Chapter 202: Chapter 202

After the majestic male Sen Ran Beastman left, Xi Qing and Bei Ji still felt a surge of excitement. So cool! That Sen Ran Beastman just now was really so cool!! Suddenly, we have an idol, someone to worship!! We really, really want to become a male Sen Ran like him!! His speed was astonishing, supporting a huge stone with one hand and then tossing it away with ease. And he was fearless in a fight with Purple Crystal and Golden Crystal Beastmen! Too handsome, too cool, too amazing!

"Xi Qing, Bei Ji, are you two alright?" Jin Tong asked with concern.

Xi Qing and Bei Ji suppressed their excitement and shook their heads. "Uncle Jin, we’re fine!"

Jin Tong breathed a sigh of relief. "That’s good."

Despite being of a different species, Jin Tong felt a surprising fondness for these two Sen Ran cubs, to the point where he was especially panicked when he saw them nearly get into trouble. Thankfully, the adult Sen Ran Beastman had saved the cubs just in time; otherwise, the consequences of that huge stone falling on them would have been unimaginable. It’s just that giving up the Golden Insect Crystal was a bit of a pity, he reflected. But it was worth it for the safety of these two cubs.

Jin Tong continued to lead the two Sen Ran cubs through their training in the forest.

Xi Qing and Bei Ji coordinated exceptionally well. Under Jin Tong’s protection, they successfully killed a Red Crystal Bug and took its Insect Crystal as a trophy.

Following their success, the two cubs were even more exhilarated.

Jin Tong took a moment to rest with the cubs by the riverside.

However, it wasn’t long before an impressive silver wolf came running over quickly. The elegant silver wolf’s eyes suddenly brightened when he saw Xi Qing and Bei Ji.

Jin Tong paused, asking, "Is he someone you know?"

Xi Qing and Bei Ji turned around and immediately waved excitedly. "Uncle Tai Seng!!" "Uncle Tai Seng!!!"

The silver wolf Beastman stopped in front of Xi Qing and Bei Ji, and hesitated for a moment when he saw the shiny Golden Crystal Beastman, asking Xi Qing and Bei Ji, "Who is he?"

Xi Qing and Bei Ji replied, "Uncle Tai Seng, Uncle Jin Tong is our lifesaver."

Hearing this, Tai Seng’s expression became much more pleasant. "Hello, I am Tai Seng. I am their mother’s Guardian Beast." It turned out they were a family.

Jin Tong sat back down and said, "Xi Qing, Bei Ji, someone from your family has come for you."

Tai Seng transformed into human form and took a seat opposite them.

Jin Tong asked, "Red Crystal Beastman, are you just a Guardian Beast?"

Jin Tong couldn’t help but appraise Xi Qing and Bei Ji’s mother. A Red Crystal Beastman with decent talent can’t even be a Beast Husband, only a Guardian Beast. Such extravagance!

Xi Qing excitedly asked Tai Seng, "Tai Seng, you’re here! Did our mother come too?"

Tai Seng replied happily, "Your mother is already in Myriad Beasts City; she was the one who sent me to find you."

Bei Ji was overjoyed. "Mother came too? That’s great!"

"Will you come back home with me now?" Tai Seng glanced at Jin Tong. "Or will you continue training with him?"

Tai Seng noted Xi Qing and Bei Ji’s Beast Crystals had become Green Crystals. That’s probably thanks to this Golden Crystal Beastman’s help, he thought. He seems to have been very good to them and guided them earnestly. He concluded that if Xi Qing and Bei Ji wanted to stay, it would be a very good thing as well.

Xi Qing and Bei Ji exchanged glances. Xi Qing’s cheeks flushed as he touched his heart and said, "Uncle Tai Seng, knowing that mother is in Myriad Beasts City gives us peace of mind."

Bei Ji added, "Yes, it brings peace and anticipation. It feels like Mother is right by our side."

Xi Qing announced, "We won’t be going back for now."

Bei Ji nodded in agreement.

Tai Seng asked, "Why not?"

Xi Qing smiled. "I want to become stronger."

Bei Ji said, "As strong as that uncle from before."

We want to become strong, to become mighty snake Beastmen so we can protect our mother well! Just like that uncle protected us! We don’t want to be useless snake Beastmen!

Xi Qing said, "Besides, we promised Uncle Jin to help him find his sister."

Bei Ji also nodded. "We can’t go back without fulfilling our promise. But if mother is in Myriad Beasts City, we can see her when we go back there later!" This content belongs to Nov3lFɪre.ɴet

Tai Seng understood their thoughts very much and said, "Your mother sent me to find you; I can’t return empty-handed. While you’re in this forest, I’ll stay and protect you."

Tai Seng looked at Jin Tong and asked, "Senior, may I join you?"

Xi Qing and Bei Ji were cultivating in the forest, and he, too, wanted to stay and cultivate. His strength was still a bit short of breaking through to Purple Crystal, and he was indeed eager to do so to avoid failing to meet She Wang’s requirement and being expelled from the family.

Jin Tong bit on a foxtail grass stem and said, "As long as I am here, Xi Qing and Bei Ji don’t need your protection."

Tai Seng’s face showed embarrassment.

Xi Qing said, "Uncle Jin, Uncle Tai Seng is a good person; please let him stay."

Bei Ji also urged Jin Tong on behalf of Tai Seng, "Uncle Jin, Uncle Tai Seng has helped us a lot in the past; please let him stay."

Jin Tong couldn’t argue with them and finally said impatiently, "Alright, but on one condition."

Tai Seng said, "You name it."

Jin Tong spoke nonchalantly, "Little doggy, while you’re in this forest, you have to hunt. All Insect Crystals obtained from the hunt belong to me."

Tai Seng ignored the ’little doggy’ nickname and said without hesitation, "That’s fine."

Jin Tong said, "I’m here to find my sister, and until I do, I’m not letting Xi Qing and Bei Ji leave. If you’re not leaving either, you’ll have to follow me until we find her!"

Tai Seng replied, "Wherever Xi Qing and Bei Ji go, I will follow."

Jin Tong didn’t waste any more words. "That’s settled, then. Rest up if you need to; otherwise, let’s each go hunting."

Tai Seng looked out at the endless forest. Hunting here is a great opportunity for training,

These past few days, Dongchi and Nan Mo had been leaving early and returning late, bringing back a few Insect Crystals for Si Yan every day.

Just like She Ying had said, Dongchi and Nan Mo felt a great sense of achievement and joy from earning money.

Si Yan had secretly followed them once and, having discovered they were earning money through arithmetic, she let go of her worries and decided to let them try their hand on their own. Kids not even five years old, yet so clever! To think of such ways to help me earn money... they’re truly impressive! Just like the precocious children from the stories I read in my previous life!

So, when Dongchi and Nan Mo excitedly left the house this morning, Si Yan did not stop them.

The time to head to the auction was approaching.

Si Yan waited a while and finally, just before departure, She Wang returned.

Having come back to the tavern and found Si Yan, She Wang took out the bag of Insect Crystals he had hunted in the forest.

Looking at the bulging bag of Insect Crystals that She Wang brought, Si Yan exclaimed in surprise, "Did you hunt all these? So many in such a short time?"

The Sen Ran Beastman watched her surprised and astonished expression, a warmth spreading in his chest, and his lips curved into a slight smile. "Mhm."

He poured out the Insect Crystals; they looked extremely beautiful, gleaming brightly as they rolled out.

Si Yan was not surprised by the Red Crystals and only slightly surprised by the Purple Crystals, but she was completely astonished by the Jin Jing!

"Golden Insect Crystal?!!"

"They’re not stolen?"

His mouth curled up slightly. "No, they were hunted in the forest."

"Holy shit!" Si Yan abandoned civility. She held a Beast Crystal, looking at it over and over.

Damn it! I’ve been slogging away as an entrepreneurial capitalist, and it turns out to be less profitable than my Beast Husband’s single trip to the forest outside the city?

Si Yan looked at the large pile of Insect Crystals, then back at She Wang. This Beast Husband of hers... he really is quite... impressive.

She Wang looked at Si Yan and asked softly, his head slightly lowered, "Is it enough?"

Si Yan said, "It’s more than enough, absolutely enough." This isn’t just enough for the scar removal cream auction, she thought happily, I can probably also afford some other peculiar and likable items I come across!
