Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 391 - 390: The First Awakening

Gong You had chosen a great spot by the sea. It was well-hidden, with a cave carved into the cliffside and an orchard nearby. The beach in front was soft and sandy, and most importantly, they could go foraging on the shore at night!

This was one of Si Shuo’s favorite activities. And with the Time Law, the time they had to forage was extended, long enough for her to scoop up most of the seafood that hadn’t returned to the sea with the receding tide.

It was good exercise, enriched their dinner table, and brought her immense satisfaction, both body and soul.

Whenever the cubs returned with their Father, they loved to grab their little pails and tongs and run straight here, barefoot.

The little female’s preferences were exceptionally clear and simple. Zhi Le watched as she earnestly nibbled on the small fish Gong You had left for her, her star-like eyes curving into crescents. ’What a greedy little kitty,’ he thought.

The cubs were so worn out from training with the males that whenever they came back via Teleportation, all they did was eat and catch up on sleep.

Right now, the Snow Leopard cubs were already snoring softly. Zhi Le’s eyes flickered, and he swept the little female into his arms, carrying her to a nearby shallow cove.

It was a pool more than a meter deep, enclosed by rocks, making it relatively safe and suitable for the little female and the cubs to swim and bathe.

The temperature by the sea was pleasant now. Although it got a little cooler at night, the seawater retained the day’s warmth, making it comfortably heated.

Zhi Le placed the little female into the pool, then plunged in himself and disappeared.

Si Shuo looked around at the pitch-black surroundings. The whistling sea breeze and the SPLASH of waves against the rocks carried a chilling air. It felt as if she were all alone in the world. ’I’m a little scared,’ she thought. Just as she was about to speak, she felt something touch her leg.

Her eyes narrowed slightly. She knew without thinking that it was Zhi Le. ’I never thought he had such a mischievous and, ahem, improper side to him!’

But she liked it. It was just... that touch felt a little off. It was cool and smooth, not like a person’s touch.

Si Shuo’s heart clenched. She couldn’t help but dunk her head into the water, only to see a giant fish in the pool?!

A scream caught in her throat, because she saw it clearly now. It wasn’t just any fish—it was a Silverfish, the source of the small fish she craved so much.

The usual small fish weren’t large, only about the width of two fingers, and she could devour more than ten at a time. Mmm, and that was the royal treatment she received because she was pregnant with fish cubs.

She ate them every day and still couldn’t get enough; they were just too delicious. And now, such a huge, plump fish had appeared right in front of her.

Si Shuo felt a string snap in her head. If she weren’t in the water, she definitely would have let out an AWOO. She threw her arms open, clung tightly to the fish’s body, and opened her mouth, revealing sharp, silvery fangs as she took a big AWOO-bite.

"HSSS," the big fish let out a familiar man’s voice in pain. Si Shuo froze, then sheepishly stopped biting and started licking his wound. ’Mmm, so tasty...’

Annoyance and the pleasure of tasting a delicacy flashed in Si Shuo’s eyes. ’I’m completely at the mercy of my instincts.’

Zhi Le transformed into his half-Silverfish Beastman form, held her, and broke the surface of the water. He nuzzled her amusingly. "Kitty, when you saw the Silverfish, did you even wonder where your Beast Husband went?"

She had only been thinking about hugging it and chewing on it. Si Shuo shamelessly grinned. "How can you blame me? You’re the one who turned into such a massive Silverfish for no reason. How was my brain supposed to function?

"Imagine a mouse falling into a granary. It’s a testament to how worldly your little female is that I didn’t get scared silly."

Zhi Le nibbled lightly on her chin. "You’re always the one eating dried silverfish. How about I eat you today?"

A light tremor ran through Si Shuo. ’This is strangely thrilling,’ she thought. ’I never expected that the food I love to chew on would chew on me in return. It gives me an indescribable sense of excitement and joy.’ She almost wanted to cheer him on: ’Hurry up and swallow me...’

When Yin Jiang appeared with Kunzi and Little Hong, all three of them were beaming with joy.

Si Shuo couldn’t help but smile and ask, "Why is everyone so happy?"

"Mother," Little Hong snuggled into her arms, bursting with the desire to share. "My brother is amazing! Even though he was the last of all the cubs in the family to awaken his superpower. But besides the superpower you prayed to the Beast God for us to have, my brother awakened his own—the powerful, attack-oriented Thunder Ability!"

"Whoa," Si Shuo said. "So Kunzi is a late bloomer who’s catching up. That’s great! It looks like this training expedition has really been a huge help to the kids. At this rate, by the time we leave, the cubs will all have some ability to protect themselves."

Yin Jiang smiled and hugged her tightly. "Shuo’er, ever since Father and Mother left me, one after another, every day I’ve spent with you has been the happiest of my life." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

Si Shuo smiled, pressing her lips together. It was rare for the quiet Yin Jiang to express his joy to her like this. "I’m also very happy that I was able to snatch you back from the Beast God..."

"Brother, why do I feel like we’re just third wheels?" Little Hong sighed. "Father and Mother’s relationship is too good. So good that even we cubs can’t get in between them. What should we do?"

Kunzi, being a male cub, didn’t have such complicated thoughts. He laughed and pulled her away. "Come on, little sis! Big brother will take you to go electrocute some fish to eat!"

’The Beast God really does favor Mother,’ he thought. While training with everyone, he had discovered how powerful the Thunder Ability was and had desperately yearned for it, wondering how great it would be if he could awaken it too.

He never expected to actually awaken it. Although he was still young and didn’t have much Spiritual Power stored in his body—he couldn’t do area attacks like Father Zhi Le—he could focus his electricity to deal with a single target!

Hearing this, Little Hong’s attention was diverted. "M-hm, m-hm," she nodded, running out with him.

Watching the two little ones’ cheerful departing figures, Si Shuo cherished the person before her even more. She couldn’t help but pray silently in her heart: ’Whether it’s the system or the Beast God, we don’t ask for much. Superpowers, special advantages—all we want is for our family to live together peacefully and happily in this Beast World. No matter how much hardship we face or how much we suffer, as long as we’re together and our hearts are united, there’s nothing we can’t overcome!’

It was as if a golden light flashed through her mind. Si Shuo felt her entire body become clear and comfortable, as though the planet’s gravitational pull had weakened.

Her sudden epiphany also benefited Yin Jiang, who was holding her. Unable to hold back, he broke through directly to Level 15, his power stabilizing firmly at the Middle Fifteenth Level!

You have to understand, it hadn’t been long since his last breakthrough. It had taken him half a year of accumulation to reach the peak of Level 14, and advancing from the Peak of Level 14 to Level 15 required a combination of talent, accumulation, and opportunity—none of which could be missing.

The feeling of entering Level 15 was completely different. Yin Jiang couldn’t resist carrying Si Shuo on his back as he soared through the sky, letting out a triumphant cry. ’This is great,’ he thought. ’Now I can better protect the little female and our cubs.’

"Shuo’er, now we’ll have another layer of security when we go to the western side of the Southwest Forest!"

Si Shuo nodded vigorously. "My Yin Jiang is so amazing! The best fighter among the Flying Beasts, and the best flier among the fighting Beastmen..."

Kunzi felt that line sounded very familiar, but he just held the few fish he had caught, and, imitating his Father, began to gut and scale them before starting a fire to roast them.

’I’ve awakened my innate superpower now. I’m a grown-up, so I have to be self-reliant!’

"Oh, my dear cub, you’re becoming more and more capable, just like your Father," Si Shuo said, drawn over by the smell. She sat down next to Little Hong, and they both started staring at the fish.

Yin Jiang, however, looked from the fire to Kunzi in surprise...
