Chapter 387: Chapter 387

Beast World was not short of gigantic trees.

Upon Si Yan’s call, many Golden Dragon Beastmen arrived. Si Yan instructed them to cut down the immense trees as quickly as possible.

Excited by Si Yan’s orders, the Golden Dragon Beastmen scattered to fell the trees.

Following Si Yan’s instructions, they carried the branches and trunks to the Divine Tree, propping them diagonally into the ground and leaning them against the Divine Tree.

After preparing a large amount of wood, Si Yan used her Wood-based Ability to create vine ropes, one after another, binding these trees around the Divine Tree.

The outer perimeter of the Divine Tree was wrapped in layers upon layers of wood, which served as reinforcement. It looked as if it had donned wooden armor.

Si Yan kept busy with the Beastmen, completely unaware that her own cubs and their uncles had entered the storm.

「The outskirts of the storm.」

Tai Seng secured two Dragon Eggs to his body. The Dragon Eggs were of utmost importance; aside from himself, he did not trust any other Beastman with them.

By Tai Seng’s side were the five brothers—Jin Tong, Jin Ting, Jin Qian, Jin Kun, and Jin Yang—along with the four young cubs, including Dongchi, as well as Jin Hong and Han Shuang.

They reached the perimeter of the Golden Dragon Tribe. The storm raged violently, making it difficult for the four little cubs to keep their footing even at its outskirts.

Jin Tong and the others were using several sturdy vines to tie each of the four cubs by the waist, one after another, securing them to the adult male Beastmen.

Jin Hong remained silent. Han Shuang glanced coldly at the four cubs a few times, then indifferently averted her gaze.

Four filthy snake-beastman cubs, truly detestable, she thought. Especially detestable was their mother, Si Yan! Yao Yao was her own daughter, the one she had raised by hand, her devoted daughter. Yao Yao was such a pure and kind-hearted child, the Dragon Princess everyone had always admired. If it weren’t for Si Yan, her Yao Yao would not have suffered such a disaster. She wouldn’t be slandered as she was now, disfigured, and stripped of her reputation and everything else.

Jin Tong offered Han Shuang some clean water. She took it and drank a few sips.

Looking at Han Shuang, Jin Tong said anxiously, "Mother, Si Yan is now inside the Golden Dragon Tribe, and the tribespeople all like her a lot. Si Yan is now together with the tribe, protecting everyone and the Divine Tree."

Seeing Han Shuang’s silence, he continued to plead, "Mother, Si Yan is the daughter you carried for three months and whom Father incubated for six more before she was born. She is my full sister. Do you remember how much you looked forward to her birth? We lost her and even let another female cub take her place. We wronged her.

"Even if you can’t bring yourself to love her as you do Jin Yao, please don’t harm her, alright? Otherwise..."

Han Shuang said, her face devoid of expression, "Otherwise, what?"

Jin Tong shook his head. "Perhaps it’s best if you two don’t meet for now."

Han Shuang’s expression turned even colder. "You’re worried I’ll harm her? You’re not worried about Yao Yao; you’re only worried about Si Yan, right?"

Jin Tong’s face turned cold. "Jin Yao got what she deserved."

Han Shuang’s chest heaved with anger, but she quickly suppressed it and looked towards the raging storm.

This Si Yan is truly something else, Han Shuang fumed internally. Not only has she brought such misery upon my Yao Yao, but she’s also made my own sons utterly devoted to her, one after another. That Si Yan traveled all this way to the Golden Dragon Tribe solely for the Beast God’s Inheritance! The Beast God’s Inheritance should have been Yao Yao’s! I will not allow this scheming female to succeed!

Han Shuang handed the water back to Jin Tong.

Jin Tong stood up and double-checked the vines tied around the four cubs.

The Golden Dragon brothers took the lead, followed by Jin Hong, then Han Shuang, the four little cubs, and finally Tai Seng bringing up the rear. They were all connected by the vines, one after another in this formation.

Their uncles patted the heads of the four little cubs. "Are you scared?" one of them asked.

Dongchi, speaking for the confident and rather cocky cubs, declared, "We’re not ordinary Snake Beastmen! This bit of wind is nothing. Let’s hurry, we’re anxious to see Mother!"

Knowing their mother was safe, the cubs were incredibly anxious, desperate to reach her side as quickly as possible.

"Good cubs," Jin Yang said, patting little Bei Ji’s head. How could I have said such awful things to such wonderful cubs before? he wondered.

"If everyone’s ready, let’s go!" Jin Ting announced.

The group plunged into the raging hurricane.

The cubs struggled forward against the wind. Whenever they faltered or were about to fall, Uncle Tai Seng would give them a gentle steadying push. The cubs helped one another, ensuring they didn’t slow anyone down. Jin Tong and his brothers glanced back at the cubs, a sense of relief and pride in their eyes.

Han Shuang pressed on, occasionally glancing back at the four little cubs trailing behind her.

Si Yan’s four cubs... four little snake cubs, she sneered internally. Filthy half-breeds, unworthy of tainting the Golden Dragon bloodline!

A flash of hatred gleamed in Han Shuang’s eyes. As everyone battled the fierce wind, a sharp beast tooth materialized in her hand. Stealthily, she began to saw at the vine connecting her to the cubs. The hurricane was immense, and with the wind raging so fiercely, no one could possibly notice Han Shuang’s subtle movements.

A glint of triumph flashed in Han Shuang’s eyes. With a swift flick of her wrist, the beast tooth severed the vine between her and the cubs! It snapped!

Dongchi suddenly realized what had happened, his crimson eyes widening in shock. He knew Han Shuang disliked them, but she was their own grandmother by blood. None of them had ever imagined she would actually try to harm them!

A fierce gust of wind tore through, and the lightweight cubs were instantly flung into the air.

Tai Seng shouted in shock, "Dongchi!!"

With their connecting vine severed, the slipknot securing Dongchi came undone! Sent tumbling into the air, he desperately grabbed for the trailing end of his own safety line! The two Dragon Eggs were securely fastened in a beast hide on Tai Seng’s back. Now, he alone had to fight the wind’s fury and save the cubs!

The Golden Dragon brothers reacted, "Dongchi!!!"

Dongchi clung to the vine. Tai Seng planted his feet firmly, snatching Bei Ji. Bei Ji immediately grabbed onto Tai Seng’s legs. Together, they strained, but as Tai Seng reached for Xi Qing, the wind intensified.

Dongchi’s small hand was about to lose its grip!

In this perilous moment, Jin Tong acted without hesitation, releasing his own safety vine.

Han Shuang screamed, "Jin Tong, what are you doing?! You’ll be blown away by the wind!"

Jin Tong instantly transformed into his dragon form. His massive body anchored itself against the hurricane’s force. The very instant Dongchi’s grip on the vine failed, Jin Tong snatched him up, then propelled all the cubs towards Tai Seng.

Tai Seng caught Dongchi, who immediately clung to Tai Seng’s animal-hide kilt. Tai Seng quickly and securely tied the cubs to himself. All the cubs clung desperately to his legs!

Jin Tong rejoined Tai Seng at once, produced a new vine, and reconnected himself to the cubs. He took the lead, with Tai Seng guarding the rear, to protect the four little cubs. Fresh chapters posted on NoveI-Fire.ɴet

The group found a nearby cave and quickly ducked inside to catch their breath. In a corner of the cave, the four little cubs straightened their disheveled appearances, then ate some dried meat and drank some water.

Suddenly, with a loud BANG, Jin Tong slammed something down heavily in front of Han Shuang and Jin Hong.

His face flushed crimson with fury, Jin Tong gritted his teeth and snarled at Han Shuang, "I knew you had issues with my sister, Si Yan, but I never imagined you could be so depraved! So utterly unhinged!"
