Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 209 - 208: Got It, Pretending to Be a Pig to Eat a Tiger

Chapter 209: Chapter 208: Got It, Pretending to Be a Pig to Eat a Tiger

Si Shuo pursed her lips, thinking that next time, she had to ask the system for a Speed Talisman. An increase in speed was equivalent to time saved, which was like getting a relative extension on her life.

Wasn’t there a saying that in all of martial arts, speed is the only thing that’s unbreakable? The importance of speed was clear.

"Brother Jiang, these next ten days are going to be tough on you. When we eat, we’ll make an extra portion for you and put it in your storage space.

We need to eat our fill and eat well to make sure we’re in the best possible shape to prepare for the big competition!"

Yin Jiang grunted in agreement, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Shuo’er, if anything happens, you have to write to me right away, or press your Beast Mark to summon me.

No matter how far away I am or what I’m doing, I’ll teleport to you immediately."

Si Shuo nodded eagerly, hugging his waist and smiling softly. "Mm-hm, I’ll remember." ’It’s just as romantic and reassuring as in my world,’ she thought, ’where a man promises a woman he’ll be on call 24/7, ready to come at a moment’s notice.’

Gong You clenched his fists and said with a smile, "It’s not easy to get promoted from Little Captain to Captain. You have to be exceptional, have everyone’s approval, and also have the right opportunity.

If we can, we should all take this chance and make a push for it. If we miss this opportunity, we’ll have to wait until next year."

Zhi Le nodded, his gray-blue eyes filled with determination and a readiness to prove himself. "I feel like I can break through to Level 10 in the next day or two. When that happens, I’ll have two clones.

In other words, my Combat Power output alone will be more than three people’s. Add in all the hard training I’ve been doing, plus the guidance and sparring with you guys, and I’ll be able to take on a peak Level 12 Beast Soldier!"

He had the lowest Combat Power Level in the family, so he always felt a sense of urgency to increase his strength.

Ji Liang let out a soft hiss. ’If I don’t work harder, I’ll soon be the one with the lowest Combat Power in the family!’ "You guys focus on your push," he said. "I’ll hold down the fort at home."

Xu Chi said with a smile, "I’ll wait for next year. Our family can’t afford to be too conspicuous. But I’ll still keep pace with you guys and work hard to improve my strength."

The captain’s position was the busiest in the Beast Soldier Camp, and since he and his mate had just had a child, he was putting his family first for now.

Xiao Cheng looked from one to the other, his tail practically wagging with excitement. ’If my brothers are busy, that means I’ll have more time with my big sister!’ "I think I’ll wait a couple more years," he said. "Anyway, I won’t slack off on my training or let a gap form between my strength and my brothers’. It’s better to give outsiders the impression that I’m just some unmotivated, mediocre talent propped up by family resources. That’ll make them overlook how powerful I really am."

Si Shuo grinned and gave him a thumbs-up. "I get it. Playing the fool to trick your opponents. Once you actually take the attributeless crystal stone and your Combat Power jumps up another stage, the effect will be even more dramatic and fun."

The men all shook their heads with resigned smiles. Their little female really loved to stir the pot!

Having made a lateral transfer here, they were facing a lot of problems. They needed to stay composed and take things one step at a time.

Wei Ce suggested, "Our Iron-eating Beast Clan may not have opened a Martial Arts Hall, but we do have training grounds. We also have two Trial Secret Realms for improving a Beastman’s combat techniques and enhancing their overall abilities.

Any Beastman at Level 10 or above can go in and try it. It can be opened five times a month, and ten people can enter each time."

Si Shuo couldn’t help but ask in astonishment, "Brother Ce, you... You really don’t see us as outsiders at all, do you? You already let us use the walls around your ancestral home to build a school, a Martial Arts Hall, workshops, and shops.

And now you’re planning to let our family’s brothers enter such an important clan Secret Realm? Will the elders even agree?"

’Since Wei Ce said as much, he must be planning to take his Couple Brothers from the family into the Secret Realm to improve their skills and abilities.’

Wei Ce said with a smile, "The clan rules state that as long as they are Couple Brothers recognized by a clan member, they have this opportunity."

It was precisely because of this rule that many Beastmen were willing to become Couple Brothers with an Iron-eating Beastman, and it also ensured the Iron-eating Beastman a well-protected position within their family.

"So, Brother Ce, who in our family have you recognized?" Si Shuo asked, her curiosity piqued.

Zhi Le, who was sitting nearby, couldn’t listen anymore. ’Their kitty is a bit too bold,’ he thought. ’It’s already amazing that Wei Ce is offering a few spots. This is something they could have discussed privately, but she just had to say it out loud in front of everyone.’

’Does she think the family atmosphere is too harmonious? Is she trying to add some fuel to the fire and liven things up?’

"Everyone can go," Wei Ce said. "But it’s best if we take turns. One of the men needs to stay behind to protect our female and the children.

Also, it would be best to enter the Secret Realm to solidify our strength after we’ve taken the attributeless crystal stones."

Wei Ce’s words stunned the entire family. This brother had only just joined their little family, and he was already holding nothing back. His generosity seemed almost foolish, but it also made them all feel incredibly lucky.

Si Shuo didn’t try to push her luck. It wasn’t until evening that she called Ji Liang and Wei Ce to head to the outskirts of the city.

This time, they chose a direction completely opposite to their last trip. Ever since arriving in Guangshou City, Ji Liang had been expanding his map of scouted locations in his free time. As he became more proficient with his Skill, the distance he could teleport and the time he needed to rest in between had both improved greatly.

Today, Si Shuo had used all three uses of her Replication Ability on Sixteen-level attributeless crystal stones. She placed three stones in each of her Beast Husbands’ storage spaces.

After completing her task, Si Shuo gave a soft cough and looked at Ji Liang. "Ji Liang, it’s still early. Brother Ce and I are going to look around for a bit before we head home."

A few phrases Ji Liang had learned the other day came to mind: ’To kill the donkey once the grinding is done,’ and ’to tear down the bridge after crossing the river!’

He crossed his arms and took a few steps to the side. "It’s fine. You two go ahead and ’look around’ in this desolate wilderness. It shouldn’t take too long, right? I’ll just be here waiting, being an eyesore. I may not have many other fine qualities, but I’ve got patience in spades."

Si Shuo suppressed a smile, pulled him further aside, and stood on her tiptoes to whisper, "So, has Ji Liang figured out where he’s taking me to have fun tomorrow afternoon?"

Ji Liang’s golden pupils constricted. He wrapped an arm around her slim waist and leaned in close to her ear as well. "Little Shushu, tomorrow I’m going to get ready. I want to go with Kouba and join a scattered group of traders from the North City District to check out a nearby Beast City.

Come find me the night after tomorrow?"

Si Shuo had always known that Ji Liang wasn’t the kind of Beastman who could stay in one place. Adventure and exploration were in his very bones. It was just that recently, she had grown used to the sense of security that came with having him by her side.

She lingered in his embrace, her mood a little down as she answered, "Okay." ’He’s already put his plans off for far too long to accommodate our little family,’ she thought.

Ji Liang had only been teasing her, but seeing his little female unhappy made his own heart ache. "Little Shushu, it’s actually a good thing. The situation in the Central Continent is complicated, and you can’t trust a lot of the rumors. By traveling around, I can help our little family steer clear of danger in time.

Besides, wherever I go, you can come and find me for fun anytime I stop to rest.

The Central Continent is huge, and every Beast City is packed with Beastmen, each with its own beautiful scenery and delicious food..."

Si Shuo clutched his clothes, puffing out her cheeks. This Snake Beast really knew how to play her heartstrings!
