Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 208 - 207: Brother Jiang

Tired from flopping around on the ground, Xu Ye plopped down and yelled at Gong You, "Father, hold... Ye... hungry..."

Cubs in the Beast World grew up fast. They were born with an innate legacy, so they learned quickly, not to mention they were also nurtured by Crystal Stones.

By now, they could already blurt out a word or two at a time.

Gong You tsk-tsked and, with a look of disdain, was about to pour water over the cub’s head to wash him, but Si Shuo stopped him.

Xu Chi said with a smile, "A Shuo, male cubs are pretty tough. They can handle a few bumps and falls. Now that the weather is warming up, washing him with room-temperature water is fine."

Gong You irritably flicked Si Shuo on the forehead. "Am I the kind of male who would mistreat his own cubs? They’re your cubs, so of course I treat them as my own!"

This was a rather sensitive topic in most households, and it was clear the two males had misunderstood her intentions.

Si Shuo smiled, hugged his arm, and quickly explained, "Gong You, I know you mean well. I just think rinsing him with water won’t get him completely clean. It would only wash off the surface mud, and you’d still have to scrub him carefully afterward. It’s too much trouble."

As she spoke, she took out the Dust Cleaning Talisman she had drawn last night, walked over to Xu Ye, and held it in front of his mouth. "Little Ye, take a bite!"

Xu Ye grinned at Si Shuo and chomped down with an adorably fierce "NOM," shaking his head as he gnawed on it and smearing a layer of drool all over the talisman...

His bullish, blockheaded energy made Si Shuo want to pull him into a tight hug and shower him with affection.

As he chewed, a faint wisp of Spiritual Energy flowed from his mouth and gently caressed his entire body. The little one hummed contentedly with his eyes narrowed in comfort. In just five or six seconds, the dirty baby became fair, tender, and absolutely delightful.

Only then did Si Shuo pull him into her arms, showing off her newly acquired skill to Xu Chi and Gong You with a hint of pride.

"I haven’t tested how many times one Dust Cleaning Talisman can be used yet. I’ll draw a few more later so everyone in the family can have one. That way, we can stay clean and fresh anytime, anywhere!"

Xu Chi and Gong You’s hearts warmed at the sight. They exchanged a silent glance, clearly thinking about how convenient this talisman would be for the males of their little family.

Just then, Xuyou stopped drinking her milk. She stretched out her chubby, lotus-root-like arms, crying "Youyou!" and wanting to chew on the Beast Skin too.

Si Shuo smiled and placed the Dust Cleaning Talisman in front of her. The little girl grabbed it tightly with both hands and took a big bite. She hadn’t grown any teeth yet, so she just gummed the Beast Skin, sucking on it with all her might.

Spiritual Energy flowed out of the talisman and circled around her, even cleaning away the milk stains around her mouth. It even extended to her father, Xu Chi, who was holding her, including him in its default cleaning range.

His whole body felt clean and refreshed with a faint scent of grass, and he felt completely energized.

Gong You tried it too. Tsk, it felt even better than taking a real bath, and it was quite invigorating!

Knowing she liked to sleep in, the Beast Husbands of the household started returning home one after another around the time she usually woke up.

Si Shuo went to greet them one by one, sticking the Beast Skin in each of their mouths...

Even after every Beastman in the house had experienced the Dust Cleaning Talisman, the Spiritual Energy within it still wasn’t depleted!

Si Shuo held it and sensed it carefully. About one-third of its Spiritual Energy reserves remained. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She was still counting on her fingers, trying to figure it out, when Ji Liang gave her the answer. "Fifteen times. One Dust cleaning Talisman can be used fifteen times!"

Si Shuo’s eyes lit up. ’Doesn’t that mean if we use it three times a day, one Dust Cleaning Talisman could last for five days?’

After eating, Si Shuo went into the courtyard, held her breath, and focused on drawing a talisman. Building on yesterday’s success, she failed twice before successfully creating another one.

She stuffed the new talisman into Xu Chi’s hand and declared magnanimously, "For bathing the cubs!"

Zhi Le raised an eyebrow. "What about mine? I need one for my kitty, too."

Si Shuo’s face flushed slightly. She glared at him before sitting back down to continue drawing. Now that she knew the key to talisman making, she finished it flawlessly in one go this time.

Only after equipping every Beast Husband in the house did Si Shuo start to feel a little tired. Even though she had used the Spring Breeze Technique on herself, she still felt an indescribable fatigue.

’It must be because I used too much spiritual power.’ Her eyes flickered. ’Everything requires practice. My Catalyst Technique has been upgraded to the Second Level, and I can use my Replication Ability freely and with precise prediction. So, doesn’t that mean my spiritual power can also be trained when I draw talismans? I have a lot of free time every day anyway. Drawing some talismans daily, whether for our own use, as gifts, or to sell, is a great option.’

’Yes, that’s a great idea. I’ve just added a new task to my daily routine!’

While she was resting her mind, Yin Jiang pulled her into his arms, and she listened as the others reported on their day.

Zhi Le had gone with Wei Ce to scout Bamboo Mountain to determine the location, the fence’s height, length, and materials, where to build the poultry houses, and how many Beastmen with which superpowers to hire. Xiao Cheng had also gone to Bamboo Mountain, looking utterly dead inside as he investigated the production scale of the Iron-eating Beasts’ "Green Balls." He had even brought a bag of them back to the rear courtyard to study while the houses were being built...

Ji Liang had wandered through the North City District to check out the Iron-eating Beast shops, understand the needs of the Beastmen there, and look into the trader teams. Gong You had gone to the Iron-eating Beast Clan Land to discuss the requirements for building the Martial Arts Hall with the elders.

As for Yin Jiang, he had gone to the military camp to report in and familiarize himself with the situation.

The other matters were all fine, but Si Shuo looked up at Yin Jiang. "Yin Jiang, you..."

Before she could finish, he tickled her waist. Si Shuo was so ticklish that she immediately arched her back, looking as if she were actively snuggling deeper into his embrace.

Yin Jiang looked down at her with a soft chuckle, saying nothing.

Si Shuo pressed her lips together, turning to give everyone else the back of her head. She smiled and said nonchalantly, "Brother Jiang, did anyone give you a hard time at the camp? I’ve heard that the Beast Soldiers and Generals in the Beast Soldier Camp like to bully newcomers."

Before, her Beast Husbands had been in the recruit camp, where everyone was new and they could stick together to resist bullying from the veterans. A lateral transfer was different.

Wei Ce also shifted his gaze from Si Shuo to Yin Jiang, smoothly following her form of address. "Brother Jiang, if you run into any problems at the Beast Soldier Camp that you can’t solve, you can always tell me."

The implication was that it was best for Yin Jiang to overcome any difficulties himself if he could, and only seek outside help when he truly couldn’t handle it.

In the Beast Soldier Camp, strength was what mattered most. To establish a firm foothold there, one had to rely on their own hard work. A backer was merely a final trump card.

Yin Jiang didn’t hide anything, nodding with a smile. "It was fine. I was a Squadron Captain at the Southern City Beast Soldier Camp. When I reported in, the Little General said I was free to challenge a Little Captain and take their place, but there were no openings for a Squadron Captain at the moment.

But I also asked around. In ten days, there’s the great competition for Beast Soldiers and Generals. Any Beast Soldier on a winning team who also places in the top one hundred in the individual competition can challenge someone of the next rank up. As long as you win, you get promoted.

So I was thinking, I won’t transfer over just yet. I’ll stay on duty in the South City District. When the competition starts, I’ll win the team and individual events, and then come to the North City District to challenge a Captain.

Besides, I’m a Hunting Falcon. Traveling between the South and North City Districts every day is pretty fast for me."
