Beast World: A Fragile Beauty Blessed with Many Children-Chapter 394 - 393: What Happened Just Now?

The cubs all sighed in unison. This was torture. They took after their Mother and loved seafood, especially the deep-sea Silverfish.

The Silverfish were right below them, but their Fathers, one by one, were ignoring them to maintain family harmony. And since they were so young, without their Fathers’ protection, they might be harmed or even stolen by High-level Beastmen.

As for their Mother, she was completely oblivious, not noticing their pleading eyes at all. Or perhaps she did see them and was deliberately ignoring them...

Once in the sea, protected by Gong You’s Spiritual Power shield, there were no raging astral winds. Coupled with the fact that Si Shuo was bundled up, she wasn’t cold at all; in fact, she was quite comfortable.

Gong You held her as they sank steadily downward. Because they had intentionally concealed their auras, many schools of beautiful fish mistook them for coral and swam around them.

However, Gong You had to periodically give Si Shuo air. In the end, Si Shuo transformed into a medium-sized Blue Whale, surfaced to breathe, and then followed Gong You to hunt in the deep sea.

Unfortunately, Si Shuo’s body was clumsy, and she could only swim slowly. She watched helplessly as so many Silverfish went straight into Gong You’s stomach, while she could only open her mouth and wait for a lucky catch, occasionally managing to swallow a few by chance. But for a behemoth like her, a few fish weren’t even enough to get stuck in her teeth!

After Gong You had hunted the third wave of Silverfish, Si Shuo felt a cramping pain in her stomach, a pain that was all too familiar. She didn’t even make a sound, first using her Spring Breeze Technique to ease the ache. In that brief moment of distraction, the cubs in her belly were born, one after another! The speed stunned Si Shuo so much she forgot to blink. ’I give birth in the time it takes me to transform?’

Gong You sensed something was wrong and turned around to see the mother and her two children looking completely dumbfounded. He hurried forward and, with his broad back, carried all three of them up to the sea’s surface.

The cubs took a breath of fresh air and immediately perked up, affectionately nuzzling their Father and Mother.

Only then did Gong You allow himself to be stunned. ’What just happened? The little female gave me cubs?’

But the cubs were hungry, crying out and rubbing against their Father and Mother impatiently.

Gong You hadn’t expected the cubs to arrive so opportunely. Because Si Shuo had transformed into a female Blue Whale, the two cubs were enormous. He quickly took out the cow’s milk he had collected earlier and fed them one by one. Each Blue Whale Cub drank a small bucket of milk!

After feeding the cubs, Gong You took out a Level 16 attributeless Crystal Stone and passed it to Si Shuo.

Si Shuo absorbed the Spiritual Power from the Crystal Stone while using her Spring Breeze Technique to heal her body. Her Spring Breeze Technique had leveled up, and with a constant supply of Spiritual Power, by the time she had absorbed the entire Crystal Stone, she had painlessly and instantly completed her postpartum recovery, her body restored to its original state!

When she opened her eyes, she only saw Gong You. Si Shuo shook her head and swished her tail. "Where are the cubs?"

Gong You smiled and said, "I’ve put them in the sea domain for now. From now on, I’ll let them out to play in the ocean for a while whenever it’s time to feed them. Usually, they can just stay in the sea domain by themselves."

Si Shuo nuzzled him affectionately. "Can I go in there too?"

"You can, but the sea domain is all seawater. My dear, you’ll either have to turn into a Fish Beast or put a wooden plank in there," Gong You nodded.

"Do the Silverfish we put in the sea domain need to be fed?" Si Shuo asked, both curious and worried.

"No. That sea domain is like a cordoned-off section of the ocean. It has everything—coral, sea critters—except for the seafood you like to eat. We just need to put the fish, shrimp, and crabs in."

"I get it. It’s a bit like the Personal Bamboo Garden that Tuanzi and Yuanyuan carry. That’s also a sectioned-off piece of a bamboo forest!" Si Shuo nodded in sudden understanding.

Suddenly, she remembered to check her system rewards. The system favored the cubs, always giving precise rewards that addressed their biggest weaknesses.

The Horned Deer Cub’s Hidden Beast Form Pearl, the Iron-eating Beasts’ Personal Bamboo Garden, the Snow Leopard’s Substitute Pearl, the Snake Beast’s Warm Jade, the Hunting Falcon’s predicament Array made of mirrors, and now, the Blue Whale Cubs’ Water Bead.

This Water Bead was a portable form of the sea domain. It would allow the fish cubs to travel far from the ocean, even if they didn’t awaken a Water Ability. In the future, when they had their own cubs, as long as there was enough food, they wouldn’t have to live a lonely life in the sea with their young. They could leave and return to their mates’ sides once the cubs grew up. Moreover, the Water Bead could also be used as a Water-Repelling Pearl, allowing the wearer to swim freely in the ocean without feeling suffocated or pressured by the water!

Si Shuo’s Replication Ability had also been upgraded; she could now replicate two Water Beads a day!

With that in mind, she first replicated a Water Bead, exhausting her superpower, before hurrying back to the seafloor with Gong You to begin her own hunting time.

Gong You explained the techniques of swimming and hunting to her in detail. Si Shuo listened attentively and even practiced.

But the Silverfish truly were her favorite. Tens of thousands of little fish, shimmering silver, zipped back and forth before her eyes. Yet when she swam over and opened her mouth to swallow, she only got a mouthful of water, filtering out very few Silverfish. The Silverfish were fast and agile. It was like they were the opposing poles of a magnet to her; they seemed right in front of her, but by the time she swam over, the school had already moved far away!

In the end, the Silverfish were just flaunting themselves in front of her, and Si Shuo, feeling completely hopeless, couldn’t even be bothered to open her mouth anymore.

Gong You watched in amusement, chuckling softly. He swam slowly to a spot where he predicted the school of Silverfish would pass and waited. When the Silverfish arrived, he sucked in a huge gulp of water where the fish were densest, capturing most of the school!

They were quite lucky and also encountered a large swarm of krill, all of which Gong You collected into his sea domain. The sea domain he possessed could be invisibly divided into twenty sections.

Gong You set aside ten sections for the two cubs to swim in freely. The remaining ten were split in half, one for the Silverfish and the other for the krill.

With Kunzi, who had replicated Gong You’s Time Law, they didn’t need to hurry back. However, the little guy’s Spiritual Power was limited, so he could only stretch the time difference to five times at most.

After Gong You had hunted a few more times, he fed the two fish cubs their milk again, and then they used Teleportation to go home.

"Today, we’re having roasted Silverfish! Everyone can eat their fill!" Si Shuo announced magnanimously as she appeared.

The cubs jumped up and down, clapping their hands in delight. Whenever they gnawed on small dried fish, their biggest wish was to be able to eat their fill of little silver fish.

One by one, they thanked their Mother, and then Father Gong You, willingly bowing their heads for a full meal!

After the meal, Gong You whispered something to Si Shuo, then went to the room next door and moved a stone. Everyone then realized it was a cave with stone steps leading vertically down to the ocean below.

"Mother, where did Father Gong You go?" Ji Nuan, bundled up like a ball, asked curiously.

"To feed the fish cubs," Si Shuo answered casually.

That one sentence shocked everyone so much that they shot to their feet, their gazes shifting down to the belly of the little female who was also bundled up like a ball.

Her figure was slender, and by wearing heavy clothes and a cloak, she could completely conceal a pregnant belly. As a result, not a single one of them had realized that Si Shuo had actually given birth to fish cubs!
