The Wicked Female and Her Eight Beastmen Mates: Pregnant From Day One - CHAPTER 4

Bafeng carried her back to the cave

Seeing the familiar surroundings, Bai Yue pouted and wondered why she was back here again.

Was she supposed to be stuck in this tiny space every day? She was going to go crazy if this kept up

In her modern life, she loved staying home but that was her choice. This felt completely different

Bafeng gently set her on the stone bed. For the first time, he spoke to explain.

The shaman went to the Misty Forest. He isn’t here, and he told me not to let you wander off

Bai Yue cursed silently. Useless man stuffed himself full and ran off. Not even human

Then why don’t you just follow me she asked, already plotting her next move

Bafeng froze. Follow you

Yes

Do you know what that means His lips pressed together

Only the mate of a female could follow her everywhere. It was protection, yes but also a warning

Of course I know Bai Yue rolled her eyes. Isn’t that just being a bodyguard? Stop talking so much

Bafeng fell silent, trying to figure out if she was serious or teasing him. Her expression was far too sincere to fake

How could someone’s personality change so much in a single day

He recalled the shaman’s instructions and decided not to overthink it

After a pause, Bai Yue looked up and asked if he didn’t want to

Bafeng’s complicated gaze softened. I do. As long as you won’t regret it

What’s there to regret she said confidently. I, Bai Yue, never break my word

Only as a beastman he corrected gently. She repeated herself precisely

A faint rune appeared beneath their feet, unnoticed by Bai Yue

Wait here for me. The rune glowed faintly. I’ll be back in a moment

Bafeng’s cave was just below the shaman’s, less than a minute’s walk

Bai Yue nodded. Fine. Go ahead

In the blink of an eye, he was gone, moving like the wind

Bai Yue gaped. This was the first time she truly felt the difference between beastmen and humans

When she turned to inspect the reward the system had given her, Bafeng returned just as fast

Luckily, she hadn’t moved too quickly otherwise, her small secret space would have been exposed

Here

The slightly disheveled male held out several stones, each a different color, glittering like tiny treasures

Bai Yue picked up a green one. Small, like a quail egg, it seemed to contain swirling green liquid that moved when she shook it

Spirit stones Bafeng said

Spirit stones Bai Yue gasped

These were priceless. In novels, heroines struggled for countless chapters to obtain even one.

In the beastman world, spirit stones were incredibly rareonly found in the bodies of wild beasts in the

Misty Forest. They could be used internally to awaken abilities or heal, or externally to enhance a beastman’s power

Bai Yue’s eyes sparkled as she grabbed all of them. If they were given to her, they were hers

An apology Bafeng said simply

For what she blinked

For scaring you earlier he replied. I never intended to burn you

That’s it? Bai Yue barely flinched. She even patted his shoulder. I understand.

I’d be worried if you didn’t care enough not to burn me

In the original story, Bafeng had been the shaman’s most loyal follower locking

the original heroine in a water prison and nearly burning her alive

Bafeng frowned. He had expected a very different reaction to his apology

Having never explained himself to a female before, he didn’t know what to say next. So he stayed silent

Bai Yue’s attention was completely absorbed by the stones. She didn’t even notice his unease.

After a while, she gave him a polite dismissal

Anything else to say she asked, holding the stones

No he said dryly

Then can you leave for a bit? I want to study them myself

Bafeng rose, slightly deflated at being abandoned again. After a few simple instructions,

he left the cave, taking his place at the entrance like a statue, as he had countless nights before

Inside, Bai Yue spread the five stones across the stone bed and summoned the system

I’m here, Host it replied instantly

Scan these stones. Can I use them Her excitement leaked into her words she had longed to awaken an ability

Okay, give me a moment. The system scanned the stones, and information flooded her mind

Three green fourth-tier stones, one blue fifth-tier stone, one purple seventh-tier stone

Beastmen can only use stones of their own tier or lower. Using higher-tier stones causes backlash and

a lust-inducing effect, recommended only with a mate present

Bai Yue’s excitement immediately deflated. Of course.

Everything in the beastman world somehow tied back to reproduction

She carefully placed all five stones into her pocket dimension

Does the space have time she asked

No. Time is frozen inside the space

Perfect. That meant nothing she stored there would ever degrade

After wandering outside earlier, she was exhausted. A quick foot wash later,

she collapsed onto the stone bed and drifted into a deep sleep.

She even thought, I need to make shoes someday running barefoot all the time will turn my feet into duck pads

The moment her breathing evened out, Bafeng at the cave entrance sensed it.

Beastmen had extraordinary senses, and those with abilities could detect every movement within several kilometers

As the sunset painted the sky red, Snow carried food up the mountain toward the cave.

Halfway there, she was suddenly blocked by a female stranger

You must be Xue
