’Can love really be divided into several parts?’
In fact, in her original world, the birth and survival rates of girls had plumted due to reasons like environntal pollution and increased radiation.
Although it hadn’t reached the severe levels of the Beast World, a system of polyandry was already beginning to erge.
If An Jin hadn’t co to the Beast World, she would have been forced by the Ministry of Reproduction to procreate with several n after her experint was complete.
But even so, her tolerance for such a system wasn’t high.
After all, everyone has selfish desires. How could a feeling like love—so filled with jealousy, possessiveness, and exclusivity—possibly allow others to intrude?
Hearing An Jin’s muttering, Gou Ni, as a young native female, was completely bewildered.
She stopped what she was doing, leaned over to feel An Jin’s forehead, and pouted. "Ah Jin, how could you think that? It’s always been this way. Don’t tell you only have one father?"
An Jin lowered her head and said nothing, afraid she would expose herself if she said more. ’Right, I can’t judge this world’s rules by my own standards,’ she thought.
"Actually, Ah Jin, I can understand what you’re saying."
Gou Ni sighed, glanced into the house, and then lowered her voice. "To be honest, at ho, Hei Xuan and Hu Che often fight out of jealousy. That big tiger Hu Che relies on his Fourth Rank strength to bully Hei Xuan all the ti..."
"But whenever I’m in danger, they both co to save . That’s the benefit of having more than one mate."
"If your mates aren’t strong enough or nurous enough, little females like us simply can’t survive in this world..."
As for what An Jin had said about splitting one love in two, Gou Ni scratched her not-so-bright head, still unable to quite understand. "Everyone has several mates! Besides, I like both Hu Che and Hei Xuan. They’re very good to . I like them both!"
An Jin was speechless. ’If this weren’t the Beast World, that would be a classic line from a scummy girl’s playbook.’
But to be honest, compared to those females who collected a dozen or so males like they were gathering items, Gou Ni was actually quite devoted. It seed she had no intention of looking for other males besides Hei Xuan and Hu Che.
The Black Eagle in the tree cooed twice, seemingly very moved. Noticing Gou Ni was a little thirsty, it flew to a nearby patch of woods, picked so fresh, juicy fruits, and placed them in its mate’s hand.
Gou Ni kneaded her aching little hands and rested for a while. Just as she took a couple of bites of fruit, her gaze fell on An Jin, and she suddenly thought of the Snake Beast by her friend’s side.
As her good friend, Gou Ni couldn’t help but offer a worried reminder. "Ah Jin, about that Snake Beast with you... *Sigh*, I don’t know if I should say this, but a male’s strong possessiveness isn’t necessarily a good thing for us females..."
"No matter how docile that Snake Beast is with you, he’s still a Wandering Beast."
"If the other mates you find aren’t as strong as him, an overly aggressive and domineering Wandering Beast like that might secretly bully or even kill the other male..."
This wasn’t so horrifying, baseless rumor; it was sothing that had actually happened to people they knew.
This kind of situation had occurred in many tribes.
That’s why most females kept their number of mates to five or fewer.
An Jin couldn’t help but slow down her work, utterly shocked.
"So, you see! So!"
Gou Ni thoroughly despised the behavior of such domineering males—it was too cruel. She couldn’t help but emphasize again and again to her friend, "You have to establish your dominant position as the female! Otherwise, their hearts might beco twisted by jealousy and they could develop insane ideas about harming the female. That’s the scariest part!"
"...I understand."
An Jin nodded with difficulty. ’So, it turns out being a female in the Beast World isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. You could even be brutally murdered by the one sleeping next to you.’
"Nini, co and eat! I made your favorite honey-roasted at!"
A man’s concerned voice called from inside the house.
Gou Ni turned her head and shouted back, "Just leave it in the pot for now! I’m not hungry yet. Hei Xuan just picked so fruit for ."
Filled with jealousy, Hu Che ran out of the house, transford into a tiger, and started clawing at the large banyan tree, trying to get at the Black Eagle.
The banyan tree swayed back and forth, and large leaves rained down, but the Black Eagle remained as still as a mountain. It tucked its sleek, black head under its wing and preened its feathers.
The tiger below gnashed its teeth in frustration, but it couldn’t climb the tree to bite the eagle.
"Nini is mine tonight!"
The tiger roared at the tree.
The Black Eagle flapped its wings and transford into a handso, albeit sowhat slender, black-haired young man. He stood steadily on the violently shaking branch, his voice low and calm. "Nini was with you yesterday. Today, she should be with !"
