Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children Chapter 352 - 351: Hunkering Down for Winter

A fist-sized fla packed quite a punch, warming up the entire cave.

Sweet Ring hissed happily, "Are you mine?"

The fla tilted its head and, imitating her, spat out a fingernail-sized fla. WHOOSH. ’Little worm, you summoned , so I guess I am, right?’

Si Shuo and the others only heard a whooshing sound like a bellows, but Sweet Ring understood what it ant.

Sweet Ring was a female Snake Beast and wasn’t fond of the harsh winter. It was a good thing she was carrying the Warm Jade; otherwise, she would have either been frozen solid or would have dug a hole with her brother to hibernate.

She adored the little fla. "So, will you burn ?"

The fla’s triangular eyes rolled upward as it whooshed weakly. ’Is that head on your shoulders just for decoration? Have you ever seen a river drown a fish? I’m not so low-level fire that burns everything it touches!’

The two little ones went back and forth for a quarter of an hour. The fla even ford a small hand and waved. WHOOSH. ’Little worm, you still need to practice. Your Storage Spirit is too low, not even enough for to co out for a walk and get so fresh air.’

After the fla disappeared, Sweet Ring smiled and explained everything to her family. "My Curse Superpower is pretty special; it’s a type of summoning, and that’s how I called the little fla. It’s a nearby Earth Fire Spirit. Once I summoned it, it automatically bound itself to as... my spirit pet, I suppose. It’s just that my abilities are limited. I can only keep it out for a quarter of an hour before I can’t sustain it anymore.

"I can summon it a maximum of five tis a day..."

No wonder that fla was so powerful. It had beaten the Level 15 Zhu Bang until he was crying for his mommy.

Now, Zhu Bang’s Dantian had been scorched, destroying most of his cultivation. He was left with only Level 6 cultivation, and he would never be able to improve again!

For the Eagle Clan, a Sixth Level Beastman who couldn’t fly was an outcast. Even survival would beco a struggle for him.

"Shuo, let’s go ho tomorrow, alright?" Yin Jiang took Si Shuo’s hand and chuckled. "We can co back next year when it’s warr. Then I’ll take you flying over the grasslands."

Si Shuo humd in agreent. "Maybe we’ll even get to witness Wei Cang being driven from power! The look on his family’s faces would be a sight to see."

"I’ll let Ren Qiu know, then. I’ll have him inform us promptly," Yin Jiang said with a smile, pulling her into his arms. All their hardships would fade away along with the harsh winter.

「The next day, before dawn」

Yin Jiang said his goodbyes to the mbers of the Eagle Falcon Clan. As for all the spoils from his hunt, he simply stated that he had borrowed a Storage Ring from the Iron-eating Beast Clan.

The Iron-eating Beast Clan had an ancient lineage, so it wasn’t surprising that they possessed a Storage Ring. Moreover, his Couple Brother was the son of their Clan Leader.

Yuanyuan and the Little Golden Eagle tearfully bid each other farewell.

"Brother Bo, you won’t forget , will you?" Yuanyuan, wearing a hat and bundled in thick Beast Skins, looked like a fluffy ball that could roll away. Her lips trembled as big, fat tears welled in her eyes.

Li Bo’s eyes were also red. He patted her head like a little grown-up. "I won’t forget. When spring cos next year, I’ll be bigger. I’ll be able to fly to Guangshou City with the uncles from the clan to co play with you."

"You have to co, then! I’ll be waiting for you!" Yuanyuan held out her pinky to make a promise with Li Bo.

Li Bo nodded vigorously. "I’ll definitely co! I’ll even bring lots of delicious food. You’re my little female, so it’s my responsibility to feed you, too."

Si Shuo listened from the side, amused. ’Childhood sweethearts are so much fun.’

After the goodbyes were over, Yin Jiang flew toward Guangshou City with Si Shuo and Yuanyuan. As soon as they were out of sight, however, Si Shuo used her Teleportation and took Yin Jiang and Yuanyuan to Tuanzi, who had already returned to the valley.

The males had already finished cleaning the cave. Sweet Ring had also summoned her fla to warm the interior, making it toasty and exceptionally comfortable.

"Ah, ho sweet ho," Si Shuo sighed, flopping onto the wooden sofa in the living room, which was draped with thick Beast Skins. The cubs also found their own spots to roll around on.

Xue Zhu had also brought the Snowy Owl along. In this new place, the curious owl darted all over the cave, poking its head around one corner before flying into another cavern to investigate. One mont it would swoop into the valley, the next it would zip back into the cave. ’It really is the husky of the owl world!’

After her al, Si Shuo fell into a deep sleep. When she woke, she found that a heavy snow, with flakes as large as goose feathers, was falling outside. A group of the cubs stood at the cave entrance, unfazed by the cold, tugging on the males’ sleeves and whispering about sothing.

"What are you all talking about?" Si Shuo asked, having wrapped herself up so tightly that only her eyes were visible, with just enough room for her nose and mouth to breathe.

Ji Liang, holding her in his arms, also ca out to see what the commotion was about.

"Mother," Xuyou said with a smile, "I was just telling the Fathers that we should take this chance while it’s snowing to pack down all the snow in the valley. Then we can go ice skating and make ice sculptures!"

"We can’t seriously stay cooped up in the cave all winter, right? That’s not good for your health or your spirits."

Si Shuo’s eyes lit up, and she nodded repeatedly with a smile. "That’s a great idea! We’ll have your Father Xiao Cheng form so ice blades, and we can all go skating."

"We could play curling..."

"Go sledding..."

"And make ice sculptures! We could build a maze, or a playground..."

The males listened with smiles on their faces, watching their little female and the cubs chatter away excitedly.

’When others ntioned the harsh winter, their faces held only endless bitterness and resignation. But their little female and their cubs saw the snowy days as a different kind of treat.’

’Suddenly, they were starting to like the harsh winter a bit, too. Every season had its unique charm. Of course, with the Suru Space and a Storage Ring, they could perfectly preserve everything they hunted without worrying about at spoiling. Plus, they had acquired a large amount of Spiritual Beast at during the Beast Tide in Puchang City.’

’With no worries about food or clothing, and plenty of firewood to keep warm, there was nothing to be anxious about. Naturally, everyone was much more relaxed and cheerful.’

’After being so busy for so long, they could finally get a proper rest!’

Every morning, each of them had their own schedule for studying and Cultivation. Beyond that, their ti was spent either figuring out what to eat for their three als a day or coming up with new ways to have fun.

Si Shuo beca completely addicted to playing Dou Dizhu. However, the males and the cubs were all savvier than the last, so she was always the one with the most penalty strips stuck to her face.

「One day, when Wei Ce was on patrol」

He made a quick trip back to his clan. To his surprise, he found out his Father was still as vigorous as ever—his Mother, Song Ying, was pregnant with a cub.

Upon hearing the news, Si Shuo imdiately prayed to the Beast God, asking for Mother Song Ying to have fraternal twins.

"Mother Song Ying is pregnant, so she can’t eat too much salted jerky," Si Shuo said as she rummaged through her space, pulling out dried fruit, honey, milk powder, and various homade at jerkies. "Brother Ce, take these to them. Good nutrition is important for the cubs to be born healthy and with good potential."

"This is so of the stuff you found for that I haven’t finished eating. It’s perfect as a little gesture from you, the new big brother."

Wei Ce chuckled in agreent. "Once spring arrives, I’ll stock up on even more tasty food for you, Shuo!"

The family spent their days at ho, eating, drinking, and playing in a lively atmosphere, and ti flew by. Si Shuo was sensitive to the cold and wore so many layers inside the cave that her baby bump was barely visible. If the males hadn’t kept such a close eye on her, she would have forgotten she was a pregnant female and would have been causing all sorts of trouble.
