After I Dumped 7 Beast Husbands and Ran

A frigid aura radiated from Xuan Jin. He swept an icy glare toward the Cold-blooded Scorpion Beastman. ”Are you looking to die?”

The Cold-blooded Scorpion Beastman laughed. ”If even you can take a mate, why can’t I?”

”You think we’re the same? At least I have eyebrows.”

”What’s with the personal attacks out of nowhere?!” Scorpion was truly exasperated.

He turned to Nan Zishi and said with feigned innocence, ”Lady Nan, you wouldn’t discriminate based on looks, would you? It’s not my fault my eyebrows won’t grow.”

Nan Zishi: ”...”

”I’m sorry, I refuse.” Nan Zishi’s rejection was swift and decisive.

The expressions on Hu Bai, Lanxing, and Xuan Jin’s faces all brightened considerably.

But the three tall, handsome males still chose to stand protectively in front of their female master.

’What kind of misshapen male dares to harass our female master?’

The few Cold-blooded Scorpion Beastmen hiding in the bushes to watch the drama exchanged bewildered glances.

”Our Clan Leader just issued a mating invitation and actually got rejected?”

”Oh my god. Our Clan Leader is the overlord of the Eastern Coast, the Seven-striped Cold-blooded Scorpion King. And he still got rejected like that??”

”So many females want to mate with our Clan Leader, and he’s never agreed. I can’t believe the one time he takes the initiative, he gets rejected!”

The male Scorpion Beastman had only been testing the waters, but after being rejected, Scorpion still asked in astonishment, ”Why?”

”Why do you want to mate with me?” Nan Zishi asked.

Scorpion suddenly chuckled twice and said, ”If Xuan Jin can take a mate, why can’t I?”

Xuan Jin’s cold eyes narrowed. ”You’re seriously sick in the head.”

Scorpion shot back, ”If you don’t know how to talk, then don’t. You’re really getting more and more talkative.”

”You’d stake your own destiny on me just for that?” Nan Zishi said coolly. ”You’re pretty reckless.”

Scorpion’s expression shifted slightly.

To make him give up for good, Nan Zishi slowly began to explain:

”As for why I’m rejecting you, there are three reasons.”

”First, you didn’t ask me to be your mate because you like me. So I won’t accept.”

”Second, I don’t like Cold-blooded Scorpion Beastmen.”

”Third, I would never mate with a beast trafficker. Give up!”

Actually, there were two more reasons.

One was that she already had seven Beast Husbands. Seven of them!

With three of them back now, she already felt like her home was full of verbal sparring, with the occasional threat of a real fight. It was a lot to handle.

She hadn’t even considered adding another.

Scorpion’s eyelid twitched.

Then, trying to save face, he said, ”I can accept your first point. But the second one... you even accepted a Cold-blooded Snake Beastman like Xuan Jin, so why can’t you accept me? Our habits are quite similar. We Cold-blooded Scorpion Beastmen and Cold-blooded Snake Beastmen both have to hibernate in the winter.”

Xuan Jin shot him a murderous glare, as sharp as a knife.

’Are we the same? Don’t lump me in with him.’

She shook her head. ”I won’t accept a mating proposal. But I can trade you something else for the two Silver Wolf Pups.”

”That’s truly heartbreaking,” Scorpion said sorrowfully. ”I have no use for Beast Skins.”

Just as Nan Zishi was feeling troubled, Scorpion released his grip, and Lang Xian and Wolf Mu tumbled to the ground.

”Forget it. Take these two little ones for today.”

Scorpion winked at Nan Zishi. ”I won’t give up this easily. Lady Nan, be sure to remember me.”

”Just shut up, will you?” Xuan Jin mimed gagging off to the side.

Scorpion cursed back at Xuan Jin, ”Since when were you such a drama queen?!”

The two little Silver Wolf Pups ran over to Nan Zishi and stood by her side.

Scorpion turned, giving a casual wave as if to look cool. ”I’m off. We’ll meet again.”

As Scorpion left, the Cold-blooded Scorpion Beastmen who had been hiding in the bushes emerged one by one and followed him.

’It’s over, it’s over! The rejected Clan Leader looks like he’s in a bad mood. A little scary!’

...

Nan Zishi crouched down, looking at the two Silver Wolf Pups before her—one chubby, one thin.

”Are you two okay?”

”We’re fine.” Lang Xian lowered his head, still saying quickly and a bit awkwardly, ”Thank you for saving us.”

’So unlucky. How did I end up getting saved by her twice?’

’I owe her a huge favor now!’

’How am I ever going to repay her?!’

The chubby Little Wolf Mu bowed earnestly. ”Thank you for saving me and my brother, Sister Nan.”

’So cute.’

’Are all five-year-old pups this adorable? So precious, so sensible, and so cute.’

’The awkward Little Xian is cute. The chubby Little Wolf Mu is cute too.’

Nan Zishi couldn’t help but ruffle both of their heads. The little pups’ ears bounced and flopped about!

’Woooow!! So fluffy! Every pat feels so joyful and blissful!’

Lang Xian, who had never liked having his head ruffled, forced himself to endure it. But after a while, when the female still hadn’t stopped, Little Xian finally couldn’t take it anymore and looked up in a huff.

”Female, I’m someone else’s pup, don’t just touch me whenever you want. If you want to pet someone, pet your own!”

Nan Zishi: ”...”

’He seems even cuter now.’

”What are you two going to do now? Do you want me to help you find your father and mother?”

Lang Xian mumbled, ”No need.”

”Female,” Lang Xian frowned, looking up at her. ”Can I ask you for something?”

”What is it?”

Lang Xian pointed to the hair tie on her head. ”I want that.”

The several males all turned to look at the little wolf.

Nan Zishi took off the hair tie. ”You want this? Sure, but let’s make a trade.”

”What kind of trade?” Little Xian asked in surprise.

Nan Zishi took out her phone and quickly snapped a photo of Little Xian and Little Wolf Mu, capturing their cute and dumbfounded expressions.

Without showing him the photo, she handed him the hair tie.

Her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled. ”Little Xian, Little Mu, a pleasure doing business with you.”

Lang Xian grabbed Wolf Mu’s hand and ran a few steps before turning back to thank Nan Zishi politely, ”Thank you for saving us twice. Also, I hope you find Fufu soon! We’re leaving now!”

”Hey!” Before Nan Zishi could say anything else, the two wolf pups had already scampered off in a flash.

They ran for a long time, until Nan Zishi’s cave was almost out of sight. Only then did Lang Xian stop and look back toward it with Wolf Mu.

”Brother Xian, what’s wrong?”

”Little Mu, wouldn’t it be nice if we had a good mother too?”

”Brother Xian, do you like Sister Nan too?”

The chubby pup said expectantly, ”Sister Nan is pretty and really gentle. Even though she has several males and pups, she’s really nice to every pup. Her family’s atmosphere seems really good too. It would be great if I had a mother like that.”

Lang Xian turned and started walking forward. Wolf Mu hurriedly chased after him.

”Brother Xian, where are we going now?”

Lang Xian was clutching a Beast Tooth in his hand. Tied to the Beast Tooth were several strands of black hair.

Since he was very young, he had never had a father or a mother. He and Little Mu were raised by the Beastmen in the tribe.

The members of the Silver Wolf Tribe told him that his mother was the reason his father had been sent to the Beast Prison.

As for what kind of person his mother was? They said she was a thin, small, ugly, and evil female.

Later, he and Wolf Mu had followed the other males of the tribe to the wasteland to meet their father and Night Daddy once.

The two daddies had given him these strands of black hair, telling him it was his mother’s hair.

Black hair... In the Beast World, plenty of black-furred beasts had black hair, so he hadn’t thought much of it at first...

Little Xian clenched the strands of hair, his heart beating a little fast.

Nervousness, unease, anticipation—he couldn’t quite tell what he was feeling.

Nan Zishi was very beautiful, definitely not ugly.

But every Beastman in the tribe said his mother was ugly. They couldn’t all be blind.

So, could it be possible...

’No, forget it. The chances are extremely low.’

He took one last look in the direction of Nan Zishi’s cave.

”Little Mu, I want to go to the wasteland first and see if we can meet our two daddies. I want to ask them for more details about our mother.”

”We’re going to see our daddies?! Little Mu really wants to see our daddies!” Wolf Mu’s big eyes sparkled.

”Mhm.”

The two Silver Wolf Pups changed direction, heading for the Eastern Wasteland on the Beast World Continent, the place where Beast Prisoners were held.
