Done Breeding: Now I Rule the Beastworld

"That was fast?"

In the time it took to drink a cup of tea, Jinling walked in from outside, a wide smile on his face.

Jinling waved his hand dismissively, his tone light. "What’s so hard about that?"

"He just accepted it like that?"

Jinling chuckled, sat down to the side, and poured himself a cup of tea. Only after feeling its warmth spread through him did he say, "I couldn’t care less if he accepts it or not. I just shoved the person in his room and left."

Hu Qiumu fell silent for a moment. ’Alright, then. That’s his style, alright.’

"Now that that’s settled, we should get going."

"Right."

Without further delay, the two of them hurried out of the tribe.

----

Needless to say, the tribe erupted into a flurry of activity after they left. But things on Chu Liangyu’s end were the complete opposite—a picture of serene tranquility.

"Don’t you get bored, sitting at that desk all day?"

Chu Liangyu had already finished several sets of her Taiyin Fist. When she turned her head, she saw that Jiang Li’s posture hadn’t changed at all since she started.

Moreover, in all this time, she had never once seen Jiang Li leave this room. He was the very picture of a shut-in.

The unhurried sound of a page turning stopped. He looked up from his book at Chu Liangyu. "I’m used to it."

"What, do you want to go out?"

He set down his book and let out a soft chuckle, seeming to see right through her.

Chu Liangyu’s eyes lit up. "I can?"

"Of course not." Jiang Li found her crestfallen expression quite amusing, which put him in the mood for a chat. "If you’re bored, I can have the two little ones come keep you company. It’s been a while since they’ve seen their Beast Mother."

Chu Liangyu raised an eyebrow but didn’t refuse. "Alright. Call them over."

’I thought Jiang Li had hidden the cubs somewhere secret, but it turns out they’re right here in the Black Market.’

Jiang Li stood up and walked toward a wall that looked perfectly ordinary.

A surge of energy flowed from his palm. The wall rippled, and in that instant, Chu Liangyu heard the sound of children playing and laughing from within.

Through the gap he revealed, Chu Liangyu could see a scene of springtime warmth and blooming flowers.

’Jiang Li had actually expended energy to create a special space just for the cubs to live and play in.’

Chu Liangyu fell into thought. ’This guy seems to be pretty good to the cubs.’

’My plan to take the cubs back to the tribe is probably doomed to fail.’

"You haven’t seen your Beast Mother in a long time. Come out and say hello."

The two cubs, one female and one male, were what humans would call a perfect pair—a son and a daughter.

It was worth noting that both little ones had already grown wings.

The female cub’s wings were black, just like Chu Liangyu’s. She also bore a strong resemblance to her mother.

"Their wings... they’ve grown in early?"

With Ye Han’s case as a precedent, it was no wonder her tone was so tense.

Jiang Li knew what she was thinking. His expression softened unconsciously, and he moved a little closer to her.

His voice, clear and tinged with gentleness, flowed out slowly. "Don’t worry. I just fed them some Desperate Fruits. Once their strength increased, the Beastification occurred naturally."

"It’s just like when you ate half of Ye Han’s heart. Your energy reached its peak, so..."

Without any warning, Jiang Li pulled Chu Liangyu into his arms. "Besides, they’re our children. I couldn’t possibly harm them—I want to be close to them more than anything."

The sudden embrace made her freeze, her body stiffening instinctively.

Perhaps because they were so close, her nose caught a faint, pleasant scent of ink, distant and lingering.

Somehow, her tense body slowly began to relax.

"The cubs are still watching. Are you sure you want to keep holding me like this?" Chu Liangyu’s tone was teasing as her gaze swept over the little ones, who had covered their eyes.

Jiang Li’s breath hitched for a moment. After a pause, he released Chu Liangyu.

"What names did you give them?"

"The female cub is named Chu Yue, and the male cub is Chu Li."

Chu Liangyu was taken aback. "You had them take my surname? Why?"

"You’re the one who gave birth to them. You did most of the work, so what’s wrong with them taking your name?"

Jiang Li said this casually, and it was clear he genuinely believed it.

The expression on Chu Liangyu’s face suddenly grew complicated. He could say that, but this guy still wouldn’t let her take the cubs away.

Chu Liangyu really didn’t find something as trivial as whose surname they took to be particularly moving.

’It’s not as good as...’ A thought occurred to Chu Liangyu, and the corners of her mouth lifted into a smile. "Well, since you say I did most of the work, why not let me take them back to the tribe?"

As expected, Jiang Li refused.

"You have so many cubs in your tribe. If they go there, you won’t have any time to look after them."

He paused, then added as an explanation, "With me, at least they can feel a father’s love."

Chu Liangyu’s face darkened. She snorted and said no more.

’But he had a point. For instance, the three cubs that Ye Han had thrown her way were all being looked after by Xiong Jiaojiao.’

’Forget it. I won’t try to take them anymore. I’ll just be a benevolent mother for a change.’

"Don’t be sad, Beast Mother. If you miss us, you can have Beast Father bring us to see you."

Although Chu Li had already undergone his transformation, he still looked like an eight or nine-year-old boy, and his voice was still innocent and childish.

Chu Yue was a few years older than him, already a beautiful young maiden. The black wings behind her added a unique touch to her appearance.

She had a somewhat cold personality and seemed much more mature than any of the other cubs Chu Liangyu had met so far.

Seeing Chu Liangyu look over, she seemed slightly flustered but quickly schooled her features into a neutral expression and called out, "Beast Mother."

Chu Liangyu was truly not very good at interacting with her own cubs. Feeling a bit awkward, she cleared her throat. "Mm, your Beast Father has raised you very well."

The two cubs didn’t know what to say either and just echoed her sentiment. "Yes, Beast Father is very good to us."

This made Chu Liangyu feel even more awkward, and her face began to burn.

After a moment’s thought, she decided to give them some gifts. "Is there anything you two would like?"

The two of them exchanged a glance, both feeling that their Beast Mother’s train of thought was a bit erratic.

Jiang Li’s care for them was meticulous; if you asked them what they wanted, there really wasn’t anything.

But seeing Chu Liangyu’s expectant expression, they lowered their heads and thought about it.

Chu Yue spoke first. "I want a high-quality sword."

’That shouldn’t be too difficult.’ Chu Liangyu just hadn’t expected the little one to be such a martial enthusiast.

"No problem. Chu Li, what do you want?"

"I..." Chu Li was truly stumped. Besides wanting to stick close to his sister, he didn’t seem to have any other wishes.

He scratched his head and answered honestly, "I just want to be with my sister every day. I don’t really want anything else."

Just as he finished speaking, Chu Li’s eyes lit up.

It was the first time Chu Liangyu had seen someone’s eyes shine so brightly you could compare them to lightbulbs; they almost blinded her.

"Wait, Beast Mother! I want something that can let me know where my sister is at all times." He gestured excitedly, then added, "Of course, my sister should also be able to know where I am."
