Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 386 - 385: Fellow Sufferers

This little female was openly scorning their cub for being big for nothing. He had cultivation, yet he couldn’t even beat a cub who was less than a year old and hadn’t undergone Transformation.

The Hippo Beastman’s expression darkened. He glanced at the green Level 1 Beast Pattern on Zhi Le’s neck and sneered, "That’s right, we can’t interfere in the cubs’ affairs. So how about you and I have a go?"

Si Shuo couldn’t help but laugh. "Zhi Le, he’s a Hippo Beastman, isn’t he? Is he also from the Qingxi Tribe? He must see that your Level is low and think he has a good chance of winning. Is he trying to get even for his cub?"

The Hippo Beastman snorted. "So what if I am? Scared? The Qingxi Tribe has always been known for its formidable Combat Power."

"That’s right! My Father is amazing, he has a Peak level 12 Cultivation! When you’re fighting Wild Beasts in the wilderness, they don’t care how high your Level is! Just tell us if you dare to fight or not.

If you don’t dare, then you have to give your three Snow Leopard cubs to my sister to be her Beast Husbands..." The little hippo cub raised his chin smugly, but before he could finish, Brother Xue spat a hailstone at him. It was so fast that even his Father couldn’t stop it. The little hippo cub’s nose was broken, and blood dripped down. The scent of blood agitated the surrounding Beastmen, making them irritable.

"Oh, dear. Children have poor emotional control. Please be patient with him," Si Shuo said with a gentle smile. "If you really can’t let it go, you can have your cub hit him back. As for whether your cub will be the one getting hit instead... well, that’s another story."

The little female parrot cub was so angry her feathers bristled. They were always the ones picking on others; when had they ever been wronged like this? "I see you’re just too scared to accept the challenge! My Father Beibai is really powerful, and I have another Father who’s a Little General in the East City District!"

Xue Zhu had just wrapped her head around the fact that the Wild Beast she’d contracted had turned into a Snowy Owl cub. With her Father and Mother there, she was full of confidence and retorted, "So what? Within Beast City’s jurisdiction, you can’t fight unless the other party accepts the challenge. My Father isn’t accepting, so you can just stay mad!"

’How shameless!’ The little female parrot cub was stunned. ’Shouldn’t a male with any backbone accept the challenge to look tough in front of a female, even if he knows he’ll lose?’

"Then you all belong to me now. You’re my Beast Husbands. But I’m angry now, so I won’t let any of you be my first Beast Husband," she said huffily.

Xue Zhu rolled her eyes. "Says who? You can’t even beat us! I’ll make you so mad, so mad, I won’t make you mad..."

The little female parrot cub was indeed about to die of anger. "%￥%...￥@..." She started squawking angry gibberish. ’My head is too small,’ she thought. ’Why do "make you so mad" and "won’t make you mad" mean the same thing?’

Just then, Wei Ce also hurried over. He stood beside Si Shuo and saw her smiling brightly, not looking at all like she’d been upset. Aside from their own cubs being so filthy they were an unrecognizable mess, nothing seemed seriously wrong. Only then did he turn to the opposing group with a cold, grim face. "What exactly happened here? Were our cubs being bullied?"

Two cyan Beast Patterns... ’Is that a Level 14 Beastman?’ Even though Wei Ce didn’t release his oppressive aura, he didn’t bother to conceal the powerful presence that belonged to an expert.

The group that had been so arrogant and aggressive just moments ago was now completely silent—a classic case of bullying the weak and fearing the strong.

Xue Zhu also puffed out her chest and raised her head. "What a coincidence! My Father is a Vice Admiral! A higher rank can crush you flat. So I’ll ask you, are you scared now!" 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Si Shuo struggled to hold back her laughter. ’Oh my, isn’t my little female cub just a perfect example of a fox borrowing the tiger’s might?’

"Lord Wei Ce?" Who else could a young, Level 14 Vice Admiral be but Wei Ce? "It’s nothing, the cubs were just playing around. Please, don’t let us keep you..."

After leaving this hasty remark, the group left as fast as their legs could carry them, some dragging their cubs, others carrying them. The little female parrot cub squawked a few very foul bird-words before someone clamped a hand over her beak and carried her away.

"How boring," Xueqiu pouted. "They relentlessly belittle and bully anyone weaker than them, but the moment they meet someone stronger, they run faster than a rabbit!"

The grey rabbit, Hua Shi, really wanted to say that he hadn’t run—his legs had been too wobbly to move...

However, Si Shuo and the cubs all turned to look at Brother Xue. "How are you a Beastman? You couldn’t transform or talk before!"

Brother Xue shifted uncomfortably under their stares. He wanted to shrink behind Xue Zhu, but the little female cub was too small to hide his frame. Besides, Xue Zhu wanted to know too, her grey-blue eyes filled with a thirst for knowledge.

"Before," Brother Xue began, stuttering, "my Father died. My Mother... she threw me into a nest of Snowy Owl Wild Beasts. I was raised by Wild Beasts, so I never learned to talk, and I never transformed into my human form.

Before I transformed, I also thought I was a Wild Beast."

Xue Zhu happily pounced on Brother Xue’s leg, grabbing it and grinning. "Xue Zhu has a child husband now, too!"

But Brother Xue just grinned, scooping Xue Zhu into his arms and nodding emphatically. "Okay! Brother Xue will work hard on his Cultivation and become Xue Zhu’s first Beast Husband!"

That one sentence made Zhi Le’s face turn thunderously black. ’What the hell?’ With a grim expression, he picked up the filthy Xue Zhu. "You’re just a little cub. What are you doing, thinking about these things already?"

Xue Zhu, completely oblivious to her Father’s displeasure, just kept smiling. "That’s why he’s a child husband! Second Sister has a child husband, and now Xue Zhu has one too.

Father, you have to train Brother Xue well and make him powerful, so you can feel at ease entrusting me to him.

After all, I have a contract with Brother Xue. He’s my contracted beast. Isn’t this what they call ’keeping the good stuff in the family’?"

’Is this little female cub using a ready-made excuse to fob me off?’ Zhi Le couldn’t even find a reason to refuse.

Wei Ce also laughed and clapped Zhi Le on the shoulder. "That’s right. You have to train a son-in-law from a young age. Train him ruthlessly." The two of them were in the same boat, but at this moment, Wei Ce was clearly gloating.

Si Shuo was just enjoying the show. ’The younger generation will have its own destiny,’ she thought. ’Everyone has their own fate.’ Besides, with the Beast Mark as a safeguard, she wasn’t worried about her female cubs taking husbands. Her male cubs, on the other hand... ’I just hope they don’t get lured away by some cunning little female!’

By now, Wei Ce had finished his patrol, so the family started heading home. The cubs were impossibly filthy.

Zhi Le was disgusted by their state, but with so many people watching, they couldn’t use a Dust Cleaning Talisman. So, he carried Si Shuo on his back, the Snowy Owl carried Xue Zhu, and Xueqiu and Xue Bao ran back on their own, turning it into a good training run.

Back home, Xue Zhu showed off her new child husband to her brothers and sisters.

When the males and the other cubs learned that Brother Xue was a Beastman, they were equally incredulous. To think she had casually brought home a Snowy Owl that turned out to be a Beastman—they could find no other explanation for it than the will of the Beast God.

After a journey of mental preparation, Zhi Le came to understand that taking Beast Husbands was a matter for a female cub to decide. As her Father, he couldn’t interfere, though he could at most provide some support. Besides, Brother Xue genuinely cared for Xue Zhu and was fiercely protective of her—so much so that he had even been forced into his human form.

He was already drawing up a complete training plan in his mind. He would make sure Brother Xue grew into a Beastman who could hold his own as soon as possible!

Wild vegetables were now sprouting, and Zhi Qi returned from the fields with a large bundle. Si Shuo specifically requested wild vegetable and pork buns. They used blanched and diced marbled pork belly, mixed with wild vegetables and glass noodles, and added a bit of spicy bean paste for a fresh, fragrant, and delicious filling. Of the fist-sized buns, Si Shuo herself polished off about ten...
