Done Breeding: Now I Rule the Beastworld

Chi Yizhong shook his head, however, and corrected him. "No, you’re not mistaken. I may not be good at other things, but when it comes to her, I have to be."

Feng Qiwu’s mouth twitched. He retorted mercilessly, "You’re quite proud of yourself."

"I’m not proud."

Feng Qiwu: ...

He suddenly didn’t feel like talking anymore. He turned his head and walked straight to the front, falling into step beside Chu Liangyu. Noticing something wrapped around her hand, he immediately asked nervously, "Female Master, are you injured?"

Chu Liangyu froze for a moment, then followed his gaze. Understanding dawned on her, and she explained, "No, this is Xiang Qiancheng’s headband. He gave it to me."

’No wonder I thought Xiang Qiancheng seemed a bit off earlier. It’s because he wasn’t wearing anything on his head. So he gave it to the Female Master. He’s quite the schemer.’

’But it seems the Female Master doesn’t like it that much. She didn’t even wear it on her head, just wrapped it casually around her hand.’

As Feng Qiwu thought this, he glanced at the hairpin on her head, his tone becoming a little lighter. "Oh, so that’s how it is. I think it looks quite nice worn like that."

Chu Liangyu glanced at him but said nothing. In just a few steps, they arrived at the courtyard where they would eat. The layout, however, was rather unique.

A semicircular table had a section jutting out from the center, with a space to enter and exit. It looked like it had been specially prepared for her.

"This was something the few of us came up with together."

Before she could ask, Feng Qiwu continued, "Female Master, you’re enclosed within the semicircle of the table. This way, you’re not too far from any of us. Plus, you can easily reach every dish."

Chu Liangyu touched her forehead. ’Suddenly, I feel like having too many Beast Husbands isn’t such a good thing.’ This was clearly a compromise they’d come up with after failing to agree on seating arrangements.

’Still, it’s a good thing they didn’t make me the judge of it, or my head would have exploded.’

"Female Master, come and eat."

While the food on the table in front of Chu Liangyu was served on plates, the others had their food placed directly on large, plentiful, leftover leaves from the Wood Spirit Clan. It was a clear testament to their astonishing appetites.

But Chu Liangyu was used to it, so she didn’t find it strange.

The food they were eating had been stored by the men before winter. Their strength was already formidable and their hunting skills were top-notch, so after they had provided enough food for the tribe, they stored some for themselves in a cellar.

Chu Liangyu also had food she had hunted herself in her own cellar, but not much—at most, enough for herself.

’If they eat like this, it’ll all be gone in a few days.’

Glancing at the food on the table, Chu Liangyu let out a sigh of relief. It seemed they had taken all this from their own cellars and hadn’t opened hers.

Chu Liangyu nodded in satisfaction. ’They really are quite thoughtful.’

"Female Master, the performance of those females today was truly surprising." Yu He’s voice was full of astonishment. Then he asked her, "Back when you had them learn that Body Technique, was it so they could achieve Beastification?"

He was sitting to Chu Liangyu’s left, so she could see the expression on his face without even turning her head.

Chu Liangyu was naturally in a good mood since her people were being praised, so she patiently explained, "You’ve guessed correctly. It’s just that their progress has been much faster than I expected."

"Then why doesn’t the Female Master let the male Beastmen learn this?" As Xiang Qiancheng asked this, his gaze swept almost imperceptibly over her wrist, as if he genuinely just wanted to know the answer.

Chu Liangyu met his gaze, paused briefly, and then said, "Male Beastmen are already exceptionally gifted, and their physical conditioning is several times better than the females’. For them to learn this would merely be gilding the lily—a waste of time."

"Besides, the tribe doesn’t have enough medicinal herbs to support the entire population."

Xiang Qiancheng nodded as if in understanding and didn’t ask any more questions, focusing on eating the food in his hands.

Hu Qiumu sat to Chu Liangyu’s right, directly facing Xiang Qiancheng. Just now, when Xiang Qiancheng looked up, their eyes met.

He’d used the chance to read the other man’s thoughts. And Xiang Qiancheng was unhappy that Chu Liangyu wasn’t wearing the headband he had given her.

This was the second of the Talent Skills he had awakened after leveling up, but he could only use it ten times a day, which was quite a limitation.

The rest of the meal was quite peaceful, with no open conflicts, but the atmosphere was a little strange.

Chu Liangyu opened her mouth, but after a long pause, couldn’t think of anything to say and decided to just keep quiet.

’It seems it’s better to hold fewer gatherings like this. Not only are they time-consuming and exhausting, but the meal wasn’t even that enjoyable.’

"Everyone rest well tonight. We’ll continue tomorrow."

The men, some sitting and some standing, all watched her leave, their gazes following her. Each had different thoughts on his mind, their expressions unreadable.

"Everything’s about packed up. What are you still looking at? Let’s go." Xiong Xianhui slung an arm around Hu Qiumu’s shoulders, and the two of them walked out of the courtyard together.

"You were quiet during dinner. What’s wrong? Did something seem off?"

Hu Qiumu shook his head. "It’s nothing. I was just thinking about how to spend more time with her."

"Take me with you, and I’ll forget about what happened last time."

Xiong Xianhui immediately perked up at the suggestion, patting Hu Qiumu’s shoulder earnestly.

"Anything else is fine, but not this."

"Hey, you... that’s the only thing I’m asking for! You sure were quick to refuse."

"You big idiot. You should be glad he’s not just using you. You want him to bring you along? Keep dreaming."

Feng Qiwu’s mocking voice came from behind. Xiong Xianhui immediately spun around, glaring at him unhappily.

"You think you’re so smart? You wild chicken."

He wasn’t good-tempered to begin with and was prone to fighting at the slightest disagreement. Naturally, he wasn’t about to let Feng Qiwu humiliate him.

"I’m just telling the truth. You think it’s not true just because you don’t like hearing it?"

Feng Qiwu hated it when people called him a wild chicken, and it was especially irritating coming from Xiong Xianhui, who had the most common bloodline among them.

The smile on his face vanished in an instant. The next moment, a palm strike carrying a fierce aura shot toward Xiong Xianhui’s face.

If that blow landed, he’d be half-dead.

Fortunately, Xiong Xianhui reacted quickly, crossing his arms in front of him to block the attack.

But his anger had already been ignited. Usually, in situations like this, he would be the first to strike. Today, he had only been holding back out of respect for Chu Liangyu.

But his opponent had kept provoking him with that contemptuous attitude. This was something he could no longer tolerate.

"ROAR..."

A low, deep roar echoed out, making everyone’s hearts tremble. At the same time, a brown bear the size of a small mountain appeared before them.

It locked directly onto Feng Qiwu’s position, and a huge paw swiped viciously toward him.

"You think you’re worthy of fighting me?" Feng Qiwu leaped into the air to dodge the attack. He looked up to meet the brown bear’s crimson eyes and said, "But what you said just now really pissed me off. I don’t mind taking it out on you."
