Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 176 - 175: Take Me With You
Xiao Cheng was once again stuck with Xuyou clinging to him. He hugged the little cub and peered over, frowning. "The Winged Dragon Clan’s goal is to stop the Female Saints from recruiting beastmen from powerful factions as Beast Husbands, right?
Without a strong enough background to rely on, won’t these Female Saints be at the mercy of the Winged Dragon Clan?"
The residents in this area were almost all Female Saints from the Southern Continent. They had just settled in and didn’t understand the situation in Guangshou City. Besides, the Female Saints had been biding their time on their journey here, hoping to choose young, handsome, capable, and well-connected males for Beast Husbands. Even though they could take on several Beast Husbands, the more powerful and well-connected a male was, the more arrogant he would be. The city’s factions were intricate, riddled with conflicts and rules, so everyone was being extremely cautious. As a result, most of the Female Saints had yet to find a suitable partner.
Now they had become prime targets for the Winged Dragon Clan’s "special attention," isolated and helpless!
Si Shuo’s eyes shifted, a smile playing on her lips. She beckoned to the three men. Once they leaned in, she whispered, "We have scouting abilities, the Invisibility Ability, and Human Skin Masks. Think there’s an angle for us to work?"
Ji Liang immediately got her meaning. A slight smile touched his lips. "Little Shuoshuo, you mean we act as intermediaries? Secretly, behind the Winged Dragon Clan’s back, building bridges between the various families and the Female Saints?"
Si Shuo nodded. "Yes. But the premise is that we must hide our identities so no one finds out. Hmm, I’ll ask the Beast God what he thinks!"
As soon as she finished speaking, she plopped down onto her knees on the stone bed. Seeing her straightforwardness, the three males couldn’t help but find it amusing.
’She acts just like his own daughter. The apple really doesn’t fall far from the tree!’ 𝘧𝑟𝑒𝑒𝘸𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝓁.𝘤𝘰𝓂
"Respected Beast God, your faithful servant Si Shuo is eternally grateful for your blessing, which has allowed me to have this happy life with my Beast Husbands and cubs.
I have never forgotten your kindness and especially wish to help ease your worries. Right now, the Winged Dragon Clan wants to trap the Female Saints from the Southern Continent. This is a sign of their disrespect toward females. Who knows what miserable things will happen if these Female Saints fall into their hands.
Every Female Saint bears the responsibility of birthing outstanding beastmen. They are the ones you, Lord Beast God, have sworn to protect, and they are an especially precious resource in the Beast World.
To this end, your servant has racked her brains to come up with a plan, and I hope you will bless us so that we may carry it out smoothly!"
The Beast God scoffed. ’He had his duties, with clear rules about what he should manage and when. How could he be expected to intervene for every little thing that happened on the Beast World Continent?’
’Nope, not listening!’
Si Shuo continued to mutter, "Actually, I was thinking... why don’t we just borrow the Beast God’s authority to thoroughly intimidate the Winged Dragon Clan and solve this problem once and for all?"
’The Beast God’s scalp tingled. The Winged Dragon Clan was certainly outrageous, but they were descendants of Divine Beasts. The blessings of their ancestors extended to their descendants.’
’That’s why, for many of the things the Winged Dragon Clan did, he would turn a blind eye as long as they weren’t completely over the top. The Heavenly Realm had its own unwritten rules, too.’
Si Shuo spoke again, "I think those Thunder Talismans from last time were pretty good. What if I go and strike a few of the more arrogant Winged Dragon Clan Members with lightning every night? We could inflict heavenly punishment on all the most wicked beastmen!"
The Beast God finally spoke, his voice listless. "Little Saint Female, you’re really trying to make trouble for me out of nothing. Fine, say it. What do you want from me this time?"
’He could sit by and do nothing, but if something happened to the Winged Dragon Clan and it was blamed on him, that would be a huge problem!’
"I want all the information on the Female Saints in the South City District who haven’t yet found protection from a large family or tribe. Also, give me and my Beast Husbands a convenient identity to operate under, like Beast God Servants or something?
We’re helping you solve your problems, Lord Beast God. We need a legitimate reason to act, right? Otherwise, we’re just ordinary beastmen. Wouldn’t it be better to just shut our doors and live our own quiet little lives?"
’The Beast God was so furious he felt his insides twist. Had he begged them to interfere?’
"Little Saint Female, go on and shut your doors then!"
"That won’t do! What if the Winged Dragon Clan incurs public wrath, and even you, Lord Beast God, can’t contain the fallout? Where would I find another sensible god like you then, Lord Beast God?
In my world, we have sayings like, ’A thousand-mile dike can be destroyed by an ant nest,’ and ’It’s never too late to mend the fence after the sheep has gone astray...’"
Hearing the little female start her lecturing again, the Beast God couldn’t be bothered to struggle anymore. "Fine! It’s just information on the Female Saints being watched by the Winged Dragon Clan, right? I’ll give it to you!
In addition, I’ll grant you a superpower that can hide your scent. That way, after you’re in disguise, no one will be able to identify you by your aura. That should be enough, right?"
Si Shuo nodded in satisfaction. "Perfect, perfect. Lord Beast God, you’re so clever. You know just what I’m thinking. You truly are worthy of being the god who protects the Beast World Continent."
The Beast God gave a dry laugh. "Little Saint Female, let me be clear. You took this task upon yourself. I am only providing you with these two conveniences. Whether you succeed or fail, you will bear the responsibility entirely on your own."
Si Shuo hummed in agreement. In truth, she hadn’t expected him to provide any help. It was just that investigating the Female Saints’ information on their own would be too difficult. Plus, if they started snooping around now, it would easily arouse the suspicion of the watchers.
She had a Hidden Breath Plate, but its effect was so good that it would actually make people suspicious. After all, if someone was standing right in front of you without any aura, with their breathing and very presence reduced to almost nothing, wouldn’t that be a blatant announcement that they were carrying some kind of treasure?
Si Shuo opened her eyes, which were gleaming with delight. She immediately lowered her head and, with a flurry of scribbling, began to write down the information on the Female Saints from memory:
"The Winged Dragon Clan is watching a total of one hundred thirty-nine Female Saints. Ninety-six are from the Southern Continent, and the other forty-something are Female Saints supported by small families or tribes.
Here we have the Female Saints’ addresses, names, superpowers, Beast Husband situations, and character assessments. I think with all this, we might not even have to personally act as matchmakers. Some people will be willing to use the Female Saints to seek benefits for themselves."
Female Saints are also a very important social resource!
Xiao Cheng nodded. "Right. We can group these Female Saints by their circumstances and carve the information for every ten or twenty onto bamboo slips. It might be hard for an ordinary female to find a Beast Husband, but Female Saints are in high demand. As long as they understand their current predicament and are willing to agree, I’m sure the large tribes and families would be happy to offer them protection, right?"
"Not confronting the Winged Dragon Clan head-on, but secretly taking in numerous Female Saints to bear outstanding cubs for their own family or tribe... no faction would refuse that," Ji Liang said with an agreeable nod. "And if they all act together, they can severely suppress the Winged Dragon Clan’s arrogance. In the future, the clan will have to be a bit more restrained in their conduct."
Si Shuo turned her head to look at Ji Liang. "Ji Liang, you’re going to check on the situation with the Iron eating Beast Clan later, right? Take me with you, won’t you? I’ll put on a disguise!"
Ji Liang naturally nodded, happy to agree.
Si Shuo ran to the next room. She put on a chest binder, instantly giving herself the appearance of having well-developed pecs. Draping the snakeskin robe Ji Liang had given her over one shoulder, she put on a pair of White Fox ears and tied a fluffy White Fox tail around her waist. With a "no-makeup" look that was simultaneously full of Charm and pure, she was the spitting image of a delicate and enticing young White Fox boy, not yet fully capable of Transformation!
When she ran back, the sight of her nearly drove Xiao Cheng insane...
