When Bai Di was finally done, Lin Huanhuan was so tired that she was about to collapse.

He cleaned her, then lay down next to her and kissed her forehead. “It’s been hard on you.”

Lin Huanhuan ignored him and closed her eyes to sleep.

She didn’t know how long she slept until Bai Di finally woke her up.

Bai Di brought the hot broth to her mouth. “Get up and eat something before you go back to sleep,” he said gently.

Lin Huanhuan drank the entire bowl of meat soup.

After eating something, Lin Huanhuan’s spirits improved.

Bai Di untied the hide skirt at his waist.

Lin Huanhuan’s eyes seemed to have been scalded. She hurriedly covered her eyes and said with a red face, “Why did you take off your clothes without a word? Shameless!”

Bai Di looked at her helplessly. “I want you to see the star pattern on my waist.”

Lin Huanhuan: “…”

She had misunderstood him.

She coughed and lowered her hands awkwardly.

She looked closer and saw that the tiger tattoo on his waist had indeed changed slightly.

There was a circle of th.o.r.n.y vines on the tiger’s head. At first glance, it looked like a crown of thorns for the tiger.

Hey, it looked pretty good!

Lin Huanhuan blinked. “How did this ring of thorns appear?”

“It appeared the night we mated. And I realized that after it appeared, the beast soul in me showed faint signs of upgrading.”

Lin Huanhuan’s eyes widened in surprise. “Is this a coincidence?”

“At first, I thought it was a coincidence too, but last night, I paid special attention and realized that when we were mating, the soul beast in my body would become especially excited. After that, I communicated with the soul beast and learned that there was something in your body that emitted strange energy. The soul beast likes that power very much. It can make the soul beast stronger.”

Lin Huanhuan looked confused. “Why didn’t I know that I had such a magical thing in my body?”

Bai Di thought back carefully. “That thing has a faint scent of vegetation. It’s hidden inside you.”

Vegetation scent? Lin Huanhuan immediately remembered and blurted out, “It’s that Divine Wood seed!”

“The Divine Wood?” Bai Di said thoughtfully. “It’s a divine item that exists in legends. It’s said to be the source of all wood. When it grows to a certain extent, it can become the heart of nature. Beastmen with the heart of nature can obtain the favor of G.o.ds and advance to become demiG.o.ds.”

Lin Huanhuan was shocked.

A demiG.o.d? That sounded awesome!

Bai Di asked, “Can you tell me how you got that Divine Wood seed?”

Lin Huanhuan avoided his gaze and stammered, “Someone gave it to me.”

“Who’s it from?”

“An old friend. You don’t know them.”

Seeing how she was avoiding him, Bai Di knew that she was unwilling to tell him, so he stopped asking. Instead, he said to her seriously, “The heart of nature is very tempting to beasts. You can’t let anyone know that you have the seed of the Divine Wood in your body, or you’ll be killed.”

Lin Huanhuan was shocked. Was the matter that serious?!

Bai Di stared at her. “Remember what I said?”

Lin Huanhuan nodded quickly. “I remember.”

She paused, then asked, “Can I tell Shuang Yun about this?”

“Don’t tell him yet. Tell him when he finds out and comes to ask you about it.”

“Okay.”

If mating would cause the star patterns to change, then there was no way the matter of the Divine Wood seed could be hidden from Shuang Yun unless he never mated with Huanhuan.

That, of course, was impossible.

Hence, Bai Di had chosen to go with the flow. She wouldn’t hide it from Shuang Yun, but she wouldn’t confess to it either.

Lin Huanhuan thought for a moment. “Actually, the Divine Wood seed in my body is a dead seed. It can’t sprout and grow, so it’s impossible for it to become the heart of nature.”

It was only because the seed was dead that the system was willing to give it to her easily.

“Even a dead seed is a very rare treasure,” Bai Di said.

Just the fact that it could strengthen soul beasts was enough to make countless soul beasts chase after it.

Lin Huanhuan touched her abdomen. She did not expect the seed given by the system to be so awesome.

A man’s wealth was his own ruin. She hoped this little thing wouldn’t cause her any trouble.

…

She’d mated with Bai Di twice in a row, and she hadn’t taken any contraception. Although she wasn’t ovulating, she was still a little worried about getting pregnant.

She was too embarra.s.sed to tell Bai Di about this, so she could only sneak to Mu Xiang for advice.

Mu Xiang heard her confusion and asked, “Did Bai Di mate with you in his beast form or his human form?”

Lin Huanhuan said slowly, “In human form, of course.”

Bai Di’s human form was shocking enough. If he was in beast form, wouldn’t she be pierced through?!

Mu Xiang said, “A male can only successfully mate with a female when he’s in his beast form. If Bai Di is in human form, you definitely won’t be able to conceive.”

Lin Huanhuan didn’t understand the principle behind this, but the beast world couldn’t be measured by scientific standards, so she quickly accepted this seemingly magical rule.

She was relieved. ‘I’m glad I won’t get pregnant.’

She wasn’t even ready to be a mother yet. If she suddenly had children, she would definitely be shocked.

Mu Xiang encouraged her. “If you want to have children, you have to work harder. Winter is almost over. Winter is the best time to have babies. It only happens once a year. Don’t miss it!”

Although Mu Xiang was a little disappointed that Huanhuan’s first mating experience was not with a wolf, it did not matter. They were still young anyway. Huanhuan would definitely give birth to many wolf cubs for Shuang Yun in the future.

Lin Huanhuan thought to herself that it was best to wait until next winter to get pregnant.

A year should be enough time for her to be ready to be a mother.

Time pa.s.sed day by day. Every day, whenever Lin Huanhuan was free, she would look at the cave entrance and look forward to Shuang Yun’s return.

The days gradually warmed. The ice and snow outside the cave began to melt.

It marked the end of winter.

At this moment, Shuang Yun finally returned!

He led the Rock Wolf Tribe beasts back into the cave. Many of them were injured, but they could not hide their joy at the victory.

They brought back a lot of food and hides. Some of them were s.n.a.t.c.hed from the rock mountain by the Black River Wolf Tribe, while the rest were s.n.a.t.c.hed from the Black River Wolf Tribe by Shuang Yun and the others. The harvest was very rich.

Lin Huanhuan threw herself into Shuang Yun’s arms excitedly. Her eyes were red. “You’re finally back!”

Shuang Yun was very happy to see the little female throw herself at him.

But when he smelled the little female, his expression changed.
