Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 325 - 324: You Didn’t Have to Say That
Yin Jiang pressed a hand to his forehead. ’His Eagle Falcon Beastmen aren’t that depraved, are they?’ Aside from a few twisted individuals, they generally wouldn’t prey on Beastman cubs for food.
Wild Beasts, on the other hand, could be eaten without any psychological burden. The little female was just spouting nonsense to scare the cubs.
Of course, he fell silent for a moment. In certain extreme situations, like the rainy season or the coldest season, when Beastmen hadn’t stored enough food, there were indeed wicked people who would resort to preying on cubs!
Tuanzi let out a fierce little growl and pounced forward. "Mother, what about me? I’m an Iron Beast Cub! I can bite them to death!"
As he spoke, he bared his teeth, revealing a row of pearly-white baby teeth.
The cubs all knew their mother’s preferences. Whether it was because Mother liked their Beast Forms, or simply because it was more convenient for them to move and play, staying in their Beast Form was always the best choice.
Si Shuo smiled and reached out to pet him. "Your teeth certainly are hard." Just as Tuanzi began to wag his tail smugly, thinking he had won her over, he heard his mother’s teasing voice. "But sweetie, your neck is too short. The most you could do in a fit of anger is chew on your own paws or rock your head back and forth. You wouldn’t be able to reach anyone to bite them."
Tuanzi pouted. ’Hey, no personal attacks! His... his neck was only short because he was still young.’
Xu Ye timidly raised his hand. "Mother, I can fly and use Invisibility. I can protect myself."
"Big brother can carry me, and I have my storage space so I won’t go hungry," Xuyou added excitedly. "Mother, please take me! I’ll even snatch a Hunting Falcon to bring back as a child husband!"
’She had it all figured out now. "A Hunting Falcon little brother"? Please. In the future, he’d just belong to some other little female. If she wanted a Hunting Falcon brother to stay with her forever, there was only one solution: claim one for herself ahead of time!’
The moment she spoke, the other three little females who understood the meaning of "child husband" perked up, their eyes sparkling. ’Big sister is a genius! Why didn’t we think of that?’
’And not just a Hunting Falcon child husband—they could raise others, too! The bond between childhood sweethearts sounded so sweet...’
Si Shuo was sipping her camel milk, enjoying the sight of her cubs racking their brains for excuses to wheedle permission to go to the Eagle Clan out of her.
Then she heard Xuyou’s astonishing declaration and nearly choked on her milk! ’How old is this cub? She’s already plotting to get a child husband? Is that normal on the Beast World Continent?’
And yet, the Beast Husbands of the family all wore looks of gratification, as if they thought Xuyou was an ambitious little female—so much more proactive than her mother, already planning for her future at such a young age.
Si Shuo couldn’t help but grind her teeth. She pinched Xuyou’s ear. "What’s this? Are you trying to get married off already?"
Xuyou yelped, "Ow, ow, ow! Mother, I-I’m not marrying out, I’m marrying *in*! I’m bringing a Beast Husband into the family for you and Father. That way, I can stay by your side forever and never leave!"
Her words made Si Shuo’s lips twitch into a smile, but her tone was anything but gentle.
"You’re barely bigger than a bean, what are you thinking about all day? First, you should work on that baby fat of yours. I’m afraid you’ll crush your brother and turn him into a crawling bug.
A Hunting Falcon cub would turn into a flightless chicken..."
The Beast Husbands couldn’t help but stifle their laughter. Her words always had a way of painting a vivid picture in one’s mind.
’A flightless chicken...’ Yin Jiang fell silent, resolving never to walk around in front of the little female in his Beast Form again. It would completely ruin his majestic image!
Xuyou huffed. "That’s not true! It’s just baby fat! Everyone’s jealous of how well-fed your cubs are. You’re secretly pleased but pretend to be disgusted with me. I get it. Females always say the opposite of what they mean."
’This cub must have been born just to provoke me!’ Si Shuo was both exasperated and amused. Hearing such grown-up words spoken in a tiny, childish voice made it hard not to laugh out loud. She struggled to maintain her dignity as a mother!
Zhi Chen came over and hugged her leg. "Mother... Xue Zhu wants to see the world."
’Just listen to how well-spoken she is! As expected of a female cub with the Beast Taming superpower. Her EQ is definitely high!’
Si Shuo lifted the little Snow Leopard cub into her arms. "Won’t Xue Zhu be scared?"
As a parent, her cubs’ education was her greatest concern. While all the cubs just wanted to go play, Zhi Chen had framed it as an opportunity for education and broadening her horizons.
Si Shuo had no counterargument. A person’s worldview and experience were a priceless treasure. This was part of her cubs’ foundational education, directly impacting their future growth and survival.
She felt helpless. Surrounded by all her cubs, she could only cast a pleading look at her Beast Husbands. What could she do? She couldn’t say no.
Xu Chi smiled. "A Shuo, let’s all go together. We can use Invisibility and Hidden Breath, so no one will notice us."
Zhi Le chimed in, "Let the cubs have a little trip. They’ll be cooped up in the cave for the next five or six months, after all."
When it came to spoiling the cubs, each of them was more shameless than the last.
The cubs all gazed at her with pitiful eyes. This was the one thing Si Shuo could never resist. She bit her lip. "Are you sure it won’t be a problem?"
The cubs immediately nodded their heads vigorously. One by one, they promised to listen obediently to their Fathers, not to run off, and not to cause trouble. They were just going to the Eagle Falcon Clan for a "visit and training experience."
Si Shuo felt like crying but had no tears. Her cubs not only had powerful superpowers, but their minds were also incredibly sharp. Once again, they had her completely figured out.
The little rascals were so shameless, immediately picking up the new phrase and passing it off as their own, reframing "going out to play" as a "visit and training experience"!
Management at the Beast Soldier Camp was quite lax at this time of year. Tasks were posted daily, and any Beast Soldier who wanted one could simply register, then collect their Crystal Stones immediately upon completion.
Si Shuo’s family had no need for Crystal Stones, so they simply announced that the little female and the cubs couldn’t stand the cold and would be starting their winter hibernation early, thus declining all visitors.
Wei Ce did, however, mention it to Wei Jin.
The weather was growing cold, and Yin Jiang didn’t want Si Shuo to endure a long flight, fearing she’d be uncomfortable. Therefore, he flew ahead first, and Si Shuo would use Teleportation to bring the rest of the group over.
Of course, they had marked their home position with a Thousand Miles Positioning Talisman before leaving. Besides, they had their ultimate trump card, Tuanzi, who could teleport them all home in an instant!
The Donghua Grassland had already grown cold. You could see your breath in the air, and a wild wind raged, carrying the raw harshness of the northwest. The once-green prairie was now a sea of withered yellow, a picture of decay and desolation.
The Donghua Eagle Tribe was built where the grassland bordered a forest. Here, a long, winding, and precipitous cliff rose up, and the cliff face itself was the domain of the Eagle Falcon Clan.
Caves dotted the cliff face. The closer one drew, the more members of the Eagle Falcon Clan could be seen soaring back and forth, their high-pitched shrieks echoing through the air.
Yin Jiang avoided the usual Eagle Falcon patrol routes and landed well away from the cliffs. He sent a message to Si Shuo through their connection, and a second later, the little female materialized out of thin air and tumbled into his arms.
They say the closer you get to home, the more anxious you become. His heart, which had been flustered and apprehensive, to the point he’d even considered turning back, now finally settled.
He held Si Shuo tightly and chuckled. "Shuo’er, thank you for taking me in."
Si Shuo patted his head, her smile radiant. "You were the one who saved me first, Yin Jiang. I hadn’t planned on getting involved at all. After all, there’s so much injustice on the Beast World Continent—I can’t possibly fix everything, can I?"
Yin Jiang shot her an exasperated glare. "Shuo’er, you really don’t have to say things like that!"
