Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 99 - 98: After All, I’m the Rogue Beast

How could Ji Liang dare say anything more? He hurriedly pulled the little female into his arms and coaxed, "Shuoshuo, it’s my fault.

You know what I’m like. Back when I led the Traveling Merchant Team, I was cunning and selfish to my very core. I value my own life above all else!

Besides, now I have you. Isn’t it wonderful just holding our Little Shushu? I have to stay alive to protect you.

If I’m dead, everything else is just empty talk."

Si Shuo nodded repeatedly. "That’s exactly right. Nothing is more important than your life. You only live once, so don’t you dare leave anything to chance."

Ji Liang smiled and agreed.

Xu Chi washed quickly. By the time he came ashore, he had already wind-dried himself.

After changing into clean Beast Skins, he had just rounded the bushes when an eagerly waiting Si Shuo threw herself into his arms.

Xu Chi held her tightly, gently stroking her back. "Si Shuo, I’m at the Peak of Level 10 now. I feel that after I challenge the hundred-plus Beastmen of the Qingxi Tribe, I should be able to advance steadily to the Eleventh Level, maybe even touch the brink of the Twelfth Level."

Si Shuo bit him crossly. Hearing the man’s muffled grunt, she said, "So you do feel pain? Why aren’t you enduring it this time?"

Xu Chi chuckled, burying his face in her neck. "Because if I make a sound now, Si Shuo’s heart will ache for me. No matter how loudly I cry out on the fighting stage, no one will go any easier on me."

"You seem to have it all figured out now," Si Shuo said as she ruffled his hair into a bird’s nest, only to smooth it back down, unable to bear the mess. "Xu Chi, you have to be okay. I still want to have your cubs."

Overjoyed, Xu Chi swept Si Shuo into his arms and headed for their Beast Skin Bag, whispering in her ear, "Si Shuo, let me show you the Combat Power of the Peak of Level 10!"

Si Shuo was still a little dazed. ’How was she supposed to *see* it?’ As it turned out, she was about to *feel* it firsthand...

After being thoroughly ’comforted’ by the male, Si Shuo was so exhausted she passed out. By the time she woke up, well-rested and comfortable, the sky outside had already turned a dusky yellow.

She turned her head and saw a rather resentful-looking Ji Liang.

Si Shuo gave a sheepish laugh and silently used ’As if in the spring breeze’ on herself, erasing the marks and discomfort from her body.

"I thought Little Shushu’s sweet nothings were all the same, that you just repeated them for each of us. But it turns out your lines are all original," Ji Liang said with a dramatic sigh. "Alas, I’m just a Rogue Beast. I can’t win Little Shushu’s favor, and I’ve never heard you say you want to have my cubs. They say the second-born child is loved by neither Father nor Mother, and it seems the second Beast Husband is the same. I can’t compete with the new favorite, nor can I win against the old love. I’m even more invisible than Xu Chi’s Invisibility Ability..."

But instead of feeling heartbroken or guilty, Si Shuo burrowed into his arms, bursting into laughter at his antics.

Ji Liang couldn’t keep up the act any longer. He held her down for a flurry of kisses, but soon he was the one who couldn’t take it, rubbing against her incessantly. "Little Shushu, when we get to Guangshou City, will you have a cub for me?"

Si Shuo chuckled and wrapped her arms around his waist. "You’re second!"

First or last, it didn’t matter. The little female had given her word, and Ji Liang was completely satisfied.

"Where’s Xu Chi?" Si Shuo asked, biting her lip.

"He went to the fighting rings. Said he wants to strike while the iron’s hot and solidify his new level," Ji Liang said, holding her lazily. "Tomorrow, it’ll be my turn to get on stage and win some glory for our Little Shushu. Are you hungry? What do you want to eat?"

Not only had Xu Chi advanced to become a Level 10 Beastman, but he had also reached the Peak in one fell swoop. Back when he was Level 9, he had managed to escape with his life from an Elephant Beastman who had unleashed his full might.

Now that he had crossed a color level with this upgrade, he was even more fearless. He was no longer on the defensive and could now take the initiative to attack.

Si Shuo wasn’t so worried anymore. Taking her cue from Ji Liang, she started to wonder what to have for dinner!

That’s right, she and Xu Chi had been fooling around all afternoon and had slept right through lunch. She was starving now, and since it was just the two of them eating, she simply took out some steaming braised meat, rice, stir-fried vegetables, and a bowl of almond goat’s milk from her storage space.

After dinner, Si Shuo left the tent. She saw Yimei feeding meat to three little cubs and walked over with a smile.

Yimei was charming and lovely. While not stunningly beautiful, her looks were definitely above average. 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

After taking the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill, her skin had lightened a shade. As the saying goes, a fair complexion can hide many flaws, and Yimei wasn’t plain to begin with. Now, she truly had the air of a Female Saint, causing males to flock to her.

In just the last few moments, two or three males with High-level Combat Power had already walked by, eyeing her from the corner of their eyes.

When Yimei saw Si Shuo, her eyes danced with amusement. She smiled and asked, "Your Xu Chi seems so obedient and considerate. Who knew he was just as formidable in the tent as he is on the fighting ring? He must be why you’re only just getting up now."

Si Shuo’s face flushed slightly as she huffed, "You say that as if your own Beast Husbands go easy on you."

Yimei blushed crimson. After a soft cough, she sat down next to Si Shuo and began to speak excitedly. She said that aside from Zhe Heng, who was away on the spring hunt, the other ten Beastmen in her family had already taken the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill. Never mind the others, the three little ones were already showing signs of wanting to undergo Transformation, a full three to five months earlier than usual!

Her Healing Ability had doubled. Rongxing shot straight from Level 4 to Level 6. Lei Lan went from Level 5 to the Peak of Level 6. Hang He also went from Level 4 to Level 6, and Kouba leaped all the way from Level 5 to the Seventh Level.

Rongzhi, who was at Level 8, was now at the Peak of Level 9, and Pan Zhou smoothly broke through from Level 9 to Level 10 without any pain at all!

And this was just the initial surge, drawing on their accumulated potential after their aptitude was enhanced. The Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill removes chronic and hidden injuries, expels toxins and impurities, and most importantly, it tempers their muscles and bones, vastly improving their natural aptitude.

From now on, their advancements will be much faster and easier than before.

At the very least, the four Beast Husbands she had bonded with from the Luoni Tribe would soon be able to steadily overcome the Level 8 hurdle and reach the average power level of males on the Central Continent.

"My four Beast Husbands—Rongxing, Kouba, and the others—said that since their levels aren’t high, they won’t go on stage just to contribute Crystal Stones and be laughed at. Right now, they want to use the elixir’s lingering effects to go train on the outskirts of the forest and completely stabilize their new levels. They don’t want to waste such a precious elixir.

Who knows, they might even make more progress!

Rongzhi is a Flying Beast. Unlike Pan Zhou, who fights on the rings all day, he wants to go up on stage for a few matches to learn from others and stabilize his new level.

Pan Zhou, on the other hand, is more of a fighter. He wants to do what Xu Chi is doing and challenge all the males of the Qingxi Tribe. He thinks he’ll benefit greatly from the experience, whether he wins or not!"

Si Shuo smiled and nodded. This was something she had always liked about Yimei. She was neither arrogant nor rash, and even her Beast Husbands were level-headed and had a clear understanding of their own place.

The sun had already set, but the commotion near the Beast Skin Bags had only grown louder. Faint shouts could be heard, carried on the cool spring breeze.

They had already seen the excitement, and since their Beast Husbands weren’t in any danger, they decided not to go over and get in the way.

After talking for a while longer, Si Shuo returned to her tent.
