Chapter 352: Chapter 352
Jin Hong said sternly, "Dare they?!"
Han Shuang said, "No matter what Si Yan thinks, she is ultimately a cub with my blood flowing through her veins. She’s my daughter, and that will never change!" Check latest chapters at Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
Han Shuang looked at Jin Yao and Shi Bai, her eyes becoming complex and her expression softening. She spoke gently, like an ordinary loving mother, "Yao Yao, since you and my sons have no blood relation anyway, why not stop being siblings?"
Jin Yao said in fright, "Mother, even if we have no blood relation, we grew up together. I really do see them as my own brothers. Please don’t drive me away."
Han Shuang felt distressed seeing her nervous. What have they done to drive the child to such a state? She cursed Si Yan silently several times, then took Jin Yao’s hand and patted it gently to comfort her. "What I mean is, since there’s no blood relation, and I am their mother. How about this—you pick one of them, and I’ll make the arrangements for him to become your Zheng Xiong."
"As long as you couple with one of the five brothers, you can stay in the Golden Dragon Clan forever. No one will be able to drive you away!"
Corpse soldier Shi Bai’s eyelids twitched lightly.
Jin Yao was shocked, but she quickly understood.
Although Shi Bai was also a Golden Dragon, his status couldn’t compare to her five brothers.
If she could bond with one of them, she could stay in the Golden Dragon Clan.
As for Shi Bai... If the real Shi Bai were still alive, she would never let him endure the humiliation of going from a Zheng Xiong to an ordinary male. But the real Shi Bai was already dead. The one beside her... she knew, was not the Shi Bai she had adored, the one who had shone so brightly and had eyes only for her. This was indeed a good solution.
Jin Yao blushed and nodded shyly.
"I’ll leave it to Mother to arrange."
Si Yan was feeling stifled in the tavern.
After pestering She Wang for a long time, he finally agreed to take her, who should have been in postpartum confinement, out for a stroll.
The two eggs were entrusted to other brothers to help with the hatching.
Jin Tong, Jin Yang, and Jin Kun almost came to blows over who would get the chance to hatch the eggs.
Once outside the Delusional Tavern, Si Yan stretched lazily and took a deep breath of fresh air, delighted to be free.
She heard the people of Myriad Beasts City laughing and chatting.
Many Beastmen were looking forward to the upcoming Priest Competition.
The streets on either side of Myriad Beasts City looked somewhat different from when she first arrived.
She recalled that when she first came to Myriad Beasts City, there were shops and stalls, but not many. Most were simply a piece of beast hide laid on the ground.
But ever since the Delusional Tavern opened, the aesthetic of the shops had improved.
Beastmen, learning from the Delusional Tavern, began building small wooden structures.
Some built one story, others two.
The wood in the Beast World was very large, and the planks cut from it were big and wide. So, the buildings made with these large slabs looked quite nice.
Some of the more elaborate ones, like the Delusional Tavern, had a courtyard in front with tables and chairs for passing guests.
"It looks nicer now," Si Yan observed curiously.
Each building had its own unique tribal style, all different, creating a beautiful scene.
Si Yan excitedly tugged She Wang’s sleeve, "She Wang, what’s that shop for?"
She Wang said with an indulgent smile, "It’s probably selling some of the tribe’s local foods."
"Snacks? Street food?" Si Yan asked excitedly as she went in. Sure enough, she saw various snacks laid out on thin stone slabs.
The Beastman in the shop recognized Si Yan at once and said excitedly, "Wise Si Yan! Come in, come in! Many of the snacks here were inspired by your Wisdom Competition."
Si Yan looked over and indeed saw many roasted fruit slices; she even spotted several items that resembled noodles.
Si Yan looked through them all and bought a little of many kinds of food.
She asked with a smile, "I see many snacks here require roasting. Have you gotten used to using fire?"
"Yes, yes, we have! We’ve also learned to make charcoal. My older brother sells charcoal next door," the Beastman said, eagerly stuffing snacks into Si Yan’s hands.
"Wise Si Yan, the knowledge you’ve spread is so useful! Please take all of these. I don’t want your Insect Crystals."
Si Yan wanted to pay, but the owner was too enthusiastic. In the end, She Wang was laden with beast skin bags full of snacks.
Si Yan still held some snacks, eating as she walked.
"She Wang, look at this!"
A Beast World clothing shop.
Beastmen with nimble fingers had made various attractive clothes from beast skins.
There were one-piece beast skin dresses, two-piece outfits, and half-skirts.
There were also beast skin shoes, hats, belts, and so on.
Si Yan looked around curiously, and the Beastman owner of the shop immediately came over. "It’s Wise Si Yan! I’m so happy you could come to our shop!"
"Take whatever you like; I don’t want your money! Oh, you have no idea how much our Mistress adores you. She praises you to me every day and wants to be good friends with you."
"If you came here and didn’t take anything, she would definitely scold me if she found out!"
Si Yan hadn’t wanted to take anything, but the owner was so insistent that she ended up taking a fluffy red hat and putting it on.
With the hat on, Si Yan looked particularly comical. She Wang couldn’t help but laugh out loud.
After Si Yan and She Wang were laden with items, she visited a few more shops.
Some shops belonged to Witch Doctors, and she went in to exchange ideas for a while.
Others sold fruits and vegetables like Red Earth Fruit and Yellow Earth Fruit. Some shops specialized in selling wild beast meat.
The colorful array of shops delighted Si Yan as she explored.
Soon, they were almost completely weighed down with gifts generously given by the Beastmen.
As they walked along the street, the females and males in Myriad Beasts City watched them excitedly, their eyes full of eagerness.
Si Yan pushed She Wang in front of her and hid slightly behind him.
A male Beastman gushed, "Quick, look! That’s the Lady of the Lord! Oh my goodness, she’s so beautiful. Does she still want a Beast Husband? I wonder if I could make the cut. I really want to slave away for her!"
"The Wise Lady is so beautiful. Oh, I like her so much!"
"She was very beautiful during her pregnancy, and now she’s even more stunning after giving birth!"
"I really want to become her Beast Husband! Or even just a Guardian Beast would be fine!"
Females shrieked, "Look, that’s the Lord of Delusional Domain!"
"He’s so handsome, I want to have his cubs!"
"You all used to be so afraid of snake Beastmen, and now you all want to pounce on him. But he’s already taken!"
"I never knew snake Beastmen were so appealing before! So handsome, coolly devoted, and super, super, super strong! And he also has those two..."
Another person whispered, "Damn! Keep your voice down."
Si Yan’s eyebrows rose slightly. "You’re quite popular now, aren’t you?" she said, a hint of jealousy in her voice.
She Wang looked down at her. "Not as much as you."
Thanks to Si Yan’s efforts, the reputation of snake Beastmen had indeed been improving day by day. Now, people treated snake Beastmen with respect when they saw them.
This feeling was quite novel, and quite nice, he thought. After returning to the Delusional Domain, I’ll have to strictly discipline the snake Beastmen.
Before long, Si Yan and She Wang saw Tai Seng running over anxiously.
Finding them, he said worriedly, "This is bad, Si Yan. Jin Tong’s in trouble!"
