Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 351 - 350: The Couple Brothers Take the Loss
The wheel spun at high speed, then gradually slowed. The pointer swept lazily past one icon after another. Just as it looked like it was about to land on the snake, the pointer stopped, then jolted back two spaces, landing squarely on the cat?!
’The color on the dial was white. Isn’t that a little too convenient?’
Si Shuo froze for a second, then couldn’t resist giving the wheel a flick herself. It spun smoothly. She’d spun it several times before and had never seen it move backward like that.
She pursed her lips and bit down on the talisman. A pair of cat ears sprouted from her head, two sharp fangs poked out past her lips, and a long, slender tail appeared behind her. Even the Beast Skins she wore turned white.
Smiling, Si Shuo pressed close to Xu Chi’s neck, gently scraping her sharp fangs against his skin. "Xu Chi, did you tamper with the wheel just now? Think carefully before you answer. Otherwise, I’ll bite right through your neck!"
Xu Chi tilted his neck back slightly, his arm around her waist. He hummed in affirmation and answered honestly, "I used my Wind Ability. But A shuo never said I wasn’t allowed to use my superpower."
"So, Xu Chi likes it when I’m a Half-beastman cat?" Si Shuo murmured, peppering him with small kisses.
Without her permission, Xu Chi remained perfectly still, but his breathing grew ragged, his chest rising and falling dramatically. "Mhm. A shuo is a Cat Beast, so I wanted to see you in your Half-beastman form."
"Xu Chi, the innate wildness of a Half-beastman can be hard to control. Even though I’m only using a talisman to transform, this form still affects my personality... Are you sure you want to get intimate with me like this?"
Xu Chi just grunted in response, his body and soul aching with desire for her.
He was being so obedient. Si Shuo chuckled and nibbled on his ear. "Xu Chi, have you ever heard the saying? At a time like this, a girl doesn’t love a guy unless he’s a little bad."
The words had barely left her lips when Xu Chi flipped her over and took control...
The bonfire in the cave blazed, branches crackling every now and then. The flickering flames cast shadows on the wall that looked like two lovers in an embrace.
The strong night winds howled for a long time, rustling the trees. When Si Shuo opened her eyes again, Xu Chi’s body was a tragic sight—covered in angry red scratches, with a few bite marks here and there.
She let out a guilty cough and reached out to use her Spring Breeze Technique on him, but Xu Chi caught her hand.
"I... I couldn’t control myself. You were so rough! Let’s see if you’ll dare choose the Half-beastman cat form again. A quick peek is one thing, but why didn’t you let me change back?"
Xu Chi smiled and hugged her tightly. "I don’t want to heal them. I like the marks A shuo left on me. Actually, that saying should go the other way, too: a guy doesn’t love a girl unless she’s a little bad. I like it when A shuo bullies me."
ε＝ε＝ε＝(#>д<)ﾉ! Si Shuo laughed. "So our dear Brother Xu Chi is into this kind of thing, huh? Alright, next time I’ll turn into a Half-beastman snake to bully you!"
Wei Cang had only become Clan Leader because he had powerful backing. Plus, while he had no great achievements, he also made no major mistakes. He was good at keeping up appearances and had actually held the position for over a decade.
Now that his littermate was gone, Yin Jiang had requested to be exiled from the clan, and the elders had seen Wei Cang’s greed for what it was. His time as Clan Leader was over; he was just waiting for the re-election next spring.
Losing the position of Clan Leader and all its privileges—that huge fall from grace would be the best punishment for him. Once he was no longer Clan Leader, a life of impoverished misery would become the theme for the rest of his days.
After teleporting back, Si Shuo was having a meal after a good long sleep when Xiao Cheng sidled over, grinning and eager to take credit. "Sister, last night while you and Brother Xu Chi were off admiring the plum blossoms, you forgot all about Zhu Bang. So, I borrowed a superpower from Sweet Ring..."
"That Zhu Bang is a real piece of work. His feathers got burned off, and he could barely even get around. He was bottling up all this rage and took it all out on his own female."
"So I silently cast a curse to make him impotent. Haha, he... he... sure enough, his spirit was willing, but his flesh was weak..."
Si Shuo was drinking her porridge and sprayed a mouthful everywhere. ’Whoa, is this the kind of gossip I get to hear for free?’ This fox was so wicked, messing with a couple’s private life in the middle of the night.
"Sister, guess what happened when the Curse wore off?" he asked, trying to build suspense.
Si Shuo asked curiously, "What?"
"All those urges came rushing back, but even stronger. He was incredibly eager, and then, right at the critical moment, I called a halt for him again, silently chanting: ’Amen, you’re impotent...’" Xiao Cheng tapped his forehead, chest, and then each shoulder.
Si Shuo couldn’t help but suck in a sharp breath. "And then?"
"Then I’d just wait for the Curse to wear off again. It felt like the effects were stacking. Veins were popping on his forehead. After a few more rounds of this, all that pent-up frustration was enough, and *boom*—he was completely broken. To be specific, the impotence Curse doesn’t work on him anymore."
The other males of the household fell silent. ’So that’s what he was doing last night,’ they thought, ’running back and forth to Sweet Ring for Curses just to play these kinds of games?’ They couldn’t help but feel relieved that this fox happened to be one of their Couple Brothers. If he were an enemy, who knew what kind of wicked schemes he’d be capable of.
Only he could have come up with such a vicious idea and experimental method!
So ruthless. That was Xiao Cheng for you. How could he say such things with that angelic face of his?
Si Shuo grabbed both his ears, ruffling his hair with a suppressed laugh. She had a faint suspicion that the real reason he studied Curses so diligently was that he was afraid she might get a sudden impulse to use *him* as a test subject.
However, an idea sparked in Si Shuo’s eyes. She leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Xiao Cheng, what do you think would happen if his feathers were repeatedly burned? Would they eventually stop growing back at all?"
"I think we should test it out!" Xiao Cheng nodded eagerly. "We can have Brother Gong You use the Time Law on him. We should be heading back soon anyway, so we can’t waste too much time on him."
Gong You raised an eyebrow. "I can make the Time Law affect only his skin. That way, he won’t perceive the passage of time himself and will just think he’s a High level Beastman with powerful healing abilities."
"Besides, the smaller the area my Time Law affects, the greater the time dilation."
And so, in the noble spirit of not corrupting the youth, the number of people frantically running to Sweet Ring for Curses grew from one to three!
A new crop of feathers had just grown in to cover Zhu Bang’s modesty when a hidden ball of fire started chasing him all around the cave. The feathers on his body were licked away into cinders and ash, and all the hair on his head and body was singed clean off.
The feeling of being on fire was agonizing. The dull, sharp, unbearable pain made him scream and howl, but he couldn’t stop running.
Each fifteen-minute session of torture left him numb, his body covered in burns.
The last time, the fireball charged straight into his Dantian and took a leisurely stroll, seemingly baring its teeth in satisfaction.
As Si Shuo watched the flame disappear once more and headed home with her Beast Husbands, she couldn’t shake the feeling that the fireball seemed to have awakened some sort of Spiritual Sense.
"Sweet Ring," Si Shuo asked curiously, "that flame of yours that falls from the sky, can you summon it without using a Curse?"
Sweet Ring froze, tilting her head. ’Can Curses even work like that? Can you just commandeer the tool?’ She tried calling out, "Fireball? Fireball from the sky, are you there?" 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Suddenly, a ball of fire with a wide, grinning mouth and a pair of inverted triangular eyes appeared before her. WHOOSH! "What’s up!"
