Seven Cubs, Seven Fathers, Zero Days Off

Chapter 118: Chapter 118: Level 8S

Bai Chaosi’s incisive remarks almost made Shen Yue give him a thumbs-up.

’As expected of a fox.’

’His analysis was so on point, his mind so meticulous!’

She was actually quite puzzled about the matter of Mu Silin not having broken off the engagement.

According to her memories, six of the original owner’s seven Beast Husbands had repeatedly sent people to the Duke Mansion to call off the engagement, which was what drove the original owner to rush to Beastification City to vent her fury.

So, six of them must have been constantly trying to call off the engagement.

As for which six they were, she still didn’t know. Seeing the Leopard holding the engagement contract, she had assumed he was the only one who hadn’t tried to call it off!

But after hearing what Bai Chaosi said, she felt it wasn’t the Leopard, either.

’If he really didn’t want to call off the engagement with the original owner, why would he rather go to Beastification City than marry her?’

Just as she was pondering this, Bai Chaosi voiced her thoughts:

”I’m right, aren’t I, Black Panther General? Holding that engagement contract doesn’t mean you didn’t want to call it off back then. You might have sent people to the Duke Mansion to request an annulment yourself. All one has to do is check with the Duke Mansion, and it will be perfectly clear. Who were the ones who sent people to the Duke Mansion time and again, demanding to break the engagement? Who caused her to suffer all this?”

At these words, Mu Silin’s expression completely froze.

He was one of them.

He couldn’t escape the blame for what Shen Yue had suffered.

Bai Chaosi watched him coolly.

”As for this Young Master, I have never, from beginning to end, proposed calling off the engagement with the Duchess. Even when terrible rumors about her were spreading everywhere, the White Fox Clan never sent anyone to suggest it. And you’re trying to argue with me about whether I care for her? You tell me. Does this Young Master care, or not?”

As Bai Chaosi spoke, his eyes suddenly caught sight of a piece of cloth from a garment hiding behind the door.

He then raised his voice slightly.

”If I didn’t care for her, why would this Young Master be competing at all? Wouldn’t I be more comfortable back on Snow Ridge? It is precisely because this Young Master has chosen her and cares for her that I traveled a thousand leagues to find her, that I am willing to fight. I don’t care what she is like—whether she’s the ugly Duchess from the rumors or the person she is now.”

’Besides, Shen Yue was the only female who could arouse him.’

’How could he possibly let her go!’

When Mu Silin heard this, he was stunned. ’So the one who never tried to call off the engagement was Bai Chaosi?’

Shen Yue, listening in, was also a little surprised.

’How could such a noble gentleman, as pristine as a lotus on a snowy peak, have tolerated an engagement with the original owner?’

’Shouldn’t he have been the first one to arrogantly demand the engagement be broken?’

’I never would have expected it!’

’So, that means the Leopard was one of the six? He sent people to the Duke Mansion to call off the engagement before?’

’Tsk, tsk. I have to say, this bickering between the men has provided some juicy gossip!’

’They, on the other hand, might feel a bit of guilt, thinking they were the ones who put her in this predicament.’

’But she heard it differently. Ever since she’d guessed the original owner’s plan, she had started to pity them instead.’

’They had been so thoroughly manipulated by the original owner.’

’She figured that even if they hadn’t tried to call off the engagement and had been willing to marry the original owner, she would have probably pulled some stunt to force their hand!’

’Because the original owner’s goal from the start was never to marry them, but only to use them for their seed.’

’So, it wasn’t their fault.’

Bai Chaosi hadn’t finished speaking and added another sentence:

”Besides, this Young Master is fighting for a place in her heart, not that damn Beast Husband title.”

’Oh?’

’So the cool, otherworldly Snow Mountain Young Master curses too!’

’It seems everyone has a hidden side they show only to her!’

After hearing this, Lan Cangyue couldn’t take it anymore.

’Why should he get to have the stage all to himself?’

He wasn’t about to indulge him. He changed his tune and said:

”Fine. You don’t care? Then I’ll go tell Shen Yue to make sure she never gives you the title of Beast Husband.”

”Since you don’t want it anyway, we’ll just let you be a male on the fringes, like a concubine.”

Bai Chaosi’s eyes instantly grew cold, and he shot a surreptitious glance toward the door.

’This damn fish is my nemesis.’

Shen Yue couldn’t help the corner of her mouth from twitching. ’I can take concubines?’

’How cool is that?’

Seeing Bai Chaosi’s foul expression, a slight smirk touched the corner of Lan Cangyue’s enchanting face. He no longer seemed so noble and carefree.

His expression was disdainful, his tone utterly domineering.

”In any case, I, Lan Cangyue, am here to fight and to win.”

”I came all this way from the sea area to the land; who dares say I’m not sincere? Once I’ve chosen someone, it’s for life. I don’t just care about her, I also care about the title of Beast Husband. If you all don’t have what it takes to beat me, then don’t blame me for using every trick I have!”

”Only the one who can stand openly by her side will have the right to speak!”

After all, the Mermaid Clan had only one partner in their lifetime, only one woman.

This was a trait passed down in their loyal, pure, and noble blood.

Shen Yue was stunned by Lan Cangyue’s domineering and incredibly possessive declaration.

’It seems he doesn’t just blow bubbles and call people ”baby” or ”master.” Beyond being sensual and flirty, he’s also extremely forceful, with a dark, overpowering possessiveness. How intense!’

At that moment, Huang Ziyue, who had been silent all this time, glanced at the others. His expression was cold.

But his eyes held the look of someone certain of victory.

’After all.’

’Shen Yue had said he was different in her heart, that his place was unique.’

’He was her choice for the first Beast Husband.’

’What was the point of all this arguing?’

’Shen Yue had already chosen him.’

After Lan Cangyue finished speaking, no one in the courtyard said another word.

It seemed no one wanted to argue any longer.

After a long silence.

Mu Silin took a deep breath, as if to compose himself.

Then he spoke.

”Fine. Since we’re all sincere, all doing this for her, then let’s compete. This General will compete too, so don’t blame me for resorting to my own methods! We’ll just see who can win the position of first Beast Husband!”

He had put it all on the table.

’Since everyone is being so shameless and unscrupulous, he might as well be shameless too!’

’Let’s see who can play dirtier!’

He paused for a moment, then changed the subject.

”So for now, why don’t we discuss how to protect her.”

”You’re all aware of the situation with the man in black. He is clearly targeting her and the child.”

”As far as I know, you’ve all sent people to investigate, and I am no exception. So, talk. What results do you have?”

Listening in, Shen Yue’s interest was piqued. ’So these men have all been investigating this matter behind the scenes?’

’They usually act so carefree, but they’ve been doing important work behind her back.’

’But that made sense. Each of these men was powerful enough to shake the K Empire to its foundations; none of them was less intelligent than the others.’

’The man in black’s appearance was too strange, and his power was too unnatural for them not to be suspicious and investigate.’

The men all glanced at each other.

Lan Cangyue was the first to speak.

”I sent a message back to the sea area through the waterways to investigate. Books in the Undersea Palace record that the Realm of Qi Breaking is a state one can only reach after their spiritual power attains Level 8.”

Mu Silin nodded. ”That’s right. According to the annals of the Black Panther Royal Family, Level 8 spiritual power is equivalent to Level 8S spiritual power. S is level one, SS is level two, and so on, so Level 8 is Level 8S.”

Lan Cangyue continued.

”From what we know, a person with that level of spiritual power has basically shed the characteristics of a Beastman and possesses a High Level body. Not only can they manifest their spiritual power as a physical object outside their body, but they also have the ability to be immortal and impervious to harm.”

Shen Yue’s heart pounded with shock as she listened.

’Level 8S?’

’The highest existing spiritual power level in this Beast World is only SSS, and no one has ever even managed to reach it!’

’And yet, the man in black was someone at or above Level 8S.’

’That’s absolutely terrifying!’
