Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 252 - 251: Skidding Out of Control

Soon, Yu Jing’s voice grew weaker, turning old and hoarse. "You... I curse you..."

Before she could finish, the Black Sheep Beastman shoved a steamed bun into her mouth. "MMMPH, MMMPH!"

She was filled with indignation. After having things go her way for so long, she never expected to be taken down by a mere Level 10 Beastman. Finally, her eyes closed, full of resentment and unwillingness to accept her fate.

Yin Jiang received Xiao Cheng’s paper slip and teleported over. He tossed a ball of fire onto the withered, old, and breathless female on the ground.

The group moved to a different location. Si Shuo, feeling a little listless, nuzzled against Xu Chi’s chest. "I really don’t know if bringing you all to Guangshou City in the Central Continent was the right decision."

Ever since she learned Ji Liang was missing, she had been on edge for a good seventeen or eighteen days, even giving birth to the cubs under a tenfold Time Law. The ordeal was finally over, but the negative emotions she hadn’t had time to process were now bubbling to the surface.

’I’m so afraid of losing any one of them! They are my lovers, but more than that, they’re my family. They’re the future Fathers of my cubs.’

Yin Jiang gently stroked her head. "Shuo’er, if you hadn’t come to the Central Continent, you never would have met me and Xiao Cheng at Dongye Middle Square. Could you have borne to see me trapped in a cage, in a state between life and death?"

Xiao Cheng nodded as well. "Shuoshuo, this is the Beast World Continent. Is there anywhere that’s completely safe? The wilderness is deadly, and the cities are full of schemes and plots. As long as our family is together, what difficulty can’t we overcome?"

Si Shuo lifted her head, her spirits rising. "You’re right. Wang Cha, who controlled dreams in Dongye Middle Square, and Yu Jing from Gubei, who could break seals... they won’t be the first, and they won’t be the last. We have to stay vigilant, no matter where we are.

"We have to look forward. I’m so happy that I met, got to know, and can now be with Yin Jiang and Xiao Cheng! I’ve never regretted that for a second."

’I have males who dote on and protect me, and I have four adorable cubs. I shouldn’t let sad things hold me back. What matters is living life to the fullest and becoming better. Nothing else is as important!’ 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ𝓋𝑒𝑙.𝑐𝘰𝑚

Si Shuo turned to look at Ji Liang, who had already removed his Human Skin Mask. Seeing his dazed expression, she walked a couple of steps closer and asked with concern, "What is it? Ji Liang, are you not feeling well?"

Ji Liang uncertainly touched his chest again, then suddenly swept her up in an excited embrace, spinning her around on the spot. "Little Shushu! Little Shushu, my Beast Mark is back! I can... I can offer you my mark now."

Si Shuo hugged his neck tightly, sharing his joy, and the gloom in her heart completely vanished. She leaned in and whispered in his ear, "Ji Liang, after I have the Snow Leopard’s cubs, I’ll give you a whole litter of Snake Cubs!"

Holding her, Ji Liang chuckled and whispered back, "Aren’t you afraid the cubs will be born in their Beast Form?"

"I’m not afraid anymore," Si Shuo said, her eyes welling with tears as she held him. "As long as you’re by my side, Ji Liang, that’s all that matters. You have to remember, no matter what happens, I’ll be waiting for you at home.

"I was able to find you this time, but I don’t know if I’ll be so lucky next time. You might be willing to leave me behind, but could you really bear to leave me and the cubs?"

"Okay," Ji Liang murmured, burying his face in her neck. His eyes grew hot and moist, yet he found it amusing. His heart completely melted. "Little Shushu, I missed you so much..."

’With other couples, it’s the males who want the females to have their cubs and keep them in their hearts. How come in our family, it’s the other way around?’

’It must be because I haven’t done enough.’ "Little Shushu, even without cubs, I would still come back to you!"

Xiao Cheng cleared his throat twice. "Ahem. Since that’s all settled, shouldn’t we go stroll around, get a bite to eat, and buy some trinkets to take home?"

Just as he expected, the little female stopped being lovey-dovey with the Big Snake Beast, her eyes shining brightly. "What’s good to eat and fun to do in Gubei?"

Her emotions came and went so fast that Ji Liang felt like a car skidding without brakes.

"Gubei also produces a lot of melons and fruits. The temperature difference between day and night is large here, and there’s plenty of sunshine, so the produce is especially fragrant and sweet. The local Beastmen pick many of the berries and sun-dry them for easy storage. The young females tend to like them..."

Si Shuo nodded in understanding. It was similar to the Border City of her era.

She disguised herself as an underage male and held hands with Xiao Cheng, with Yin Jiang following closely behind. They shopped from one end of the street to the other, and her cheerful energy showed no trace of the girl who had been crying in someone’s arms just moments before.

Xu Chi withdrew his fond gaze from the little female and turned to Ji Liang with a smile. "Ji Liang, welcome back! A shuo hasn’t laughed this happily since you went missing."

Ji Liang was still overcome with emotion. After his contract was inexplicably dissolved, he had imagined many possible outcomes, but never once did he think his Beast Mark could actually return. Even for a well-traveled and experienced trader like him, such a thought had been too audacious.

"It seems I wasn’t vigilant enough. In the future, even if my heart softens and I decide to save someone, I can’t show my face. I need to avoid stirring up all sorts of trouble!"

After playing to her heart’s content, Si Shuo started to feel sleepy.

Yin Jiang smiled and gave her a hug. "Shuo’er, you take everyone back. Rongzhi and I will escort Yimei and her family home."

Si Shuo nodded. "I haven’t told anyone that I ’unloaded the cargo’ early, so it’s not convenient for me to appear before Yimei. Yin Jiang, please thank her for me. I’ll bring the cubs to play with her later!"

"Alright. We’ll see you tomorrow afternoon then."

Upon returning to the valley, Zhi Le, Gong You, and Wei Ce all gathered around, clapping Ji Liang on the shoulder. Their faces showed undisguised joy as they welcomed him back.

Si Shuo looked at the two cubs, who had already grown fur but still hadn’t opened their eyes. She chewed on a Dust Cleaning Talisman before gently touching their heads. "Tuanzi, Yuanyuan, Mother has brought your Father Ji Liang back home."

She had been gone for a day, but in Gong You’s Time Law, the two cubs had grown for five days.

They recognized their Mother’s voice and scent, whimpering as they shook their heads and nudged their little bodies toward her.

Si Shuo was so delighted she couldn’t bear to blink. Her cubs were finally starting to look like little black-and-white bundles.

But a heavy little pendant was now attached to her leg. She looked down to see the little chubby girl grinning at her with two tiny, rice-sized teeth.

Si Shuo scooped her into her arms. "Youyou, did you give your Fathers any trouble while I was gone?"

"Youyou good. Helped Father. Fed little brother, little sister, drink milk," Xuyou said, lifting her chin proudly.

The cub, not even three months old, could already string a few words together. Young females started speaking early to begin with, and on top of that, a day in the Beast World was half a day longer than in Si Shuo’s previous world. They were also born with an innate inheritance of knowledge, and Beastman children developed quickly. Her body was equivalent to that of a child over a year old, but her intelligence already surpassed that of a four- or five-year-old.

Si Shuo smiled and corrected her, "It’s two little brothers."

"Brother, Tuanzi. Sister, Yuanyuan," Little Ye suddenly materialized in the air, flapping his wings cheerfully as he emphasized the point.

Si Shuo pressed a hand to her forehead. ’It must be because I kept talking about a little brother and sister before Tuanzi and Yuanyuan were born, so now these two little ones are taking it literally.’

Hearing the voices of their older brother and sister, the two little ones, though their eyes were still closed, started to whimper and squeak along happily.
