After I Dumped 7 Beast Husbands and Ran

Hearing this, the males in the cave all fell silent in tacit agreement.

Without exception, they all stole glances at Nan Zishi.

Hu Bai was the most suspicious. He was the first male Nan Zishi had met upon returning to the Beast World, so he had witnessed her entire journey.

’So the female master didn’t just abandon me... she abandoned all of her Beast Husbands and cubs?’

But unlike the Silver Wolf Brothers, he couldn’t swallow his pride to look for her after she left.

The Silver Wolf Brothers, on the other hand, had decided to search for her from the very beginning.

Xuan Jin’s suspicions were confirmed once again, but he couldn’t find any joy in it.

’What was her reason for doing all this? Why did she leave? Will she leave again?’

A faint unease stirred in the sensitive Xuan Snake’s heart.

Chi Xiao felt a sense of kinship with Wolf Day and Wolf Night, as if they shared the same fate.

”My wolf brothers, I’m just like you. I was abandoned too. But my Junjun’s situation is special, so I couldn’t leave him to search for her. Otherwise, I would’ve been out there looking for sure.”

Wolf Day continued his story.

”We searched everywhere, but we couldn’t find you. Then we heard that someone had seen a small, thin female with black hair and black eyes in the Desert Mine Area. Wolf Night and I put our heads together and found a way to get in.”

”But even then, we still couldn’t find you. Instead, Wolf Night and I accidentally uncovered a huge secret in the mines. That’s why the rebel army was founded.”

Wolf Day turned to Lang Xian and Wolf Mu. ”The rebel army is a secret, so we never told the tribe the real reason Wolf Night and I went into the mines. I suspect the stories were passed from one beastman to another, and slowly, the truth became distorted.

”Little Xian, Little Mu, we went into the mines ourselves. It had nothing to do with your mother.”

Wolf Mu looked dazedly from his father, to Father Day, and then to Nan Zishi.

He tugged on Lang Xian’s sleeve, and the chubby cub said with wide-eyed innocence, ”Brother Xian, my dream came true! Sister Nan really is my mommy!”

Lang Xian bit his lower lip. He and Wolf Mu had grown up in the village and had only seen their fathers that one time. Their visit was short, and they were too busy clinging to them to ask any clear questions about their mother.

As a result, he’d always believed his mother was the one who got his two fathers thrown into the Beast Prison. He had hated her for all those years for nothing.

He had even been going about his search all wrong.

Hu Bai asked, ”What was the secret you discovered?”

Lying on the stone bed, Wolf Night stared at the ceiling. ”The Beast God... is dead.”

As Wolf Night’s words fell, the entire cave went completely still.

Nan Zishi stared at the Silver Wolf Brothers in astonishment.

”The Eastern Continent is the Beast God’s homeland. The Beast God’s very foundation is rooted in the Eastern Continent.”

”About a hundred years ago, something from beyond our realm began to influence the Beast World. The first place it affected was the entire Eastern Continent.”

Wolf Night said, ”A hundred years ago, the Eastern Continent was brimming with spiritual charm. Seven-striped Beast Kings and Eight-striped Beast Kings were common. Now, while the number of Beast Kings is dwindling elsewhere, there are still Eight-striped Beasts. But in the Eastern Continent, there are only a few scattered Seven-striped Beasts left.”

Nan Zishi’s mind was reeling.

’The Beast God is dead?’

’If the Beast God is dead, then who was I talking to in the Consciousness Space?’

’It couldn’t really have been just a wisp of his divine consciousness, could it?’

’No, that can’t be right.’

’I signed a Divine Contract with the Beast God. He promised to send me back to Earth in a month.’

’If he’s really dead, who’s going to send me back?!’

Wolf Day continued, ”The High Priest betrayed him. He conspired with that... thing, and five years ago, he killed the Beast God.”

Lu Ming’s expression suddenly darkened, and he lowered his head.

Wolf Night added, ”The Desert Mine Area was once a land brimming with spiritual charm. But ever since the Beast God’s remains were buried there, the land itself began to die. That was five years ago, which is when the spiritual charm of the entire Eastern Continent started to vanish.”

”The High Priest wants to replace the Beast God,” Wolf Day said. ”Everything he’s doing is for one purpose: to break through to nine patterns and ascend to godhood himself!”

”He’s an evil beastman. We can’t let the High Priest get what he wants,” Wolf Night said.

Wolf Day finished, ”That’s why we formed the rebel army.”

The entire cave fell silent.

The atmosphere was grim.

Only Chi Xiao, slow on the uptake, yelled, ”Wait, what did you just say? You formed the rebel army? The two of you? Don’t tell me you’re the... leaders of the rebel army?!!”

Wolf Day nodded.

Chi Xiao asked, ”So, you’re the ones I’ve been in contact with this whole time?”

”Chi Xiao, the leader of the High Mountain Clan?” Wolf Day asked.

”Yeah, that’s me! I may not be an official member of the rebel army, but I’m an unofficial one, right? That so-called High Priest—I’ve had it with him for a long time! He actually thinks I listen to him. Like hell I do!”

Wolf Day confirmed, ”Then I’m the one you’ve been in contact with.”

”Holy crap!” Once the shock wore off, Chi Xiao rushed forward and grabbed Wolf Day’s hand. ”You’re the big boss! I’ve wanted to meet you for so long, but you guys in the rebel army are masters of hiding! It’s an honor. I can’t believe I’m finally meeting you in person.”

”Wait,” Chi Xiao said, another wave of shock hitting him belatedly. ”So the leaders of the rebel army are also males from our family?!”

’Oh, wow. Excellent! Two more badasses in the family! And they’re the leaders of the rebel army!!!’

’I’m satisfied. Very satisfied!’

’That bird’s reaction time is ridiculously slow,’ Xuan Jin thought, speechless.

Hu Bai let out a faint smile.

The adults were deep in intense conversation, leaving Wolf Mu completely lost. He secretly whispered to Lang Xian, ”Brother Xian, does kissing make you have a baby?”

Lang Xian’s mouth twitched.

Wolf Mu thought he was whispering, but there wasn’t a single beastman there with poor hearing.

He continued in a hushed voice, ”Snake Daddy and Mommy were just kissing a whole bunch. Are they going to have a baby?”

Wolf Night was immobile; otherwise, he would have clamped a hand over his son’s mouth!

Lang Xian hissed through gritted teeth, ”Can you please not ask that right now?!”

”But I’m really curious! I—MMMPH...”

Lang Xian clamped a hand over Wolf Mu’s mouth and looked up, only to find every beastman staring at the two cubs.

Lang Xian: ”...”

It was Chi Xiao who kindly answered Wolf Mu’s question. ”Nope, they can’t.”

Wolf Mu mumbled from behind the hand, ”Why not? Then how do you have babies?”

”...” The air froze.

It was a little awkward.

It was Lu Ming who finally said, ”Little guy, be good. I’ll tell you later.”

Nan Zishi let out a soft chuckle.

’I really didn’t know they were my cubs before.’

’Now that I see them, my two little wolf cubs really are adorable.’

”Lang Xian, Wolf Mu, do you know where the two of you rank in the family?” Nan Zishi asked with a smile.

Lang Xian lowered the hand covering Wolf Mu’s mouth. When it came to this topic, the little cub’s interest was piqued.

”That fox cub and the mermaid cub... are they our siblings?” Lang Xian asked.

”Mhm,” Nan Zishi explained with a smile. ”The fox cub is named Fox Qi, and you already know the mermaid cub’s name is Little Fu.”

The males were also interested in this topic. For a moment, they all set aside the grim conversation from earlier and listened to the domestic chatter.

Lang Xian asked, ”So am I the oldest or the second oldest? Is Fox Qi older or younger than me?”

After finishing her treatment of Wolf Night’s wounds, Nan Zishi said softly, ”Neither. In this family, you’re number five. Wolf Mu, you’re number six.”

’Number seven is the Little Snake cub.’

Wolf Day and Wolf Night were a little surprised. ”Our sons are fifth and sixth?”

”Mhm. The eldest is Huo Jun, the second is...” Nan Zishi skipped over that one. ”The third is Fox Qi, and the fourth is Fufu. Little Xian, Little Mu, Fufu is older than you.”

”Fufu is older than us?!”

Lang Xian and Wolf Mu’s worlds shattered on the spot.

The ’little sister Fufu’ they’d been talking about all this time was actually their older sister?!!

Hearing the cubs’ birth order, the males in the cave grew pensive.

Xuan Jin crossed his arms, a flash of jealousy in his eyes. He quickly composed himself, however, thinking: ’Good, the line ends with me. There absolutely cannot be anyone else after mine. Not a single one!’

Chi Xiao was ecstatic. ’Even though I haven’t had my turn with the little female yet, I’m number one!’

’Especially here, in front of so many other males, to be acknowledged as the first by our female master!’

’I’m so happy!’

Hu Bai was pensive. The moment Nan Zishi’s eyes met his, he gave her a knowing smile and a nod.

Wolf Day and Wolf Night quickly accepted their place.

Xuan Jin, irritated by Chi Xiao’s smugness, said slowly, ”The cubs’ ranking doesn’t decide the males’ ranking in the family.”

Nan Zishi said, ”I don’t care about the others, but out of all the fathers here, you’re the one who lost his cub. You’re disqualified. You’re last in this family—number seven.”

Xuan Jin’s face fell, and he instantly grew frantic.
