Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 273 - 272: Do You Believe Me?

Wei Jin agonized for three whole days before picking out a handful of names for Si Shuo, Wei Ce, and the others to choose from. He came up with options like Pengcheng, Kangjian, Yongwu, Shiyu, Chang’an, Huanyu, and Haohan—all of them chosen to sound as formidable as possible.

Si Shuo wrote down each character, and the family gathered around to look. In the end, they settled on the two characters for "Chang’an," since the meaning was auspicious and the name was simple and easy to say.

"From now on, Tuanzi will be called Wei Chang, and Yuanyuan will be called Wei An. Grandfather, Fathers, and Mothers, let us give our Blessing to our cubs for a hundred years, a hundred months, and a hundred days. May they have everlasting joy, everlasting happiness, and everlasting peace—a life of smooth sailing!"

Si Shuo chuckled and gently rubbed the two cubs’ heads. Tuanzi and Yuanyuan tilted their heads back and nuzzled against her, bleating with delight.

She then patted Xuyou and Xu Ye, and the two little ones also chirped happily in response.

After the Female Saint Conference, everyone returned to their busy lives. With four cubs in the house, things were even more lively and cheerful.

The existence of the Iron Beast Cubs had been kept secret for over half a month. Wei Jin told the tribe that the cubs were weak and shy around strangers and that he would bring them out to meet everyone after some time.

So, while at home, Gong You would cast a slowing Time Law on the cubs to keep them from growing up too fast.

A few days passed, and Ji Liang brought some news: Mi Xing was pregnant with Ni Chang’s cub and was now being supported by the Jin Family!

In his delight, Ni Chang showered Mi Xing with gifts, handing over various shops, Crystal Stones, precious ores, and Beast Skins in a constant stream.

Si Shuo was eating grapes, and in her shock, she swallowed one whole. "COUGH COUGH... Ji Liang, are you sure you heard that right? Wasn’t Ni Chang rendered sterile? How could he possibly get a female pregnant?"

Ji Liang patted her back and said in a low voice, "The news has already spread. It just happened this morning. Ni Chang can feel his own bloodline, so there shouldn’t be any mistake.

The timing matches up with the Female Saint Conference. Basically, within three to five days of a female becoming pregnant, the cub’s biological Father will be able to sense it."

Si Shuo was astounded. ’Ni Chang is that old, and he can still get a female pregnant? He tried for decades without success, and we just had him... fixed. How could a fish have slipped through the net, letting Mi Xing cash in?’

Ji Liang pinched her cheek, amused. "So, perhaps Mi Xing’s superpower has to do with childbirth?"

Locking onto a general direction, Si Shuo’s eyes shifted as a bold theory formed in her mind. "Ji Liang, you mentioned that Mi Xing always has two Beast Husbands of the same Beast Form—one High-level and the other ordinary. Is there some connection there?"

Ji Liang drew in a sharp breath. "Beastmen with high talent and Combat Power Values have more enhanced bodies, which ironically makes it slightly more difficult for them to sire offspring.

It’s difficult for ordinary females to withstand the nutritional drain from a high-talent cub, which requires being fed massive amounts of Crystal Stones, Spiritual Beast Meat, and Spirit Grass. And when the cubs are born, their own aptitude will be somewhat diminished.

The limit of what they can bear is a cub from a Twelfth Level father. That is to say, Beastmen at the Twelfth Level or higher should ideally find a Female Saint to have cubs with.

A Female Saint can bear offspring for outstanding Beastmen. Even so, it’s not like cubs can be born just because you want them to be..."

"A Beast Husband with ordinary aptitude can easily cause a pregnancy, while a Beast Husband with high talent produces a cub with high aptitude. If you could combine the two..." Si Shuo’s eyes widened, as if she had just uncovered the secret of Mi Xing’s superpower.

Ji Liang agreed that this was a strong possibility. ’After all, a Devouring Ability exists, so it’s not impossible for a Female Saint to carry the cubs of two males at once and let one Devour the other in the womb!’

"Ji Liang, go and do some more digging. Find out the aptitude of Mi Xing’s previous cubs. Also, find out about their biological fathers, and her other Fathers who share the same Beast Form."

As long as they could figure out these key questions, they would understand Mi Xing’s superpower.

Ji Liang nodded and left immediately without any delay.

Xuyou loved to be in on the action, but the adults’ conversation was too inappropriate for a child. Ji Liang had activated a Protective Shield, so she couldn’t hear a single word. Since she couldn’t read lips either, she grumbled in frustration.

’Curiosity was eating her alive. What kind of news could make Mother’s expression change so drastically?’

"Mother, what’s up?" Xuyou asked eagerly.

Si Shuo smiled and tapped her on the head. "It’s nothing. This isn’t something a little cub like you should be listening to. Hurry up and eat!" 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Tuanzi and Yuanyuan were happily burying their faces in their bowls, drinking milk. After they finished, they held up the bowls and licked them clean.

Wei Ce wiped his two sons’ mouths, plopped them into a nearby bamboo basket, and gave each of them a slice of apple.

Not getting a satisfactory answer, Xuyou had Xu Ye give her a piggyback ride into the basket as well, so she could play with her younger siblings.

The two little ones ate a lot every day. They wore strings of Crystal Stone Beads around their necks and looked extremely cute and chubby.

Xuyou loved to pounce on them, pin them in her arms, and nuzzle and huff them. The two little ones were good-natured, like living dolls, letting their older sister roughhouse with them, though their dark eyes held a faint trace of grievance and helplessness.

’They, too, had received the inheritance from their Mother, which gave them a love for Iron-eating Beasts that transcended time and space. The only problem was, they *were* the Iron-eating Beasts?!’

’What could they do about it? Might as well just huff each other.’

Xuyou hugged Yuanyuan and whispered in her ear, "Little sister, you’re obviously... Sister Yuanyuan. So why did... Father and Mother... get it wrong?"

Yuanyuan made an "mm" sound. Xuyou immediately said happily, "See? See? I was right!"

"But... Father said... female cubs should be... like me, a baby doll. Why are you... in Beast Form?" Xuyou asked quizzically, tugging on Yuanyuan’s ears.

As soon as she finished speaking, she felt the cub in her arms suddenly change, like an exploding balloon. With a POP, the fluffy cub turned into a beautiful, fair-skinned, chubby baby!?!?! (ÒωÓױ)!

Xuyou was so shocked she could only stutter "you... you... you..." for a long moment. Then she shrieked and excitedly yelled, "Father! Mother!"

The adults rushed over, but Xuyou’s shriek startled the chubby baby right back into an Iron Beast Cub...

Xuyou and Yuanyuan stared at each other, wide-eyed. Xuyou looked up at the cluster of heads peering over the basket’s edge, meekly held up Yuanyuan, and asked, "Father, Mother... if I said Yuanyuan is a girl and she can transform, would you believe me?"

Si Shuo just gave her a look and walked away, clearly not believing her.

Xiao Cheng sighed and shook his head. "This cub is so dramatic. She must have been influenced by her Father Wei Ce."

Wei Ce raised an eyebrow, patted Xuyou’s head, and said with a smile, "Youyou, do I look like I believe you? Although your Father Wei Ce also wishes we had a female Iron Beast Cub, the Beast God didn’t hear our prayers.

In the future, with an older brother and two younger brothers to protect you, our Youyou will be the happiest of all."

Xuyou puffed out her cheeks and looked at Tuanzi. "Tuanzi, you saw it, right?"

Tuanzi made an "mm" sound.

"Yuanyuan transformed, right?"

"Mhm!"

Wei Ce laughed heartily. "Youyou, how old are they? Their growth has slowed down again recently, so they’re developmentally about two and a half months younger than you.

Whatever you ask them, they’ll just respond with ’mhm’, right, Tuanzi, Yuanyuan?"

"Mhm!"

"Mhm!"

Xuyou looked down and saw Yuanyuan grinning at her, baring her teeth! Or more accurately, revealing a row of pink gums...
