After I Dumped 7 Beast Husbands and Ran

Nan Zishi nodded in agreement. "Yes. Your dad must have been heartbroken for you."

Then, Li Yun asked again, "Nan Zishi, you’re sure you don’t have a system, right?"

Nan Zishi shook her head. "I’m sure. I don’t have a system."

Li Yun said, "You probably don’t. This cave naturally shields against systems."

"Huh?"

Li Yun’s thoughts jumped around. She quickly asked another question, "Nan Zishi, when you transmigrated, was that game I loved to play, *XXX*, still around? Are people still playing it?"

"It is, and people are still playing it."

"Are housing prices still going up? Are they still skyrocketing?"

"They went up for a few years, but now they’ve dropped a little."

"They dropped?"

"Mhm."

"Hahahaha!" Li Yun cheered up just talking about things from their hometown.

The two girls chatted about everything under the sun—housing prices, popular games and apps, celery, pork, and all sorts of other changes.

Li Yun’s eyes sparkled, filled with a longing for home.

"I don’t know if my dad is still alive," she said. "It’s been so many years. He might have already passed away."

The sadness in Li Yun’s eyes was gone. "Actually, I’ve come to terms with it over the years. I love my dad, but I shouldn’t have kept trying to use those crooked methods to change his fate. My emotions back then kept me from seeing the system’s malice. I fell for its trap so easily."

"I found mates here, got pregnant, and had cubs. Not a single one of them was healthy. And my Childbirth System 006 forced me to keep switching Beast Husbands, forbidding me from settling down with just one. It made me betray one Beast Husband after another. It was truly a sin."

Li Yun sat up, crossing her legs. "Back then, I just kept thinking, ’What right does it have to force me to have kids?’ I’m a natural-born rebel. I just wouldn’t do it."

"The system started a countdown. You know, 3 hours, 2 hours, 1 hour."

"I was like, ’Who do you think you’re scaring? Trying to copy *The Three-Body Problem* with a countdown to make me nervous? I’d like to see just how you’re going to kill me!’"

"Later..." Li Yun lifted the hair at the back of her neck, revealing a horrifying scar. "I was electrocuted."

Nan Zishi was stunned. "Electrocuted?!"

"Yeah. I was brave. I refused to be spooked, so I tried to figure out where the electric shocks were coming from. I felt it was at the back of my neck, so I had one of my Beast Husbands use a Beast Tooth to carve the flesh out right here!"

Nan Zishi: "..."

"The medical conditions here are terrible. I got seriously ill and almost died, but I survived."

"That 006 realized it had lost control of me and just started screaming in my head."

"It couldn’t use physical attacks on me anymore, so it switched to mental attacks. Its mental attacks were ridiculous. Even after all that, it was still trying to hypnotize me into having babies. No fucking way was I having its babies!"

Nan Zishi: "..."

"After that, I wandered all over the Beast World. Later, probably because all my cubs were unhealthy, I was accused of abusing them and got locked up in the mining area in a complete daze. Once I was there, I somehow stumbled my way down here. And I discovered... my world had gone quiet."

"Nan Zishi, that was when I realized this place could naturally block the system. No matter what I did, said, or made, it was like it had no idea."

The more Li Yun spoke, the more excited she became. "Back then, I thought, ’If another victimized girl comes to this world, I’ll have her take refuge here too.’ Even if she doesn’t stay long-term, it’s good to just hide out for some peace and quiet. So I left the mining area again and left messages in a bunch of places. I was just thinking it would be great if I could help the girls who came after me. Any little bit of help would be good."

"It’s fixed," Nan Zishi said, handing her the phone. "It’s charging now."

"Wow, I love you, I love you so much!!"

Li Yun turned on the phone and immediately started scrolling through her photos. When she found the pictures of her dad and grandma, she caressed the people on the screen. Even though she said she didn’t care, tears still fell uncontrollably.

"Dad... Grandma... Little Yun misses you so much..."

Nan Zishi gently patted her back, comforting her.

"Thanks, you’re so sweet," Li Yun said. "I’m okay. I’ll be okay in a minute."

After waiting for her to calm down, Nan Zishi asked, "After all these years, is your system still there?"

"It is. It shows up the moment I leave this cave. It will try everything to make me keep having children. That’s why I can only hide here for some peace. There are too many males in this world who lack females. If I get hypnotized by the system, it’ll be a disaster."

Nan Zishi completely agreed. She mentioned, "Li Yun, on my way here, I met two of your Beast Husbands."

"Which two?" Li Yun asked curiously.

"Fox Xiang from Stone Village, and Mermaid Fish Dust from the great sea."

"Oh, them." Li Yun didn’t seem very interested in her Beast Husbands and didn’t want to talk much about them.

Seeing her reluctance, Nan Zishi dropped the subject.

"Nan Zishi, if you ever get a chance to go back, you should take it," Li Yun said. "After coming here, when you want to find a mate, men just throw themselves at you. When you want to have kids, you can have a whole litter in two months... so many kids you can’t even count them..."

"You see, Beast Husbands and cubs aren’t important. Dad, Grandma—they’re the ones who are most important."

Nan Zishi’s heart skipped a heavy beat. For some reason, Nan Zishi, who was always a good listener, suddenly felt a strong urge to argue back!

’Beast Husbands are important, and the cubs are important too!’

’Hu Bai, Lanxing, Xuan Jin, Wolf Day and Wolf Night, and Chi Xiao—all of them are important!’

’Huo Jun, Fox Qi, Little Fu, Lang Xian and Wolf Mu, She Yang, and Lu Ming—they are all important too!’

’No one is unimportant!’

Her heart began to ache. In a heavy voice, she said, "Li Yun, I don’t think so. Beast Husbands and cubs are family, too. They’re just as important."

Li Yun didn’t notice that something was wrong with her. She said nonchalantly, "After having so many cubs, you can still think that way? That’s really rare. I won’t interfere with your thoughts."

"By the way, can I keep the power bank? I really want it. But if you don’t think it’s right, I’ll give it back."

Nan Zishi took out a small, foldable solar charging panel. "You can. Here, take this too. It’s not very efficient at charging, but it works."

"This is great! I love you so much!" Li Yun treasured the things Nan Zishi gave her and put them away carefully.

Nan Zishi placed the Beast Skin bag she was carrying beside her. "This is for you."

Li Yun said, "Thanks. Let’s see what it is... Corn? Watermelon? You actually managed to get such good stuff!! I haven’t eaten watermelon in so many years. Nan Zishi, I love you!"

Nan Zishi’s expression darkened slightly. She couldn’t stay any longer. She said, "Li Yun, I have to go."

The girl looked up. "You’re not staying in the cave? It’s really big down here. I’d love to have some company."

Nan Zishi shook her head. "My Beast Husbands and cubs are waiting for me."

"Alright then. If you need anything, you can come down and find me. You’re a girl from Earth, just like me. If I can help, I will."

"Okay. If I can help you, I’ll do my best too."

"Thanks," Li Yun said with a smile.

Nan Zishi strode out. When she saw Xuan Jin and Wolf Day, she broke into a run and threw herself at Xuan Jin.

Xuan Jin caught her in a full embrace. The sensitive Snake Beastman immediately sensed something was wrong with her. "What is it? Why are you in such a bad mood?"

’Go home...’

’Going back to Earth would mean abandoning my lover and children here.’

’But if I don’t go back, I’ll never see my mom and dad, or my little brother Nan Zhinian, ever again.’

’Both sides are family that I love dearly...’

"Xuan Jin. Lower your head."

The Xuan Snake Beastman obediently lowered his head.

But the lover in his arms suddenly looked up and, with perfect aim, kissed him.
