Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 79 - 78: You... Don’t Cry

Hearing her say that, Si Shuo grew nervous and looked from side to side.

There were many Beastmen around. The spring evening wind made the bonfire flicker, blurring the faces of those gathered. It was easy to disappear into the shadows by simply lowering one’s head.

"If you’re so important, how did you escape?"

Xiao Shisi seemed frightened. Si Shuo could even hear her teeth chattering.

’It seems the females in this world are all so timid, especially those without a Beast Husband for protection.’

She whispered, "I’m a female from the Xiao Family. I have a few tricks to save my own life."

To gain Si Shuo’s trust, she pulled a thin stack of three or four leaves from her clothes.

"This is the Xiao Family’s escape Secret Technique. It’s a Magic Artifact refined by the talisman master our clan supports. If you crush a leaf while chanting someone’s name, you can teleport right next to them.

But they can’t be too far away, or it won’t work.

Si Shuo Divine Female, you saved all of Puchang City. You’re a messenger of the Beast God. Surely you wouldn’t want to see me forcibly bonded with a Beast Husband of their choosing, would you?"

Si Shuo tilted her head slightly. "You’re right, I wouldn’t. But I don’t want to bring trouble upon myself, either. Am I just supposed to take your word for everything?

They managed to snatch you from the Xiao Family. What makes you think I can protect you? And for that matter, why should I?"

Xiao Shisi froze, as if she had never considered being refused. The blue-haired beauty’s eyes welled with tears, and the blow left her with a tragic beauty—one of despair and utter brokenness.

Si Shuo’s heart clenched, as if she were the one bullying her. It was so frustrating. "You—don’t cry! I didn’t say I wouldn’t help you..."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Shisi’s shoulders trembled even more as she whimpered,

"Si Shuo Divine Female, you don’t understand. From my room in that tall building, I heard your name. I watched as all those Frenzied Fierce Beasts outside were slaughtered, with not a single one breaking into the city. I thought my chance to go home had finally come.

I’m just a helpless female. If you won’t help me, I truly don’t know who else to turn to."

Si Shuo felt like crying herself. She glanced sideways at Ji Liang. ’I want to help, but what if I’m being deceived? What if I bring trouble upon my Beast Husbands?’

’But if I don’t... watching such a delicate beauty cry is breaking my heart. I almost wish I could become a male and give her a hug...’

Without looking up, Ji Liang said, "I have heard of the Central Continent’s Xiao Family. The clan of the Three-tailed Blue Fox... aren’t they skilled in Charm Techniques?"

Xiao Shisi frantically shook her head, turning a pitiful gaze on Si Shuo. "Si Shuo Divine Female, I haven’t used any Charm Technique on you! I am sincerely asking for your help.

My Father is the Great Elder of the Xiao Family, and my Mother is a Female Saint.

That’s why Mi Xing and the others targeted me. They want to force me to take on several Beast Husbands from Puchang City and bear cubs with high potential.

They think that once I have cubs, I won’t be able to bear dissolving my bond with the Beast Husbands..."

Bonding among Beastmen was always a matter of mutual consent.

"Are Mi Xing and the others really that domineering?" Si Shuo pursed her lips, thinking about how her own Beast Husbands now had one more life-saving Skill. ’At least they won’t be completely helpless when they encounter danger.’

"Mhm, the Southern Continent sends quite a few females to the Central Continent. They even established a Southern Alliance in one of the Central Continent’s Border Cities, all to secure greater benefits there.

Some Female Saints are incredibly domineering and tyrannical. They act one way in the Central Continent and a completely different way when they return. I’m not the first female they’ve abducted, and I definitely won’t be the last..."

Xiao Shisi sat with her head lowered, hugging her knees. Her voice was listless, as if she had already resigned herself to her fate.

Si Shuo’s eyes narrowed. ’So that might be the reason for the high fertility rate among the females in Puchang City.’

However, she had no intention of digging deeper. ’Every place has its secrets. There’s darkness and filth everywhere.’ She still relied on her Beast Husbands for protection. She had only intervened to save Puchang City during the Beast Tide on the condition that she and her husbands could guarantee their own safety.

At that time, they stood with the Beastmen of Puchang City, but if she were to investigate this, she would be treading on the secrets and interests of certain people here.

Puchang City had plenty of Beastmen with Eleventh and Twelfth Level Combat Power, and there were probably others hiding their true strength...

This whole affair, however, served as a reminder. ’It’s best to wait. Later, when we’re stronger, or when this business inevitably comes to light, then I can help fan the flames. That way, I won’t bring a death sentence upon myself and my Beast Husbands!’

Ji Liang handed the roasted meat to Si Shuo, then wrapped an arm around her and kissed her forehead. "If my Little Shushu gets bored on the road, having an extra playmate wouldn’t be so bad.

The Xiao Family of the Central Continent has considerable power and wealth. We can trade her for some benefits later on."

Si Shuo noticed Xiao Shisi’s ears twitch. She leaned closer to Ji Liang and whispered, "Won’t that cause trouble?"

After all, we’re heading to the Central Continent with the Traveling Merchant Team. There are a lot of other females with us, and we were delayed a few days because of the Beast Tide. It’s highly likely we’ll end up traveling with the group from Puchang City."

Ji Liang raised an eyebrow. "We can just stuff her somewhere out of sight. If she wants to get back to the Central Continent, she’ll have to make some sacrifices, won’t she?"

Xiao Shisi nodded eagerly, saying in a particularly docile tone, "Si Shuo Divine Female, I can do it! As long as I can escape this place and avoid being forcibly bonded, I’ll do anything you ask.

What’s a few months of being cooped up in a basket? I’ll just sleep more. Besides, when you’re on the road, don’t you also just sit the entire way, Divine Female Si Shuo?"

Si Shuo pursed her lips. "So, we’ll take her with us?"

Ji Liang grunted in affirmation. "Mi Xing and the others moved heaven and earth but still couldn’t win her over.

We can’t just throw away an opportunity to connect with the Xiao Family that’s landed right in our lap, can we?

Call Zhi Le over to take her back to our place. Then we can get back to our roasted meat."

Si Shuo hummed in agreement. After entering the tent, she rubbed the Snow Leopard Beast Mark on her wrist. Just five seconds later, Zhi Le appeared out of thin air, hugging and kissing her.

"Did my kitty miss me?"

Si Shuo chuckled and hugged him back, then explained the situation with Xiao Shisi.

Zhi Le raised an eyebrow, giving her a strange look. "A Three-tailed Blue Fox female?"

Si Shuo nodded. "What? Is there a problem?"

Zhi Le smiled and shook his head. "No problem. If Ji Liang agreed, it must not be a big deal. I’ll take her back with me."

Seeing Zhi Le emerge from the tent with Si Shuo, Xiao Shisi was stunned for a moment. Her gaze on Si Shuo grew even more fervent!

Ji Liang calmly explained, "It’s a Teleportation Ability, a reward from the Beast God."

Xiao Shisi smiled softly, her lips pursed. "Si Shuo Divine Female is as kind as she is beautiful. After saving so many Beastmen in Puchang City, she certainly deserves such a reward."

As she watched Zhi Le and Xiao Shisi leave, one after the other, Si Shuo realized that Zhi Le was on the taller side for a Beastman. And Beauty Xiao wasn’t short, either—she was a full head taller than the tallest female Si Shuo had ever seen!

Ji Liang turned her face back toward him and grinned. "Hiss... Now that the eyesore is gone, let’s get back to our roasted meat!"

Si Shuo took a bite of the fragrant, tender roasted meat and put the matter out of her mind for the time being.

That night, the two of them spent the night together in the tent...
