Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 113 - 112: Nightmare

Gong You couldn’t help but hug Si Shuo tightly. "My sweet baby, I’d give you my life!"

Si Shuo chuckled and patted his head. "Silly Gong You, what would I do with your life?

"I just want all of you to be well, and to have a cub with each of my Beast Husbands. For our family to be safe and happy—that’s enough for me."

But the simplest wishes are often the hardest to fulfill, requiring great effort from every one of them.

Gong You hummed in a muffled voice. "Whatever my sweet baby wants, I’ll make it happen for you. You have to be well, too."

"I have the Beast God’s blessing, I have all of you protecting me, and I have plenty of ways to save my own skin. Of course I’ll be fine," Si Shuo was getting sleepy and nuzzled his head. "Goodnight, Gong You. Tomorrow, I want to eat lots and lots of small fish..."

"Alright, alright, you can even eat me if you want..." Gong You pulled her into his arms and chuckled softly. ’She’s about to be a Mother, yet all she thinks about all day is food.’

But he loved the feeling of feeding her. Watching her eat with such relish made him happier than eating it himself.

’A day’s journey away from Guangshou City in the Central Continent, there is a sizable sea region extremely rich in fish and shrimp. There will surely be snacks my little female will love, and I’ll stock up on some then.’

’I have to admit it, a Big Fish Beast and a Cat Beast female are truly a perfect match!’

The night was as thick as ink. The entire Dongye Middle Square was exceptionally quiet, with even the chirping of insects growing sparse. The CRACKLE of damp wood in the bonfire carried far into the distance.

The Eagle Tribe had also sent a team to the spring hunt this time.

Ever since being brought back by his Eagle Clan tribesmen, Yin Jiang had lost almost all will to live. He wouldn’t eat, drink, or speak, merely leaning against the entrance of his tent and staring blankly into the distance.

At this moment, his eyes were closed, but he could clearly hear the hushed, almost whispering voices of several males on night watch. His dry, peeling lips pressed into a thin line.

"Is Yin Jiang completely ruined now? What a shame. I really thought he’d be our clan’s next leader."

"Shh, don’t say things like that anymore. Lord Zhu Bang is a Level 15 Beastman, and now he has a cub with excellent talent who went through Transformation at only eight months old. They say this little cub’s talent is even greater than Yin Jiang’s. That one is the most likely to be our next leader. Our entire clan is counting on Lord Zhu Bang..."

"Do you think the Winged Dragon Clan is looking down on us too much? Even with Lord Zhu Bang here, they still kidnapped Yin Jiang and did... that to him. This is a slap in the face to our Eagle Clan..."

"I said you were a fool, and you really are! One mountain cannot hold two tigers. If you have to blame someone, blame Yin Jiang for not being Lord Zhu Bang’s biological son, yet possessing superior talent. If nothing had happened to him, he would have quickly become the second Level 15 Beastman!"

Yin Jiang’s expression was indifferent. All his emotions had long been exhausted, unable to muster even a sliver of resentment. He just sighed silently. ’I’ve already decided to die, but there are still people and things I can’t let go of.’

He closed his eyes with a hint of resignation and drifted off to sleep.

"A shuo... A shuo, wake up..."

’Was that Xu Chi calling me?’

Si Shuo was groggy with sleep and was about to respond reluctantly when someone sealed her lips with their own.

In her haze, she met a pair of eyes as dark as black pearls. The owner of those eyes had cold, resolute features, and he carried the faint scent of fresh grass.

Si Shuo blinked, her lips moving slightly. ’Am I dreaming?’

’How else could I explain going to sleep in Gong You’s arms, only to wake up kissing a strange male!’

’I already have four Beast Husbands. Could it be that because I’m pregnant, some subconscious need is being suppressed? And I have been feeling more and more like I don’t have enough Beast Husbands at home lately... so a handsome, tough guy just appeared in my dream?’

’Is this what they call "what you think about by day, you dream of by night"?’

Si Shuo’s face flushed. She couldn’t help but turn her head and reach out to push him. "You, you are..."

The moment she spoke, he leaned in and sealed her lips with his once more!

’This is going too far! This is definitely not what I wanted.’

"A shuo... Where are you? A shuo, answer me!" Xu Chi’s anxious voice came from not far away.

Si Shuo grew anxious too. ’This must be my two consciousnesses fighting each other.’

She turned her head again and opened her mouth to answer, only to be silenced once more. As if sensing her intention, he bit her lightly in displeasure.

"Mmph, you bastard, let me go... Xu—" Ashamed and angry, she couldn’t stop herself from trying to speak, wanting to call out for Xu Chi and resist her own wicked thoughts.

But the male grew annoyed as well, swallowing her words and biting her punishingly. His domineering aura enveloped her, seeming to seep in from everywhere.

Si Shuo’s eyelids felt heavy, and she didn’t even have the strength to struggle. Listening to Xu Chi’s voice fade into the distance, she finally let out a sob. "I’m not this kind of person..."

"Little female, don’t cry. I-I didn’t do it on purpose," the male hastily let her go and sat up. "You’re in a dream right now..."

"Of course I know I’m in a dream," Si Shuo said, angrily wiping her tears away. "So where did you come from? I have four Beast Husbands. Even if, even if my heart is... thinking about that, I should be dreaming about being intimate with them, not you."

The male was slightly taken aback. He lowered his gaze and said faintly, "On the Central Continent, there is a Female Saint who can construct dreamscapes, making it impossible for people to distinguish between reality and dreams.

"She will imitate the voices of those close to you and call your name. The moment you let your guard down and answer, you will fall completely under her control.

"Many females have been manipulated by her in their dreams into breaking their contracts with their own males.

"When they wake up, they are faced with males whose Combat Power and lifespan have been halved. Some can’t accept the reality and go mad, while others are abducted by other males..."

Si Shuo was startled awake. Feeling Gong You’s familiar, cool embrace, her body was still trembling with lingering fear.

"My sweet treasure, what’s wrong? Did you have a nightmare?" Gong You kissed her forehead.

Si Shuo pressed her lips together, not daring to lift her head, afraid she was still in the dream.

She just lay quietly in his arms without moving, her breathing even as if she were fast asleep, but there was no trace of sleepiness left in her eyes.

Si Shuo only managed to drift off into a hazy sleep as the sky began to brighten at dawn.

When she woke up, it was already noon. Xu Chi had left with the spring hunt team, and Gong You and Zhi Le had also gone to participate in the collective training.

"Little Shushu, you really can sleep," Ji Liang said with a light laugh as he saw her wriggling in the nest. He swept both the Beast Skins and the little female into his arms before pulling Si Shuo out.

Seeing her eyes still squinted in a sleepy daze, his heart melted. He couldn’t help but cover her with soft kisses while feeding her a Crystal Stone.

After receiving the energy, Si Shuo finally woke up fully. Looking at Ji Liang’s doting, smiling face, her lips trembled and she burst into tears.

Ji Liang’s expression changed instantly. He couldn’t help but ask, "Little Shushu, why are you crying? Are you feeling unwell somewhere?"

Si Shuo hugged him. "Ji Liang, I had a nightmare. I dreamed that Xu Chi was calling me, but a strange male covered my mouth and wouldn’t let me make a sound..."

A chill ran through Ji Liang. He held her tightly, desperately suppressing his fury, his voice growing even gentler. "Little Shushu, and then what happened?"
