Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children Chapter 206 - 205: Heart Suspended in Mid-air

After dinner, Xiao Cheng was especially eager to wash the dishes. He was practically buzzing with so much energy he looked like he wanted to skip and jump instead of just walk. His fox tail would even pop out from ti to ti to wag smugly. In any case, Si Shuo couldn’t bear to watch.

’How did I end up with a male fox who doesn’t know the first thing about subtlety?’ She covered her blushing face. ’Isn’t this just emphasizing what we’re doing tonight—our bonding—in front of everyone over and over again?! Silly fox!!!!’

The sight made the other males in the house clench their fists, desperately wanting to rip that tail right off! I an, this was a silly kid who was originally fifth in line but got bumped to sixth, and only now was he getting his official status after their female had already borne cubs. How could anyone possibly be envious or jealous? Okay, maybe there was a tiny bit. Which just made them want to punch him even more!

The whole family gathered in the main hall. Gong You placed several Light Ability Balls around the room. Each one could last for fifteen minutes, so he had to replenish them from ti to ti.

The room was as bright as day, and they continued their work engraving the tal Strips.

Including numbers and symbols, there were over three thousand commonly used characters. Si Shuo had been running around outside a lot these past two days, only writing for two hours—a single Beast Hour—at night, so their progress wasn’t fast.

There were still over two thousand more strips to write on and engrave. Everyone worked diligently. Even Wei Ce, who had just joined them, was astonished and full of admiration when he learned what they were doing, and he worked hard to keep pace with his brothers.

Just as Si Shuo finished writing on the two hundred tal Strips Xiao Cheng had ford, he pulled her to her feet.

"Shuo’er, I—I’ll go heat up so water for you! You should go back to the room and rest for a bit," Xiao Cheng said with a smile.

Si Shuo laughed at his goofy earnestness. Not having the heart to dampen his high spirits, she ignored the stares from her other Beast Husbands and simply nodded.

Xiao Cheng imdiately turned and called out to Brother Gong You and Brother Yin Jiang, clearly wanting to borrow their Ti Law, Water Ability, and Fire Ability!

Gong You chuckled. "I’ve already made plans with Ji Liang, Xu Chi, and Yin Jiang. We’re going to the grasslands to milk so cows and goats for our dear cub and the two little ones, and we’ll grab so beef and mutton while we’re at it. No ti."

Yin Jiang nodded. "Xiao Cheng, how about you go in my place? I can heat the bathwater for Shuo’er."

Xiao Cheng’s expression changed. "It’s too much trouble for you brothers to go out and work so late at night. No need, your little brother can handle it himself."

Wei Ce was envious and wanted to go too, but if the four of them left, the only Beast Husbands left at ho would be Zhi Le, himself, and Xiao Cheng.

Zhi Le would be watching the kids, Xiao Cheng would be accompanying Si Shuo, and he’d be left as the sole beast to guard the house!

While Xiao Cheng was busy heating the water, Si Shuo took the opportunity to retrieve a piece of Beast Skin rich in Spiritual Energy from her Suru Space. She cut it into a palm-sized piece, dipped a brush in spirit beast blood, and began to draw a Dust Cleaning Talisman.

It had been five or six days since she received the legacy for the Dust Cleaning Talisman and Defense Talisman, but she hadn’t found a solid block of ti to practice. However, whenever she had a free mont, she would trace the talismans in her mind over and over again.

The talisman seed complex and profound, containing so kind of cosmic law. But after studying it for a long ti, Si Shuo could trace it thirty to fifty tis a day in her mind. With so much repetition, her hand developed muscle mory, and she could sketch it out in a single, fluid stroke without even thinking.

’Drawing a talisman shouldn’t be that hard,’ Si Shuo mused. ’The strokes and structure themselves already contain the rules. For a common talisman like this, as long as I can draw it in one go and control the Spiritual Power within the spirit beast blood to keep it from dispersing, it should work!’

She never slacked on her daily Cultivation howork—whether it was circulating the Spring Breeze Technique while being fed Crystal Stones by her Beast Husbands, practicing replication, or condensing Spirit Plants. As a result, Si Shuo’s control over Spiritual Power was exceptionally precise, and her spiritual power had beco much more stable and robust.

Besides, she had a decent foundation in drawing. Taking a deep breath, Si Shuo held the brush and slowly began to draw on the Beast Skin. She focused on controlling the pressure of her hand to create smooth lines of uniform thickness. At the sa ti, she enveloped the brush tip with her spiritual power to manage the flow of Spiritual Power, all while accounting for its natural tendency to diffuse.

By the ti she was halfway through, the Spiritual Power at the starting point of her stroke had almost completely dissipated!

Si Shuo didn’t need to continue drawing to know it was a failure. She thought for a mont. ’There’s nothing wrong with how I’m drawing the pattern. But the output of Spiritual Power controlled by my spiritual power needs to be front-loaded—more at the beginning and less at the end. Only then will the Spiritual Power be roughly even throughout the entire rune when I’m finished.’

’Hmm, and I also need to devote half of my focus to reducing and monitoring the diffusion of Spiritual Power. That’s the only way to make it adhere more evenly to the Beast Skin...’

With a better solution in mind, Si Shuo tried a few more tis. Just as Xiao Cheng’s water ca to a boil, she successfully drew one!!!

The mont she lifted her brush, the Spiritual Power in the rune connected from end to end, letting out a brilliant flash of light that nearly blinded her cat eyes. When she looked again, the Beast Skin was back to normal, but the rune on it seed to have taken on an ancient and profound quality.

’It should be a success, right?’ Si Shuo thought, uncertain. She put her things away and held up the Beast Skin, admiring it for a few seconds. ’Tsk, look at that uniform pressure, as if it were drawn with a ruler from start to finish. Not even a machine could make such smooth and elegant curves. See? All that effort wasn’t for nothing. In my past life, while I was just killing ti and cultivating my temperant, I was also improving my skills. And at this very mont, it’s all paying off handsoly.’

’How do you use a Dust Cleaning Talisman again?’ Si Shuo paused for a second. ’You’re supposed to... tear it?!’

She didn’t have any talisman paper or spirit red sand. Those two things were quite difficult to make, but they were also a thod for maximizing material use that was suitable for everyone. However, the legacy also included a cruder, more extravagant thod: using Spirit Beast Skin as talisman paper and the blood of a Fierce Beast with superpowers as the ink, just as she had done.

Si Shuo used all her might to tear it. Her hands turned red from the effort, but the Beast Skin remained perfectly intact?! Of course it was intact. Regular Beast Skins were already tough, and this skin from a Fierce Beast with superpowers had been tempered and enhanced countless tis, making it ten, or even dozens of tis, stronger.

Unable to stop herself, she resorted to biting it with her teeth. A cool wave of Spiritual Energy spread from the tips of her fangs throughout her entire body, like being scrubbed clean with a brush. The pleasant sensation made her scalp tingle, and she couldn’t stop a purr from rising in her throat!!??

She had washed up at noon, but the weather was hot, and she had been covered in layer after layer of sweat. The sticky feeling made her wish she could bathe eighteen tis a day.

Now, her whole body felt clean and refreshed. Her pores seed to open up in comfort, and she carried the faint scent of fresh grass. Even her teeth felt cool and her mouth was incredibly fresh. Her clothes were like they had just been washed and dried—brightly colored and wrinkle-free!

Before she could even rejoice in her success, she heard Xiao Cheng’s still-cheerful footsteps as he carried a full bathtub of water into the next room.

She tiptoed over to the stone bed, climbed into the nest lined with a grass mat, and pretended to be asleep!

So, by the ti Xiao Cheng had tempered the water, set out a cloth for drying, and laid out the Beast Skin skirt he had prepared, he entered the room, satisfied, to call his little female for her bath.

But when he entered the room and glanced around, he saw his little female, utterly exhausted, curled up in a ball and fast asleep, her brow slightly furrowed.

Xiao Cheng’s heart got stuck sowhere in his chest, half burning hot and half ice-cold...
