Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 106 - 105: Seems Like No Other Choice

Xu Lie was taken aback. "Ji Liang, what do you mean?

Not all the tribes and families on the Central Continent are like the Winged Dragons, doing whatever they please.

Take the Qingxi Tribe, for example. On the surface, they’re just and friendly. They’re bound to step in and play the peacemaker, right?

At the very least, if our females can choose a male from their tribe as a mate and gain their protection, they won’t be bullied by the Winged Dragon Clan’s males, right?"

The only solution they could think of was for the females to quickly pick a Beast Husband—or even two or three—with considerable status, background, and strength from among the major factions.

And the Beastmen stationed here were already starting to make their moves, afraid that if they were too late, all the males with high Combat Levels from the well-established tribes and families would be taken!

The Beastmen inside the Protective Shield also turned to look at Ji Liang one after another.

"HISS... We in the Traveling Merchant Team have a saying: a desperate bid never makes for a good deal. We Beastmen from the Southern Continent already have a low status, and survival on the Central Continent is difficult.

If this incident hadn’t happened, everyone would have taken their time choosing a suitable Beast Husband or Couple Brothers.

Only when a union is based on mutual consent, and especially with the binding power of a Beast Mark, can the Beastmen of the Southern Continent receive some measure of protection from their partner’s faction.

Now, with the females rushing to find mates, what real choice do they have?"

Hang He exclaimed in a low voice, "It seems like very few of the males from the tribes and families that have arrived these past few days have a Beast Mark!"

In other words, these males either already have a female, or they haven’t taken a Mark.

If a male isn’t even willing to bear that much responsibility, without the binding of a Beast Mark, who knows if a new mate will be a help or a wolf in the fold?

Si Shuo took a deep breath. "Ji Liang, are you saying it’s highly likely the other tribes and families have secretly struck a deal with the Winged Dragon Clan?

The only difference is that one plunders openly, while the others are just hypocrites in sheep’s clothing?

So the females are just escaping a tiger’s den to jump straight into a wolf’s lair?"

Ji Liang nodded and stroked her hair. "It’s just my guess, but it seems the females have no other choice."

Xu Lie sighed. "The Winged Dragon Clan have huge Beast Forms, they can fly, and they’re cruel, aggressive, petty, and extremely vindictive. Plus, they possess a diluted bloodline of the Ancient Divine Beasts.

They’ve always run rampant on the Central Continent. Even the factions in Guangshou City are unwilling to offend them lightly.

It’s still better for the females to go with other Beastmen than to be taken away by the Winged Dragon Clan."

Hang He’s face paled as he nodded vigorously. "Any female who isn’t from a major family or tribe will be treated as a Female Slave by the Winged Dragon Clan.

They’re either forced to serve them or forced to birth their young endlessly!"

What he didn’t say was that the Beast Husbands of those females were also toyed with by the Winged Dragon Clan’s Beastmen until they were dead or crippled.

Si Shuo had expected the Beastmen of the Central Continent to ostracize and look down on those from the Southern Continent, but she never imagined things would be this vicious. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

The oppressive darkness was suffocating, completely shattering their beautiful dreams of the Central Continent.

Sensing the little female’s turmoil, Ji Liang said in a low voice, "Little Shushu, in order to maintain stable development and governance, the Beast City actually has countless rules and strict discipline.

Even if the Winged Dragons are tyrannical, they have to keep their heads down there. Otherwise, they’d just be giving the other families and tribes an excuse to move against them together.

It’s just that outside the Beast City, strength is the ultimate authority. So, the dangers we face on the road before we reach the Beast District are no less than what we faced in the Dongye Forest."

In the Dongye Forest, they faced Fierce Beasts of varying Levels. But after decades of effort, the Beastmen of the Southern Continent managed to carve out a path to connect with the civilization of the Central Continent.

But on the way to the Beast District, what they faced were cunning Beastmen with unruly passions who loved to form cliques!

Xu Lie nodded in agreement. "That’s right. As long as we can get into the Beast District and follow the rules of the cities, if the females can find one or two Beast Husbands with good backgrounds, their survival can be guaranteed."

In just a moment, the patrolling Beastmen in Dongye Middle Square began shouting for everyone to go to the plaza for a bonfire, saying all females had to attend, or it would be a sign of disrespect to the great Winged Dragon masters.

Everyone had already heard plenty about the Winged Dragon Clan’s infamy long before they arrived.

Who would dare refuse now? Hesitantly, their hearts pounding with anxiety, they all followed the flow of the crowd toward the plaza.

Ji Liang’s voice was grave. "HISS... It’s a matter of choosing the lesser of two evils! In the current situation, the females do indeed need to avoid the Winged Dragons first and choose one or two from among the other males to ensure their survival.

The males must band together. We can’t afford to think we can stay out of it. Otherwise, we’ll easily be picked off one by one by the Beastmen of the Central Continent!

Most Beastmen care about their reputation; they won’t let things get too ugly."

Xu Lie grunted in agreement. "I’ll give the order. Right now, we can’t openly clash with the people from the Central Continent. If the conflict escalates... We’ll have to tell the females to be sweet-talkers, to humor them a bit. We just have to endure this period!

But I’m afraid the females’ options won’t be very good from now on."

No one would want to attract trouble for their family or tribe over a female from the Southern Continent.

After speaking, he clapped Ji Liang on the shoulder and walked away quickly, happening to run into Xu Chi, who was just returning with a cold expression, his body stained with blood. The two men nodded at each other and went their separate ways.

When Xu Chi saw that Si Shuo was alright, he met her worried gaze and explained in a low voice, "A shuo, I’m fine. When the Winged Dragons arrived, it was my turn in the ring. To avoid attracting attention, I deliberately made my loss look a bit more miserable.

It looks like a lot of blood, but it’s really just a few scrapes. The spilled blood just makes it look frightening.

I knew what I was doing. I had to come back and protect you, A shuo!"

Si Shuo reached out to take his hand, but Xu Chi sidestepped to avoid her touch.

"A shuo, these are just minor injuries. With my own healing ability, I’ll be fine soon.

You’re carrying a little cub right now. Every bit of your energy is precious, so don’t use your superpower lightly."

Yimei, assuming Si Shuo’s Wood Element Ability could also heal to some extent, stepped forward and said, "Si Shuo, let me do it?"

As she spoke, she reached her hand toward Xu Chi. A soft, white light emerged from her palm, intertwining as it slowly enveloped him from head to toe.

For males who frequently hunted and fought Fierce Beasts, Xu Chi’s injuries were indeed not serious—just a couple of broken ribs and a slightly shattered wrist.

With his own regenerative abilities, it would have taken at least three to five days to heal, and that was assuming he absorbed energy from Crystal Stones.

The two-minute healing process left Yimei’s face slightly pale, but thankfully, Xu Chi’s wounds were already healed!

Si Shuo pulled out a Twelfth Level Crystal Stone and pressed it into her hand. "Yimei, absorb this quickly. We have a tough fight ahead of us."

’Maybe,’ Si Shuo thought, having just looked through her belongings, ’I can use the name of the Beast God to intimidate these Central Continent Beastmen who think they’re so superior and have no regard for the lives of their own kind!’
