「Returning to the room at the tavern.」
Si Yan’s face flushed and her heart raced, her cheeks burning hot.
For the first ti, she realized what truly being in love felt like.
Sweet, as though I’m subrged in a jar of honey, my heart pounding. I want to look at him, yet I don’t dare to.
She longed to be close to him.
Not for power, but a genuine desire to be near him. To touch his abs, to feel his heartbeat in sync with mine, to feel all his attention focused on . So, this is what liking soone ans.
He looked down slightly and saw her defiantly blushing, occasionally glancing up at him before quickly lowering her gaze and looking away.
She Wang felt emotions he hadn’t experienced before. A male beast holding his female... emotions of luck and satisfaction colliding and fusing. I want to hold her like this forever, never letting go.
He carried her to the room. Just as they entered, the four cubs burst in, shattering the atmosphere filled with pink bubbles.
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Mom!"
"Mom!!"
Four cute, smiling faces and four tender calls of "Mom" made Si Yan feel like she had encountered a savior.
She Wang furrowed his brow. These four cubs are so ddleso and troubleso.
But Si Yan struggled to get down.
As soon as Si Yan established her footing, the four little cubs ca tumbling over one after another.
Bei Ji excitedly said, "Mom, we went to see your competition today! You were so aweso! So many Beastn were watching you and talking about you. I felt so proud, incredibly proud!"
Si Yan smiled and patted Bei Ji’s head, lifting him into her arms.
When I first ca to this world, out of the four cubs, little Bei Ji was the first to actively accept .
Bei Ji’s cheeks flushed red as he held Si Yan tightly.
I saw Mom and Third Brother getting along well, watched Mom taking care of Eldest Brother, and observed the close relationship between Mom and my other brothers. I felt jealous too. But alongside the jealousy, I also felt happy for everyone. In fact, I try to behave well, hoping Mom’s attention will linger on a little longer. Just like now, being hugged by her... I feel so blessed.
Si Yan sat on the bed with Bei Ji in her arms. She Wang looked over. Bei Ji’s features indeed resemble Si Yan’s. They both have that gentle appearance.
He developed a fondness for Bei Ji, an affection that extended from his love for Si Yan.
He stayed quietly aside, giving Si Yan and the cubs ti to bond.
Si Yan asked the four little ones, "Have you all awakened your Special Abilities?"
The four were very happy. Xi Qing said, "Mom, we’ve all awakened."
After that, everyone started sharing.
Dongchi animatedly demonstrated his power. "I feel like I can control the minds of Beastn, like making them zone out for a mont. Of course, I feel there’s more I can do; I’m still practicing."
Si Yan smiled and nodded. Dongchi has awakened a ntal Special Ability.
"ntal abilities can play a trendous role in actual combat," Si Yan explained. "If you can delve deeper, maybe you can even make the enemy see illusions, confusing their minds so they can’t distinguish between reality and fantasy."
Dongchi’s eyes suddenly lit up. "Mom, you’re amazing! I know how to practice now!"
Nan Mo looked at her with his bright, black pearl-like eyes, his gaze warm yet subdued. Mom, I can talk to wild beasts; they are all my good friends, he communicated.
Si Yan patted little Nan Mo’s head.
Nan Mo’s Special Ability is King of All Beasts. He also has another unusual trait—perhaps not a Special Ability in itself: he cannot speak verbally but communicates through Telepathy.
Her eyes curved in a smile as she said, "Your Special Ability, King of All Beasts, allows you to command all wild beasts in the Beast World. It’s a very strong and fortunate ability. With it, you’ll never feel alone; all the wild beasts will be your good friends."
Nan Mo smiled softly.
Then it was Xi Qing’s turn. He looked at Si Yan earnestly. "Mom, I can hear the thoughts of bad people."
Si Yan was taken aback. Having read many kinds of novels in my previous life, I knew all too well that being able to hear others’ thoughts wasn’t necessarily a blessing.
A flicker of worry crossed her eyes as she asked, "Everyone’s thoughts?"
Xi Qing blushed as his mother’s gaze fell on him. He shook his head. "No, I can’t hear everyone’s thoughts, only those of bad people."
Si Yan let out a sigh of relief. "Good."
If one could hear everyone’s thoughts, it might be a disaster. But if one can only hear bad people’s thoughts, that could be a fortune.
Xi Qing continued, "Mom, before, and also during your competition, I tried to listen to the thoughts of that bad female from the Golden Dragon clan."
"But I could only hear so jumbled noise, nothing like a complete sentence."
Si Yan and She Wang both fell silent.
The gecko appeared above Si Yan’s head. "Grandson, soone is helping her. Her destiny and fortune have been obscured, so it’s normal for little Xi Qing not to hear."
"Obscured destiny and fortune?" Si Yan was surprised.
The gecko said, "Yes, just as you thought. It’s related to the heavens."
"It’s him again. Why is he always targeting ? What have I possibly done to deserve this?" Si Yan grumbled internally.
Then it was Bei Ji’s turn. He said excitedly, "Mom, Mom, I can heal! I just discovered it. I can heal the wounds on little wild animals!"
A Healing Special Ability?
Si Yan was even more astonished.
In the Beast World, the abilities of Witch Doctors are very limited. If one received a serious injury in the wild, like a fracture, Witch Doctors basically wouldn’t even know how to set the leg. In the end, it would either beco infected, or the bone would heal on its own but end up bent. In the Beast World, possessing a Healing Special Ability ans being a Witch Doctor among Witch Doctors; it’s an incredibly elite existence. Even my Wood-based Ability only has a certain restorative power, which pales in comparison to true healing abilities. But thinking back to Bei Ji’s angelic nature, it doesn’t feel surprising after all.
"Bei Ji, you’re amazing," Si Yan smiled, praising each of her cubs and stroking their heads.
All four cubs are so cute, their heads are so nice to rub.
"Dongchi, Nan Mo, Xi Qing, Bei Ji," Si Yan watched her cubs with a smile.
The four cubs, having been called by na, all looked towards Si Yan.
Si Yan said with a smile, "You are all truly amazing."
Being praised by their mother, so blushed, so lowered their heads, so smiled, and so were bashful, but all of them were very happy.
Si Yan put Bei Ji down and called Xi Qing over.
She carefully removed the dicinal plaster from Xi Qing’s face and examined the wound beneath.
Xi Qing was nervous, and Si Yan was even more so.
Even in my era, if a celebrity disfigured their face, skin grafts rarely restored them to their original appearance. Let alone in this era. But the Beast World is also an era entirely different from the age of technology. Its system of Witch Doctor redies is completely different from what modern science offered. Perhaps there’s a chance.
She nervously peeled the poultice from Xi Qing’s face, then paused.
Xi Qing was extrely tense. To comfort Si Yan, he said, "Mom, if the wound on my face can’t be healed, then just let it be. I’ve already gotten used to having a scar on my face. I don’t mind it."
Dongchi, Nan Mo, and Bei Ji also gathered around, the three adorable cubs looking on, stunned.
My face is probably dood, Xi Qing thought.
However, just then, Bei Ji suddenly exclaid, "Third Brother, how co you’re so handso!"
Surprise and delight spread across the faces of Dongchi and Nan Mo.
Si Yan also said, "I’m surprised. I thought we would need to apply this for a few more days, but it healed in just one day! The Witch Doctor of the Cow Tribe was truly skilled. It’s a pity he’s no longer with us."
Xi Qing was taken aback. "What?"
Dongchi, as the eldest, patted Xi Qing’s shoulder. "Third Brother, your face is completely healed, and you look so handso now! You combine the best features of Mom and that scummy dad of ours. Suddenly, you’ve beco the most handso among us four!"
Si Yan handed a piece of snake scale to Xi Qing—the one She Wang had peeled off for her to use as a small mirror when they were in the Silver Wolf Tribe.
Xi Qing took the snake scale and looked at his reflection.
Now that we’ve seen Dad, there’s a basis for comparison among us four. Bei Ji looks most like Mom, while Dongchi looks most like that scummy dad. Nan Mo’s ears are like Dad’s, but his eyes are like Mom’s. Only my resemblance has always been unclear. But now, I can see it. My facial contours might be more like Dad’s, but my features lean towards Mom’s. Both Mom and Dad have good skin, so mine is good too.
Xi Qing’s lips pressed tightly together. He had already given up hope, but now he had received such a wonderful surprise.
I’m so happy, so happy my features look like Mom’s!!
He was suddenly overco with emotion, and tears welled up.
How embarrassing! I’m five years old; how can I still be crying in front of Mom?
Seeing her third cub actually crying, Si Yan panicked. "Xi Qing, what’s wrong? Don’t cry. You look very handso, really. No one can say anything bad about your appearance anymore."
Bei Ji grabbed Xi Qing’s small hand, quietly consoling him, "Third Brother, why are you crying? Don’t cry."
Dongchi and Nan Mo also looked a bit worried about Xi Qing.
Xi Qing wiped his tears. ", crying? You all saw wrong! I’m five years old; I don’t blubber like that."
Then, he broke into a wide grin. "I’m laughing! This is laughing, understand?!"
The four cubs looked at each other, and then they all laughed together.
Bei Ji nudged Xi Qing, rembering the plan the four brothers had made before they ca.
He chuckled softly and cleared his throat.
Just as Si Yan sensed that her four little rascals were up to sothing, she heard them exclaim in unison:
"Mom, we want to sleep with you tonight!!!"
She Wang’s expression changed instantly!
