Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 61 - 60: No Pity for Her

Ji Liang’s hand, which had been fanning Si Shuo with a cattail fan, paused. His expression turned grim. "The business with Yu Jie... was that her doing?"

Though phrased as a question, his tone was completely certain.

Gong You nodded, ruffling Si Shuo’s fluffy hair. "Yes. Ruan Ju is quite old, and he comes here every year looking for a female.

"He lost his Beast Mark long ago. He preys on naive females, tricking them into returning to his den with a few Crystal Stones. This time, Chu Man approached him and promised to lay his eggs.

"She told him to go to the deep sea and spread the word about how desirable our darling is. The deep sea is home to many fierce and brutal Rogue Beasts, and Yu Jie is one of them.

"I only found all this out after I tracked down Ruan Ju and used a combination of threats and bribes to get it out of him."

Ji Liang sneered. "She already lost two Beast Husbands with decent Combat Power, but she still hasn’t learned her lesson. And now she’s plotting against us again!

"We can’t let her off easy this time."

Gong You chuckled, a chill in his voice. "I already threw her into the deep sea. Why have Ruan Ju spread the word? Wouldn’t it be better if she went herself?"

Si Shuo pressed her lips together. ’Jealousy really does drive people mad,’ she thought. Chu Man was a Female Saint, a status many females could never hope to achieve in their entire lifetime.

’If she just revealed her status as a Female Saint, what kind of Beast Husband couldn’t she attract? There was no need to be so obsessed with just one or two of them, only to end up ruining herself like this.’

Si Shuo felt no sympathy for her at all. ’If my Beast Husbands weren’t so strong, I’d be the one in the deep sea right now!’

Still, she reminded herself to be content with what she had and not to covet people or things beyond her reach.

Over the past two days, business at the ring toss stall had only grown. The females and their cubs were obsessed with the game; their day didn’t feel complete if they didn’t stop by to play.

Many of the Beastmen had plenty of Crystal Stones and would buy several baskets of bamboo rings just to win a piece of pottery.

Every day, Si Shuo took in several hundred Level 4 Crystal Stones.

Zhi Le and the other three males rotated their duties every half-day. One would watch the stall, two would stay to guard Si Shuo and keep her company, and one would go into the forest to train and hunt.

The hunting grounds were quite far, but they could overcome the distance by using their Beast Marks to teleport.

Each time they rotated, Si Shuo would teleport to the hunting grounds with one Beast Husband and bring another one back, saving them the daily travel time.

The seaside sun was scorching. Even though her Mating Period had passed, Si Shuo still felt a little listless. Her favorite pastime was to curl up in one of her males’ arms under the eaves, squinting her eyes as she caught up on sleep.

She had wanted to organize her Sumeru Space and the other storage spaces the system had given her, but her males were determined to reach the Central Continent. They spent half of every day training ruthlessly in the forest to level up, and the other half was spent watching the stall and keeping her company.

Si Shuo couldn’t bear to see them so overworked, so she behaved herself and didn’t ask them for anything else.

It took them a full three days to absorb the Medicinal Power from the Bone Marrow Cleansing Pills. After another seven or eight days of fighting Fierce Beasts, Zhi Le reached Seventh Level Combat Power, and the other three males’ power levels stabilized.

Xu Chi, Ji Liang, and Gong You were all immensely powerful, having forged their strength through life-or-death training. Once their power levels stabilized, they returned to their previous rhythm of watching the stall and keeping Si Shuo company.

Zhi Le, on the other hand, spent all his time outside of being with her in the forest, focused on increasing his Combat Power. He was determined to break through to Level 8 Combat Power before they left Nanye City.

With that settled, Si Shuo finally exchanged for a few sets of farming tools from her space and started directing her Beast Husbands to plant in the public planting area!

"This plot of land will be half for fruit and half for vegetables. The plot in the middle is for Floating Wheat, corn, and rice, and this one on the side is for medicinal herbs."

She hadn’t been idle for the past few days, having made a list of everything that needed to be done. Now was the perfect time to start checking things off.

She had already prepared the seeds for each plot and even consulted the planting instruction manual.

Now, all she had to do was give orders, while the males, bare-chested, grabbed their tools and got to work.

Although it was their first time farming, they were all quick and meticulous. Each took responsibility for a section—tilling, sowing, and watering—and they finished the entire job in just an hour or two!

When Si Shuo woke from a nap, the crops in the planting area had already sprouted, covering the ground in a layer of delightful, fuzzy green.

Every day, Gong You watered them once in the morning and once in the evening. As a Water Ability User, the Water Spiritual Power he released was rich, and he could control the spray to water the plants evenly, finishing the job in just a few minutes.

Si Shuo looked into her Sumeru Space with her mind’s eye. Inside, besides fruit and seafood, were the many Fierce Beasts her husbands had hunted, all piled up in a disorderly mess. 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

In their own individual spaces, things were simply packed into baskets and stacked in layers.

This was when they really felt the lack of a Stone or Gold Element superpower user.

Seeing his little female’s face scrunch up in frustration, Ji Liang smiled and pulled her into his arms, hissing softly,

"Little Shuoshuo, don’t forget that I have an Ice Ability. I can make ice shelves to help you partition the space.

"Later, when you find a Stone Element Beast Husband, you can just replace the ice."

Si Shuo’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly. "Of course! Why didn’t I think of that? Time is frozen in the Sumeru Space and our personal spaces. Things come out exactly as they went in—heat and smells don’t dissipate. Even if I put a hot dish on an ice shelf, it’ll still be warm when I take it out!"

Full of excitement, she immediately started gesturing to Ji Liang, describing the size of the shelves she wanted.

The Sumeru Space was huge, about the size of a standard athletic field surrounded by a 400-meter track, and it was ten meters high.

"I want the shelves to be ten meters high! Can you make them with sliding drawers? I’ll need several different sizes... Oh, ten meters is too high; the shelves would be unstable. But I could arrange them in a crisscross pattern..."

Following her specifications, Ji Liang began to sculpt shelves from ice. Each unit was two meters high and ten meters wide. Half of each unit consisted of sliding drawers of various sizes, while the other half was open shelving.

Once he made the first one, the rest were easy.

Si Shuo moved the ice shelves into her space and began sorting the fruits, placing labels on the front of the drawers for easy access.

Meanwhile, Xu Chi used his Wind Ability to process the seafood without even touching it, preparing it for future cooking. He even cleaned the fish scales and shrimp shells, which he then air-dried, ground into a powder, and stored in pottery jars.

For their own personal spaces, they made one wall of shelves with drawers, leaving the rest as open shelving.

With the ice shelves partitioning everything, their space was much more efficiently organized. All the fruit, seafood, and Fierce Beast meat they had collected so far only managed to fill three rows of shelves in the Sumeru Space!

One day, as Si Shuo was instructing Gong You on how to make sausages from cured long tusked pork, there was a knock at the main gate. A familiar voice called out, "Si Shuo! Si Shuo, are you home?

"This is wonderful! I came to Nanye City and heard you were alive and had even become a Female Saint! I’m overjoyed!"

Gong You raised an eyebrow, his expression silently asking, ’Who is that?’

Si Shuo’s face fell. She mouthed back, "My older half-sister, Yu Jiao!"

Gong You sneered, then went to open the gate after putting things away.
