Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 285 - 284: This Isn’t Over

Si Shuo nodded, though she was still having a little trouble adjusting.

"Still," Si Shuo said with a chuckle, "Wei Ce’s new Mother seems pretty fierce. She shut the Yichu Saintess down so completely she was speechless! Haha, that was so satisfying. From what I can tell, she’s protective of her own and seems great in every way. How did she end up as a female no male was willing to choose?"

Xiao Cheng smiled and said, "I don’t know. Her few Beast Husbands are quite strong. Though their Levels aren’t particularly high, I can sense they have powerful auras. They should be able to fight opponents of a higher Level."

"Perhaps Wei Jin’s Father really hit the jackpot. After all, how bad can a female personally chosen by the Beast God be?"

Hearing this, Si Shuo felt a pang of guilt. She could only pray that this female, Song Ying, was truly a good person who would cherish Wei Jin’s Father. ’Hmm, and if she could give Wei Ce a little brother or sister, it would be wonderful to have a big, lively family!’

As Xiao Cheng carried Si Shuo on the way back, they ran into Zhi Qi, who was just coming down the mountain after a round of foraging.

Xiao Cheng considerately handed Si Shuo and the cubs over to Zhi Qi, while he went to process the four large baskets of foraged goods they had just collected.

Even though Si Shuo and Xu Chi possessed a Sumeru Space with excellent preservation effects and vast storage, it was much more convenient to use the foraged goods if they were processed and cleaned beforehand.

Besides, with so many eyes on them, they had to go all the way with their charade.

Si Shuo pressed her lips together to suppress a smile. ’My Beast Husbands get along too well,’ she thought. ’So well that sometimes I can’t resist stirring up a little trouble just to watch them bicker or spar.’

They all doted on her and protected the cubs in their home, even those who weren’t their own flesh and blood.

The cubs were young and more sensitive to affection. They knew how good their Fathers were to them, so they usually just called each of them "Father," only occasionally adding a name to tell them apart.

The males in the household all took turns with the chores. No one felt short-changed, and none of them ever thought of taking advantage or slacking off.

The cubs’ tent was next to theirs. As the weather grew warmer, they became too lazy to wander outside, so they would grab a plate of fruit and dive inside to play with the toys their Mother had designed and their Fathers had crafted.

From building blocks, nine-linked rings, and tangrams to jigsaw puzzles, a custom *Beast World* slide puzzle featuring their Fathers, and even Legos—the cubs had a wonderful time playing.

Zhi Qi put his arm around Si Shuo as they entered the tent. Suddenly, his expression turned cold as he spotted an unwelcome guest inside—Jiang Guo!

"Si Shuo Divine Female, I’m not like my Mother. I still have my Beast Mark, and I’m willing to devote myself completely to protecting you..." Jiang Guo said with a smile, stepping forward to offer himself.

Zhi Qi called out in a cold voice, "Xiao Cheng, we have an uninvited guest!"

In two swift leaps, Xiao Cheng was there. Seeing Jiang Guo, he smiled and cracked his knuckles. "Come on. Let’s go have a ’spar’."

’The Spirit Plants are all busy outside chasing away birds,’ Si Shuo thought. ’I can’t believe this guy managed to slip past them.’

Jiang Guo didn’t even glance at Zhi Qi, chuckling as he spoke. "Si Shuo Divine Female, you have far too few males protecting you. And they’re all from the Southern Continent, so their Cultivation Levels are too low."

"The only one who’s even decent is Wei Ce. Yin Jiang is a Flying Beast, and I doubt his Thirteenth-Level cultivation can even match the power of a Peak Eleventh-Level fighter."

"Xiao Cheng is a Three-tailed Blue Fox; his Twelfth-Level strength is all for show. And don’t even get me started on this measly Level 10 spotted cat."

"I’m worried I might not know my own strength and accidentally cripple them. You’d cry your eyes out, and in the end, I’d be the one whose heart aches for you..."

Si Shuo just smiled. "Does Wei Ce know you’re here?"

Jiang Guo’s expression faltered for a moment before he recovered with a smile. "My brother doesn’t know yet. But I’m sure he’d be delighted to protect the Si Shuo Divine Female alongside me." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

"The feud between Wei Jin’s Father and my Mother is a matter of the previous generation. It shouldn’t affect our relationship as brothers."

"Si Shuo Divine Female, I am one of the Young Masters of the Black Wolf Clan. I’m quite powerful and have an eighty percent chance of becoming the next Wolf King. When that time comes, you will be my Queen..."

’Ha, that’s hilarious,’ Si Shuo scoffed internally. ’The Yichu Saintess was tempted by such an offer and abandoned a Beast Husband who genuinely cared for her. What on earth makes Jiang Guo think that I, Si Shuo, would let him coax and manipulate me for some title of Queen?’

Si Shuo rubbed her ear. "And if my Xiao Cheng is reckless and ends up crippling you, that won’t be a problem, will it?"

As if he’d just heard the funniest joke, Jiang Guo looked Xiao Cheng up and down and burst out laughing. "Him? With that build, he’s barely stronger than a female. How is that even possible?"

"Don’t worry. I’ll fight him on a proper stage and we’ll sign a death waiver. That way, whether he dies or I die, we alone are responsible for the outcome."

"Our friends and family are forbidden from seeking revenge against the one who survives or isn’t crippled! So, what do you say? Do you dare to fight me?"

At the grand assembly for Beast Soldiers and Generals, there were countless warriors from all sorts of clans. It was common for members of the same family to share a surname, and sometimes even have similar given names. On top of that, her Beast Husbands had been relatively low-key, stopping their advance once they’d broken into the top one hundred.

It was perfectly normal that Jiang Guo was unaware of their true strength.

"But if I win, how about the Si Shuo Divine Female agrees to accept me?" Jiang Guo added.

"And what if my Xiao Cheng wins?" Si Shuo countered.

Xiao Cheng grabbed Si Shuo’s wrist, his voice low with disapproval. "Si Shuo, even if I’m more than eighty percent sure I can win, I will not have you as the wager!"

Si Shuo squeezed his hand and looked up with a soft smile. "Xiao Cheng, I believe in you. I’m giving you one chance to thrash him. Make sure to knock out a tooth or two, and teach him not to sneak into a female’s tent ever again."

Xiao Cheng gave her hand a helpless squeeze. "Just this once." He couldn’t bear the thought of even the slightest chance of failure.

Jiang Guo, thinking Xiao Cheng was afraid, smirked. "If he wins, then..."

"Anywhere I am present, you and your Mother are forbidden to appear," Si Shuo stated coolly.

"Fine, it’s a deal! Let’s go, little fox. In a bit, I’ll even let you choose which one of your tails to keep. I’ve heard the tails of the Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan are linked to... certain functions. Tsk, tsk. I wonder if you’ll still be able to get a female to bear your cubs after I’ve cut them all off."

Xiao Cheng laughed in fury. "Good. If I don’t beat you so badly you’re looking for your teeth on the ground, then we’re not done here!"

Zhi Qi quickly drew up the death waiver. After the two men swiftly signed it, they darted out of the tent and found an open space to begin their fight.

The two of them made quite a commotion, and it quickly drew a crowd of onlookers.

The Beast Husbands in Si Shuo’s household were all skilled in their own right. They often sparred together in their free time. Although Xiao Cheng was the youngest, his talent was high, and he possessed a combative nature completely at odds with his appearance. His progress was astonishingly fast.

Nowadays, as long as Gong You didn’t go all out, he and Xiao Cheng could fight to a draw.

Jiang Guo’s initial assault was ferocious, with every strike aimed at Xiao Cheng’s vital points. Yet, Xiao Cheng nimbly dodged each and every one. Jiang Guo had already unleashed twenty or thirty moves but had yet to even touch the hem of Xiao Cheng’s clothes.

Hearing the laughter from the surrounding crowd, Jiang Guo’s face flushed red, as if they were all mocking him for his incompetence.

With a low roar, he transformed into a Black Wolf and began lunging at Xiao Cheng repeatedly. He spat sharp pebbles from his mouth to distract his opponent, then opened his jaws, aiming to sink his fangs excitedly into Xiao Cheng’s neck!

Xiao Cheng seemed to be frightened stiff, standing frozen in place...
