Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 212 - 211: A Completely Different Person

Wei Ce considerately gave the two some space and continued digging out the cave. ’Judging by how much she loves this place, we’ll probably be coming here often,’ he thought.

"This is a Sharp Spike Wood Spirit. When it encounters an enemy, it can shoot needles from its branches that are coated with a potent tranquilizer. A single Wood Spirit can be used ten times."

"And this is a Red Mushroom Spirit. Its toxin is extremely potent. It can release a cloud of toxins, and any Beastman who inhales it will die within seven steps!"

The Spirit Plants she had chosen back in Nanye City were pretty and interesting, but their combat abilities were mediocre. They were little more than toys for a female; the males wouldn’t have given them a second glance.

Now that her Fertilization Ability had upgraded, she could enhance the various traits of the Wood Spirits, but the cost to her spiritual power was also much greater. The difference was like night and day compared to before.

Si Shuo created two Sharp Spike Wood Spirits and one Red Mushroom Spirit, and she was already feeling the strain. After all, she had just replicated three batches of Crystal Stones.

But she still felt it wasn’t enough. "Ji Liang, the next time I come to see you, I’ll bring you more Wood Spirits!"

Ji Liang solemnly took them and placed them in his Beast Skin Bag. He then took her hand, and they walked slowly along the stream in the valley.

"Little Shushu, this is enough. You don’t need to worry about me." Ji Liang said with a light chuckle, "This isn’t my first day as a trader. I know the rules of the business, and I won’t go around provoking people."

"Besides, my cultivation level may not be high, but I’m definitely not a pushover that anyone can just step on. One or two Wood Spirits for emergencies are fine. Any more than that, and I’ll just become lazy and dependent, which will make it harder for me to grow stronger through adversity."

Si Shuo nodded. "Mhm, I know. But just because I understand doesn’t mean I won’t worry."

"Ji Liang, you’re not alone anymore. When you encounter danger, you have to remember that as long as there’s life, there’s hope. Teleport to my side immediately."

"You still have me, and all the rest of our family."

Ji Liang smiled and nodded. With a glint in his eye, he transformed directly into his Beast Form and carried her up a cliff face, spiraling around a centuries-old tree.

There was a platform there, which offered a perfect view of most of the valley below.

Ji Liang tossed a Beast Skin onto the ground and pressed her down onto it, holding her in his arms. The little female in his embrace was obedient and unbelievably sweet, but just as he was about to take things further, Si Shuo pushed him away?!

"Little Shushu, you told me to come find you at noon," he asked, his voice husky with confusion.

Si Shuo puffed out her cheeks. "I never said we were going to, you know, roll around on a Beast Skin in broad daylight! And look at you, you’re about to leave to be a trader, so why haven’t you used the attributeless crystal stone I gave you?"

"Do I have to feed it to you?" The space they shared was used to store their most valuable possessions. She could sense that he hadn’t used the attributeless crystal stone yet.

Ji Liang just smiled, taking a deep breath to suppress his urge. Without a word, he took out an attributeless crystal stone, placed it in his mouth, and began to slowly absorb it.

He was currently a Level 10 Beastman, and the energy within a Level 16 Crystal Stone was tyrannical and dense. The moment it entered his mouth, the Spiritual Energy surged through him like a flood bursting from a dam, rampaging through his body with world-destroying force.

Ji Liang let out a muffled grunt, struggling to control the Spiritual Energy...

Si Shuo waited quietly by his side. She took out the Metal Strips Xiao Cheng had created and began writing on them with a soft-tipped brush.

About half an hour later, Ji Liang’s eyes snapped open. His aura surged, and he had clearly broken through, advancing to the Eleventh Level!

However, he had learned the Secret Technique taught by Xu Chi and still made his Beast Pattern appear as Level 10. "Now Little Shushu can rest easy, right?"

Si Shuo smiled and nodded. "Ji Liang, my replication Skill has upgraded. I can replicate eight Level 16 attributeless crystal stones at once now. So, we should never shy away from improving our Combat Power when we need to, but we also shouldn’t be reluctant to use up Crystal Stones when the time comes."

Ji Liang’s eyes softened as he agreed, "Okay, I’ll listen to whatever Little Shushu says."

It was getting late, so Si Shuo teleported straight home with her two Beast Husbands. Of course, she didn’t forget to have them collect the shrimp traps, and she also had Ji Liang mark a few more spots.

Seeing the three of them appear out of thin air in the courtyard, Zhi Le and the others let out a long sigh of relief.

"What’s wrong?" Si Shuo asked, pressing her lips together as she sensed their tension.

"Si Shuo, since last night, all twenty-four gates of Guangshou City have been under lockdown. They’re saying a highly aggressive Male Slave escaped. The Golden Python Ni Family claims to be worried about him harming innocents, so they’ve teamed up with all the Beast Soldier Camps to guard the gates strictly. Beast Soldiers will also be going door-to-door for searches and questioning," Xiao Cheng said grimly.

Gong You scoffed. "You believe that? The Golden Python Ni Family has always been cold-blooded. As long as their own clan members aren’t harmed, they couldn’t care less about anyone else’s life or death."

"I suspect they’re using the Beast Soldier Camp to achieve some ulterior motive!"

Si Shuo’s own heart clenched with worry. "Regardless of whether it’s true or not, we need to be careful."

"But, Ji Liang, with the city gates on lockdown, will it affect your trading trip out of the city?"

Ji Liang shook his head, a corner of his lip curling up. "It should be fine. My captain is very well-connected. They can’t just make all the Beastmen in the entire Beast City sit around and do nothing just because of the Golden Python Ni Family’s business."

He pulled Si Shuo into a tight hug. "Little Shushu, I have to go now. Remember to think of me often, and write to me!"

Si Shuo murmured in agreement. "Okay, Ji Liang, you have to be safe. If there’s anything you want to eat, you can tell me in your letters... And don’t be too hard on yourself out there..."

Listening to her earnest and reluctant words, her eyes red-rimmed, Ji Liang’s heart burned. He no longer cared that his Couple Brothers were present and gave her a deep kiss. Pressing his forehead against hers, he said, "Okay, I’ve remembered everything Little Shushu said. I’ll be thinking about you constantly. Every time I get settled in a new Beast City, I’ll let you know."

After seeing Ji Liang off, Si Shuo’s spirits were a little low. Since she’d arrived on the Beast World Continent, Zhi Le was the first person she had met, but Ji Liang was the one who had spent the most time with her.

Gong You smiled and held his fist out in front of her. He turned it over and opened his hand, revealing a handful of the delicious small fish she craved most!

Si Shuo’s eyes sparkled, the delicious aroma filling her senses. She immediately picked up one of the small fish and popped it into her mouth, her eyes curving into happy crescents. She was like a completely different person from a moment ago...

’The corners of the males’ mouths twitched, and they shook their heads in amusement. She really is a little cub who’ll never grow up.’

Under Si Shuo’s supervision, all the males in the household consumed an attributeless crystal stone.

The Level 16 attributeless crystal stones replicated by Si Shuo contained pure, vibrant energy with almost no impurities. For low level Beastmen, the boost it provided to their Cultivation was no less than that of an Upgrade Pill!

Zhi Le advanced to Level 10 and gained a second self, Zhi Zhan.

Xu Chi had been suppressing his cultivation all along. After consuming a single Level 16 Crystal Stone, he leaped from the Peak of Level 10, skipped right over the Eleventh Level, and went straight to Level 12!

Gong You, on the other hand, suppressed his cultivation at the Peak of the Eleventh Level. Xiao Cheng rose half a level to reach Peak level 12.

As for Yin Jiang, he had been stuck at Level 13 for over a year. After experiencing a rebirth and training nonstop for the past two months, the attributeless crystal stone pushed him to Level 14.

Wei Ce first took a Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill and then consumed the attributeless crystal stone. He went from the Early Stage of Level 14 to the Peak, and was showing faint signs of another breakthrough!
