Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 146 - 145: She Got the Wrong Idea Again...
Si Shuo clumsily turned and hugged Zhi Qi. "Of course not. You’re all equally important to me. I’m just afraid I’m not doing a good enough job and that it’s making you all upset.
With so many Beast Husbands at home, it’s impossible for me to take care of everyone’s feelings all the time.
So, Zhi Le, Zhi Qi, if there’s anything I’m not doing well enough, you have to tell me.
Otherwise, if resentment builds up, it will affect our relationship. And I would be letting down your devotion and companionship!
We’re a family. If there’s a conflict, we should resolve it immediately."
Zhi Qi held her, gently stroking her back, and chuckled. "Alright, I’ll listen to my kitty. From now on, I’ll tell you whether I’m happy or unhappy."
Si Shuo hummed in agreement. Before drifting off to sleep, she mumbled, "I think I should have chosen the Clone Ability. Wouldn’t it be great if each of you could have a female for yourselves?"
Zhi Le and Zhi Qi exchanged a look, then shook their heads with helpless smiles. They were males. The heritage they received from birth and all they had ever known was that males should band together to protect their female.
If there were multiple females in the house, they wouldn’t even dare to leave. The thought of a whole litter of kitties... they had to admit, it was a terrifying prospect. They could now somewhat understand their little female’s sweet sorrow when faced with so many of his clones.
Fortunately, there weren’t too many Beast Husbands in the family, which gave them enough room to shine and filled the void left by their little female’s reluctance to find more.
When Si Shuo woke up, only Ji Liang and Zhi Qi were home. The other males had gone to the Beast Soldier Camp to participate in group training and be assigned to their respective squads, companies, and battalions.
For breakfast, they had shredded pork and vegetable noodles. Xu Chi had kneaded the dough, and Si Shuo wondered if it was because he was the Father of the cubs in her belly, but she found the noodles exceptionally firm and fragrant—good enough to open a noodle stand.
"HISS... Little Shushu, the two of us will take you for a walk around the city later. We can also check out the locations of the courtyard, fields, and shop we’ve been allotted," Ji Liang said with a light chuckle, gently fanning Si Shuo.
Si Shuo hummed in agreement. It had been about three months since they arrived in Nanye City, and it still felt a little unreal to her. She didn’t have a sense of belonging, as if at any moment they would have to pack up camp and leave again.
She was in high spirits at the prospect of relaxing and strolling around town. After finishing her noodles, she went to say hello to Yimei.
In Yimei’s family, only Rongzhi was a Peak of Level 9 Flying Beastman. The others were only Level 6 and 7 and had no Special Abilities.
Si Shuo didn’t dare invite her to come along, so she just smiled and said, "Yimei, I’ll go scout things out first. When your Zhe Heng and Pan Zhou are free, we can all go shopping together."
Yimei wasn’t shy about these things. Leaning over the fence, she linked her arm with Si Shuo’s and whispered, a faint blush on her face:
"My Beast Husbands told me I should set up my healing stall first.
They’re going to observe for a while and see if there are any males in the Beast Soldier Camp with good character, high Combat Power, an easygoing nature, and who still have their Beast Marks. It would be best if they also have the backing of a family or tribe. They want to slowly select two for me.
My Beast Husbands’ Combat Levels aren’t very high, so they’re afraid they can’t protect me and the cubs."
Besides, she was a Female Saint, so she could attract males with good qualifications. Furthermore, by choosing from the Beast Soldiers, the males would definitely have top-tier Combat Power, and they even came with their own houses!
Si Shuo hummed. "In that case, I’ll have Yin Jiang and Ji Liang keep an eye out for you too."
Yimei smiled and said, "Actually, this is pretty good. Although Rongxing and the others don’t have high Combat Power, they’re working very hard to improve it.
Especially since you gave us the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pills, Si Shuo. Their aptitude has improved, so they’ll probably advance a level in another month or two.
Rongxing and Lei Lan take care of me and the cubs, while Kouba and Hang He gather information outside and also spread the word that I can heal. This morning, a young female came to me for treatment for a fever..."
Si Shuo nodded in agreement. "Exactly. Combat Power isn’t the only standard for measuring a male. A family requires everyone to work together.
Some Beast Husbands handle external affairs, while others take care of things at home. Everyone contributes in their own way."
Si Shuo looked at the three little cubs clinging to the fence. They could occasionally transform now, but they couldn’t hold the form for long, nor could they transform their fur into clothes. They were standing in a row with their little butts bare, listening obediently to the adults’ conversation with sweet smiles.
’So cute!’ Especially with the fox ears on top of their heads. Si Shuo couldn’t resist the urge to reach out a paw.
Zhi Qi’s expression changed. He took a step forward, and as if it were nothing, promptly grabbed her ’paw.’
"Yimei, where are your Kouba and Hang He? We’re going to see the houses and fields we won from the He Xi Tribe. We can all go together," Ji Liang also walked up to Si Shuo and asked with a smile.
Yimei naturally noticed how nervous the two males were about Si Shuo, but she just smiled and said nothing.
If it were the cubs of an ordinary female, another female couldn’t touch them casually, especially after they’ve transformed. Otherwise, that female might be claimed by the young males.
However, her cubs were meant to be guardians for the cubs in Si Shuo’s belly. They held respect for Si Shuo and saw her as an elder.
"I’ll call them," she said, touching the two Beast Marks on her body. Sure enough, Kouba and Hang He, who had been wandering nearby, felt her summons and returned.
She gave them a few instructions and had them go out with Si Shuo and her two husbands.
Zhi Qi transformed into a Snow Leopard. Ji Liang held Si Shuo and sat her on his back, then put up a Protective Shield. This way, no matter how fast Zhi Qi ran, Si Shuo remained as steady as if she were sitting on a stone bed.
Kouba and Hang He also transformed into their Beast Forms—a rattlesnake and a gray fox—and followed closely behind.
Ji Liang spoke to Si Shuo with a serious expression, "Little Shushu, you can play with cubs who haven’t transformed all you want. But once they can take human form, you must not pay them too much attention.
Otherwise, they might misunderstand and think you want to take them as Beast Husbands!"
Si Shuo’s eyes widened. "Is it really that serious? They’re so little, what could they possibly understand?"
Ji Liang nodded gravely. "Most of us are born with inherited memories. Little Shushu, you can’t underestimate any male, not even a little cub who’s only as tall as your calf and runs around with his little bird out!"
Si Shuo couldn’t help but laugh out loud. But seeing Ji Liang’s cold, stern face, she quickly suppressed her smile and nodded seriously. "Okay, I’ll remember. From now on, I’ll only pay attention to my own cubs."
After saying that, she started laughing at Ji Liang’s words again. They were crude, but he had a point. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
Guangshou City was huge, divided into five districts: east, west, south, north, and central.
Most of the land deeds that the He Xi Tribe had offered as rewards this time were in the western district.
They headed for the western district, but they didn’t run too fast along the way, taking their time to see just what charm this Guangshou City, famous throughout the entire Beast World Continent, really had.
Whenever Ji Liang came across a place they might frequent, he would find a hidden spot to mark as a waypoint, making it convenient for future Teleportation.
’This... this is a bit like a dog marking its territory. My bad, I’m in the wrong again. How could I think of the cool, aloof, great snake like that...’
The next time Ji Liang stopped to mark his territory—no, to set a waypoint—Si Shuo couldn’t hold it in anymore and burst out laughing. PFFT-HAHA!
