Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 42 - 41: Kitty, Don’t Cry

When had the Beastmen ever experienced such an exhilarating, overwhelming slaughter?

Looking at the bodies of the gray wolves covering the ground, everyone panted heavily. They looked left and right at the people they had fought alongside, the excitement on their faces fading, replaced by the relief and fear of having survived a catastrophe.

Then, a middle-aged male glared at Chu Man. "Female Saint Chu Man, we need an explanation!"

Chu Man was crying in the arms of one of her males. Being called out, she said angrily, "Explain what? You can’t just listen to whatever Si Shuo says and pin this whole gray wolf incident on me."

Ji Liang saw that Si Shuo didn’t have a speck of dirt on her and was even in a good mood, waving at him. He let out a huge sigh of relief and smiled back at her.

He had also heard the whole story just now. He turned and looked coldly at Chu Man. "You said your two Beast Husbands left to catch up with us and join the hunt?

Hiss... We had a Cat-Eagle Beastman scouting the surrounding area, but he never came back. He must have met with a foul end.

Cat-Eagle Beastmen don’t have many natural predators, especially at night. Unless, of course, he was lured down by a Beastman he knew.

Perhaps your two Beast Husbands were injured during their fight with the Cat-Eagle Beastman, leaving them too exhausted to fight off the pack of gray wolves..."

Chu Man gritted her teeth, refusing to admit it. "This is all your speculation. The fact is, you’re all standing here perfectly fine, while my two Beast Husbands are dead.

If they were the ones who attracted the Gray Wolf Beast Group, how could they have been caught so unprepared and ended up dead?

This must be a conspiracy between you and Si Shuo!"

No matter what had happened, the Cat-Eagle Beastman and her two Beast Husbands had been torn apart and devoured by the Gray Wolf Beast Group, leaving no evidence behind.

Ji Liang raised an eyebrow. "The fact is, my Si Shuo saved everyone with a special plant-based potion, and we also gained the pelts, meat, tendons, and bones of so many Wolf Beasts.

And your two Beast Husbands died, and the scent of their blood attracted the Gray Wolf Beast Group."

The other Beastmen chimed in angrily, "That’s right! When we’re on the road, who has time to be so picky? A simple meal is enough. But they were afraid of not getting enough to eat and sent two males out to hunt... So what if their Combat Power was high? They still ended up as food for the Wolf Beasts, didn’t they?"

"Don’t think that just because my eyesight is bad at night, I’m also deaf and can’t smell! The direction those two males went wasn’t the same as the hunting party’s at all!"

"Poor Yun was helping us scout the area, only to be lured to his death by those vicious Beastmen..."

"We don’t dare travel with you anymore! We’re afraid we’ll get ambushed by a pack of Wild Beasts in our sleep..."

"Right, we can’t travel together. Otherwise, once we get to Nanye City, we won’t be able to keep our mouths shut."

Chu Man’s face flushed with shame and anger at their words. It was a fact that her two Beast Husbands had died and their blood had attracted the pack of Wolf Beasts. It was something she couldn’t argue her way out of.

Besides, her Beast Husbands knew exactly what the truth was.

After venting their anger, the males buried themselves in the work of cleaning up the corpses of the big-tailed gray wolves. The females were also furious, leaving a large, empty space around Chu Man and her Beast Husband.

The Beastmen were well aware that Si Shuo and Xu Chi’s contributions were indispensable to their narrow escape and their ability to slay over a thousand big-tailed gray wolves with minimal casualties.

Several of the group leaders announced that all the big-tailed gray wolves belonged to Si Shuo and her two companions. They offered to help process the pelts, meat, tendons, and bones, and even help transport them to Nanye City.

Si Shuo looked at Xu Chi and Ji Liang.

"Little Shushu, you were the hero of this battle against the Gray Wolf Beast Group. Just say what’s on your mind," Ji Liang said with a soft laugh. His little female truly gave him one surprise after another.

Even if he had been there and joined forces with Xu Chi, they couldn’t have achieved this with so few casualties.

Xu Chi nodded as well. "Si Shuo, you decide."

Only then did Si Shuo smile and say to the leaders, "Everyone put in the effort during the fight with the Gray Wolf Beast Group. I’ll take half, and you can all divide the rest among yourselves."

After some back-and-forth, everyone was very satisfied with this outcome.

The wolf meat was a chewy red meat. When cut into small pieces, skewered, and roasted with oil, salt, chili, and cumin powder, it tasted quite good.

The next day, the Beastmen got up before dawn to pack and get back on the road. They specifically demanded that Chu Man’s party depart one Beast Hour after the main group.

「Two days later.」

Si Shuo gazed into the distance at the tall, sprawling city walls, her heart filled with excitement and joy. Last night, she had received a drawing from Zhi Le, and it depicted this very scene!

Sure enough, before they could get any closer, a swift Snow Leopard, moving as fast as a flash of light, rushed toward them.

"Zhi Le!" Si Shuo jumped down from Ji Liang’s back, waving on her tiptoes.

The Snow Leopard ran up to her and transformed into a handsome young man. He pulled her into a tight embrace, burying his face in the crook of her neck. Inhaling his little female’s sweet scent, he couldn’t resist giving her a gentle bite, his voice filled with joy and contentment. "Kitty, I finally found you!"

Tears streamed down Si Shuo’s face. "Zhi Le, I missed you so much. So, so much."

He was the first male to be kind to her after she was reborn, and he was also her Beast Husband.

In the half a month or so they had spent together, he had become her anchor in the Beast World Continent.

Even while he was away on the spring hunt, looking at the Beast Mark on her wrist still made Si Shuo feel incredibly secure!

"Kitty, don’t cry. It’s my fault. I’ll never leave you alone again." For the past few days, Zhi Le hadn’t dared to close his eyes, traveling day and night, his heart tormented by anxiety and self-blame.

Only when he held his little female in his arms did he truly feel her presence.

Hearing the sob in his voice, Si Shuo quickly patted his back. "Zhi Le, I’m okay. See? I’m perfectly fine, aren’t I?"

Zhi Le slowly released her. Seeing that there wasn’t a trace of gloom on his little female’s face and that her smile was much brighter than before, he smiled back.

He shifted his gaze to Ji Liang and Xu Chi, his jaw tight as he nodded at them. "Thank you."

Ji Liang scoffed. "No need, Zhi Le. Little Shushu is my little female too. It’s only natural that I protect her."

Xu Chi said coolly, "Si Shuo is the female the Beast God bestowed upon me. I will not allow her to be harmed."

Si Shuo tugged Zhi Le’s arm down. "Zhi Le, Zhi Le, I’m hungry. Let’s go into the city, okay? I want to eat seafood!"

Grilled squid, spicy crawfish, stir-fried clams, braised ribbonfish... Just thinking of these dishes made Si Shuo’s mouth water and her eyes sparkle. She looked exactly like a little greedy cat.

The tense, confrontational atmosphere between the three males was instantly broken.

Zhi Le chuckled and lovingly ruffled her hair. He transformed into a Snow Leopard and lay down beside her, his eyes looking at her with gentle warmth.

Si Shuo cheerfully pounced on him. Although Ji Liang’s snake form was cool and smooth, she loved snuggling with leopards too!

Once she was settled securely on his back, Zhi Le carried her as he dashed toward the city.

Ji Liang and Xu Chi exchanged a look. Ji Liang sighed with a hint of jealousy, "They say people forget their old loves when they find a new one. In our little female’s heart, Zhi Le is probably more important than the two of us combined."

A look of deeper yearning appeared on Xu Chi’s cool face. "Si Shuo is just good to her Beast Husbands."

Both of them couldn’t help but smile, and they hurried to catch up!
