Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 41 Kitten, Don't Cry

Where have the orcs ever experienced such a thrilling and overwhelming hunt?

Looking at the corpses of the big-tailed gray wolves scattered all over the ground, the group gasped for breath. They looked around at their comrades-in-arms, and after the initial excitement faded, their faces were filled with relief and fear at having survived the ordeal.

Then a middle-aged man glared at Chu Man, "Holy Female Chu Man, we demand an explanation!"

Chu Man was crying in a male's arms when she was called out. She said angrily, "What's there to explain? You can't even hear what Si Shuo said before pinning the blame for this pack of gray wolves on me."

Seeing that Si Shuo was spotless and even waved to her in a good mood, Ji Liang breathed a sigh of relief and smiled at her.

He had just heard the whole story, and turned to look coldly at Chu Man. "You said your two beastmen were trying to catch up with us and join the hunt."

Hiss, we have a cat-owl orc checking the surroundings, but that cat-owl orc hasn't returned yet; he must have met with some misfortune.

Cat-owl orcs don't have many natural enemies, especially at night, unless they are tricked down by familiar orcs.

The deaths of your two beastmen were perhaps due to injuries sustained while fighting the cat-owl orcs, and exhaustion from battling the pack of gray wolves and wild beasts...

Chu Man gritted her teeth and refused to admit it: "These are all your guesses. Anyway, you can all stand here properly, while my two beast husbands are dead."

If the gray wolf pack was lured there by them, how could they have been completely unprepared and died instead?

This must be a conspiracy between you and Si Shuo!

Regardless of what happened, the cat-owl orc and her two beastmen were torn apart and swallowed by the gray wolf pack, leaving no evidence behind.

Ji Liang raised an eyebrow: "The truth is, my Si Shuo saved everyone with a special plant-based potion and also got so much skin, flesh and bones from the gray wolf beasts."

"And your two beastmen are dead, the scent of blood has attracted a pack of gray wolves."

The beastmen retorted angrily, "That's right! When we're on the move, who cares about such formalities? Just feed them until they're adequate. Why send two more males hunting if they're worried about them not being full? Do you really think high combat strength is everything? We still end up feeding the wolves, don't we?"

"Don't assume I'm deaf or have a stuffy nose just because my eyesight is bad at night. Those two males left in a completely different direction from the hunting party!"

"Poor Yun helped us patrol the area, but she was tricked and killed by those vicious orcs..."

"We dare not travel with you, lest we fall asleep and be surrounded by a pack of wild beasts..."

"Yes, we can't travel together, otherwise we won't be able to control our mouths when we get to Nanye City."

Chu Man was filled with shame and indignation. It was a fact that her two beastly husbands were dead and the smell of blood had attracted the wolf pack. There was no way she could deny it.

Moreover, her beastly husbands know very well what the truth is.

After venting their anger, the males buried themselves in cleaning up the carcass of the big-tailed gray wolf on the ground, while the females were also furious, making way for Chu Man and her beast husband.

The beastmen knew very well that Si Shuo and Xu Chi deserved much credit for their miraculous escape and the killing of thousands of big-tailed gray wolves with minimal casualties.

Several team leaders said that all the big-tailed gray wolves belonged to Si Shuo and his two companions, and they would help with processing their skin, flesh, bones, and muscles, as well as transporting them to Nanye City.

Si Shuo looked at Xu Chi and Ji Liang.

"Little Shuo Shuo, you're a hero in this battle against the gray wolf pack. Speak your mind," Ji Liang said with a light laugh. His little female was truly giving him one surprise after another.

Even if he were there, working together with Sukasa, they couldn't have achieved such a small number of casualties.

Xu Chi nodded even more: "Si Shuo, it's your decision."

Si Shuo then smiled and said to the team leaders, "Everyone contributed when we were fighting the gray wolf pack. I'll take half, and you can divide the rest among yourselves." After some back and forth, everyone was quite satisfied with the result.

Wolf meat is red meat, very chewy. It's cut into small pieces, skewered, grilled, and then coated with oil, salt, chili, and cumin powder. It tastes really good.

The next day, before dawn, the beastmen got up to pack and set off, and specifically asked Chu Man and her group to wait an hour or so after the main force before departing.

Two days later, Si Shuo looked at the tall, sprawling city wall from afar, her heart filled with excitement and joy. Last night, she received a drawing by Zhi Le, which depicted this very scene!

Sure enough, before they could get close, a lithe snow leopard rushed towards them with incredible speed, like a streak of light.

"Zhi Le!" Si Shuo jumped off Ji Liang and waved while standing on tiptoe.

The snow leopard ran up to her and transformed into a handsome young man, pulling her tightly into his arms. He buried his face in her neck, inhaling the sweet scent of the little female, and couldn't resist gently biting her, his joy and satisfaction filling him: "Little kitten, I've finally found you!"

Si Shuo couldn't hold back his tears. "Zhi Le, I miss you so much, so very much."

He was the first male to treat her well after her rebirth, and also her beast husband.

In the half month they spent together, he also became her attachment in the Beast World Continent.

Even though he went on the spring hunt, Si Shuo still felt incredibly at ease looking at the beast mark on his wrist!

"Little kitty, don't cry, it's my fault. I'll never leave you alone again." These past few days, Zhile hadn't dared to close his eyes, traveling day and night, tormented and filled with self-reproach.

Only when he held the little female in his arms did he truly feel her presence.

Hearing his sob, Si Shuo quickly patted his back, "Zhi Le, I'm fine. Look at me, I'm perfectly alright, aren't I?"

Zhile slowly released her, seeing that the little female's face was free of any gloom and her smile was much brighter than before, and smiled back.

He shifted his gaze to Ji Liang and Xu Chi, nodded to them with a tense jaw, and said, "Thank you."

Ji Liang scoffed, "No need, Zhi Le. Xiao Shuo Shuo is also my little female. It's only natural for me to protect her."

Xu Chi said calmly, "Si Shuo is a female given to me by the Beast God, and I will not let her be harmed."

Si Shuo tugged at Zhi Le's arm. "Zhi Le, Zhi Le, I'm hungry. Let's go into town first? I want to eat seafood!"

Grilled squid, spicy crayfish, stir-fried clams, braised ribbonfish, and so on—just thinking about these dishes makes Si Shuo's mouth water and his eyes light up; he looks exactly like a little glutton.

The tense atmosphere between the three males was suddenly broken.

Zhile smiled and affectionately ruffled her hair, then transformed into a snow leopard and lay down beside her, looking at her with gentle eyes.

Si Shuo pounced on it happily. Although Ji Liang's snake body was cool and smooth, she also loved to suck on the leopard!

After she was settled, Zhile led her into the city.

Ji Liang and Xu Chi exchanged a glance and sighed sourly, "Other people forget their old loves when they find new ones, but in our little female's heart, Zhi Le is probably more important than the two of us combined."

A longing arose on Xu Chi's usually cold face: "Si Shuo is good to his beast husband."

The two couldn't help but smile and followed closely behind!
