Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 251 - 250: Unless by Equivalent Sacrifice

The Black Sheep Beastman led Yu Jing past Gu Jian, who was still curled up on the ground, and chuckled. "I heard you and Captain Gu were rescued by a Rogue Beast.

But not only are you not grateful, you think he’s hoarding a lot of good stuff, so you specifically added him to the list of Rogue Beasts that slipped through the net?

Tsk. No matter who he is, the fact is he saved you. It’s one thing to be ungrateful, but to repay kindness with hatred... your seed pouch just took the punishment meant for your head.

The only reason you’re still alive is because I want to accumulate blessings for my own little female and don’t want to kill wantonly.

Remember, the heavens are watching. Retribution may be slow, but it is certain!"

With that, he walked away, head high and chest out. As he passed the Yellow Mouse Beastman, he even cast a flirtatious glance at the empty air beside him. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

’Crushing another guy’s jewels to accumulate blessings for *her*?’ Si Shuo thought. ’I am *so* grateful! Whose male is this? Someone come get him, no returns!’

Stumbling after the Black Sheep Beastman with her head slightly bowed, Yu Jing pressed her lips together to hide a smile. ’I wonder when this Black Sheep Beastman will discover that the Contract has been broken?’

But just as they left the crowd, Yu Jing froze and lifted her clothes to look at her stomach.

The Black Sheep Beastman was paying close attention to her. He glanced over, and upon seeing her stomach, his first instinct was to pull back. But when he saw the dense cluster of Beast Marks on her waist and abdomen, he let out a HISS and quickly dropped the vine. "Mother! What kind of monster is this?! This is terrifying! A whole circle of Beast Marks around her waist... A treacherous heart is a dangerous thing, but a female’s heart is the most venomous of all..."

His bloodcurdling wails made everyone turn and look.

Yu Jing had already covered her stomach, clutching her clothes tightly. She whispered, "W-what are you talking about? I, I drew those on myself!"

The Black Sheep Beastman sneered, keeping his distance from her. "You think I’m as blind as a bat? That I can’t tell the difference between a drawing and the real thing? If you’ve got the skill, why don’t you draw another one for me right now!"

Si Shuo, who had followed close behind, saw it too. Yu Jing’s waist and abdomen looked as if they were covered in postmarks, enough to trigger anyone’s trypophobia. It was indeed terrifying. Moreover, each Beast Mark represented a male Beastman.

’Aren’t there, like, thirty or fifty of them? But she doesn’t have a single Beast Husband protecting her. This is too strange!’

Si Shuo glanced at the nearby Beast God Statue, her expression calm. She didn’t ask it for the reason.

"Little female, I have excellent eyesight. You have a lot of Beast Marks on your waist, don’t you? A hand can’t draw Beast Marks that look so real!" the Raccoon Cat Beastman standing nearby asked, unable to contain his curiosity. "Are you really a Female Saint?"

Immediately, a male Beastman stepped forward to pull at Yu Jing’s clothes.

Yu Jing quickly hid behind the Black Sheep Beastman, saying pitifully, "D-don’t I belong to you? Take me away, quickly!"

The Black Sheep Beastman stepped back, not letting her touch him. "Wrong. What do you mean, ’belong to you’? Watch your mouth! I have a female, and you have Beast Husbands. We should maintain a certain distance.

I’ll only take you away if you promise to tell me what’s so special about you."

Yu Jing nodded repeatedly, urging him anxiously, "Okay, okay, okay, I’ll listen to you! Just take me away, quickly!"

Only then did the Black Sheep Beastman reluctantly grab the vine and say to the surrounding crowd, "Alright, my eyes were playing tricks on me just now. If she really had that many Beast Marks, would she let me lead her away like this? Everyone disperse. Or... does someone else want another round with me?"

His tone was relaxed. The crowd was just there for the show; no one wanted to get into trouble.

Besides, with all the recent commotion about the North Head Tribe, many people recognized Gu Jian. Antagonizing this Traveling Merchant Team from Guangshou City was not a good idea.

The Black Sheep Beastman led Yu Jing to a secluded spot, let go of her, and asked coolly, "What’s really going on? You’d better tell me everything, down to the last detail. Otherwise... heh, believe it or not, I’ll dig out every single Beast Mark on your waist."

With his grim expression, where was the easygoing, approachable demeanor from before?

Yu Jing couldn’t help but shiver. She looked left and right—not another Beastman in sight. For a moment, she felt a pang of regret.

"It’s... I... I’m just a young female. Many Beastmen wanted to possess me, to give me their Beast Marks. I don’t like them, but I couldn’t bear to see them get hurt, so I ran away. But I took a special medicine, so they can’t sense me."

The Black Sheep Beastman clenched his fist, making it CRACK. "Do you think I believe that? Forget it. I won’t get anything out of you by asking. How about I just skin you instead? That way, the Beast Marks on your body will disappear. You won’t be able to get any more Beast Marks in the future. I’d be doing you a favor, in a way."

Yu Jing stared at his cold, indifferent eyes and the hilt of the knife, glinting coldly between his fingers. "You... skinning isn’t a joke. I’ll bleed to death. You can really bring yourself to do it, can’t you?"

"Yes. Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes..." Xiao Cheng smiled, rattling off a series of "yeses." ’Rebound, rebound, and rebound again...’

Yu Jing stood frozen, dumbly looking down and pulling at her clothes. To her astonishment, the Beast Marks on her waist were vanishing one by one.

’Impossible. How could this be happening?’

She snapped her head up to look at the Black Sheep Beastman, her face filled with terror. "Who... who in the world are you?"

The Black Sheep Beastman smiled as he set up a Protective Shield. "Speak," he said coolly. "I’ll give you one more chance. Otherwise, this knife of mine might just slip..."

He suddenly swiped it in front of her eyes. Yu Jing was so frightened she didn’t dare move. She could feel the sharp aura of the Wind Blade pass by her eyeball—cold and stinging. A shallow cut appeared at the corner of her eye, and a bead of blood welled up and dripped down.

"I’ll talk! I’ll talk!" she said, her teeth chattering. "I am a Female Saint. The superpower I wished for from the Beast God is the ability to remove the Beast Marks of males who have done evil deeds. It’s mainly because I’ve seen some females use their Beast Marks to order their Beast Husbands to commit atrocities.

I wanted to see justice for their victims, so I asked the Beast God for this superpower. As long as a male admits he’s done something wrong, I can remove the Beast Mark he sacrificed, and the Beast Mark then appears on me.

If I can become his partner within three days, the Contract is considered successful. Otherwise, it’s a failure.

After a failure, although I am nourished by the Beast Mark, I can’t use it to control their lives, and they can’t attack me, either."

Yu Jing’s expression grew more and more unsightly. As the Beast Marks vanished, the life force within her body began to drain away bit by bit.

She reached out in pain and desperation. "Save me... Sacrifice your Beast Mark to me, and I’ll do anything you say... I’ve never done anything evil..."

Xu Chi pulled Si Shuo into his arms, his voice devoid of any emotion. "Don’t look. She brought this upon herself. The superpowers the Beast God grants a Female Saint are never so powerful as to defy the natural order, not without an equivalent sacrifice. When she obtained her superpower, she must have understood that this day would come."

Si Shuo understood. All things in the universe follow a principle of balance. Yu Jing interfered in others’ lives and enjoyed the nourishment from Beast Marks given unwillingly by males. So, when the Beast Marks were stripped away, the benefits they had provided her would also be reclaimed.

She gave a muffled "mhm." The recent chaos and turmoil that had befallen her family was all due to Yu Jing’s selfishness. Behind every Beast Mark on Yu Jing’s waist... was a story.
