Chapter 543: Chapter 542: Belated Blessing

"How about we continue using the Beast God’s name to give the elixirs to Xu Ge?" Si Shuo wrote quickly.

This method would let Xu Ge know the true origin of the elixirs, preventing others from taking advantage of the situation.

Wei Ce couldn’t think of a better way either. These elixirs definitely couldn’t be passed through someone else’s hands. Otherwise, that person would either get greedy or earn Xu Ge’s deep gratitude.

"Alright," he agreed without objection.

The two of them left the house again, found a secluded spot, and recorded a few audio clips.

Wei Ce placed a Protective Shield made of Spiritual Power around Xu Ge’s house to prevent anyone outside from eavesdropping.

Meanwhile, Si Shuo took advantage of a moment when the three Beastmen inside were distracted to place a Beast Skin Bag at the foot of the stone bed. Then, holding up a recording device, she played the first audio clip: "Female Saint Xu Ge, I am the Cangwu Beast God, ruler of the Central Continent. I have sensed your suffering and have specially decided to grant you three boons and gift you some elixirs.

Take the Beast Skin Bag at the foot of your bed. Inside is a Storage Ring that will bind to you with a drop of blood. You can weave it into a necklace to carry with you at all times. Remember, do not let anyone else discover it...

The pouch marked with a green leaf contains the divine healing medicine, Revitalizing Pills. There are fifty of them. You must use them wisely, for there will be no more once they are gone... In the Jade Gourd marked with raindrops are twenty Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pills, which can completely transform one’s body and improve their aptitude... The Jade Gourd carved with a cub contains ten Fertility Pills. Any male who takes one will be able to impregnate a female. Moreover, the resulting cubs will have excellent aptitude, and the female may even gain the ability to transform into her beast form...

Remember, I am only granting you this opportunity on account of one of your sons..."

Xu Ge, who was weaving baskets with the males, looked up at the ceiling in disbelief. There was nothing there, yet the voice was coming from directly overhead.

She heard and understood every single word, but piecing them all together, she felt as if she were daydreaming.

’How could something so good possibly happen? The Beast God was personally delivering a destined opportunity to her? All of those items were priceless treasures, impossible to find on the market. What right did she, a barren Female Saint, have to enjoy them?’

In contrast, the two males’ dull eyes instantly lit up. They hurriedly prostrated themselves on the ground, expressing their immense gratitude to the Beast God.

She wasn’t the only one who had heard it. Feeling a bit dazed, Xu Ge kowtowed with a few loud THUDS alongside them. Then, she took the heavy Beast Skin Bag that had appeared out of thin air from one of her Beast Husbands and carefully opened it.

Just the skin used as the wrapping was an extremely expensive, dense, and wonderfully warm otter skin, large enough for her to make a cloak that could envelop her entire body.

Inside, half of the contents were various dried meats and preserved fruits wrapped in Beast Skin Bags, while the other half was Crystal Stones. There were also three Jade Gourds filled with elixirs!

"Brother Ke, do you think... is this real? Did the Beast God really send us so many wonderful things?" Xu Ge asked, her eyes glazed over in a daze.

The two males exchanged a look and said with a smile, "Ge’er, let’s try the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill. Then we’ll know if this is real or not."

"That’s right. We have nothing that anyone would scheme to get, and it’s even more unlikely that someone would go to such great lengths to curry favor with us. What if it’s real?"

Xu Ge thought about it and agreed. Her hand hovered over the three Jade Gourds before stopping on the one marked with raindrops. She poured out three Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pills, flattened her palm, and looked at her two Beast Husbands. "One for each of us. If it’s poison, then that’s simply our fate. Escaping this cruel world together... that might not be so bad, either."

"It won’t be. The Beast God wouldn’t deceive people," one of the Beast Husbands said earnestly, grabbing her other hand. "Ge’er, we’ve never harmed anyone. The Beast God wouldn’t play a joke like this. And no one would dare to joke using the Beast God’s reputation..."

Si Shuo and Wei Ce exchanged a guilty look.

But what Xu Ge was thinking was, what had she ever done to be discovered by the Beast God, let alone be given so many heaven-defying treasures? She had birthed two litters of cubs, with eight to ten in each, but only five had good enough aptitude to be allowed to stay.

After she became barren, no High-level males came to offer her their Beast Marks anymore. To ensure their cubs’ survival, her Beast Husbands desperately earned Crystal Stones. The three cubs who eventually managed to stay in Beast City and grow up found females of their own, but her other Beast Husbands had either died or been grievously injured, leaving only the two currently by her side.

The decent house they lived in now was also something those three cubs had fought to get for them.

She truly couldn’t imagine which one of her ordinary cubs—the ones driven from the city—could have possibly moved the Beast God to personally grant her such a fateful opportunity.

Deciding not to dwell on what she couldn’t understand, Xu Ge shook her head, exchanged a look with her two Beast Husbands, and then each of them took a Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill and put it in their mouths.

Xu Ge’s chronic pain stemmed from the poor care she received during childbirth. Yichu hadn’t even removed the placenta, misinterpreting her continuous bleeding as a sign of a stillborn fetus. Postpartum recovery is completely different from inducing an abortion, but the medical arts of the Witch Doctors were passed down orally through generations. There were no written records, and the knowledge was pitifully scarce, with significant gaps.

During her postpartum confinement, Xu Ge had been forced to drink a potent concoction that nearly killed her. The placenta turned into necrotic tissue inside her womb, infecting the uterine wall and rendering her infertile...

As for her two Beast Husbands, they had spent the last twenty-odd years protecting and providing for her and the cubs, enduring one perilous ordeal after another. They didn’t know how many more times they could get lucky and survive.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill was brimming with Spiritual Energy. It was gentle yet carried a forceful current, meticulously washing away the old injuries inside their bodies and expelling all impurities and toxins.

Like a rising tide, it washed over them in waves. They furrowed their brows, enduring the strange mix of aching soreness and intense relief.

An unknown amount of time passed before they felt a profound comfort spreading through their entire bodies. A breeze carrying the scent of flowers drifted by, and the filth covering their skin was swept clean, scattered into the howling wind outside.

They slowly opened their eyes, a joyous surprise reflected in each other’s gazes. Xu Ge’s body felt completely restored. All her old pains and ailments had vanished, and the feeling of lightness and comfort was just like what she’d felt before she ever had a mate. Her hair was lustrous and black, her skin fair and smooth. Her beautiful features were exquisitely defined, with faint dimples gracing the corners of her lips.

The scars on the males’ bodies had vanished as well. They looked just as they had when she first met them—aside from being a bit thinner, they were still young and handsome!

Having now profoundly experienced the power of the elixirs, they knelt on the ground once more, kowtowing repeatedly in thanks to the Beast God.

Xu Ge took the Storage Ring, bound it to herself with a drop of blood, and wove it into a necklace to wear. She then divided the contents of the Beast Skin Bag into three portions, mainly because it was too unsafe for one person to carry everything.

They had originally thought it would be difficult to survive the coming winter, but unexpectedly, their fate had taken a turn for the better.

Xu Ge smiled gently and said with pious sincerity, "Although I don’t know which of my sons I have to thank for this blessing, I pray that he will be safe and that everything goes smoothly for him. I hope he finds a female who will dote on him, love him, and respect him, has a group of powerful Couple Brothers, and fathers a litter or two of clever cubs with excellent aptitude..."
