Chapter 409: Chapter 408: You Should Be Happy and Overjoyed

Xiao Zhuang smiled smugly. “Qian Hua has taken a fancy to me now. She thinks I’m better looking and stronger than Xiao Bei, and the most likely to become the next Clan Leader.

“Unfortunately, I’m a rather possessive person and don’t want any competition of the same kind at home. So she had to get rid of Xiao Bei first before she could pursue me.”

As he said this, he deliberately glanced at Si Shuo. It was as if to say that Si Shuo was blind for not choosing him, and that plenty of other females were lining up to have him.

Xiao Bei was helped to his feet by the Ninth Elder, his body limp. He stared blankly at Qian Hua. “Is what he’s saying true? You’re dissolving our contract because of him?”

Qian Hua didn’t answer, but the fact that she didn’t push Xiao Zhuang away was answer enough for him.

“It’s your own fault for having no ambition. I chose you because I thought you could compete for the Clan Leader position and give me a better life. Who would have thought you’d ridiculously just want to stay by my side?

Do you think that with so many Beast Husbands, I’m lacking someone to protect me?” Qian Hua no longer bothered to hide it. Since she had already sacrificed Xiao Bei, she might as well let everyone see her determination to win over Xiao Zhuang.

Si Shuo chuckled and looked at Xiao Zhuang. “So, Xiao Zhuang, are you planning to take Qian Hua as your female?”

Seeing Si Shuo speak to him, Xiao Zhuang thought she was getting jealous and feeling a sense of urgency, finally realizing his worth. He quickly let go of Qian Hua, cleared his throat, and said lightly, “How could that be? How could a female who doesn’t know how to cherish her Beast Husbands be the person I’d want to spend my life with? The one I like is someone like the Si Shuo Divine Female—beautiful, gentle, and knows how to care for someone…”

Xiao Cheng bared his teeth. “My little female only cares for me!” Si Shuo pinched him, almost bursting into laughter.

Qian Hua’s expression turned ugly as she looked at Xiao Zhuang. “Xiao Zhuang, what are you talking about? You said that as long as I didn’t have any Three-tailed Blue Fox Clan Members by my side, you would become my Beast Husband.”

“You were only interested in the thousand Level 10 Crystal Stones I said I’d bring as a dowry, weren’t you? I was just testing you. I didn’t expect you to dissolve your contract with Xiao Bei so easily. Ai, I really have to thank Xiao Bei for helping me see that you’re a venomous, opportunistic female, saving me from jumping into a pit of fire,” Xiao Zhuang said with a smirk.

The Ninth Elder panted with rage. “So, you wanted to cripple Xiao Bei’s ability to compete for the Clan Leader position, so you deliberately manipulated Qian Hua into dissolving her contract with him?”

The Clan Leader immediately chimed in, “Hey, Ninth Elder, you can eat whatever you want, but you can’t just say whatever you want. It’s clearly your Xiao Bei who was a disappointment and failed to win his female’s affection. How can you blame our Xiao Zhuang for that?

And Xiao Bei, really… such a good kid, but he never thinks about working hard and getting ahead. Do you really think you can keep a young female happy your whole life with just your looks? If you were the Clan Leader, maybe then a young female would give you a second look…”

The father and son duo’s sarcastic remarks came one after another, making the Ninth Elder and Xiao Bei so furious they looked ready to tear them apart with their bare teeth.

The importance of a young female’s choice was on full display! Xiao Cheng huddled close to Si Shuo and whispered, “Jiejie, this is terrifying. For the sake of benefits, they can just dissolve their contracts with their Beast Husbands so easily.”

Si Shuo smiled and said, “That’s why I have to win the other Contract Spirit from Luo Zhi.

Without the help of a Contract Spirit, if a female wants to dissolve a contract, her own body will suffer some degree of damage. That makes them have some reservations.”

As she spoke, she pressed a Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill into Xiao Cheng’s hand. “Since the Contract Spirit chose Xiao Bei for its test, to be fair, we’ll also use Xiao Bei to test the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill.”

Luo Zhi quickly interjected, “No need to go to such trouble. I think my Hong Wu would be a fine choice.” The male she mentioned was the strongest among her Beast Husbands. She was convinced that any elixir Si Shuo brought out in public had to be real, and she couldn’t let an outsider benefit from it.

Xiao Cheng chuckled. “Aren’t you afraid it’s poison, being so eager to push your own Beast Husband forward?”

Despite his words, he walked right up to Xiao Bei, smiled faintly, and held out the elixir in his hand. “Brother Xiao Bei, do you dare to try it?”

“Xiao Cheng, you’re wrong. I was the one chosen for the Contract Spirit’s test, so this Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill should be for me,” Qian Hua said, stepping forward to snatch the elixir.

But Xiao Bei was faster. He tossed the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill into his mouth and chewed it vigorously. A powerful surge of Spiritual Power, like a slithering snake, shot from his mouth down his esophagus. After coiling in his stomach, it exploded in waves. The immense Spiritual Power rapidly and forcefully cleansed his flesh, muscles, and bones, smoothing over and repairing old, hidden injuries from his Cultivation and hunts. It expelled the toxins and impurities left from feeding Crystal Stones to his female, as well as the filth from his metabolism that had never been fully purged.

As a crust of filth built up on the outside of his body, an unbearable, rank stench filled the air.

“BLECH! Si Shuo! Can’t you two be a little more civilized? Why is it always…” Although Luo Zhi was resentful, she still wanted to see the effects of the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill, so she had been standing relatively close.

The stench made her eyes roll back in her head. She quickly moved upwind and glared at Si Shuo.

Xiao Cheng curled his lip. “Wrong. What I threw at you was your Beast Husband’s tooth. He’s the disgusting one, not me.

And the worse Xiao Bei smells, the better the Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill is working, because it’s expelling all the impurities and filth from his body.

You should be happy, overjoyed even! Take a deep breath and verify how authentic the smell is!”

Si Shuo pressed her lips together tightly, turned, and buried herself in Zhi Zhan’s arms, trying to stifle her laughter. ’Aiyo, does this fox have to be so blunt?’

Luo Zhi seemed to catch another whiff of the foul odor in the air and dry-heaved for a moment.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing and Vein Cutting Pill was potent. Before long, Xiao Bei opened his eyes. His aura was powerful, and not only had his cultivation not been diminished, but it had broken through to Level 13 in one go!

Everyone’s gaze fell on Si Shuo, burning with intensity. Many males began offering themselves to her on the spot. Xiao Zhuang’s eyes, in particular, looked as if he wished they could be permanently attached to her.

Si Shuo had already witnessed the boldness of the males at the Female Saint Conference, so she just kept her head buried in Zhi Zhan’s arms to avoid seeing anything she shouldn’t.

Xiao Cheng’s tail shot up, shielding Si Shuo completely. “What do you think you’re doing? This is my female! I brought her here to visit family, not to stupidly recruit more Couple Brothers for myself.

You’ll have to get past my fists first!”

He was the one who had pulled the tooth of a Peak Level 12 Hippo Beastman, after all. The crowd could only restrain themselves for now, secretly plotting how to quietly woo the Si Shuo Divine Female.

“Fine! Then let’s compete at the Warrior Conference tomorrow!” a male shouted from the crowd.

Xiao Cheng’s fists tightened. He sneered, “Fine. See you in the ring. I’ll be sure to knock your teeth all over the floor.”

His true strength was at the Peak of Level 14, though he currently appeared to be Level 13. After training with his Couple Brothers and his nightly trials in the Southwest Forest, he was already touching the threshold of Level 15!

Hearing him mention teeth again, the crowd felt it was a rather… flavorful word.

Luo Zhi was already getting impatient. The mere thought of all her Beast Husbands’ Combat Power increasing by a full level was enough to brighten her entire mood. “I want to fight you!”

Xiao Cheng was a bit surprised to see her pointing at him. ’I even beat He Heng into submission,’ he thought. ’What makes her so confident she can win?’
