Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 59 - 58: A Case of Too Many Brains

Gong You burst out laughing at her serious expression. He nodded repeatedly. "Alright, I promise you I’ll hold the standard for your Beast Husbands at Level Eleven or Twelve. How’s that?" 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

He didn’t dare to be too boastful. He had only just advanced to Level 10 yesterday and hadn’t yet consolidated his new power, so he wasn’t sure what the maximum Level of a Beastman he could fight was. But fighting a Beastman one or two Levels higher than him wouldn’t be difficult!

Only then did Si Shuo curl her lips in satisfaction. Before she could say anything, a male with his hair tied in small braids spoke up from the side. "In that case, I’d like to issue a challenge."

Having been in Nanye City for a few days, Si Shuo had learned that while the city was near the sea, there weren’t many ferocious Fish Beasts in the vicinity. Most were quite docile.

Since the environment wasn’t particularly harsh, the Fish Beasts’ Levels weren’t very high. The strongest was the City Lord, a Level 12 White Shark Beastman!

That was why Si Shuo had stated her criteria for choosing a mate so clearly to Gong You. She believed that in all of Nanye City, she wouldn’t have to accept another Beast Husband.

’But this male—with his wide-set eyes, dark under-eye circles, and towering a head above everyone else—why was he trying to butt in?’

Zhi Le narrowed his eyes and asked Guard Captain Sheng Gao, "Captain Sheng Gao, do you recognize this male?"

Sheng Gao nodded and said in a low voice, "That’s Juzhang Yujie, who just arrived from the Deep Sea Area a few days ago. He probably heard that with the start of spring, Nanye City has resumed its twice-monthly events for females and wants to choose one for himself.

Since Gong You stopped competing, he’s been the undefeated Beastman in the Beast Fighting Arena for the past four or five days.

He’s a Level 12 Beastman. In his Beast Form, he has eight main tentacles, but each of those is covered in countless smaller ones, nearly a hundred in total. It’s almost impossible to escape once he latches onto you.

He’s also ruthless and cruel. Any Beastman who faces him, even if they beg for mercy, will be crippled.

Many Beastmen with decent Combat Power couldn’t stand to watch and challenged him, but not a single one succeeded. Instead, they were all humiliated.

Some say that even Gong You might not be able to get away unscathed if he fought him. In fact..."

Hearing this, Si Shuo grew nervous. ’Did I just get Gong You into trouble?’

Gong You patted her shoulder and chuckled. "It’s perfect timing. I haven’t had a proper fight since my promotion. This will be good practice. It will give us more confidence when we head to the Central Continent later."

Si Shuo nodded. "Then be careful. If you can’t win, we’ll retreat immediately!"

She had already planned their escape route. Once they mastered Pinyin, they could communicate in the public planting area. In case of danger, they would split up. An enemy couldn’t chase everyone, and just as one of them was about to be caught, they would use Teleportation.

Gong You took her hand, a helpless tone in his voice. "My dear, your Beast Husband hasn’t even started fighting yet, and you’ve already planned my escape route?"

Si Shuo whispered to him, "In any case, I could never bring myself to say that I’d take him as a Beast Husband if you lost. His looks are not at all to my taste."

Gong You raised an eyebrow at her, a smile tugging at his lips. "So I should be thankful I’m handsome enough for you, is that it? Otherwise, no matter how powerful I was, you would’ve rejected me?"

Si Shuo rubbed her nose and said with confidence, "Of course! First impressions between a female and a male are crucial. Weren’t you attracted to my looks when you first saw me, Gong You?"

"Yes, yes, our dear girl has it all figured out," Gong You chimed in playfully. "So from now on, we’ll keep an eye out for handsome, powerful males for you?"

’Ah, her Beast Husbands were all so considerate and magnanimous. Si Shuo didn’t even know how to politely decline.’

Seeing that they were mostly ignoring him, Yu Jie couldn’t stop himself from shouting again, "Si Shuo Divine Female, I want to challenge Gong You to become your Beast Husband!"

Gong You sneered, rolling his wrists as he stepped forward. "What’s this?" he said coolly. "I’ve only been away from the Beast Fighting Arena for a few days, and now any Tom, Dick, or Harry thinks they can come and challenge me?

You’re coveting my female? First, see if you even have the ability to defeat me."

Yu Jie ran a hand over his braided hair and smiled grimly. "Everyone praises your talent and Combat Power, Gong You, but that’s only because you’ve never met me.

Now that we have, a proper contest is inevitable."

He then turned to size up Si Shuo, a filthy look swirling in his eyes. Gong You’s face darkened, and he pulled Si Shuo behind him protectively.

"Tsk. We’re not in the Beast Fighting Arena. There are no protective Arrays, no pesky rules. If my hand slips and Gong You ends up dead or crippled, don’t be too sad, Si Shuo Divine Female.

I’ll be getting rid of a useless piece of trash for you. You should be thanking me!"

Si Shuo laughed, furious. "Yu Jie, is it? Do you think the guards of Nanye City and Mermaid Island are just for show? That they’ll let you brazenly try to steal a Female Saint?

Even if you were to win, I would never accept a belligerent, vicious male of such despicable character!

Whatever you think of my Gong You, he is precious to me, and I won’t tolerate your insults."

A flicker of emotion crossed Gong You’s dark green eyes. The hand behind his back gave hers a gentle squeeze. "Don’t worry, I’ll be fine."

Then, he said in a cold voice, "Let’s take this to the sea, so we don’t disturb the nearby females and cubs."

"Suits me perfectly," Yu Jie laughed. "Later, if you beg for mercy—shouting ’Lord Yu Jie’ and offering to debase yourself into a Male Slave to serve me alongside the Si Shuo Divine Female—I might just spare your life."

At this, everyone in the crowd gasped.

Gong You was exceptionally handsome. Back when he fought in the arena, quite a few powerful males had tried to dominate him. The term "Male Slave" was his berserk button.

On the Beast World Continent, females were scarce. Some males who couldn’t find a mate would... do things... to handsome males, and these victims were called Male Slaves!

Some of the more depraved males liked to take both females and other males.

Gong You’s expression turned so cold it was practically glacial. "Enough talk. If I don’t skin you alive and rip out your tendons today, I’ll never set foot in Nanye City again!"

Yu Jie laughed. "You’re even more beautiful when you’re angry. Tsk, tsk. Si Shuo’s other Beast Husbands are quite handsome too. I look forward to all of you serving me along with Si Sh—"

Before he could finish, Si Shuo, enraged, lifted her Crossbow and fired at him.

Gong You’s eyes flashed. He instantly activated his Space-time Law, causing the bolt of energy from the Crossbow to strike Yu Jie with incredible speed.

The energy penetrated his skin and exploded, severing one of Yu Jie’s arms on the spot!

Yu Jie grunted, his expression turning sinister as he let out an eerie cackle. A new arm rapidly grew from the stump. "Little female, you clearly don’t understand us Octopus Beastmen.

Our regenerative abilities are incredible. What’s more, I have a brain in each of my tentacles, and several hearts.

Trying to kill me with that little toy in your hand? I’m afraid it’s not even enough to tickle me!"

Si Shuo hadn’t been trying to kill him, or she would have aimed for one of his hearts.

She said coldly, "I was just teaching you a lesson in respect. No wonder your thoughts are so twisted. It must be because you have too many brains, each with its own ideas. You can’t even figure out if you like males or females."

At this, she turned to Gong You. "Gong You, go and chop off a few more of his tentacles. His regeneration may be powerful, but the new ones won’t be as perfect or as strong as the originals.

If we don’t beat him until it hurts, until he’s afraid, he’ll think he can run wild in our Nanye City!"
