Done Breeding: Now I Rule the Beastworld

"He’s a tyrant of the sea. I doubt he needs any help."

Chu Liangyu fanned her nose with her hand and said deliberately, "My, what’s that sour smell?"

There was no such thing as vinegar in the Beast World, but some wild fruits would give off a sour smell when they rotted, which was similar.

"I’m telling the truth. You—you don’t have to be so sarcastic with me."

Yu He just couldn’t stand Chu Liangyu’s double standards. Why did Chi Yizhong get so much preferential treatment?

When it came to him, not only did he have to rush back to the sea on his own, but he also had to return within a time limit just to stay alive.

The more he thought about it, the more agitated he became, and he couldn’t help but lose his temper and speak out.

"It’s about reciprocity. If you cared more about me, I naturally wouldn’t favor one over the other."

Yu He felt a lump form in his throat, making it hard to breathe and extremely uncomfortable.

It was his own bad luck, really. If he hadn’t tried to kill her back then, none of this would have happened.

At the time, he had been captured to be sold, and she had refused to save him. Without thinking too much, he had just flared up in anger and lost control...

But thinking about it carefully now, it seemed Chu Liangyu hadn’t been in control of her own situation back then either. He had just ignored that fact and vented all his frustrations on her.

That... was indeed his fault.

"I understand. I apologize for what happened. It won’t happen again."

It was rare to hear him speak so seriously, and Chu Liangyu couldn’t help but be a little surprised. She believed most of his promise.

’Still, I can’t give him the Life Phosphorus just yet.’

’I hope he can really be as honest as he says and not get any funny ideas.’

’If he does... I will kill him without a moment’s hesitation.’

"Hmph. I’ll begrudgingly accept your apology."

Yu He opened his mouth, but then closed it, stopping himself from saying more.

After a long moment, he suddenly realized he didn’t know what to say, so he simply shut his mouth and remained silent.

"If it’s possible, I’d like you to come back to the sea with me."

Chi Yizhong spoke up at the right moment. Chu Liangyu’s reflection was mirrored in his eyes as he spoke each word with exceptional earnestness.

A ripple inevitably spread through Chu Liangyu’s heart. She looked back at him and replied, "Alright, I’ll go back with you."

In Chi Yizhong, Chu Liangyu sensed a sincerity rarely found in the Beast World. This made her feel very comfortable, and being with him was naturally much more relaxed.

This was one of the reasons why she treated Chi Yizhong differently from the others.

"It’s dawn."

Xiang Qiancheng’s emotionless words interrupted the two, who had been about to say more.

Chu Liangyu glanced at him, then at the still-gray, dusky sky.

’There’s still some time before dawn, isn’t there?’

"Didn’t the Female Master want to build the tribe as soon as possible? Since none of us can sleep, let’s go now."

Chu Liangyu opened her mouth and let out a small "Ah," then stood up. "Alright then, let’s head out now."

Xiong Jiaojiao watched silently. She knew this was just the males being jealous and vying for attention, and she felt a bit tired on Chu Liangyu’s behalf.

But she only thought this to herself; she wouldn’t dare say it out loud for anything.

The few of them—the old, weak, and injured—desperately needed rest. This sudden disruption nearly did them in.

But fortunately, with the Guardian Spirit’s help, their path was clear and unobstructed. It even thoughtfully laid down a thick carpet of weeds underfoot so they wouldn’t have to step in the mud.

Just as the sky began to turn fish-belly white, they emerged from the overgrown woods.

The Guardian Spirit couldn’t leave the area, so Chu Liangyu put it down and let it go back.

But the little guy was very reluctant to leave her, clinging and dawdling for a long time before letting go.

"Alright now. If all goes well, we’ll be seeing each other often. I’ll need your help again then."

Comforted by her words, the little guy’s gloominess instantly vanished. It briskly burrowed into the soil and disappeared.

Beyond the overgrown woods was a slow-flowing river, and in the distance lay a range of rolling mountains.

"We’ll be there once we cross that mountain."

The Elder stroked his beard and gazed into the distance as he spoke.

As the saying goes, mountains look closer than they are.

That was no lie at all. The rolling mountains seemed close, but by the time they actually reached them, it was already nearly afternoon.

The sun overhead had just passed its most scorching peak. They mustered all their strength and finally crossed the rolling mountain range before nightfall.

The rolling mountains formed a circle, and the terrain here was, fittingly, a basin.

At the center of the basin was a Dead Water Lake. Its clear water reflected the azure, cloudless sky, and it glittered with specks of gold under the setting sun.

Surrounding the lake was a large expanse of flat land where wildflowers and weeds grew profusely, a sign of its fertile soil.

Half the basin was bathed in the sunset, giving Chu Liangyu the impression of a golden mountain peak illuminated by the sun.

"Is this where the Beast God Temple is?"

Chu Liangyu suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu. She... she felt like she had been here before and should be very familiar with this place.

"This is it. The Beast God Temple should be somewhere nearby."

"Mm, we’ll rest at the Beast God Temple tonight."

"Cang Yu, Feng Qiwu, you two are in charge of hunting. Come find us and regroup in a bit."

Feng Qiwu had been flying the whole way, so he was the most rested and naturally had no objections.

"Alright, you guys go on ahead and wait."

Cang Yu glanced reluctantly at the little cub on Chu Liangyu’s shoulder, sighed, and followed Feng Qiwu.

He didn’t know where things had gone wrong. Cang Yu had tried everything, but the little cub’s attitude toward him hadn’t changed one bit.

Its indifferent demeanor left him feeling utterly helpless.

For now, he could only take it one step at a time, hoping that spending more time together would gradually improve their relationship.

Chu Liangyu took all of this in. Combining it with the emotions the little cub occasionally showed her, she had a theory.

The little cub’s dislike for his Beast Father began when he was still in Chu Liangyu’s belly.

It was probably because Chu Liangyu had been desperate to get rid of the Childbirth System and was in a bad mood during that time.

And it just so happened that he could already sense Chu Liangyu’s feelings back then. Influenced by her, the little cub had come to resent Cang Yu.

In his mind, Chu Liangyu was in a bad mood because she disliked Cang Yu.

The bond between mother and child was real. He had truly felt his Beast Mother’s emotions, and he could still remember that painful feeling even now.

Therefore, it was impossible for him to be pleasant to Cang Yu.

"Our Cang Qiong is the best boy. How about a smile for your Beast Mother?"

Chu Liangyu was touched, but at the same time, her heart ached a little for the cub.

If he hadn’t been affected by her, the little cub wouldn’t have hidden in his eggshell for so long, refusing to come out.

It was a good thing he met her when he did. It wasn’t too late for anything.

Chu Liangyu placed him in her hand and teased him, "Be a good boy. Give your Beast Mother a smile."

The Little Green Dragon stared at her with his round eyes, as if in disbelief.

’I’m still just a little green dragon, how am I supposed to make a smiling expression?’

But he didn’t want to make his Beast Mother sad. He tilted his head in thought, then tentatively tried to stretch the corners of his mouth.

Little Cang Qiong didn’t know if he had actually managed a smile, but seeing how happy she looked...

...Little Cang Qiong figured he must have done it right.
