Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 261 - 260: You Were the One Who Called Ji Liang?

The Winged Dragon Clan’s reasoning was simple: it was every beast for themselves. Whoever snatched it, kept it!

They were also on good terms with the City Lord and certain council members. If anyone dared to challenge them, they would be accused of disrupting the harmony of Beast City, made an example of, and punished to intimidate others.

The other residents of Beast City weren’t united, so the Winged Dragon Clan exploited this weakness. Their territory expanded more and more until they had fenced off this grassland, the ten-thousand-mu lake, and the adjacent forest.

Every two or three years, the Winged Dragon Clan would form marriage alliances with other friendly families and tribes. They were generous to their in-laws, sending them gifts from time to time.

Although the land had not yet been registered as Winged Dragon Clan territory at the City Lord Mansion, everyone had already sullenly accepted the clan’s tyrannical dominance.

So it wasn’t just Si Shuo’s Beast Husbands hunting for their little female; other males were also taking this opportunity to catch game in the grasslands, the lake, and the forest for their own females and cubs.

And on an occasion like this, Xu Chi, with his Invisibility and Breath Concealment Ability, was like an electric shear to a sheep’s fleece. Taking advantage of his patrol duties, he tossed a great deal of food into his Sumeru Space.

Today was the day before the Female Saint Conference, and everyone was gradually arriving to set up camp.

Xiao Cheng held Si Shuo as they took a midday nap for a while. Gazing at the quiet, well-behaved little female in his arms, he felt he could never get enough of her. He wasn’t the least bit sleepy; on the contrary, his entire body was wide awake and buzzing with excitement.

He couldn’t help but lower his head to kiss her forehead, then slowly trailed his kisses downward. He treasured her, nuzzling her here and stroking her there. The happiness in his heart overflowed, turning into a searing flame that wouldn’t dissipate no matter what, making him want to do *something*.

Drowsy and half-asleep, Si Shuo felt the male beside her growing restless. She subconsciously nuzzled against his chest, which only fanned the flames even higher!

"Sweetheart, you just keep sleeping. Don’t mind me," Xiao Cheng said in a low, hoarse voice, and then began to help himself to a meal. He had the appetizer, the main course, and even the dessert, completely chasing away every last trace of Si Shuo’s sleepiness.

Seeing the little female’s forehead beaded with sweat, looking a bit listless from exhaustion, he chuckled and patted her back. "Want to sleep a little more, Sweetheart?"

Si Shuo sat up and bit down on a Dust Cleaning Talisman. Once her body felt fresh and clean, she threw herself into his arms and nibbled on him. "Sleep? You think I can possibly sleep now? Look at the time! Everyone else is up. If I stay in bed any longer, won’t it be obvious that..."

"Obvious that what? You’re pregnant, Sweetheart. It’s perfectly normal to be a little sleepy," Xiao Cheng said with a completely straight face.

Si Shuo’s face flushed. This fake pregnancy belly was making her males even more ferocious than usual.

"Besides, Sweetheart, I only meant to have a little taste at first, not the whole feast. I only started to ’serve’ you because I saw you were uncomfortable. Didn’t you like it?" Xiao Cheng asked with a light laugh, pinching her chin.

’He was purely acting innocent after taking advantage of the situation!’

Si Shuo ground her teeth. ’It’s not just the males who want it; the females have needs too. Once things get that heated, how can you just stop abruptly? Besides, everyone went back to their tents to rest at noon. What kind of event is this? It’s the Female Saint Conference! Which female here doesn’t have three or five males by her side? With those... harmonious sounds coming from all directions, it’s no wonder her own male couldn’t hold back.’

"Go, go, go. I’m giving you the afternoon off. Go cool off somewhere. I want Zhi Zhan to keep me company!" she said, pushing him away.

Xiao Cheng hugged her and stole a few more kisses. "Ah, so you just use me and toss me aside, how heartless. Fine, I’ll go see if our parents have arrived."

"I still haven’t given you my dowry. I have to make it up to you, Sweetheart!"

After he left, Zhi Zhan slipped in. By now, Si Shuo had already activated her Spring Breeze Technique. A cool Spiritual Power circulated through her body, completely erasing her earlier fatigue and discomfort.

But gazing at Zhi Zhan’s cool eyes, stern face, and tall, sturdy frame, Si Shuo felt the air grow hot again. It was as if she had just finished a cold drink named Xiao Cheng, and the Spring Breeze Technique had been like turning on the air conditioning. Now that the Spell had faded, the sweltering heat of summer came rushing back.

’Is being around so many Beastmen stimulating me, causing my Mating Period to arrive early?’

He saw the little female’s eyes darken slightly, yet they were as moist and clear as the lake outside. Her gaze was fixed on him, filled with a pitiful, soul-sucking vulnerability.

Zhi Zhan stepped forward and pulled her into his arms. How could he not be familiar with this look of hers? "You’re a greedy little kitty..."

In the valley, Zhi Le and Zhi Qi, who were watching the cub, suddenly froze. Their breathing grew heavy. They exchanged a look, grabbed the soundly sleeping Iron Beast Cub, used a Teleportation Talisman to send it to Ji Liang, and then used another to teleport together to their little female’s side and merge!

Looking at Zhi Le’s handsome face, the joy in Si Shuo’s heart and body made her unable to resist hugging him tightly at the crucial moment. She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "Zhi Le, give me a litter of Snow Leopard cubs, okay?"

Zhi Le froze completely. Si Shuo smiled, her lips pressed together. She put an elixir in her mouth, crushed it, and kissed him, letting the potion’s effects drive them both as they began the process of making Snow Leopard cubs!

As evening fell, Si Shuo’s energy returned, and the symptoms of her Mating Period were completely gone. She looked down and stroked her belly.

Zhi Le’s hand covered hers. He held her tightly, greedily burying his face in the crook of her neck, cherishing everything about her. "Kitty, do you remember the first time we met?"

Si Shuo nodded. That time, too, she had been in her Mating Period, and the two of them had formed a Contract to become mates.

"At the time, I knew I wouldn’t make it back for your next Mating Period, so, on the off-chance it might work, I contacted Ji Liang."

Si Shuo froze for a moment, then turned her head to look at him and asked in disbelief, "You were the one who called Ji Liang?"

Zhi Le smiled and gave her a kiss, then nodded. "That’s right. Before I left with the tribe for the spring hunt, I found a friendly Flying Beast to carry a message to him."

"Before I was injured, Ji Liang and I had a mutual admiration for each other. We worked hard to improve our cultivation, all so we could better protect our future female and cubs. One time, while drinking, we talked about what kind of female we wanted to find."

"What kind did you want?" Si Shuo asked, her curiosity getting the better of her as she puffed out her cheeks.

"One we would love at first sight, one we’d be willing to give our lives for! The first time I saw you, Kitty, I wanted to hold you just like this. We both believe that we have a destined female, one we want to protect for a lifetime."

"The more we like someone, the more we fear we can’t protect them. That’s why I thought someone as wonderful as you, Ji Liang would definitely like you too. Everything about you, Kitty, would be an attraction for a Rogue Beast like him."

"What if Ji Liang hadn’t liked me?" Si Shuo now understood the power of the Mating Period. To think that Ji Liang, the Big Snake Beast, had been tricked into coming here by Zhi Le.

"Then, for the sake of our friendship, he still would have made sure you were settled safely and waited for me to return." Zhi Le smiled and nuzzled her gently. At this moment, it felt as if his heart had finally found its footing.

Si Shuo understood his heart. Back then, Zhi Le only had a Third-level Combat Power. Protecting her from being sent to the female cave was just the first, simplest step. The hard part was how to properly protect such a beautiful and delicate little female in the harsh Beast World.
