Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 318 - 317: It’s a Good Thing They Aren’t Red

Chapter 318: Chapter 317: It’s a Good Thing They Aren’t Red

Si Shuo pursed her lips, gazing at the little black snake that was the spitting image of Ji Liang’s Beast Form. With a soft laugh, she gathered her courage and leaned in, gently touching its head with her lips. "See? Hasn’t Mother made a lot of progress?"

The little black snake slowly nodded, looking at her earnestly. Its golden eyes were exceptionally brilliant and beautiful.

Si Shuo stroked its head again, then turned to look at the little white snake, which had been diligently gnawing on its Snake Egg but was secretly peeking over at them.

She stroked the little white snake’s head as well and said with a smile, "Our Little White is so well-behaved and cute." Her lips touched the little one’s cool head.

Seeing the little white snake also go rigid as a stick, Si Shuo felt her remaining fear quickly melt away now that she had taken such a huge step.

She took out three pieces of Warm Jade. The jade pendants had holes in them, and she had threaded red string through them, weaving them into necklaces.

Si Shuo put one on Ji Liang, then dangled the others toward the Snake Cubs with a light laugh. "These are Warm Jades for our Little Black and Little White. You can wear them after your Transformation.

That way, you won’t have to be afraid when the weather gets cold."

The little white snake curiously extended its tail, waving it gently in front of Si Shuo.

Realization dawned on Si Shuo. She smiled and asked, "Does Little White want me to tie the jade pendant to your tail?"

Little White nodded vigorously and flicked its tongue out for a moment.

Si Shuo chuckled softly and lowered her head. She wove the strings on the two jade pendants into simple decorative knots and slipped them onto the two Snake Cubs’ tails.

When pressed against the skin, the Warm Jade was like a miniature furnace, providing a constant stream of warmth. But unlike a furnace or a heat pack, which used a dry, roasting heat that, while keeping one warm, would also feel drying and could cause irritation.

The Warm Jade wasn’t like that. It was as if it regulated your own body temperature, making you feel comfortably warm all over.

The two little snakes were so comfortable they couldn’t help but wiggle happily; they clearly adored it.

Si Shuo smiled, her lips pressed together. She glanced to the side and saw that Ji Liang’s features were also relaxed. He looked languid, an indescribable sense of contentment and joy radiating from him.

’So this is how Snake Beastmen show affection,’ she thought. ’It’s direct and simple, a mix of cool and cute that makes them even more irresistible.’

Once the cubs finished eating their eggshells, she smiled and held out her hands. "Come on, Little Black, Little White, make Mother a bracelet!"

The two Snake Cubs glanced at each other. ’Seriously? Why does Mother have to call us Little Black and Little White? Just because she’s been corrupted by watching too many dramas doesn’t mean she can be lazy with our names, right?’

’It’s a good thing we’re not red. If there was a Little Hong, we’d want to bang our heads against a wall!’

However, they were more than happy to satisfy their mother’s enthusiastic request. They slowly slithered next to Si Shuo and began coiling around her wrists, watching her expression the whole time. It seemed that if she showed even the slightest hint of fear, they would spring away immediately.

Many exquisite and cool jewelry designs are snake-themed, and black and white are timeless, versatile classic colors.

And now she had two of them at once. "They’re beautiful!"

By now, all the cubs were awake. Hearing that the Snake Cubs had hatched, they couldn’t wait and Teleported one by one to their mother’s side. They saw the pair of living black-and-white snake bracelets and were both envious and delighted. They all stuck out their chubby arms, asking their new little brother and sister to coil around them.

The little black snake was the older brother, and the little white snake was the younger sister!

The two little Snake Cubs were good-natured and didn’t find it annoying at all, affectionately greeting each of their older brothers and sisters in turn.

"Mother, Little Black and Little White don’t sound good. Let’s change their names," Youyou was the first to speak up for her younger brother and sister.

Si Shuo was taken aback. ’She’s right, they aren’t very nice names,’ she thought. ’In the show, everyone called the Green Snake Little Qing, but no one called the White Lady Little White. And Little Black is even worse...’

"Alright, here’s a job for everyone! The adults will come up with official names for the Snake Cubs, and the cubs will come up with nicknames! The names with the most votes win."

Immediately, everyone started racking their brains. Even Xiao Cheng, who was keeping watch at Bamboo Forest Mountain, participated through the space.

Soon, after a family meeting and after asking the two Snake Cubs for their opinions, they decided on the names. The older brother, the black snake, would have the official name Ji Wen and the nickname Jiao Tang. The younger sister, the white snake, would have the official name Ji Nuan and the nickname Sweet Ring!

The official names were based on temperature, while the nicknames were based on sweetness. In any case, they all carried the family’s love and blessings for the Snake Cubs.

The Snake Cubs also swayed their heads happily. ’Who wouldn’t want to be the darling of the family?’

With two new cubs in the family, they were still too young to live in the slightly damp and cold stone house on Bamboo Forest Mountain, so they continued to live in the cave with Ji Liang.

Si Shuo came to see them twice a day, and Yin Jiang came along as well to help dry out the cave with heat.

The rain fell ceaselessly. The Beastmen were used to roaming wild outside, and being cooped up was making them irritable.

Things were better at Si Shuo’s house. The males had been busy for so long that they were happy to rest at home, be affectionate with their little female, tease the cubs, eat good food, and occasionally play cards or mahjong to win the things their Couple Brothers used to attract the little female.

For example, Gong You’s small fish, which the males of the household had been coveting for a long time. They weren’t just the little female’s favorite, but also what the cubs loved most.

In Si Shuo’s eyes, there was no problem that couldn’t be solved with small fish. If one handful didn’t work, then two would!

With the examples of the Iron Beast Cub, the Snow Leopard cub, and the Snake Cubs all being born in their most primitive forms, Si Shuo didn’t dare to have a Yu Zai anymore.

The environment and climate just wouldn’t allow for it. Si Shuo sat next to Gong You and said in a low voice, "Gong You, how about we have a Yu Zai in the spring? When the flowers bloom and the spring hunt is over, we can go to the seaside for a while.

Didn’t you record the seaside’s location with a Thousand Miles Positioning Talisman? And we have Tuanzi, too. We can save the travel time back and forth.

And if you use a Time Array, we could go play at the seaside every three to five days!"

Gong You smiled and hugged her. "Alright. I’ll listen to my sweet cub."

He was so incredibly lucky to have met Si Shuo. With any other female, he would probably only be able to return to Da Hai once a year, during the trade season.

Moreover, the female would have to go to the seaside to give birth to the Yu Zai, and he would have to raise it alone for a year or two. Only after the cub’s Transformation could they go ashore to find the female.

None of these problems existed in their family!

Si Shuo smiled, pursing her lips. During this time, she had been cultivating diligently and had now completely mastered the Transformation Talisman.

That night, Gong You carried Si Shuo back to their room in his arms. Si Shuo then transformed into a true mermaid. She had a delicate, beautiful face framed by long, wavy, snow-white hair like seaweed, and her eyes were a brilliant sapphire blue. She wore a seashell top that revealed her elegant navel, and below it was a shimmering, light-blue fishtail.

"Brother Gong You, I had such a hard time looking for you. I came all the way from the Far North to get here, and you didn’t even come to see me..." Si Shuo’s voice was soft and sweet, each sentence ending with a rising inflection that tickled one’s heart.

Gong You gasped. ’My little female is playing around again, and in such an irresistible way.’

He couldn’t resist stepping forward and tilting her chin up. "You like me that much? You followed me all the way here?"
