Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 105 - 104: Surrounded

Si Shuo was overjoyed to hear this. ’A Pet Egg from the system couldn’t possibly be ordinary!’

The system continued to answer: After the host gives birth to the cub, the eggshell will crack open once it is bound to her.

’As long as it can hatch, that’s fine,’ Si Shuo thought, relieved. Perhaps it was because she had just become pregnant, but her body was filled with an indescribable sense of fatigue. Even after waking up, eating, and drinking her fill, she still felt lazy and couldn’t muster any energy.

Ji Liang also noticed something was off and fed her a Twelfth Level Crystal Stone.

A pure and abundant Spiritual Power surged into her, instantly sweeping away the heavy fatigue. The effect was immediate, but it also made her heart ache over the cost.

Ji Liang coaxed her with an amused smile, "Little Shushu, don’t feel bad about the Crystal Stone. That was the cub in your belly sending you a distress signal." 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

"The more talented the cub, the greater its need for energy. We’re not worried about you absorbing High Level Crystal Stones; in fact, we’re happy about it!"

"Others can’t even absorb High level Crystal Stones if they want to, and would just waste most of the energy."

Hearing his explanation, Si Shuo’s perspective immediately broadened. She counted on her fingers and said:

"Our family has already won two courtyards and fields. We should be content and know when to quit while we’re ahead. Once Zhi Le and Gong You get back, we can’t keep winning three to five matches in a row so conspicuously."

"But winning a match or two occasionally should be fine. That way, we won’t provoke the Qingxi Tribe, and we can take the opportunity to earn some more High level Crystal Stones."

Ji Liang raised an eyebrow. "That’s what Xu Chi and I were planning, too. We have to control the number of matches we win. We need to at least wait until we’ve challenged all one hundred or so of the reigning champions. Otherwise, the Qingxi Tribe will just make up some excuse to ban us from competing."

Si Shuo nodded, her eyes darting thoughtfully. ’I still haven’t tried to replicate Crystal Stones. But I’m pregnant right now. I’ll give it a try after I’ve delivered the little one.’

’If I can do it, I’ll prepare plenty of High level Crystal Stones before I plan to get pregnant each time!’

Knowing the little female of the family was pregnant, Zhi Le and Gong You collected many fruits that females enjoyed, gathered all sorts of bird eggs, and hunted Fierce Beasts with good quality meat while they were on their spring hunt mission.

Although Si Shuo wasn’t carrying their cubs, they were one family and had to pull together. They had been united and inseparable from the very beginning. Only then could their future be more prosperous, their relationships closer, and their lives free of much strife and trouble.

Besides, they didn’t see it as raising the cub in Si Shuo’s belly, but rather as providing for their own female. The cub was just part of the package.

Zhi Le and Gong You were full of drive, determined to get a good ranking so they could protect their little female and her cub together!

As Si Shuo drank her almond goat milk, she thought of the twenty thousand Beast Coins she had just acquired. Her fingers started to itch; she really wanted to buy something big.

With her eyes slightly lowered, she browsed the system store, picking out some nutritional supplements and snacks for herself, which cost about two thousand coins. After buying some undergarments as well...

Si Shuo mulled it over for a long time before purchasing a cost-effective instant camera for three thousand coins, which came with colored ink and photo paper.

"Ji Liang, smile!" she said, holding up the instant camera. She rested her head on Ji Liang’s shoulder and made a peace sign.

Ji Liang cooperatively curled his lips into a smile, wrapped an arm around her shoulder, and pressed his cheek against hers.

They all knew their little female had a very rare mobile phone that could take pictures, record videos, play music, and play games, so they were no longer surprised by the camera’s flash.

The camera spat out a black sheet of photo paper. Si Shuo held it in her hand and fanned it continuously. The blackness on the paper gradually faded, and the photo of the two of them slowly came into focus!

Si Shuo took out an all-purpose acrylic marker and wrote on the back of the photo: *Third day after arriving at Dongye Middle Square in the Central Continent. Pregnant with a Horned Deer Cub. A day where Ji Liang was the only one accompanying Si Shuo. A memento.*

Ji Liang found it fascinating and took several pictures of Si Shuo in return. She made a heart with her hands, flashed a peace sign, rested her chin in her palm, and gave a tilted-head salute. In every shot, her smile was radiant, her eyes sparkling with flecks of sunlight.

Si Shuo put one photo in each of her males’ spatial storages! ’Life needs a sense of ceremony,’ she thought. ’Even in another world, there are so many moments worth capturing with a camera.’

Not long after, Gray Fox Hang He came running over at top speed. It wasn’t just him; many other Beastmen were also rushing urgently toward their respective Beast Skin Bags, as if some major emergency had occurred.

But not one of these males was shouting or making a commotion, as if they were wary of something.

Si Shuo pulled Ji Liang along to go find Yimei and listen in.

Hang He first grabbed a cup of cool water from the side and drank it all in one go. GULP, GULP. Only then did he gasp for breath and begin to speak:

"The Winged Dragon Clan is here! The one leading them is their clan’s second-in-command. There are over three hundred Beastmen in total, all with Combat Power at the Eleventh and Twelfth Levels. They’re riding Cloud Stepping Horses and they arrived without a sound!"

"The workshop Leader of Dongye Middle Square received them personally. The moment that second-in-command arrived, he ordered the workshop Leader to hold a grand bonfire party tonight and invite all the females in the workshop to attend."

"I’ve heard that the Winged Dragon Clan, like the Qingxi Tribe, doesn’t place much importance on Beast Marks."

"But the Qingxi Tribe values its reputation, and when it comes to mating and reproduction, they emphasize mutual consent. The Winged Dragon Beastmen, however, love to take what they want by force."

"Any little female they set their sights on rarely escapes..."

At this point, Hang He’s voice grew urgent. "In previous years, they would detour around several workshops on their way and wouldn’t arrive this early."

"No one was prepared this time. The Winged Dragon Clan has already surrounded the entire Dongye Middle Square and won’t allow a single female to leave!"

"What do we do? Winged Dragon Beastmen are not gentle with females at all. They aren’t interested in having cubs. Anyone who gets chosen by them... even if she doesn’t die, she’ll be half-dead by the end of it..."

Everyone’s expression changed drastically. Just then, Xu Lie of the Dongzhou Merchant Team strode over quickly.

Pan Zhou took down the Protective Shield, and once Xu Lie was inside, he set it up again.

"Ji Liang, Pan Zhou, you’ve heard the news about the Winged Dragon Clan’s arrival, haven’t you?" Xu Lie asked, his face grim.

Ji Liang and Pan Zhou exchanged a look and nodded.

"Our Dongzhou Merchant Team has been traveling between the Central Continent and the Southern Continent for so many years, and we’ve always made a point to avoid the Winged Dragon Clan in our timing and routes."

"This year we traveled with the team from Puchang City. Both our teams have a large number of females, and thirty percent of them are Female Saints."

"They couldn’t have gotten news ahead of time and are deliberately ambushing us, could they?"

Ji Liang narrowed his golden eyes. "Hsss... and they chose a time when half our Beastmen are away for the spring hunt, leaving the females with few Guardians. It’s hard not to think there’s more to it!"

Pan Zhou gritted his teeth in anger. "I’d say it’s eighty percent certain!"

"They wouldn’t dare casually provoke the females from the large tribes and powerful families."

"But we Beastmen from the Southern Continent have no backing here. Now that they have us cornered in this workshop, even if we’re humiliated, no one will come to seek justice for us."

Si Shuo pressed her lips together, her heart pounding.

’Xu Chi can turn invisible, Ji Liang can use point-to-point Teleportation, and I can teleport to Zhi Le and Gong You’s side anytime. My own safety is guaranteed.’

’But what about Yimei and the other females from the Southern Continent?’

Ji Liang squeezed her hand, silently comforting her. He frowned and said in a low, heavy voice, "I’m afraid it’s not just the Winged Dragon Clan. The Beastmen from the other tribes and families will also be happy to see this happen!"
