Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children

Chapter 568 - 567: Always Leave Yourself Some Leeway

Xu Chi shook his head repeatedly. "That’s not it at all! Those females don’t make flowers bloom."

At the mention of blooming, Si Shuo gritted her teeth. "I wasn’t the one blooming. It was the Spirit Plants I stimulated that bloomed."

Xu Chi wrapped his arm around her waist and whispered, "When I see A shuo, I feel like my heart is blooming. It makes me so happy and joyful."

Si Shuo couldn’t help but laugh and bury her head in his chest. "Xu Chi, your words are getting sweeter and sweeter. Who taught you that?" These corny sweet nothings truly made her heart burst with joy.

"From A shuo, of course. You taught me to say what’s on my mind. I’m happy every day I get to see you," Xu Chi said, stroking the soft back of her head while calmly accepting the envious and jealous stares from his Couple Brothers.

Speaking of Lin City, Xiao Cheng also wagged his four tails. "I was chatting with my brothers in the Black Fox Clan, and I heard about it too.

Beiping City is the northernmost Beast City in the Guiping Beast Country. The neighboring Ningbei Beast City is located next to a wide river with boats coming and going, and it even has stone bridges. It’s actually the most populous and prosperous place among the dozen or so nearby Beast Cities.

It’s the fiefdom of Zongwang, the Beast King’s fourth son. He hasn’t chosen a female yet, and the martial arts competition held every year before winter is specially arranged by the Beast King to attract many females."

Si Shuo loved getting in on the action. "Why don’t we go check it out? Ningbei sounds pretty nice, especially with the river. I wonder if there are lots of fish, shrimp, and crabs. Where do the boats go?"

The males, naturally, had no objections.

After just a short while, the Long-eared Rabbit Clan Leader and the elders hurried over. They had scraped together all the High-level Crystal Stones from their entire clan, barely managing to gather four Level 16 Crystal Stones, thirty-five Level 15 Crystal Stones, and two hundred fifty Level 14 Crystal Stones.

’I must have completely emptied out the Crystal Stones they’ve been saving in their rabbit warren for who knows how long,’ Si Shuo thought.

When they took the Bone Rings, they also complied with Si Shuo’s request and swore an oath to never reveal that they had purchased the Bone Rings from her.

In truth, they wouldn’t have said anything even without an oath. Wealth corrupts, and if a single Bone Ring could make numerous Beastmen green with envy and stir up trouble, ten of them would be even worse.

They planned to use them in secret! With the Bone Rings, they could buy a large quantity of buns, flatbreads, and ramen all at once, load them into the rings, and then disperse to the ten districts of Beiping City.

In each district, their clan members could take food from the one carrying the Bone Ring and sell it from their baskets. As long as they kept the Bone Rings well hidden, it would be convenient, safe, and hassle-free!

「The next day」

As expected, Ning Han and the others came to find Si Shuo to talk about the grand competition in Ning City.

"It’s in two days. Si Shuo, why don’t you come with us? You’re so beautiful and capable, and you’re a Divine Servant. Maybe you’ll be able to capture Zongwang’s heart!" Xuanhuan said with a smile, linking her arm with Si Shuo’s.

The other females nodded in agreement. "There are a lot of good-looking females, but Si Shuo, your looks are the most outstanding. If you beckon any male with your finger, no one would dare refuse."

Si Shuo felt the cold stares of her own males and quickly said with a smile, "No, thank you. Males look for females to have cubs. I’ve injured my body and can’t bear cubs anymore, so he certainly wouldn’t be interested.

And I don’t want the constant worry of being with a male who doesn’t have a Beast Mark. Besides, I’m a Divine Servant with heavy responsibilities and a lot to do. I already have so many males and cubs at home, I really don’t have the energy to deal with anyone else."

The other females were not naive young girls. They knew how formidable males could be, so they just smiled and didn’t press the issue.

However, Miao Ling whispered into Si Shuo’s ear, "Si Shuo, they have Male Caves over there. We could go take a look. Having a different male hold you once or twice once in a while... it’s a unique flavor..."

Si Shuo’s mind was still spinning. She had heard of female caves, but never a Male Cave... A female cave was a Red Light District, so a Male Cave must be... Her pupils constricted. Before her curiosity could even take root, the entire cave turned freezing cold.

Miao Ling wanted to say more, but the words got stuck in her throat.

The other females couldn’t stand the atmosphere in the cave. They wanted to ask Si Shuo to control her males, but they didn’t dare.

Once her guests had left, Si Shuo couldn’t sit still either. She stood up and muttered, "I’ll go ask them what we need to prepare, how far it is..."

She had barely taken a step before a Snow Leopard darted to the entrance and blocked her way.

Zhi Zhan leaned against the entrance with his arms crossed, a smirk on his face as he raised an eyebrow. "Where are you going, little cat? We have Storage Rings. We’re not lacking anything, so what’s there to prepare?"

"She’s probably trying to figure out which one of us to leave behind to make room for someone new, right?" Ji Liang said with a cool hiss.

"The males in the Male Caves have all sorts of tricks; I’d have to concede defeat. In our Central Continent alone, how many males from places like that have charmed a wife..." Xiao Cheng looked at Si Shuo mournfully. "Sister, what kind of male do you want that I can’t satisfy you as?" He could change his appearance at will and effortlessly act out any personality to match.

Xu Chi sighed softly. "A shuo, what kind do you like? Should I go and learn?"

Gong You clicked his tongue. "There’s a river over there, so there are probably Sea Beastmen too. If there are any Little Silver Fish Beastmen, will our good little cub be able to control herself?"

"Peacock Beastmen, White Goose Beastmen, Parrot Beastmen, Golden Pheasant Beastmen..." Yin Jiang smiled, rattling off a list of Bird Clan members.

Wei Ce transformed directly into his Beast Form. "Shuo, you said you liked my Beast Form the best..."

Each and every one of them... Si Shuo wished she could split her heart into seven pieces. They each knew exactly how to hit her where it hurt.

’Her males’ jealousy proved she was a good wife. They would only act this way if they felt secure enough and loved her dearly.’

Si Shuo raised her hand with a serious expression. "This is the Yongchang Continent, where oaths are taken most seriously. Today, I, Si Shuo, swear an oath..."

Before she could finish, Gong You stuffed a dried small fish into her mouth.

Yin Jiang said with an amused laugh, "We’re just teasing you. We all know you always keep your word. It’s just that on the Yongchang Continent, oaths can’t be made lightly. You should always leave yourself some leeway."

What they feared was that during their long beastman lives, one or more of them might leave her forever for various reasons. In that case, new Couple Brothers would need to join.

They understood their little female’s heart and selfishly wished that they alone could protect her. But even more than that, they wished for her to have a peaceful and smooth life!

A smile touched Si Shuo’s eyes as she nibbled on the dried small fish, but inwardly, she silently prayed, ’Great Beast God, I, Si Shuo, swear this oath: for this entire lifetime, I will only have these seven males. I am willing to share my lifespan, to love and protect them, and to grow old together with them.

If I break this vow, may I be punished by the heavens!’

A streak of white light shot in from outside the cave and entered the center of her forehead. The oath had taken effect.

The males’ eyes widened, but they hadn’t been able to stop her in time. Watching their little female continue to happily nibble on her dried small fish as if nothing had happened, their expressions were a mixture of complexity and deep emotion.

What had they ever done to deserve a female who would treat them with such sincerity?
