Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 130 - 129: I’m Worried About My Gong You

Ji Liang nodded with a gloating smile. "That’s right, number five. So, Xiao Shisi, you’d better get in line and see if you can even make it as number six!"

Besides, this fifth one had a deep history with Xiao Shisi. ’Heh, I wonder what kind of look Xiao Shisi will have on his face when he sees Yin Jiang. The very thought of it makes me feel better.’

Xiao Cheng was an easy-going person. As long as Si Shuo agreed to accept him, nothing else mattered.

Smiling, he immediately sat down next to Si Shuo and pressed two Bone Rings into her hand. "The Winged Dragon Clan is full of tyrants, so they’ve acquired a lot of good stuff. It’s all in these Storage Rings."

"Go on, open them up and take a look."

Storage Rings were extremely rare on the Central Continent, typically passed down from one generation to the next. In any case, they had never heard of anyone who could craft them.

Only a select few from the major families, who were lavished with resources, might possibly own one, and even then, the space inside wouldn’t be very large.

Si Shuo looked at the two Bone Rings, one red and one black. Grasping one, she closed her eyes to sense what was inside. It was a space of a hundred square meters. Half of it was piled high with beautiful, exceptionally high-quality Beast Skins. Another large section was filled with Level 10 and higher Crystal Stones, tossed in a heap as if they were worthless trinkets.

The remaining space held all sorts of food, wooden boards carved with Beast Text, some pottery, bronze artifacts, and several boxes of cotton cloth and clothing, all packed to the brim.

The other Bone Ring was smaller, with only twenty square meters of space, but it was also packed full of various items.

Seeing the young female open her eyes again, her gaze sparkling, Xiao Cheng chuckled lightly. "This is my dowry. Once we’re a couple, I’ll go back and ask my Father and Mother for another share for you."

"I thought you couldn’t go back to the Xiao Family?"

Xiao Cheng smiled. "They’re just afraid I won’t be able to find a mate. If you take me back with you, they’ll definitely show you respect."

"Surely you wouldn’t want me to go back to the Xiao Family, be paired by my clan with a female I don’t like, and be at her mercy, would you?

"Not all young females are as beautiful, kind, and smart as you are!"

Si Shuo knew perfectly well he was flattering and coaxing her, but she was a total sucker for it...

Besides, she didn’t dislike Xiao Cheng; in fact, she enjoyed his company. Her Beast Husbands at home were all quite serious and liked to dote on her as if she were a little cub.

She loved them, of course, but Xiao Cheng was a completely different type of person.

Seeing her trying to suppress the smile playing on her lips, Xiao Cheng let out a low chuckle and got busy preparing the elephant trunk.

Si Shuo watched from the side. ’In my world, elephants are a protected species,’ she mused. ’People aren’t allowed to hunt them for their ivory or eat their trunks.’

But here on the Beast World Continent, the land and environment were so saturated with Spiritual Power that the vegetation was exceptionally lush. This led to an explosive increase in the herbivorous Fierce Beast population, and as their natural predators, the number of carnivorous animals naturally rose to match.

Far from worrying about overhunting, Beastmen often didn’t hunt enough due to laziness or fear of danger, which in turn would trigger disastrous Beast Tides!

This was especially true for the massive Long Tusked Elephant Beasts, which had almost no natural predators; as a result, every tribe had a specific hunting quota for them.

Ji Liang, on the other hand, was eyeing the large elephant tusks. He raised an eyebrow and chuckled. "HISSS, Little Shushu, what do you plan to make with the ivory?"

Xiao Cheng pricked up his ears to listen in as well.

Si Shuo’s eyes lit up. She immediately bought several books from her ’supermarket’ to prepare—all of them were about porcelain, jewelry, and hair ornaments, filled with exquisite images of beautifully crafted designs.

"I want to make two tea sets, some bracelets, hairpins, game pieces, Bone Tokens, and... hmm, a set of mahjong tiles too!"

The two males fell silent. The only word they understood was "bracelets."

Si Shuo excitedly took out a piece of parchment and a charcoal pencil. She began to draw, explaining to them, "This is a teapot. It’s hollow on the inside, and this is the spout and the lid."

"We can gather specific flowers and plants, process them into tea leaves, and whenever we want a drink, we just put some in the teapot, pour in boiling water, and let it steep for a bit..."

"These are the teacups..."

’So, it’s just a fancy way to drink water!’ The two males nodded, silently committing it to memory.

Si Shuo went on to draw several other items. The Bone Tokens and mahjong, she explained, were for everyone to play and relax with during parties at home.

A short while later, Zhi Le and Gong You returned. They weren’t surprised to see Xiao Cheng back in his Beastman form.

Upon learning that Xiao Cheng had dealt with Chu Ming and his men and had also presented their female with many gifts, Gong You’s lips twitched. "Come on. Let’s go out for a round, shall we?"

Among the four Beast Husbands, Gong You was the most vicious fighter. Every move he made was lethal, honed punch by punch and kick by kick in the fighting arenas.

Xiao Cheng noticed a hint of nervousness in Si Shuo’s eyes. He smiled, stood up, and gently tapped her on the forehead. "Hey, don’t underestimate me."

"I may be a Three-tailed Blue Fox, and my Beast Form might not be as strong as your Gong You’s, but I’m a Twelfth Level male, after all. It won’t be difficult for me to fight him to a draw."

"Besides, it’s a perfect chance for me to see for myself what the top Beastman of the Southern Continent can do!"

Si Shuo’s lips twitched. "You’ve got it wrong. I’m worried about *my* Gong You. You’re Twelfth Level. If you can’t even beat a Level 10 Gong You, it’ll be a huge embarrassment for you."

The corner of Xiao Cheng’s mouth twitched. He nodded. "Fine. Since you put it that way, I guess I can’t hold back. If I were to lose, wouldn’t I be letting down your high expectations?"

CRACK! Gong You clenched his fists, the sound echoing in the silence. ’My status is under serious threat.’ "Enough with the nonsense. Let’s go!"

With that said, he charged outside. Xiao Cheng grinned, stepped forward to hug Si Shuo, and gave her a quick peck on the cheek before laughing heartily, transforming into a Three-tailed Blue Fox, and dashing after him.

Si Shuo ground her teeth. ’This brat really knows how to take a mile when you give him an inch.’

Ji Liang sneered. ’Looks like things are going to get a lot more chaotic at home from now on.’ But his brow smoothed out, and his gaze on Si Shuo grew even more intense.

It wasn’t just him; Zhi Le was the same.

Si Shuo couldn’t help but wipe her cheek. "Zhi Le, Ji Liang," she asked hesitantly, "are you two okay?"

’Why is it that with Xiao Cheng about to join the family, they look like they want to eat me alive? I thought they were prepared to accept him...’

Zhi Le smiled and pulled her into an embrace, nuzzling her cheek. "We’re fine. We were just thinking how wonderful our kitty is."

"With more high-level brothers around to help protect you, we won’t have to be so constantly on edge."

It took an outstanding female to attract males with such high Combat Power and proud dispositions to follow her.

Besides, their family dynamic was good. It wasn’t like in other families where, whenever the female was around, the Beast Husbands would be scrambling over each other, desperate to curry favor.

And when the female wasn’t present, they would be at each other’s throats.

After all, it was impossible for a female not to have her favorites, which only exacerbated the conflicts among the Beast Husbands. A family like theirs, where the female treated everyone equally, was a rare thing indeed.

When their female needed them or wanted to be affectionate, they were naturally happy and satisfied. And when she was spending time with other Beast Husbands, they had their own things to do, such as training to advance their Levels or gathering supplies for her. Before meeting her, they never would have imagined they could coexist so harmoniously with their Couple Brothers. They were not related by blood, but they were closer than true brothers, always watching over and helping one another.

Even when they had the occasional squabble, it would be settled through a fight, always ending in a return to harmony and mutual respect!
