CHAPTER 232: CHAPTER 223 DADDY IS BAI FENG_1

The little snake Beastman looked at Si Yan with a hint of worry as well.

The young female is too small. If such a young female continues to stay in this environment, she might catch a cold and develop a fever, he thought.

However, just as he was worrying, the snake Beastman’s hackles rose. He abruptly turned his head to look toward the curtain of rain.

Following She Wang’s gaze, Si Yan saw a white eagle male, exuding warmth, slowly walking through the rain.

"Bai Feng!!"

The white eagle male, as white as snow, appeared amidst the rain, yet seemed to be under some magical protection, not a single drop of rain on him.

He lowered his head to look inside the cabin, not surprised to see the little snake Beastman there.

She Wang was very clear that this white eagle Beastman did not like him.

Then he looked at Si Yan and said gently, "Have you been waiting long?"

Si Yan replied, "Yes, it’s been quite a while."

The white eagle Beastman chuckled.

"Did you make a new friend?" Bai Feng asked.

Si Yan nodded and asked, "Can I let him stay in White Eagle City? The next two months will be disastrous. I fear he won’t survive out there."

Bai Feng said, "It’s fine for him to take refuge in White Eagle City. Just don’t bring him home."

Si Yan was taken aback.

Bai Feng glanced at She Wang and said, "Si Yan, you’re still a young girl. Though the status of females in this world is higher than that of males, you still need to learn to protect yourself. This snake..."

He hinted strongly, "is a stray snake Beastman."

She Wang’s body tensed immediately.

In the Beast World, a stray snake Beastman almost always meant one who would steal females from other races—a very dangerous sort of snake Beastman.

And in Bai Feng’s eyes, one could clearly see a darkness lingering behind this stray snake Beastman.

Currently, in his eyes, there lingers an afterimage of Si Yan. He has intentions towards Si Yan. That means danger, Bai Feng thought.

Si Yan lifted her head, her gaze firm. This was the first time she had opposed Bai Feng.

She said, "Bai Feng, She Wang is not dangerous!"

Bai Feng was stunned. Si Yan... she seemed a bit different now, he thought.

Si Yan continued, "During the earthquake, it was he who saved me. He also led me to run and hide. If it hadn’t been for him when we were under the tree hollow, I would have fallen into the crack."

"Bai Feng, he saved me. He isn’t dangerous; he’s not a bad person!!"

She Wang looked at Si Yan, surprised.

I’m not a bad person? After living for so many years, this is the first time someone has described me like this, he mused.

Hearing Si Yan put it this way, Bai Feng looked at She Wang again, this time his gaze lingering longer.

His piercing eyes stared at him.

The little snake Beastman met Bai Feng’s gaze without fear. He vaguely felt that he and Bai Feng were destined rivals. Facing him, he absolutely could not look away or show weakness!

Bai Feng furrowed his brow.

This little snake Beastman is extraordinary; even I cannot completely see through him. But two things are certain: his past and future are shrouded in darkness; he’s a cold-blooded snake Beastman who crawled out from hell. Moreover, his destiny has already intersected with Si Yan’s. He harbors intentions toward her, and the likelihood of him stealing Si Yan away in the future is very high. Si Yan is wrong; he is very dangerous. Extremely dangerous.

Yet now, Si Yan is fiercely defensive of him. I know I have to protect her, which is why I’ve been restraining her since she was very young, personally teaching her. For so many years, she has been very dependent on, even trusting of, me. I clearly taught her that when making friends, one should take the proper path and not casually bring home a Beastman picked up from outside. Many of the Beastmen from outside are wandering, cold-blooded ones—very dangerous for her, a very cute little female. Yet this time, not only has she defied me, she even seems to be attempting to confront me, Bai Feng continued to ponder, his brows knitting slightly.

His gaze toward She Wang grew even more displeased.

Seeing the tension between the two, Si Yan didn’t want things to continue like this.

"Little Snake, why don’t you just stay in this little wooden cabin of mine? I’ll come to see you often."

The little snake Beastman looked at Si Yan.

It’s clearly impossible for a wandering, cold-blooded snake Beastman like me to live in a young female’s home. Being allowed to stay in White Eagle City, even being given a place to shelter from the wind and rain, is already very good, he thought.

He nodded at Si Yan. "Okay."

Bai Feng shifted his gaze away, turned around, and transformed into his beast form.

The little black cat smirked triumphantly at the little snake Beastman, but then, feeling it wasn’t quite right, gave a more normal smile. After all, we shared field mice, crabs, and radishes together. It wouldn’t be right to overdo it,

the little black cat thought.

The little cat leaped onto Si Yan.

Si Yan hugged the little black cat and climbed onto the back of Bai Feng, who had already transformed.

Even on stormy days, this white eagle Beastman feared the downpour not at all, soaring in the sky just as he usually did.

Having crossed that deep rift in the earth, Si Yan arrived at Bai Feng’s dwelling.

Si Yan sensed that Bai Feng’s mood was different from usual, and she felt a slight apprehension.

The White Eagle High Priest returned to his seat, staring directly at her.

Faced with this stern expression, Si Yan quickly said, "I feel a bit cold. I’ll go change my clothes first."

"Stop," Bai Feng said.

Si Yan stopped in her tracks.

The little black cat looked on at Si Yan as if watching an amusing spectacle.

Bai Feng said sternly, "Do you realize what you did wrong?"

Si Yan: "..."

She turned around, her attitude very sincere. "I understand. I shouldn’t make friends carelessly, and I definitely shouldn’t think about bringing a Beastman home."

Bai Feng rubbed his head, a bit helpless. "That’s not it."

"Then what is it?" Si Yan asked, surprised.

"Si Yan. You knew an earthquake was coming, yet you left the tree hole alone in the middle of the night and even ran to such a far-off place."

"You are a female. Do you understand how dangerous that was?"

Si Yan explained, "But I went to a place I often go to."

"Si Yan."

Si Yan admitted her fault with a particularly good attitude. "I know I was wrong. I will definitely take care of myself in the future and not do dangerous things."

I actually understand Bai Feng quite well. In my memory, he raised me bit by bit. He always had my best interests at heart, and I understood the things he said and the reasoning behind them. He wasn’t the type of male who would spoil me without any consideration just because he cared about me. He would teach me and restrain me. He was the kind of "dad" who, because he cared, would plan deeply for my future... That’s why, when Bai Feng once casually mentioned that he hoped our relationship would remain equitable—because I was the one and only peach blossom in his life and might become his future Mistress—I actually felt a bit embarrassed. I’m not very old, and I really do see him as an elder. Besides, a "dad"-type Beast Husband? I might not be able to handle that, Si Yan thought.
