Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 266 - 265: How Could They Bring It Up?

Next, the Female Saints came forward to give their blessings. Gong You and Wei Ce stood on either side of her, their expressions a mixture of conflicted and helpless. They took turns giving her little warnings, even worrying about her just walking up the stairs.

Si Shuo smiled, pressing her lips together. Anyone who knew them would understand they were just concerned for her; anyone who didn’t would think their own cub was about to go on a long journey. But she liked them this way, listening with a beaming smile and not a hint of impatience. Seeing her looking so well-behaved and beautiful made them want to drag her home and hide her away right then and there!

The High Priest led the Female Saints as they clasped their hands in prayer, piously circling the Beast God in the center, their hearts filled with beautiful blessings for the Beast World. Not all Female Saints were like Si Shuo, capable of forcing the Beast God to appear.

The only time in their lives they might have a true connection to the Beast God was when they were chosen as Female Saints. At all other times, even when they prayed while giving birth to cubs, they rarely sensed the Beast God’s presence.

So, everyone cherished this opportunity to pray to the Beast God, made possible through the High Priest’s communication.

Si Shuo was also murmuring a prayer in her heart. ’I hope the Beast World will be free of major disasters and calamities, that the Beastmen will live in peace and happiness, and that its economy, technology, and culture will take great leaps forward. My second wish is for all my Beast Husbands to be safe and sound, to grow old with me, and to share a lifetime of warmth together. My third wish is for my cubs to be smart, lively, and healthy, and may all their wishes and desires come true!’

After they came to a stop, the High Priest didn’t tell them to return to their seats. Instead, he called for the males attending the assembly who still had their Beast Marks and a Combat Power Value of Twelfth Level or higher to come onto the stage.

’Why does this scene look so familiar?’ Si Shuo tilted her head, glancing toward where her Beast Husbands stood. It wasn’t just Gong You and Wei Ce; Zhi Le, Yin Jiang, and Xiao Cheng, who were all supposed to be on duty, were there too. ’Xu Chi is probably watching me with his Invisibility as well.’

The other Female Saints’ Beast Husbands were the same, all standing below the stage watching their own females, waiting to see if they would be getting a new Couple Brother today and just what was so special about him to have caught their female’s eye.

The line of males with high Combat Power strode forward, heads held high and chests puffed out. Each one was dressed more revealingly than the last, showing off their powerful physiques. Furthermore, their human forms deliberately retained their most prized features from their Beast Forms, like the beautiful plumage of a Flying Beast, the thick horns of a land beast, or sharp fangs.

Si Shuo felt as if she’d been transported to a cosplay beauty pageant; they all looked so lifelike! A few of the more unrestrained Beastmen even lifted their skirts, letting the Female Saints see the ’assets’ they possessed as males.

She quickly squeezed her eyes shut. Even though she’d only caught an accidental glimpse and hadn’t seen anything clearly, just the dark impression was enough to make her feel a wave of morning sickness. ’As expected, if they aren’t my own Beast Husbands, I can’t stand the sight of them.’

However, it turned out she was the conservative one. The Female Saints next to her were already covering their mouths and whispering amongst themselves—discussing colors, lengths, and shapes. Her eyes flew open as she listened. ’Is this something I can listen to for free?’

In her mind, she couldn’t stop herself from comparing them to her own men, and her face turned as red as a sunset cloud. Her skin was quite fair, and standing in the crowd of Female Saints, she looked like a white kidney bean mixed in with soybeans and black beans—already exceptionally eye-catching.

Now, her face was flushed like a peach blossom. The aloof, untouchable, ’keep-your-distance’ air she had deliberately cultivated was gone, replaced by a captivating and dazzling beauty that made the males in the front rows and those below the stage feel an itch in their hearts.

Zhi Le and the others’ faces darkened. They didn’t want anyone else to see their female like this!

Immediately, a male stepped forward to recommend himself. "Si Shuo Divine Female, I know of you. I have admired you for a long time. The reason I haven’t come to your door to ask to be your Beast Husband is that I wanted to work hard and improve my strength. Now, I am a Beastman with Twelfth Level Combat Power. I hope you will consider me..."

"Si Shuo Divine Female, I am an Ape Beastman with excellent Combat Power. This is my dowry..."

"Si Shuo Divine Female, I am the son of the Ni Family’s Second Elder..."

When it came to choosing a female, it was natural to pick the prettiest and most delicate one among those with similar fertility. Although Si Shuo looked fragile and thin, a good portion of the males driven by instinct loved her type. They wished they could tear out their hearts and lungs to provide for her, not caring about anything else. However, some males were more rational. They were extremely cautious about giving up their Beast Mark, as the female’s health was also tied to their own lifespan and Combat Power.

A female dying prematurely was a blow they simply couldn’t afford—it would set them back twenty or thirty years!

Si Shuo kept her head slightly lowered, showing everyone the top of her snowy-white head as she shook it repeatedly, indicating her refusal. No acceptance, no communication; she was just here to fill a spot.

Seeing her so passively refuse, the males felt helpless and couldn’t bring themselves to be angry. They could only dejectedly return to their places and reconsider who to follow.

"Si Shuo Divine Female, are you really not going to choose a few more Beast Husbands with high Combat Power?" Even the High Priest standing beside her couldn’t watch anymore and chimed in, frowning. "Later, we have High-level Warriors prepared, but they no longer have their Beast Marks. It’s not as reassuring as taking one of these Warriors. With a few more powerful Beast Husbands, the security for you and your cubs will be better. These are the most outstanding young males from our Guangshou City and the nearby Beast Cities..."

Si Shuo smiled and said, "High Priest, my health isn’t good. I can’t... I can’t handle too many... I already have seven or eight Beast Husbands at home, and I think that’s enough. If it really becomes an issue, we can talk about it later. Besides, there will be even younger and stronger ones next year."

As soon as she finished that last sentence, she felt the dagger-like glares from her Beast Husbands.

Since the females didn’t want the males—especially those who still possessed their Beast Marks—the crowd couldn’t really say anything. They couldn’t just force them into a resentful union, could they? For the males, that would be turning a good intention into a bad outcome.

After that wave of males, the next to come up were the males at Twelfth Level and above who no longer had their Beast Marks.

Si Shuo kept her head slightly lowered, avoiding eye contact with any of the males. However, several males gazed at her with burning intensity, not at all discouraged. They believed that over the next few days, their formidable strength would surely be able to capture the Female Saint’s heart.

When the High Priest finally dismissed them, Si Shuo moved faster than anyone. Reaching the edge of the stage, she spread her arms and threw herself into Yin Jiang’s embrace.

This was a ten-meter-high stage, and she was genuinely pregnant! Even though Yin Jiang could one hundred percent catch her securely, the males were still scared into a cold sweat by her action.

Si Shuo turned the back of her head to Wei Ce and Gong You and even let out a ’harrumph,’ clearly displeased that the two of them knew about this whole process but hadn’t said a single word to her about it.

Gong You and Wei Ce exchanged a glance, a hint of bitter helplessness in their eyes. How could they have brought it up? By telling her not to bring home any new Couple Brothers?

Ultimately, they couldn’t justifiably demand it of her, nor did they dare to fully believe that she would let only them watch over her for the rest of her life.

If one day, one or several of them went to report to the Beast God early, the family would still have to welcome new members.

They only hoped their little female could be safe and happy. In a situation like this, they would respect her choice.
