Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 402 - 401: You Don’t Know How Outrageous He Is
Xiao Zhuang clenched his fists in anger, refusing to even glance at Xiao Cheng. He said coldly, "What? Did your little female kick you out and send you packing? Or are you here to participate in the clan’s Warrior competition?"
Xiao Cheng just smiled. "Xiao Zhuang, you can figure it out with a twitch of your tail. How could I possibly look like I’ve been kicked out by my little female? Obviously, she adores me, so I’m bringing my female and our cubs home to visit family.
Alas, you don’t even have a female yet, Xiao Zhuang. You probably can’t understand this kind of excitement..."
Si Shuo couldn’t resist pinching Xiao Cheng’s tail. When he finally shut up with a muffled grunt, she was torn between exasperation and amusement. ’This fox is such an instigator! My fists are itching.’
’But he’s mine. I can’t hit him, and I can’t scold him. What else can I do but grit my teeth, play along, and spoil him?’
"Darling, everyone’s watching. Don’t touch my tail... I’ll let you have your fill of it later," Xiao Cheng whispered in a low, husky voice.
Si Shuo pinched him a little harder and glared, silently warning him. ’Xiao Cheng, that’s enough! If you keep showing off like this, I’m going to pull the rug out from under you!’
This time, Xiao Cheng actually shut his mouth.
Xiao Zhuang glanced at the little female sheltered by Xiao Cheng’s tail and smiled as well. "In that case, I wonder... if I defeat you, might I have a chance to catch the Si Shuo Divine Female’s eye?"
"No chance!" Xiao Cheng’s fur bristled, and he couldn’t help but bare his teeth. "You’re not as handsome as me, you’re not as sweet-tongued, and you don’t know how to act cute and shamelessly flirt. And your paltry Twelfth Level strength is hardly worth mentioning.
My little female would never be interested in you."
He was starting to regret it. ’It’s enough for me to know how wonderful my little female is. There’s no need for anyone else to see it!’
The males behind them laughed in exasperation. This fox was digging his own trap. Look at that, they hadn’t even entered the city gates and other males were already setting their sights on his little female.
"Sss... I’m starting to feel uneasy about letting Little Shuoshuo come to Zhuan City with Xiao Cheng," Ji Liang sneered. "This dumb fox had better not recruit another Couple Brother for us."
Wei Ce clenched his fists. "They’ll have to get past me first!"
It wasn’t that the males distrusted their little female, but the Fox Clan was notoriously skilled at Charm. They were afraid that if they let their guard down for even a second, someone would exploit the opening.
Gong You’s eyes narrowed, a slight smile playing on his lips. "Xiao Cheng won’t give anyone the chance."
Xiao Zhuang didn’t waste any more words, simply smiling. "Then we’ll just have to wait and see. I hope you don’t regret bringing your little female back to the clan."
With that, he stepped aside to let them pass.
Xiao Cheng took a deep breath. ’People from his faction are the absolute worst.’ He held Si Shuo protectively and hurried into the city.
"Shuoshuo, remember how those people in the clan thought I was going to become a Female Saint? They had already picked out fiancés for me. Besides Yin Jiang and Chu Ming, that Xiao Zhuang was one of them too. They were afraid I’d slip from their control, so they wanted to add another shackle! I couldn’t stand the sight of that Xiao Zhuang even back then.
You have no idea how awful he is," Xiao Cheng huffed, ranting to Si Shuo. "Remember how I used to sneak out to play when I was little? I’d hear him telling everyone that he was going to be my Beast Husband and that he was the next Clan Leader. That my whole family would have to be stationed here with him. And that everything I had was thanks to his family.
Pah! Misleading everyone into thinking I was a female, planning out my future, all to benefit the clan, and they expected me to be grateful! In their dreams!"
Si Shuo ruffled his hair. "Don’t be angry, Xiao Cheng. Did he never consider that even if he became your husband, you could just ignore him? Or even break the contract?"
Xiao Cheng snorted. "That’s what I’m saying—his Mother must have forgotten to give him a brain when he was born. All he thought about was being the Clan Leader’s son and how he could use me to control everyone else. He forgot that a female can break a marriage contract, even at the risk of weakening her own body! What makes him think he’s better than everyone else and has the absolute final say?"
Si Shuo nodded in agreement. Some people really weren’t the sharpest tools in the shed, possessing a baffling self-confidence, as if everyone else was supposed to put them on a pedestal.
Along the way, everyone who saw Xiao Cheng mistook him for Xiao Zhao. But Xiao Cheng would just stop with a beaming smile, forcing the males and cubs trailing behind him to stop as well, serving speechlessly as his background props.
"Auntie, I’m Xiao Cheng! Xiao Zhao’s littermate brother, the one who married into a family in Guangshou City. My little female is the Si Shuo Divine Female, and these are my two cubs. Aren’t they cute?
And those guys behind me are my brothers and their cubs..."
"Xiao Cheng? You mean the one who almost became a Female Saint and was promised to the Eagle Clan’s Young Master, Yin Jiang?" someone asked, a look of sudden realization on their face.
"Yes, yes, that’s him! Yin Jiang, my Couple Brother!" Xiao Cheng puffed out his chest, head held high with pride.
Si Shuo and the males behind them all wanted to strangle him. ’That darn fox! They had been fooled by how well-behaved and uncompetitive he usually was. That’s why they had all been happy to do him this favor and accompany him to Zhuan City.’
’And what was the result? He was even showing off his Couple Brothers. They weren’t nearly as shameless as he was.’ 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮
Everyone’s gazes immediately shot toward Yin Jiang. Yin Jiang! The legendary reborn Warrior of the Eagle Clan! The one whose wings had been clipped and Dantian gouged out, yet had managed to grow them back completely!
"Xiao Cheng, you’re so blessed! Your little female is so good to you, bringing all her Beast Husbands and their cubs just to escort you home for a visit?" The crowd was green with envy.
Not wanting to be gawked at like a monkey in a zoo, Si Shuo pinched Xiao Cheng’s ear and said expressionlessly, "Xiao Cheng, I’m hungry. Can we please hurry home now?"
Xiao Cheng grinned and nodded repeatedly. ’Of course we can. As long as some people know, that’s enough.’ He figured that given the gossipy nature of the Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan Members, news about him would surely be spread far and wide.
By the time they arrived at his family home, Luo Sang, Xiao Chun, and the rest of the family were already waiting at the wide-open door.
"Father, Mother, I’ve brought my little female and our cubs home to see you!" Xiao Cheng’s bellow was so loud it startled the pair of cubs on his back.
Luo Sang smiled and nodded. After exchanging greetings with Si Shuo, her gaze fell upon the pair of beautiful, plump little fox cubs.
"Grandma! Grandpa!" they chirped in their sweet, childish voices.
"Yes, yes, my good grandcubs." As Luo Sang spoke, she took out a pair of pearls wrapped in woven, colorful string and placed them on the two little ones. "These are Gathering Spirit Pearls. Your Grandpa found them and wanted to give them to his grandcubs. Now’s the perfect time."
The two cubs thanked her gleefully.
Zhuan City covered a large area, but its Beastman population was smaller than Guangshou City’s. Furthermore, the Three-tailed Fox Clan was a major clan, and Luo Sang was the clan’s Witch Doctor, so their family had a rather large estate.
After their meal, Xiao Cheng took the family for a stroll through the market. Afterward, the other males took the cubs and bid farewell to Si Shuo, leaving only Zhi Zhan to stay with her.
Seeing that his brothers had all left, Xiao Cheng’s tail began to wag noticeably faster. Even the two cubs could hardly keep their own fox tails from showing their excitement.
"I challenge you!" A female with delicate features but a very curvaceous figure suddenly blocked Si Shuo’s path, her chin tilted up defiantly.
Si Shuo??!!
