Chapter 43: Chapter 42: A Treasure From Head to Toe

A long line had already formed at the gates of Nanye City. Beastman guards were registering the identities of visiting Beastmen one by one.

There was a written language on the Beast World Continent, but only those in special positions, nobles, and the upper echelons of large tribes could master it.

Hearing Zhi Le’s explanation, Si Shuo whispered to her three males, “Starting today, we’re going to study pinyin for half a Beast Hour every morning and evening.

That way, when you’re out and about, we’ll be able to communicate using pinyin.”

Ji Liang and Xu Chi were utterly confused, but that didn’t stop them from going along with the little female. They nodded without a second thought.

Zhi Le held Si Shuo’s hand, unable to get enough of her. His eyes hadn’t left her since they met. “Okay, we’ll do whatever you say.”

He actually wanted to say that he would never leave her side again, but life was unpredictable. No one could guarantee they would truly be together every single moment.

The line moved slowly. During this special period, Nanye City’s inspections were even more stringent.

“Zhi Le, what information are they registering? What about Xu Chi?” Si Shuo suddenly thought of this and looked worriedly at Xu Chi. “Will they record our Beast Forms? Can we lie about it?”

Zhi Le raised an eyebrow at Xu Chi in a silent question. ’Is this future Couple Brother’s Beast Form not presentable?’

“They will. Nanye City has a Side Shadow Stone. When we walk past it, the Side Shadow Stone will reveal our Beast Forms to prevent heinous Rogue Beasts from sneaking in.”

Xu Chi looked at Si Shuo, his eyes tinged with the warmth of the sky. “I’ll be fine. In fact, this is the perfect chance for you to see what kind of Beastman I am.”

That clawing, itching curiosity was back. Si Shuo desperately wanted to cut in line and rip his secret identity to shreds that very second!

Chu Man and her Beast Husbands also arrived. She swept a cold, expressionless glance over Si Shuo before leading her men through a smaller gate to register and enter.

Zhi Le followed Si Shuo’s gaze and explained, “That’s a special passage for Female Saints.”

At this, he chuckled and said, “Nanye City is huge. There’s a Beast God Statue enshrined here. On the first and fifteenth of every Beast Month, the city’s High Priest bestows a Blessing on the females on behalf of the Beast God.

Each female only gets one chance in her life. The day after tomorrow happens to be the fifteenth. You should go up on the platform and receive the Blessing too, kitty.”

Si Shuo knew about this from the original owner’s memories. Females who received the Blessing would see some improvement in their physical condition and fertility. The lucky ones could even receive the Beast God’s personal Blessing, gain a superpower, and become a highly sought-after Female Saint!

Si Shuo couldn’t help but ask her system, ’System, can I receive the Beast God’s Blessing and become a Female Saint?’

’Yes, Host,’ the system replied. ’Your fertility is formidable, far surpassing the standard of a Female Saint. You will naturally gain the Beast God’s favor and be blessed to become a Female Saint.’

Si Shuo wasn’t someone who liked being in the spotlight, but she was more concerned about something else. ’System, if I become a Female Saint, can I also get a superpower?’

’Host, as long as the superpower the Beast God grants you is not the same as the one you have already awakened, it is theoretically possible,’ the system answered.

Si Shuo’s eyes lit up. She shook Zhi Le’s arm. “Zhi Le, I heard the Beast God is really amazing and grants any request a Female Saint makes, right?”

Zhi Le smiled and nodded. “That’s right. Wishes made to the Beast God, like for a superpower or after a Female Saint becomes pregnant, are very effective.”

Si Shuo pursed her lips, her eyes darting around as she pondered. ’If I really am chosen as a Female Saint, what superpower should I ask the Beast God for?’

She glanced at one of her men, then the other, and a few options came to mind.

But in the eyes of her males, it looked like she was gazing at others with longing and envy.

’Our little female is beautiful, well-behaved, smart, and sensible. Her only misfortune is her weak body and low fertility. I wonder if the Beast God will open his eyes and let her have a cub or two in her lifetime.’

After having a meal and taking a nap outside the city, they finally stepped through the gates as dusk fell.

Zhi Le’s and Ji Liang’s registrations went quickly. The Beast Forms that appeared on the Side Shadow Stone were exactly what they looked like when transformed.

When it was Si Shuo’s turn, she stood before the Side Shadow Stone and stared at the blue-eyed, white-furred cat with a big, fluffy tail. She was struck by her own cuteness!

She tilted her head, stuck out her tongue, and twitched her ears, wishing she could take the Side Shadow Stone home. ’Why can’t females transform?’

However, she also noticed that her unusually fluffy tail was actually nine tails bundled together.

Her three males watched her, both on the stone and off, their gazes gentle yet filled with burning passion. ’No matter how you look at her, our female is so playful and adorable. I just want to tuck her away in my arms…’

When it was Xu Chi’s turn, Si Shuo clenched her fists and stared intently at the Side Shadow Stone. All sorts of guesses had flashed through her mind, but when she saw the image of a tall, strong, and exceptionally beautiful, aloof Deer appear, she froze for a moment.

’The Beast World Continent is truly amazing. In my world, deer were gentle herbivores, but here, they’re incredibly ferocious.’

’Although Xu Chi is good to me, and he has a cool, noble air about him, his Combat Power is no joke. It was honed through countless battles with Fierce Beasts.’

Once inside the city, Si Shuo looked left and right. Still feeling uneasy, she had Xu Chi put up a Protective Shield to block them from sight and sound.

She tugged on Xu Chi’s hand and asked curiously, “Xu Chi, why?”

How could he be a Deer? Where were his wings? He was afraid of others finding out his Beast Form before, so why wasn’t he afraid of the Side Shadow Stone now?

Ji Liang smiled and pinched Si Shuo’s cheek. “Little Shuoshuo, have I ever told you about the mysterious, winged Horned Deer?”

Si Shuo froze, looking at Xu Chi. Zhi Le was also completely stunned. ’A Horned Deer!’

A smile tugged at Xu Chi’s lips as he nodded. “Yes, I’m a Horned Deer. In front of the Side Shadow Stone, I used my Sumeru Space to conceal my wings.

The Horned Deer Clan lives on an inverted Floating Mountain on the Beast World Continent. We rarely interact with outsiders, which makes us seem a bit mysterious.

We’re one of the few non-Bird Clan Beastmen with wings. Our Crystal Cores can be refined into a Sumeru Space, and…”

Ji Liang cut in, raising an eyebrow. “If I’m not mistaken, there’s another reason the Horned Deer are hunted to death. After you’re decapitated, another Beastman’s head can be attached to your body.

Many Beastmen like to capture Horned Deer so that when they’re on the verge of death, they can have their head attached to a Horned Deer’s body!

Your natural Cultivation speed is faster than others’, making you the key for some Beastmen with poor aptitude to defy fate and change their destiny, right?”

Xu Chi hummed in agreement, his expression cool. “Yes. That’s why the number of Beastmen in the Horned Deer Clan is dwindling. We even suffered a clan-wide extermination in the past, and many of our people had to leave their homes to survive.”

Si Shuo hadn’t expected such an answer. The Horned Deer possessed qualities and abilities others envied, but they were also treasures from head to toe, making them a walking opportunity in the eyes of other Beastmen.

She pursed her lips and squeezed Xu Chi’s hand tightly, saying with a smile, “Xu Chi, from now on, we’ll protect you. We’ll help you hide your identity.”

There was no other way. The existence of the Horned Deer was too heaven-defying. Even if his Combat Power became immense in the future, he could never openly reveal his full Beast Form for his entire life.

They couldn’t afford even the slightest mistake!

Xu Chi stroked her head. “As long as you’re not afraid that I’ll bring trouble.”
