CHAPTER 148: CHAPTER 139 XI QING AWAKENS SPECIAL ABILITY_1

Si Yan had a good sleep.

When she woke up this time, her whole body felt comfortable, except for her mouth, which was a bit unpleasant.

Since arriving in this world, there had been nowhere to buy toothpaste and toothbrushes, so she always rubbed her teeth with her fingers. Her finger skin had turned white from all the rubbing, but she could never get the dirt out from between her teeth.

Si Yan couldn’t help sighing heavily.

The cold-blooded Beastman filled a wooden basin with water and placed it in front of Si Yan. He asked coolly, "What’s wrong?"

Si Yan looked at the basin of clear water before her.

It had to be said, her Beast Husband was indeed considerate!

Like a little rabbit, Si Yan rushed over and used the water he had brought to wash her face.

Dongchi passed her a small cup of water and said obediently, "Mother, rinse your mouth."

Si Yan was delighted. She took the water and began to rinse her mouth with a smile.

He watched her for a while, then slowly asked, "Do you want to brush your teeth?"

He had noticed.

Si Yan didn’t play coy. While rinsing, she mumbled, "Yes, I do, but I’ve never seen anyone here brush their teeth."

The male’s long hair cascaded down, his features sharp and clear. "Some females in Myriad Beasts City brush their teeth," he stated. "They use a fruit called ’Rinse-fruit.’ I saw some on my way to find you."

He continued, "Dark Sun Lake should be safe now. Let Tai Seng protect you well. I’ll go and get some Rinse-fruit."

Si Yan put down the cup and asked him, "Are you leaving? How long will you be gone?"

From Dark Sun Lake to the place where Rinse-fruit was found, a round trip would take at least three to four days.

But he replied, "At most, two to three days."

Si Yan thought that nothing should happen in just two to three days.

So she nodded.

「...」

The weather was getting hotter, and two adorable four-year-old Sen Ran snake cubs were hiding among a migrating troop of leopard Beastmen.

One had white hair, his tender face pure and clean like a little prince.

The other had green hair, half of his face covered with a silver mask, his eyes vigilant as he instinctively protected his youngest brother.

Since separating from Si Yan and Dongchi, many changes had occurred within the migrating troops from Black Tiger City.

Xi Qing and Bei Ji decided that staying in Black Tiger City was no longer an option.

So, they slipped away stealthily. They encountered another migrating troop and transformed into their snake forms to hide among their goods.

They thought these leopard Beastmen were also migrating towards Dark Sun Lake.

However, to Xi Qing and Bei Ji’s surprise, the troop was heading not towards Dark Sun Lake, but towards Myriad Beasts City.

By the time they realized they were going the wrong way, it was already too late.

Anxiety was written all over Bei Ji’s little face. "Third brother, third brother, what do we do? Mother will surely go to Dark Sun Lake, not Myriad Beasts City. We’re getting farther and farther from Mother now."

With their mother and their two older brothers absent, Xi Qing had to take on the responsibility of an older brother.

His small, tender face now held the bearing of an older brother as he reassured little Bei Ji, "Bei Ji, don’t worry. It’s said that Myriad Beasts City has protective formations against the Blaze Day. As long as we can get into Myriad Beasts City, we brothers will definitely find a way to survive. Don’t panic. We’ll take refuge there first. Once the Blaze Day passes, we’ll be able to find Mother."

However, just as the two brothers were whispering to each other, the migrating leopard Beastmen suddenly felt movement within their goods.

It wasn’t long before the two small, cold-blooded snake Beastmen were pulled out!

Cold-blooded Beastmen were not well-received. Facing so many leopard Beastmen, the two cubs immediately curled up in fear.

"I thought it was some kind of bug; turns out it’s two little worms!" a scar-faced male leopard Beastman sneered.

"Cold-blooded snake Beastmen, huh. They’re big, must be Sen Ran snake Beastmen. And two of them."

"Hey, what’s that on his face? Odd, it’s not growing there; it’s being worn."

One of them brushed aside the hair on Xi Qing’s face and reached out to remove the mask.

Xi Qing struggled fiercely. "Don’t touch! That was given to me by my mother; you have no right to touch it!"

"Little snake cub, you think we’ll stop just because you said so?" a leopard Beastman laughed mockingly and coldly kicked Xi Qing.

Xi Qing clenched his belly in pain.

"Third brother!!!" Bei Ji struggled.

"Don’t touch...it was made for me by my mother... don’t touch, don’t!"

The leopard Beastman ignored his struggles and took off his mask.

Then they mocked him even more.

"I thought it was something special, but it’s nothing. Such an ugly thing."

Having said that, he discarded it like trash to the side, even stepping on it as an afterthought.

Xi Qing stared in a daze at his trampled mask.

"Third brother!" Bei Ji, enraged, shouted, "Stop it, you’re going too far!!"

"We’re going too far?" the leopard Beastman sneered. "Crying cold-blooded snake Beastmen look quite fetching. They snuck onto our cart and rode all the way with us; taking a little something in return isn’t too much, right?"

"Of course not. This kid looks fine. We could sell him for some money in Myriad Beasts City to those who fancy children. As for this one, too ugly. An eyesore. Sell him cheap, just enough for some hard labor."

"Really too ugly. It makes one uncomfortable just looking."

Saying so, he kicked towards Xi Qing.

That kick made Xi Qing’s head buzz.

"Third brother!!"

"Third brother!!!!"

Bei Ji’s voice was becoming somewhat indistinct to him.

After his face was burned, he had experienced much of the world’s warmth and coldness.

A disfigured face had shown him countless hideous human hearts.

Hideous human hearts...

Got annoyed today, and just nowhere to vent. Cold-blooded snake Beastmen, worthless things nobody cares about. Be my punching bag!

It’s too hot today, so hot it makes one’s blood boil! A four-year-old cub, just perfect to vent on.

Cold-blooded snake Beastmen. Beat them up, tie them up, and sell them for some salt. That’s their use.

So ugly, truly hideous. The face is ruined. Such a pity, it won’t sell for much.

Wave after wave of voices echoed in Xi Qing’s head.

What’s going on?

How come there are voices similar to Nan Mo’s telepathic communication?

Xi Qing slowly lifted his head.

Could these be the inner thoughts of the leopard Beastmen in front of him?!

To his shock, Xi Qing astoundingly thought: Can I actually hear other people’s thoughts?

He looked towards Bei Ji. Bei Ji was almost ready to fight to the death.

Xi Qing squinted.

He couldn’t hear Bei Ji’s thoughts.

Why?

However, at that moment, it was as if a gust of wind had appeared out of nowhere.

A huge, reassuring presence, like a mountain, grand and shimmering with golden light, dazzled Xi Qing’s eyes.

"Hey."

A male stood in front of Xi Qing.

In an instant, his radiance blinded everyone present!

Beastmen in the Beast World were used to relying on their sharp claws, but behind him was a signature golden broadsword.

The male’s long hair on his forehead fluttered, making him seem flamboyant yet towering and simple-minded.

His voice was as deep as his stature: big and steady.

"Excuse me, how do I get to Myriad Beasts City? I think I have a sister in Myriad Beasts City."

The leopard Beastmen turned. Seeing such a blindingly golden figure, they instantly became enraged.

"Where did this idiot come from!"

The glittering Beastman slightly raised his head. "As a Beastman, you should be more straightforward. Why use such foul language?"

However, the leopard Beastmen wouldn’t listen to this dazzling figure. They charged forward, ready to take his life!

The glittering male suddenly turned. Without even drawing his broadsword, he sent the group of leopard Beastmen flying, crashing to the ground with THUDS. Some were injured, others crippled.

The golden figure revealed a shimmering smile, casually saying, "Hey, why are you all lying on the ground? There’s no need for everyone to prostrate just because you saw me."

They wailed miserably, nursing their wounds.

"Gold... Golden Crystal... Golden Crystal Beastman?!!!"

"Oh dear."

The shining Beastman felt bored. He turned and saw Bei Ji staring dumbfounded, and Xi Qing covered in injuries.

Hey, these two little worms seem much more pleasing to the eye than that group of fools, and they give me a sense of familiarity.

The glowing Beastman squatted in front of Xi Qing and Bei Ji, laughed heartily, and asked, "Do you know where Myriad Beasts City is? I think I have a sister in Myriad Beasts City. Do you know my sister?"

Xi Qing and Bei Ji looked at the towering Beastman. Their shrewd minds instantly understood that the Beastman before them was a huge source of support!

Even though the brothers didn’t know where Myriad Beasts City was, Bei Ji nodded firmly. "We know where Myriad Beasts City is. But we don’t know your sister. Does she have any distinctive features?"

"Distinctive features? ... I don’t know either."

The golden Beastman let out a long sigh.

Xi Qing stood up, his face full of injuries, supported by Bei Ji. Xi Qing picked up his mask, meticulously wiped the blood and dirt off it, and asked, "Didn’t you say she was in Myriad Beasts City? Then let’s go to Myriad Beasts City first."

The radiant Beastman laughed heartily. "Sure! Our kind is naturally benevolent; we generally don’t kill. Although I couldn’t kill those stupid Beastmen who bullied you just now, I did teach them a lesson. In exchange, once we get to Myriad Beasts City, you’ll help me find my sister, okay?"

Xi Qing listened intently for the Beastman’s inner voice, but he couldn’t hear a thing.

Ultimately, he and Bei Ji nodded together. "Okay."
