Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 272 - 271: The Tenderest Blade of Grass

The Iron-eating Beast Clan struggled when it came to having children. Whether it was because the Beastmen were selective about their mates, picky about their food, or simply had small litters, their clan consistently had the lowest number of newborn cubs each year among all the families and tribes in Guangshou City.

After Si Shuo had fully woken up and eaten her meal, Wei Ce suddenly let out a loud howl. It startled Si Shuo so much that her hand trembled, and the corn she was holding rolled onto the ground, getting covered in a layer of dust.

Xu Ye was so scared he forgot to flap his wings and fell to the ground with a SPLAT.

Meanwhile, Xuyou, who had been snuggling in Xu Chi’s arms and dozing off again, was jolted upright by Wei Ce’s shout. "What’s wrong? Was that an earthquake?"

Even the two Iron Beast Cubs who had just been brought home were so scared they started yelping like puppies??!!

The whole family glared at Wei Ce.

He scratched his head sheepishly. "Shuo, I... I was just acting. The males in our clan get this excited when they find out they’re having cubs!

Everyone knows how crazy I am about you. If I didn’t react at all to you having my cubs, that’s when people would get suspicious.

Besides, I’ve been bottling this up for so long... I just couldn’t control my emotions or my volume..."

Si Shuo pressed her lips together to hide a smile, placing a hand over her still-pounding heart. "Well, next time, Brother Ce, give us a heads-up first. Look how you scared the cubs."

Wei Ce nodded repeatedly. "I’ll definitely be more careful next time."

Just then, Wei Jin came scrambling over the wall in a hurry. "What is it? Wei Ce, what happened?"

’Wei Ce is one of the few Level 14 Beastmen in the clan. For even him to get this worked up, it had to be either a wonderful surprise or a terrible shock!’

As a father, Wei Jin hadn’t even had time to think; he just came straight over. As soon as he landed and finished asking his question, he saw two palm-sized Iron Beast Cubs, already covered in black and white fur and staring with jet-black eyes??!!

"This..." He glanced again at Si Shuo’s still-very-pregnant belly and was suddenly overcome with anger. He strode forward, ready to strike Wei Ce.

Wei Ce quickly dodged, and the father and son began another grand chase around the courtyard.

"Are you trying to kill me with anger?! Si Shuo is such a good female, when did you go and stir up such a huge..." Wei Jin was so angry he was on the verge of tears. ’His own son had always been reckless, but how could he be so clueless about something this important?’

’If his female gets angry and breaks their bond, what will happen to Wei Ce? Besides, how could the son he raised with his own hands be a philanderer? Isn’t one female enough for this brat to dote on?’

Wei Ce quickly turned and clamped a hand over Wei Jin’s mouth. A few solid, loving punches from his father landed squarely on his back, and he grunted. "Father, don’t get so worked up! How could I possibly do anything to let Shuo down?

My Beast Mark is with her; she’s my only female. A shuo gave birth to the Iron Beast Cubs for me early, we just kept it a secret for half a month because we were afraid others would get ideas."

Wei Jin’s mind was struggling to keep up. It was true, Wei Ce’s Beast Mark was with Si Shuo, so it was impossible for him to betray his own female.

’But the timing doesn’t add up, does it?’

Seeing his father’s utterly baffled expression, Wei Ce gave a low cough and a laugh. "Father, this Beast World of ours is huge, and there are so many Beastmen. What kind of strange things haven’t we seen?

All you need to remember is that Tuanzi and Yuanyuan are our family’s cubs. You’re a grandpa now, so hurry up and give the cubs their names."

With that, Wei Ce turned, scooped up a cub in each hand, and casually stuffed them into Wei Jin’s arms.

Wei Jin was so startled he didn’t dare move. The little bundles in his hands were soft and warm. They even touched his palms with their damp, soft noses and gave him a few friendly licks.

The once-furious, hard-faced man’s expression was now so tender it seemed to melt...

He shot Wei Ce an annoyed glare. "These are cubs! What kind of rough father are you?"

Wei Ce walked over to Si Shuo’s side and said pitifully, "Shuo, did you see that? Father used to dote on me like I was the apple of his eye. Ever since he found out about the cubs, I’ve become a poor, unwanted wretch."

Si Shuo chuckled at the sight and patted his head. "There, there. Big sister will dote on you!"

He pulled her hand down and gave it a light nibble. "It’s little sister..."

"Sister!" Xuyou clapped her hands, pointing at one of the Iron Beast Cubs. "Yuanyuan is a sister!"

Wei Jin was finally rediscovering the feeling of holding a baby. Cradling one in each hand, he gazed at them fondly, looking from one to the other. ’Wow, his son and his female were really something else, having two cubs in one litter.’

Hearing the little female cub’s words, Wei Jin chuckled and corrected her. "Youyou, these are both little brothers. When female cubs are born, they have to be chubby little human cubs, just like you."

Xuyou tilted her head, a confused look on her little face, and turned to look at Xiao Cheng.

Xiao Cheng chuckled and lifted her into his arms. "Youyou wants a little sister? Then how about you ask your Mother to give you a pretty little Three-tailed Blue Fox sister? With hair and eyes just like Father Xiao Cheng."

"Three tails?"

"No, female cubs can’t change into their Beast Form," Xiao Cheng said with an amused laugh.

Xu Ye had already scrambled back to his feet and thoughtfully chewed on a Dust Cleaning Talisman, making the little cub clean and pretty again. He looked at Gong You and grinned. "I want a fish sister!"

’Just like Father Gong You, with dark blue curly hair, dark green eyes, and snow-white skin. Wouldn’t that be pretty?’

Xuyou also clapped happily, clearly picturing a miniature female version of Gong You in her mind. "Pretty! Little brother wants one too."

The males of the household all looked at Si Shuo. Sure enough, the little female was also nodding with a delighted expression. ’The cubs must have spoken the words right from her heart, hadn’t they?’

They then turned to look at Gong You, who was smiling as he satisfyingly took out some small fish to feed the mother and her two children. The trio’s identical expressions of contentment made the others’ chests tighten with frustration!

The Beast Husbands in the family were all quite handsome, but they had always valued strength and hadn’t paid much attention to the looks of any Beastman other than their little female. ’How had they never noticed before that Gong You was so good-looking—the tenderest blade of grass in the whole family?’

Ji Liang said sourly, "I still remember when Little Shushu was sitting on my head and told Gong You she would ’go crazy for him, go mad for him, and *stupidly* bang her head against a wall for him’..."

’When did I ever say "stupidly"?!’

Si Shuo promptly collapsed into Wei Ce’s arms. "Ouch! Brother Ce, I’m going into labor!"

Her pained expression and voice sent Wei Ce into a panic. He scooped her up and rushed into the house. "Shuo, where does it hurt? I’ll call the Witch Doctor for you..."

The other males also followed them into the house in a tense rush.

But Wei Ce quickly realized what was happening. ’The little female has only been pregnant with the Snow Leopard cub for less than ten days, how could she be about to give birth?’

’She was putting on an impromptu performance, just like he had earlier!’

"Shuo, you nearly scared me half to death," Wei Ce let out a huge sigh of relief, then held her and began showering her with kisses, amused. From the moment he found out about the cubs until now, he still hadn’t fully wrapped his head around it all.

Whenever he thought of his current happiness, Wei Ce was filled with such joy that he wished he could break her down and devour her, to merge her completely with himself. Only then could he confirm that this reality was real, and only then could he relieve the sweet ache of his overflowing bliss.

"An eye for an eye," Si Shuo said with a light, triumphant laugh.
