Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 300 - 299: The Brutality of Exchanging Children to Eat
These days, the family lived a very regular life, balancing eating, drinking, playing, learning, and Cultivation. The Snow Leopard cubs were growing fast. They opened their eyes in just two or three days, and they were the same beautiful grayish-blue as their Father’s.
The little ones were fluffy, no different from a kitty, wobbling around on the bed as they explored curiously.
Si Shuo loved dangling a cat teaser in front of them or tossing a ball of yarn. She was practically treating her own cubs like pets!
After several days of testing, everyone confirmed that Xue Bao’s superpower acted on Spiritual Power. It could attack any barrier supported by Spiritual Power, and with considerable force.
The Defensive Array that Si Shuo set up with Array Flags was hammered full of dents by his non-standard, one-word shouts of "Break," as if he were an awl chipping away at a wall. If the little guy weren’t so impatient—tapping a few times here and a few times there—he definitely would have punched right through the Array. Once an Array had cracks or holes, its defensive capabilities were greatly diminished.
Ten days had passed, and Si Shuo had replicated two hundred and fifty Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pills. Xiao Cheng carried Tuanzi home, handed the elixirs over to Wei Jin, and then immediately teleported back.
Time flew by. They spent another four days in the Time Array, then dispersed to handle their own tasks, using Tuanzi as their little utility cub.
When they returned to the valley, it was evening the next day. With three new Snow Leopard cubs, the house was especially lively.
The half-month-old Snow Leopard cubs were all very energetic. If you didn’t watch them for a second, you wouldn’t know where they’d run off to. Afraid the cubs would get outside, one of the males always had to keep an eye on the doorway.
"Xue Zhu, come on, transform into a chubby baby for Mother," Si Shuo said with a laugh, grabbing the female Snow Leopard cub who was tentatively trying to jump off the bed. "If you transform, I’ll give you something yummy to eat!"
She took out small fish, eggs, milk, meat congee, and fruit, arranging them one by one until the table was full. Every single item was a favorite of the cubs.
Forget Xue Zhu—aside from Youyou, who had an unknown stash of food and had already fed himself into a chubby little baby, all the other cubs were whining impatiently, crying out for their Father and Mother. Tuanzi’s voice was the loudest of all!
Yuanyuan transformed into a toddler without any trouble, successfully snagged a bunch of bananas, and flew up to the second floor with his newly sprouted wings to enjoy his treat in private. He didn’t even give Tuanzi a chance to ask for a buff.
Xu Ye and Xuyou had been able to transform for a while now. They each picked out their food, which Xuyou stored in her space. Then, Xu Ye flew up to the second floor while carrying his sister, found a good spot to watch the show, and leisurely took a sip of milk and a bite of fruit. Then he’d chew on some small fish or meat jerky, or maybe toss a roasted peanut into his mouth. The CRUNCH CRUNCH sounds made the other cubs’ cries even more pitiful.
Tuanzi’s face turned red from straining, and he let out several little toots, which made Si Shuo laugh so hard her stomach hurt. She almost felt bad for him.
Ji Liang chuckled softly. "Tuanzi, for Transformation, you need to picture your specific appearance in your mind and clear away all distracting thoughts, like wanting to eat. You have to reach a state of selflessness."
But Tuanzi was only trying to transform so he could eat! The little guy grunted impatiently and spun around in place.
Youyou said in his clear voice, "Tuanzi, you’re silly. Just chant ’transform.’ If you keep chanting, you’ll forget about eating."
Tuanzi tilted his head. "Transform, transform, transform, transform... trans... form... Mother, I have to poopoo..."
Everyone immediately burst out laughing. Xu Chi scooped him up and went to find a natural latrine.
Si Shuo lowered her voice and said to the three identical, adorable Snow Leopard cubs, "While your brother is off taking a stinky, you guys should hurry up, transform, and pick out your treats."
The Snow Leopard cubs were in a period of rapid growth and could have eaten seven or eight meals a day. They were starving right now, and with so much food right in front of them, they were getting anxious just looking at it without being able to eat. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦
One by one, they let out sharp little cries at her.
"Acting cute and spoiled won’t work. Your older brothers and sisters could already transform when they were your age. I don’t believe you can’t do it."
Xue Zhu glanced at her older brother and sister, who were cheerfully eating as they watched the spectacle of one adult and three little ones. She tilted her head, pounced toward Si Shuo, and by the time her front paws landed, she had become a beautiful little toddler.
The little one had silvery-white hair and luminous, grayish-blue eyes. Her features were delicate and exquisite—a miniature version of her Mother. Even Ji Liang was stunned by the sight.
"Mwah!" The little one saw that her paws had turned into chubby little hands, and her face lit up with joy. She immediately pointed at the delicious food on the table.
Si Shuo laughed, held her close and kissed her for a moment, then placed her in the middle of the table and let her choose whatever treats she wanted.
When Tuanzi returned after relieving himself, he saw that his younger siblings on the stone table had all transformed. In other words, all the cubs in the family had transformed. He was the only laggard!
He got so angry his face turned red again. "Transform, transform, transform..."
Xue Zhu even thoughtfully made a fist at him and cheered, "Bwudda, go!"
Watching the cubs every day filled Si Shuo with endless joy. ’Each and every one of them is just so much fun.’
When it was time to sleep that night, Tuanzi was still mumbling "transform, transform, transform" dazedly with his eyes closed.
Xiao Cheng got home rather late. He first downed a glass of honey water in one gulp, then explained the situation in the city while slowly eating his meal:
"Sis, the news about Mi Xing’s superpower—the one that lets her ’borrow a seed’ to have children—has spread throughout all of Guangshou City. After a huge fight with Mi Xing, Vermilion Bird Gui Hong left the city. Two of her other High-level Beast Husbands went with him.
"Mi Xing is just staying at the inn and hasn’t gone anywhere. It looks like they had a falling out, but it’s just a front. In reality, Gui Hong and the other two have gone outside the city in disguise. They’re persuading the Rogue Beasts to take what isn’t theirs, capitalizing on the fact that sixty to seventy percent of the Beast Soldiers are gone, and more than half the males from the various families and tribes are also away.
"The Beastmen outside the city have long struggled for food and clothing. With many cubs at home, their burdens are heavy. Their Levels are too low to risk hunting in the Northwest Forest, so they just get by catching small animals in the nearby woods, raising a few chickens and ducks, and helping others with farm work.
"Every year, the rainy season and the coldest season are disastrous for them. They have little stored food, and many of the weak—cubs who aren’t cared for, females, and the elderly—don’t survive. Some Beastmen even steal other people’s cubs to eat, and there are even cases of them swapping cubs to eat..."
The males had always known the cruel laws of survival; such things were not uncommon anywhere on the Beastman Continent.
But this was the first time Si Shuo had ever heard of such things. The mere thought that she could have transmigrated into a family like that made her shudder with lingering fear.
’So the difficulty of my transmigration wasn’t set to hell mode after all.’
"Those Beastmen have likely been persuaded. Now they’re going around gathering more Rogue Beasts to join them... Sis, I just teleported back from outside the city. They’re all saying that if they enter the city and head straight for the Iron-eating Beast Clan, there won’t be any resistance. Other than the hundred or so Iron-eating Beast Clan Members they need to take care of, there will be no obstacles. They even say other families and tribes will use the chaos to help them, and then everyone will divide the Iron-eating Beast Clan’s food..."
