Even though inter-species marriage among the clans in the Beast World has long been common, expanding the range of choices often means more and better options. But initially, most Beastmen still preferred to marry within their own clan because they were more compatible and it was easier to reproduce.

Secondly, they might choose Beastmen who, although not of the same clan, belonged to the same broad category.

For example, Lu Xiao’s parents were one a Hawk and the other a Golden Feathered Roc, both mighty and large members of the Feather Clan, and less than half a year together, they had Lu Xiao.

Xue Yinzhou didn’t care much about offspring, but he longed for a more harmonious intimacy with his partner and cared more about her feelings. He once thought that if Tangtang were a female of the Snake Clan, it would be ideal, but there is no such thing as perfection in the world. Being able to have her is his greatest fortune in this life.

So usually, like Lu Xiao, Xue Yinzhou was rather indifferent to matters of affection and tolerated Xiao Jin somewhat. But when it came to the female’s mating season, that was another story. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He wanted to possess more of her during this brief and precious time.

Not killing Xiao Jin outright was already being considerate of Shen Tang’s feelings.

Otherwise, with the cold and ruthless nature of the Snake Beast, he wouldn’t be willing to share his partner with any male.

At this moment, the female was moist and accommodating; he didn’t even need to fully transform into human form to be so closely intimate with her, letting out a satisfied and long sigh.

Shen Tang only hummed softly twice, then looked at him with big, watery eyes. A low chuckle rolled from Xue Yinzhou’s throat as he covered her eyes with his hand and lowered his head to kiss her lips again.

In the cave, it was especially quiet for a time, only the intertwined breathing and the occasional ambiguous sounds remained. The gentle moonlight softly spilled in, and Shen Tang seemed a bit uncomfortable, perhaps poked by a stone under the bedding, and hummed softly again.

So Xue Yinzhou turned over, letting her lie on top of him, gently smoothing her hair, "Does this feel better?"

He wasn’t impatient by nature, perhaps related to the traits of the Snake Beast species. In fact, Shen Tang quite enjoyed doing this with him. She looked at the handsome and cool man beneath her, feeling a sudden itch in her heart, slowly taking back the initiative.

Xue Yinzhou’s expression turned somewhat surprised.

Soon, he narrowed his eyes, his long fingers threading through her hair, gently combing.

The little female was unexpectedly passionate and proactive.

He found it curious and stopped moving, letting her explore at her own pace.

His palm, though, rested on her waist, gradually applying pressure.

Before long, Shen Tang let out a muffled groan, as if she suddenly lost strength.

Xue Yinzhou then turned over once more, pressing her beneath him again.

Shen Tang was like a piece of floating duckweed, rising and falling with the wind and waves.

When she was close to being unable to cope, she would softly moan with discomfort.

Each time, Xue Yinzhou would gently kiss her.

Outside the cave, as dawn broke and the sky turned from dark to light and back again, over and over.

Only after a long time did the activity inside the cave gradually calm down.

In the end, Xue Yinzhou took pity on her body, leaving halfway through to catch a plump wild animal so she wouldn’t go hungry.

After a satisfying meal, Shen Tang lay contentedly on top of him, reflecting on the past few days of intimacy, feeling it was both sweet and absurd, yet undeniably, her body and mind were immensely satisfied~

She gently kissed him on the lips.

Such an unconscious small action made the Snake Beast’s cool and handsome face spread with a smile. He touched her round and full belly, his gaze deepening.

Shen Tang’s mind became clearer, suddenly remembering something, and exclaimed, "Could I be..."

Xue Yinzhou knew what she was worried about and said decisively, "Don’t be afraid, you won’t be."

Shen Tang wrapped her arms around his neck, looking at him curiously, her rosy lips slightly pouting, "How can you be so sure?"

He didn’t seem too happy?

Weren’t males in the Beast World particularly fond of children? Even if she really were pregnant, she felt he might not be very happy either.

Shen Tang had deep feelings with her Beast Husbands and had thought about children. Honestly, she didn’t dislike cubs, but she wasn’t prepared yet, and besides, there were more important things to focus on at the moment, so she didn’t have the mood to consider these things.

Oh, people really shouldn’t just seek momentary pleasure, only to regret it when they clear their head!

But she had been with her Beast Husbands for two or three years and really couldn’t keep avoiding this issue.

Xue Yinzhou comforted, "I took medicine, you won’t get pregnant."

"What?" Shen Tang opened her eyes wide in shock, "Why didn’t any of you tell me? Where did the medicine come from?"

"Lu Xiao gave it. Sometimes he mixes it into the food, but during your mating season, I ask him for it directly."

Shen Tang was completely stunned, too shocked to speak.
