Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 413 - 412: He Was Too Naive

Xiao Cheng added, "However, only Warriors and females who have a connection to Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan Members can receive the Fox Clan’s Blessing.

So, to receive the Fox Clan’s Blessing, females must take in a male from the Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan. As for the males, they must follow a female from the clan.

Of course," he paused for a moment, "Sister, you know that in Beast City, many families and tribes don’t place much importance on the Beast Mark. Males fear being bound by it, so they often find a female long before the mark is applied.

So, the females of the Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan bear children for Warriors, but they aren’t necessarily those Warriors’ mates."

’Surrogacy?’ Si Shuo’s eyes widened. ’You can do that?! The Beast World Continent truly is something else; they’re so open-minded about this kind of thing.’

"The males who pin their hopes on the Warrior competition to have cubs through the Fox Clan’s Blessing value their offspring greatly. So, this clan rule also serves to broaden the clan’s network and find a measure of protection.

Originally, the Fox Clan’s Blessing was something the ancestor sought from the Beast God to protect future generations. The ancestor believed that it didn’t matter if the clan members were a bit weak in strength; as long as they were numerous and had good talent, the clan would continue to prosper.

Who would have thought that after several thousand years, it would evolve into this..."

Xiao Cheng scratched his head. "Sister, I’ve snuck out to watch before, too.

Especially after I found out I was a male, I fantasized that one day I would overcome all obstacles on the fighting stage, become a truly powerful Warrior, and wait for a little female to come and claim me.

And then, I would get really conflicted. What if I didn’t like that female? Could I refuse? And if I refused, would any other female still want me?

I never dared to imagine my own female would be so beautiful and sweet, someone you could cherish with all your heart."

Zhi Le also held Si Shuo’s hand. "I never thought I would be able to couple with kitty. I thought I was going to be alone for my whole life."

He was a half-crippled Level 3 Beastman who could barely support himself when he met his little female. He never could have imagined that one day he would have her, their cubs, and powerful Couple Brothers by his side, all protecting their small family together with mutual respect. And he himself had become a Peak Level 12 Beastman.

Si Shuo chuckled lightly and swung their hands. "Our lives will only get better and better from now on!"

Just as she said that, Xiao Zhuang had just kicked an Eleventh Level Beastman off the fighting stage and grinned in their direction. "Xiao Cheng, come on up and let’s have a go? Let’s see if you’ve made any progress since you started following your little female.

You’re following a Female Saint, after all. Your strength should be at least a little stronger than mine, right?"

He was digging a pit for Xiao Cheng, trying every which way to belittle him.

Xiao Cheng rotated his wrists, but before he could speak, Xiao Bei appeared out of nowhere and leaped directly onto the fighting stage.

"Xiao Zhuang, I’ll fight you," Xiao Bei sneered. "Let’s see which of us is qualified to compete for the Clan Leader’s position!"

When Xiao Zhuang saw the single cyan Beast Pattern on Xiao Bei’s neck, indicating Level 13, his expression turned a little ugly. "You... weren’t you uninterested in the Clan Leader position?"

Xiao Bei smiled. "I used to be uninterested in the Clan Leader position. I just wanted to live a peaceful and stable life with my little female, watching over her and our cubs.

But yesterday I discovered that if a male has only strength but no ambition, he’ll just be seen as a threat and targeted everywhere.

In that case, I might as well become the Clan Leader myself and work for the welfare of our clan. That’s better than letting certain people with ill intentions corrupt the spirit of our Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan!"

Xiao Zhuang was furious. "You... you’re a Level 13 Beastman now. Isn’t... isn’t this just bullying?"

Previously, the two were of a similar Level, and there wasn’t much difference in their strength. Overall, Xiao Bei had more combat experience and was actually a cut above.

It’s just that the two had never had a proper fight, so Xiao Zhuang could still claim to the public that their strengths were comparable.

Now that Xiao Bei had taken a Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill and gone up a level, there was no need to even fight on this stage. He would definitely win!

Xiao Zhuang felt a tinge of regret. Even a cornered rabbit will bite. He shouldn’t have provoked Xiao Bei for no reason, making him start competing for the Clan Leader position.

Xiao Bei raised an eyebrow. "What, since when has our Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan’s Warrior competition been tied to Level? Doesn’t whoever holds the stage advance? Challenging a higher Level is common. What’s this? You want to compete for the Clan Leader position, but you don’t even have this much skill?"

Xiao Cheng also joined in the heckling. "That’s right! Xiao Zhuang, you’re the future Clan Leader of our Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan! You have to let everyone see your prowess.

What’s there to be afraid of? He just broke through to Level 13; his realm isn’t even stable yet. If you don’t defeat him now, you won’t get another chance!"

Xiao Zhuang thought about it and agreed. This was the only chance. If he conceded defeat today, it would be very difficult to regain his standing later.

Seeing his expression waver, Xiao Cheng continued, "It’s rare to see Brother Xiao Bei and Brother Xiao Zhuang compete. You two should add some stakes to make it more exciting. Isn’t that right, brothers?"

"Yeah, Xiao Bei and Xiao Zhuang are the most capable of the younger generation to compete for the next Clan Leader. I say, you two should stop bickering and just settle it today on the stage. Save us from wasting resources training several candidates..."

"Right, right, the clan’s resources are already limited. How can we support several candidates? I think some people are using the excuse of ’training candidates’ to benefit their own children... Do they really think the clan’s resources are their own? That’s all stuff that we, the entire clan, have worked hard to earn..."

"And some people who clearly can’t become Clan Leader are already starting to throw their weight around... At least show us some strength that we can respect..."

Everyone had been dissatisfied with Xiao Zhuang for a long time, but Xiao Bei, the only one who could rival him in strength, had no ambition and only thought of protecting his small family.

Now that Xiao Bei was finally stepping up, everyone naturally took the opportunity to vent their previous grievances.

"Nonsense!" the Clan Leader rushed over, huffing, and rapped his Scepter hard on the ground. "I’m still old and vigorous. I can be Clan Leader for at least another thirty to fifty years! How did a simple stage fight suddenly get tied to the candidates? One person acts foolishly, and the rest of you join in the heckling? Do you think I, the Clan Leader, don’t exist?"

He then turned to Xiao Cheng with a cold face. "You brat, you’ve had a mischievous mind since you were a child. Don’t tell me you brought your whole family here this time because you want to compete to be a Clan Leader candidate."

Xiao Cheng squeezed Si Shuo’s palm and chuckled. "Clan Leader, you’re actually right. Seeing what happened to Brother Xiao Bei has given me a sense of crisis.

What little female doesn’t want her male to be powerful? And how does one show that power? By being able to compete for the position of Clan Leader, of course.

I don’t want to be like Brother Xiao Bei, having all that strength but not showing it, only to be looked down on by his little female and end up getting his bond broken... sigh."

Xiao Bei... He had been too naive. If he had realized this sooner, his little female wouldn’t have broken their bond.

It wasn’t just Xiao Bei. The other males who had secretly participated in the Southwest Forest hunt, whose strength had greatly increased, and who had even quietly broken through to new levels—all their minds began to stir.
