Chapter 77 - Protection

Bai Di looked at him in surprise. “I didn’t expect you to be so thorough.”

Shuang Yun looked up at the distant setting sun. “It’s mainly because I’ve been thinking a lot recently. I have a feeling that Huanhuan is not an ordinary female. Many unusual things will definitely happen to her in the future. We can still protect her now, but what will we do if more powerful enemies appear in the future? Are we going to ignore Huanhuan’s safety because of our selfish desires?”

At this moment, Shuang Yun was no longer as arrogant as before. He looked especially mature and steady.

1

He was just a little awkward when it came to relationships, but when it came to scheming, he was no inferior to anyone.

After all, he was the leader of the tribe. If he was stupid, how could he convince the masses?!

Shuang Yun seemed to make up his mind about something and clenched his fists.

“Nothing is more important than Huanhuan’s safety. As long as she’s safe, I can accept other male beasts sharing her.”

1

With that, he walked away without looking back.

Bai Di pursed his lips and slowly closed his fingers. The ring on his ring finger was clenched tightly.

Huanhuan had many secrets, and even though Bai Di and Shuang Yun didn’t say much, they both knew that their little female was not simple.

Whether it was the sheepskin book in her hand, the knowledge she knew, or the Divine Wood seed in her body…

She was like a tempting treasure. Once exposed, there would definitely be a bloodbath.

Bai Di was confident in his strength, but he knew his limits. If they were just ordinary enemies, he and Shuang Yun could deal with them. However, there would always be someone stronger than them.

Not to mention, just those four and five-starred soul beasts were enough to make them suffer.

With just him and Shuang Yun alone, there was no way they could ensure that nothing would go wrong.

They needed more help.

Bai Di gradually calmed down. There was no longer any struggle or hesitation in his blue eyes. There was only determination.

Nothing was more important than Huanhuan’s safety.

He lowered his head and kissed the principal ring on his ring finger.

‘Huanhuan, we’ll definitely protect you well!’

…

When Bai Di returned home, he saw Huanhuan cutting meat in the kitchen.

He walked over and took her right hand.

“I’ll do it.”

Lin Huanhuan immediately turned around and was surprised to see Bai Di standing behind her.

He took the bone knife from her, then began to cut the meat efficiently.

Lin Huanhuan looked at his side profile. “Where did you go? Why did you only come back now?”

Bai Di said casually, “I went to look at the vegetable fields and feed the fish and prawns in the pond.”

“Are you still angry?”

“No, I’ll never be angry with you,” Bai Di said without looking up. “I was selfish before and didn’t want you to accept other beasts. Seeing how much you care about Sang Ye, I took it personally and ran to the vegetable field to calm down.”

Lin Huanhuan did not know what to say.

Bai Di continued, “Actually, three mates isn’t a lot at all. In fact, it’s very few. I have no reason to stop you from seeing Sang Ye.”

Huanhuan thought that he was still angry and quickly explained, “I don’t want three mates. I have you and Shuang Yun. Sang Ye is injured, so I asked him to stay and recuperate. It’s not what you think.”

“Whatever it is, we’ll do as you say.” Bai Di pushed the cut meat aside and prepared to light the fire. “There’s a lot of smoke and oil in here. Don’t stand here anymore and get out.”

However, Lin Huanhuan suddenly hugged his neck and looked at him ingratiatingly.

“After I give birth to Shuang Yun’s children, I’ll give birth to your children. Don’t be unhappy.”

Bai Di paused.

He stared at Huanhuan for a long moment before he realized what was going on. His blue eyes moved, and a helpless expression appeared on his handsome face.

He hugged her gently. “You don’t have to do this. Whether we have children or not, you’re the only mate I’ll ever have.”

“But you’re unhappy. I want to cheer you up.”

“I’m not upset. I’m just sulking.” His gaze was gentle. “I’m over it now. You don’t have to worry about me anymore.”

Lin Huanhuan observed his expression carefully. Seeing that he was really showing no signs of anger, she was slightly relieved.

She promised solemnly, “Don’t worry, I promise not to mate with other male beasts. After Sang Ye recovers, I’ll make things clear with him and send him home.”

However, Bai Di said, “There’s no hurry to send him away. After all, he saved you before. Let him stay for a while.”

Huanhuan was very surprised. “Y-You’re serious?”

“Mhm.”

Huanhuan still felt that Bai Di’s attitude was too strange. He was so against Sang Ye before, but why had his attitude toward Sang Ye changed in just an afternoon? This was too magical!

Bai Di didn’t comment on her confusion.

His little female didn’t need to know the tedious things. She just needed to be happy and safe every day.

He would take care of the rest for her.

…

In the evening, the four of them ate around the table.

Bai Di and Huanhuan had made up. The relationship between the two of them had become closer.

She told him why Sang Ye had attacked the young birds.

When Shuang Yun heard that those hatchlings actually dared to steal from the vegetable field’s fruit forest, he was immediately furious. “I knew those bird people were not good people. I’ll bring a few others with me to chase them away from the mountaintop later!”

Lin Huanhuan said slowly, “Didn’t you bring people to the top of the mountain earlier? How did it go with the leader of the feather tribe?”

“The leader of the feather tribe is injured. He didn’t show his face at all.”

“Huh?” Lin Huanhuan was very surprised.

“They said they’ll talk to us after their leader has recovered.”

Lin Huanhuan asked, “Before the leader of the feather tribe recovers, do they plan to stay on the mountaintop?”

“Looks like it.” He scooped some meat into her bowl. “You’re pregnant. Eat more meat.”

Lin Huanhuan’s appetite had been increasing recently. In the past, a palm-sized piece of meat and some vegetables would be enough to fill her up. Now, she could eat three large pieces of meat and two large bowls of vegetables in one go.

It seemed that her appetite had grown exponentially. If she ate so much, she would definitely be fat even after she gave birth!

For a moment, Shuang Yun forgot to be angry at the birds. He quickly pushed the meat in front of Huanhuan. “Eat more. If it’s not enough, we still have more. Don’t starve our children.”

“It’s enough. I can’t eat anymore.”

“Nonsense. You haven’t eaten half as much as I did. Eat more.”

Lin Huanhuan was speechless. In the past, she only had a tenth of Shuang Yun’s appetite. Now, her appetite was almost half of his. If she continued to eat like this, she would really become as fat as a pig!

However, Bai Di and Shuang Yun felt that she was not fat at all. Even if she was fat, she would still be cute. She did not need to diet at all.
