Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children Chapter 185 - 184: One Shouldn’t Be Too Straightforward

Si Shuo said with a light laugh, "Actually, I’m the one who should be sorry. Have I been neglecting you too much lately?"

Yin Jiang thought for a mont, then shook his head. "It’s not that. The way our family is set up is much better than others. Everyone knows I have a day off every two days, and I’m always there to have dinner with you every night."

"It’s just... Shuo’er, if my situation had been different back then, would you have ever chosen at all?"

From Dongye Middle Square to the city, there was no shortage of outstanding males. But her Beast Husbands were fiercely protective, and the little female herself was completely devoted to her own mates, never giving anyone else a second glance. The only exception was when soone was in their Beast Form, which might pique her curiosity.

Without their fateful connection, he would have been just like any other high-level male in the city, with no chance of ever becoming part of this little family.

Si Shuo squeezed his fingers. "Yin Jiang, I know you’ve been through a lot and carry many things in your heart. But we have to keep moving forward. There are no ’what ifs’ in life."

"The reality is that you and I are bonded. We chose each other. We’re a family."

"In fact, I sotis wonder... if my Yin Jiang hadn’t suffered all that, he’d surely be the mightiest Warrior on the plains. With so many Female Saints wanting to bond with you, would I have even stood a chance?"

"You would have! I liked you from the first mont I saw you," Yin Jiang said, nodding emphatically. He rembered when they first t. He had been locked in an iron cage, his wings clipped and his Dantian gouged out. Covered in filth with matted hair, he had t his light. ’Even before all that, I would have fallen for her,’ he thought. ’So people, you just know at a glance you want to give them your Beast Mark.’

’He had found her, and he would spend his entire life chasing that light! As long as there was a place for him by her side, it was enough. He shouldn’t be bringing his own issues into this and making things difficult for his little female...’

Si Shuo swayed his arm, then stopped and looked at him seriously before smiling.

"But Yin Jiang, have I ever told you? Before we even t you, as we crossed the vast Dongye Forest from the Southern Continent, we had already decided that we wanted a Flying Beast in our family."

"Our whole family was looking forward to having you. Really. And to go along with your ’what if’ scenario, I would have just had Ji Liang take to find you."

Yin Jiang froze, asking with so difficulty, "I was... wanted? Like Wei Ce? Shuo’er, do you... do you like ?"

"Of course I do! I like you a lot! Yin Jiang is a Hunting Falcon—you’re handso, adorably dorky, you have outstanding Combat Power, and you’re incredibly fast. You tell , what is there about you not to like?"

’In so countries,’ Si Shuo thought, ’people are as passionate about Hunting Falcons as the people of Xia Hua are about their national treasure. For so many to adore them, it just goes to show the charm of the Hunting Falcon.’

Every word from the little female made Yin Jiang’s heart tremble and burn. He tensed his jaw, his gaze fiery as he turned to the side to look at her. "I really like you too, Shuo’er!"

"I know. If you didn’t, would you have co to save in my dreams back when you had a death wish and had given up on your own life?" Si Shuo smiled and beckoned him closer. When he leaned down, she whispered in his ear, "To be honest, my favorite thing was how you were always stopping my words with your mouth in my dreams! It was so domineering, so deep and ardent. I could feel how much you liked , and that’s why I ca to find you."

"In my heart, Yin Jiang is Yin Jiang, an irreplaceable part of my life. So, you can get jealous and wait for to coax you, but you are not allowed to doubt how wonderful you are!"

Yin Jiang couldn’t resist pulling her into a tight hug. "Shuo’er, I don’t even know how to love you enough."

"Then prove it with your skills. Let’s see if you can genuinely accept Wei Ce as part of our family," Si Shuo said, patting his back with a smile.

Yin Jiang nodded emphatically. The knowledge that his little female liked him—even more than he’d dared to hope—filled him with a joy that smoothed his brow and lit up his face. "So I really don’t have to go easy on him?"

"No need. Wei Ce is a Level 14 Beastman, and an Iron-eating Beast with formidable Combat Power. And while your own Combat Power is high, Yin Jiang, you’re a Flying Beast. If he can’t even beat you, then we won’t choose him!"

Yin Jiang found Si Shuo’s feigned indifference amusing. "Are you just afraid that if you plead his case, I’ll end up hitting him even harder?"

Si Shuo shot him a glare. "Yin Jiang, you don’t have to be so blunt. There’s a saying: just because you see through sothing doesn’t an you have to say it out loud."

"Alright, I’ll give it my all," Yin Jiang said. Seeing her brow furrow into an adorable little knot, he pulled her into a tender hug.

Noticing the frequent stares from the people around them, the two exchanged a look, took each other’s hand, and quickly walked away. They took a roundabout path before rejoining Ji Liang and Wei Ce.

Along the way, Si Shuo didn’t forget to send ssages to her other Beast Husbands to ask for their opinions.

They were already ntally prepared, so of course they had no objections. However, they all urged Yin Jiang to "properly vet" the newcor, their words tinged with a hint of gritted teeth!

Yes, anyone with eyes could see it: their little female had a bit of an unnatural soft spot for Iron-eating Beast type Beastn.

Wei Ce was already cracking his knuckles in anticipation. ’I want the White Fox Cub to hold my hand, too!’

"Co on. Let’s go to the Martial Arts Hall for a round," Yin Jiang said, jerking his chin at him with a raised eyebrow.

"Sounds good," Wei Ce said. He glanced at Si Shuo, then gave an emphatic, smiling nod and led the way toward the Martial Arts Hall.

The Martial Arts Hall in this area was quite large. From a distance, they could see a banner with the Beast Text character for "Martial" and a peach emblem. Ji Liang explained to Si Shuo in a low voice, "This is the Martial Arts Hall established by the Mountain Demon Ao Family. In the North City District, while the Mountain Demons’ overall power doesn’t match that of the Iron-eating Beasts, Golden Python Beasts, or Lion Beasts, their Combat Power is still very strong, and they focus on fighting techniques. This Martial Arts Hall is considered one of the best in the entire Central Continent."

Sure enough, as soon as they walked in, they saw a Mountain Demon Beastman at the door greeting custors. He was in his Beast Form, with a large, long head, a pale blue bony ridge on each side of his red nose, and slightly bucked teeth.

Si Shuo glanced at him once before looking away, but a clear image remained in her mind. ’No matter how I look at him, he doesn’t seem very friendly,’ she thought. ’Perhaps I’m just incapable of appreciating Mountain Demon aesthetics.’

Yin Jiang said coolly, "Excuse , could you open up a ring for us? I’d like to spar with this brother here."

The attendant nodded with a smile. "No problem. That will be a hundred Level 6 Crystal Stones..."

Wei Ce’s face fell. He couldn’t help but ask, "Is it that expensive?" His monthly allowance was only one or two hundred Crystal Stones, and he always lent it out before it even had a chance to warm his pockets.

The attendant’s smile faltered. "My friend, you’ve got that wrong. Any Beastman who cos to the Martial Arts Hall to fight in the rings has superpowers."

"If you two fought in the wild without any precautions, you’d send sand and stones flying and tear up the turf. We’re surrounded by other Beastn here; we can’t have everyone’s houses getting shaken to pieces just because you’re having a fight, right?"

"That’s why our Martial Arts Hall has protective Arrays around the rings. As long as it’s not a battle between Level 20 Beastn, it doesn’t matter how much you two tear it up in there; nothing on the outside will be affected!"

"But these Arrays consu a huge amount of Crystal Stones. Charging you one hundred Level 6 Crystal Stones is a bargain. If you think it’s too expensive, you’re perfectly welco to go find an open field outside the city..."
