Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 189 - 188: How About I Teach You?

Wei Ce and Yin Jiang’s battle ended in a draw. This way, Wei Ce met the standard to become a new member of their little family, without making his future Couple Brother lose too much face.

As soon as the Array dissipated, Wei Ce jumped straight off the platform and landed steadily in front of Si Shuo. A fine layer of sweat beaded his forehead, and his eyes crinkled with a sincere, joyous smile. "White Fox Cub, look! Can I be your Couple Brother now?"

Si Shuo smiled and nodded vigorously. ’I’ll have to figure out how to tell him the truth later,’ she thought, grabbing his arm and leading him away. "I never expected you to be so strong, Wei Ce. I always thought the Fire, Gold, Ice, and Thunder Elements were the superpowers with high attack power. I had no idea the Earth Element had so many variations."

Wei Ce laughed. "It’s nothing special. If you study any superpower thoroughly enough, even the Wood and Water Elements can have powerful attacks. Besides, my Earth Element Ability is mixed with crushed stone, so it’s good for both offense and defense."

"But Yin Jiang is really impressive. I’ve never seen such a powerful Flying Beast. He’s incredibly fast, his attacks are flexible, and he uses offense as his defense. I haven’t had such a satisfying fight in a long time!"

Yin Jiang scoffed and said to Ji Liang, "Listen to him. Is he praising me or himself?"

Ji Liang gave a low cough. "Now that you’ve tested him yourself, you can rest easy, right, Yin Jiang?"

A Level 14 Iron-eating Beast with extraordinary Combat Power was definitely not the weakling their little female had made him out to be. Moreover, the Iron-eating Beast Clan was highly influential in Guangshou City, and they could provide excellent protection for their small family.

"Mm, Shuo’er’s luck is really quite good," Yin Jiang said, unable to stop himself from smiling as he nodded.

Members of the Iron-eating Beast Clan were known to be united and sentimental. They were extremely protective of their unmated males, fearing that their simple-natured kin would be tricked and led astray, causing huge trouble.

Basically, only a Female Saint who was outstanding in every aspect—for instance, being beautiful, gentle, and kind, having just come of age and been chosen by the Beast God as a Female Saint without any Beast Husbands yet, and having prayed for a good Skill—would meet all the conditions to even be allowed by the Iron-eating Beast Clan’s elders to appear before a young male.

No matter how many Beast Husbands a Female Saint might have later, the first one held extraordinary significance. The Iron-eating Beast Clan would even make an agreement with the Female Saint, requiring her to bear a cub before she could take a second Beast Husband. After all, the protection of the Iron-eating Beast Clan was not so easily obtained.

Who would have thought their little female would just happen to pick up a runaway Iron-eating Beast male—and get latched onto, no less!

Ji Liang had thought of this too and nodded. "When we have an Iron Beast Cub in the family, we’ll have to raise it right. We can’t let it be like its Father, chasing after a Couple Brother to join the family before even laying eyes on a female."

By now, Wei Ce already had his arm around Si Shuo’s shoulder, whispering to her, "White Fox Cub, let’s go back now."

"After I offer my Beast Mark to our family’s Female Saint, everyone can move with me into the big courtyard assigned to me at the Beast Soldier Camp..."

"Do you like to eat Golden-Headed Chickens?"

"We can set aside a whole courtyard just to raise chickens, and I’ll grab one for you to eat every day..."

"I noticed you like to eat things from the water. My courtyard happens to have a pond, so we can raise fish, shrimp, and crabs..."

Leaving the Martial Arts Hall, Si Shuo guided Wei Ce into a nearby alley. Looking at the male who was practically bouncing with excitement, she felt both amused and a little worried.

"Wei Ce, set up a Defensive Array first. I have something to tell you!"

Wei Ce tilted his head but didn’t ask why "he" wasn’t the one setting it up. With a smile and a wave of his hand, a flash of brownish-yellow light enveloped them before disappearing.

"Go ahead, I’m listening."

"If there was a male in the family who was prettier than me, would you treat him better than you treat me?" Si Shuo asked seriously. "Or let’s say, without your clansmen pushing you, would you choose not to mate with a female at all, and instead live apart from the group with a brother, like me, for example? If I had a really good, close relationship with the female in our family, would you be mad at me, or mad at the female?"

Wei Ce was utterly confused. He scratched his head and frowned, mulling over her words several times before it dawned on him and he laughed. "White Fox Cub, are you afraid I’ll steal the female’s affection for you?"

"Don’t worry. If you care that much, I’ll give all my time with the Female Saint to you! I said I’d have your back, so of course, I’ll be on your side..."

At this, he leaned in and whispered in her ear, "In my heart, not even the female of the family will be more important than you!"

Si Shuo froze. "Then... do you wish I were a female or a male?"

This time, Wei Ce’s smile vanished. His jaw tensed. "White Fox Cub, you’re a male. Wasn’t that decided the moment you were born?"

"If you don’t want me as your Couple Brother, you could have just said so from the start. You don’t have to beat around the bush with me. I don’t understand it."

"I have to mate with a female anyway, so it makes no difference to me who I choose. I promise you, I definitely won’t fight with you over the female. I’m really just doing this to protect you. I’m afraid that since you’re so weak, you’ll be bullied by the other Couple Brothers."

It was the first time Si Shuo had seen his expression so serious, and with a hint of hurt. She suddenly slapped her forehead. ’I’m being too narrow-minded. This Iron-eating Beast probably doesn’t understand the first thing about love or romance, and here I am, needlessly agonizing over his sexual orientation for him...’

She chuckled lightly, rose onto her tiptoes, and used her hands to push the corners of his mouth into a smile. "Wei Ce, let me ask you one last question. If you had the chance to choose a second superpower, what would you want it to be? Answer seriously!"

Wei Ce instinctively grabbed her wrists. They were so slender and fair, it felt as if he could snap them with the slightest bit of force.

He then interlaced his fingers with Si Shuo’s, secretly rubbing the back of her soft, smooth hand. The big bear was so happy he felt like humming a tune.

"I don’t really have any wishes," Wei Ce replied, his mind completely focused on the "soft tofu" in his grasp. The White Fox Cub’s jumbled questions were going in one ear and out the other.

"Alright then, I’ll decide for you," Si Shuo said with a nod.

Her eyes glinted as she tugged his ear, rising onto her tiptoes again to ask with a light laugh, "Wei Ce, do you know how to mate and hand over your Beast Mark?"

A jolt went through Wei Ce as if he had been electrocuted. His legs felt so weak they could barely support his large frame.

He turned his head to look at the White Fox Cub, who was right in front of him. His breathing grew a little heavy and his heart raced. He shook his head. "I don’t know."

"Should I teach you?" Si Shuo’s eyes curved into crescents. Her azure eyes, as clear as if they had been washed with water, sparkled with amusement. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Okay..." Wei Ce had just managed to give a dazed reply when Si Shuo sealed his lips with hers.

Wei Ce’s eyes flew wide open. He froze on the spot, his blood boiling and his mind a complete blank. ’Is... is this something Couple Brothers do?’

No matter how dense he was, he sensed something wasn’t quite right. But he wasn’t repulsed by it at all. In fact, a deeper longing bloomed within him. ’I want to turn the tables and kiss her back fiercely!’

Seeing his dazed expression, Si Shuo wrapped her arms around his neck and said with a smile, "Beast God, the Iron-eating Beast Wei Ce is willing to become my Beast Husband. I ask for your help in completing the transfer of the Beast Mark."

"Furthermore, Lord Beast God, please bestow upon my Beast Husband, Wei Ce, the Stone Monster Summoning Technique!"
