Chapter 62: Chapter 61: Which Sister?

Yu Jiao knocked on the door repeatedly. THUMP, THUMP, THUMP. When it opened, she saw the male’s tall, sturdy figure through the crack. A flash of delight appeared in her downcast eyes, and she let herself fall inward!

Unfortunately, Gong You sidestepped and dodged her. Just before she could hit the ground hard, she was scooped up by Liwa.

Si Shuo had already returned to the house. After grabbing Xu Chi and teleporting to Zhi Le’s side, she then used Teleportation to bring Zhi Le back home.

Their Teleportation could land them within a ten-meter radius of their target, and they could choose the specific landing spot.

Zhi Le’s training had been very intense recently. He only managed to nap for a short while each day when he was with Si Shuo; the rest of his time was spent hunting and fighting High level Fierce Beasts.

In the nearly one month since arriving in Nanye City, he had faced several life-and-death situations and finally broken through to Level 8. For the past two days, he had been stabilizing his new realm.

“Hello, are you Si Shuo’s Beast Husband? I’m Yu Jiao, her sister,” Yu Jiao said, her face flushing and her heart pounding as she gazed at the excessively handsome male before her. ’The jealousy in my heart is about to overflow!’

Originally, she had joyfully followed the Luoni Tribe, traveling with several other large tribes to Nanye City. She had fantasized about finding several Level 8 or even Level 9 Beast Husbands, and perhaps even being chosen by the Beast God as a Female Saint.

However, just as she entered the city, while waiting for her tribe to rent a place, she heard someone mention Si Shuo’s name.

The equally sharp-eared Yimei excitedly grabbed the beastmen and started asking questions.

Seeing that she was an old acquaintance of Si Shuo, the gossiping beastmen enthusiastically spilled everything they knew: that Si Shuo had taken Gong You as a Beast Husband, complete with a full rundown on him; that Si Shuo and her mates had set up a ring-toss stall and how incredibly popular it was; that Si Shuo had become a Female Saint, not to mention how many outstanding beastmen had volunteered to be her husband and been rejected…

Every single piece of news was so good it made Yimei tremble with excitement!

But for Yu Jiao, it was all terrible news that clawed at her heart. ’How is this possible? Didn’t Mother strip Si Shuo of her fertility and give it to me? How can she still become a Female Saint?’

Gong You glanced coolly at the few Beast Husbands behind Yu Jiao and curled his lip in a sneer. “Is there something you want?”

Yu Jiao chuckled and nodded, but before she could speak, Yimei came rushing over on a gray lion, crying out, “Si Shuo!”

Si Shuo walked out of the house, waving with a smile. “Yimei, long time no see.”

Yimei jumped off the gray lion, ran into the courtyard, and threw her arms around Si Shuo, sobbing. “Si Shuo, it’s so good that you’re alive. Why were you so foolish back then, giving me the chance to live?

I’ve been so worried these days, constantly praying to the Beast God for your safety. If something had really happened to you, I… I wouldn’t have been able to live with myself.”

Si Shuo patted her on the back and coaxed her with a helpless chuckle, “But I’m fine, aren’t I? By the way, what are you doing in Nanye City?”

She noticed Kouba was holding a bamboo basket, inside of which lay three small, fluffy, dark brown creatures whose eyes hadn’t opened yet. They were whimpering softly and looked incredibly cute. “Are these your and Kouba’s cubs?”

Only then did Yimei wipe away her tears, straighten up, and nod with a smile. “Yes, they were born just three days ago and don’t have names yet. Si Shuo, would you name them for us?”

A name stays with a Beastman for their entire life. Besides their parents and the High Priest, only a great benefactor has the honor of naming them. The act of naming is also a form of Blessing!

Si Shuo gently tapped the three little ones on the head. As if sensing her affection, they all let out soft cries and nuzzled against her finger, their touch soft and warm.

“I hope they can live their lives in peace and health. Let’s call them Songyang, Song Ming, and Song Tai.”

The moment she finished speaking, a faint light emanated from the foreheads of the three cubs.

Genuinely delighted, Si Shuo condensed three of her Thickvines and gave them to the cubs. The vines seemed to act on their own, transforming into extremely thin vine collars that looped around the little ones’ necks.

Yimei and her four Beast Husbands assumed this was one of her abilities as a Female Saint and happily thanked her.

Si Shuo had Yimei sit down so they could talk.

In truth, Yimei’s fertility wasn’t high, so she normally wouldn’t have been qualified to come to Nanye City with the tribe. However, she was worried about Si Shuo and believed that since Nanye City was a hub of information, she would surely be able to find news of her there.

On top of that, she was pregnant, and with her Beast Husbands petitioning on her behalf, she was finally able to come.

Si Shuo felt a mix of emotions. Females were already physically weaker, and Yimei was pregnant. To travel day and night to Nanye City at a time like this was simply reckless!

She and her Beast Husbands had been hoping for the cubs in her belly for a long time. If she hadn’t managed to carry this litter to term, it was uncertain if she could ever have children again.

“You call me foolish, but aren’t you just as foolish? Since I protected you, you should have focused on living well. Was it worth risking your ability to have cubs for my sake?”

Yimei looked at her and smiled. “It was worth it. I believe the Beast God will definitely protect a kind person like you, Si Shuo.

This is the place closest to the Beast God. I had it all planned out. For every day I couldn’t find news of you, I would kneel before the Beast God Statue and pray for you.

If the tribesmen left, we were going to build a house on the outskirts of the city and wait for you.

Now that I see you’re okay, I can rest easy. After the Beast God’s Blessing tomorrow, we’ll spend a couple of days in Nanye City and then head back with the tribe.”

Si Shuo’s gaze shifted downward, and she saw the new, pink skin on Yimei’s knees where scabs had fallen off. She pressed her lips together, unsure of what to say for a moment.

The emotions of beastmen were so sincere and fervent, so pure it made one’s heart burn.

Female Saints all preferred large tribes and cities. Yimei must have guessed that she wouldn’t be returning to the Luoni Tribe, yet she only offered her sincere blessings, not taking the opportunity to ask to follow her or make other requests.

This kind of respectful distance between friends was very comfortable.

She smiled and invited Yimei to try some of Nanye City’s fruit.

Kouba heard that Ji Liang was manning the stall. After asking for the location and saying a word to Yimei, he transformed into a rattlesnake and left.

Yu Jiao, who had been completely ignored, clenched her fists. ’Si Shuo really isn’t deaf or a stutterer anymore!’

And with several Beast Husbands with powerful Combat Power protecting her, she was no longer timid and cowering. Her confident, relaxed demeanor made her seem all the more radiant.

“Oh, right, Si Shuo, I was scared to death back then. I saw a Flying Beast in the sky and wanted to have it take you somewhere safe first. Who would have thought there’d be an Eagle Beast among the Rogue Beasts!

My good intentions backfired. Thank goodness you’re alive and have even taken on such powerful Beast Husbands. Otherwise, I would have spent the rest of my life consumed by guilt,” Yu Jiao said, wiping away fake tears with a smile.

Only then did Si Shuo turn her head to look at her, smiling. “Oh? And who might this be?”

Yu Jiao choked on her words. “Si Shuo, it’s me, your sister! You… you recognize Yimei, how could you have forgotten me?”

Si Shuo nodded, her expression sincere. “That’s right. I was very sick, and when I woke up, I had forgotten many things. I only have a few scattered fragments of memory left.

Zhi Le and Ji Liang helped me fill in some of the gaps. It’s strange… if you’re my sister, why would I remember Yimei but not you?

Now that I’ve become a Female Saint, so many people have been showing up at my door claiming to be relatives. It’s really getting annoying.”

Yu Jiao smiled and pulled Liwa forward. “This is Liwa, Zhi Le’s brother. We’re true sisters, from the same Mother. We’re not just some distant relatives.”

“Are you the sister who received my fertility after Mother stripped it from me and had it transferred?” Si Shuo asked, tilting her head, her voice chilling.
