Done Breeding: Now I Rule the Beastworld

The young one was truly dutiful, but the Beast Father was also truly rebellious!

Everyone is a picky eater sometimes, but that stops being important when you’re about to starve to death.

But not He Yushu. He would rather starve than eat anything else, and Chu Liangyu couldn’t understand it at all.

The journey to Void Island was long; it wasn’t a place they could reach in a day or two.

As the sky began to darken, Chu Liangyu stopped him. "Let’s rest for the night. We’ll continue our journey tomorrow."

The Red-crowned Crane nodded and found a relatively open area to land. "I’ll go find some food," he said. "The forest is dangerous, so wait here for me."

’His idea of "finding food" probably means catching fish in the river, doesn’t it?’

Beastmen had huge appetites. It would be one thing if he were only feeding himself, but with her to feed as well, there was no telling when he’d be back.

But in her current state, she really wasn’t in any condition to hunt. She said tactfully, "I’ll have to trouble you then. Anything with a lot of meat is fine, like an elk. I’m not picky."

"Alright."

After giving her an "okay" gesture, He Yushu coolly turned and left.

’To be honest, even though she’d just been sitting on his back without exerting herself, after so long, her back had started to ache.’

So, the moment she dismounted, she stretched her body. Once the stiffness eased, she sat on the ground and began to repair her meridians.

----

This was right around the time the daily duels in the tribe were ending. Although she still had a sliver of her Divine Sense there, her own situation demanded most of her attention.

As a result, a small flaw appeared in her doppelganger.

It would start staring blankly at some random spot without any warning, which people found rather baffling.

"What are you thinking about, Female Master?"

A gentle voice came from behind her. Whether intentionally or not, his gaze lingered on Chu Liangyu’s left wrist for a long moment.

"Why aren’t you wearing the headband anymore?"

The moment the voice reached her, Chu Liangyu shifted her attention back. A flash of confusion appeared in her doppelganger’s eyes, then she had it say, "It’s inconvenient when I’m washing up, so I left it in my room."

"Listen to you. If the Female Master doesn’t want to wear it, she doesn’t have to. Does she need to get your permission or something?"

Jinling emerged from some corner. His steps seemed slow, yet he covered a great distance, arriving beside the two of them in just a few strides.

He crossed his arms, a cryptic smile on his lips, looking as if he’d been listening to their conversation for a while.

Seeing the situation, Chu Liangyu expected Xiang Qiancheng to at least snap back at Jinling. She was already preparing an excuse to leave, after all.

But to her surprise, Xiang Qiancheng didn’t even spare Jinling a glance, completely ignoring what he’d said.

"Female Master, speaking of which, I have a gift for you as well."

"Mine is something I’ve been carefully preparing for a long time, unlike Xiang Qiancheng, who gave you something he’d already used."

Before she knew it, Jinling had taken the spot closest to her.

Chu Liangyu raised an eyebrow and turned her head to look at him. "Oh? And what are you giving me?"

"I... I’ll give it to you when we get back to your courtyard."

Jinling’s eyes darted away, and for some reason, a faint blush rose on his cheeks.

"Female Master, he probably doesn’t have a gift at all. He only said that so he could stay with you."

Xiang Qiancheng’s gentle voice was full of certainty; he had seen right through Jinling’s ploy.

"Who says! Of course I prepared a gift."

"Oh? Then take it out and let me see it."

"It’s not for you, so why should I show you?"

Xiang Qiancheng’s lips curved into a smile, now even more certain of his guess. "If you don’t dare show me, it means you didn’t prepare anything."

"I did prepare it!"

"No, you didn’t."

...

’This whole thing could be solved if he just took the gift out. What is that guy Jinling being so stubborn about?’

Chu Liangyu really didn’t want to listen to them argue anymore. Shaking her head in resignation, she took the opportunity while they were distracted to walk away.

The two of them were red-faced from arguing. No, that wasn’t quite right.

To be precise, only Jinling was red-faced.

Xiang Qiancheng noticed Chu Liangyu leaving but said nothing, nor did he alert Jinling.

Thus, by the time Jinling finally realized, there was no one beside him.

"When did she leave?"

"A while ago."

Xiang Qiancheng’s tone was nonchalant, which thoroughly infuriated Jinling.

"Psycho."

Jinling couldn’t help but curse under his breath before turning and chasing after Chu Liangyu.

By this time, Chu Liangyu was nearly at her courtyard. She thought she could finally have some peace and quiet to focus on restoring her meridians.

But then, a somewhat familiar form of address reached her ears: "Sister Liangyu."

Usually, only Xiong Jiaojiao called her that, so she subconsciously assumed it was her.

Thinking Xiong Jiaojiao must have something to discuss, her feeling of impatience subsided.

"Feng Qingqing, you... Is there something you need?"

Unexpectedly, the visitor wasn’t Xiong Jiaojiao. Remembering how she had been addressed, Chu Liangyu’s expression turned strange. She gave her a look but didn’t say anything.

"I do have something to discuss. Can we go inside to talk?"

On the other end, the real Chu Liangyu, who was controlling the doppelganger, narrowed her eyes. Imperceptibly, she sized up Feng Qingqing all over again.

"If you have something to say, say it here. It’s not convenient to invite you in right now."

"Fine, then we’ll talk here."

Feng Qingqing glanced around before turning back and stepping closer to Chu Liangyu.

"Just tell me what it is, I can..."

As Feng Qingqing drew inexplicably closer, Chu Liangyu was about to say something to stop her. But then the woman raised her arm, and with a flourish of her sleeve, all Chu Liangyu could see was the embroidered pattern on the fabric.

Before Chu Liangyu could react, she lost control of her doppelganger in the very next moment.

In the instant she lost control, she thought she saw someone running toward them from a distance, shouting something.

"Who are you? Let her go, now!"

"Oh my~ I’ve been discovered~"

The woman giggled, but her arm around Chu Liangyu didn’t loosen in the slightest.

In an instant, the petite and pretty woman’s figure began to stretch, growing until she was the size of a typical male Beastman.

But this form was extremely gaunt, with prominent cheekbones and frighteningly pale skin, giving off an incredibly strange impression.

"Ugly freak."

Jinling cursed without hesitation. He didn’t wait for the stranger to hand over Chu Liangyu, but charged forward himself.

But the person was incredibly fast. Jinling’s several attacks were all dodged with ease.

"I don’t have time to play with you. See you next time, little handsome~"

He drew out the last syllable. Jinling, who had managed to grab a corner of his clothes, felt his hand tremble. He suddenly felt like his hand was filthy.

"Pah! You’re disgusting! If you want to leave, leave her behind!"

Disgusted, Jinling shook the hand that had just been pried loose and sprinted after the fleeing figure.
