Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 139 - 138: All Gathered

She had created these two rootless flowers using her newly advanced Second Level Catalyst Technique. The Wood Element within them was pure and abundant, making them fly twice as fast as the ones Si Shuo had created before, with a top speed of ninety miles per hour.

This speed was enough to keep up with the Beast Husbands’ average traveling pace. Moreover, they stored a large amount of Spiritual Power, had a long flight duration, and could even automatically absorb Spiritual Energy from the air.

On top of that, Si Shuo had pushed the rootless flower’s capabilities to their limit. The flowers had a built-in Concealing Breath function, which was especially useful for young females who didn’t know how to regulate their breathing while hiding.

Si Shuo immediately equipped both her own family and Yimei’s family with one flower each.

This way, flying was no longer exclusive to Flying Beasts. Even if Xu Chi was discovered to be able to fly in the future, they could attribute it to the rootless flowers!

When Xu Chi returned with the spring hunting party, he saw a flock of female Flying Beasts at the entrance of Dongye Middle Square?

The beastmen were stunned. Since when could females sprout wings and fly? Had they inhaled some kind of toxic gas in Dongye Forest and started hallucinating?

But soon, their own mates flapped their wings and flew into their arms, proving to them in no uncertain terms that this was real.

This just made them question their entire beastly existence even more!

Xu Chi also stared blankly at the young female in his arms. Behind her were a pair of shimmering, crystalline wings that radiated a faint chill, providing a natural cooling effect.

However, the wings soon retracted, hopping onto Si Shuo’s shoulder like a transparent butterfly landing there.

"Xu Chi, this is a Spirit Plant I grew with a rootless flower. I didn’t expect it could be used as wings," Si Shuo shared, her voice tinged with a little pride.

Xu Chi smiled and hugged her tightly. He had missed her dearly during the few days he was away. Whenever he thought of her, he would go hunt Fierce Beasts or gather strange plants to put in the planting area.

But the more he did that, the more intense the longing became when he finally rested. Only by holding her now, almost embedding her in his embrace, could he find some relief.

’It’s just that... now that I have a Flying Beast brother at home and my little mate can fly on her own, my own flying ability feels less and less special...’

"Here, I prepared this for you!" After Xu Chi let her go, Si Shuo chuckled and handed him a rootless flower. "Now you can fly too, Xu Chi!"

To an outsider, her words might have sounded ordinary, but Xu Chi understood. His little mate was always thinking about helping him conceal his Beast Form.

Xu Chi was so moved he didn’t know what to say. He just said in a low voice, "A shuo, I hunted three half-grown Long Tusked Elephant Beasts for you. Their meat is quite palatable. I’ll roast it into jerky for you to snack on later."

Si Shuo smiled and nodded in agreement. Xu Chi wasn’t a reckless male who charged in without thinking. On the contrary, having survived on his own, he had a keen sense of danger and could predict his chances of success.

He had to stay alive to protect his little mate and their cub, so of course he had to ensure his own safety before making any move.

The group went to the square, and as expected, Xu Chi was also recruited to be a Beast Soldier of Guangshou City!

Pan Zhou from Yimei’s family was chosen in the second batch. Rongzhi was a Flying Beast, so his Combat Power wasn’t his strong suit, and his Level wasn’t particularly high, so naturally, he wasn’t selected.

Tonight, all the Beast Husbands were home. One, two, three, four, five, six official ones, and one still pending.

So many strong, handsome, and extraordinary Beast Husbands sitting together... The intermingling hormones made Si Shuo’s heart pound. ’This is a little too exciting!’

Yin Jiang pulled her into his arms and said in a low voice, "Shuo’er, Xiao Cheng and I are entering the fourth round of the Guangshou City Beast Soldier selection trials tomorrow. After this round, Guangshou City will start organizing the Beast Soldiers to return to the city in waves.

"Should we all go back together, or stay here a while longer?"

Si Shuo subconsciously looked toward Zhi Le and Ji Liang.

Ji Liang hissed lazily, "Let’s go back. The Qingxi Tribe has already fled in disarray. If we stay here, we’ll just be fighting Fierce Beasts in the forest. Our Combat Power won’t improve much in the short term."

"We might as well take advantage of the decent weather and go get settled in Guangshou City."

"There’s a lot to do, so it’s best we set off as soon as possible."

It was true. The lifestyle of the Central Continent Beastmen was very different from that of the Southern Continent. They needed to get to Guangshou City as soon as possible.

Farming, raising livestock, and opening a shop all required time and manpower. They had to hoard enough food and heating supplies before the rainy season and the coldest season arrived.

Besides, by then, her pregnancy would be stable. As long as they were careful on the road, there shouldn’t be any major issues.

It would take about a month to get to the Central Continent from here. By the time they were settled, the Horned Deer Cub would probably be due!

Zhi Le nodded. "If no one has any objections, then tomorrow morning during training, I, Xu Chi, and Gong You will inform the team leader."

"Starting tomorrow, we’ll need to pretend we’re preparing to return to the city."

Everyone agreed solemnly. After dinner, Zhi Le took Si Shuo to go tell Yimei’s family.

The two families would definitely be traveling together.

Knowing his little mate wouldn’t be able to wake up early enough to see them off tomorrow morning, Yin Jiang held Si Shuo and talked for a long while, telling her all about the things he had seen and heard on his occasional trips to Guangshou City.

Xiao Cheng huddled to the side, watching them with longing eyes, occasionally chiming in with a comment or two.

In Guangshou City, every family and tribe had their own foundation to stand on. Over the past few hundred years, their conflicts had shifted from overt to covert, and the beastmen themselves had developed a strict hierarchy through their long history.

Every three years, the families and tribes would hold a large-scale competition to determine their rankings and the division of resources and power.

Not only would the Thirteen Families and eight tribes of Guangshou City participate, but also some families and tribes from nearby Beast Cities.

The governing body of the Beast City was elected from the top ten families and top five tribes.

These were all lucrative positions that allowed them to truly profit their own factions. Not to mention, they determined the distribution of highly contentious resources, like mines designated as public and exploited in rotation. That’s why the competition was exceptionally fierce!

"The grand competition is happening this year. After Shuo’er gives birth and recovers, we’ll go watch the excitement."

Si Shuo nodded repeatedly, then smiled and whispered in his ear, "When the time comes, I want to sit on you while we watch!"

’In reality, with my rootless flowers, I could easily hover in mid-air by myself. But how could that compare to how cool and stylish a Hunting Falcon is?’

"Okay," Yin Jiang smiled and held her tighter, also whispering, "I used to be so envious of those Flying Beasts who brought their little mates to watch the spectacle. I just never met a young female willing to offer me her Beast Mark."

This time, he would show everyone how beautiful and well-behaved his little mate was.

Ji Liang cracked open his eyes and glanced at the young female. Hiss... ’Who was it that said they wouldn’t forget their old loves for a new one!’

Si Shuo felt a prickle on her back and instinctively turned to look. She saw Ji Liang leaning against the entrance of the Beast Skin Bag, his eyes slightly downcast, looking as dejected as if he’d been abandoned.

’I’m done for. He caught me in the act again...’
