Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 304 - 303: Forget It, That Wasn’t Me

The Beastman looked shifty and furtive. You could tell with a single glance that he was a large, gray Mouse Beastman, completely without a backbone!

The four beastmen right next to him lowered their heads, raised their chins, and looked left and right, watching him put on a one-man show with his myriad expressions, dragging Mi Xing and her Beast Husbands through the mud.

And yet, as soon as he said this, other Rogue Beasts started nodding in agreement. "Clan Leader, we weren’t the masterminds! We were just following orders... It was the Mi Xing Saint Female and her Beast Husbands! They instigated us to come here to get revenge on you... We just got carried away by what they said..."

Was it really Mi Xing and her Beast Husbands? They didn’t know. All they knew was that the person who came to advise them on the plot was completely covered up, blending in with the night.

But now, it didn’t matter who that person was. As long as they could lessen their own guilt, they would falsely accuse anyone!

With one person chiming in, the others quickly followed. "Yes, yes, it must have been the Mi Xing Saint Female and her Beast Husbands. Their argument and separation was a fake, just an act for our benefit. In reality, when those few left the city, it was to persuade us to become their tools for revenge..."

"That person was bundled up tightly, stumbled when they walked, and had poor eyesight. It must have been a Flying Beastman... And I think his voice sounded like that Young Master of the Vermilion Bird..."

These Rogue Beasts were scattered all over the Beast City, so their information network was better than most. Now, as they all scrambled to pin the blame on Mi Xing, they had actually managed to get surprisingly close to the truth.

Wei Ce listened dispassionately as they relentlessly tried to push the blame onto others, the corner of his lip twitching. "If they are at fault, we will certainly demand an explanation from the Mi Xing Saint Female at dawn."

"But you won’t escape your punishment either!"

After speaking, he turned his head to look at the strong, well-built clan members beside him. They immediately leaped forward, landing on the pile of bound beastmen at the very top. After tearing away the vines, they began to go through them one by one, crippling their Dantians and breaking one of their legs.

Terrified pleas for mercy and miserable screams sent shivers down one’s spine in the dark night, but these people weren’t worthy of the slightest bit of sympathy.

The High level Beastmen worked hard hunting outside the city, stockpiling food for the rainy season and the coldest season. Weren’t they also culling the Wild Beasts in the forest, preventing a situation where everyone was holed up at home during the dead of winter, only for starved Wild Beasts to attack the city in massive packs? Such a thing had happened before. That was why, ever since the Beast City was founded, the Beastmen had always been tasked with spring and autumn hunts.

In other words, the Beastmen who traveled far from home were fighting for the very survival of all Central Continent Beastmen, while this pack of Rogue Beasts stayed safely behind, trying to steal from their home and reap where they had not sown. If it were you, could you stand for it?

They had bullied their way right to the Iron-eating Beast Clan’s doorstep. If the Iron-eating Beast Clan Members hadn’t been vigilant, the entire Beast City might have seen a complete upheaval.

Any mercy shown now would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains...

But there were over three thousand Beastmen. Blood flowed down from the top of the pile, and the air filled with the thick, coppery stench of it. Excitement and fear intertwined, searing this night deep into the hearts of every Beastman present.

The City Lord, who had arrived late, saw the scene, his pupils constricting. He said furiously:

"Excellent. Just as expected of Rogue Beasts, unable to change the selfishness and callousness in your bones. We gave you a way to make a living, letting you into the city to work. It wasn’t so you could covet your employers’ homes."

"Since you have no appreciation for this opportunity, from now on, no Rogue Beast from outside the city is to enter again... unless they are a Beast Husband who has received a Beast Mark from a female."

"To punish your boundless greed, all Rogue Beasts present will be hung from the city walls for three days! Let everyone see the consequences of breaking agreements and causing trouble!"

Although the rainy season was approaching, the power of the autumn heatwave was not to be underestimated. The midday sun was venomous and blinding. After being hung out to dry for a day, they would lose more than half of their body’s water. And they had to be hung for three days? Was there any chance of survival?

The Rogue Beasts, in their despair, had resigned themselves to their fate. They couldn’t even form the words to beg for mercy, so filled with regret they could die. If they had a chance to do it all over again, they definitely wouldn’t have gotten involved.

But wait, where was the gray Mouse Beastman who had been playing multiple roles just now? A few of the nearby Rogue Beasts stared at a rock that had appeared out of nowhere, completely unable to understand how the Beastman who had been shouting a moment ago had suddenly turned to stone!!! ━━∑(￣□￣*|||━━

This time, the Iron-eating Beast Clan had not only captured all the invading Rogue Beasts and punished them severely, but had also fiercely established their dominance in Guangshou City. For at least the next five, ten, or even twenty or thirty years, no one would dare to have designs on the Iron-eating Beast Clan again.

When City Lord Ni Jing learned that this matter was related to the Mi Xing Saint Female and her Beast Husbands, he immediately ordered the Beast Soldiers to arrest them, preparing to settle all scores, new and old!

With the matter finally settled for the time being, Si Shuo was so sleepy she could barely keep her eyes open. She hugged Xu Chi’s neck and nuzzled against him, only to be startled by the sudden appearance of Xiao Cheng.

He was still in his dusty, gray, shifty-eyed guise from before. He didn’t look like a good person at all—a total eyesore!

"Si Shuo, how was my performance?" he asked, flashing her a fawning smile??!! (#^.^#)

Si Shuo turned to look at Xu Chi and chuckled lightly. "Our dear Xu Chi is still the exquisitely handsome one. I can’t take my eyes off him."

Xu Chi’s ears turned red. His deer-like eyes were moist, full of a natural innocence and shyness. "Then A’shuo should keep looking."

’He’s so cute it should be illegal,’ Si Shuo’s heart tickled with a mischievous urge. ’I really want to tease him, to see him cry and beg me for mercy...’

Xiao Cheng grew anxious. "But aren’t I handsome?"

As he spoke, he straightened his posture, and a long, thick, smooth tail popped out!

It was only then that he belatedly realized he was still in his gray mouse form, and that the young female had seen his ugly tail! Σ(⊙▽⊙"a

Xiao Cheng immediately transformed back into his true form. "Forget that! That wasn’t me just now. You’ve praised me for being beautiful before!"

Si Shuo gave him a deadpan look. "Sometimes an image is so vivid, you can’t forget it with just one look. I’m going to need until I wake up tomorrow—no, until lunch tomorrow—to empty my head."

In other words, she didn’t want to see him before then.

Xiao Cheng transformed into a Three-tailed Blue Fox. Even with a face full of fur, he still managed to look utterly wronged. He gently tapped her leg with a paw. "I... I’ll pick a better-looking disguise next time. I just thought that since Mouse Beastmen have no backbone, it would be an easier role to play..."

Si Shuo had a huge weakness for fluffy things. And here was such a beautiful Three-tailed Blue Fox acting cute to apologize to her, who was also her own youngest and most mischievous Beast Husband.

Thinking about how long Xiao Cheng had been running himself ragged for the sake of the Iron-eating Beast Clan, Si Shuo’s heart completely melted. She fed him a Dust Cleaning Talisman.

Once the talisman had cleared away all the strange odors on him, she finally opened her arms to him.

Xu Chi tilted his head slightly and blinked. ’The young female’s temper is like a tornado. It comes on fast and fierce, and then it’s gone so quickly it’s like it never even happened.’

’It seems I’ve learned something new again. Next time I make the young female angry, should I transform into my Beast Form to cheer her up?’

Si Shuo buried her head in Xiao Cheng’s chest, clearly feeling a joy so overwhelming that he seemed ready to howl with delight. His three tails were wagging so fast they became a blur, like a fan, and she could even feel a cool, late-summer breeze from them.
