Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 191 - 190: The Couple Brother He Chose at First Sight Is Actually...
A dark look crossed Si Shuo’s face. Someone had overheard what she said earlier. Wei Ce hadn’t even taken it to heart, but now it had become a point of attack against her.
The long-bearded elder standing at the very front looked displeased, but his tone was still somewhat gentle. "Wei Ce, whatever kind of Female Saint you want, we can find one for you."
"Don’t let someone trick you out of your Beast Mark with just a few words. The Beast Mark is very important to us males. It’s equivalent to handing half of your life over to a female."
"That’s why you must carefully choose the Female Saint you want to couple with in the future. You can’t act on a whim or give away your Beast Mark carelessly just to spite the clan..."
"That’s right, Wei Ce. The elders are only doing this for your own good. If you don’t want to couple up, then just take your time choosing a Female Saint. Who knows, you might meet one you like someday."
"If you meet a good female, you’ll live a life full of vigor. But if you end up with one who’s materialistic, uncaring, and willful, a life of misery is what awaits you..."
Another elder also chimed in, pleading earnestly.
The other Iron-eating Beast Clan Members who had come along, also worried that Wei Ce’s inexperience with the world meant he didn’t understand the stakes, all began to speak up. "Wei Ce, we’ve all been there. Listening to the elders’ arrangements is never wrong."
"Females are all pretty much the same. If you like pretty ones, or a certain temperament, or a female from a particular clan, you can just mention it to the elders..."
"Look at us, Wei Ce. We listened to the clan’s arrangements, and now our lives are quite smooth. Much more harmonious than those families in other clans that are constantly arguing and fighting..."
Wei Ce held Si Shuo’s hand and gave them a deep bow, his expression cool and earnest. "Elders, Uncles, and Brothers, I know you all mean well."
"But everyone has their own path to walk. I am an adult now. I am very clear about my choices and who I want to protect."
"Rest assured, no matter which Female Saint I choose in the future, I will still shoulder my responsibility to protect our clan members!"
The Third Elder was so angry he trembled all over. "Wei Ce, you have to protect yourself first before you can protect others! We all just want what’s best for you. Are you... are you trying to anger your Third Grand-uncle to death?"
Wei Ce stood motionless, a clear sign of his unshakable resolve.
Si Shuo tugged his hand. "Wei Ce, set up a Protective Shield first and get rid of the onlookers."
Wei Ce nodded. He raised his hand, and a brownish-yellow light spread out from him like a slithering snake, enclosing the four of them and the Iron-eating Beast Clan members. All the other Beastmen were repelled by the Protective Shield.
Only then did Si Shuo chuckle, pull her hand free, and remove the ears from her head and the tail from her back. She also stopped concealing the aura of her body.
Wei Ce stared at the ears and tail that had been stuffed into his arms, then caught the sweet, alluring scent unique to a female. He froze on the spot, completely dumbfounded!!!
Si Shuo stepped forward, gave a slight bow to the Iron-eating Beast Clan members, and introduced herself with a smile. "Third Elder, Fifth Elder, and all members of the Iron-eating Beast Clan, hello. My name is Si Shuo. I am a Cat Beast Saintess from the Southern Continent."
"Including Wei Ce, I have a total of eight Beast Husbands, and I just gave birth to a pair of Deer cubs. Although my qualifications aren’t top-tier among Female Saints, I am willing to treat Wei Ce exceptionally well."
"He is not my first Beast Husband, but I am willing to make him my last!"
"Also, the pair of Deer cubs are one male and one female."
Her every word was like a clap of muffled thunder, exploding in the minds of the Iron-eating Beast Clan members.
Forget them—even Wei Ce felt that in his nearly twenty years of life, he had never encountered anything so shocking.
’The Couple Brother I fell for at first sight is actually a Female Saint?!’
"Si Shuo... a Female Saint? You... you just said, *including* Wei Ce?" The Third Elder finally found his voice after a long moment, his face deathly pale as he stammered out the question.
Si Shuo smiled, nodded, and turned around. On the back of her neck, a majestic yet somewhat dorky-looking Iron-eating Beast Mark was revealed for all to see.
Wei Ce was also baffled. He subconsciously pulled open his shirt—sure enough, the Beast Mark on his chest was gone!
Realizing that their earlier intimacy had completed the transfer of the Beast Mark, Wei Ce’s face flushed crimson. He wished he could bury his head in the ground, yet the corners of his lips couldn’t help but curve upward. His feet, quite honestly, began to inch-by-inch shuffle toward her.
A big guy like him, shuffling along one tiny step at a time—it was hard not to notice. The Iron-eating Beast Clan members couldn’t even bear to watch.
’Who was it that was just clamoring about not wanting a Female Saint? And who is it now that so eagerly offered up his Beast Mark!’
The Fifth Elder asked in a hoarse voice, "Si Shuo Divine Female, does your word hold true that you will make Wei Ce your last Beast Husband and treat him well?"
The Beast Mark had already been given away. Nothing they said would matter now; they could only try to secure the best possible outcome for Wei Ce.
The Third Elder added, "That’s right. As long as you guarantee this, not only will the Iron-eating Beast Clan not pursue the matter of you obtaining Wei Ce’s Beast Mark in private, but we will also grant you our protection!"
Their biggest worry was simply that the Female Saint wouldn’t treat Wei Ce well, but would instead use him as a tool to seek benefits.
’Wei Ce’s Beast Mark is already with the Little Saint Female. She has no reason to deceive us, so she really must only have eight Beast Husbands. In that case, Wei Ce becoming her last Beast Husband might be no less significant than him becoming a Female Saint’s first.’ 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢
Si Shuo glanced sideways at Wei Ce, whose ears were as red as if they’d been boiled. She smiled, nodded, and solemnly placed a hand over her heart, declaring word by word, "I, Si Shuo, swear to the great Beast God that for the rest of my life, I will not take another male as a Beast Husband. Otherwise..."
Wei Ce hurriedly grabbed her hand and said in a very soft voice, "That’s enough! I believe you!"
Si Shuo smiled and squeezed his hand.
"Si Shuo Divine Female, did you just say you gave birth to two cubs in one go, a male and a female?" one of the Iron-eating Beast Clan Members suddenly asked with curiosity.
When females gave birth to cubs, they were either female cubs or male cubs.
Female cubs were almost always born one at a time; the chance of twins was very small. Male cubs, on the other hand, were born in litters, which could range from two to over a dozen depending on the Beast Form’s species.
They had never heard of a Female Saint who could be pregnant with both a male and a female cub at the same time!
Si Shuo nodded. "Yes. It’s not that females can’t carry male and female cubs at the same time. Rather, it’s because their forms are different, so they start competing for nutrients and energy before they’re even fully developed."
"For this pair of cubs in my belly, my Beast Husbands fed me a Twelfth level Crystal Stone every single day. On top of that, my own Wood Attribute Spiritual Power is exceptionally pure, which is why I was able to give birth to them safely."
"The male cub even skipped his Beast Form and was born in a half-beast state..."
Her words made the Iron-eating Beast Clan Members nod repeatedly, and they also let out a huge sigh of relief.
’As long as everything she said is true, then aside from her background, the fact she already has seven Beast Husbands, and has already borne cubs—three conditions that make us feel it’s a bit unfair to Wei Ce—there’s really nothing to find fault with in this Female Saint!’
