Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 327 - 326: I’ll Be Your Mouth

Si Shuo stood to the side, watching. ’I have a strange feeling I can’t quite put my finger on.’ She looked at You Jing’s eyes and frowned slightly.

’Based on the intuition from my Healing Ability, the cloudiness in You Jing’s eyes doesn’t look like she cried herself blind. It looks more like she was poisoned!’

Wei Cang glanced over, assuming the young female was disgusted by the old female’s blindness and slovenly appearance. A faint, sarcastic smile touched his lips. ’Things are about to get lively.’

He lowered his gaze and said helplessly, "Mother, you know how cave assignments work in the Eagle Clan. They’re all based on personal ability and superpower Level."

"I tried my best to hold on to Yin Jiang’s cave for three months, but I couldn’t keep it. Jiang Liao took it."

You Jing said angrily, "Jiang Liao? Isn’t he that Cuckoo Beastman who’s friends with Zhu Bang? He’s not even an Eagle Falcon Beastman. All he does is grow wings and pretend to be a fierce bird of prey. What right does he have to live in my Jiang’er’s old cave?"

"He’s only living there because Zhu Bang is backing him. It’s a slap in your face..."

"This won’t do. Now that Jiang’er is back, you have to kick him out. That cave was left by Jiang’er’s Father. It’s spacious, bright, and deep, and it’s well-insulated against the cold in winter."

"Jiang’er has a young female now. We have to do everything we can to help them..."

Wei Cang said with difficulty, "Well... Mother, there’s a specific process for assigning caves, and it’s based on the biannual hunts. Yin Jiang came back too late and missed this one. As the Clan Leader, I can’t show favoritism to Yin Jiang in such a major matter."

Yin Jiang said flatly, "Third Uncle, don’t put yourself in a difficult position. I just brought Shuo’er to see Grandma. We’ll be leaving in a day or two."

"Why are you leaving again?" You Jing hurriedly grabbed Yin Jiang’s hand. "Jiang’er, I know you must resent us for not rescuing you, for letting you suffer so much, right?"

"After you were taken, your Third Uncle was sick with worry. He took people out time and time again to find news of you. He wanted to snatch you back, but you know how much the Winged Dragon Young Master hated you. He had you under tight guard."

"He said that if your Third Uncle tried to rescue you one more time, he would tear off one of your wings..."

Wei Cang sighed along with her. "I originally thought Chu Ming had some sense of proportion. I thought he’d be wary of the fact that you’re the Young Master of the Eagle Clan and was just trying to scare us with words. Who would have thought he’d actually rip off both your wings."

"We didn’t dare act rashly again. We... we could only pray that you would stay alive."

Yin Jiang didn’t want to talk about the past. His expression turned cold. "It’s all in the past. Chu Ming is dead, and I’ve been reborn and have my own little family now."

"From the moment of my sky burial, I had already returned this life to the Eagle Falcon Clan."

Wiping her tears and beating her chest, You Jing said, "It’s all my fault, this old bag of bones. Why is my old life so precious? I should have just bashed my head in and died when I was captured. Then my outstanding grandson wouldn’t have been left to wander outside."

"You are a member of the Eagle Falcon Clan. This rebirth is a gift from the Beast God to our people. How can you cut ties with the clan?"

"Is it because you hate your Grandma and your Third Uncle?"

Yin Jiang pressed his lips together. "No."

"If not, then why are you still..."

Si Shuo interrupted You Jing with a light laugh. "Grandma, hello. My name is Si Shuo. I’m Yin Jiang’s female."

You Jing "looked" toward the source of the voice and said coolly, "Oh, Si Shuo Divine Female. I’ve heard about you. Thank you for taking in my Jiang’er."

"It’s just that we of the Eagle Falcon Clan have our pride. Even after finding a young female, our beastmen stay in the clan as much as possible. It’s rare for one to follow a young female and live with her Couple Brothers."

"Jiang’er is a filial child. His roots are here. How could he just sever them like that? Si Shuo Divine Female, if you pity the two of us, grandmother and grandson, why don’t you live here with him? At least stay until you’ve given him a cub, then you can leave. Even though I’m blind, I can still help you look after the cub..."

"Grandma," Yin Jiang cut in hastily, "please don’t say any more. I chose to follow Shuo’er. My rebirth was inspired by Shuo’er. Without her, there would be no complete me after my breakthrough."

"Grandma, my mind is made up. If you don’t like us, then we just won’t visit. I’ve done a lot for the Eagle Falcon Clan. Now that I have my own little family, I just want to live my life with Shuo’er."

"If you still acknowledge me as your grandson, I’ll come see you often every year. But I don’t want to get involved in anything else."

You Jing froze, turning her head toward Yin Jiang in disbelief. She shook her head. "You... you’re not the Jiang’er I’ve been dreaming of day and night. He would never leave the Eagle Falcon Clan, no matter what. He would never ignore the safety of so many of our people."

"Grandma, I’m just an ordinary member of the Eagle Falcon Clan. I can’t bear the responsibility for the entire clan’s safety. That’s Third Uncle’s duty." A flash of disappointment and relief crossed Yin Jiang’s face. "Please get some rest. I’ll come see you again next year when I have time."

With that, he took Si Shuo’s hand and left.

"Jiang’er! Jiang’er, come back!" You Jing snapped out of it. Completely forgetting she was at the mouth of the cave, she ran to chase after him, missed a step, and fell from the platform.

Wei Cang’s expression changed. He transformed into a Hunting Falcon and caught her halfway down the mountainside, roaring, "Yin Jiang, your Grandma has been waiting for you to come back every single day! And now that you have a young female, you don’t even care that your own grandmother almost fell to her death?"

Yin Jiang’s face was cold, and he didn’t look back. But Si Shuo patted his arm. "Let’s go back!"

"Shuo’er, she doesn’t like you. I traded my life for a life, repaid them for raising me. You don’t have to put up with this for my sake," Yin Jiang said, reluctant.

He didn’t mind suffering a little himself, but he couldn’t bear to see her suffer with him for no reason.

"Who said I’m going back to suck up to them? I just can’t stand how they keep trying to guilt-trip you, one moment labeling you unfilial, the next heartless and cruel." Si Shuo stroked his head. "Yin Jiang, you never had anyone to truly protect you before, so you always stayed silent. You never argued, just let them say what they wanted, swallowing all the pain and grievances by yourself."

"But you have me now. I’ll be your voice and argue back for you! I can’t even bear to say a harsh word to you, so how dare they?"

Yin Jiang smiled and hummed in agreement. He flew back with her, stopping about five *zhang* away from Wei Cang.

"Clan Leader Wei Cang, weren’t your words just now a bit too harsh? You were right next to Grandma. You watched her fall. Are you a little disappointed that everyone was watching, forcing you to fly out and catch her?"

"What does this have to do with my Yin Jiang? He suffered so much to save your mother’s life. Have you ever once said ’thank you’ to him?"

"Let me put it this way: Yin Jiang lost all hope in you a long time ago. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have severed ties with you when he was captured."

"Do you really think he did it because he didn’t want to drag you down with him? He was simply disheartened and used his life to trade for his freedom!"

"His rebirth was given by me. I’m the only one who gets to make him upset. You have nothing to do with him anymore, so before you speak, you’d better think long and hard about whether you even have the right."
