Chapter 558 - 557: Originally, I Didn’t Want to Reveal My Identity
The female said smugly, "Mother Ai Xiao adores my Father. No matter what I do, as long as my Father puts in a good word, there’s nothing that can’t be smoothed over."
"So, you and your father are partners in crime, doing all sorts of things that would outrage anyone?" Si Shuo smiled. "And you snatched all these males, too?"
"Partners in crime? My Father and I are second only to one and above all others... That’s right, I traded for all these males with Crystal Stones. There are plenty of males out there, but Crystal Stones are what really matter..."
Hearing this, Si Shuo smiled and gave Ali a meaningful look. The little guy immediately understood and nodded, beginning to mutter in a low voice, "Dearest..."
Xiao Cheng added, "Piqiu Beast God!"
"Dearest Piqiu Beast God, this day, a male..."
Si Shuo’s eyes flickered as she asked the female, "Do you dare say your Father’s name?"
"Why wouldn’t I dare? It’s Hu Hang, Mother Ai Xiao’s absolute favorite! It’s only because my own mother met Father first, otherwise I would have been born from Mother Ai Xiao’s womb," the young female said, looking proud by association.
Si Shuo then asked for the squirrel female’s name.
"Lily."
"So, do you like Hu Hang?" Si Shuo whispered in Lily’s ear.
Lily didn’t quite understand what Si Shuo was planning, but she answered honestly, "Hu Hang is handsome. If you don’t count the males in your family, he could be called the most beautiful male in all of Beiping City. Who wouldn’t like him?
It’s just that he’s with my cousin. Out of respect for our family ties, I couldn’t try to win him over... but I definitely would have.
Young lady, you can’t just agree to her demands. Even though a male’s Beast Mark can be transferred, it can only happen three times.
It’s basically only used when a male is truly despised and rejected by his female. Otherwise, how could the Beast God have that much free time?
If you transfer your male to her, she definitely won’t transfer him back to you so easily..."
Si Shuo smiled and nodded. "So it can’t just be transferred casually. That’s a relief!"
She shot a glance at Ali, who continued, "Dearest Piqiu Beast God, you heard that, didn’t you? The male, Hu Hang, uses his good looks to bully others, and his daughter is riding on his coattails, even trying to steal my Fathers.
This kind of behavior is a terrible influence. The Beast Mark exists to bind males and females, not to satisfy personal greed... For Hu Hang’s daughter to be so arrogant and tyrannical, she must have been terribly spoiled... The female Lily looks kind and good-hearted. It would be very reasonable for her to be the one to discipline the male Hu Hang and his child..."
Hu Hang was no simple character. He used his good looks to bewitch the City Lord’s Wife and had committed his fair share of wicked deeds.
Sure enough, as soon as Ali finished his prayer, a white light shot from the direction of the City Lord Mansion. With a WHOOSH, it drilled into Lily’s body.
Lily froze, feeling a searing heat on her arm. She hastily pushed up her sleeve and saw a new Beast Mark on her arm—that of a White Fox!
"Th-this..." Lily looked up at Si Shuo in disbelief, then down at her own arm. "It’s..."
"Oh, so Hu Hang is a White Fox Beastman?" Si Shuo said with a raised eyebrow and a smile. "Ma’am, even though Hu Hang has used his looks to bully people in the past, he’s your Beast Husband now. You’ll have to keep a tight rein on him, and especially on that arrogant daughter of his who doesn’t know her place! Otherwise, when she causes some catastrophic trouble, you’ll be the one left to clean up the mess.
You don’t have the same influence as the City Lord’s Wife, after all..."
Lily felt a little dizzy. ’How did I just end up with Beiping City’s most beautiful male?’ The title itself was secondary; everyone whispered that he knew some secret bedroom arts, which was how he’d kept the City Lord’s Wife completely infatuated and exclusively devoted to him for over a decade, giving him a status on par with the City Lord himself.
"What nonsense are you spouting? My Mother Ai Xiao adores my Father! How could he possibly be given to this old hag?" the young White Fox female snarled, baring her teeth in resentment.
"Hu Mei, who are you calling an old hag?" Lily demanded angrily. She raised her arm, showing off the White Fox Beast Mark—the one with a tuft of red fur on its head. "If my cousin finds out that your Father’s Bond-Mistress changed because of you, don’t you think she might just want to kill you?"
Hu Mei’s eyes widened in horror. ’She’s right.’ If she hadn’t been so taken with this group of handsome males from outside the forest and continued her usual bullying of females and hoarding of males, her Father’s Beast Mark wouldn’t have mysteriously switched its Bond-Mistress!
She knew better than anyone how much Ai Xiao doted on Hu Hang; it was the entire reason she could be so arrogant.
She didn’t dare stay a moment longer. In a frantic hurry, she ordered her males to rush home, pack their things, and leave at once!
The onlookers were completely baffled. "Female Lily, is Hu Hang’s Beast Mark really on you now?" one asked in disbelief.
By now, Lily had recovered from her shock. She smiled and nodded. "Of course it is. Other White Fox Beast Marks are hard to tell apart, but Hu Hang’s is easy. Look at this..."
The Beast God worshipped in their Guiping Beast Country was the Cheng Huang. None of them had ever seen the Beast God in person, but the Beast God Statue depicted a White Fox, albeit one with horns on its back. For this reason, the Fox Clan was considered nobility in the Guiping Beast Country. The White Fox Clan, in particular, was the nobility among nobles. In fact, the Beast King himself was a winged White Fox male!
Because Hu Hang’s Beast Form had red markings on its forehead, everyone believed he was a fortunate soul marked by the Beast God. Coupled with his handsome looks and outstanding talent, he had already transferred his Mark twice, with each of his three females holding a higher status than the last.
No one expected his final Bond-Mistress to be Lily. After all, this was his last time to transfer his Beast Mark.
The crowd offered half-hearted congratulations to Lily. But Lily wasn’t a fool. She thanked Si Shuo, then quickly gathered her males to go to the City Lord Mansion, abduct Hu Hang, and flee to another Beast City to lay low.
All eyes turned to Si Shuo, burning with curiosity.
"Young lady, how did you do that?" They had thought it was amazing enough that females on the Yongchang Continent could freely trade Beast Marks. They never imagined someone could complete a transfer without the Bond-Mistress’s consent.
Si Shuo lowered her gaze, her eyes darting thoughtfully. ’Whether it was the Red-winged Black Oriole Beastmen or Hu Mei, they targeted us because we’re outsiders from beyond the forest. We have no roots on the Yongchang Continent, no family or friends to back us up. This sort of thing will probably happen more and more. It won’t stop for at least a year or two.’
’Unless...’ She lifted her gaze and said coolly, "It’s very simple. I am a Divine Servant. I possess certain abilities that surpass yours. Whenever I witness an injustice, I can report it directly to the Beast God.
Otherwise, who have you ever seen that can transfer a Beast Mark just like that? I didn’t want to reveal my identity, but you all pushed things too far. I dislike trouble, so I have no choice but to make myself known.
From now on, you’d better not provoke me. Otherwise," she chuckled, "I’ll make absolutely sure you regret it."
The crowd glanced at each other, their eyes filled with more confusion than usual as experience warred with logic. ’Should they believe her? It seems too absurd. It wasn’t that the Yongchang Continent had no Divine Servants, but they were exceedingly rare, and every single one was raised and worshipped from a young age...’
