Done Breeding: Now I Rule the Beastworld

"What’s wrong? Why do you all look so listless?"

The bear cubs weren’t as lively as usual, and he couldn’t help but find it strange.

Putting down his prey, he decided he had to see what was going on.

Everyone was acting so strangely today. First Wen Yan, then Hu Qiumu, and now the cubs.

On the stone bed, Xiong Yi, who had been beaten by Chu Liangyu, lay quietly, surrounded by many young cubs, all of them looking despondent.

Xiong Xianhui’s indifferent expression froze. He had a bad feeling. "Everyone, move aside."

Xiong Yi’s body was stiff and cold, and he wasn’t breathing. It was obvious that he was already dead.

And the cause of death was simply that his injuries were too severe.

’If not for that, how could he have just died like that?’

’The Female Master was so cruel for that good-for-nothing’s sake, she was even willing to kill her own cub.’

’Fine! Just great!’

Furious, Xiong Xianhui slammed a fist onto the stone bed. With a CRACK, the bed fractured.

"The food is over there. Eat it yourselves. Your Beast Father has something to do, I’ll be out for a bit."

"Then... Beast Father, what about Xiong Yi?"

"We’ll deal with it when I get back!"

Meanwhile, Chu Liangyu was shocked by Wen Yan’s wretched state.

Not only were his clothes tattered, but his face was also speckled with bloodstains.

"Did you get attacked by a Wandering Beast?"

"No."

Before he could even put his things down, Wen Yan collapsed, simultaneously reverting to his beast form.

Usually, when a Beastman reacted like this, it meant they were severely injured.

Chu Liangyu didn’t know where he was hurt, so she could only move him inside with the help of the cubs.

The unconscious Wen Yan’s breathing was very faint, and he looked as if he wouldn’t make it.

"Wen Yan, can you hear me?"

Chu Liangyu saw his eyelids twitch, but it seemed he couldn’t open them no matter how hard he tried.

Sighing, Chu Liangyu had no choice but to go out and fetch some water to give him a simple wipe-down. After that, his recovery would be up to him.

There were no wells or anything similar here, so Chu Liangyu had to carry bamboo tubes to a nearby stream to get water.

In the pitch-black night, she looked around and saw she was all alone.

The occasional chirping of insects and birds was enough to make one’s heart shudder.

Chu Liangyu was used to this and walked straight into the dark woods.

But once inside, the light grew even dimmer. Chu Liangyu struggled to see, and inevitably, she tripped.

After stumbling her way to get the water, she stumbled her way back.

But it seemed an unwelcome guest had appeared in front of her door. Lying at his feet were all the rabbit cubs.

Wen Yan had also been dragged out by him, with no regard for the fact that he was unconscious.

He grabbed him by his pelt and shook him back and forth. "Where did she go?"

Wen Yan was shaken awake. He transformed back into his human form, his face as pale as paper and his voice weak. "Who?"

"Chu Liangyu!"

’These Beast Husbands have never called me by my full name,’ Chu Liangyu frowned. ’I wonder what could have happened for them to do so now.’

Perhaps it was the sudden sound of her footsteps, but before she could make a sound, Xiong Xianhui had already spotted her.

"What do you want with me?"

Her answer was Xiong Xianhui’s hand clamping tightly around her neck. The grip was so strong that if he wished, he could snap her neck at any moment.

"Chu Liangyu, I never thought you could be so heartless!"

"He was one of your cubs too, yet you killed my cub for the sake of this good-for-nothing! What were you thinking?!"

The feeling of suffocation made Chu Liangyu’s mind go blank. She had no idea why he was saying this.

’That bear cub only had minor injuries. He would have been fine after a few days of rest. How could he have died?’

’I’ve finally gotten the chance to start a new kind of life. I want to live. I don’t want to die just like this.’

A fierce glint flashed in Chu Liangyu’s eyes. ’To deal with Xiong Xianhui, eighty percent of my power won’t be enough.’

Without further hesitation, she gathered all the power she had absorbed from the Crystal Core and focused it into her legs.

Noticing the wound on his chest, Chu Liangyu kicked it without mercy.

"I didn’t believe it at first, but you were even able to send me flying with a kick. It’s impossible not to believe it now. What else do you have to say for yourself!"

His wound tore open again, but Xiong Xianhui couldn’t care less. His eyes were fixed on Chu Liangyu, waiting for her answer.

"No wonder you’re acting crazy. I can only say this: I didn’t use lethal force on that child."

Chu Liangyu’s throat was in agony; every word she spoke felt like swallowing a needle.

Her voice was no longer the same, having become unusually hoarse and unpleasant.

"I’ve long seen that you are both passionate and heartless, but I never thought you could be so infatuated. To care so much for that good-for-nothing Wen Yan!"

Chu Liangyu...

’What on earth is Xiong Xianhui talking about? Did he even hear what I just said?!’

"I’ll say it again: I did not kill that child. And the reason I stepped in had nothing to do with Wen Yan."

"Heh..."

Xiong Xianhui’s laugh was sarcastic, with a hint of bitterness.

’Bitterness?’

’I must have been seeing things. What worries could this simpleton possibly have?’

’But Xiong Xianhui has always been stubborn. Once he’s decided on something, no one can change his mind.’

So whatever Chu Liangyu said next would be useless.

"So what do you want? To kill me?"

’If Xiong Xianhui had wanted to kill me, I would have been dead the moment he grabbed my neck.’

"I’m going to make you pay for what you’ve done!"

Xiong Xianhui clutched his wound and slowly stood up. "Don’t be impatient. You’ll find out tomorrow."

Only after his figure disappeared from sight did Chu Liangyu finally let down her guard.

What followed was a feeling of weakness, as if all the strength had been drained from her body.

She collapsed uncontrollably to the ground, her arms hanging limply at her sides.

But her expression grew solemn, and she stared for a long time in the direction he had left.

’Xiong Xianhui only believes his own suspicions. In that case, there’s no need for me to prove my innocence.’

"Are you all right?"

Chu Liangyu’s thoughts were interrupted by a gentle voice. It was Wen Yan.

His face was still just as pale, and he looked at Chu Liangyu with concern.

Chu Liangyu, however, studied his expression for a long moment before seeming to casually avert her gaze and shake her head. "I’m fine. How are the rabbit cubs?"

"I checked on them. They’re fine, they’re all alive."

"That’s good. I’m glad they weren’t dragged into this because of me. Otherwise, my conscience wouldn’t be clear."

Wen Yan lowered his gaze and said nothing.

After pulling Chu Liangyu to her feet, he dragged the rabbit cubs back into the house one by one.

"I see you’re badly injured. What exactly happened?"

"I got into a fight with Xiong Xianhui."

"Why?"

Wen Yan’s expression turned ugly for a moment. He fell silent, not answering her question.

’He couldn’t very well say that Xiong Xianhui’s words were too harsh, that he felt humiliated and couldn’t stop himself from lashing out.’

’Especially since it was a pyrrhic battle; he’d hurt his enemy, but ended up worse off himself.’

’Chu Liangyu’s question was somewhat inappropriate and damaging to his pride.’

Connecting this to Xiong Xianhui’s reaction, Chu Liangyu had a rough idea of what happened.

’One, Xiong Xianhui was lashing out for his cub. Two, he was angry that I favored Wen Yan.’

’Given that, Xiong Xianhui must have used their hunting time to pick a fight.’

’He probably said some nasty things, too, enough to make this cautious rabbit get himself injured.’
