Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 114 - 113: Dream Control

Sobbing, Si Shuo repeated what the male had said.

"Ji Liang, are there really Female Saints who can weave dreams?

Doesn’t the Beast God give Female Saints superpowers so they can live better lives and bear more talented cubs?

How could they use their superpowers to harm other females and males?"

A wave of fear washed over her whenever she thought about how she had almost been tricked into answering. ’If my four Beast Husbands dissolved their Contract with me, I’d cry myself to death!’

Ji Liang gently patted her back. "There are. I’ve traveled here with Xu Lie before and heard about a Female Saint on the grasslands whose superpower could control people’s dreams.

She would take on any job for Crystal Stones. Sometimes, she would cause trouble just because she didn’t want other Female Saints to have a good life.

But she was being hunted back then and had long since vanished. I never thought she’d make a comeback and target you, Little Shushu!"

"Ji Liang, what do we do? If it weren’t for the male who suddenly appeared, I really would have answered," Si Shuo asked anxiously.

Ji Liang’s expression turned cold and stern. "She’s very good at exploiting people’s emotional weaknesses. She knew you were carrying Xu Chi’s cub and assumed your feelings for him were deep, which is why she imitated his voice to call out to you in the dream.

However," he added, slightly surprised, "it’s shocking that a male who could see through an Illusion Realm appeared in your dream!"

Si Shuo lowered her eyes, a hint of guilt on her face. She had just told a lie. The male hadn’t actually covered her mouth with his hand.

"I don’t know what happened, either. Actually, this isn’t the first time I’ve had a dream like this. Once or twice before, I also heard someone calling me, but before I could answer, someone else told me not to.

It’s just that last night’s dream was so long and realistic."

Ji Liang felt a surge of both relief and lingering fear. "Thank goodness for that male who protected you. Otherwise, you might have fallen for her trick long ago.

Ordinarily, Little Shushu just stayed at home. She had only gone out two or three times to see the festivities and had never done anything out of the ordinary. ’I’m afraid she’s targeting me and Xu Chi!’

Over the past few days, he and Xu Chi had challenged every one of the hundred-plus Beastmen competing in the Qingxi Tribe’s arenas. Even though they had limited the number of matches they won, even throwing some fights to make their losses look natural and pathetic, they still became some of the more popular contestants. Not to mention, both he and Xu Chi had won a courtyard home and two acres of land for their family.

They were all skilled fighters, with a seventy to eighty percent chance of winning even against a Level 12 Beastman, yet this dream-controlling Female Saint left them utterly helpless.

"Little Shushu, the Dream Control Technique requires constructing a dreamscape and controlling a person’s mind. It consumes a great deal of Spiritual Power and spiritual power.

She was likely just probing you the first few times. Last night was her first real attempt at using her superpower.

Since she failed, she probably won’t use the Dream Control Technique again for a day or two."

’But we’re out in the open, while she’s in the shadows. As long as we can’t find that Female Saint, it’s impossible to guard against her! If she succeeds, the consequences will be unimaginable.’

The thought that their Levels and lifespans might be halved didn’t bother them; what they feared was being unable to protect their little female.

"Everyone is extremely wary of this kind of female. If we discreetly spread the news, every female—especially the Female Saints—will be watched like a hawk. They won’t dare to leave Dongye Middle Square so easily.

We need to investigate the females as quickly as possible over the next few days. Even if we don’t find her, we have to scare her away."

Si Shuo remained listless in his arms.

Ji Liang sighed softly and stroked her head. "Don’t worry, Little Shushu. Now that we know you’re being targeted by that Female Saint, we’ll stay vigilant when we’re with you at night. We’ll wake you the moment we notice anything unusual.

However, if that male appears again, remember to ask him who he is.

With him there, that Female Saint’s superpower might be rendered useless. After all, we don’t know how long it will take to find her."

What he didn’t say was that once a dreamscape was constructed, she couldn’t be easily woken up. Doing so could cause mental chaos and induce a state of terror, with unimaginable consequences.

They would rather be the ones to get hurt!

So he had only said that to comfort her and keep her from worrying too much.

Si Shuo nodded. It was the first time she had ever seen a look of helplessness on the face of the otherwise omnipotent Ji Liang.

’This must be what it’s like when brawn meets Magic,’ she thought. Their infallible ability to protect her was useless here.

After coaxing Si Shuo into eating a little, Ji Liang wrote a message about the incident and posted it in their shared space for the other three Twin Brothers to see.

Xu Chi replied instantly that he was heading back immediately. The Beast Soldier recruitment happened every year, and there were always several rounds, so he would have plenty of other chances. But now that their female was being targeted, they had to take it seriously. They absolutely would not be foolish enough to get their priorities wrong.

Gong You and Zhi Le returned from training just then, and the family of five sat down together.

Si Shuo recounted the events of the dream in detail once more, though she still concealed just how intimate she and the mysterious male had been.

The Beast God had always shown favor to the Female Saints. The superpowers he granted them were varied; many were abilities the Female Saints themselves had conceived of and actively requested.

Other than Ji Liang, who had overheard something about it while traveling with a merchant caravan, the other three males had no idea a Female Saint could possess a superpower that left other Beastmen completely defenseless. It completely bypassed Combat Power!

With a female like that around, even the High-level males of the Central Continent wouldn’t dare to casually offer their Beast Mark.

All they could do now was to stir things up to flush out their target, investigating the females one by one.

"Besides our Little Shushu, other Female Saints generally only have one superpower, so we can rule them out one by one... We also need to watch the females who aren’t known to be Female Saints. See which of them have Beast Husbands with high Combat Power..."

This method was incredibly time-consuming and draining, but it was their only option.

Si Shuo couldn’t resist pulling up her system, only to discover that when they had saved numerous females from the Winged Dragon Clan’s cruelty the night before last, it had been part of a dungeon quest.

The reward was now sitting quietly in her system’s temporary inventory!

Last time, during the Puchang City Beast Tide Dungeon, she had obtained many powerful talismans. She tried to copy them all with her Replication Ability and found she could, but each could only be replicated once per day.

She was beginning to understand: the more ridiculously powerful an item was, the more of her Replication Ability it consumed.

Si Shuo wasn’t greedy, but she made sure to exhaust her Replication Ability every single day. She had even created a schedule to replicate each item in turn, afraid that if she needed one, she wouldn’t have enough and would be left without even a master copy to replicate from.

She opened the reward inventory with some impatience and discovered six sets of Array Flags. Each set contained nine flags, and all had different functions. They weren’t flashy or attention-grabbing, but they were incredibly practical. Some could be arranged to absorb the abundant Spiritual Energy from the air, others could form a defensive shield that blocked all sight and sound, while others could be used to create offensive killing arrays or Illusion Arrays.

Unfortunately, these Array Flags could only block physical attacks. They were completely useless against the Dream Control Technique!
