CHAPTER 413: CHAPTER 404: RECKLESS DEPARTURE_1

Si Yan’s cave immediately became lively.

To celebrate the hatching of the Lord and Lady of the Lord’s two Dragon Eggs, the cave was bustling with snake Beastmen, silver wolf Beastmen, and Merfolk Beastmen coming and going.

Changsheng and Yi Zhen rushed over. They hastily explained how to care for the baby dragons, telling them that the young dragons could eat meat and drink milk from an early age and were easy to raise.

Eat meat and drink milk? Easy to raise? Si Yan thought.

She picked up the little purple dragon, then tossed a Red Insect Crystal to it. The little purple dragon hugged the Red Insect Crystal and started nibbling on it. CRUNCH, CRUNCH.

The expressions on Changsheng and Yi Zhen’s faces instantly turned awkward.

Si Yan put the little purple dragon down, and it cheerfully went off to find its brothers and sister.

Easy to raise? That’s a myth, Si Yan mused. With the little one eating so much, I need to think of ways to earn some extra cash. Hmm, selling wine might not be enough. Perhaps I could develop the cotton industry and make cotton clothes or something. But the most profitable venture would likely still be real estate. I could develop the Delusional Domain in the future, establish a commercial and residential area, and sell houses later. Heh, I’m quite the cunning merchant.

After eating and drinking its fill, the little purple dragon crawled onto its big brother Dongchi’s back and tugged at his ear.

Dongchi looked back, his large red eyes observing his younger brother. "What’s up?"

The little purple dragon wagged its tail and pointed outside.

Bei Ji said, "Big Brother, it’s too noisy here. Little Five and Little Six might not be able to stand it."

The four brothers conferred. Dongchi carried the little purple dragon, while Nan Mo carefully held the little Golden Dragon. The six of them then stealthily left the cave.

Not long after leaving the cave, the little purple dragon jumped down from Dongchi’s back.

Dongchi was startled. "Little Five, you’re still too young to jump like that!"

The little purple dragon looked back at its big brother, wagging its tail. It spread its short legs and squatted. PLOP. It pooped.

Seeing her older brother pooping, the little Golden Dragon also wanted to come down. Nan Mo set her down. She walked around the little purple dragon, delicately turning a few circles to find a spot, and pooped as well.

The four older brothers were speechless. So that’s why! Little Five wanted us to bring him out just so he could poop, they thought.

Xi Qing squatted down and said, "Little Five, Little Six, after pooping, you should bury it, you know?"

The two little dragons turned around, tilting their heads in confusion as they looked at their third brother.

The four older siblings immediately knew they had a task. The four cuties eagerly vied to teach the two little ones how to bury their poop.

The two little dragons learned quickly. They turned around and used their hind legs to kick dirt, covering their poop until the smell was gone.

As Dongchi watched them, he said seriously, "The smell of feces is very strong. Both Beastmen and wild beasts have an excellent sense of smell; they can detect your poop from far away and gather a lot of information from it. So, for our own protection, we must bury our poop every time. Don’t find it bothersome, okay?"

The two little dragons obediently nodded.

Previously, Dongchi and Nan Mo had been holding the babies, but now Xi Qing and Bei Ji quickly vied to carry Little Five and Little Six.

Bei Ji, his face flushed, said to his brothers, "Let’s take Little Five and Little Six hunting. Fresh Insect Crystals might taste even better."

The two little dragons got excited when they heard this. They flipped onto their backs, patted their tummies, and then nodded vigorously.

Tummies hungry! Want food! they seemed to convey.

The entire Delusional Domain was under the control of the snake Beastmen, making the vicinity quite safe. Moreover, all four brothers possessed Red Crystal Strength, so there shouldn’t be any major problems.

Dongchi nodded. "Alright. Xi Qing, Bei Ji, you two take good care of Little Five and Little Six. Nan Mo and I will go hunting, and the Insect Crystals we find will be for them to eat."

"Okay!" Xi Qing and Bei Ji exclaimed.

The six cuties headed to the edge of the domain. Dongchi and Nan Mo searched for high-rank insects in the jungle, while Xi Qing and Bei Ji followed, keeping the babies entertained.

What the six little ones didn’t know was that their departure from the cave to play had not gone unnoticed by the adults inside.

Si Yan and She Wang had noticed them early on.

At the same time, many of the visiting Beastmen had also spotted them.

So, while Dongchi and Nan Mo searched for insects, many snake Beastmen in the jungle were also helping. When these Beastmen found insects, they didn’t kill them but instead herded them towards Dongchi and Nan Mo.

It was rather like a prince going hunting, with his attendants anxiously managing every detail from behind the scenes.

Dongchi and Nan Mo successfully killed many insects and obtained fresh Insect Crystals, which they washed well for the two little cubs.

These Insect Crystals, freshly killed and prepared by their older brothers right before their eyes, must have tasted even better. The two little dragon cubs ate with gusto. CRUNCH, CRUNCH, MUNCH, MUNCH. They clearly savored every bite.

After washing two more Insect Crystals, Dongchi voiced his doubt, "Strange, are there really so many high-level insects today?"

He thought for a moment, then shook his head and chuckled. "Whatever, it’s a good thing anyway."

However, before long, a competitive frenzy swept through the Beastmen.

"The insects I gather for the young masters will definitely outnumber yours!"

"Get lost! With your meager strength, I’ll be the one to find the most!"

"Stop your damn nonsense! With your pathetic skills, how many insects could you possibly find?!"

Unbeknownst to the six little ones, a frantic insect-hunting craze had erupted.

Consequently, when Dongchi and Nan Mo saw the mountain of insects before them, their expressions changed dramatically.

"Holy crap! Nan Mo, Xi Qing, Bei Ji, Little Five, Little Six, run! Run for your lives!!!" Dongchi yelled.

The four older siblings didn’t hesitate and immediately turned to flee. They had barely taken two steps when several thick purple arcs of electricity shot past them from both sides, striking the insects directly.

In a mere instant, a large area of insects was scorched black.

The Beastmen peering from the outskirts wore very complicated expressions.

The six little ones quickly ran towards She Wang.

"Papa Beast!" "Papa Beast!" "Papa Beast!" "Papa Beast!"

"HISS, HISS." "HISS."

Only at times like this did they feel their crappy dad was somewhat useful,

they thought.

Si Yan followed behind She Wang with a giggle. As soon as the little purple and golden dragons saw Si Yan, their eyes lit up. The two little ones quickly hopped onto Si Yan, then coiled themselves inside her fluffy hair, one on each side.

They peeked out their heads, their sparkling eyes utterly charming.

"HISS, HISS." "HISS, PEEP."

The two little dragons carefully nibbled on Si Yan’s hair.

「Night fell.」

The six little cubs were sprawled all over Si Yan as they slept.

Some had coiled around Si Yan in their snake forms, some remained in human form clinging to her arms, and others were curled up in her hair, refusing to come out.

Si Yan hugged the cubs, sleeping exceptionally soundly.

She Wang sat up, gazing intently at the sweetly sleeping young female, his expression exceedingly tender.

He bent down, wanting to kiss his female’s lips, but ultimately worried he might wake her.

Before meeting Si Yan, he had always been alone. After meeting Si Yan, he had always been by her side, never separated.

This was his first time facing separation, and he didn’t know how to deal with it.

The naive Emperor Snake Beastman felt as if a heavy stone was pressing on his heart, making him extremely uncomfortable.

He rose, preparing to leave.

Just then, he heard a call from behind him.

"Wang."

The cold-blooded snake Beastman’s blood seemed to freeze for an instant; he forgot to move.

Then, he felt the little female behind him embrace his waist.

Feeling her soft body, the snake Beastman slowly closed his eyes.

I can’t let her see only my back, he resolved.

He turned to face Si Yan and gently cupped her face.

His long, well-defined fingers brushed lightly across her tender cheeks.

"Si Yan."

Si Yan’s beautiful eyes focused on him intently.

"Wang, you’re leaving, aren’t you?"
