Chapter 25: Becoming Partners

Bai Di stared at Lin Huanhuan, his blue eyes filled with love.
Lin Huanhuan hurriedly said, “As long as I can save Shuang Yun, I can do anything.”
Bai Di spoke slowly. “I need you to bond with me and Shuang Yun.”
“Huh?”
“After you become mates with me and Shuang Yun, we’ll be a family. You, me, and Shuang Yun will all be bound to each other. After that, I’ll go and pacify the beast spirit in Shuang Yun’s body; this way the chances of success will be greatly increased.”
Lin Huanhuan was shocked by this suggestion.
She had thought of making Bai Di her mate, but she had never thought of getting two males to be her mates.
In her worldview, marriage should be monogamous in order to be fair.
Even in this world where females were rare, she had never thought of having many mates.
But now, Bai Di wanted her to be with two male beasts at once.
She thought this was crazy!
But she couldn’t refuse.
This was because Shuang Yun was still waiting to be saved, and she couldn’t leave him to die.
Bai Di saw the color drain from her face and felt bitter.

He hugged the little female in front of him and said with a bitter smile, “I used to think of ways to stop you from being with other male beasts. I was afraid that someone would snatch you away. I always imagined that I could have you all to myself. But now, I have to give you away. I really feel terrible.”
Lin Huanhuan closed her eyes, her voice trembling as she spoke.
“I agree.”
She would agree to anything to save Shuang Yun.
Bai Di held her tighter. “I’m sorry.”
Lin Huanhuan’s emotions were a mess, but her mind was unexpectedly calm.
“Let’s stop wasting time and get on with it.”
Under normal procedures, the female and male must successfully mate, but with Shuang Yun still unconscious and Bai Di injured, it was clearly unrealistic to complete the mating.
That left one other option.
Bai Di and Shuang Yun’s fingers were cut and their blood was squeezed out. The witch doctor mixed it into the water and handed it to Lin Huanhuan to drink.
Lin Huanhuan also squeezed out some of her blood and mixed it into the water before handing it to Bai Di for him and Shuang Yun.
With a look of utmost devotion, Bai Di carefully picked up the cup and downed every last bit.
Shuang Yun was in a coma and could not drink the water, so Lang Zhu could only help pry open his mouth and force the water in.
In this way, Lin Huanhuan and the two male beasts had reached a mating contract.
Lin Huanhuan looked at the unconscious Shuang Yun and couldn’t help but worry. “Shuang Yun hates females so much. If he wakes up and finds out that he has been forced to be my mate, will he be very angry?”
Bai Di gave her a flat look. “If he despises you, I’ll slaughter him.”
Lin Huanhuan: “…”
She suddenly realized how ferocious the domineering Bai Di was!
Lang Zhu coughed lightly. “Don’t worry, Shuang Yun actually likes you very much. If he finds out that he has become your mate, he’ll definitely be overjoyed!”
Lin Huanhuan recalled Shuang Yun’s usual arrogant appearance and she immediately had reservations about the old witch doctor’s words.
Noticing the worried look on Lin Huanhuan’s face, Bai Di mistook her reaction to the whole mating ritual and explained.
“This method of making a bond using each other’s blood doesn’t last long. It’s usually valid for three months. In three months, if you still haven’t completed the mating with us, the mate bond between us will expire. You’ll be free.”
Lang Zhu also said, “Take it as though these three months are a probation period for them. If you think they’re qualified, keep them and let them be your mates. If you’re not satisfied, dump them.”
Hearing their words, the last bit of anxiety in Lin Huanhuan’s heart disappeared.
Three months… She’d just take it as dating.
Although she would be with two people… Ahem, that was much better than mating directly without any feelings.
After the mate contract was formed, Lin Huanhuan felt more worried.
Especially when she saw Shuang Yun and Bai Di, her gaze would automatically follow them.
She watched Bai Di crouch down and place his palm lightly over Shuang Yun’s arm.
Silver-white light seeped through the gaps between his fingers.
Lin Huanhuan could not help but widen her eyes and hold her breath.
She saw the tiger star pattern on his waist grow rapidly.
The dark blue tattoo of a fierce tiger spread across his entire chest, its sharp fangs, and its athletic posture looked as if it would burst out of Bai Di in the next second. Its blue eyes seemed fierce and cruel, but they were also filled with endless tenderness and vitality.
At the same time, Lin Huanhuan’s heart beat faster.
That was the mate bond at work.
She felt Shuang Yun’s and Bai Di’s hearts beating. She could even feel the rhythm of their breathing and the soul beasts hidden in their bodies.
Finally, Shuang Yun opened his eyes.
The frost on his body had completely dissipated, and he looked no different from before.
It was just that a wolf head tattoo had appeared on his arm. It was silvery white with a silver star beside it.
This was the symbol of a one-starred soul beast.
It meant that Shuang Yun had evolved successfully!
Lang Zhu was so happy that he was about to cry. He rushed up and hugged Shuang Yun. He shouted excitedly, “After waiting for so many years, a soul beast has finally appeared in our Rock Wolf Tribe! If your father is in heaven, he’ll definitely be proud of you!”
Bai Di was injured as well, and it had taken a lot of effort to save Shuang Yun. He looked terrible now.
Lin Huanhuan quickly supported him. “Lie down and rest.”
Bai Di said, “Help me back. I want to go home.”
The word ‘home’ made Lin Huanhuan’s heart soften.
She smiled at him. “Okay.”
The two of them returned home, only to see Mu Xiang and her five male mates.
They had tidied up their messy house.
Lin Huanhuan apologized profusely and Mu Xiang comforted her, before leaving with her five mates.
Bai Di took a small package from the hide pouch he had carried on him. He unwrapped the hide and carefully took out a string of emerald-green Sourcing Leaf Fruits.
“Huanhuan, keep these fruits safe. Take one every day from now on. It’ll be good for your health.”
Lin Huanhuan was so angry that she wanted to throw all of them out!
But she couldn’t bear to do so. After all, Bai Di had risked his life to get them.
She reached for them and accepted them. “Thank you.”
Bai Di stared into her eyes for a long time. “I’m sorry I was so rough with you the other night. I—”
“Stop it.” Lin Huanhuan clenched the Sourcing Leaf Fruits in her hand. “I’ve already forgotten what happened that night. Don’t mention it again.”
Even though she was angry at first, that anger disappeared when she learned that there was a chance he may never return.
Either way, all that mattered was that he was alive.
