Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 243 - 242: Tuanzi and Yuanyuan

Si Shuo turned to Gong You. "Gong You, can you widen the time gap between here and the outside world even more with your Time Law?"

Gong You sighed softly and ruffled her hair. "I can, but we’ll have to carry you around frequently so that the surrounding Spiritual Energy, nutrients, sunlight, and everything else can keep up with the speed of the Time Law I establish.

I’ll increase the Time Law to a tenfold rate. I’ll be home tomorrow anyway, so I’ll just take one more day off. Twenty days should be enough time for you to give birth and recover."

Si Shuo nodded and turned her head to look at Yin Jiang.

He immediately said, "Shuo’er, I’ll take a day off tomorrow and fly to Gubei. It should take about half a day to get there. Then I’ll ask around about the situation and look for Ji Liang and Kouba while I’m at it."

Gong You added, "Ask Yimei if she’s available. If she and her Beast Husband go together, they should be able to sense Kouba’s location in the area very quickly.

It’s a matter of life and death. We’ll owe her a big favor for this."

Zhi Le chimed in, "Wei Ce and I will stay home and take care of the cubs. Let Xu Chi and Xiao Cheng go with him!"

Xu Chi has Invisibility and Xiao Cheng has Transformation. Their superpowers will be very useful when necessary. My Clone Ability is perfect for looking after the kids.

At a time like this, there was no need to worry about what outsiders thought. Finding Ji Liang and making sure he was safe was the top priority.

Si Shuo nodded and said softly, "We all have to be okay." ’She hadn’t even had little snakes with Ji Liang yet. The Big Snake Beast wanted so badly to have cubs with her, yearning for the warmth of a warm-blooded creature.’

’He couldn’t choose his Beast Form, but he was always trying so hard not to be influenced and controlled by the cool blood in his veins.’

’A Big Snake Beast who tried so hard deserved to be treated kindly by fate!’

Ji Liang’s Beast Mark had vanished, casting a heavy pall over the family. Gong You immediately activated the tenfold Time Law, and Zhi Le transformed into a Snow Leopard, carrying Si Shuo on his back as they walked through the valley.

"Kitty, I can’t believe we’ve been together for over half a year now," Zhi Le said, his voice full of emotion. "I still remember when I first met you. You were so small and skinny, and so timid. It seemed like you’d burst into tears if I so much as glanced at you, yet you always clung to the corner of my clothes, terrified I’d leave you behind... Ji Liang told me you were terrified of him when you met. That makes sense. Most females are at least a little afraid of Snake Beasts."

At the mention of this, Si Shuo couldn’t help but smile, pressing her lips together. "Yes, I never thought I would end up mated with him. At the time, I felt he was so aloof and nonchalant. I couldn’t imagine how the two of us could ever be connected."

’Who would have thought that someone so proud and aloof would fall for her at first sight? He was so good to her it was like he was clinging to her, weaving a tight, inescapable net of tender dominance.’

However, she hugged Zhi Le’s neck, nuzzled him, and said, "I like you, Zhi Le. You’ve always been different in my heart."

A smile touched Zhi Le’s eyes. He hummed in agreement. "I know. Wei Ce and I are here at home, so don’t worry, Kitty."

Night fell, dark and heavy. Eight Beast Hours in the valley were equivalent to four days in the outside world. Si Shuo was constantly being carried by the males of her family in turns, walking slowly through the valley.

She would either sleep, eat, chat with them to distract herself, or listen to music and talk to the cubs in her belly.

At the crack of dawn the next day, Yin Jiang left the valley and flew toward Gubei. He flew incredibly fast, soaring over mountains, rivers, and forests. As he departed, he received a fifteen-minute, tenfold time-acceleration buff from Gong You, as well as an Invisibility buff from Xu Chi.

When the males left the valley, they generally relied on Si Shuo to teleport them home. To return to the valley, however, they could teleport directly. But Si Shuo usually felt cooped up and bored in the valley and liked to go home to pick them up.

Ten days crawled by. In the early morning of the second day after Ji Liang’s Beast Mark disappeared, Si Shuo felt a contraction!

She slowly circulated the Spring Breeze Technique, blocking ninety percent of the pain. She had given birth once before, after all, so she was very calm. She calmly ate a meal, nibbled on some fruit, then called out for Wei Ce and lay down on the bed.

The males thought she was tired and wanted to sleep.

But as Wei Ce held the little female, he saw the weariness and trace of sorrow in her eyes. His heart ached for her, and he kissed her between the brows. "Shuo, you’ve worked hard..."

Before he could even say the sweet nothings he’d been holding back, he heard two SQUEAKING sounds?!

The males outside the cave rushed in. Si Shuo was a little stunned. ’I thought my second birth would be fast, but not this fast. Has it even been ten minutes?’

But she quickly realized something was wrong. Lifting her skirt, she saw two palm-sized mice?!

’What happened to the human-form cubs we were promised? I’ve been nourishing them with Sixteen-level attributeless crystal stones every day, so why are they still in Beast Form?’

The new parents, Si Shuo and Wei Ce, looked at each other. Then, Wei Ce joyfully hugged her and gave her a hard kiss, telling her to lie back down while he handled the rest.

Xu Ye and Xuyou curiously came closer to look. "Little brothers?"

Si Shuo nodded. Seeing Wei Ce grinning so wide his eyes disappeared, she felt a trace of regret that she hadn’t had a son and a daughter, but she was still very happy to have her two little fuzzballs.

The birth of two new lives made the atmosphere in their home much more cheerful and joyous. The tender squeaks and murmurs of the two little ones, in particular, made the cave feel exceptionally lively.

Xu Chi, already familiar with the routine, handed over two bottles of milk and taught Wei Ce how to feed them.

"Kitty, have you thought of names for the two cubs?" Zhi Le asked, his heart melting as he watched the two Iron-eating Beast cubs drinking their milk with all their might, their eyes squeezed shut.

"Let’s call them Tuanzi and Yuanyuan for now. It’s a hope that our family can be whole and together. As for their proper names, let their grandfather choose them," Si Shuo said, looking at Wei Ce.

Wei Ce froze for a moment, then smiled and nodded emphatically. "Shuo, I’ll definitely make sure my Father gives our two cubs good names."

Xiao Cheng immediately fed Si Shuo an attributeless crystal stone. Si Shuo closed her eyes and slowly absorbed the Spiritual Energy. For the two months she was carrying the cubs, she had absorbed one every day, her body being tempered over and over again.

Once the crystal stone was in her stomach, it circulated through a few Grand Circulations in her body. The weakness from giving birth completely vanished, and even the lochia was completely expelled!

Before, when she’d only taken Twelfth level Crystal Stones, it took her five days to finish her postpartum confinement. Now, a single attributeless crystal stone had already restored most of her strength.

Moreover, guiding the Spiritual Energy to transform into Spiritual Power within her body, nourishing her physique and tempering her bones and muscles, all consumed a great deal of spiritual power.

Si Shuo had a feeling that even though she had stopped condensing Spirit Plants, replicating, and drawing talismans because of her pregnancy, her spiritual power had increased, and her other abilities had risen accordingly.

Fifty or sixty Sixteen-level attributeless crystal stones were no joke!

Yin Jiang had already arrived in Gubei. He concealed his own aura, masked it with the aura of another Flying Beast, lowered his apparent cultivation level, and put on a Human Skin Mask, pretending to be a wandering trader to enter the city and gather information.

The "North Head Tribe," which had practically controlled all of Gubei with its monstrous power and heinous crimes, had apparently provoked some High-level Beastman and was uprooted in the blink of an eye. Only about twenty members escaped. The Beastmen who had long been suppressed, their hatred buried deep, tallied up the number of "North Head Tribe" members who had been reaped and compiled a list of all who had slipped through the net. The list included their names, Beast Forms, Levels, superpowers, and appearances, and a Gubei-wide manhunt had begun!
