Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 82 Sister, a life-saving favor isn't reliable.

Si Shuo's previous life was filled with pain and loneliness. The more a person lacks something, the more they will like and yearn for it.

However, she looked at her four beast husbands and said with a light laugh, "I have two criteria for choosing a beast husband. First, he must be highly skilled in combat and intelligent!"

We are a big family, and coming together to increase our family's resilience is of paramount importance, which is also the necessity of my choice of a husband.

If it weren't for this reason, she would have been content with just one or two beastmen.

To put it bluntly, adult life requires pragmatism. Just like modern people going on blind dates and getting married, material conditions are discussed first. In the Beast World Continent, the combat strength of males is the hard requirement.

Xiao Shisi nodded happily: "That's only right. With the brothers being so capable, the level of beast husbands that sister takes in will only be higher."

If you have a female pet at home and lots of babies, you can't possibly keep a male pet just for show, right?

What's the second standard?

At this moment, Gong You was standing next to Si Shuo on the other side, picking out snail meat for her.

The spicy flavor was incredibly satisfying and stimulating. Si Shuo leaned comfortably on Gong You's shoulder. "The second one has to be good-looking, and also someone who makes my heart flutter!"

She's attracted to good looks; if someone isn't pretty, they won't get her attention.

She might like someone just because they're pretty, but without feeling any attraction, she can't spend the rest of her life with them.

She's looking for a partner, not a friend!

Xiao Shisi swished a few snails and said with a grin, "I have a twin brother who looks exactly like me. My sister will definitely like him."

Si Shuo looked at Xiao Shisi and sneered, "We sent you back to the Xiao family because of the generous reward you promised and the power of your Xiao family, but you're just trying to sell your brother!"

Xiao Shisi chewed on the river shrimp; it was fragrant, soft, crispy, and slightly spicy, with no fishy smell at all—it was incredibly delicious.

"Sister, a life-saving favor isn't reliable. You should arrange a marriage with a good man from the Xiao family. That way, the Xiao family will be your protector."

Ji Liang hissed, "Little Shuo Shuo, the blue fox with three tails is beautiful. It has white fur with some blue tips."

The Blue Fox Clan is one of the nine ancient beast clans. Even after hundreds or thousands of generations, the inherited power in their bloodline gives the descendants of the fox clan a unique advantage and outstanding talent from birth.

They don't need to work hard; their combat strength can reach level ten or higher when they grow up.

Moreover, the fox clan has a high fertility rate; which family in the Central Continent doesn't have fox descendants?

Gong You nodded, "That's right, sweetheart, you can tell just by looking at Xiao Shisi. When we take Xiao Shisi home, his family will definitely have a whole bunch of good-looking males. Just challenge the one with the highest strength!"

Xiao Shisi became nervous and tried to grab Si Shuo. Looking down at his hands, which were covered in oil, he could only look at Si Shuo with pleading eyes: "Sister, there is a saying in the Central Continent: 'You can know a person's face but not their heart,' and another saying: 'Time will tell.'"

From Puchang City to the Central Continent, we'll be traveling for several Beast Months. I'm sure my sister knows exactly what kind of Beastman I am.

The male I recommended to you, how could it be wrong? It doesn't necessarily have to be the strongest, right?

Zhile raised an eyebrow: "Why not? My kitten is good. Before we've bonded, why would she choose the strongest male? What's wrong with that?"

Even Xu Chi spoke up: "Si Shuo, the males who offer you their beast marks will treat you wholeheartedly. Their combat strength is the only direct and obvious criterion for judging their character if you don't understand them."

Si Shuo knew that everyone was being truthful on one hand, and teasing Xiao Shisi on the other, so he nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'll listen to you!"

She assumed the beastmen were just jealous of a female. Xiao Shisi was getting anxious, "Sister, are you choosing a beastman, or are they?"

"I'm choosing my beast husband, but I'm also letting them choose their mates. Their opinions are equally important for a harmonious family," Si Shuo said earnestly.

Gong You chuckled and turned his head to kiss her forehead. "Our darling is the best. Don't worry, as long as you really like it, even if the combat power isn't quite what you want, we can accept it."

"Hiss, at worst we can just find a few more Xiao Shuo Shuo to make up for the lack of fighting power," Ji Liang added in a cool voice.

Si Shuo quickly shook her head. She was already overwhelmed by her four beast husbands, and she liked them all. She didn't want to be blinded by their good looks and bring home a mere vase, which would only increase friction among her family members.

The males are united by her; those who are strong can admire, appreciate, and cooperate with each other!

Xiao Shisi bit her lip and continued eating, "Anyway, anyway, my sister will know when she sees my brother."

While we were catching river fish, several of Yimei's animal handlers were also busy working together.

Si Shuo took out some bean paste and hot pot base, and explained the cooking method.

They also raised protective shields to block out all sight and sound from the outside.

Si Shuo naturally forgot to ask Ji Liang to send some to each of the Xu family leaders. As for the other beastmen, sorry, I'm not familiar with them. If they want to eat, they can make it themselves!

Knowing that Si Shuo liked river delicacies, after the meal, Xu Chi cooked a lot of river shrimp and snails for her to eat as snacks on the way.

In the Winterye Forest, the beastmen dared not be negligent in the slightest. They would only stop to rest for three or four beast periods each day, and spend the rest of their time running wildly along the routes they had cleared.

Occasionally, they encounter high-level ferocious beasts, and they will basically not stop unless the other party initiates an attack.

For more than a month, Si Shuo felt like his legs were going to break. He could only walk a few hundred steps a day, and when he got out of bed, he felt like he was floating.

Finally, the trees began to thin out, and signs of orc activity appeared!

The females and their cubs sitting on the backs of the males couldn't help but cheer, a sound that startled Si Shuo, who was still fast asleep.

Xiao Shisi chuckled and patted her back. "Sister, we're leaving Dongye Forest. We should reach the nearest market around dusk."

Si Shuo opened his eyes, still a little dazed. He subconsciously hugged Xiao Shisi's waist, snuggled against him, and then closed his eyes again to wake up.

Xiao Shisi pinched her smooth ear with his hand, his brown eyes growing even deeper. "Sister, this place is already on the edge of the Central Continent. The market outside the forest is very large. Basically, after the spring hunt every year, merchants from all over the country gather here to buy animal hides, crystals, and meat from the nearby tribes."

They also brought a lot of pottery, cloth, crops, and various beaded ornaments.

Oh, and there's an auction here too. It's full of rare items that you can't buy even with crystals at the stalls.

Seeing that Si Shuo was in good spirits, Zhi Le and the others found an open space where someone had lit a campfire and stopped, pushing Xiao Shisi aside.

After washing up, Zhile lit a campfire, and the water in the earthenware pot on top boiled.

Each person had a bowl of mixed grain fried noodles with a spoonful of honey, soaked in dried flatbread, served with pickled cucumbers and dried meat, plus a nest of bird eggs that Ji Liang had found.

After finishing their meal, they continued their journey. Ji Liang, shielding Si Shuo, waved a protective barrier and hissed as he asked, "Little Shuo Shuo, how's your healing skill practice going?"

Si Shuo asked, somewhat puzzled, "Ji Liang, why do you ask that?"
