Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 293 - 292: Got Carried Away

"My name is Bai Zhen. I’m a White Crane Beastman. You might not recognize me, but I know you," Xiao Cheng said with a smile, flying circles around Gui Hong.

Gui Hong grunted in acknowledgment. The Flying Beast Clan often held various competitions, allowing Beastmen to spar in the air to improve their cultivation and gain experience.

As the Young Master of the Vermilion Bird Clan, his strength was considerable, so it was indeed easy for him to be noticed.

"Hey, is your wife’s name Mi Xing? I recently heard a rumor about her superpower as a Female Saint!" As he spoke, Xiao Cheng looked sympathetically at the longest green feather on the Vermilion Bird’s head, sighed, and shook his own.

Gui Hong said, displeased, "If you have something to say, just say it. Why are you looking at me like that?"

"Oh, it’s nothing. I just think the green feather on your head is very fitting for the occasion. If word of this gets out, I don’t know how you’ll be able to face anyone, Young Master. Ahh," he sighed deeply again.

For some reason, Gui Hong’s heart suddenly thudded violently. "What do you mean by that?"

"Forget it. I’ll be a good guy and see this through. I’ll share this rumor with you, though I don’t know if it’s true or false. It’s true that Mi Xing is a Female Saint, but her superpower is borrowing a seed to have cubs!" Having said his piece, Xiao Cheng continued to fly alongside him, looking smug.

Bird Beastmen have a gossipy streak by nature, and since this concerned him directly, Gui Hong couldn’t take it anymore. "Male Bai Zhen, if you have something to say, just spit it all out at once."

’What does "borrowing a seed to have cubs" mean?’ His mind went blank. He had a feeling this question was extremely important.

"Well, you see, doesn’t Mi Xing love bringing home pairs of Beast Husbands with the same Beast Form, one after another? And there isn’t much time between each pair... In other words, the cubs in her belly aren’t from her High-level Beast Husbands at all. She just borrows the seed of a low-level Beast Husband and covers it with the aura and mark of a High-level one. Since their appearances are identical, who could possibly know if a cub is actually their own...?"

Gui Hong was so stunned he forgot to flap his wings, dropping five or six meters before he remembered to flutter them. "Male Bai Zhen, you... where did you hear this? How could the Beast God grant her such a superpower?"

"Mi Xing is a Female Saint, right? Your talent is pretty good, isn’t it? And what about the cub you fathered?" Xiao Cheng’s three rapid-fire questions left Gui Hong speechless and unable to retort.

His talent was indeed excellent; otherwise, he would never have been chosen as the Young Master from among two litters of brothers. But after his cub was born, for reasons he couldn’t explain, he just couldn’t feel close to it, even though it was supposed to be his own.

When the cub grew a little older, its aptitude was exceptionally ordinary. It made Gui Hong wonder if his own high status was truly due to his talent, or if he had just been built up with resources by his own father.

"And forget your cub for a second. Think about your Couple Brothers..."

Gui Hong thought about them one by one. All the details he had subconsciously ignored in the past now surfaced with absolute clarity.

"Sigh. I really can’t bear to see a talented male like you, Young Master Gui Hong, being played for a fool by a Female Saint. Making you go through hell and high water for her, only to be forced to raise another Beast Husband’s cub... It’s like there’s no rock bottom, just deeper levels of misery..." Xiao Cheng fanned the flames, bit by bit. "If it were me, I’d beat her eighteen times a day!"

Si Shuo, who was clinging to Xu Chi’s neck and listening in on the drama, felt a bit ???!!! ’Did he just call me out?’

A hint of a smile flashed in Xu Chi’s eyes. ’This Couple Brother of ours loves to cause a stir and show off, but he always manages to poke the little female with a single sentence. No matter how great his contribution, he always finds a way to diminish it...’

Seeing Gui Hong change direction and fly away, Xiao Cheng called out with false sincerity, "Young Master Gui Hong, don’t go easy on a disobedient Female Saint! If she threatens you with breaking the contract, then fight to the bitter end and take back your Beast Mark’s nourishment..."

Everything has two sides, and the Beast Mark was no exception. It was a natural contract: the male offered his loyalty and protection, and in return, the female, whose survival was guaranteed, would bear his cubs.

Although females held the power to initiate the breaking of the contract, the removal of a Beast Mark was like uprooting a deeply rooted tree. It had a significant impact on them, including accelerated aging, a weakened body, and reduced fertility. This was why females didn’t dare to break their contracts lightly!

Once Gui Hong was gone, Si Shuo went over and twisted Xiao Cheng’s ear. "Heh, not bad, Xiao Cheng. You’ve really thought this through, even planning an escape route? Are you giving Gui Hong ideas, or are you trying to send me a message?"

Xiao Cheng instantly stiffened and hurriedly said, "Sister, I really didn’t mean anything else by it. I wish I could rip my heart out for you, how would I dare try to send you a message?

Weren’t I just getting carried away with my performance and overacting a bit?"

Si Shuo knew he liked her, but knowing was one thing. His tone and the content of his words still made her a little angry. She found it easy to take it personally. ’That’s Xiao Cheng for you!’ 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"If you don’t like it, Sister, next time I’ll protect you and let Brother Xu Chi do the talking?"

Xu Chi heard this and shook his head repeatedly. "A Shuo, I’m not good with words. Not like Xiao Cheng." He enjoyed the job of protecting his female, letting her cling to him as she pleased.

Si Shuo couldn’t help but chuckle. "Alright, I was just teasing. Don’t take it so seriously. Let’s go, on to our next performance.

Heh, if Mi Xing dares to say and do such things, then we have to strike back."

They didn’t tell every single one of Mi Xing’s Beast Husbands. Instead, they picked only three or four and spread the story to them in different ways.

Along the way, they also passed by the Saber-toothed Tiger Clan and dropped the bombshell on Hang He. In probably two or three days, the entire Guangshou City would know about Mi Xing’s superpower! This would fundamentally stop Mi Xing from using such crooked methods.

Returning to the Iron-eating Beast Clan, they found Wei Jin and told him about Mi Xing’s scheme.

Wei Jin let out a cold laugh. "Our Iron-eating Beast Clan occupies so much land and so many shops; we’ve long been a target of envy. If those Rogue Beasts from outside the city break in and head straight for us...

...I’m afraid the other families or clans won’t just stand by, they’ll take advantage of the Rogue Beasts leading the charge to grab some benefits for themselves."

"Father, do you have a strategy to deal with this?" Si Shuo grew tense. ’Survival is so hard. Even if you find a powerful backer, you just become a juicy piece of meat that everyone is staring at.’

Wei Jin sighed softly. "What else can we do besides hide the food in advance, get the females and cubs to safety, and have us males meet them in battle?

Even if some of the families and clans we’re related to by marriage offer a helping hand, to put it bluntly, they’ll just be there to collect our corpses!

Even the Beast Soldier Camp in the city will use the excuse of ’everyone having their own duties’ to let us and the Rogue Beasts wear each other down.

Every ten or twenty years, Rogue Beasts from all over the Beast World Continent gather outside the city and eventually attack, pillaging some family or clan...

Our Iron-eating Beast Clan has survived this two or three times already. We will defend our clan’s territory, lands, and shops this time as well! We have no retreat!"

Si Shuo pressed her lips together. Just from his almost casual, understated tone, she could imagine the tragic and desperate scene of a family or clan being pillaged.

This was Wei Ce’s family. He was out there protecting the safety of the Central Continent Beastmen and stockpiling food for their little family, so she had to help him protect his greater family in return.

Besides, the Iron-eating Beast Clan was also their own little family’s support. If anything happened to the clan, their small family, which had just had a great harvest, would be the first to be targeted by everyone!
