Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 234 - 233: Unable to Resist

Wei Ce was in a daze all morning. His eyes never left Si Shuo, and he didn’t even glance at his usual favorite foods.

Seeing his foolish expression, the other males couldn’t bear to watch. ’Well, she’s pregnant now,’ they thought. ’He’ll be busy taking care of the cub in the future and won’t have time to cling to the little female of the house anymore.’

It was a classic case of losing in one area only to gain in another.

After finishing her meal, Si Shuo saw him still sitting there, ramrod straight. Suppressing a smile, she sat down next to him. "Brother Ce, are you silly with joy?"

Wei Ce nodded, still not quite back to his senses. "Not only do I have my little female, but now I have a cub too?"

’Just a month ago,’ he thought, ’the entire clan was pressuring me to find a Female Saint. I was so annoyed. I had no intention of giving my Beast Mark to anyone. I even childishly thought about threatening to run away from home just so everyone would stop paying so much attention to my personal life.’

’Who would have thought I’d meet a Female Saint I fell for at first sight? We shyly slept together for two nights, and... and now we have a cub?’ He felt a blush creep up his face.

’I’m going to be a Father! My little female is going to have my cub! No matter how I think about it, it feels like I’m still dreaming. The surprise is so huge, it’s completely stunned me.’

Si Shuo couldn’t help but link her arm through his. She laughed and said, "Brother Ce, you’d better hurry up and learn from Xu Chi how to take care of a cub. Otherwise, you’ll be running around in a panic in a little over a month."

Wei Ce nodded emphatically and pulled her into his arms, though he didn’t dare to squeeze too tightly. Moved and overjoyed, he nuzzled against her. "Shuo, Shuo, we have a cub!"

Ji Liang snorted from the side. ’So you have one, big deal. Do you have to show off in front of everyone? Trying to make us all jealous?’

Si Shuo patted Wei Ce’s back. "Brother Ce, don’t tell anyone else about this for now. Let’s wait until the effects of the Qing-Sheng Flower have faded."

That was the only patch of Qing-Sheng Flowers in the entire valley. They could break through several barriers to conception, allowing for the birth of an exceptionally talented cub, almost regardless of the parents’ physical condition.

If anyone else found out, it would surely cause a huge uproar—especially since the Clan Leader of the Winged Dragon Clan was on a rampage.

Wei Ce grunted in agreement. "Don’t worry, Shuo. I’ll keep my lips sealed."

The arrival of a new life brought more joy than worry to the household. Even Xuyou and Xu Ye knew they were going to be a big sister and brother, and they circled Si Shuo curiously.

"Youyou, Mother, how many?" Youyou was almost a month old now, but Beastman cubs grew quickly. Between their daily nutrition, the nourishment of Spiritual Energy, and their innate heritage, she was already crawling all over the place in cool snakeskin clothes provided by Ji Liang. However, the little girl was a neat freak and refused to touch the ground. She would either have her Fathers carry her or have her brother, who was half her size, give her a ride.

In fact, she was riding on Xu Ye’s back right now.

Si Shuo chuckled. "I don’t know either. But I just made a wish to the Beast God, hoping for two or three cubs, and that one of them would be a little sister for you."

Youyou clapped her hands happily. "Youyou, sister, play!"

"That’s right. Youyou will be a big sister and can play with your little sister. But you’re not allowed to bully your own little brother or sister," Si Shuo said with a light laugh, pinching her nose.

Youyou wrinkled her nose. "I won’t. Youyou, good sister."

"Good brother," Xu Ye added with a smile.

And wasn’t he just the best brother? Xu Ye barely needed any adult supervision and could even help by taking Youyou for strolls around the courtyard.

After the meal, Si Shuo didn’t feel pregnant in the slightest. If the males of the house weren’t watching her so closely, she would have been tempted to jump and skip around.

Xiao Cheng pulled Si Shuo into a room, closed the door, and pressed her against it. He gave her an attributeless crystal stone and helped her guide the Spiritual Energy as it circulated through her body.

Si Shuo had now figured out how to use Spiritual Energy to nourish her body. After the Spiritual Energy in her Dantian was converted into Spiritual Power, she could then slowly refine her flesh, muscles, and bones. Previously, when she absorbed Crystal Stones, she was like a new driver on the road, not daring to go too fast. Gradually, she had learned to maintain a steady pace.

But absorbing the attributeless crystal stone was a different story. The dense, immense power was like strapping her to a rocket, launching her forward at incredible speed. All she could do was try to steer.

After absorbing a single Crystal Stone, she had the illusion of being completely reborn.

Fearing the cubs wouldn’t absorb enough, she intentionally reserved ten percent of the energy to envelop her belly.

"We have plenty of attributeless crystal stones on hand. They’re perfect for you and the cubs to use every day," he said.

Si Shuo smiled and gave him a quick kiss. Xiao Cheng’s tail immediately shot out, and he chased her lips to deepen the kiss.

Because Zhi Le, Gong You, and Yin Jiang had distinguished themselves in the individual competitions for Beast Soldiers and Generals, and had subsequently succeeded in their challenges at the barracks, they had all been promoted to lead their own squadrons.

Furthermore, with Yimei’s Beast Husband, Hang He, spreading the word everywhere, many Beastmen had already begun lining up to enroll their cubs in the Five Elements Martial Arts Hall outside the Iron-eating Beastman ancestral home.

The Five Elements Martial Arts Hall had just opened, and to attract more students, they implemented a group registration discount. The Beastmen living in Guangshou City all had many friends and relatives—what family didn’t have several cubs?

The tuition was thirty percent off the market price, and it came with a free Beast Text literacy class, plus a set of reading primers and writing supplies. This sales model, a bundled promotion that also served as an advertisement, was incredibly popular in later generations.

Even people from the modern era would find such a deal irresistible, so naturally, the Beastmen couldn’t hold back. Not only was the tuition affordable and the free items valuable, but most importantly, if their cubs learned Beast Text, their future prospects would be immense. It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to say they would be a cut above the rest!

In just three or four days, all ten classes—a total of two hundred cubs—were filled!

With the Iron-eating Beastmen backing the Martial Arts Hall and the Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan Members helping with the Hundred Virtues School, the whole operation was starting to look quite professional.

They had already finished making one set of Metal Strips for printing. Si Shuo had then replicated it twice. The more than three hundred reading primers had been printed using these Metal Strips, and the efficiency and beautiful script stunned the Beastmen.

However, Beast Text had yet to become widespread, so very few of the writing supplies produced by the small workshop were being sold. Several warehouses were already filled with unsold inventory, and the workshop’s laborers were on edge every day, terrified that the owner would suddenly shut down the business.

Si Shuo was now the family’s most protected member. She wasn’t allowed to do this and wasn’t permitted to do that; she’d even had to stop her work selling Spirit Plants. ’The printing technology will cause a massive sensation,’ she mused. ’Even though we’ve agreed to hand it over, the questions of who to give it to, and how, are things worth considering carefully.’

’At the very least, we shouldn’t make any major moves this year. Next year’s great competition for Beast Soldiers and Generals happens to be a key year for the change in the City Lord’s office. As long as the new City Lord isn’t from the Ni Family or the Chu Family, we’ll contribute the printing technology.’

’Before then, we can put popularizing Beast Text on the agenda!’

Si Shuo took out a brush and paper, bent over her desk, and began to write down her ideas. She listed ways to increase the collective urgency to become literate and methods to help more Beastmen learn to read. This, after all, was the foundation for promoting the printing technology and the prerequisite for selling large quantities of writing supplies.

"Is Si Shuo the Female Saint at home?" a loud voice called from the front of the house. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"It’s a Golden Lion Beastman," Zhi Le said in surprise, looking up from the meal he was cooking.
