Done Breeding: Now I Rule the Beastworld

Chapter 39 - 38: Lost at Sunset, Gained at Sunrise

"You... how is this possible!"

Father Hu’s eyes widened. The person across from him remained completely unchanged.

He had never encountered a situation like this before. At most, his control over some people would only last for a short time.

But he’d never met anyone like her, someone completely unaffected.

Chu Liangyu smiled, her expression profound and unreadable. "Well? Do you concede?"

After a moment of silence, Father Hu finally nodded.

The blade at his neck was withdrawn. Chu Liangyu took a step back, allowing others to help him up.

"Let’s go. I’ll take you to see the cubs," Father Hu said, his face expressionless as he glanced at Chu Liangyu.

"No need to trouble yourself. We’ve already brought the cubs out."

"What!"

Just as the words were spoken, Yu He appeared in the distance with ten cubs—not one more, not one less.

Surprisingly, there was another person with Yu He.

It was Mother Hu. Her eyes were vacant, tinged with a red glow. She must have been under Yu He’s control.

"Let her go!" Father Hu suddenly became agitated, shouting at Yu He.

Yu He didn’t even look at Father Hu. Instead, he shifted his gaze to Chu Liangyu. Seeing her nod, Yu He’s lips moved, and the woman returned to normal.

"Your tail..."

The moment Mother Hu regained her senses, she immediately noticed Father Hu’s wound, her face filled with visible worry.

"I’m fine."

Father Hu’s brows furrowed, his expression turning wary. "What exactly do you want?"

’I haven’t even said anything, and he’s already seen through me?’ Chu Liangyu was taken aback for a second.

"Have you considered joining my Bianye Tribe?"

Since it had come to this, Chu Liangyu decided not to beat around the bush and laid her cards on the table.

Her words were like poking a hornet’s nest. The crowd instantly erupted.

They pointed their fingers at Chu Liangyu, accusing her of overestimating her own abilities.

Although Father Hu had been defeated, it didn’t mean he acknowledged Chu Liangyu.

Let alone joining her. With a cold expression, he replied, "What do you have to offer that would make us join you?"

"Or are you banking on these cubs with their immeasurable potential?"

Chu Liangyu’s expression was calm. "Indeed, I have nothing else to entice you with. It all depends on whether you’re willing to take a gamble."

"If they achieve great things in the future, you will undoubtedly be under their protection, at any cost."

This was undoubtedly a promise, and one of uncertain value.

Until they saw any returns, they would essentially be free labor.

However, they had heard rumors of cubs with extraordinary innate talents, like the Phoenix and the Azure Dragon.

If they waited for those cubs to grow up, the Bianye Tribe would become the number one tribe in the Beast World, and the benefits would be immense.

Father Hu agonized over the decision for a long time. But when he recalled Chu Liangyu’s calm and composed demeanor during their fight, his resolve wavered.

"Fine. We’ll join."

Chu Liangyu broke into a smile. "A pleasure doing business with you!"

Glancing at the badly injured members of the Fox Clan, Chu Liangyu pulled out a beast-skin-wrapped package from her sleeve.

She handed it to Father Hu. "I was a bit heavy-handed earlier. These are Mermaid Tears. They can heal injuries. Consider it compensation."

Mermaid Tears! And such a large pouch! It was enough to last them for two months.

After calming himself slightly, Father Hu said, "It’s nothing. To the victor go the spoils. You don’t need to blame yourself."

"As for the subsequent arrangements, just send someone to inform us once you’ve made your decision."

Although Father Hu had his flaws, his desire to lead his clan to greatness was correct, and his boldness earned Chu Liangyu’s admiration.

Who else would dare to do what he did? Setting aside the opinions of his clansmen, if the gamble was wrong, all the Fox Clan’s efforts would be for naught.

Chu Liangyu hadn’t expected this matter to be resolved so quickly. It was much easier than she had imagined.

This smoothness made her feel a little uneasy.

"Then we’ll head back first."

"Alright."

After leaving Qingqiu, the group quickened their pace back toward the tribe.

Seeing her expression, Yu He couldn’t help but snort. "You were so generous just now. What, you give the stuff away and now you regret it? Standing there with a long face."

"What’s there to regret? If we want to use some, wouldn’t it be better to get them fresh?"

Yu He’s face instantly darkened. That pouch she had just given away... it had taken him and the little cub a whole night of crying to produce.

It was bad enough that she didn’t cherish it, but she was already thinking about future exploitation.

His face dark, Yu He stopped talking, leaped into the river, and vanished in the blink of an eye.

After a brief glance, Chu Liangyu averted her gaze. "Let’s pick up the pace and get back."

"What’s wrong?"

"You’ll know when we get back."

"Alright."

Traveling with the cubs should have taken more than a day, but they managed to make it back in just half a day.

Chu Liangyu immediately headed for the tribe. The closer she got, the more chaotic the surroundings became.

Not far away, Yu He was pacing around, seemingly searching for something.

Chu Liangyu’s heart skipped a beat. She looked past him toward the tribe.

Earthen mounds, large and small, were scattered everywhere. The bamboo courtyards had been burned to ashes.

The ashes were blown everywhere by the gentle breeze.

But all of that was secondary. The people of the tribe... lying on the ground were the bodies of several cubs, the majority of them rabbits.

’No wonder I’ve been feeling so uneasy. So this is why?’

She just didn’t understand. Who had she provoked to the point that they would attack her tribe?

"Sister Liangyu, hurry and leave! It’s dangerous here!"

From a bush, Xiong Jiaojiao stumbled out and grabbed Chu Liangyu, trying to pull her away.

Chu Liangyu was still assessing the situation. "Who attacked the tribe?" she asked as they moved.

"The person was dressed all in black. I couldn’t see their face."

"And... he’s very strong. All of your Beast Husbands went up against him, but they couldn’t defeat him."

Chu Liangyu found this baffling; she had no memory of such a person.

’Then what was his goal?’

"Did the man say anything? And what about the other cubs?"

"He came looking for you." Swallowing hard, Xiong Jiaojiao continued, "As for the cubs, your Beast Husbands protected them and they escaped."

Chu Liangyu sighed deeply. ’So much for building my own power base. Now my Beast Husbands and the cubs have all scattered to who knows where.’

Led by Xiong Jiaojiao, they wound their way through the area for a while before finally stopping.

At an inconspicuous thicket of bushes, Xiong Jiaojiao reached in and rustled around.

She pulled out a Mermaid and that little rabbit, Wen Yuehong, holding them in her hands. From her feet, Hu Qiuliang leaped out.

Seeing Chu Liangyu and Hu Qiumu, his eyes instantly turned red, filled with a mixture of grievance and terror.

He threw himself into Hu Qiumu’s arms with complete reliance, crying, "Beast Father, you’re finally back..."

Seeing the Mermaid cub reminded Chu Liangyu of Yu He. She only then realized that he hadn’t caught up with them.

"Out of the three Mermaid cubs, is this the only one left?"

"Yes, just this one. The other two were killed by the mysterious person."

Back then, she really couldn’t stand Yu He, and gestating three of his cubs was the absolute limit of what she could endure.

She had even fought with the Childbirth System over the matter.

The memory was therefore quite vivid, which was why she remembered the number of Mermaid cubs.
