Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children

Chapter 575 - 574: What’s So Abnormal About What It Attracted?

But upon receiving his mate’s compassionate gaze, Yin Jiang exhaled slowly. He was healthy now, with a mate and cubs. He was no longer that pitiful male from before, whose life hung by a thread, stripped of all dignity and barely clinging to life.

He chuckled softly, wrapped an arm around Si Shuo’s waist, and kissed her on the forehead. "Shuo’er, I’m fine. I was just thinking that if I hadn’t met you back then, I’m afraid I’d be nothing but a pile of white..."

Si Shuo pressed both hands over his mouth and turned her head to spit theatrically. Her eyes were sparkling as she said, "Yin Jiang, don’t say such foolish things! There are no ’what-ifs’ in this world. The fact is, you’re standing right here in front of me, alive and well!"

Yin Jiang smiled and nodded, hugging her tightly. His past was too painful, like an indelible brand seared into his very bones, a memory he would carry for a lifetime.

Having suffered such humiliation, he dedicated every moment he wasn’t with his mate to intense Cultivation, honing his abilities and growing stronger. It also made him extremely vigilant.

He looked at the unconscious White Fox Cub, checked the little one’s wounds, and said in a low voice, "These are fresh injuries. The chance of a full recovery is over eighty percent right now. In two or three days, that will drop to sixty or seventy percent. Within a month, it will be fifty percent. For a good recovery after that, he’d probably need a Regeneration Ability of his own. Otherwise, a thirty percent chance is just too low..."

Yin Jiang’s Regeneration Ability was different from that of some sea beasts. The parts regenerated by sea beasts were clearly weaker, as if they had a congenital defect. It was difficult for them to compare to the original part; achieving sixty to seventy percent of the original’s function was considered quite good.

But Yin Jiang’s Regeneration Ability perfectly replicated the original part. It was a higher level of regeneration!

The problem now was that they didn’t know anything about the little one’s circumstances. Should they risk exposing Yin Jiang’s heaven-defying Regeneration Ability in order to treat him?

Si Shuo’s eyes lit up. She grabbed Yin Jiang’s arm and whispered, "Yin Jiang, could you use your Regeneration Ability to seal his wounds for now, preserving their vitality so they can be regenerated at any time in the future?"

Yin Jiang paused, contemplating for a moment. "I’ll try," he said.

He possessed the Regeneration Ability, and spurred on by his mate, he would use any free time to ponder how to maximize his superpower and explore its potential variations.

It wasn’t just him; the other males and cubs in the family also enjoyed experimenting. As a result, their understanding and control over their respective superpowers were unmatched by other Beastmen.

He quickly devised a solution based on Si Shuo’s proposal. He could concentrate his Regeneration Ability, wrapping it into spheres like layered candy to cover the wounds. The outer layers of these spheres would have very low regenerative power, which would grow stronger closer to the core.

The inner layers would only be triggered once the regenerative effect of the outer layers was exhausted. With this continuous application of regenerative power, the vitality of the wound tissue would be preserved!

He ran the idea through his mind over and over. Once certain there were no issues, Yin Jiang began to form the regeneration spheres. Each was only the size of a grain of rice, but it contained a significant amount of energy. The process consumed the equivalent of an entire Level 10 Crystal Stone.

He flicked the regeneration spheres one by one into the little one’s wounds. In moments, the waterlogged, pale gashes that were still bleeding sealed shut as if they had been stitched, and the bleeding stopped.

By the time he collapsed to the ground in exhaustion, the little one’s wounds looked as smooth and delicate as new skin. Whether his wings would be regrown would depend on if he proved worthy of their trust and assistance.

Si Shuo took out a Level 16 Crystal Stone, popped it into Yin Jiang’s mouth, and said with a smile, "Thank you for your hard work, Yin Jiang."

Yin Jiang wrapped his arm around her shoulders and greedily buried his face in the crook of her neck. He shook his head slightly. "It was nothing. Just a small effort, but it might save his life."

He was grateful to the Beast God for sending his mate to him and granting him a new life. So now, he was willing to grant this little one an opportunity as a way of repaying the Beast God.

Perhaps this was a form of karma, an inevitable link in the chain of cause and effect.

In the Guiping Beast Country, the Fox Clan was one of the noble Beast Clans. White Foxes were especially revered, and this little one even had a pair of wings.

Ji Liang teleported the little one directly to a cave east of Guanping City and handed him over to people assigned by Wei Jin to watch over him. After giving a few instructions, he teleported back to Si Shuo’s side.

After eating and taking a short nap, Si Shuo and the others started to head back.

Although the males couldn’t shift into their beast forms, they were physically powerful and could run quite fast. Furthermore, Gong You would occasionally give them a time buff.

The riverbank was dangerous at night. The river was wide, and who knew what Wild Beasts or depraved Beastmen lurked in the murky water. The sun was already beginning to set, and most Beastmen were preparing to head back to their caves.

They hadn’t gone far when troops of grim-faced, uniformly-dressed Beast Soldiers ran over, carrying various kinds of Crossbows. The young commander leading them announced in a deep voice, "Everyone, do not panic. Line up and cooperate with the inspection, then leave in an orderly fashion. If anyone fails to cooperate and ends up getting hurt or killed, we will take no responsibility!"

Intimidated by the Crossbows, the Beastmen were furious but dared not speak out, so they had no choice but to line up.

Some of the Beast Soldiers maintained order, while others herded people along the riverbank, subjecting any suspicious-looking Beastman to a rough inspection.

Whenever Si Shuo and her group were out, Xu Chi and Little Ye generally remained in their Invisibility state to handle unexpected situations. Now, Xu Chi silently slipped away from the crowd to gather information.

"Did something big happen?"

"I heard a group of Beastmen got mauled by Cannibal Fish Beasts just now. It was a gruesome, bloody scene. Several of them were stripped to the bone... I’ve always heard the river is unsafe, that it hides lots of ferocious Wild Beasts and vicious Rogue Beasts... I think someone said these Cannibal Fish were intentionally lured here..."

Xu Chi moved silently, absorbing all the information he heard and committing it to memory. Every so often, he would write it down and place the note on the Space Stone Table so that Si Shuo and the others could stay updated on the situation.

After listening for a while, he found that everyone was just discussing the Cannibal Fish, with no other information available. He spread his wings and took flight, surveying the area. On a raised platform, he spotted a male wearing a white Beast Skin cloak, accompanied by a female and surrounded by numerous Beast Soldiers. His status was clearly special. As Xu Chi drew closer, the Bone Token he carried began to grow warm!

Xu Chi lowered his gaze, a cold light glinting within his eyes. But he himself remained as imperceptible as air, with no presence whatsoever.

"Xu Feng, it must have been that cub whose blood attracted the Cannibal Fish when his wings were cut off. He’s the one chosen by the Beast God, and his bloodline is powerful, so what’s so strange about it attracting something? Even Yuan Qi and his group couldn’t handle it—they lost three people, and each of them had chunks of flesh torn from their bones before they managed to escape. That little cub is surely dead!" Yuan Ya asked in a confused whisper.

The wind was rather strong on the high platform, and the Beast Soldiers stood at a distance, so the pair had no fear of being overheard as they whispered.
