Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 47 - 46: Shouldn’t Have Run My Mouth Off
A lean young man leaped onto the central Beast Fighting Platform. His expression was frigid—a cold that pierced skin and bone like thousand-year-old glacial ice, making one’s very soul tremble.
But the feeling was fleeting. It was only on the second glance that people noticed his stunningly beautiful, androgynous features.
His short, ink-blue hair was artfully disheveled, and his eyes were an elegant, dark green. Framed by these two bold strokes of color, his features were exceptionally handsome!
He was truly a memorable male.
"Gong You has never revealed his Beast Form," Ji Liang hissed. "He appeared out of nowhere Five Beast Years ago. Back then, he only had Level 5 Combat Power, but he became famous for his incredible speed, his reckless fighting style, his ability to fight opponents above his Level, and, of course, his good looks."
Hearing the jealousy in his voice, Si Shuo couldn’t help but stifle a laugh as she gently poked him. "No matter how jealous you get, you’re not going to become Couple Brothers with him."
Ji Liang shook his head helplessly. "Little Shushu, you just don’t realize how wonderful you are. How can you have so little confidence in yourself?"
Never mind the young female’s cleverness and gentle charm that made anyone who got to know her want to give her the world. Her beauty alone was enough for her to stand out in a crowd of Beastmen.
She was his equal in looks!
"It’s because I’m self-aware. Gong You has been here for five years and hasn’t been claimed by a single Female Saint. You think he’d go with me?" In her past life, Si Shuo had honed an optimistic mindset; she never coveted what she couldn’t have.
As a conch horn sounded, Gong You instantly closed the distance.
He was so fast that by the time the opposing male raised an arm to block, Gong You had already sliced a shallow gash across his neck.
The wound was small, but the insult was immense.
The male sneered and transformed into his Beast Form, instantly occupying seventy percent of the space on the Beast Fighting Platform.
To the massive beast, Gong You was like a pesky horsefly—incapable of inflicting any real damage, but exceptionally irritating.
He thrashed about in a frenzy, stomping all over the platform and sending chunks of stone flying, but he couldn’t land a single hit on Gong You. Instead, his own body was soon covered in small cuts that barely broke the skin, each one beading with blood.
The Long Tusked Elephant Beastman was genuinely angry now, and also panting from exertion. He stopped moving and stood his ground, instantly unleashing the oppressive aura of a Level 10.
Even through the Protective Shield, the spectating Beastmen felt like they could see the aura, surging like a tidal wave!
A Beastman’s Combat Power was divided into color levels every three Levels, and the gap between these color levels was an almost insurmountable chasm. A Level 10 Beastman could easily handle ten Level 9 Beastmen at once, which just went to show the disparity between the two tiers.
Under such an oppressive aura, the Long Tusked Elephant Beastman was confident that no matter how skilled Gong You was, his blurred, fleeting figure would be forced to solidify.
The moment he locked onto Gong You, a single punch would be enough to kill or cripple him.
Just as he was preening with confidence, a chilling sensation touched his abdomen.
He looked down to see Gong You’s hand pressed flat against his belly, right over the location of his Crystal Core.
"You lose." Gong You’s lips curled into a cold smirk. He took a step back, tilted his head, and raised an eyebrow.
Even though Gong You had already retreated, the Long Tusked Elephant Beastman still felt a piercing chill. ’Did I just have a brush with the Beast God?’ he wondered.
Only after the Long Tusked Elephant bowed in defeat and handed Gong You a Level 9 Crystal Stone did the crowd below erupt in thunderous cheers. "Gong You! Gong You! You’re incredible...!"
Immediately, a young female ran to the foot of the platform, craning her neck to announce her lineage and ask Gong You to be her Beast Husband.
But Gong You didn’t even spare her a glance. He looked down, rotating his wrist, and shot a cold look over the crowd. "Who else wants to challenge me?"
That severe, aloof expression of his, which seemed to hold everyone in contempt, only made the females fall for him even harder. It was intoxicating to watch, and they began to howl wildly.
"Gong You, be my Beast Husband!"
"Gong You, I want to have your cubs...!" 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎
"Gong You, Gong You, I’ll give you female cubs!" A familiar voice, a familiar line.
Si Shuo turned to see Chu Man excitedly pitching herself again. Amused, she chuckled and joined in with the boisterous crowd. Swept up in the passionate, concert-like atmosphere, she cupped her hands around her mouth and yelled, "Gong You, you drive me wild, you make me crazy, I’d bang my head against a wall for you!"
Sensing her excitement, Si San, which had been coiled obediently around her wrist, suddenly sprang to life. In a single, precise leap, it launched itself straight into Gong You’s arms and began to writhe coquettishly...
Si Shuo was speechless. ’This shameless little thing couldn’t possibly be mine.’
’This is my fault,’ she thought. ’I shouldn’t have gotten carried away and run my mouth off. I’ve influenced this simple-minded fat whip.’
With the entire crowd now staring at her, she patted Ji Liang, her face a wooden mask. "This is too embarrassing. Let’s bail."
Ji Liang hissed, "Little Shushu, you did the right thing! You have to be proactive when you meet an outstanding male!
’It’s just a shame that when I met you, Little Shushu, you hadn’t come around to this way of thinking yet.
’I wish you’d be crazy enough to bang your head against a wall for me...’
’Is this really the time to be praising me for being so proactive?’
Meanwhile, on the platform, the fat whip had wrapped itself around Gong You’s arm and was relentlessly trying to pull him toward Si Shuo.
How much strength could one fat whip possibly have? And yet, Gong You actually stumbled under its pull, all the way to the edge of the Beast Fighting Platform. His dark green eyes were fixed on Si Shuo with a chilling stare.
Chu Man quickly interjected, "Gong You, you might not be aware, but that Si Shuo is a Mutated Cat. She was born frail and deaf. Her fertility is low; there’s no way she could bear you cubs.
"I am the Female Saint Chu Man, from the Minghu Tribe..."
Si Shuo glared at her. "I don’t need the ’Female Saint’ Chu Man to introduce me, thank you very much!"
She poked Ji Liang, trying to get him to leave, but he was frozen stiff and wouldn’t budge an inch.
Over on the platform, Gong You continued to stare at her, not even blinking.
Si Shuo felt she had to say something to save face for him in this awkward situation. Bracing herself, she waved with a forced smile. "Hi, Gong You. I’m Si Shuo. W-would you be willing to come with me?"
Even as she said it, she was already braced for a cold, hard rejection. Her mind had already wandered, and she began to wonder if she should try to strike a business deal with the city officials.
Crystal Stones didn’t just represent immense purchasing power; they were also a precious resource for Cultivation.
’There has to be give-and-take between males and females,’ she thought. ’I can’t just take their kindness for granted.’
’Every Crystal Stone they hunt for is obtained at great risk. They’re reluctant to Devour any themselves unless it’s absolutely necessary, giving them all to me instead.’
’I want to earn Crystal Stones to support them, too, so they don’t always have to struggle so much.’
Gong You’s voice was cold and deep. "Go with you to do what?"
Si Shuo’s mind blanked for a moment. "Huh?"
Ji Liang gave a slight nudge with his head. Si Shuo, who hadn’t been holding on tightly, was pushed forward.
Just like the fat whip Si San, she squeezed her eyes shut, her heart hammering in her chest as she sailed through the air in a perfect parabola, landing precisely in Gong You’s arms.
