Done Breeding: Now I Rule the Beastworld

The old man sighed faintly again and took the bronze short knife from Chu Liangyu’s hand.

He gestured with the short knife for a long while without doing anything, and Chu Liangyu was growing impatient.

She couldn’t help but speak up, urging him, "Tsk... Can you hurry it up, old man?"

"Ai-ya, I know, I know. Young people shouldn’t always be so impatient."

Chu Liangyu watched as he made a tiny cut on his fingertip, producing a bead of blood not even the size of a soybean. Her eyelid twitched uncontrollably.

’At this rate, who knows when I’ll ever manage to fill these two porcelain vials.’

"Can’t you just make the cut a little bigger?"

The old man shook his head firmly. "No way, no way. I’m afraid of pain."

"You really don’t have any of the imposing might of a Beast God."

Chu Liangyu’s face was a picture of disappointment, as if hating iron for not becoming steel. But there was nothing she could do. When you’re asking for a favor, you can’t be too aggressive.

It was strangely quiet here. Besides the sound of blood dripping into the porcelain vial, only Chu Liangyu’s impatient urging could be heard.

A long while passed, and the vial was barely a fifth of the way full. Chu Liangyu’s patience finally ran out.

She reached out, grabbed the old man’s hand, and sliced a long gash across his palm.

"Hey, hey, hey... You call this playing fair, girl? Don’t you know you’re supposed to respect your elders?!"

The old man’s cries of "Ouch!" echoed through the space, making it sound for all the world like Chu Liangyu was abusing an elderly person.

"Oh, give me a break. A little wound like this will heal on its own in no time."

In just a short while, Chu Liangyu filled one porcelain vial. She capped it tightly, placed it in her storage bag, and then started on the second one.

As she moved, the old man noticed that the storage bag hanging at her waist looked a little familiar.

"I say, girl, you even took my storage bag? If you have it, what am I supposed to use? (｡•́︿•̀｡)"

"Let me borrow it for now. In a couple of days, I’ll get you an even better one."

The old man smacked his lips and relented. "That’ll work."

Their world operated on a completely different system from the Cultivation World. There was no way to craft storage bags on their own. The old man’s storage bag had been acquired for him by a Guardian friend, so it was no wonder he was a bit reluctant to part with it.

He also knew that Chu Liangyu possessed a Trading System, so he believed her promise.

"Girl, do you know what you have to do to take my position?"

In the time it took to exchange a few sentences, Chu Liangyu had already filled the second porcelain vial. Although the old man could heal the wound quickly on his own, Chu Liangyu still sprinkled some powder on it.

Hearing his question, Chu Liangyu looked up at him and said without hesitation, "I know. Take out Jiang Li, and I’ll be the final victor."

"Not quite, not quite." The old man shook his head, refuting Chu Liangyu’s answer.

Surprise and suspicion flickered across Chu Liangyu’s face. She instinctively shot back, "Old man, were you bored again? Did you create a few more competitors for me?"

The smile on the old man’s face stiffened. He gave Chu Liangyu an unceremonious flick on the forehead. "What nonsense are you talking about!"

"Right now, there are indeed only three of you as successor candidates. That kid Ye Han is out of the running. So, theoretically, it seems you just have to defeat Jiang Li."

"But that’s only in theory. Besides that, you also need to pass the trial of the Heavenly Dao and get it to acknowledge you as a Guardian."

Chu Liangyu looked thoughtful. Just as she was about to say something, two figures, one large and one small, approached from the distance. They looked somewhat familiar.

"They’re here."

The relaxed atmosphere from their conversation vanished, replaced by serious expressions as they watched the newcomers.

"What’s this? Didn’t someone just say that an innocent person has nothing to fear? What’s with the long faces now?"

Chu Liangyu glanced at the two of them, her gaze finally settling on the man with the cold, stern face.

"A thing that can’t even be considered a Guardian, what right do you have to speak to me?"

Chu Liangyu suddenly felt a wave of stifling frustration, but what the man said was true.

"Young people shouldn’t be so arrogant when they speak. It’ll save you from some harsh reality checks later."

The old man patted Chu Liangyu’s shoulder comfortingly, then took a step forward, positioning himself in front of her.

Yu didn’t take the remark to heart. Instead, he cut straight to the point. "What do we need to do for you to stop slaughtering those souls?"

"No matter what you offer, I cannot allow those souls to remain in the Beastman World. If you don’t want us to slaughter them, then take them back yourselves."

"Furthermore, you must compensate this world with five thousand Origin Pearls and make a Heavenly Dao oath to never again send Otherworldly Souls here."

Origin Pearls are energy crystals spontaneously formed from a world’s Origin Power. They are equivalent to batteries, capable of replenishing energy and repairing damage to the Origin Power.

But Origin Pearls are not easy to create. Therefore, five thousand was an exorbitant sum.

"And what if I refuse?"

"If you refuse, there’s not much we can do, is there? We’ll just have to forcibly expel those Otherworldly Souls."

"Right, girl?"

Chu Liangyu had only been dejected for a moment before quickly recovering. Seeing him turn the topic to her, she played along. "That’s right. Besides, I’m not a Guardian. There are no rules to restrict me."

Her candid admission of her status seemed to infuriate Yu, who had previously disdained to even look at her. His breathing grew heavier with anger.

The two sides were at a stalemate. After a long pause, Yu suddenly turned and left without any warning. Lai San stood frozen for a moment before remembering to chase after him.

"If you want to slaughter them, then go ahead. It doesn’t really affect us anyway."

Yu’s final words struck them like a clap of thunder.

After the two figures had completely disappeared, Chu Liangyu hesitated. "Could it be... they aren’t actually the ones sending the souls?"

"It’s them. I’ve been investigating for a long time; there’s no mistake."

The old man shook his head, his expression heavy. "I suspect... they smuggled souls from another world and then sent them to the Beastman World."

"In that case, no matter the outcome, it won’t affect them," Chu Liangyu added, her brow furrowed.

"Although the results of my investigation point to those two, it’s all indirect. It doesn’t prove anything."

"I was hoping we could use this to threaten them into taking the souls back, but I never thought they’d be so cautious and have this trick up their sleeve."

In the current situation, a single misstep could lead to the annihilation of the Little World.

The most urgent task now is to find the people possessed by the Otherworldly Souls and eliminate them one by one.

"There’s one outsider in my tribe. As for the rest, compile all their locations for me."

This matter needed to be handled as quickly as possible, so Chu Liangyu was no longer in the mood to stay.

"I know. You head back first. I’ll give the information to Lou Sang later and have him send it to you through the Trading System."

Chu Liangyu wasn’t sure if it was her imagination, but she felt the old man had suddenly aged a great deal, his spirited energy from before now gone.
