Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 65 - 64: A Beast Is Getting a Little Anxious

Chapter 65: Chapter 64: A Beast Is Getting a Little Anxious

Si Shuo linked arms with her as they walked out, offering some experienced advice. "In that case, you have to go check out the Beast Fighting Arena. A lot of Beastmen with high Combat Power go there to show off their strength.

"But besides Combat Power, you also have to assess their character."

Even with the constraints of the Beast Mark, a Beastman’s personality and character were important. They influenced what was passed down to your children and how they would navigate the world later on—all of which was crucial for survival.

Yimei listened intently, then said with a smile, "Okay. Once I find one, I’ll bring him to you first, Si Shuo."

Si Shuo quickly shook her head. ’That won’t do at all! You’re the one choosing a Beast Husband, not me!’ "You’re the one who will be living with them," she said. "Choosing a Beast Husband is more about feeling a connection."

Gong You, however, offered a suggestion. "During my years defending the fighting rings in Nanye City, I got to know a lot of Beastmen with decent influence and good character. One of them has the most exceptional Combat Power, but his face is scarred, and he’s an albino ape beast from Panzhou. He isn’t very popular with the females and has been unchosen for two years now."

Yimei grew a little nervous. "Si Shuo, a Level 9 beastman... would he really choose me? And would he bully my other Beast Husbands?"

Hearing her concern, her four Beast Husbands—who had been both overjoyed at her becoming a Female Saint and anxious about their own futures—broke into smiles.

Si Shuo couldn’t help but laugh. "Weren’t you the one who told me to stay out of it and let the Beast Husbands sort things out themselves? They’re all your Beast Husbands, and they genuinely want what’s best for you. They won’t take things too far."

Yimei nodded. "Then I’ll go take a look!"

Ji Liang pinched the nape of Si Shuo’s neck, pulling her closer. "Little Shushu, some people have started forming a Traveling Merchant Team to head to the Central Continent. Should we go take a look?"

’Hiss... It was one thing to compete for favor with his own Couple Brothers. At least they were all protecting their little female together. But now there was another female stealing most of her attention, and that was enough to make a beastman anxious!’

Si Shuo hummed in agreement, then turned to Yimei. "Yimei, you’re a Female Saint now, and Nanye City has assigned you guards. No one can force you to accept them as a Beast Husband.

"Choose carefully. Don’t just focus on Combat Power. Evaluate them on multiple fronts, and listen to your other Beast Husbands’ opinions too.

"I’m going to check on the Traveling Merchant Teams first. Once we’ve picked a team, we should be able to set a departure date.

"Then we can gather some more food, and it’ll be time to hit the road."

Yimei agreed with a smile, waved goodbye, and led her Beast Husbands and guards toward the Beast Fighting Arena.

Seeing this, many male beastmen hurried to follow, hoping to show off their skills in front of the new Little Saint Female.

Si Shuo sat atop Ji Liang’s head, with Gong You and Xu Chi following behind. Together, they headed for the workshop in the eastern part of Nanye City, a gathering place for all the Traveling Merchant Teams coming and going.

Many lone Beastmen would pay Crystal Stones to travel with a Traveling Merchant Team back to their tribe or to some other destination. Others would hire them to deliver goods.

As soon as they reached the entrance to the workshop, many Beastmen happily greeted Ji Liang. "Master Ji Liang, you’re here! I heard you’re not leading your team anymore, that you found a little female to protect. Is this your little female? She’s gorgeous..."

"Master Ji Liang has always had good taste. Who would’ve thought a female Mutated Cat Beast would be chosen by the Beast God to become a Female Saint..."

"Master Ji Liang, what brings you here?"

Ji Liang smiled and replied to each of them, talking with people almost the entire way. It was clear just how popular he was!

Si Shuo watched with a wide smile, seeing a side of Ji Liang so different from his usual lazy demeanor. Her heart swelled with pride. ’This is my Beast Husband.’

Ji Liang walked up to a large stone house, and a leader from inside came out to greet them with a hearty laugh. "Ji Liang, long time no see! Hello, Female Saint Si Shuo. And hello to you, Gong You and Xu Chi."

Ji Liang and Gong You were both well-known in Nanye City, and now that Si Shuo was a Female Saint, Xu Chi had also become a familiar face to everyone by association.

After setting Si Shuo down, Ji Liang shifted into his human form and wrapped an arm around her waist. He smiled and made the introduction. "This is the Golden Tiger Beastman, Xu Lie, leader of the Dongzhou Merchant Team. I was part of his team for three beast-years before I left to form Dark Crow. You could say Xu Lie is something of a mentor to me."

Si Shuo, Gong You, and Xu Chi all greeted Master Xu.

Xu Lie waved his hand dismissively. "Don’t say that, don’t say that. Ji Liang’s Dark Crow is far more famous than our Dongzhou Merchant Team." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He invited them into the stone house to sit and talk, where a Beastman had already served them platters of fruit, dried fruit, pastries, and tea.

Ji Liang whispered in Si Shuo’s ear, "This is the standard for how refined households in the Central Continent treat their honored guests."

Si Shuo nodded, a glimmer in her eyes. ’System, are there other transmigrators on the Beast World Continent?’

System: "Host, you can rest assured that there are none. The vast universe is divided into greater worlds. Each greater world contains a thousand middle worlds, and each middle world contains a thousand small worlds. There are more than enough for every lucky Host to have a small world to themselves. Too many transmigrators would destroy the stability of the plane."

Si Shuo immediately relaxed. ’As long as there are no other transmigrators like me, I can attribute all of my skills to the Beast God!’

Once the pleasantries were exchanged, Ji Liang stated their purpose. "Master Xu, we would like to travel with your Dongzhou Merchant Team to the Central Continent."

Xu Lie wasn’t surprised. Many Female Saints thought about settling down in the Central Continent after recruiting powerful Beast Husbands.

After all, the living conditions there were much better. Beastmen could be self-sufficient through farming, raising livestock, crafting, and commerce. They wouldn’t have to constantly risk their lives fighting Fierce Beasts in the forest or live in a state of perpetual fear.

What’s more, the Beastmen in the Central Continent had higher Levels—the strongest had even reached Level 15!

Females are naturally drawn to the strong, so of course they’d want to recruit a Beast Husband with a Combat Power Level in the double digits to show off their own appeal.

"Ji Liang, have you all thought this through?

"You know the deal. You’ll travel with us to the Central Continent, but you’ll be responsible for your own food, lodging, and other necessities on the road. If we run into danger, we’ll help if we’re able, but if we’re not, you’ll be on your own.

"Just because we’ve traveled this route many times doesn’t guarantee you a safe arrival. Besides, the Central Continent isn’t the paradise everyone makes it out to be.

"Over there, Beastmen care far more about Combat Power Level, family and tribal affiliation, and even a beastman’s species. The hierarchy is rigid, with a heavy emphasis on heritage and bloodline. It’s incredibly difficult for beastmen from our region to gain a foothold.

"After all, every major family and tribe there supports several Female Saints of their own, and even their ordinary females have average or above-average fertility.

"A Female Saint who is revered here won’t receive nearly the same treatment over there.

"Worse, if they take a fancy to a female, they’ll force her to join their family or tribe, and her original Beast Husbands will be forced to break their bonds with her!"

Rather than speaking to Ji Liang, Xu Lie was really issuing a stark warning to Si Shuo and her companions. He was making them understand that traveling to the Central Continent was no simple affair—the problems they would have to face were numerous.
