Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 301 - 300: In Your Dreams

Hmph. Just as expected of Mi Xing and her family. They have a crystal-clear understanding of what the Rogue Beasts and all the Beastman clans and tribes in the city are thinking.

’She’s truly come to hate the Iron-eating Beast Clan!’

Seeing the cold fury in the young female’s eyes, Ji Liang pulled her into his arms. "Little Shushu, this has nothing to do with you. Anyone who truly wants what’s best for the Iron-eating Beast Clan would have made the same choice."

"We can’t hide everything that makes us exceptional just because we’re afraid of others’ envy."

"Our Little Shushu is so beautiful and kind that even the Beast God favors you. We’re going to lead everyone in planting the fields so that next year’s harvest can ease the burden on every family."

"This is a perfect opportunity. We’ll see exactly which clans and tribes are involved. Then, when we teach everyone how to farm, we’ll just exclude them!"

Si Shuo nodded emphatically. "Exactly. There’s no reason for them to reap all the benefits without being the least bit grateful. In any case, we use the good seeds, and we give the outsiders the kind that can only be planted once."

"Hmph. Once the Iron-eating Beast Clan is gone, they won’t be able to get any more of our superior seeds."

Xiao Cheng, gnawing on a spicy, crispy fried chicken leg, sneered with narrowed eyes. "If they can rally the Rogue Beasts from the outskirts, then we can spread the news that Rogue Beasts are infiltrating the city. We’ll see how everyone reacts then."

"They can stand by and watch today, but tomorrow, when they’re the ones being attacked by Rogue Beasts, the other tribes and clans will just watch coldly, too. They’ll be wiped out one by one, only fueling the arrogance of those Rogue Beasts!"

Si Shuo hummed in agreement. "That’s a great idea. We’ll set an open trap and corner them. Let’s see if the Rogue Beasts dare to try again."

"If they come, we’ll make sure it’s a one-way trip!"

Xu Chi said in a low voice, "I’ll go with Xiao Cheng. I can turn invisible, and he can transform. We’ll visit a few gossipy households and drop a few words. We’ll cover every corner of the Beast City—north, south, east, west, and center."

"No need, Brother Xu Chi," Xiao Cheng said, waving his hand with a smile. "With Invisibility and Teleportation Talismans, I can go alone. There are a lot of cubs at home, and I’m worried my sister and Brother Ji Liang won’t be able to manage them all on their own."

’He was more afraid of misspeaking and having Xu Chi, who hung on the young female’s every word, repeat it to Si Shuo.’

"All right. Xiao Cheng, you’ll go alone. Be careful. The moment you sense anything is wrong, get out of there immediately or teleport back," Si Shuo instructed seriously.

Xiao Cheng smiled, stepped forward, and knelt on one knee, resting his head on her lap. "I know you’re worried about me, Sister. Don’t be. It’s just spreading a few words. If I can’t even handle a small task like this, I’d be too ashamed to come back."

Suppressing his aura, he slapped an Invisibility Talisman on himself and vanished. Then he began using one Teleportation Talisman after another.

Using each teleportation destination as a central point, he’d scout the surrounding area, pick a few houses where people were still up and chattering, and then begin his one-man show.

"Hey, Zhang San, let me tell you something. We’ve got this farmhand, see? He was talking to the neighbor’s farmhand, and I happened to overhear! Turns out, both those males are Rogue Beasts from outside the city. They usually seem so honest and hardworking, but how can they be so vicious? You know what they said?"

"They said they’re planning to attack the city while our High-level Warriors are away. They were shouting about going straight for the Iron-eating Beast Clan and telling the other Beastman clans and tribes to stay out of it!"

"HISS..." A second, rougher voice chimed in angrily, "Li Si, is that a diversion tactic? Who knows how much stuff they’ll loot from families without any connections along the way... After all, they work inside the city. They know everyone’s situation better than we do! They’ve got a lot of nerve, going directly after the Iron-eating Beast Clan..."

"Tell me about it! I heard the Iron-eating Beast Clan had a huge harvest this year, and their Female Saint said she’s going to lead everyone in planting high-yield crops next year."

"They’re saying that once they have those seeds and control of the Female Saint, the entirety of Guangshou City will be under their thumb. Then, for the sake of getting seeds, people will have to attack whoever they point to."

"With the Iron-eating Beast Clan gone, the other smaller clans will have to make way for them too..."

Hearing this, the Pika Clan members inside the house trembled in fear. Rogue Beasts were notoriously savage and greedy. The only ones permitted to work in the city had to pass multiple screenings to confirm they were honest, willing to endure hardship, and had work experience.

’Who knew their hearts were so black! If those Rogue Beasts took control of Guangshou City, what place would be left for the Pika Clan?’

"Sigh... They’re banking on the fact that the clans and tribes in our city only look out for themselves and can’t unite. That’s why they plan to pick us off one by one. If the Iron-eating Beast Clan is wiped out and those scoundrels get their way, everyone’s morale will be crushed. It won’t be long before we all fall under their control!"

"Just think about it, Li Si. What do you think will happen when the Beast City is run by Beastmen who’ve been starving, homeless, and without mates for ages?" The rough voice was filled with despair.

The people in the room felt their hearts tighten as they couldn’t help but follow that terrifying train of thought.

’What else could happen? The males would waste all the food, snatch the females, and abuse the cubs—or just leave them to die...’

’They couldn’t bear the thought of any of it!’

Xiao Cheng hadn’t spelled everything out, but he had guided their thoughts, and they would connect the dots themselves.

"But if we all band together to protect the Iron-eating Beast Clan and slaughter these Rogue Beasts, it would also put the fear into that other group outside the city—the ones who are always stirring up trouble and are bound to make a move sooner or later... Zhang San, I’m telling you this so you can find some tough guys to go and support the Iron-eating Beast Clan. But don’t you dare breathe a word of this to anyone, or the Rogue Beasts will catch on and we’ll lose our chance to trap them..."

"And if we help the Iron-eating Beast Clan, you think they won’t reward us? When they hand out seeds next year, you and I will be first in line... Maybe we can even convince them to let one of our cubs into their school for free..."

Xiao Cheng repeated similar conversations for other Beastmen, changing the combination of phrases and his tone each time.

Those Beastmen subconsciously cast themselves in the role of eavesdroppers, holding their breath and listening intently, terrified of being discovered.

By the time he had made his way through the entire Beast City, Xiao Cheng’s throat had gone hoarse several times. He took a Revitalizing Pill to treat it, only teleporting home as the sky began to grow light at dawn.

Thanks to his stirring, many Beastmen in the city couldn’t sleep a wink. They stayed up all night until dawn, then rushed to share the news with friends and family, desperate to discuss a solution.

Anyone who could become a clan patriarch or a tribal leader in the Beast City was far from stupid. They carried the wisdom of generations in their very bones. At the very least, if they couldn’t solve the problem themselves, they could consult with clans or tribes they were on good terms with.

No one knew for sure if the rumor was true, but they had to devise countermeasures regardless!
