Done Breeding: Now I Rule the Beastworld

Reasoning was for normal people. The Witch Doctor was clearly not one of them, which meant she had to play hardball.

Beneath her sleeve, she gripped the bronze short knife tightly.

Chu Liangyu’s attitude suddenly changed, as if she had been successfully threatened. Her tone softened. "Alright, then. I’ll give it to you now."

The pale golden pearl glowed brilliantly. The Witch Doctor’s eyes were transfixed as he reached out with trembling hands to take it.

Just as the pearl was within his grasp, the Witch Doctor saw a sudden blur. In the next instant, the pearl was nowhere to be seen.

Chu Liangyu moved with lightning speed, pressing the short knife to the Witch Doctor’s neck.

"Tell them to let me out of the city, or I’ll kill you."

Witch Doctors held a noble status in the Beast World. That, combined with the suddenness of her move, meant that no one had time to react.

"I am a Witch Doctor! An act like this will incur the wrath of the masses."

"I don’t know about the wrath of the masses, but I do know that if you don’t do as I say, I’ll have one more dead beast on my hands."

The Witch Doctor fell silent and nodded. "Don’t do anything rash."

The short knife was extremely sharp. With just a slight press from Chu Liangyu, a bead of blood welled up.

The Witch Doctor had no choice but to shout at the uniformed Beastmen, "Stay back! Let her leave the city."

The guards exchanged a look and moved aside.

Her outrageous act drew a crowd of onlookers. As she backed away toward the city gates, the crowd followed.

On the crowded walkway, only the space around her was empty.

Rounding a corner, Chu Liangyu found herself back on the street she had first entered.

A cacophony of noise instantly flooded her ears.

"A Mermaid! A deal you can’t beat! Everyone, come and see!"

"This one’s a true masterpiece of nature! Bidding starts at just twenty beasts, highest bidder takes him!"

Mermaids were extremely rare on the continent. Legend had it that every one of them was an unparalleled beauty.

Not only that, but the pearls formed from Mermaid Tears could be ground into a powder to heal wounds.

The Beastmen’s curiosity was piqued, and they surged toward the shouting.

As it happened, Chu Liangyu’s path was blocked by the crowd.

Annoyed, she pressed the blade unpleasantly tighter against the Witch Doctor’s neck.

The Witch Doctor’s expression was grim. He also found the crowd to be a nuisance and consciously raised his voice. "Make way! Can’t you see I’m being held hostage?"

The rowdy crowd fell silent in an instant. They all turned to stare at Chu Liangyu and her captive with odd expressions.

Noticing the other group following behind them, they understood the situation and all cleared a path.

The Mermaid the Beastmen were talking about was now visible. His entire body was bound with vines, but he continued to struggle, a fierce expression on his face.

But just as the legends claimed, he was indeed quite handsome.

Though he wasn’t female, as a Beast Husband, he was certainly easy on the eyes.

Chu Liangyu’s peripheral vision caught sight of him, and she faltered for a moment.

It was Yu He, her fourth Beast Husband.

This guy was a classic case of all action and no talk. Right now, Chu Liangyu was like a clay idol crossing a river—barely able to save herself, let alone anyone else. She had no energy to spare for a rescue.

She pretended not to know him and kept walking without pause.

"Female Master."

Chu Liangyu’s eyelid twitched. She feigned deafness and only quickened her pace.

Yu He’s struggles grew more violent. His captors were distracted by Chu Liangyu, allowing him to escape in a sudden burst.

He ran toward Chu Liangyu without hesitation. In an instant, the crowd was in an uproar, making Chu Liangyu’s escape that much more difficult.

"I don’t care if what he says is true! We caught him, so he’s ours!"

"Little female, just hand him over, and we won’t make trouble for you."

Yu He stood resolutely by Chu Liangyu’s side, shamelessly forcing her to share in his misfortune.

An indescribable frustration welled up in Chu Liangyu’s heart. She shot Yu He a cold glare. "I don’t know him. If you want him, just take him."

Their first meeting had been much the same. If it weren’t for the system’s requirements, Chu Liangyu would have wanted to stay as far away from this kind of person as possible.

"If that’s the case, then this is simple."

"Little female, step aside. We’re going to grab him."

Chu Liangyu nodded and stepped aside without a second thought.

"You!"

In the next moment, Yu He was tackled to the ground by the group, and another round of vines was wrapped around him.

She was about to leave the city. Chu Liangyu had no time to spare for his shocked and resentful gaze.

"Don’t follow me. Once I’m somewhere safe, I’ll naturally let him go."

Some of the Beastmen decided it was none of their business; watching the spectacle couldn’t get in the way of their own trading. They followed only as far as the city gate before turning back.

As for the guards, there was nothing they could do about her.

She walked on like this for a long time, until Ten Thousand Beasts City had completely disappeared from view.

Without waiting for the Witch Doctor to speak, Chu Liangyu knocked him unconscious with a sharp chop to the neck.

Before leaving, she looted everything he had on him, including the beast hides he wore.

Finally, she used some nearby vines to tie him up and hang him from the highest, most conspicuous tree.

The Witch Doctor, with his wrinkled skin, looked like a withered, yellow, human-shaped leaf from a distance—a sight both horrifying and ridiculous.

Witch Doctors were respected figures wherever they went. How could something like this happen to one? This was, in a way, a fate more agonizing for him than death.

Chu Liangyu had grasped this aspect of his psyche, which was why she hadn’t simply killed him.

[Ding! Tradable items detected!]

[Items: One bottle of Red Sun Grass, one bottle of Soul Reviving Grass Seeds.]

[Value: One set of Mid Tier Defense Magic Robe.]

[Trading Plane: Cultivation World]

[Do you wish to trade?]

Both of these were Body Tempering Herbs required by the Golden Body Scripture Technique. After a moment of thought, Chu Liangyu set aside a small number of seeds from each, then chose to trade the rest with the system.

’Xiong Jiaojiao can accelerate plant growth. The next time I see her, I’ll have her plant these two herbs.’

’This Witch Doctor must be quite knowledgeable to have intentionally collected the seeds of these two herbs.’

Chu Liangyu felt the Vestment robe. It was cool to the touch, like water or mist, and felt incredibly comfortable.

It was a complete set, from the inner to outer layers, top to bottom, and even included a sash. No wonder it was called a set.

The entire ensemble was a uniform, pale cyan. When she put it on, it automatically adjusted to fit her perfectly. Not only that, but it could also regulate its temperature according to the environment.

’This is a product from the Cultivation World. It should have a self-cleaning function, too.’ Chu Liangyu was very pleased with this trade.

As dusk fell, Chu Liangyu and the little fox found an empty cave to spend the night in.

After tidying up a little, Chu Liangyu placed the little cub on a pile of weeds.

The moment she stopped to rest, Chu Liangyu was struck by an immense hunger, as if she hadn’t eaten in a very, very long time.

There was still some light outside. After a moment’s hesitation, Chu Liangyu decided to find something to eat first.

She knew it was dangerous, but if she didn’t eat soon, she wouldn’t be able to go on.

Chu Liangyu’s gaze swept over her surroundings inch by inch, not missing a single detail.

Finally, a bush laden with red fruit came into view.

It was Red Heart Fruit. Edible.

Chu Liangyu quickly picked some and put them in her mouth. A refreshing, sweet flavor spread across her tongue, and the burning sensation in her stomach subsided slightly.

But these wouldn’t restore much of her stamina. She still needed to hunt some prey to sate her hunger.

At night, wild beasts were especially active.

It was a good time for hunting, but also extremely dangerous, which was why Beastmen generally hunted during the day.

You rarely saw anyone like her, hunting at this hour.

Crouched in the bushes, Chu Liangyu’s legs had gone numb.

As hoped, the prey she was waiting for appeared not far away.

Chu Liangyu habitually tightened her grip on her bronze short knife and silently approached the elk.
