Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 279 - 278: Wailing Loudly

Seeing the little one was even angrier than she was, Si Shuo’s own anger subsided a bit. She curiously patted Yuanyuan’s head. "What’s wrong? Who’s upset our Yuan Yuan?"

Yuanyuan huffed and then began her performance.

One moment, she was pinching her voice to imitate Yichu; the next, she adopted Jiang Guo’s overly narcissistic tone. She vividly re-enacted the mother and son’s entire conversation, word for word.

Now the males were getting agitated, every one of them clenching their fists.

Gong You looked at Wei Ce. "You handle this. If that... that Black Wolf dares to show his face around my precious cub, I’ll absolutely..."

"Knock all his teeth out," Si Shuo finished, furious. "How can they be so shameless? Do they think we’re the ones clinging to them, that they can just push us around and humiliate us as they please?"

’How are those people’s brains even wired? Why would they think that if they ’chose’ me, my only option would be to be eternally grateful, rather than to refuse?’

Wei Ce’s lips were pressed into a thin line. The usually sunny and energetic male was now radiating dejection, anger, and helplessness. "Shuo, I’m sorry. Don’t worry, this time my Father and I won’t back down again."

"From the moment Father took me and left the Black Wolf Clan, we had already cut all ties with her."

"In recent years, seeing that I’d become a Fourteenth-level Warrior and a Vice Admiral in the barracks, she’s pretended to run into me several times."

"But I always ignored her and just let her make her snide remarks behind my back."

"Later..." His voice faltered, and he glanced nervously at Si Shuo before continuing in a low voice, "She even tried to interfere with my mating, bringing a Female Saint from her maternal clan to me, wanting me to offer up my Beast Mark."

"I walked away without even giving her a glance! But that Female Saint came looking for me and refused to leave. She said I either had to become her Beast Husband, or she would pick another male from her clan who still had a Beast Mark and high Combat Power!"

"My... The Yichu Saintess once despised this sort of thing, but now she’s become a proponent of marriage for clan alliances, willing to sacrifice my future..."

Si Shuo laughed in anger. "I see. She’s just coasting on the fact that she was once Father Wei Jin’s female and gave birth to you, so she thinks she’s entitled to do whatever she wants."

"You and your father are just pawns for her to gain power and wealth!"

Her eyes darted, and with a smile, she stepped forward and took Wei Ce’s arm. The sudden change in her expression startled everyone. ’Has the little female been driven mad by anger?’ they wondered. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

"Brother Ce, she probably thinks Father Wei Jin still has feelings for her, which is why she’s putting on such smug airs."

"If Father finds a new female and they live a happy life together, she’ll absolutely be consumed with envy, jealousy, and hate."

Wei Ce sighed and said helplessly, "I don’t think Father has any interest in that, especially now that he has Tuanzi and Yuanyuan. He feels his life as a beastman is complete and doesn’t want anything else."

"It would probably take him a few years to adjust his mindset and meet a suitable little female before he’d even consider giving his Beast Mark again." ’It’s definitely not happening anytime soon!’

Si Shuo chuckled softly and said, "Then, Brother Ce, just tell Father this..."

Everyone who heard the plan muffled their laughter. ’As expected of her,’ they thought, ’killing so many birds with one stone!’

Wei Ce’s expression relaxed as well. "Alright, I’ll go give it a try?"

Xiao Cheng came forward, pulled him aside, and whispered with him for a long while before patting his shoulder and saying with a smile, "Brother Ce, some relationships have to be cut cleanly, or else they’ll come back to cause you trouble."

"Before, it didn’t matter if it was just you. But now that you have our sister and the cubs, you have to be firm. Make them wary enough that they won’t dare try any funny business."

Wei Ce felt that deeply. It was just like this time, when Yichu and Jiang Guo completely disregarded Si Shuo’s wishes, treating her just like they treated him and his father—as someone they could manipulate at will.

He nodded heavily. "Not anymore. This time, we’ll let the Yichu Saintess know that my father and I have already started a new life. We won’t let her keep taking from us."

"As long as her greed is insatiable, as long as she keeps trying to use us and disturb our lives, then whatever she cares about, I’ll make her lose it!"

Even a worm will turn. Before, he and his father didn’t have much they cared about, so they let Yichu ruin their reputations as she pleased. But now he had his own little female and cubs. They were his bottom line.

The moment Wei Ce left, not a single one of the four cubs was left—they had all gone to watch the show!

Si Shuo facepalmed. Xu Ye could fly and use Invisibility; Xuyou’s personal space was filled with snacks; Tuanzi was a little foodie who stuck to his sister like glue; and Yuanyuan, who was eloquent and could also fly, was hardly a quiet child either.

She turned to Xu Chi. "Should we go for a stroll?"

Xu Chi smiled, stepped forward, took her hand, and activated his Invisibility. Xiao Cheng seized the opportunity to grab Si Shuo’s other hand and went along with them!

The remaining males looked at each other and shook their heads in amusement. They could already imagine that as they had more cubs in the future, this gossip-loving, show-watching entourage would only grow larger.

Wei Ce walked up to Wei Jin with his head hung low, plopped down, and let out a long sigh.

Wei Jin was in the middle of discussing the Harvest Festival with the elders. Seeing his son suddenly act this way, he frowned and ended the conversation in just a few words.

Once the others had left, he asked with amusement, "What’s all this?"

Ever since his son found his little female, had there been a single day he wasn’t grinning like a fool? The smile never left his face, as if he wanted the entire world to know just how happy he was.

It was rare to see him looking so dejected, which made Wei Jin curious.

Wei Ce pressed his lips together and said in a flat tone, "The Yichu Saintess pitched her tent right next to our home. She even put on the airs of an elder and talked to my Shuo until she was sobbing her heart out."

"I... I’ve never seen Shuo so hurt before. The brothers at home are angry with me, so they kicked me out. They said... that since Shuo has already given me cubs, she’s done more than enough for me, and if I want to... to follow in your footsteps, Father, then I should just keep letting the Yichu Saintess bully Shuo..."

"My heart aches for Shuo, and she really likes me too! Our situation is different from yours and the Yichu Saintess’s!"

"I don’t want to leave Shuo, not for the rest of my life..."

At this, he covered his face, his voice muffled and trembling as if he were crying.

Hearing this, Wei Jin’s expression turned exceptionally grim. He let out a long sigh and patted Wei Ce’s shoulder. "Wei Ce, it’s Father who has wronged you. If I had been as persistent as you back then and chosen a little female we both liked, you wouldn’t have had to suffer along with me, living a hard life without a Mother. And now, I’ve even caused your little female to suffer."

"Don’t worry, I’ll go make them move their camp in a bit. I absolutely will not let her get near Si Shuo and sicken her!"

Ordinarily, Wei Ce would have said it wasn’t Wei Jin’s fault, since no one could have predicted what would happen.

At the time, even though Yichu was unhappy with her clan’s arrangement, she had acted delicate and meekly married into the Iron-eating Beast Clan, not showing the slightest hint of anything amiss. Wei Jin was the one who had been deceived; what fault did the victim have?

But Wei Ce had to create a sense of urgency in Wei Jin, so he continued in a muffled voice, "Father, do you know what the Yichu Saintess and Jiang Guo think of you?"
