter of cubs of their own!
An overwhelming sense of happiness, like a warm current, instantly broke down all his psychological defenses, making his eyes well up with tears.
Hua Han looked at him, so cautious, as if in a dream, and so excited he could hardly contain himself.
She raised an eyebrow, a hint of genuine envy flickering in her alluring peach blossom eyes. Her tone was teasing yet sincere: "Jiaoyin, Wanwan really has it all for you. You haven't even been by her side yet, and she's already given birth to such a healthy and strong litter for you. And look at me..."
There was a hint of resentment in his voice, "After being by her side for so long, I still don't have a litter of my own."
Jiaoyin finally managed to tear her gaze away from the cub and look at Huahan.
The somewhat silly, ecstatic smile on his face faded slightly.
He forced a smile, suppressing his inner joy: "Cough...maybe it's just a matter of timing. If Wanwan didn't like you, she would never let you become her beastly husband. Look at me..."
He chuckled self-deprecatingly, his unfinished words filled with melancholy, "It's just that I never had the chance."
Looking at him like this, Hua Han, unusually abandoning her usual carefree attitude, sighed softly, her tone carrying a hint of guidance: "Since you can understand how I became Wanwan's beast husband, why can't you see through it when it comes to yourself? Since Wanwan is willing to bear this litter of cubs for you, she must care about you to some extent. Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing here so calmly."
"really?"
A faint but bright light suddenly burst forth in his dull eyes, as if he had grasped at a straw, yet dared not hold too much hope, for fear of being disappointed again.
"Whether it's true or not, why don't you go and ask her yourself?"
Hua Han smiled encouragingly at him and carefully adjusted the position of the cub in her arms. "Go, go find Wanwan. The cubs are your greatest courage and confidence right now."
Hua Han's words were like a lamp lit for him in the darkness, and the real touch of the cub in his arms and the blood-related aura gave him unprecedented strength.
He looked at Hua Han deeply, his eyes filled with gratitude: "Thank you, Hua Han."
"Go ahead," Hua Han nodded with a smile.
Watching Jiaoyin take a deep breath, turn around, and resolutely walk back towards the house, Hua Han thought to herself: This is all I can do to help. As for whether it will succeed... it's really hard to say. After all, their Wanwan is different from all the other females on this continent.
When Jiaoyin entered the house again, Zhuxiu, Qiurong, Yanlie, and several other injured males were still sitting in the same spot.
He could clearly sense the territorial instincts of a powerful male permeating the air.
If he insists on staying, he is prepared to be harassed or even expelled.
However, to his surprise, Zhu Xiu and Qiu Rong, who were sitting in the main seats, merely glanced at him indifferently. Although their faces did not show any welcome, they did not say anything to stop or drive him away.
Zhu Xiu simply turned his gaze back to the fire pit, as if acknowledging his presence.
Xin Feng smiled at him in a friendly manner and took the initiative to break the slightly awkward atmosphere: "Hua Han showed you the baby?"
When the cubs were mentioned, a gentle and warm smile unconsciously appeared on Jiaoyin's face. It was a joy and pride of becoming a father for the first time, which eased the worry between his brows.
“Hmm,” he nodded, his gaze unconsciously drifting towards the inner room, “I…I want to see Wanwan.”
“She went inside to see her father, the chief of the Jiaoyuan clan,” Xin Feng told him gently. “You can go in to find her, or you can wait for her to come out here.”
Several of her beastly husbands sat in the hall, their eyes piercing.
Jiaoyin had a lot to say, a lot of emotions and questions that had been suppressed in her heart for a long time, and she only wanted to tell Bai Wanwan alone.
He felt restrained and uncomfortable in their presence.
“Okay, I’ll go in and find her. Thank you.” Without further hesitation, he nodded to Xin Feng and the other men who tacitly agreed, and then strode into the inner room.
As Jiaoyin's figure disappeared behind the curtain, the atmosphere in the living room subtly shifted.
Yan Lie pouted helplessly and simply faced the wall to compose himself.
Hua Han, holding the cub, lazily sat back down by the window.
Zhu Xiu and Qiu Rong exchanged a glance.
Even deep down, no one would genuinely want to share their beloved female with more males; it's a male instinct.
But they all knew that since Wanwan was willing to give birth to Jiaoyin's cub and did not allow them to harm Jiaoyin after that incident, it was already a tacit consent.
Moreover, after this great battle, they realized more deeply that the tribe needed more powerful forces and a more stable alliance.
The merfolk behind Jiaoyin, as well as his own strength, are undeniable sources of support.
In order to ensure that Wanwan and her cubs can live better and safer in the face of potentially more severe challenges in the future, they are willing to suppress their possessiveness and work together to protect her and her cubs.
Jiaoyin could feel the men's gazes, which seemed almost tangible, fixed on her back, but they did not come to stop her.
His tense lips relaxed, which meant he had passed the first hurdle!
