Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 45 The Great Fish Beast's Tribute Tour

The males are incredibly kind to the females and their offspring, spending lavishly on things without a second thought about the crystals.

Moreover, the beastmen have good appetites and are very active. Even the females and their offspring can eat more than modern boys who are still growing!

While she was munching on her pastries, the shopkeeper made a profit of one, ten, one hundred...

She was excitedly counting on her fingers when Shanman and Hezhu, who had just finished their stroll, excitedly ran back, each grabbing one of her hands, and squeezed into the dense crowd.

The males followed closely with solemn expressions, afraid of losing their respective females.

"Hey, where are we going?" Si Shuo reluctantly turned her head to look at the long line of pastry shops, thinking that since there were many beastmen in Nanye City during this period, she and her beastmen husbands could set up a stall and earn some hard-earned money.

"Let's go to the arena," Shanman said with a smile. "Not only do we females come to Nanye City to find beast mates, but many strong males also come to find females with good fertility."

He may talk a big game, but the beast patterns on his body don't necessarily reflect his combat strength. He might just be putting on a show with crystals.

So, this arena, which attracts females, came into being, and it's incredibly lively at this time of year...

He Zhu nodded repeatedly, her face full of longing: "If any female takes a liking to a male on stage, they can become mates as long as the male is satisfied with the female's conditions."

Many males won the favor of the holy maidens through gladiatorial combat in the arena.

The females beside them clenched their fists, their voices filled with excitement: "I heard from the older sisters in the clan that there is a giant fish beast called Gongyou from the outer sea, of unknown species, fighting on the arena every year, and no holy female has yet taken him away."

"Why? Wasn't he looking for a Holy Maiden? Every year, the Beast God selects three to five Holy Maidens, not to mention the Holy Maidens who come from all over the world. With so many Holy Maidens, isn't there a single one he's taken a liking to?"

"Who knows? Anyway, I've heard she's really beautiful, no less so than mermaids..."

Si Shuo listened with great interest. Sure enough, where there are many people, there is a lot of gossip. Her mental world has shrunk by half since she was away from electronic products.

However, like a child who has never seen the world, she would occasionally turn her head to see if her beastly husband had followed.

As she passed a stall, she picked up a cat-human mask made of bone, put it on, and it covered half of her face, leaving only her clear blue eyes and lips that were more beautiful than peach blossoms on a spring branch.

She smiled and struck a lucky cat pose at Zhile, then turned and gave Ji Liang a fierce meow.

That soft and cute appearance stirred the hearts of the two males!

None of them mentioned that the little female with the mask on was particularly eye-catching.

Ji Liang readily gave the stall owner a first-grade crystal.

The closer you get to the arena, the more orcs there are. From afar, you can hear the hoarse shouts of the males. There are also a few bold females calling out the names of several orcs, all of whom are the most popular males in the arena this year!

Shan Man and He Zhu arrived a few days earlier than Si Shuo and were more familiar with these situations, so they explained them to her one by one.

They couldn't compare to the Holy Maidens, but there were plenty of males in the arena, and there were always some who were similar in terms of qualifications and willing to mate with them.

Reaching the edge of the crowd, Ji Liang transformed into beast form, using his head to lift Si Shuo ten meters into the air. Apart from the females sitting on the flying beasts that were constantly circling in the air, Si Shuo's field of vision was quite impressive.

However, several snake-beastmen immediately raised their heads, their females proudly displayed. Several meters away, Si Shuo saw the Holy Female Chu Man sitting atop the golden python-beastman!

The arena has ten fighting platforms, each about a hundred square meters in size, with protective shields activated by crystals. There are matches taking place on each platform.

Most of the males fight in their animal forms, with only one or two out of ten remaining in human form.

Si Shuo has been traveling lately, so her gathering missions have been put on hold. She had accumulated some beast coins in Fengchuan tribe, but they were almost all used up because of her gluttony.

She still exchanged some snacks, such as crab roe seeds, potato chips, almonds and various dried fruits, not much of each, totaling about a pound, which she put in the animal skin bag at her waist.

She was just there for the fun of it all. She wasn't really interested in the fight between the men. She glanced at the stage casually, her mind preoccupied with her pastry business. She ate snacks while talking to Ji Liang.

"Ji Liang, you said you sell floating wheat and rice around here? I haven't seen any."

"Yes, but the wheat and rice aren't sold yet; they're bought up by those few shops, made into food, and then sold to customers."

Isn't this a monopoly? Others who want to take over the business don't even have the ingredients.

"Are the owners of those shops very powerful? Are they not allowed to sell food freely in the market?"

She didn't just go shopping; she also observed carefully. The owners of each stall were quite capable, and the way they treated customers exuded a fearless aura, much like long-established merchants who had settled in tourist destinations.

Ji Liang was surprised by the little female's sensitivity. He nodded slightly and hissed, "Yes, Nanye City has been developing for hundreds of years. Many stall owners have passed down their businesses from generation to generation. The stalls are one after another, with almost no vacancies."

Because of this, the goods sold in the various markets were almost identical, following a similar pattern. What each market sold and how many vendors operated there were all things that had temporarily stabilized after numerous large and small struggles.

Si Shuo sighed slightly, "In other words, if we set up a stall and business is bad, we won't be able to afford the stall fee, and we'll be doing business that loses us crystals."

But if our business is good, we'll attract attention, and we might be attacked by other food vendors.

Ji Liang narrowed his eyes slightly and hissed, "That's right, the more prosperous a place is, the more complex and difficult to shake the power behind it."

When I led a caravan before, I would temporarily avoid their sharp edge when purchasing goods in Nanye City.

There's no need to get into trouble over a few crystals.

Si Shuo stuffed snacks into his mouth and said somewhat dejectedly, "If we go to the Central Continent, will the situation be even more serious than this?"

Do we still have a chance to unleash our full power?

Ji Liang really wanted to hold the little female in his arms. What little female would think of such a thing?

The clash of ideas, more so than the visual delight, softened his heart like a pool of spring water.

He chuckled softly, "Then, little Shuo Shuo, find a powerful and influential beast husband in a prominent family. With a strong backer, all our problems will be solved!"

Si Shuo almost choked. Why do so many topics start off but always end up about getting married?

Suddenly, a sharp scream drew her attention back to the Colosseum.

"It's Gong You! Ah, Gong You jumped up! This time he's going to fight a level 10 tusked mammoth orc. Level 9 and level 10 are a whole color difference, and tusked mammoth orcs always have very high attack and defense..."
