Ch 20: This Little Thing is a Hypocrite!
Si Shuo couldn’t help but ask, “Lord Ji Liang, are you leaving?”
As soon as she asked this, she couldn’t help but bite her lip.
She had become too dependent on him recently. As expected, a cat beastman in heat was so difficult to control. In the end, her heart was a bit lacking…
Ji Liang chuckled softly, his voice so gentle it could drip with water, “Little Shuo Shuo, are you already reluctant to part? This little thing is a hypocrite!
We have agreements with other tribes, so we can’t stay too long. Once you’ve passed your heat, I’ll have to lead the team and leave.”
“After I finish this trade trip, I’ll bring you some good things and stay by your side, never going anywhere else, okay?”
Si Shuo leaned her head against the door, her heart in turmoil. On one hand, she still hadn’t broken free from the stubborn concept of “one love for life” from her previous life, while on the other hand, she was being brainwashed by the Beastmen around her every day.
Moreover, Ji Liang was too good at it, always knowing how to capture her heart, making her lose the determination to refuse without a second thought.
Ji Liang wasn’t in a hurry either, and said slowly, “Actually, I’m quite an arrogant person, and very conceited. The female I want must be the kind that I fall in love with at first sight, and vow to follow to the death.
Whether you accept me or not, it doesn’t really matter to me. Anyway, when facing a female I like, there’s nothing shameful about being thick-skinned, seizing every opportunity, and pursuing relentlessly.
As long as I’m by your side when you accept your second beast husband, and I don’t miss the opportunity, that’s enough!”
Si Shuo couldn’t help but chuckle and say, “Okay, provided that Zhi Le agrees.”
She had been living on tenterhooks during this time as well. Many rules of the Beast World Continent were forged from blood and sacrifice.
Since she would eventually adapt to local customs and choose a second beast husband, what did it matter if that person was Ji Liang?
At least snakes weren’t too ugly, and people’s fear of snakes was only because they were afraid of being harmed by them.
Ji Liang was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn’t help but hiss and laugh, still that particularly happy and hearty laugh.
In the silent night, the laughter carried a sense of uninhibited joy, and she was infected by it as well.
However, Ji Liang then coaxed softly, “Little Shuo Shuo, can you open the door and let me come in and talk to you? I promise I won’t do anything, I just want to hug you…”
Si Shuo’s face darkened, “No way!”
Ji Liang didn’t insist, and began to tell her about his travels over the years.
His voice was deep and mellow, and with his rich experience, he knew too well how to tell a story. The anecdotes were so captivating that people couldn’t bear to stop listening.
“If you ask me, before the rainy season and cold season, little Shuo Shuo, we should travel around. You should take in a few more powerful males. With just Zhi Le and me, I’m still afraid that we might be negligent and not take good care of you.
With more males at home, we won’t panic so much when facing various dangers and the rainy and cold seasons.
What kind of beast form do you like in a male? Flying in the sky, swimming in the water, running on the ground, come get one or two of each, how about it?”
Si Shuo really wanted to cover his mouth, and asked in confusion, “Lord Ji Liang, you haven’t even officially become my beast husband yet, so why are you already arranging love rivals for yourself?”
Ji Liang said with a smile, “Because I like you and worry about you, I can only put my jealousy aside and consider your safety first.
Besides, powerful males have to be taken in early, otherwise, if they’re snatched away by other females, our little Shuo Shuo can only cry in my arms.”
He then listed many rare beastmen with beautiful beast forms, such as the Iron-Eating Beast with a cute appearance but explosive combat strength, the winged and mysterious Antlered Deer, the exceptionally fierce Falcon, the sea overlord Kun, the blue fox with several tails, the colorful Vermilion Bird, and so on.
Si Shuo still couldn’t quite connect the beast and human forms in her mind. Just hearing about these beasts made her very curious and eager to see them.
Not to mention that she could only move around in the tribe now, and was full of novelty about the Beast World Continent outside. Even if she were put in modern times, everyone would still be looking forward to traveling and seeing the world!
◈◈◈
But to have fun for the sake of taking in beast husbands, this was a bit…
Fortunately, Ji Liang also realized that his beloved little female was too shy, so he changed the topic and continued to talk about his experiences in various places.
Listening to the man’s deep and gentle voice, and with his warm and cool spiritual power guiding her, Si Shuo fell asleep before long.
Ji Liang spoke for a while longer, and after a moment of silence, his heart began to beat very fast.
He silently solidified his spiritual power and opened the door. Looking at the beauty sleeping peacefully in the moonlight, he couldn’t help but lean over and reverently kiss her forehead.
Hiss, so sweet and fragrant!
He took out a level seven crystal, chewed it twice in his mouth, and transformed the surging energy inside into a gentle form that females could absorb.
He leaned close to her lips and transferred it to her little by little.
The little female’s lips were even more fragrant and soft, and Ji Liang felt a tingling numbness on his scalp. With the greatest restraint, he stabilized his rhythm and transferred spiritual power to her to nourish her body.
But the little female was not well-behaved, greedy for the warmth and coolness of his body, she reached out her arms and hugged his neck, rubbing against him softly.
The proper transfer of spiritual power was forcibly turned into a kiss by her.
Ji Liang’s ears were red, and the corners of his eyes were flushed. His voice was hoarse and helpless, “Little Shuo Shuo, you’re really challenging the limits of my willpower!”
He waved his hand to close the door, and pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her head. He was too greedy for this moment of warmth and tenderness, and was truly addicted to the taste.
Si Shuo slept extremely well that night, so well that she felt her heat was about to pass.
After eating the fried egg pancake she made yesterday and drinking a bowl of millet porridge, she opened the door to ventilate the cave.
There weren’t many beastmen in the tribe at this time. The males had gone hunting, the females had gone gathering, and the others were also busy. Besides her, there were only some females who were doted on by the males, sleeping until late in the morning!
Not only had Yu Jiao taken in a rogue beastman as her beast husband, but Ma Hui had also brought back a member of the Dark Crow Merchant Band to her cave.
The two of them were chattering downstairs, slightly raising their heads to speak, but half of it was to show off to Si Shuo, bragging about what good things they had gotten recently.
Their heads, hands, waists, and legs were full of ornaments, like Christmas trees, jingling wherever they went.
Si Shuo swung her legs and looked at the shrubs in the distance, pondering what kind of sincere thank-you gift to give Ji Liang.
Her eyes flickered slightly, and she returned to the cave to look at the weaving tutorial. She chose a beautiful peace buckle style, rummaged out the fiery red beast hide, removed the fur, cut it into strips, and began to weave with the golden beast tendons.
The peace buckle was beautiful, but to weave it neatly and beautifully required repeated practice, figuring out the techniques and strength.
After she dismantled it more than ten times, she was finally able to weave a presentable piece!
This time, without other females around, she still wove several, one for herself, one for Zhi Le, and one for Ji Liang.
The peace buckle symbolized peace and joy, and she hoped that they could all be happy and carefree in the Beast World.
