Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 174 - 173: A Surprise from the Sky

Yimei heard the news and immediately rushed over with He Shan. "Si Shuo, don’t panic. He Shan says he’s going back to his clan right now to find out what’s going on.

But knowing the Winged Dragon Clan, this is almost certainly true. They’re usually tyrannical and unreasonable, and now that they have a so-called legitimate reason, they’ll be even worse."

He Shan nodded, his expression solemn. "If this is true, Si Shuo Divine Female, and you have nowhere else to go, you can come back with us to the Saber-toothed Tiger Clan.

No matter how rampant the Winged Dragon Clan gets, they won’t actually go up against our Saber-toothed Tiger Clan just for you.

Their Combat Power is decent in the air, but on the ground, they are absolutely no match for us!"

Si Shuo smiled and thanked them. ’This isn’t a simple invitation,’ she thought. ’If I accept the Saber-toothed Tiger Clan’s protection, I’ll be obligated to choose one of their Beastmen as a Beast Husband.’

With their minds restless with worry, none of them spoke much, instead focusing on their writing and carving.

When her Beast Husbands returned that evening, Xu Chi, Yin Jiang, and Xiao Cheng were furious when they heard the news, but also felt helpless.

Their own Combat Power was considerable, and they weren’t afraid of a fight. They would even lay down their lives to protect their female.

But they were up against the entire Winged Dragon Clan and had to keep their little female and the cubs safe. They couldn’t be confident of success. It wasn’t just them; even Level 15 Beastmen like Ni Chang and Zhu Bang couldn’t hope to win such an impossible fight.

Seeking the protection of the Iron-eating Beast Clan was the only permanent solution. Otherwise, even if they evaded this crisis, there would always be another one.

"Speaking of which, have any of you brothers noticed more Beastmen skulking around the streets the last couple of days?" Xiao Cheng asked, his eyes narrowed.

Xu Chi pursed his lips in thought, then nodded. "Yes. I think it started about three days ago.

Those Beastmen have high Combat Power Values, and their scouting skills are strong and professional. I just assumed it was because the Beast Soldiers and Generals’ grand tournament was coming up, so they were tightening security.

But now that I think about it, something does seem wrong!"

"So they’re staking us out?" Gong You asked, his fists cracking as he clenched them. In a crowded place, martial strength was no longer an absolute advantage.

Why stake someone out? Who would be worth staking out? And which faction could afford to deploy so many people for it? The answer was obvious!

"I happen to be home tomorrow. I’ll use Invisibility to go out and investigate who they’re watching," Xu Chi said at once.

Yin Jiang looked at Si Shuo, his expression apologetic and filled with self-blame. "Shuo’er, we’ve brought you trouble."

Xiao Cheng hung his head as well. "I’m sorry, Shuoshuo. It seems I haven’t just failed to solve the problem, I’ve actually made things even worse for you."

Si Shuo glared at each of them in turn. "I bonded with you all. We’re a family now, so stop talking about being a ’trouble’ or not.

Think about it. If I weren’t a Female Saint, none of this would be happening, right? Have I ever stood on ceremony with you?

When we face difficulties, we unite and figure out how to overcome them. That’s it.

They’re the ones in the wrong. Why are you all blaming yourselves?

It makes no sense! Someone comes to bully us at our own doorstep, and we’re supposed to just stick our faces out to be slapped and then apologize for it?"

Moved, Xiao Cheng threw his arms around her and nuzzled her repeatedly. "Shuoshuo, I’m not afraid of anything except you not wanting me anymore.

If I do anything wrong, don’t hold back, just tell me. I promise I’ll fix it."

Si Shuo patted his shoulder. "I’ll never say I don’t want you, unless you’re the ones to leave me first.

Alright, you’ve been busy all day. You must be hungry. And guess what? Gong You secretly used his Time Law and Light Ability to make our poultry lay their eggs early.

So from now on, you all have a new chore: process and stockpile all the eggs we collect, so we can eat them during the rainy season and the coldest season."

Ji Liang added that he would go inquire about the Iron-eating Beast Clan. Knowing the Winged Dragon Clan’s plans in advance gave them time to prepare. It was a stroke of luck in a bad situation.

Everyone’s spirits lifted, and they went back to doing what needed to be done.

After dinner and a bath, Si Shuo slipped a small note she’d written earlier into Ji Liang’s spatial storage. "Ji Liang, I’m not in a great mood. I want some Fire Candle Insects. Can you catch some for me?"

Ji Liang had just gotten back to his room when he received the message. Picking up a pen, he wrote back, "Just wait."

After writing that, he vanished on the spot, following a pre-scouted route to a grassy area by the river.

The area was peaceful and secluded. Many Beastmen would bring their young females and cubs here to camp for a day or two, and it was a place he had wanted to bring his own little female to have fun.

The presence of too many Beastmen would startle the Fire Candle Insects, so Ji Liang transformed into his Beast Form and headed upstream under the cover of night...

The cubs at home were always dead to the world as soon as the sun went down. After watching them for a moment, Si Shuo whispered to Xu Chi, "Xu Chi, I haven’t been out in days. I’m going to find Ji Liang for a chat."

Xu Chi wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her into an embrace. "Go on, A shuo," he murmured. "You’ve had it rough lately. I’ll watch the cubs. Be careful, and Teleport back immediately if anything happens."

Si Shuo nuzzled his chest and chuckled. "I’ll catch some Fire Candle Insects for the cubs, then!"

Leaving Xu Chi’s embrace, Si Shuo waved at him and chose to Teleport directly onto Ji Liang.

And so, just as Ji Liang was focused on hurrying along and picking out a suitable spot, a little female suddenly dropped onto him with a THUMP, clinging tightly to his head?!

If he hadn’t recognized her scent and frozen in time, he would have most likely flung her into the river, where the raging current would have smashed her against the rocks until she was bruised and bleeding!

The thought made Ji Liang’s heart skip a beat. He shifted back to his human form and scooped Si Shuo into his arms, both surprised and exasperated. "Little Shushu, you gave birth to cubs, you didn’t regress into one yourself! Why are you so naughty?

What would have happened if I hadn’t realized it was you in time and thrown you off?"

Si Shuo laughed, wrapping her arms around his neck. "You wouldn’t have! Ji Liang knew it was me."

’She really has me wrapped around her little finger!’

"What are you doing here? Have you fully recovered?" Ji Liang buried his face in her neck. Fresh from her bath, his little female smelled sweet and felt soft. There was truly no longer any scent of blood on her.

"Mhm. You’ve all been feeding me Twelfth Level Crystal Stones these last few days, so I recovered ahead of schedule. Wasn’t it just to give you a surprise falling from the heavens?" Si Shuo nibbled on his chin. "Surprised?"

"Shocked and delighted!"

Ji Liang trembled violently. It was just that whenever they were intimate, especially when his little female couldn’t handle his passion, she loved to nibble on his chin.

Though it was a perfectly normal action, when connected to *that*, it became an unspoken, intimate signal that belonged only to the two of them.

For a male who had known the pleasures of love, more than two whole months was a long and torturous wait. He felt as if a full year had passed before he could finally have a satisfying meal again.
