Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 201 - 200: Then I Can Gnaw in Human Form Too
As the newcomer, Wei Ce was hardly prepared for the young female’s praise. A simple smile from her, lips pursed and eyes sparkling, was enough to make him fall for her completely. And now, she was looking at him with such adoration.
He felt a little dizzy. ’I must be hungry again.’ "Shuo, you’re amazing too," he said. "I never would have guessed that you were the one creating the Rootless Flower Wood Spirits that all the females and cubs love."
When Wei Ce learned she was the young female who had become his mate, he wanted nothing more than to give her the world. He had, of course, already considered trying to find a way to get her some Wood Spirits to play with.
Seeing the sweet and joyful atmosphere surrounding the young family, the Seventh Elder chuckled. "Yes, yes, you’re all amazing.
As for the redevelopment around our clan’s land, I’ll need to go back and discuss it with the other elders.
But I don’t think it’ll be a problem."
Ji Liang added with a slight smile, "Seventh Elder, as you can see, our family only has so many people, and most are on duty at the Beast Soldier Camp. If we open a school and a Martial Arts Hall on this scale, we definitely won’t have enough hands.
We’re hoping you could help us with recruitment when the time comes!"
The Seventh Elder’s eyes lit up. He couldn’t help but rub his hands together as he asked, "Ji Liang, what kind of Beastmen are you looking to hire? Are there any jobs that just anyone can do?"
The truth was, the Iron-eating Beastmen didn’t have a wide range of skills. They weren’t eloquent enough to drum up business, and while they were excellent fighters themselves, that didn’t mean they were good at training cubs. They also tended to be a bit ambitious but lacked practical skill, so there weren’t many jobs that suited them.
Si Shuo’s eyes flickered thoughtfully. "There are plenty of jobs," she said with a smile. "Seventh Elder, why don’t you gather information on all the clan members who are looking for work? That way, we can make arrangements according to their individual circumstances."
The Seventh Elder froze for a moment, his ears twitching uncontrollably. "All of them? Our clan has over four hundred Beastmen!"
Now it was Si Shuo’s turn to be dumbfounded. She turned to Ji Liang with a silent question in her eyes. ’Don’t the Iron-eating Beast Clan have all that farmland, all those shops, and endless Bamboo Mountains? Plus, they serve in the Beast Soldier Camp. Why is everyone so interested in the pittance I’m offering?’
Ji Liang smiled and patted her head. "We’re not sure how many people we’ll need or what the qualifications will be, but you can certainly list them all out for us."
The Seventh Elder nodded again and again. "Alright. Our Ninth Elder is good with Beast Text; I’ll have him compile everything. We’re all family now, so there’s no need to worry about you laughing at us.
The Iron-eating Beast Clan may look grand and prosperous on the outside, but in reality, every household is just scraping by... Don’t feel any pressure, though. Just hire however many you actually need..."
Si Shuo listened intently. ’To put it bluntly,’ she thought, ’the Iron-eating Beast Clan isn’t skilled in business or agriculture. They have huge appetites, they’re picky eaters, and they still have families to support. It’s only natural that they’re stretched thin.’
’In her original world, some countries couldn’t even afford the cost of airlifting bamboo. It just went to show that not everyone could afford to keep a national treasure.’
’No wonder the Iron-eating Beast Clan members bring their own food when they get mated!’
When they reached their home, Wei Ce took Si Shuo’s hand and asked quietly, "Shuo, I... I’m going to go pick some bamboo to eat. Do you want to come with me?"
Si Shuo’s eyes lit up, and she couldn’t help but grip his hand. "Brother Ce, when you eat bamboo, are you in human form or your Beast Form?"
Wei Ce didn’t know how to respond at first. "In my Beast Form," he said cautiously. "My teeth are stronger that way. If it would scare you, Shuo, th-then I can eat in my human form. That’s fine too."
"Beast Form is great!" Si Shuo laughed. She turned to the other three males. "Ji Liang, Gong You, Xiao Cheng, I’m going to the western Bamboo Mountain for a while!"
Ji Liang couldn’t bear to look at her and snorted irritably. ’A young female with too many Beast Husbands really does get a wild heart. She’s a Mother now, but she’s more playful than a cub.’
Gong You simply raised an eyebrow and smiled, a perfectly crafted look of loneliness in his eyes.
Xiao Cheng flashed a brilliant smile and waved, his fox tail popping out uncontrollably. "Go on, sister, but hurry back! I-I’ll be waiting for you tonight!"
’He’d seen the young female leaving Yin Jiang’s room that morning, and he’d been beside himself with excitement. He had spent the entire day fighting back a grin that threatened to split his face, his mind already scheming how to give her the perfect experience tonight.’
Si Shuo gave them an uneasy wave, promising to be back soon. Then she turned to Wei Ce, her face alight with excitement. Her eyes were so bright that Wei Ce felt like the young female was about to devour him like prey.
After a moment’s hesitation, Wei Ce reached out and took Si Shuo’s hand.
Si Shuo tilted her head. "Brother Ce, are we just going to walk? Aren’t you going to turn into your Beast Form and carry me?"
Wei Ce grinned, nodding enthusiastically. He backed up a few steps, and as his hands touched the ground, his tall, sturdy body swelled up like a balloon. In no more than five seconds, a coat of black and white fur had sprouted all over him.
His Beast Form was at least five times bigger than the pandas she’d seen in zoos. While other Beastmen’s forms had a certain wildness, Wei Ce’s furry body was just round and cuddly. He had small eyes, but they were accentuated by large black patches. When he glanced at her sideways, a sliver of white showed in his dark eyes, creating an expression that was just too cute for words.
Si Shuo let out a squeal. With no one to hold her back this time, she launched herself at him, nuzzling him, burying her face in his fur, and practically rolling all over him while still on her feet.
Wei Ce, caught between pleasure and torment from all her rubbing, could only look at her with an innocent and docile expression.
It was a critical hit to Si Shuo’s heart!!! It was as if she could hear Ji Liang’s disapproving cough, and that brought her back to her senses.
She climbed onto Wei Ce’s neck, happily tugging on his two fluffy black ears. Only then did the pair finally set off toward the back mountain. 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶
Wei Ce ran quickly and smoothly. A dedicated path led from the clan’s territory to the Bamboo Mountain outside the western wall.
Once they were outside the city walls, they ran along the edge of the Bamboo Mountain. They soon began to encounter many endearingly clumsy Iron-eating Beasts, some munching on bamboo, others carrying their rations home. And there were even more cubs that were cute enough to die for!!!
For a moment, Si Shuo forgot she was on the Beast World Continent and felt as if she were in a wild panda sanctuary. Her heart swelled with delight. To her, however, all the Iron-eating Beasts looked pretty much the same; she couldn’t tell any of them apart.
In any case, her Wei Ce was the handsomest of them all. His face, his nose, his ears, his figure—every part of him was perfectly round and smooth.
Soon, Wei Ce brought Si Shuo to his personal section of Bamboo Mountain. The three-hundred-mu mountain forest looked vast, but with his enormous Beast Form and huge appetite, it was far from enough. Forget three hundred mu; even three or four thousand mu wouldn’t be enough for him to eat to his heart’s content. He always strictly followed the clan’s regulations, taking only a set amount and supplementing the rest of his diet with fruits, vegetables, and grains.
"Shuo, I spotted a nest of bamboo rats a couple of days ago. I’ll go catch them for you, and we can roast them for dinner. They’re delicious!" Wei Ce said as he carefully set Si Shuo down before starting to pick out his meal for the day.
Si Shuo strolled nearby, her hands clasped behind her back. ’Even though the Iron-eating Beasts eat bamboo, their digestive systems are still those of carnivores,’ she mused. ’They have short intestinal tracts, no complex stomach, and they lack a developed cecum. In truth, eating bamboo is an act of necessity for them. It’s difficult to digest and provides very little energy. Their unique diet is a sign of a narrow ecological niche, just a way for them to avoid competing with others for food.’
She had noticed on their way over that the other mountainsides were littered with panda droppings, but her own precious panda was clearly a neat freak.
