Chapter 90: Chapter 89: Have You Thought It Through?

Xu Chi didn’t say a word. He just leaned against a pillar with his arms crossed, watching the little female pace back and forth, worrying about someone else.

“Although Xiao Shisi is a bit petty, and all she thinks about is making me her sister-in-law, we’ve spent over a month with her. She’s a pretty nice and likable young female.

I thought she was living well with the Xiao Family, but now it seems she might have been lying. Even if we personally escorted her to the Xiao Family’s doorstep, they probably wouldn’t be grateful to us.

That male was injured so badly. He probably won’t sell for many Crystal Stones, and Xiao Shisi still has to find a way to scrape them together…”

This was, after all, the young female who had called her “big sister” for a month. Seeing that earlier scene, Si Shuo felt as if she had just watched a heart-wrenching romantic tragedy, and her heart was still in knots.

They say if you’re going to help someone, you should see it through to the end. At the very least, she had to make sure Xiao Shisi was truly safe.

“Xu Chi, do you think if Xiao Shisi ransoms that male, she’ll really be able to just wash her hands of him?

She’s definitely tough on the outside but soft on the inside… I wonder what method she’s thought of to get the Crystal Stones. Why don’t we help her out secretly?”

Xu Chi smiled and pulled her to a stop. “Stop pacing, you’ll burn right through your dinner. We’re going to bed soon, and eating more will just give you indigestion.”

“How do you want to help?” he asked. “Xiao Shisi and that male’s problem isn’t something that can be solved with just Crystal Stones.

He’s probably a Flying Beast. Both his arms were cut off and the Crystal Stone in his Dantian was dug out. He’s completely crippled, with almost no chance of recovery.”

Hearing how tragic the male’s situation was, Si Shuo couldn’t help but hug Xu Chi and nuzzle him. “Xu Chi, right now I feel more than ever that I was so lucky to have met you all.

In this world, being able to meet people you love and stay with them… it really takes a huge amount of luck!”

Xu Chi pulled her into a tight embrace. “Mmm, little female, you are my greatest luck.”

Si Shuo’s heart felt incredibly sweet.

She lowered her gaze and asked the system, ’System, can a male with severed arms and a stolen Crystal Stone ever fully recover? Would a Life Reviving Pill work?’

System: ’Host, the Life Reviving Pill only snatches people back from King Yanluo. It can bring back any creature that has died within the last half hour, but the extent of their physical recovery depends on their individual constitution. It cannot regenerate severed limbs or reconstruct a Dantian. However, Host could consider taking this Level 13 Hunting Falcon Beastman as a Beast Husband and granting him the Regeneration Ability. The initial regeneration provided by the Beast God can restore the Hunting Falcon Beastman to his Peak condition!’

Si Shuo was so shocked by the system’s bold and shameless words that she broke into a fit of coughing.

Xu Chi patted her back to help her catch her breath, saying helplessly, “Be careful.”

Si Shuo nodded, then ground her teeth as she silently conversed with the system: ’Is there any other way?’

System: ’Nope, that’s the only possibility. And this is a perk the Host was able to fight for from the Beast God for her own Beast Husbands because you are so outstanding!’

Si Shuo directly blocked the system. ’What’s the use of this thing anyway?’

Before long, the auction began to display the Female Slaves and Male Slaves up for sale.

The Female Slaves had low production capacity, but they had beautiful faces and good figures. The moment they were brought out, many males raised their hands and started bidding.

The Beastmen who dared to operate near the Dongye Forest were all extraordinarily powerful. Their opening bids were made with Level 8 Crystal Stones or higher. Especially since the spring hunt had just ended, everyone had plenty of Crystal Stones on hand.

As long as a male was not marked and did not have a Beast Mark, he would not be bound by the Beast God.

However, the vast majority of tribes believed in the Beast God and held coming-of-age ceremonies once or twice a year to bless the females and mark the males.

Therefore, males without a Beast Mark were basically Rogue Beasts who didn’t want to protect females, dedicate their lives, or contribute to the propagation of the Beastman race!

If bought by such a male, one could only imagine the future that awaited a Female Slave…

The Male Slaves, on the other hand, all had relatively outstanding Combat Power and bore Beast Marks. Some had simply been drugged and were waiting to be bought at auction by a female to become her mate.

Many females from the Southern Continent, along with their partners, were in special need of one or two males with decent Combat Power to join their small families.

“Ji Liang, under what circumstances would a nearly dead male be put up for auction?” Si Shuo couldn’t help but ask.

Ji Liang raised an eyebrow and glanced at Xu Chi, who was staring straight ahead. “Hiss, a male with good talent has many uses. Besides having high Combat Power to protect a female and establishing connections with a great family, he can also be used to sire offspring with good aptitude.

Although males long for a female to bear their cubs, being used as a breeding tool right before death is an insult to them.

Why? Little Shushu, did you see something in the Beast Skin Bag out back?”

Si Shuo had nothing to hide, so she told them what she had seen.

Ji Liang clicked his tongue twice silently. He hadn’t expected Xiao Shisi to have gotten herself into a romantic entanglement, and for the little female to have happened to see it and misunderstand.

He pretended to be concerned and asked, “Hiss, Little Shushu, are you thinking of helping Xiao Shisi?”

Si Shuo nodded and said in a low voice, “I think Xiao Shisi is very proud. She definitely wouldn’t ask us to lend her Crystal Stones.

For her to even mention raising Crystal Stones means she probably can’t get them all in a day or two. And with that male tortured into such a state, how could there not be someone watching, waiting to do more harm?

So, I’m guessing that while Xiao Shisi is trying to raise the Crystal Stones, in a day or two, her uncle won’t be able to withstand the pressure and will put that male up for auction!”

Ji Liang couldn’t help but smile and pinch her cheek. “Hiss, our Little Shushu’s analysis is spot on.

Indeed. A matter that could trouble Xiao Shisi must involve several great families from the Central Continent. We can’t get directly involved…”

“We have the Human Skin Mask and Xu Chi’s Invisibility superpower. If we combine those two, we can totally win the bid for that male on Xiao Shisi’s behalf and shake off anyone who’s tailing us!” Si Shuo said with a light laugh.

Zhi Le took her hand. “Kitty, have you thought this through?

That male’s injuries are too severe. I reckon that if Xiao Shisi ransoms him, it’s just to let him die with dignity.”

Besides, you can’t just casually buy a male and take him home, just like you can’t just casually pick up a female and take her home!

Buying for another Beastman just isn’t done. That’s an unspoken rule everyone here accepts.

Si Shuo’s face paled slightly. ’That’s right… a Beastman with no arms has no ability to survive. And from the sound of it, his current tragic state was caused by his own family colluding with outsiders.’

’But there are so many males in this Beast World who face life-threatening situations every day. She can’t just feel sorry for every single one, become mates with them, take them as a Beast Husband, and wish for a Regeneration Ability, can she?’

’Besides, that’s Xiao Shisi’s fiancé. Friends’ husbands are off-limits!’

“Let’s just see how things play out. Maybe we’re overthinking it,” Si Shuo said, pressing her lips together and letting out a heavy breath.

She was just a female who needed her Beast Husbands to protect her. Before extending a hand to help others, she had to ensure the safety of her own family.
