Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children Chapter 507 - 506: Zhuge Liang Is a Particularly Intelligent
Si Shuo jabbed a finger into his chest angrily. "Xu Chi, you know perfectly well that we would never let you do this alone.
We’re a family, ant to spend the rest of our lives together. As long as I’m alive and well, you are all brothers living under one roof. You’re supposed to help and support each other!
Do you want to break our bond? Or do you want everyone to shut you out and drive a wedge between us?"
Xu Chi grabbed her hand. "A Shuo, this is too dangerous. After they swapped heads, they must be prepared for people like us seeking revenge.
I can’t be arrogant enough to think I can dodge every trap they’ve laid..."
"That’s when your brothers are supposed to show up and play the heroes saving the damsel in distress!" Si Shuo nibbled his finger, applying a little pressure as her eyes grew moist. "Xu Chi, the more Amulets we have, the more terrified I am of losing any of you.
I don’t want so disgusting, old, ugly male using your body, and I certainly don’t want to be the one to stab you with my own two hands."
Xu Chi’s heart had ached seeing her teary eyes, but now he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, when I need help, I promise I won’t hold back in asking for it."
Si Shuo kissed him. "That’s more like it. We all need to work together. If you’re in trouble and don’t reach out to them, it ans you don’t consider them family. And when they’re in trouble, they’ll start being formal with you, too.
Or are you saying you wouldn’t want to help them if they were in trouble?"
"Of course not!" Xu Chi said imdiately, finally understanding Si Shuo’s point. If his other brothers were in danger, he would help them without a second thought. By the sa token, if he was in trouble, his brothers would be willing to help him with all their hearts.
In their eyes, his desire to face this danger alone ant he wasn’t treating them like family.
Si Shuo glared at him. "Besides, if this was about , would you be willing to let shut you all out and handle it on my own?"
Xu Chi shook his head again and again. "I’m your Beast Husband. Protecting you is my duty."
"Exactly! You’re my Beast Husband, but I’m your partner, too. If you’re in trouble, could I possibly stand by and do nothing? Sotis you think you’re doing sothing for my own good, but that doesn’t an I’ll accept it. This family faces everything together!" Si Shuo said, her expression grave.
"Okay, I’ll listen to A Shuo!" Xu Chi nodded emphatically, deeply moved. ’How did I get so lucky, to et a female who cares for so completely?’
"I once heard a saying: ’Three simple cobblers are a match for one Zhuge Liang.’ Zhuge Liang was an incredibly wise Fox Clan Beastman, practically a demigod. It just goes to show there’s strength in numbers. If we all put our heads together, we can definitely make this complicated situation much simpler.
Don’t you dare follow in Ji Liang’s footsteps. I’d cry myself to death!"
Xu Chi smiled and hugged her. "Okay."
The two continued walking toward the clan’s territory. The closer they got, the more Si Shuo could see small mounds dotting the landscape, all overgrown with grass and wildflowers.
"Back then, our clansn’s heads were scattered all over. Father had already led us to safety, but he couldn’t bear the thought of leaving our people exposed in the wilderness. So, thinking the enemy had left, he went back to collect their heads one by one.
But by the ti he had gathered them all, those people had already surrounded him." Xu Chi sighed softly, his expression filled with grief. "It’s a cruel irony. Father gathered the remains of others, but his own..."
Si Shuo stopped walking, her lips pressed into a thin line as she grabbed Xu Chi’s arm. "Then what about your father? Was he... did they...?"
Xu Chi froze for a second before nodding. "Yes. Those people have many ways of capturing Horned Deer Beastn. They would never just stand by and watch one self-destruct or damage their body.
Besides, my father had a chance to stop them from succeeding, but he chose to engage with them, to stall for ti so I could escape."
"Then let’s go find your father! If his body is still out there, maybe he can co back, just like Zhi Li’s father and Xia Ming’s mother did through the blessings we’ve accumulated!"
Xu Chi looked completely stunned. Even though he had witnessed the rebirth of Zhi Li and Xia Ming, the thought of it happening to his own father felt completely unreal.
Then he shook his head. "No. Let’s just find the person who is using my father’s body to prolong their life and give him a proper burial."
Si Shuo was confused. ’I can clearly feel how much he longs for his father. Why won’t he accept my suggestion?’ But it was a question she felt she couldn’t voice.
Xu Chi pulled her into his arms, inhaling the soft, warm fragrance of his mate. For the first ti, his heart felt a sense of calm and acceptance. "My father wouldn’t want to be reborn. He’d rather soone else have that chance. Because... my mother was the one responsible for the annihilation of the entire Horned Deer Clan. My father felt he had to atone for her sins. Forcing him to be reborn would just be another form of tornt.
He said all the enmity began with him, and so it must end with him. All I can do now is find these clansn and free their souls from bondage!"
Seeing his mate’s confused expression, he gave a faint chuckle. "The skulls of the Horned Deer Clan eventually turn into Bone Tokens. Only when a Bone Token is reunited with its body can the Horned Deer Beastman’s soul be released. When that happens, the benefits the user reaps from the body are reduced to a re twenty or thirty percent of the original."
"If we have the Bone Tokens, Shi Si can find the ones we’re looking for," Si Shuo said, her eyes brightening. She cracked her knuckles and gritted her teeth. "Let’s find the original owners of these Bone Tokens one by one and uncover the truth behind the Horned Deer Clan’s annihilation. That would also give your father so peace."
Xu Chi seed to recover his spirits, the initial wave of sadness receding. "I’m glad you’re with , A Shuo. Otherwise, I might not have even had the courage to co back here."
Si Shuo tilted her head to look at him and asked curiously, "Are there things you’re afraid of, Xu Chi?"
"You think too highly of , A Shuo. I’m just good at hiding my feelings. It doesn’t an I don’t have them..."
The two had been lost in their own world for too long, and Zhi Le and the others were getting impatient. The ssage slips in her storage space were piling up, with almost everyone in the family having sent one.
After comforting Xu Chi, Si Shuo finally let them teleport over.
Everyone activated their Invisibility and got to work, digging up the Bone Tokens from each earthen mound. ’Isn’t this just grave robbing?’ Si Shuo thought, glancing away, unable to watch directly.
Most of the Horned Deer Beastn had been gathered into these mounds, but so were still scattered about. They began a grid search of the surrounding area.
Little Jing even chanted a spell, ensuring that all the Bone Tokens of the Horned Deer Beastn within a several-hundred-kiloter radius could be found.
The cubs had plenty of ways to protect themselves, each with their own superpower. They could also teleport to their mother’s side at any ti, so everyone spread out to search for the Bone Tokens.
Both Gong You and Da Hai had grasped the Ti Law. Da Hai was still young, so his understanding of the superpower wasn’t as deep. The ti distortions he could create weren’t large, but it was better than nothing. Just like his father, he would channel the Ti Law into his Spirit Storage Talisman whenever he had a free mont. Especially when his father was standing guard, he would completely exhaust his superpower before sitting down to ditate and cultivate. Cultivating this way yielded twice the results with half the effort.
Gong You, anwhile, would take turns with his Couple Brother, each storing half of their superpower. Now, everyone was equipped with Spirit Storage Talismans. They activated the Ti Law, determined to find every last Bone Token within a radius of hundreds of kiloters.
