Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 236 - 235: A 30% Chance

Si Shuo was a woman who kept her promises. Seven Beast Husbands were more than enough—any more and she’d completely fall apart!

In the Beast World, males had to band together to protect a female. It was a reluctant necessity born from the cruel laws of survival. Whose heart wasn’t made of flesh and blood? How could anyone withstand constant testing, friction, being trampled on, deception, and neglect?

They were all her Beast Husbands, her family. Theirs was a union born from a need to survive, but also from genuine affection.

Their lives were finally getting on track. They didn’t need to add a new member to gild the lily.

To be more accurate, it would just be a source of frustration for her Beast Husbands.

She chuckled and said to Zhi Le, "Zhi Le, have the chickens in the backyard laid any eggs? Take Little Ye and Youyou and bring back two baskets. We’ll have Jin Pan, Man Gu, and Li Hui take some with them later."

"Brother Ce..."

’Alright, the little female is too shy to say it outright and is starting to clear the room.’ Zhi Le stood up and, without a change in expression, plucked up the little cubs who were happily enjoying the commotion and made his exit.

Wei Ce didn’t wait for her order, either. Looking wronged, he stood up and found himself a task. "We’re low on tea. I’ll go boil some more."

’Sure enough, my life is just one big drama. A whirlwind coupling, a surprise pregnancy, and now, before I can even settle into a comfortable routine with my little female, I’m already yesterday’s news. The family is getting new members, and every single one of them is younger and better-looking than me...’

Si Shuo almost burst out laughing at him but managed to maintain her composure and gave a solemn nod.

Once they had left, Si Shuo turned her attention to the members of the Golden Lion Clan and the White Wolf Clan.

She had been reborn for six or seven months now, so she understood how direct and decisive Beastmen were about coupling. She smiled and shook her head. "I’m very sorry. I already have seven Beast Husbands, and they are all hardworking and exceptional."

"I quite like the atmosphere in our home right now, and I don’t plan on accepting any new Beast Husbands. Sometimes, having more husbands doesn’t necessarily bring a family more security. Instead, it can create more domestic conflict."

"Jin Can and Ao Jun are both fine young men—handsome, with good talent. They should choose females that they genuinely like and who like them in return."

"Ultimately, it just wasn’t meant to be between us."

Both Jin Can and Ao Jun were the sons of Clan Leaders. They had good aptitude, worked hard, and were already Twelfth Level Beastmen at a young age. They were highly sought-after partners, not just within their own clans, but throughout all of Guangshou City. The only reason they hadn’t sought a Female Saint before was that they wanted to first increase their Combat Power to be able to offer her better protection.

They had never imagined they would be rejected after coming to her door personally. For a moment, their faces were masks of disbelief and frustration. ’Didn’t the Si Shuo Divine Female just send two of her Beast Husbands away? Wasn’t that a sign that she was going to accept us?’

"Si Shuo Divine Female, I... I may have only just reached the Twelfth Level, but I’m very experienced and have a high Combat Power Value! Please give me a chance to prove myself!" Jin Can pleaded urgently.

"Si Shuo Divine Female, our Wolf Clan has always been loyal, and there aren’t many powers in Guangshou City that still preserve the Beast Mark tradition. We’re also very united, and our clan is large. I... I can move in after we’re coupled..." Ao Jun said, scratching his head, his face flushing red.

Si Shuo just smiled. "I made a promise to my Beast Husbands from the start. Wei Ce was the last one. This has nothing to do with your qualities or the strength of your clans."

"I’m the kind of person who sticks to her guns. When I say something, I see it through to the end." Her tone was firm and her gaze was clear, showing absolutely no romantic interest in them—only polite appreciation.

Man Gu smiled. "Our apologies, Si Shuo. We meant well, but it seems we’ve caused trouble. Since you’ve made up your mind, we won’t insist. It’s just their bad luck."

Li Hui nodded in agreement. "Right. Even if they can’t be coupled with you, your family, Si Shuo, are still benefactors to our White Wolf Clan."

Si Shuo breathed a small sigh of relief, then pressed her lips together and asked, "If I don’t attend, will the Iron-eating Beast Clan be ostracized? Will it be hard for the males in my clan to find Female Saints?"

"Every major power has its own resident Female Saints that they support. It’s rare for members of a large clan or tribe to seek a partner from a Female Saint in another’s territory. And I’m afraid other Female Saints wouldn’t be willing to choose an Iron-eating Beast Husband if it meant risking offense to the Winged Dragon Clan."

"At least not for the next year or two. You’d have to wait for the bitter resentment the Winged Dragon Clan has been nursing these past few months to finally fade..." Jin Pan said quietly.

The Iron-eating Beast Clan already had few members. Her absence would create yet another obstacle for them when it came to finding mates. If no new females joined the clan for a year or two, and consequently fewer cubs were born or those cubs had low talent and aptitude, it would inevitably impact the Iron-eating Beast Clan’s future standing in Guangshou City.

The balance of power in Guangshou City shifted quickly. A generational gap in their elites would undoubtedly become their Achilles’ heel...

Si Shuo raised an eyebrow. ’Looks like I’ll have to go and make an appearance at this Female Saint Conference after all. Constantly avoiding it will only make them think I’m scared, and they’ll just come up with other schemes.’

She had a gut feeling that because they had previously sent information about the Female Saint out in batches to the various powers, ruining the Winged Dragon Clan Leader Chu Yi’s plan to spread his seed far and wide, he was definitely plotting something nasty!

Perhaps this was an opportunity to solve the problem once and for all—to put the Winged Dragon Clan in checkmate, or at the very least, knock them down a peg.

By the time the two little people in Wei Ce’s mind had finished their fight and he finally, reluctantly, returned with the refilled tea, Si Shuo was chatting happily with the other females. The males, meanwhile, were sitting together still discussing the great competition between the Beast Soldiers and Generals.

’So, just how many new Couple Brothers did his little female take on? Did she accept both of them, or just one?’

Wei Ce was dying of curiosity, but he still sat down next to Si Shuo and silently began peeling boiled peanuts for her.

"Having cubs is the most unpredictable thing," one of the women was saying. "That’s why when males are looking for a Female Saint to partner with, they consider what kind of beast she is. After all, there’s a thirty percent chance the children will take after their mother..."

Si Shuo rarely had a chance to talk with other females. The only one she’d been close to was Yimei, and Yimei was a novice just like her. They were both learning as they went and didn’t know as much as these women.

"Thirty percent?" Si Shuo recalled that the cubs Yimei had with Kouba had indeed taken after their mother—they were three little Red Foxes!

At that, she shot a look at Wei Ce, then glanced down at her own stomach. ’What if... what if I give birth to albino cat cubs? There’s a sixty to eighty percent chance they’d be deaf.’

’Besides, the Beast Form determines the upper and lower limits of a male’s Combat Power to a certain degree. I hope my male cubs will be as powerful and majestic as their Father!’

Seeing that she was looking a bit distracted and clearly tired, the group didn’t stay much longer. They left the gifts they had brought and departed, each carrying a basket of eggs and ten assorted birds.

After seeing her guests off, Si Shuo rushed back to her room and climbed onto the bed. She dropped to her knees on the Beast Skins with a THUMP, clasped her hands together, and began to pray to the Beast God. "Honorable Lord Beast God, I hope to have two or three cubs in my belly, with at least one female. And may all the cubs take after their Father, please don’t let them take after me..."

The Beast God couldn’t bear to listen anymore and huffed, "Little female, aren’t you asking for a bit too much? Others pray for the gender of their cubs at most. Seeing their sincerity, I might grant a family one or two cubs."

Si Shuo laughed softly. "And what if I can resolve the impending crisis for all the Female Saints in Guangshou City?"
