Done Breeding: Now I Rule the Beastworld

"Not bad."

Chu Liangyu raised her eyebrows, a little surprised.

She hadn’t expected Xiong Jiaojiao to guess its origin from just a few words.

Xiong Jiaojiao clasped her hands together in sincere repentance. ’A sin, a sin,’ she thought. She had actually just been thinking about eating Sister Liangyu’s cub.

"I’m sorry, Sister Liangyu. I didn’t realize where this little guy came from back then."

Chu Liangyu waved her hand dismissively. "It’s not like you can’t eat it."

Xiong Jiaojiao: !!!

What?

Xiong Jiaojiao dug a finger in her ear, wondering if she had misheard.

But seeing Chu Liangyu’s serious expression, it seemed she really meant it.

"Think twice, Sister Liangyu! When this little guy grows up, he’ll definitely be powerful. What a waste it would be to eat him!"

"Who knows? Look, it still hasn’t hatched. Maybe it’s just a dud."

Chu Liangyu picked up the Green Dragon Egg from beside her feet with both hands and held it up to the sun. She could see the tiny Azure Dragon cub inside swimming around anxiously.

It looked like it had taken her words seriously.

Inspiration struck, and Chu Liangyu thought of a way to make it break out of its shell on its own.

"Jiaojiao, go get some firewood. I’m feeling a little hungry."

"This can’t be my cub. My cub wouldn’t be so useless that it can’t even break its own shell. Something like this would be of more value if we just ate it."

As soon as she finished speaking, the little cub inside grew even more agitated and began to ram against the eggshell with all its might.

At first, no one understood what Chu Liangyu was doing. They just thought she was being a little cold-hearted.

It wasn’t until they saw the dragon egg start to change that they understood her intention.

"Oh, oh! Since Sister Liangyu said so, I’ll go get the firewood now."

After Xiong Jiaojiao pretended to leave, the cub inside tried even harder to break the shell.

But it still wasn’t strong enough.

’Looks like we need to add more fuel to the fire,’ Chu Liangyu thought, giving Xiong Jiaojiao, who was hiding nearby, a look.

Xiong Jiaojiao understood in a second. She really did gather some firewood and come back, then casually lit a fire.

Chu Liangyu placed the egg on the fire with a blank expression. As time passed and the temperature rose, the pearly white egg began to glow red-hot.

Xiong Jiaojiao glanced at Chu Liangyu, wanting to say something but holding back.

Chu Liangyu knew what she was thinking and gave her a look that said, ’Be patient.’

A moment later, the crisp sound of a cracking shell rang out. A thumb-sized Azure Dragon poked its head out of the eggshell.

Chu Liangyu held her hand out to him. "Come here. Any longer and you’ll really be cooked."

His bright black eyes stared at Chu Liangyu for a moment before he obediently crawled into her palm.

He had small, barely noticeable horns on his little head, and his whole body was covered in fine, soft, glossy scales.

Chu Liangyu stroked him and found the texture quite pleasant. It was even a little addictive.

"Phew... That scared me to death. I thought he was going to be burned alive."

"As expected of Sister Liangyu’s cub, so amazing!" Xiong Jiaojiao patted the little cub, offering a sincere compliment.

"Cang Yu probably spoiled him too much, which is why he didn’t want to hatch."

Chu Liangyu scratched his chin and asked, "Isn’t that right?"

The little cub was clearly a bit embarrassed. He lowered his head, not daring to look at Chu Liangyu.

"I have important things to do right now, so I don’t have time to help you find your Beast Father. You’ll stay by my side for the next few days, understand?"

His little head bobbed in a nod. It seemed he understood Chu Liangyu’s words.

"Sister Liangyu, why don’t you give him a name?"

Chu Liangyu had had so many cubs, but she had never actually named one.

Being asked to name one so suddenly, she really couldn’t think of anything.

"Cang Qiong?"

The moment the name left her lips, though she was still a bit hesitant, the little guy suddenly sat bolt upright.

He stared intently at Chu Liangyu, seemingly very satisfied with the name.

"Looks like you like it. Alright, you’ll be Cang Qiong from now on."

After that little interlude, they continued on their journey.

Not far away, a few sneaky figures lurked.

They were muttering something, their gazes fixed on the Azure Dragon cub on Chu Liangyu’s wrist.

There were many people in their group, so Chu Liangyu wasn’t worried about what those figures might do. She just ignored them for the whole journey.

----

Inside Ten Thousand Beasts City, all was chaos.

"Help! Someone is killing innocent people!"

"Screw you! Stop playing pitiful and hand over my cub!" Cang Yu slapped the man across the face and threatened.

The man’s eyes darted around as he tried to escape again.

Seeing his intention, Cang Yu kicked him to the ground, stomped on his head, and bared his teeth. "Are you going to talk or not?"

The killing intent in Cang Yu’s eyes was completely unconcealed. The man shuddered in fear and finally gave in, admitting defeat. "I... We were just responsible for handing the cub over. As for where it went, I don’t know."

"It’s true! I’m not lying to you."

With his hands raised above his head, he looked at Cang Yu with pleading eyes, hoping he would be let go.

Hearing this, Cang Yu’s expression grew even uglier, and he pressed down harder on the man’s head.

’If he can’t provide any useful information, then there’s no reason to keep him alive.’

The man under his foot stared with wide, terrified eyes, his mind racing to find some more useful information.

"Wait, wait! I remember something."

"They usually go to the forest not far from Ten Thousand Beasts City to inspect the ’goods’ before leaving."

"If you go now, you might..."

Before he could finish his sentence, he stopped breathing, his head crushed by a single stomp.

Disgusting, bloody, and cruel.

This act drew gasps of horror from the surrounding Beastmen, but Cang Yu paid them no mind and rushed straight out of Ten Thousand Beasts City.

"Sister Liangyu, this Ten Thousand Beasts City is huge!" After exclaiming in awe, Xiong Jiaojiao looked at Chu Liangyu with expectant eyes and asked, "Should we go take a look inside?"

"Let’s go have a look."

They were already in the central region of the Beast World anyway, so losing a little time wouldn’t hurt.

Just as they stepped through the city gates, a black shadow rushed past them, heading out.

It moved so fast that an unprepared Chu Liangyu was startled.

But since she wasn’t hit, Chu Liangyu just glanced at the person’s retreating back and continued into the city.

Xiang Qiancheng, however, remained in place, staring after the black-clad figure for a good while.

[Ding—Tradable item detected!

Item: Water-Repelling Pearl

Value: Mid Tier Storage Bracelet

Trading Plane: Cultivation World]

Chu Liangyu looked at the pearl in her hand with some surprise. This wasn’t an ordinary clam pearl!

Out of so many pearls, she had happened to pick this one. Her luck was really something else.

A flash of joy crossed Chu Liangyu’s eyes. She asked the stall owner, "What do you want to trade for this?"

"That one? It’s not worth much. Just give me whatever you think is fair," the stall owner said casually, giving it only a brief glance.

Chu Liangyu handed him a small bag of Mermaid Tears. "There isn’t much here, but it’s more than enough to trade for this."

The stall owner opened it, sniffed it, then dabbed a little on his tongue to taste. His eyes instantly lit up. "It’s enough, it’s enough! It’s more than enough, in fact."

"Here, I don’t want to take advantage of you. Take these seasonings as a free gift."

Although the items weren’t expensive, they were troublesome to make. They enhanced the flavor of food, and there were plenty of people who wanted to buy them.

It was just as he said; he really wasn’t taking advantage of Chu Liangyu.

Both parties were very satisfied with the trade, each even feeling like they had gotten the better end of the deal.

[Confirm trade?]

"Yes."
