Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 337 - 336: It’s Still Better When It’s Fresh

Chapter 337: Chapter 336: It’s Still Better When It’s Fresh

Sweet Ring giggled too, rubbing her little head against Si Shuo’s arm. "Mother is the best! My superpower is Curse." After saying this, Sweet Ring watched Si Shuo’s expression carefully, afraid her Mother would find her power repulsive.

Si Shuo was surprised. She remembered how, before the floodwaters had receded, Sweet Ring had swept away those three half-grown Winged Dragon cubs with a tornado just by saying a few words. She couldn’t help but exclaim, "That’s so cool?"

Now it was Sweet Ring’s turn to be stunned. "Mother, you’re not scared? Don’t you think this superpower is... malicious?"

"Of course not. I know our Sweet Ring is a good cub. Even when you use your Skill, it’s just to teach a small lesson. You know your limits, right?" Si Shuo said, smiling as she tapped Sweet Ring on the head. The little one was so small. The longer she looked at her, the less scary she seemed; in fact, she was just exquisitely beautiful.

Sweet Ring pressed her lips together and nodded emphatically. "Mother, I know my limits! I just wanted to scare them. I didn’t mean to really hurt them."

"Yes, as long as you stay true to your heart and don’t let your emotions cause you to lose control and do something you’ll regret, Mother will be at ease." Si Shuo chuckled and added, "In fact, Mother is very proud that our Sweet Ring has the power to protect herself and her siblings from being bullied. I’m overjoyed, so how could I possibly be scared?"

Hearing this, Sweet Ring let out a long sigh of relief and snuggled up against her Mother’s arm. The weight in her heart finally lifted.

Ji Liang stroked Si Shuo’s head, his heart brimming with joy as he watched the two Snake Cubs.

The other cubs had all been listening intently. They crowded around, laughing. "Sweet Ring, does that mean if you see a Wild Beast, you could just say its leg is broken and capture it?" 𝙧𝙚𝙚𝔀𝒆𝓫𝓷𝙤𝓿𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝙤𝓶

"If you run into bad guys, just make them... temporarily blind!"

Sweet Ring smiled, nodding at each of them. She took note of her older brothers’ and sisters’ suggestions, hissing happily.

Once the cubs had settled down, Zhi Le couldn’t help but emphasize again, "Cubs, our family is special. From the moment you were born, your potential has been greater than other cubs, and you all have your own superpowers."

"Because of that, you must be extra careful to protect your own secrets and our family’s secrets. Do you understand?"

The cubs nodded emphatically. Their inherited memories contained tragic stories of entire clans being annihilated for revealing their secrets, so they naturally understood the warning.

Just then, Yin Jiang flew back, his expression impassive.

Si Shuo didn’t ask a thing. She just prepared some food and watched him eat ravenously, her chin propped in her hands.

Yin Jiang loved the feeling of Si Shuo’s eyes on him. It made him feel deeply loved and needed.

"Shuo’er, why didn’t you sleep a little longer?" After finishing his meal and cleaning up, Yin Jiang pulled Si Shuo into the bedroom, rested his head on her shoulder, and asked with a soft chuckle.

’Of course it was because I had something on my mind. I couldn’t sleep soundly.’ "I missed you," she said.

He held her tightly. "Mm, I missed my Shuo’er too. I just went to see Grandma. She really does have a high fever, and her lips are so dry they’re cracked and peeling. I only stayed for a little while."

"Third Uncle said Grandma is old and doesn’t have many years left, that I’m the most filial one, and that for the past six months, Grandma has been delirious on and off, muttering my name... Heh. So now they remember to play the family card?"

"Too bad I’m no longer the fool I once was, the one who held on to some fantasy about them. He can say whatever he wants. It’ll just go in one ear and out the other."

"They asked me to stay for a meal, so I used it as an excuse to leave. Who knows if the food was poisoned? If they dare to harm Grandma, how could they possibly show me any mercy?"

"Yin Jiang, do you need me to take a look at your Grandma?" Si Shuo asked softly.

"It’s fine. Let them make their own trouble," Yin Jiang said flatly. "When they stirred up all this mess, did they not think about the consequences? If we compromise this time, they’ll only be even worse next time."

"Okay, I’ll listen to you. Whatever you say, goes. Just let me know when you need me to step in," Si Shuo said with a soft laugh, kissing his cheek.

Who wouldn’t love such a sweet, gentle, and understanding mate? He smiled and hummed in agreement, placing a hand on her belly. "Have the cubs been bothering you?"

Si Shuo hugged him, amused. "Yin Jiang, even though our cubs have excellent potential and go through Transformation, start talking, and gain superpowers earlier than other cubs... you just planted the seeds this morning. They haven’t even sprouted yet, and you’re asking if they’re causing trouble!"

Yin Jiang cleared his throat. "What would Shuo’er like to eat? I’ll go hunt something for you!"

"I don’t know," Si Shuo said, shaking her head. "I just feel like eating meat."

Yin Jiang remembered that when she was pregnant with the Snake Cubs, Ji Liang had fed her according to the tastes of a Snake Beastman. He knew what to do. "In that case," he said with a smile, "I’ll go out and catch you some more birds and rodents."

Si Shuo tilted her head in confusion. "Didn’t they send over a lot of food last night? I can just eat that."

Yin Jiang ruffled her hair. "After I’m done hunting, you can see what you like best. Fresh is always tastier."

Si Shuo didn’t say anything. Xu Chi had already stored all that meat away; the Sumeru Space was perfectly safe for storage. She just assumed Yin Jiang wanted to experience the thrill of hunting on the plains and providing for his mate, so she smiled and nodded. "Then I’ll wait for you at home."

As Yin Jiang headed out, he called Yuanyuan to join him. "Yuanyuan, since you can transform into a Hunting Falcon, your Father is going to teach you some flying and hunting techniques. It’s a vital survival Skill."

Yuanyuan nodded eagerly. "Yuanyuan wants to learn!"

Yin Jiang smiled and turned to Xue Zhu. "Xue Zhu, want to come with Father and see if we can find some large, flying Wild Beasts?"

Xue Zhu immediately perked up, meowing and nodding enthusiastically. "Yes, yes, yes! Father, take Xue Zhu with you!"

Zhi Le and Wei Ce both smiled and nodded at Yin Jiang in thanks. Yin Jiang smiled back. ’We’re all one family,’ he thought. ’My Couple Brothers and I help each other out, and the cubs are obedient and sensible. It’s all worth it.’

The other cubs looked on with envy, but they knew Uncle Yin Jiang wasn’t going out to play. They could only watch them leave with pitiful expressions.

Gong You chuckled. "He’s about to be a father, after all. He’s starting to think of the cubs in everything he does."

’He sounds so jealous,’ Si Shuo thought, pursing her lips as she sat down next to him. "Well now, who’s this handsome fellow getting all salty?"

Gong You wrapped his arm around her waist. "Your family’s, of course!"

Si Shuo leaned close to his ear and whispered with a laugh, "Gong You, my handsome man, once the cubs are a bit older and we’re settled in Guangshou City, let’s go visit your hometown."

"We can have Tuanzi place a marker there, so even when we’re back in Guangshou City, we can pop back over every now and then."

"The fish and shrimp there are supposed to be amazing, right?"

Gong You had just been feeling touched, the last bit of his jealousy vanishing. His little mate wanted to go home with him to see his ancestral lands.

But it turned out her last sentence was the real point!

"Of course they’re delicious! Arctic shrimp are sweet and snappy, the shellfish are crisp and savory, and there are huge king crabs... so many kinds, all of them delicious," Gong You said, raising an eyebrow and teasingly trying to make her mouth water.

Sure enough, his little mate stared at him with a look of pure longing. "What am I to do, Gong You? I can’t eat Arctic seafood, but I do have an authentic Big Fish Beast from the Arctic right in front of me. I could just take a little nibble!"
