Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 117 - 116: Sky Burial

Just imagine: holding their little female in their arms as they drifted off to sleep, if she called out to them in a daze, who wouldn’t have answered?!

Gong You couldn’t help but pull her into his embrace, his heart filled with guilt and helplessness. ’It was her first true dream, and yet she was in my arms... How terrified must she have been to mistake it for another illusion and stay awake until dawn?’

"Don’t be afraid, sweetheart. It’s all over now. We found that Female Saint and disabled her superpower. She won’t be able to cause any more trouble."

There was no telling how many evil deeds Wang Cha had committed using her Dream Control Ability. Although she didn’t kill people directly, many had indirectly lost their lives because of her superpower.

For her, death would have been too light a punishment.

She used to be able to create dreams and toy with people’s lives as she pleased, thinking herself high and mighty, looking down on everyone. Now that the superpower she relied on had been stripped away, it was a fate more unbearable to her than death by a thousand cuts.

Ji Liang handed over three Beast Skins. "Here, Little Shushu. There’s this, too: two shops in Guangshou City and a hundred acres of land.

"Ssss... Whoever ponied up this much can’t be from any ordinary tribe or family.

We’ve never made enemies with anyone, and the only ones whose interests we’ve encroached upon are the Qingxi Tribe.

So, this must be their compensation.

When we captured Wang Cha, we specifically called over a few witnesses. As long as the Qingxi Tribe wants to save face, they have to swallow this loss in silence."

"But this means we’ve thoroughly made an enemy of the Qingxi Tribe," Zhi Le said coolly. "It was bound to happen sooner or later. If we want to get stronger and establish ourselves in Guangshou City, we can’t just keep hiding our strength."

Xu Chi clenched his fist. "Now that this is over, I’m going to participate in the next spring hunt. If you want to get ahead in Guangshou City, strength comes first. You either rely on your family or climb the ranks of the city’s Beast Soldiers!"

Beast Soldiers weren’t on duty every day. They worked one day and rested the next, a schedule that ensured they were full of energy and could also take care of their homes and females.

It prevented them from being out earning Crystal Stones every day, which could cause their relationships with the females at home to fade and lead to conflict.

Ji Liang’s lips curled. "Ssss... well then, brothers, while you all strive in the soldier ranks, I’ll pave the way with Crystal Stones!"

Si Shuo looked from one to the other, the negative feelings in her heart slowly dissipating. She smiled lightly and said, "Once we get to Guangshou City, let’s check out the situation with the three shops, including the one Shi Fu gave us.

If possible, we’ll open a clinic to diagnose and prescribe medicine for Beastmen."

You could never have too many clinics, let alone pharmacies!

"As long as you don’t tire yourself out, Little Shushu," Ji Liang said with a smile, ruffling her hair. "You just say the word, and we’ll do all the work."

Noticing the lingering worry on her brow, Ji Liang raised an eyebrow. "Little Shushu, are you still thinking about who the male in your dream was?"

Si Shuo pursed her lips, finding it hard to bring up. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝓮𝒘𝙚𝙗𝒏𝙤𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝒐𝙢

Gong You said in a low voice, "Sweetheart, you could try to remember the details of the dream. It would help us find him.

There are two possibilities for why he wouldn’t tell you his name or identity. First, he might already have a female of his own, so he can’t become your mate in reality and wouldn’t get past us, which is why he was too ashamed to mention it.

Second, perhaps something happened to him, and he doesn’t want to be a burden to you."

The male in the dream had such a strong presence, and they owed him for saving their lives. Si Shuo couldn’t suppress her curiosity no matter how she tried.

Zhi Le added, "If it’s the former, we’ll just act like nothing happened. We’ll consider it a favor we owe him and pay him back someday.

If it’s the latter, we’ll see if we can help solve his problem. Actually, the best solution would be for him to become one of our family.

This time, in order to force out Wang Cha, news of the Dream Control Ability spread all over Dongye Middle Square. I’m worried that in the future, other Female Saints might wish for this kind of superpower.

We managed to get through this crisis, but there’s no guarantee we won’t face another one!"

Si Shuo felt the male was more likely the latter case. His final kiss had an air of finality, of a last farewell, that still left her feeling unsettled.

She couldn’t help but narrow her eyes, feeling that something must have happened that allowed him to recognize her and deliberately enter her dream to help.

There were so many males in Dongye Middle Square; she had no idea where to start. She could only do as Gong You suggested and try to recall the details of the dream.

’I have four Beast Husbands, after all, and I’ve seen plenty of others form unions. Even if a male has feelings for a female, he wouldn’t do something so intimate right away.’

’He could have just used his hand to stop me from making a sound...’

Si Shuo’s eyes flew open. That was it! No wonder it had felt so strange when she was grabbing at his clothes.

He didn’t have any arms! Then wouldn’t that mean...

"It might be Yin Jiang," Si Shuo said, her face paling slightly. "Yin Jiang might not want to live anymore! We have to find him!"

The expressions on the males’ faces changed instantly. Zhi Le transformed into a Snow Leopard and, with Si Shuo on his back, the group raced toward the Eagle Clan’s territory.

Yin Jiang opened his eyes, a lingering tenderness still visible within them. A faint smile touched his lips.

’How wonderful,’ he thought. ’After everything I’ve suffered, I still got to have two beautiful dreams and hold such a beautiful, soft, and kind female in my arms.’

’We’re even now, aren’t we?’

Yin Jiang stood up and walked over to a clansman he had always been on good terms with. He smiled faintly. "Ren Qiu, will you take me to see the great plains?"

As he approached, the clansmen gathered there seemed to sense something. A tide of grief swelled in their hearts, crashing against them with a painful ache.

But they all knew that Yin Jiang had his pride. For those of the eagle and falcon kind, their final destination could only be the blue sky.

Ren Qiu fought back his tears and forced a relaxed tone. "Yin Jiang, which mountain peak do you want to see it from?"

Yin Jiang smiled. "The highest one. I’ll have to trouble you to take me, Ren Qiu."

Several Eagle Clan Beastmen stood up, their eyes red. "We’ll see you off together!"

Yin Jiang nodded. "Okay."

Ren Qiu transformed into a red-tailed hawk and turned his head to look at Yin Jiang. "I fly high and steady now. Hold on tight, Yin Jiang!"

Yin Jiang could no longer fly, and he didn’t even have arms.

Yin Jiang sat ramrod straight on Ren Qiu’s back. With a clear cry tinged with sorrow, they soared into the blue sky, followed by more than a dozen other Beastmen of various eagle and falcon species.

Any Beastman with some knowledge of them couldn’t help but look up, murmuring, "That’s the Eagle Clan’s unique sky burial..."

When Si Shuo and the others arrived, they happened to see this very scene.

"Sky burial?" Si Shuo tilted her head to look at Ji Liang.

Ji Liang sighed. "Ssss... The Eagle Clan can foresee their own deaths. When they feel they don’t have long to live, they don’t try to cling to life ignobly. Instead, at the end of their lives, they spread their wings and return to the sky.

That is where their dreams, honor, and pride lie! However, when a highly respected member of the Eagle Clan goes to their death, other clan members will spontaneously see them off, flying in various formations to express their Blessings and remembrance. This is the ritual everyone knows as the sky burial!"

A sharp pain seized Si Shuo’s heart. She whipped her head around to look at Xu Chi.

"A shuo, I’ll take you to save him!" Xu Chi said immediately.

Si Shuo nodded. "First, let’s go catch up to them. We’ll position ourselves below and make it look like we’re there to catch Yin Jiang."
