Chapter 544: Chapter 543: I’ll Dote On You

Hearing the blessing from his biological Mother, Wei Ce stood stunned, his face a mixture of laughter and tears. "Shuo," he said, "do you think she would take back her blessing if she knew I was the child who caused her twenty years of suffering?"

Si Shuo squeezed his hand. "Brother Ce, it doesn’t matter anymore. Our paths will hardly cross again. What’s happened has happened; we have to look forward. Everyone’s fate is predetermined.

Without the pain you brought her, she wouldn’t have had this opportunity. Everything in life is interconnected.

Over the years, they had seen many things clearly. The bitterness they tasted early on could very well become the sunshine on their future path.

Besides, not all females blame giving birth for their misfortunes. On the contrary, she lost her ability to have children because she gave birth to you. If she knew you existed, her heart would only ache for you more..."

Wei Ce pulled her into his arms. "Mm, Shuo is right. I shouldn’t keep getting trapped in the past. This will be the last time."

Xu Ge’s body had recovered. Not only were there no obstacles to childbirth, but her Fertilization Ability had also grown much stronger. She immediately grew a basin of bean sprouts and called her sons from next door, giving the sprouts to their little female and cubs to eat.

Seeing their Mother and Fathers so completely transformed, the young males were both shocked and overjoyed.

Xu Ge briefly explained what had happened and pressed four elixirs into their hands. "One for each of you three, and one for the little female. All these years, if it weren’t for your family’s help, your Mother and Fathers would’ve been dead and buried long ago."

The three young males couldn’t possibly accept them.

One of Xu Ge’s Beast Husbands spoke up. "Take them. With the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill, your aptitude will increase, and your Cultivation will be twice as effective. Only by growing stronger can you better protect your female, your cubs, and your Mother.

Hoarding the elixirs will only cause their effects to weaken..."

"That’s right, elixirs are meant to be consumed. You’re all good cubs..."

The three males finally accepted the elixirs, blushing. They consumed the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pills right then and there. Each of their auras changed, and their cultivation all advanced by a full level!

Fortunately, everyone was wearing heavy Beast Skins that concealed their Beast Patterns. Coupled with the gloomy weather, the fact that their skin had grown a bit fairer wasn’t too conspicuous.

After a quick wash, they were sent back next door with a pack of jerky pressed into their hands.

Wei Ce watched with a detached expression. With his arm around Si Shuo’s waist, he whispered in her ear, "Shuo, if I were one of them, Mother would treat me like that too, right?"

Si Shuo smiled and nodded, standing on her tiptoes to pat his head. "Of course. Our Wei Ce is so tall, handsome, filial, and hardworking, with exceptional talent. The number one Warrior in all of Guangshou City! Who wouldn’t love you?

When we go to the Southwest Continent in the future, if you don’t have a Mother to dote on you, I’ll dote on you."

Wei Ce looked down at the flecks of laughter in the little female’s deep blue eyes and couldn’t resist picking her up and quietly carrying her away. "Shuo doesn’t hate me anymore?"

Si Shuo’s body stiffened. She quickly buried her head in his chest. A silent smile touched her lips, but her voice came out muffled, "I... The situation was urgent just now. I was only worried about Brother Ce, so I completely forgot about that!"

Wei Ce gave her neck a sharp, playful bite. "Then just keep forgetting about it, how about that?"

Si Shuo was in a "special" phase, and his teasing made her entire body go limp and weak. She began to whimper softly.

Wei Ce’s eyes darkened. He carried her and rushed all the way back to their house. Now that everyone in the family had gone to the valley, the two of them were the only ones in the residence...

In the middle of the night, a flash of lightning as bright as day startled Si Shuo awake. She burrowed into Wei Ce’s arms, taking his hand to cover her ears. Sure enough, it wasn’t long before a low rumble of thunder echoed through the world.

One crash followed another. Wei Ce quickly raised a Protective Shield to block out the noise. But the flashes of lightning still made Si Shuo’s heart pound with anxiety.

Worried the other Beastmen in their family would be concerned, Si Shuo and Wei Ce teleported back to the valley.

The low thunder rumbled all night, and the incessant flashes of lightning were like a strobe light. It wasn’t until the next morning that the heavy rain finally began to pour down.

The rain came down in sheets—a true downpour. The entrance to the cave looked like a waterfall. Outside, dark clouds had long since blotted out the sky, making it as dark as night.

On the platform outside the cave, thick, double-layered tempered glass created by Xiao Cheng had long been installed. Once the main door was shut, the males took turns maintaining a Protective Shield, blocking out the cacophony of the rain.

Inside the cave, it was brightly lit, dry, and fresh—it was almost sinfully cozy.

Si Shuo suggested they have hot pot. In their personal dimension, there was an acre of bamboo forest, and the other five acres were planted with grains, fruits, vegetables, and medicinal herbs. The males also took turns going in to tend to the crops.

As Si Shuo’s superpower improved, the flow of time inside the space had accelerated, now running three times faster than before. Wheat that used to take half a month to mature now only needed five days! Fruits and vegetables ripened in just two or three days!

It was a good thing they had the Sumeru Space. Otherwise, with the dimension’s diligent mass production, their home would have long been filled to the brim with no room to even set foot.

After a wonderful meal, Zhi Qi transformed into a Snow Leopard and curled up behind Si Shuo, letting the little female lean back against him comfortably and pet his fur from time to time. Zhi Le, meanwhile, sat right next to her. One wall of their home was lined with all sorts of books. These were all books Si Shuo had purchased before the supermarket system closed, which she had then duplicated. The males and the cubs were also learning to read, holding books just like her and looking up any unfamiliar words in a dictionary.

Si Shuo didn’t have many points left. Especially in the early days, when she had just arrived in the Beast World Continent and was still adapting, she had spent quite a few points exchanging them for various foods and items.

By the time the system finally unbound from her, she didn’t have many Beast Coins left. Aside from buying some necessities, she had converted the rest into books. And that wasn’t even the bulk of it; most of it was digital material. Once they reached the Southwest Continent, she would see if there was a chance to get these e-books printed...

Outside, the sky remained overcast. The rain fell from morning till night, continuing for about ten days without a break, making everyone cooped up inside feel inexplicably restless.

However, with so many people in the family, Si Shuo never lacked for company, whether for exercise or board games. Half the day was spent on Cultivation and the other half on recreation, and with meals and rest added in, their daily routine was established, making the time pass quickly.

When the rain gradually subsided into a drizzle, Yimei arrived with several of her males.

Upon hearing the news, Si Shuo quickly had Ji Liang take her back to their house. 𝒇𝒓𝙚𝒆𝔀𝓮𝓫𝒏𝓸𝙫𝓮𝓵.𝓬𝙤𝙢

Yimei’s face was still a bit pale. She had clearly given birth not long ago and hadn’t fully recovered, yet she had rushed over to find her.

"What brings you here at a time like this?" Si Shuo smiled, welcoming her in and serving her a cup of hot milk.

Yimei beckoned to the two little ones behind her, revealing a pair of adorably clumsy Saber-toothed Tiger cubs.

Si Shuo had a suspicion but pretended not to know, looking at Yimei with feigned confusion.

"He Xia and He Qiu’s aptitudes are quite good. Don’t be fooled by their young age—He Xia has awakened a lightning superpower just like his Father, and He Qiu is incredibly strong. Their starting point is high and their potential is great. Among all my cubs, they’re the only ones I can say are presentable..."
