Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 194 - 193: My Sister Really Dotes on Me

Wei Ce cleared his throat. "Uh, Shuo, our Iron-eating Beastman digestion isn’t the best. We get hungry easily.

Let’s hurry up and move so we can go back and have a big feast!"

Si Shuo smiled and nodded. In her world, the expansion of human activity had shrunk the giant pandas’ habitat. Pandas were originally carnivores, but there were no large prey animals in the areas they lived. Smaller animals weren’t worth the energy it took to hunt them. As a result, they had no choice but to switch to a vegetarian diet, spending half their day chewing on bamboo.

Far from the forests where Wild Beasts roamed in packs, the Beastmen in the Beast City had started farming and raising livestock, drastically changing their dietary structure.

But the Iron-eating Beasts were picky eaters, so they still got half their energy from bamboo.

She pressed her lips together. She had read quite a few books about giant pandas these past few days. Because of this, she now picked out a basket of apples and a basket of carrots and placed them in the space they both shared.

Wei Ce’s eyes shot wide as he stared at her, his words stuttering. "Sh-Shuo! There’s a space? I have a space?"

Si Shuo chuckled and nodded. She quickly explained that after her Beast Husbands contributed their Beast Marks, they would all possess two spaces. One was a seven-cubic-meter space shared individually with her, and the other was a six-acre cultivation space shared by the whole family. Furthermore, her Beast Husbands could teleport to her, and he had also gained a second superpower: the Stone Monster Summoning Technique!

Wei Ce focused his senses. He could indeed "see" two spaces. In his personal space were two baskets of fresh, juicy apples and carrots. The cultivation space was filled with all sorts of fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs.

The sight made him even hungrier! He never imagined he would gain a second superpower. He was so stunned by one surprise after another that he didn’t know how to express himself.

"Brother Ce, take these two baskets of apples and carrots and share them with your clan members. We can continue moving after they’ve replenished their energy," Si Shuo said with a smile. "We have plenty of supplies. I’m not about to let your people work on an empty stomach."

Wei Ce didn’t know how to be polite about it. He just grinned, nodded, and was about to lead her out by the hand.

"Kitty, where did you dig up this Iron-eating Beast?" Zhi Qi couldn’t watch anymore and sighed. "Wei Ce, are you seriously going to take out apples and carrots in front of your clan members to show off that you have a space?"

Wei Ce slapped his forehead, looking a little embarrassed. "Shuo, I was just too happy. I’ll go share the food with everyone now. On the way, I’ll stop by the Beast Soldier Camp and pick up the Identity Cards for a few of our Couple Brothers!"

This was a normal reaction. Any one of these pieces of news was enough to drive the Beastmen of the Beast World Continent wild.

He reluctantly let go of her hand, took the apples and carrots out of his space, and headed out with a basket in each hand to share with everyone.

The commotion of them moving naturally didn’t escape their next-door neighbors.

Yimei came over just then, smiling. "Congratulations, Si Shuo! You’ve successfully taken another powerful Iron-eating Beast Husband!"

Then her mood dropped slightly. "But you’ll be living with the Iron-eating Beast Clan in the future, and my family is moving to the Saber-toothed Tiger Clan’s territory. One in the North City District, the other in the western district. We won’t be able to see each other every day like we do now."

Si Shuo took her hand and chuckled. "The two districts aren’t that far apart. We can visit each other from time to time. Your Kouba is doing well learning Beast Text. We’ll be able to write letters soon and have the city’s Flying Beasts deliver them.

You should study Beast Text diligently, and I’ll find you some books on diagnosing illnesses and prescribing medicine later..."

Yimei nodded forcefully and stepped forward to hug Xuyou. "Youyou, Little Ye, you have to think of Auntie Yimei after you move to your new home. Once you’re all settled, Auntie Yimei is going to come visit..."

Youyou nodded with a serious look on his little face. It was hard to tell if he really understood or was just mimicking the adults, but either way, he was adorable.

A commotion arose from outside the courtyard. Were those female voices? Si Shuo and Yimei exchanged a glance and walked out.

"Si Shuo Divine Female, you’re moving? What’s going to happen to the workshop for making paper, brushes, and inksticks?"

"Yeah! My Xiao Kai has been working so hard in your workshop. We thought it was a long-term job. Now that you’ve gotten in with the Iron-eating Beast Clan, are you just going to leave us all hanging?"

Xiao Cheng was at the gate, blocking them and explaining that they would discuss a solution after the move was complete. He asked everyone to be patient.

But they wouldn’t listen. They figured that once Si Shuo’s family left, the workshop would move too. From the south district to the north district—who would look out for them then?

Si Shuo walked out to stand beside Xiao Cheng, smiling faintly without a word.

Xiao Cheng squeezed her hand and said in a low voice, "Sister, did we disturb you? I remember you said that helping people is a kindness, not an obligation.

We don’t owe them anything. At most, when we settle their pay, we can give them a few extra Crystal Stones as a consolation."

Si Shuo hummed in agreement, letting the females outside speak their minds. The words, however, went in one ear and out the other.

Gradually, their mouths went dry, and they quieted down. "Si Shuo Divine Female," one said hoarsely, "could you please give us a straight answer?"

Si Shuo smiled and said, "There’s really no need to worry. It wasn’t easy for us to train a group of skilled workshop workers. We certainly wouldn’t take the initiative to tell them they can’t work for us anymore.

However, as you’ve seen, we’re moving to the North City District. We won’t have a shop here anymore, so we’ll have to open a new workshop there.

If you’re willing to part with your Beast Husbands, you can let them come work in the North City District!"

Hearing that their Beast Husbands could still work in the workshop, the females happily nodded in agreement without a second thought.

"What’s the big deal? It’s just a bit of a walk. The workshop provides meals, and they’re males. If they get tired, they can just lean against something and sleep..."

"That’s right. If the workshop is busy, they don’t have to come home. We can visit them when we have time..."

The females’ words were very practical. Every household was struggling to get by and desperately needed this job. The "visits" they mentioned would probably only happen once a month, and only to collect the Crystal Stones.

Xiao Cheng clenched his fists. He felt a mix of helpless indignation for his clansmen and his usual sense of gratitude. His own female actually cared about people and treated her Beast Husbands fairly.

He couldn’t even imagine being like his clansmen, treated as a tool for making money, with all his hard work not even earning him a single glance of favor from his female.

Si Shuo tickled his palm. She waited for the next wave of chatter from the females to die down before saying with a light laugh, "The workshop’s compensation will be the same as before: a monthly salary of fifty Crystal Stones and a twenty-stone meal allowance. On top of that, we will provide simple lodging.

Additionally, they will work twenty-two days a month and have eight days off, plus a distance subsidy of ten Crystal Stones. When our shop’s business picks up in the future, the monthly salary and subsidies will increase! How does that sound?"

Sound good? It sounded great! The females all nodded eagerly. They also seemed to understand that the Si Shuo Divine Female didn’t like too much noise, so this time they all listened to her quietly.

"The males of the Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan are considerate, attentive, and devoted to their families. It’s one thing for them to work hard, but you must always remember how good they are to you. This is my only requirement of you!

If I ever hear that a male of the Three-tailed Fox Clan has become a disposable presence in his own home, feeling no warmth from his family because he isn’t always by his female’s side, then I’m sorry, but we will no longer employ him.

There are plenty of Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan Members in the North City District. We have no need to destroy the happiness of your little families just to earn some Crystal Stones, right?"

The females hurriedly nodded, eagerly whispering their assurances. "Si Shuo Divine Female, please don’t worry! We treasure our Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan Beast Husbands. They’re handsome, good-tempered, attentive, and doting.

They go out to suffer and earn money for us. If we didn’t appreciate them, we’d only be making things hard for ourselves... Of course we cherish our own Beast Husbands..."

"Yes, yes! We promise that on their days off, we’ll make up for all the lost time..."

The expressions on the faces of the Beast Husbands standing behind the females were priceless. The males of the Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan were touched and warmed, filled with a new motivation to work hard. The other males, however, could only watch with envy, jealousy, and hate.

Why hadn’t their clans produced a powerful and successful expert like Xiao Cheng, who remembered to help his own people?

Having received a satisfactory answer and asked about the timing, the crowd departed happily.

Xiao Cheng hugged Si Shuo tightly, rubbing his face against her neck again and again. His eyes were red-rimmed. "Sister is so good to me! I... I’ll definitely serve you well..."

He felt he could never repay her. The joy, gratitude, and pride in his heart made him want to crush the little female in a fierce embrace, embedding her into his very being.
