Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children

Chapter 598 - 597: I Kind of Can’t Hold It In

Seeing the strange looks on their faces, Si Shuo smiled and said, "What are you all thinking? I’ve told people before that bearing cubs took a toll on my body.

Besides, when we deal with Xu Feng, we have to do it secretly so no one can connect it back to us!

What I mean is, we can use the Qing-Sheng Flower as a gimmick to attract Xu Feng’s attention."

The males breathed a quiet sigh of relief. The topic had made their minds go blank for a second, and following her line of thought, they had assumed she was going to offer herself as bait.

It seemed they were indeed the males their little female favored. With her as their support, their minds had grown narrower. They exchanged glances and smiled, their eyes filled with contentment and gratitude.

However, Xu Chi’s face turned cold and somber again. His eyes shifted slightly. "They used the Horned Deer’s body to extend their life. What they sought was likely a longer lifespan, talent, superpowers, or perhaps even resurrection.

Regardless of which it was, they could reverse their age, enhance their aptitude, and even gain a superpower they never had. They could go from being mortally wounded and on their last breath to a full recovery.

But the consequence of such a heaven-defying act is that they struggle with progeny. The mismatch between their soul and body makes it difficult for them to conceive. Even if they do, the offspring are often frail, sickly, and unlikely to survive..."

Si Shuo understood. "So Xu Feng is the one who can’t conceive, not Yuan Ya. In that case, he’ll definitely take the bait when he hears the rumor we’re spreading, right?

What do we do then?"

Xu Chi’s lips curled into a smile. "I just need to place the Bone Token on his neck. The Bone Token and the body were originally one, so there will be no rejection. Once the Bone Token completely merges into the body, the Horned Deer Beastman’s soul will be released. Xu Feng’s lifespan will probably be reduced to just twenty years, his body will gradually become frail and sickly, and his Talent Ability will fade to mediocrity."

Ji Liang sneered. "That’s even better. The feeling of watching yourself fall, bit by bit, after you’ve climbed so high or were just about to reach the summit... that will bring him far more pain and regret than simply slitting his throat."

Xu Chi said faintly, "His soul, in turn, will become nourishment for the Horned Deer Beastman. In its next life, the Horned Deer Beastman will be deeply blessed, but Xu Feng will be fated for misfortune!"

To put it bluntly, what goes around comes around. There’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Before they had even returned home, Xiao Cheng transformed into a gossipy Parrot Beastman. He ran to a busy intersection, found a tree sheltered from the wind, and began sighing in feigned astonishment.

His behavior quickly attracted some busybodies. "What’s wrong, brother?"

Parrot Xiao glanced left and right, then hunched his back and shoulders to lean in. He was playing up the mysterious atmosphere so well that the Beastmen gathering around him nervously ducked their heads too.

"What is it? Why are you being so secretive? Is it something other people can’t hear?"

Parrot Xiao nodded. "You bet. I only heard it from someone else, and my brother told me not to tell outsiders. But I can’t hold it in..."

This was a familiar routine to them, and they all thumped their chests, making promises. But a promise was just a promise; none of them invoked the name of the Beast God.

"Hehe..." Parrot Xiao first rubbed his hands together with a silly grin, then lowered his voice. "My brother is really something. After our Late Autumn competition, he was invited to Pingjing by a person of high status.

As you know, the higher a Beastman’s cultivation, the harder it is for them to have cubs. He’s getting anxious. I mean, no matter how powerful we males are, how shameful is it to not leave behind a single cub?

A male can’t admit he’s ’incapable,’ especially not when he can have anything he wants. The only thing missing is a cub to enjoy the fruits of all his hard work..."

His words struck a chord with the crowd. It was true. Having cubs was both their responsibility as Beastmen and a deep-seated obsession. Never mind the powerful High level Beastmen; what ordinary Beastman didn’t want a cub of their own?

"Sigh, our lives are stable now. We don’t have to fight Wild Beasts every day. So why do they pour all their energy into Cultivation? They have everything now, but they can’t get the cubs they want. What’s the point?"

"Hearing you say that, I feel so much happier than your friend! My female gave me a whole litter of cubs. I’m already at the finish line he’s striving for..."

"And then what? Isn’t that perfectly normal? Don’t tell me he found a good way to have cubs?"

Finally, a Beastman hit the nail on the head. Parrot Xiao nodded eagerly. "Exactly! My friend found a Witch Doctor who has something called a Fertility Pill. They say if you eat one, even a stone could bloom and bear fruit.

I got so excited just hearing about it. With something this good, if other powerful High level Beastmen found out, wouldn’t I get rich?"

The crowd was stunned for a moment, then they too grew excited and started asking questions. "Little brother, which Witch Doctor are you talking about? Is she really that amazing? I find that hard to believe."

"Yeah, if there was such a powerful Witch Doctor, how could we not know about her? Her cave entrance would have collapsed from the crowds by now..."

Parrot Xiao puffed out his chest proudly. "Of course! My friend and I are thick as thieves. We’ve been close since we were kids... Anyway, he’s already gotten his little female pregnant. How could that be fake?

He wasn’t stingy about it either. He told me all about that Witch Doctor so I could go get an elixir if I can’t have cubs in the future!

I’ve already got it all planned out. I’m going to have my future female bear three litters—no, five litters of cubs. With that many cubs, there’s bound to be a female cub and a male cub with good talent, right?"

Hearing this, the crowd’s hearts burned with excitement. They leaned their heads in closer, practically bumping them together.

"Little brother, this is a good deed that will earn you a blessing. We won’t tell anyone else. So who is this Witch Doctor, and how do we find her?"

"That’s right, little brother, you can’t just tell half a story. You might bite your tongue off in your sleep... Besides, a Witch Doctor that capable must be known to many. A few more of us won’t make a difference..."

Some of the more savvy Beastmen started stuffing Crystal Stones into Parrot Xiao’s hands—High level Wood Crystal Stones, no less. In Beast City, besides High level Crystal Stones and rare attributeless crystal stones, Wood Crystal Stones were the most common currency.

In the blink of an eye, the Crystal Stones in Parrot Xiao’s hands had piled up so high he had to use his shirt to hold them all.

"Well, that Witch Doctor... she’s a bit eccentric. Besides having harsh conditions, it also depends on whether she takes a liking to you. You might not get an elixir even if you go.

I..." He hesitated. "I was planning to offer myself to the Witch Doctor. It’s a double guarantee that I’ll definitely be able to have cubs. But this method only works once. If I use it, you’ll have to think of something else."

"Alright, we get it. Aren’t you just afraid we’ll steal your thunder? I swear to the Beast God, I absolutely will not compete with you for her favor. Is that good enough?"

The other males quickly followed suit, making the same vow.

Only then did Parrot Xiao sigh in feigned reluctance. "Fine. To be honest, I also think a High level Beastman’s life is only complete once they have their own cubs. Consider this my good deed for the day. You all can go try your luck.

The Witch Doctor only appears by the river at night. It seems she has some of the River God’s power..."
