Done Breeding: Now I Rule the Beastworld

Suddenly, Chu Liangyu seemed to understand how Yin Muli must have felt back then.

With a cough, Chu Liangyu silently turned her head away, refusing to look at him.

"She’s missing. Shouldn’t we go look for her?"

"What are we here for? To protect our Female Master! If she’s gone, she’s gone."

"Xiong Xianhui is right. Let’s find our Female Master first."

Wen Yan frowned, not quite agreeing. "She seems to have a good relationship with our Female Master. It won’t be good if our Female Master finds out we didn’t even try to look for her."

"If you want to play the hero, then you go."

Xiong Xianhui rolled his eyes and grabbed Hu Qiumu, about to leave.

"Female Master!"

"Female Master!"

When they turned around, they were pleasantly surprised to find Chu Liangyu already standing before them.

"Beast Father!" Hu Qiuliang was just as excited as they were, and he threw himself at Hu Qiumu.

Hu Qiumu froze for a moment before he noticed the little cub. He asked in confusion, "Why are you here?"

Hu Qiuliang’s movements stiffened. ’What does Beast Father mean? Don’t tell me...’

"Beast Mother and I were captured together. Didn’t you know, Beast Father?"

Hu Qiumu’s brow furrowed slightly as he looked toward Feng Qiwu.

Feng Qiwu coughed and offered an insincere apology, "I forgot to mention it. My bad."

"I heard you all saying someone was missing. Was it Xiong Jiaojiao?" After a pause, realizing they might not know Xiong Jiaojiao’s name, Chu Liangyu added, "The female who has been by my side recently."

"Yes. It’s not that we weren’t going to look for her, it’s just that you, Female Master..."

Chu Liangyu didn’t wait for Xiong Xianhui to finish his explanation, cutting him off directly. "Where did she disappear?"

Xiong Xianhui was at a loss for words and didn’t know how to answer for a long moment. It was Wen Yan who picked up, saying, "I remember. She went into that alley."

It was the same one Chu Liangyu had been to before. Inevitably, an ominous premonition bloomed in her heart.

’That Witch Doctor is gone. Either they weren’t released, or they went somewhere else.’

With strength in numbers, Chu Liangyu wasn’t afraid of being tricked again. She went straight to a stall owner to inquire, "Have you seen a female pass by here? She has dimples when she smiles."

"She was also carrying a small cloth pouch."

The small pouch was something Chu Liangyu used to carry her things, but she later found it troublesome and gave it to Xiong Jiaojiao.

Now, it had become an excellent, distinguishing feature to help find her.

"Haven’t seen her."

The stall owner glanced at her, shook his head, and then quickly lowered his gaze.

From his reaction, he must have known about Chu Liangyu’s formidable reputation.

Now, seeing her surrounded by so many Beast Husbands, he couldn’t help but feel a little intimidated.

She asked several beastmen in a row, but they either had shifty eyes or wore blank expressions.

In short, not a single one of them dared to speak up.

Hu Qiumu took this all in, not understanding why Chu Liangyu was so concerned about that female.

"Female Master, is there something special about her?"

Chu Liangyu froze for a second but didn’t turn around. She just said, "She is very useful to me. We have an agreement, and protecting her is one of its terms."

’She’s from the Wood Spirit Clan, one of the people who can nurture Desperate Fruit. If she’s lost, there won’t be another.’

Hu Qiumu didn’t probe any further. After a moment of contemplation, he spoke up. "I can see they’re too scared to talk, but I have a way to make them."

"Let’s hear it."

"You’re not planning on using your Charm Technique, are you?"

Hu Qiumu wanted to build up the suspense, but Feng Qiwu wasn’t having it and immediately blurted it out for him.

The Fox Clan’s Charm Technique was different from a Mermaid’s song. The former was more like creating an illusion, stimulating a beastman’s subconscious to achieve the desired effect.

The latter, on the other hand, completely suppressed a beastman’s thoughts, turning them into a puppet.

It was a good idea. Chu Liangyu had actually forgotten about it.

Putting the thought into action, they found the first stall owner they had questioned.

The group exchanged a glance, and then all eyes fell on Hu Qiumu.

Hu Qiumu nodded, walked to the front of the stall, and crouched down.

He fiddled with the items on the stall with one hand, pretending to be interested in a trade.

"How do we trade for this?"

Hearing the question, the stall owner subconsciously looked up.

As expected, his eyes met Hu Qiumu’s.

A purple light flashed in Hu Qiumu’s eyes. It was so fast that if Chu Liangyu hadn’t been paying close attention, she would have missed it completely.

The stall owner seemed to fall into a trance, staring blankly at Hu Qiumu, unmoving for a long moment.

Hu Qiumu wasted no time and got straight to the point. "Where did the female we asked about earlier go?"

"She was taken to the East Sea by a group of beastmen."

Upon hearing this, Hu Qiumu pressed on, "Who were they? Why take her to the East Sea?"

"They... they seemed to be a group of beastmen from the Mouse Clan. As for why they’re going to the East Sea, I have no idea."

At this point, Chu Liangyu had learned what she needed to know, so there was no need to ask any more questions.

The journey to the East Sea was a long one; Chu Liangyu couldn’t possibly take the entire group with her.

Besides, it would be too much trouble.

"You’ve all seen me now. I’m fine."

"I’m going to find Xiong Jiaojiao now, so I can’t take you all with me. Feng Qiwu and I will be enough. The rest of you should head back."

Chu Liangyu’s arrangement was so sudden that the others were silent for a long moment.

When they finally processed it, they were all crestfallen—except for Feng Qiwu, of course.

For the first time, he realized his wings were useful for something other than just flying!

"The Female Master has spoken. Why are you all still standing around?"

They had gone through so much trouble to find her, only to be sent back after exchanging just a few words. None of them felt good about it.

Chu Liangyu hadn’t forgotten her original intention of winning their loyalty. That hadn’t changed; she just had a better idea now.

But for now, Chu Liangyu had to soothe their feelings. "I know it wasn’t easy for you all to come all this way to rescue me."

"I’m very moved. But I still have things I must do. I promise, I’ll be back very soon."

With just a few words from Chu Liangyu, their expressions instantly brightened, and the atmosphere was no longer as heavy as before.

"Alright, we understand. You have to take care of yourself on the road."

Hu Qiumu said, staring at her face for a long moment.

The others all nodded in agreement. In the end, the group parted ways at the city gate.

On the Phoenix’s back, Chu Liangyu gazed at the scenery before her, a thousand thoughts running through her mind.

Ever since she had been trapped in the tribe to give birth, she’d never had the chance to come out and see the landscapes of the Beast World.

This was the first time in so long, yet she never expected it to be under such troubling circumstances.

’The view is still the view, no matter what. The only difference is your state of mind.’

With that thought, Chu Liangyu felt a sense of relief.

’I wonder how Xiong Jiaojiao is doing. I hope nothing has happened to her.’

Especially after hearing about the Mouse Clan beastmen, a faint suspicion formed in Chu Liangyu’s mind.

’Perhaps it’s the group that was with Yin Muli before—the one who called himself their leader.’

’He’s still alive, so maybe they ran into Xiong Jiaojiao in Ten Thousand Beasts City.’

’It’s not out of the question that they kidnapped Xiong Jiaojiao with five Mouse Clan beastmen. But I just can’t figure out why they would take her to the East Sea.’

’Is there something there that would make them willing to travel thousands of miles?’

Chu Liangyu’s temples throbbed faintly. She sighed. It seemed she was overthinking things, tiring her mind out.

’No matter what, I have to find her first. Once I do, the truth won’t be far behind.’

"Feng Qiwu, fly faster."

"Got it."
