Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 127 - 126: I Saved Them

Xiao Cheng, in the form of a Winged Dragon Beastman, took advantage of the other Winged Dragon Beastmen being exhausted from the hyena pack’s pursuit. He would gain their trust, then turn and throw them into the midst of the hyenas. Only after watching them die with no hope of survival would he move on to the next.

Chu Ming was a notorious scoundrel from Guangshou City. He bullied men, preyed on women, and stopped at no evil. He was never short of like-minded clansmen who were just as rotten.

Countless females and males had suffered humiliation at their hands. Yin Jiang was not the first, and he would not be the last.

At the mere mention of the Winged Dragon Clan, even members of prominent families would show disgust, yet none dared to interfere in their affairs. Getting entangled with this group of Beastmen meant endless trouble.

The members of the Winged Dragon Clan were notoriously narrow-minded. As long as the clan stood and Chu Ming lived, Xiao Cheng could never openly be with his beloved little female.

This trip into Dongye Forest, Xiao Cheng planned to temper himself and solidify his Combat Power Level, raise enough Crystal Stones for Yin Jiang, and eliminate Chu Ming!

He had painstakingly lured a large pack of hyenas from the grasslands to the forest’s edge. Then, he’d gathered a specific plant and, after hunting down a Long Tusked Elephant Beast, mixed it into the creature’s blood. This created the potent stench of rotting flesh needed to attract the hyenas.

Then, taking advantage of the fact that the Winged Dragon Beastmen underestimated him and allowed him to move about freely right under their noses, he managed to get the scent onto their bodies...

Only then was he able to use the pack of hyenas to pick them off one by one.

Watching Chu Ming get swarmed by the pack of hyenas, all his skills rendered useless, Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "Chu Ming, the game of cat and mouse is over."

"Between the two of us, it was either I die in humiliation or you die. This was a foregone conclusion. Fortunately, I’m the one who won!"

Chu Ming had never imagined that he, who had always feared nothing, would be so humiliatingly torn apart and eaten by hyenas. The pain made his words incoherent. "Save me... I... I won’t hold this against you anymore..."

Xiao Cheng remained unmoved, coolly watching until Chu Ming breathed his last.

’In the Central Continent, the rules of survival are even crueler. If I had shown even a sliver of mercy today, then tomorrow would have been the day I die.’

Of course, Xiao Cheng didn’t forget to hook their Beast Skin Bags over to him. After taking the valuables from inside, he wiped away his scent and threw the bags back.

Riding the Golden Leopard he controlled with a talisman, Xiao Cheng shook off the pack of hyenas and found a river to wash himself. Clean and refreshed, he transformed into his beast form and rushed toward Dongye Middle Square.

The Dongzhou Merchant Team, led by Xu Lie, was set to depart today. They would follow a predetermined route to various tribes and Beast Cities, arriving in Guangshou City in two to three months.

Ji Liang and Zhe Heng, each with their own little female and Couple Brothers, saw them off at the entrance to the Middle Square.

In a little over twenty days, Si Shuo and the others would follow the first spring hunting party of the season, taking a direct route to Guangshou City.

"Master Xu, we’ll meet again in Guangshou City," Ji Liang said with a smile, patting Xu Lie’s shoulder.

Xu Lie nodded. "Sounds good. If all goes as planned, we’ll spend the rainy season and the winter in Guangshou City, then head back to the Southern Continent during next year’s winter thaw."

"It’s not easy to get settled in Guangshou City, but since it’s you, Ji Liang, I don’t need to say a word of warning."

"Most of the Beastmen I’ve befriended in the Central Continent care more about Crystal Stones than relationships."

"Once you’re settled in Guangshou City, I’ll finally be able to proudly say that I have brothers there!"

The whole group laughed.

Ji Liang added, "For your sake alone, Master Xu, I’ll have to make a name for myself in Guangshou City. I wouldn’t want you to lose face by mentioning my name only for no one to have heard it."

"Then I’ll look forward to it," Xu Lie said with a smiling nod. "In the Beast Cities, most people earn Crystal Stones for food and clothing by farming, running businesses, or working for others."

"But the Central Continent is definitely more convenient than our Southern Continent. There are specialized merchant teams that run errands between all the large tribes and Beast Cities."

"While I’m leading my team through the tribes and Beast Cities, I’ll keep an eye out for anything good for you all and have a merchant team deliver it."

’He had always known Ji Liang was destined for greater things. He could only offer a helping hand in these early days; in the future, it was hard to say who would be helping whom.’

Ji Liang didn’t stand on ceremony, simply thanking him with a smile.

Xu Lie lowered his voice. "Brother Ji Liang, once we’re gone, you won’t have other Beastmen to watch your back. You must be extra vigilant."

"The Beastmen from Puchang City... even though they came from the Southern Continent with us and survived the Great Beast Tide, I don’t approve of the way many of them conduct themselves."

"Don’t get soft-hearted and think you should help them just because you’re all from the Southern Continent. You might get tangled up in trouble you can’t shake loose and bring disaster down on your own heads!"

Ji Liang’s expression grew serious. "Rest assured, I know what I’m doing. But thank you for the warning."

Xu Lie smiled and shook his head. "Alright then, we’ll see each other in Guangshou City!"

Si Shuo tilted his head slightly and slipped a few elixirs into Ji Liang’s space.

Sensing this, Ji Liang glanced at his little female with a smile before grabbing Xu Lie, who was about to turn away. He then casually put up a Protective Shield.

"Master Xu, a lot has happened in Dongye Middle Square recently. The Qingxi Tribe left early, and the Winged Dragon Clan was reprimanded by the Beast God."

"Who knows how long this superficial peace in the Central Continent will last. You must also be extra careful on your travels."

"Keep these three elixirs safe. One is to be used when your life is hanging by a thread, this one can refine your body and improve your constitution, and this last one has excellent healing effects..."

"As you know, I’ve traveled all over for many years and have managed to collect a few good things. It’s not much, but it represents this little brother’s sincere desire to acknowledge you, Master Xu, as an older brother!"

Ji Liang spoke with exceptional sincerity. The three elixirs were each contained in a thumb-sized Jade Bottle. 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Xu Lie accepted them in astonishment. Just by uncorking one of the wooden stoppers, he was hit by a staggering medicinal fragrance thick with Spiritual Energy!

He hurriedly corked it again and put the bottles away with extreme care. These were truly rare treasures that could save a life and improve one’s cultivation.

"Excellent, excellent! Ji Liang, I, Xu Lie, accept you as my younger brother!" Just from that one whiff, Xu Lie felt that his Combat Power, which had been stagnant for five or six years, was already showing signs of a breakthrough.

he said, his face flush with excitement.

As a trader, he prized profit above all. Because of this, he knew all too well the value of Ji Liang’s three elixirs. He understood that Ji Liang would only part with such treasures because he was truly sincere about befriending him.

They already had a budding friendship and a mutual admiration. Now, by becoming sworn brothers and watching out for each other in the future, the pros would definitely outweigh the cons!

Watching the Dongzhou Merchant Team depart, Si Shuo and the others felt a bit empty. The space around their stall of Beast Skins had cleared out, and before any new Beastmen could fill the gap, the group from Puchang City shuffled over.

Si Shuo and Yimei snacked while they watched the group bustle about.
