Chapter 196: Chapter 196

Si Yan gently patted She Wang and said softly, "Well done."

Then she added, "Go brush your teeth when you get back."

After Si Yan left, Bao Lin stamped her feet in frustration. She turned around to complain to Xue Lin.

"Father, you actually sided with an outsider to bully your own daughter! How could you do this?!"

While speaking, Bao Lin threw herself at He Mei. "Mother, Father is siding with an outsider to bully me! Your daughter is almost bullied to death! Please talk to him."

Xue Lin looked at Bao Lin’s wound and said, "There’s no snake venom; it’s just a lesson for you. Let it go."

Bao Lin was livid. "How can we let it go?! That Si Yan let the snake bite me! How can we just let it go?!"

Xue Lin lectured her, "Look at yourself. What do you do all day? Si Yan can brew wine and do arithmetic; what can you do? If you were half as skilled as Si Yan, I wouldn’t say a thing. But look at you! You lost the fight and aren’t as capable as others. All you do is become jealous and envious! Even if you are female, you can’t be indulged forever. It will only bring you harm in the future."

That was just her father Xue Lin’s temperament; he seized every opportunity to give her a thorough scolding.

Not wanting to listen to the nagging, Bao Lin choked up a bit and said, "Father, how can you talk to me ? I’m your daughter! Have you forgotten how much suffering and hardship Mother went through when she gave birth to me? Don’t you care for me at all? Even if you don’t care for me, you should at least feel for Mother!"

He Mei: "..." She had no desire to get involved.

But... did Xue Lin not feel for her?

He Mei glared at Xue Lin furiously.

"...This." Xue Lin’s temper immediately softened.

Bao Lin continued, "So what if that Si Yan can do arithmetic? Can she compare to our sage?"

"Bao Lin! She can do arithmetic, and she’s not bad at it. As for how skilled she is, that’s not for you to judge!"

Bao Lin scoffed, "Hmph. Father, you just wait! I’ll go call our sage right now, and I’m going to beat Si Yan, this fake arithmetician, in a contest! I’ll show you that female isn’t all that great!"

Saying this, Bao Lin stormed off.

Bao Lin ran all the way to the bird cave of the Myriad Beasts City Bird Clan’s Sage, the Grey Parrot Beastman.

"Uncle Grey! Uncle Grey! Bao Lin is being bullied! Please help me!"

After Bao Lin burst in, she saw the green Golden Crystal Beastman from before. It was Green Parrot, the Green Parrot Golden Crystal Beastman who had blocked a strike from She Wang during her previous conflict with Si Yan.

Green Parrot and Grey Parrot were twin brothers, born at the same time, and they were very close. Newest update provided by Novᴇl_Fire(.)net

Therefore, Bao Lin wasn’t surprised to see Green Parrot.

"Uncle Green." Green Parrot had a strong presence, which made Bao Lin restrain herself a bit.

Grey Parrot set aside the wooden plank with a series of numbers recorded on it and turned to look at Bao Lin, smiling warmly. "Why is our little Bao Lin being bullied?"

Bao Lin, on the verge of tears, said, "It’s that female named Si Yan! She not only hit me, but she also went to my father and snitched on me."

Grey Parrot and Green Parrot exchanged glances. Confusion was written on their faces as Grey Parrot asked, "Oh? She went to complain, but surely Xue Lin wouldn’t believe her over you."

Bao Lin grew even more furious. "You don’t know! She was showing off in front of my father, boasting about how she can brew wine and do arithmetic. What does she even know?! Once my father heard she could do arithmetic, he wouldn’t listen to me. Whatever she says goes, and whatever I say is worthless!"

The Grey Parrot Beastman and Green Parrot Beastman looked at each other again, Grey Parrot’s eyes lighting up.

"She can do arithmetic too?"

"Uncle Grey, you must come with me! I want to expose her mask and pretense. She claims she can do arithmetic; I want everyone to see that she actually knows nothing!!"

The Grey Parrot Beastman stood up and said, "Let’s go! Let’s go see it together!"

When Si Yan returned home, Dongchi and Nan Mo were not there.

Si Yan searched all over and asked, "Yin Hong, have you seen Dongchi and Nan Mo?"

Yin Hong finished arranging the wine jars and turned back with a smile. "Si Yan, those two little ones, Dongchi Nanmo, said they wanted to ease your burden and went out to find ways to make money."

Si Yan was surprised. "...They’ve gone out to make money? What kind of money can they make? They’re not even five years old!"

Thinking about such small cubs running off, Si Yan grew worried. "I’ll go and bring them back."

Yin Hong said, "Si Yan, male cubs, as long as they’re capable, can help out. Being able to earn money will give them a great sense of achievement."

"Besides, they’re both Beast Crystal Beastmen now. In terms of hunting recognition, they already qualify."

She Wang had indeed said something before.

However, Si Yan didn’t quite agree. After all, the cubs were too young.

In her world, such young cubs didn’t need to work.

She Chuan also came out at this moment and said, "Madam, Yin Hong is right. Male children who are always protected won’t grow up."

"Snake Beastman cubs also need space to grow freely. We Snake Beastmen are also special; many races despise us, so the cubs need to adapt to this world earlier. As their mother, you don’t need to constantly monitor their safety."

Si Yan asked, "She Chuan, why are you saying this too..."

She asked, "But what if they encounter danger, or if they come to harm?"

She Ying stated emotionlessly, "If they really face danger, go rescue them. If they are harmed, kill their enemies and avenge them. Everyone is very busy. Cubs who have formed a Beast Crystal cannot stay in the nest and be protected all the time."

With so many males persuading her, Si Yan couldn’t help but pause.

Was she wrong? Was it time to let go now?

The Emperor Purple Serpent Beastman HISSED by her head. "Yan Yan, it’s time to let go."

He wasn’t particularly fond of the cubs anyway and had long hoped Si Yan would let them be.

Si Yan’s eyelids twitched.

On the Beast World continent, can they really let Snake Beastman cubs go as soon as they form a Beast Crystal? Do they all let go so early?

But her cubs are only four, just a month shy of five. So young, and she has to let go?

However, what everyone said made sense.

In a world like the Beast World, which is so harsh on males and Snake Beastmen, overprotecting male Snake Beastman cubs truly isn’t love.

Si Yan said helplessly, "When they return later, I’ll talk to them."

With the cubs gone, Si Yan quietly stayed in her room. She immersed herself in her space to fiddle with the Electric Snake she kept there.

Ever since she snatched this Electric Snake from She Wang, it had been swaggering arrogantly in her space.

Except for that gecko, it feared nothing.

As a result, the coo-coo beasts, cack-cack beasts, and moo-moo beasts in Si Yan’s space scattered in terror.

Si Yan smacked it a couple of times, but it refused to behave and started a magical duel with her.

Si Yan discovered the Electric Snake’s power was extraordinary. So, using the Electric Snake, she began to both train and battle within her space.
