The Beast's Beloved: Sickly Beauty with Many Children and blessings

Si Shuo couldn't help but ask, "Master Ji Liang, are you leaving?"

She bit her lips as she asked, unable to hide the reluctance in her voice.

Lately, she had been relying on him too much. As expected, it was difficult for a cat-beast woman in love to control herself. In the end, she had forgotten something important...

Ji Liang chuckled softly, his voice so gentle it seemed like it could drip with warmth. "Xiao Shuo Shuo, you can't bear for me to leave now, can you? You little thing who says one thing but means another!"

"We still have an agreement with other tribes, so we can't stay too long. Once you pass this love period, I'll have to lead the team away.

"But when I finish this business trip, I'll bring you some good things and stay by your side. I won't go anywhere else, okay?"

Si Shuo leaned her head against the door, feeling conflicted.

On one hand, she still stubbornly held onto the belief that they were only together for one lifetime. On the other hand, she was being influenced by the orcs around her every day.

Besides, Ji Liang was too skilled—he always knew how to win her heart, making her hesitate instead of outright rejecting him like before.

Ji Liang wasn't in a hurry. He said slowly, **"In fact, I'm a very proud and conceited person. The mate I want must be someone who captivates me at first sight, someone I will swear to follow until death.

"In my opinion, it doesn't matter whether you accept me or not. When it comes to the woman I like, there's nothing shameful in being thick-skinned, taking advantage of every opportunity, and pursuing her relentlessly.

"As long as I can be by your side when you accept your second beast husband and not miss my chance, that's enough!"**

Si Shuo couldn't help but chuckle. "Okay, but only if Zhile agrees."

She had been living cautiously during this time. Many of the Beast World's rules had been established through countless sacrifices, written in blood.

Since she would have to adapt to local customs sooner or later and choose a second beast husband, what did it matter if that person was Ji Liang? At least snakes weren't too ugly. People feared snakes because they were afraid of being bitten.

Ji Liang was momentarily stunned before suddenly bursting into hearty laughter.

In the quiet night, his laughter carried a sense of carefree joy, and Si Shuo found herself smiling along with him.

Then, Ji Liang coaxed gently, "Xiao Shuo Shuo, open the door and let me in so we can talk. I promise I won't do anything—I just want to hug you..."

Si Shuo's face darkened. "No!"

Ji Liang didn't insist and instead began telling her about his travels over the years.

His deep voice, combined with his wealth of experience, made him a natural storyteller. The anecdotes he shared were so fascinating that Si Shuo couldn't stop listening.

**"If you ask me, Xiao Shuo Shuo, before the rainy and cold seasons arrive, we should go out and travel. You should find a few more powerful males. Zhile and I still worry that we might not be able to protect you properly.

"With more males in the family, we won't have to panic as much when facing dangers or surviving harsh seasons.

"What kind of animal-shaped males do you like? Those that fly in the sky, swim in the water, or run on the ground? How about one or two of each?"**

Si Shuo really wanted to cover his mouth and asked in confusion, "Master Ji Liang, you haven't even become my beast husband yet, so why are you arranging love rivals for yourself?"

Ji Liang smiled. **"Because I like you and worry about you. I can only put my jealousy aside and think about your safety first.

"Besides, strong males need to be captured as soon as possible, or they'll be snatched away by other females. Then, our little Shuo Shuo will have to hide in my arms and cry."**

He then listed many rare orcs with beautiful animal forms: the iron-eating beast with a cute appearance but immense strength, the mysterious horned deer with wings, the ferocious flying falcon, the sea overlord Kun, the blue fox with multiple tails, the colorful and gorgeous Vermilion Bird, and more.

Si Shuo still couldn't quite connect the beasts with their human forms, but just hearing about them sparked her curiosity.

Not to mention, she was currently confined to the tribe. The outside world of the Beast Continent was full of novelties, and she longed to explore it!

However, traveling just to find beast husbands was a bit…

Fortunately, Ji Liang noticed that the little woman he liked was too shy, so he changed the subject and continued sharing his experiences.

Listening to Ji Liang's low and soothing voice, along with the warm and cool spiritual power flowing from it, Si Shuo quickly fell asleep.

Ji Liang spoke for a while before falling silent. His heart began to race.

Gathering his spiritual power, he quietly opened the door. Looking at the beautiful figure sleeping peacefully in the moonlight, he couldn't resist leaning over and pressing a devout kiss to her forehead.

Hiss, this was so damn sweet!

He took out a level seven crystal, bit into it, and chewed it a few times, transforming its powerful energy into something gentler—something a female could absorb.

He moved closer to her lips, passing the energy to her little by little.

Her lips were softer and sweeter than he had imagined. Ji Liang's scalp tingled, and his entire body shivered. He used all his self-restraint to steadily transfer his spiritual power to nourish her body.

But the little one wasn't obedient. Seeking the warmth of his body, she instinctively wrapped her arms around his neck, rubbing against him tenderly.

What should have been a simple energy transfer turned into something much more intimate.

Ji Liang's ears turned red, his eyes tinged with a deep crimson. His voice was hoarse yet helpless. "Xiao Shuo Shuo, you're really testing the limits of my willpower!"

With a wave of his hand, he closed the door. Holding her tightly in his arms, he gently stroked her hair.

He was so addicted to her warmth and softness that he couldn't let go.

Si Shuo slept soundly that night, so well that she felt her love period was almost over.

After eating the leftover fried egg pancake and drinking a bowl of rice porridge, she opened the door to ventilate the cave.

Most of the orcs had already left. The males had gone hunting, the females were out gathering, and the rest were busy with other tasks. Only a few pampered females were still sleeping until noon!

Not only had Yu Jiao taken in a stray orc husband, but Ma Hui had also brought back a member of the Dark Crow Caravan to her cave.

The two were chatting downstairs, occasionally looking up, half to talk and half to show off the good things they had recently received.

Their heads, wrists, waists, and legs were covered in decorations—like walking Christmas trees, jingling with every step.

Si Shuo swung her legs, glancing at the bushes in the distance. She wondered what kind of sincere thank-you gift she could give Ji Liang.

Her gaze shifted slightly, and she went back inside to look at a weaving tutorial.

After some thought, she chose a beautiful peace locket design.

After undoing it more than a dozen times, she finally managed to make a presentable one!

She made three—one for herself, one for Zhile, and one for Ji Liang.

The peace locket symbolized peace and happiness. She hoped that all three of them could live happily and without worries in the Beast World.
