CHAPTER 420: CHAPTER 411 SEVERING MOTHER-DAUGHTER RELATIONSHIP_1

Asking her to sever ties with her own six cubs? Han Shuang froze for a moment.

"How could this be possible? They are my children after all!"

Five sons, each one outstanding. Even Si Yan, although I’m not very fond of her, is passably acceptable. Jin Yao is already gone; now I can only count on these six children. I’m not foolish.

"This won’t do! Choose another condition!" Han Shuang urged in desperation. She was about to lose her grip, her hand slipping.

Ming Jiu lowered his gaze. "Alright then. As long as you sever ties with Si Yan, I will save you."

"I agree!" Han Shuang said without hesitation. "I agree! Save me quickly! I can’t hold on much longer!"

The man’s eyes quickly cooled. His voice carried an oppressive weight as he repeated, "Han Shuang, are you sure you agree to sever the mother-daughter relationship with Si Yan?"

Han Shuang cried out in terror, "I’m sure! Si Yan doesn’t like me at all; she doesn’t care about me one bit! She doesn’t even want to acknowledge me. I can sever ties with her; it won’t affect me at all!"

The man’s intimidating gaze remained fixed on her for a moment.

Han Shuang’s heart pounded. I’ve agreed; he wouldn’t go back on his word to save me, would he? If he insisted that I sever ties with all six cubs before saving me... I could still agree...

"Very well."

There was no longer any warmth on the man’s handsome face. His icy eyes even held a hint of mockery and scorn.

His beautiful, distinctly jointed hand flipped slightly in the air.

Han Shuang felt a chill seep into her spirit, as if something very important was slipping away.

The man looked at his hand—the very hand that had completely severed the bond between the female before him and Si Yan.

In the rules of the Beast World, males were subordinate to females. This meant that the moment the bond between Han Shuang and Si Yan was severed, the connection between Jin Hong and Si Yan also became as thin as paper.

He waved his hand, casually severing the father-daughter relationship between Jin Hong and Si Yan as well.

He raised his hand, and before Han Shuang could even see how he moved, he had brought her back to the cliff’s edge.

Han Shuang coughed violently. "Don’t leave! Who are you, and why are you threatening me to cut ties with my female cub? I’m telling you, Si Yan and I share a blood bond! You can’t sever it!"

Ming Jiu looked at Han Shuang coldly.

When I suggested severing ties with all six cubs, this female rejected the idea without a second thought, simply because the five male cubs were all useful. But when only Si Yan was mentioned, she agreed almost immediately. Tsk. So this is this female’s maternal love. Only for utility; to be kicked away when useless. Truly unfit to be my sister’s mother.

Ming Jiu turned his gaze, and Han Shuang saw his striking golden eyes.

For some reason, fear gripped her, and she took two steps back.

"Your fragile connection with Little Yan has been completely severed."

Han Shuang’s eyes widened abruptly. "What are you saying? Who... who are you?"

Ming Jiu stated coolly, "I am Si Yan’s brother."

Han Shuang said frantically, "Since when did Si Yan have a brother like you? If you’re Si Yan’s brother, why didn’t you save me? Ming Ji, I warn you, you and Si Yan aren’t blood-related; she and I are! Our relationship can’t be severed by just a few words from you!"

"Si Yan is my cub! Don’t you dare try to sow discord between us!"

Even if I don’t like Si Yan, she’s still the Dragon Princess, and her powers are stronger than all five of my sons combined. Han Shuang truly did not want to give up Si Yan.

Ming Jiu turned away, his gold-edged robe swirling.

This female no longer had any connection to Si Yan. Now, he couldn’t even be bothered to offer her a false smile.

I need to investigate the cause of the damage to the Dragon Veins of the Golden Dragon Tribe and repair them quickly.

...

Upon arriving at Myriad Beasts City with the cubs, Si Yan stopped in her tracks, staggering slightly.

Tai Seng supported her worriedly. "Si Yan!"

Si Yan said, "I’m fine."

It felt as though some connection had been severed.

She looked at her palm, puzzled.

A kinship bond? The connections with Jin Ting, Jin Qian, Jin Kun, Jin Yang, and Jin Tong are all still there. Was it Han Shuang and Jin Hong?!

Si Yan felt a slight chill in her emotions, followed by an immense sense of relief.

Han Shuang proactively severed their ill-fated bond; I feel very good about this. My body even feels warm, as if some of my fortune has returned.

"Little Sister!" A tall male waved at her from a distance.

Si Yan looked up, her face suddenly lighting up with joy. She raised her hands and called out, "Brother!"

The cubs also chirped, "Uncle Five!"

Jin Tong leaped in front of her, smiled, and patted the four little ones on their heads. "Why have you come to Myriad Beasts City?" he asked.

Two little dragons took the opportunity to peek out from Si Yan’s lush black hair. "HISS. HISS." "HISS. HISS CHIRP!"

Jin Tong stared at the two cubs in astonishment. "Little Sister!!! Are these... the eggs?! Have your two Dragon Eggs hatched?!"

Si Yan nodded. "Yes. Little Purple, Little Gold, ask Uncle Five for a welcome gift."

The two little dragons looked at Si Yan, then at Jin Tong.

They understood in an instant!

It’s time for gifts! We can ask for gifts!

The two little dragons immediately clung to Jin Tong, chattering excitedly.

Jin Tong frantically patted himself down. "I rushed out and didn’t have time to prepare a welcome gift for you."

With that, he plucked two Dragon Scales from his body and gave them to the little dragons. Wiping his brow, he said apologetically, "Play with these for now. Next time, Uncle will prepare proper gifts for you!"

Jin Tong had chosen two of the toughest and most useful scales from his body, and the two little dragons clutched their Dragon Scales, treasuring them immensely.

Jin Tong breathed a sigh of relief, having navigated this ordeal.

Thank goodness the cubs are easy to please, but I can’t give such a meager welcome gift next time. Still, I gave them Dragon Scales this time. When my four older brothers meet the cubs, they can’t very well give Dragon Scales too, can they?

Jin Tong chuckled, imagining Jin Ting and the others flustered and scrambling for welcome gifts when they met the cubs.

Si Yan watched Jin Tong, a rare sight to see him so flustered, and her eyes curved into crescents as she smiled.

Si Yan asked, "Brother, what’s the situation in Myriad Beasts City now?"

Jin Tong’s expression turned serious. "I don’t know what happened, but suddenly there was rain and an earthquake. A large section of the mountain behind Myriad Beasts City collapsed, burying countless beastmen.

"The Beastmen of Myriad Beasts City have already started searching everywhere for those buried.

"But now there’s a torrential downpour, and the rainwater is surging back. The rain and mud have masked any scent, so we can’t locate the buried Beastmen. It’s very difficult to conduct a rescue."

Si Yan said, "I know where they are. I’ll go rescue them first. Jin Tong, you go back to Myriad Beasts City and rally people."

Jin Tong replied, "Alright."

Jin Tong turned and hurried back to Myriad Beasts City to gather reinforcements, while Si Yan and her group were the first to arrive at the burial site.

"This is the place," Si Yan stated.

The landslide had buried many Beastmen, but there was an underground cavern here where some had fortunately taken refuge.

The Priest whose prayers I heard should be down here with the survivors.
