Bai Wanwan threw herself into his arms and nuzzled his shoulder. "I'm so glad to see you're both safe."
Xin Feng stroked her soft hair and said in a low voice, "It's all thanks to Zhu Xiu this time."
Bai Wanwan turned slightly to look at the motionless, coiled King Cobra.
She didn't really know Zhu Xiu at all. She'd guessed he was powerful, but she had never imagined he could escape completely unscathed alongside Xin Feng, especially when surrounded by so many Wandering Beasts.
"Are the cubs behaving? Have they been kicking you?"
His voice, like the melting of pristine white snow, instantly pulled her attention back to him.
She smiled, looking down to stroke her swelling belly.
"They haven't been giving me much trouble. It's just that this pregnancy is more tiring than the last one."
"Then you should get some rest. Zhu Xiu and I are here to watch over you now, so you can relax and focus on your pregnancy."
As he spoke, he bent down and scooped her into his arms.
