Pampered Beast: Frail Beauty with Many Children Brings Blessings

Chapter 99 The Prince with Treacherous Intentions

Kerosene lamps already existed in the Middle East. They were made by mixing animal fat with certain vegetable oils and placing a coarse cotton wick inside. They were inexpensive, burned for a long time, and provided illumination, making them much better than bringing in a campfire.

Especially as the weather gets warmer, you can't exactly stay around a campfire that's swaying in the wind when you're doing some fine work at night, can you?

The animal skin bag was made from the animal skins they brought, and they asked a metal-type orc to make a skeleton to support it. They also asked a stone-type orc to conjure a smooth stone bed, stone table and chairs, and stone cabinet.

Once inside the animal skin bag, Ji Liang first set up a defensive shield and lit an oil lamp.

Si Shuo covered it with glass so that the black smoke and smell from the oil lamp could only rise upwards.

She found some parchment and a pencil, and lay down on the stone table to write a letter to Zhile and Gongyou, who were out hunting in the spring.

The text describes the Qingxi tribe setting up a fighting arena, recounting her observations and expressing her longing for them.

Ji Liang felt a little jealous again. The little female only had one male by her side, yet she was thinking about the other ones.

He didn't know whether it was better to stay by her side or to go out and be worried and missed by her.

After writing the letter, Si Shuo even found an envelope, folded the letter neatly and stuffed it in, and wrote "Zhi Le Shou" and "Gong You Shou" in Chinese characters on the envelope, followed by "Si Shuo Sends".

Of course, she added pinyin annotations for all of them in case they wouldn't recognize them.

After she finished packing, she looked outside the tent. It was already so late and Xu Chi still hadn't returned. Was he going to be challenging the enemy all night?

Ji Liang pulled her into his arms. "Little Shuo Shuo, I will also hone my fighting skills on the arena all day tomorrow."

"Let me show you my skills for now, and also help you pass the time, so you don't just sit there thinking about this and that, staring at me blankly..."

Si Shuo felt the coolness and passion emanating from him, and her head quickly became dizzy. She wondered if her period of longing was a little short this time, or if she had something on her mind. Surprisingly, she didn't feel so bad that night.

Si Shuo woke up naturally again after sleeping soundly. Without even opening his eyes, he buried his face in the pillow. Ugh, how decadent!

Seeing that she was awake, Xu Chi smiled and pulled her into his arms, nuzzling her neck and gently touching her abdomen with his hand. His voice was hoarse with excitement, "Si Shuo, you are amazing, you are pregnant with my baby."

Si Shuo?!

She was fully awake. What the heck?

Si Shuo looked at Xu Chi blankly and stammered, "Xu Chi, what did you just say?"

Xu Chi chuckled and kissed her forehead, then tried to continue affectionately, but Si Shuo covered her mouth.

He held her hand affectionately and began kissing the back of her hand. His affectionate manner was much more intense than before, completely ruining his persona!

Seeing the little female glaring at him, Xu Chi surprisingly pulled her into his arms and said, "I'm telling you, A-Shuo is pregnant with my baby."

Si Shuo was completely unprepared. Zhi Le and Ji Liang had both mentioned before that she was in poor health and was coming to the Central Continent, so they were being very careful.

She hadn't worried about this, and subconsciously felt that she should settle down in Guangshou City before planning to have children with Zhile first, one child at a time, one or two years at a time.

This way, she won't be tired, and the husbands can take good care of their babies at home in the next year or two.

Seeing that she was still in a daze, Xu Chi pursed his lips, looking dejected, and even his face turned slightly pale. He asked in a low voice, "Si Shuo doesn't want to have a baby for me? You didn't say that yesterday."

Si Shuo blinked and suddenly remembered that she had said yesterday that she wanted to have his baby.

But the problem is, she didn't mean to give birth right there! Si Shuo was a little amused and exasperated. He hugged Xu Chi and chuckled for a while before covering his hand with hers in surprise and placing it on his abdomen.

"Are there really fawns here?" She gripped Xu Chi's arm tightly with her other hand, and looked up, her azure eyes filled with subtle joy.

The young female is delighted to have cubs with him!

This realization brought Xu Chi even more joy than the feeling of his own bloodline; one was like precious spring rain, the other like a long-awaited rain after a drought.

Xu Chi nodded, stroking her face. The surge of emotion in his heart made his eyes redden. "Yes, our baby."

Si Shuo kissed his lips. "From now on, Xu Chi will have a new family besides us, with bloodlines to carry on."

From now on, Xu Chi must no longer be fearless and forge ahead relentlessly. He must remember to occasionally look back, slow down, and wait for us, mother and child.

Xu Chi nodded heavily again, "Okay, Ashuo is my life, and Zaizai is the apple of my eye."

Si Shuo felt both love and heartache for Xu Chi. "Why aren't you called Si Shuo anymore? So it's only because I had your baby that I became your life, your A-Shuo?"

"I'm afraid you won't want me anymore," Xu Chi said with a light laugh. "I always feel that Ashuo is the Beast God's favor towards me, which may be taken back at any time. I dare not be too greedy."

Calling you Si Shuo is a constant reminder to myself to strive to become stronger and protect you. But deep down, I also really want to call you A Shuo.

Just like with Zhile and the others, that way, if I call out "A-Shuo" in the crowd, you'll know it's me!

To him, Zai Zai was like a real thread connecting the two of them, a bond even deeper than the beast mark.

Si Shuo never expected that Xu Chi, who was usually quiet and devoted, had a richer inner world than they had imagined.

The two admired the unborn baby in her belly for a while. Si Shuo's eyes flickered slightly. He unmuted the system and, sure enough, he had completed the second main quest!

System: Congratulations, host, on completing Main Quest 2 and successfully conceiving a cub! You have received the following rewards: one Awakening Pill, one Hidden Beast Bead, one pet egg, one box of twenty-seven cans of formula milk, and 20,000 Beast Coins!

Si Shuo couldn't help but smile with delight. The system was so thoughtful. Before, after she gained the ability to replicate, she was a little regretful that she couldn't continue replicating after taking the Awakening Pill.

Moreover, she was carrying a calf of a horned deer. If it were a female, it would be fine, as females don't transform into animal form. As long as they kept their mouths shut, no one would know whether the female was a horned deer or a deer.

But if the cub is a male, you can't have Xu Chi stay by its side every step of the way and protect it as it transforms into human form, can you?

With the Hidden Beast-Shaped Bead, she won't be afraid of giving birth to several litters of cubs for Xu Chi!

The system has always been rather stingy, especially when it comes to beast coins. In order to cultivate her into a person who is morally, intellectually, physically, aesthetically, and practically competent, it has forced her to link the way she earns beast coins to her labor.

Si Shuo was spoiled by her beast husband at home and didn't like to mistreat herself, so she had almost used up all the beast coins she had saved.

She hadn’t had time to collect anything during her travels, but the system unexpectedly rewarded her with 20,000 in one go!

Si Shuo strongly suspected that the system was indirectly encouraging her to have a baby. It had thought of everything, and even worried that the baby might not be able to awaken its superpowers due to an accident. It didn't even need her to voice her opinions, and it had even prepared superpower awakening pills.

After all, in some modern countries, when residents run out of money, they have children and rely on the state to support them...
