After I Dumped 7 Beast Husbands and Ran

”Sir!”

Wolf Day pushed Hou Ting away and threw the Beast Belt to the ground. Stubbornly, he dragged his injured body, staggering over to a corner to sit down.

Although their conversation was quiet, a gray wolf Male Beastman, Wolong, happened to catch a bit of it.

Wolong picked up the Beast Belt from the ground and tied it to his wrist.

’Wearing a Beast Belt gets you chosen by a female. You’d be an idiot not to.’

...

It was a bright, sunny day.

Nan Zishi stretched languidly, welcoming the new day!

’I slept so well last night. My body feels so much lighter!’

New Sin Beasts were arriving at the mining area today, so things were a little livelier than usual.

Little Man, the little panda female, came skipping over to find Nan Zishi.

”Nan Zishi! Come with me to pick out a male! What if you find one you like?”

Nan Zishi had no intention of going. But just then, the Xuan Snake Beastman’s sarcastic voice piped up.

”Go on and look if you want. I won’t blame you even if you really do form a contract with a male.”

Nan Zishi: ”...”

She turned to look at Xuan Jin’s bizarre expression, the likes of which hadn’t been seen in centuries.

But Nan Zishi couldn’t resist teasing him. It was his own fault for always being so domineering and bullying her.

So she said, ”Alright, I’ll go take a look then.”

At her words, Xuan Jin’s face soured completely.

’Heh. Damn it, she’s actually going!’

Nan Zishi happily walked off with Little Man.

The Xuan Snake Beastman followed behind them, his face a mask of misery.

Lu Ming tagged along as well. Completely baffled by the adults’ logic, he asked Xuan Jin, ”Xuan Jin, if you don’t want her to go pick a male, why don’t you just say so? You look like you’re about to cry right now.”

Xuan Jin lowered his head, his face grim. ”Don’t I look like I want to kill someone?”

”You don’t,” Lu Ming replied.

Up ahead, Little Man was still chatting with Nan Zishi.

Little Man said excitedly, ”Let me tell you, you can pick from the un-mastered males to be your Beast Husband. And you can pick from the mastered ones, too.”

”You can pick the mastered ones, too? You mean I can even choose ones who have already contracted with a female master?”

”That’s right. You just pick the mastered ones to be your Beast Slaves.”

Nan Zishi’s eyes lit up.

She turned back to Xuan Jin and said, ”Xuan Jin, we can pick out a few Beast Slaves, too!”

Xuan Jin: ”...” His killing intent intensified.

The chilling aura made Lu Ming sneeze several times before he finally said, ”Just say something! If you’re not happy about it, just say so!”

Nan Zishi looked back. ”What are you two talking about?”

Xuan Jin clamped a hand over Lu Ming’s mouth to shut him up. He said to Nan Zishi, ”It’s nothing.”

”Oh.”

Nan Zishi turned back around, unable to hold back a couple of secret giggles.

The mining area had plenty of open land. Bao Fei had this batch of Sin Beasts stand in formation in a clearing.

All eighteen females from the mining area had come.

Female Wolf Yu glanced around, searching for a male wearing a Wolf Beast Skin Belt.

Nan Zishi was a newly joined female, and quite a few of the other females were sizing up the newcomer.

”That must be the new female. She looks quite pretty. I wonder what crime she committed.”

A Falcon female said, ”For a female to end up here, it definitely wasn’t for some petty crime.”

”What kind of crime? It couldn’t be for killing another female, could it?”

”Maybe it’s even worse. Killing two females? Wiping out a whole family?”

”Eek, so vicious.”

A Grizzly Bear female said, ”Are you all still gossiping about her? Shouldn’t you be looking at the Beastmen up front? This is this batch of available males. According to the usual rules, each female can only choose one male.”

”Are you guys going to pick a Beast Husband?”

”My Beast Husband slots are very precious.” After a glance around, Wolf Jade said slowly, ”I’ll just pick a few Guardian Beasts and give them a chance to earn a spot as one of my Beast Husbands.”

”I don’t really care. Beast Husband, Guardian Beast, Beast Slave—I’m open to all of them. The important thing is that I like him.”

”What do you all think that black-haired female with Little Man is looking for?”

”She’s so beautiful, her Beast Husband must be incredibly powerful. I’m not going to compete with her.”

”Look at you, so hopeless.”

...

The males below were divided into two categories.

One category was the un-mastered males. Within this group, the young, tall, and handsome ones were placed at the front for the females to choose from.

The other category was the mastered males, who bore a female’s mark. They stood off to the side, not in any particular order but scattered about, since they could only be chosen as Beast Slaves anyway.

The gray wolf, Wolong, glanced at Wolf Day at the front before picking a conspicuous spot to stand.

He even deliberately waved his hand to show off the beast skin belt on his wrist.

When Wolf Day saw this, his brow furrowed. ’Once this is over, I have to tell the other Beastmen about this to prevent any mistakes in our plan.’

His old wounds flared up, and the unbearable pain forced him to lean against a rock to rest.

The females moved among the Male Beastmen, inspecting them like merchandise, occasionally grabbing a muscle to see how firm it was.

”Wolf Jade, you’re looking so carefully. Are you planning to choose a Beast Husband?”

Wolf Jade cleared her throat. ”No, I’m just picking a Guardian Beast. The males in the front row are the most outstanding ones, so you all take a good look. I won’t fight you for them.”

When the rebel army’s Beastman told her to choose a male, he hadn’t mentioned that the man in question was the rebel leader, so Wolf Jade didn’t pay it much mind.

Little Man pulled on Nan Zishi’s arm. ”Let’s go look too. I want to choose a Beast Husband with an excellent bloodline.”

Nan Zishi wanted to leave. ”I’m not going. I just came to see what all the excitement was about. I’m not choosing anyone.”

Little Man said, ”Just come look with me. You can help me choose, too.”

Nan Zishi really couldn’t say no to her, so she decided to just treat it as more sightseeing. ”Alright, fine.”

As Little Man pulled Nan Zishi over, Nan Zishi could keenly feel the pressure around Xuan Jin plummet.

He slowly, deliberately stroked his own Snake Scales.

...

Little Man was cute and Nan Zishi was beautiful. As the two of them walked over, countless expectant gazes focused on them.

A peacock male fanned his tail feathers for them, a bear male flexed his pectoral muscles, and the other males all showed off their strength in their own ways.

”Female, pick me! I’m good-looking!”

”Me, I’m strong! I can work hard!”

”Pick me, pick me! I’m more considerate than all of them!”

Little Man couldn’t stop giggling.

”Nan Zishi, what kind of male do you think I should choose?”

”Just think about what kind of male you need right now and pick one like that. Or you could just choose one you like.”

In the corner, the ears of an ugly Silver Wolf male twitched. His hair was gray and his face was covered in pustules. He sniffed the air lightly; something felt strange. He looked up.

A small, red head flashed through a gap in the crowd.

’No, it’s not her.’

Then, a smiling, fluffy head of black hair also flashed past.

He got a clear look at her.

She was wearing a garment of black Snake Shedding, and her hair, as thick as a crow’s feathers, cascaded down. Her sparkling black eyes were exceptionally bright.

When the corners of her lips curved into a smile, her whole face seemed to glow.

Her skin was flawless and porcelain-white. She was very thin, which didn’t conform to the Beast World’s general aesthetic of plumper figures being more beautiful.

But... one glance was enough to see that she was very beautiful.

Wolf Day was completely baffled.

’...Strange.’

’Why did this beautiful female carry the strong scent of my female master?’

’But my female master definitely doesn’t look like this.’
