Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 26 Father said he was leaving and wouldn't look back.

She was so busy finding a hiding place that she was listening to the sounds outside and rapidly creating a hiding cage. She didn't even notice that an orc was hiding there!

Needless to say, this thing is very likely the level three orc that the group outside found.

This orc had porcelain-white skin, exquisite and deep features, fluffy flaxen hair, and a pair of pure, cold brown eyes that looked at her without any expression, as if she were a wall, completely oblivious to the amazing beauty others had seen.

Si Shuo blinked, feeling a bit strange. Even though she was looking at him, she couldn't detect his presence with her other senses.

However, she didn't sense any malice from him, and her anxiety eased for the time being.

The two squatted together, and she would occasionally turn her head to look at the person next to her.

How did he manage to be right next to her without her noticing?

Si Shuo thought and thought, tried to adjust his breathing, and began to hypnotize himself: I am a blade of grass, I am a flower, I am an inconspicuous little tree!

After waiting for a long time, Si Shuo's legs were numb and he was almost asleep when the group of beastmen finally returned and left, cursing.

She let out a long, heavy sigh of relief and opened the escape basket.

The male's gaze lingered on the few newly blooming flowers above her head for a moment, then he stood up.

Si Shuo quickly got up as well, glancing at the three orange animal stripes on his neck, and felt quite safe.

It's good that she's low-level; if things go wrong, she has a better chance of escaping. Before that, she can follow this harmless orc to learn more about the situation and avoid some danger along the way.

The male carried a leather bag on his back, walked forward with his head down, and when he passed a small river that was more than three meters wide, he jumped across it with a light leap.

Si Shuo took off his shoes, hissed as he stepped into the icy river, and ran after him, stepping on the stones.

He wasn't walking particularly fast, but he had long legs, so he could outpace her by three steps in one.

After persisting for more than ten minutes, Si Shuo was panting heavily. "Brother, where are you going? What kind of beastman are you?"

She didn't dare ask him why he didn't transform; wouldn't it be easier to travel in animal form in the forest?

She couldn't catch up with him when he was in human form, and she couldn't be stupid enough to take out a crystal and hire him to carry her after he transformed, could she?

She would never do something like being murdered and robbed.

The male stopped and turned around, his voice as clear and melodious as a mountain stream: "I'm not going anywhere, Father forbids me to say."

Si Shuo tilted his head, pondered for a couple of seconds, and then realized that his two short sentences were answers to his two questions.

Where else can he go if he doesn't go? His father forbids him from telling anyone about his beast form.

Thinking this way, she asked the question frankly.

"I have nowhere to go, and I'm afraid of getting into trouble." He stood at a distance, looking at her intently.

Si Shuo approached, hands on hips, panting heavily. Seeing his own disheveled state clearly reflected in his bright eyes, he immediately stopped screaming.

Her animal hide was scratched here and there by tree branches, and tufts of fur were missing. Her hair was a mess, like that of a madwoman, with a few weeds, withered leaves, and flowers on top of it. Moreover, there were several dirty handprints on her face...

Si Shuo had never been this slovenly before.

Looking into his eyes, Si Shuo brushed the weeds and dead leaves off his head and took out a water bottle and cotton cloth from the animal skin satchel he had prepared.

She dampened a cotton cloth and wiped the dirt off her face, then dried her hands before smoothing her hair, making her look somewhat clean.

The male suddenly raised his hand, placed it on her head, picked a flower, and threw it away.

Si Shuo froze, then came to his senses. Surprisingly, he patiently stood still...

"And you?" the male tilted his head slightly and asked, but his eyes remained devoid of emotion, like a robot going through the motions. Si Shuo pursed her lips. "I'm a female from a nearby tribe. I got lost while gathering. Could you take me back?"

His gaze fell on her reddened ears, his throat bobbed, and he said calmly, "Lying!"

Si Shuo smiled and said, "I really am going to a nearby tribe, but it's not convenient for me to explain why I'm here."

The male glanced at her twice, then turned and walked away without a word. However, this time he didn't walk forward, but changed direction, heading in the direction that Si Shuo had seen from the air—the direction of the tribe.

She pursed her lips and smiled lightly as she followed. Actually, the people of the Beast World Continent are quite easy to understand. Many people's emotions and schemes are written all over their faces and actions, except for people like Ji Liang, who are two-faced despite being a leader of traveling merchants.

"My name is Si Shuo. What's your name? Could you slow down? I can't keep up..." As she finished speaking, a blush flashed across her face. She realized she had been corrupted by Ji Liang, who was so good at taking advantage of her!

Having been tense for so long, she was finally able to relax for a little while, and she couldn't help but become more talkative.

"Xu Chi," Xu Chi replied, slowing his pace to match hers, even taking the same stride, with the two of them standing at the same distance.

"Don't you have a destination?"

"No, no."

"Why?" Si Shuo was very curious. Even if you're going to wander, you still need a distant place you want to go.

A faint look of bewilderment flashed in Xu Chi's eyes. "Father said he was leaving and wouldn't look back."

Si Shuo couldn't hear anything good coming from him. Either he had been kicked out, or something terrible had happened at home that forced him to escape.

"Can't you say where you're from?"

"Um."

"So what can you say? Are you particularly good at hiding it?"

"Yes, the concealment technique is a clan secret technique," Xu Chi nodded.

Since it's a concealment technique, it naturally won't be passed on to outsiders. Si Shuo sighed slightly, but at least she could see a direction for improvement in him.

For example, right now, although he is walking in front of her, his presence is so low that she can easily forget he exists if she doesn't think about it.

Just like the flowers, plants, and trees that appear next to her, she knows they are there, but she doesn't pay any attention to them at all!

If she could learn even a little from him, and with her own escape basket, she could survive until the end of her life—absolutely!

After all, the males in this world can transform, and their strength and level are overwhelming, which she cannot catch up with simply by trying hard.

After walking for more than an hour, Si Shuo was at his physical limit. "Xu Chi, I can't walk anymore. Can we stop and rest?"

Xu Chi nodded, walked to the riverbank, sat on a blue stone, washed his hands, and scooped up a few handfuls of water to drink.

Si Shuo also washed his hands and face. It was already afternoon, and the sun was slanting, but the scorching spring sun made his face feel slightly hot.

She rubbed her arms and legs, realizing that she had never walked as much as she did today since she was born.

Xu Chi's gaze was fixed on the river. Suddenly, he stood up, said, "I'm going hunting," and then disappeared into the forest with a few leaps.

Si Shuo sat on the bluestone, raised his eyebrows, exchanged a pack of kraft paper and an eyebrow pencil at the supermarket, and began to draw while lying on the bluestone.

Guess what kind of beastman Xu Chi is! Guess correctly and a new chapter will drop! Each person can only guess one answer.
