Chapter 297: Chapter 296: You Can’t Castrate This

Si Shuo’s heart melted at the sight of the three tiny cubs. Their hungry, whimpering cries were especially captivating, and she couldn’t take her eyes off them. ’They’re no different from kittens, are they?’

“But wait,” Si Shuo said, slightly disappointed, “why are they all male cubs? Surely a female cub couldn’t have awakened a Transformation Ability, right?” ’A female Snow Leopard cub would probably be just as soft and cute, wouldn’t she? Did I really end up with three little rascals in one litter?’

Zhi Le let out a low chuckle. He brushed her damp hair aside and gently pinched her cheek. “Then you can make a wish next time?”

Si Shuo shot him a glare. He’d been grinning like a fool this whole time. “No way. I’m only having this one litter of Snow Leopard cubs.”

“Alright, alright, we’ll listen to you,” Zhi Le said with a smile, kissing her. “Then after you’re done with these cubs and don’t want any more, we can look for some kind of contraceptive talisman. Or, we can just get sterilized.”

Si Shuo choked and coughed. ’He… he’s really ruthless with himself, to even suggest sterilization.’

She looked at her other Beast Husbands.

Ji Liang shrugged and smiled. “I have no objection. Since we can’t bear the pain of childbirth for Little Shushu, it’s only right that we take responsibility for other things.”

Xu Chi nodded. “I’m already prepared! I’m more than happy with A shuo, Little Ye, and Youyou, plus the other cubs in the family.”

The other men felt the same way, as if it were as simple as skipping a meal or a night’s sleep.

Wei Ce scratched his head and hesitated. Before Si Shuo could even react, the other Couple Brothers’ expressions turned fierce.

He glanced at the cubs and asked in a low voice, “Shuo, I’m definitely fine with it, but… it won’t affect… you know… right?”

Si Shuo puffed out her cheeks. “You’re getting ’the snip.’ What do you think?”

Hearing the word “snip,” the Beast Husbands’ faces all changed. But they had all just thumped their chests and agreed to it.

“Sister, how about… how about you ’snip’ my tail instead? I heard the tails of the Three-tailed Fox Clan affect fertility. For the other… thing… I-I’ll be extra careful! I definitely won’t let you suffer the pain of childbirth again.” Xiao Cheng was on the verge of tears. His tail popped out and he placed it in Si Shuo’s hand. “Actually, I don’t think I need to be a Father just yet. We can talk about it again in a few decades.”

Ji Liang’s face was also a bit pale. He felt like he was being sawed in half. “Little Shushu, we have quite a few cubs in the family already. Let’s wait until they’re a bit older before we consider having a snake cub, okay?”

Gong You and Yin Jiang nodded repeatedly. They would rather not have cubs at all than just hold their little female and do nothing.

As for Zhi Le, Xu Chi, and Wei Ce, who were already Fathers, their faces had turned ashen. ’Can we stuff the cubs back in?’

Si Shuo was so amused by their expressions that she clutched the Beast Skins and burst out laughing.

Realizing she was joking again, the Beast Husbands heaved a huge sigh of relief. At the same time, they felt she had taken the prank a bit too far this time. They all made a mental note to settle the score with her in private.

The little ones didn’t understand what they were talking about and were all gathered around the three Snow Leopard cubs.

“Mother, what are my little brothers and sister’s names?” Youyou asked, tilting her head.

“’Brothers and sister?’” Si Shuo froze. She couldn’t help but pull on a Snow Leopard cub’s hind leg to check. Sure enough, there were two male cubs and one female cub!

She was both delighted and curious. “There really is a female cub! But why is a female cub in her Beast Form?”

Zhi Le was happy too. A female cub was wonderful—a father’s sweet, caring daughter, a soft, miniature version of his kitty. “Kitty, don’t overthink it. We’ll find out when the cubs get a little older.”

’That’s true,’ Si Shuo thought, nodding. She had a vague feeling that it might be the effect of the Qing-Sheng Flower. While it had improved the cubs’ aptitude, it might have also caused a sort of physiological regression.

’Can the female cub switch freely between her Beast Form and human form?’

The family excitedly began to name the three little cubs. After a vote, they decided on the names. The eldest was named Zhi Min, with the nickname Xueqiu; the second was Zhi Rui, nicknamed Xue Bao; and the third was Zhi Chen, nicknamed Xue Zhu.

The three little ones were born in the morning, and everyone hoped they would be clever, quick-witted, resourceful, honest, and bold enough to take responsibility for their actions.

Just then, Zhi Le summoned two clones. Each held a cub and fed it with a bottle, creating an exceptionally heartwarming sight!

After the cubs fell asleep, Zhi Le fed Si Shuo a Sixteen-level attributeless crystal stone. Si Shuo converted the Spiritual Energy into Spiritual Power through her Dantian, circulating it repeatedly through her body with the Spring Breeze Technique to nourish and refine her skin.

The energy contained within the Sixteen-level attributeless crystal stone was abundant and pure. Combined with her upgraded Spring Breeze Technique, a single Crystal Stone was enough to restore her body to its original state!

Si Shuo couldn’t help but marvel at the wonders of the Beast World Continent. She didn’t have to go through the traditional month of postpartum confinement, worry about postpartum recovery, or fear her body gaining weight and losing its shape.

She chewed on a Dust Cleaning Talisman and instantly felt refreshed and comfortable all over.

’Finally unburdened!’ Si Shuo jumped directly into Zhi Le’s arms, nibbling on his neck as she chuckled. “Zhi Le is a Father now. How does it feel?”

Zhi Le held her, afraid to use too much force. Everyone said that a female was extremely fragile right after giving birth, and the slightest discomfort could lead to lifelong ailments.

He tilted his neck back slightly, threw a Protective Shield around them, and let her have her way with him. With his eyes half-closed and his breathing unsteady, he answered honestly, “I’m very happy. I feel like I have another layer of connection with my kitty now. We are the Father and Mother of Xueqiu, Xue Bao, and Xue Zhu.

“Even though I’ve always wanted a cub that belonged to you and me, now that we have them, it still feels unreal.”

Si Shuo bit down a little harder, making him hiss. “Does it hurt? Does it feel real now?”

Zhi Le nodded with a smile. “It hurts. It’s real. It couldn’t be more real.”

She saw that although he clearly desired her, he was still treating her with extreme care, not daring to make a move.

Si Shuo pursed her lips, her fingers slowly poking at his body. “Zhi Le, don’t you miss me?”

“I do,” he said, looking down at her. His gray-blue eyes were filled with a gentleness that could drown a person, his temper soft and yielding.

Si Shuo stopped teasing him and wrapped her arms around his neck, kissing him. “I miss Zhi Le, too… My body has already recovered. Should we celebrate Zhi Le’s promotion to Father?”

Every single one of her words challenged Zhi Le’s self-control.

“Kitty, are you really fully recovered? Don’t force yourself. We have a long future ahead of us,” Zhi Le said, struggling.

“Really? Then I’ll go find Ji Liang…” Before Si Shuo could finish her sentence, Zhi Le kissed her fiercely. “It seems we not only have to celebrate, but I also need to let my kitty know what can be ’snipped’ and what can’t… Can you really abandon the very thing that brings you pleasure?”

Si Shuo hadn’t been intimate with her Beast Husbands for over a month. At this moment, she couldn’t withstand the slightest bit of teasing. She was like autumn grass; a single spark could set the entire mountainside ablaze, burning away all her reason…

Zhi Le was overjoyed and entangled with her for a long time. Just as they were holding each other and talking, the cubs woke up and started crying from hunger.

“PFFT!” One of the cubs, its eyes still closed, opened its mouth in their direction and let out a strange sound.

And then, a crack appeared in Zhi Le’s Protective Shield…
