Chapter 225: Group Return to Earth (Part 1)

Nan Zishi’s ascension to the throne of the East went quite smoothly.

On the day of her coronation, the City Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts City came to offer his congratulations, as did the High Priest. Lords from all over the Beast World came to congratulate her.

When Lu Yu teased Long Yi about it, Long Yi said, “The Beast God’s female wants to be empress, so let her. Forget the East—if she wanted the whole Beast World, that’d be fine too. Even if she wanted to be the Beast God, would you really stop her?”

After a grand and lively celebration, Nan Zishi and her Eastern Empire were firmly established in the Beast World.

…

That evening, a bonfire was lit.

The whole family—Nan Zishi, her seven cubs, and her seven Beast Husbands—gathered around the bonfire for dinner.

Lu Yu picked up a piece of carrot with his chopsticks and gave it to Nan Zishi.

Carrots were his and Lu Ming’s favorite food, so Lu Yu was always eager to feed them to Nan Zishi.

As it happened, Nan Zishi loved carrots too.

Munching on the carrot, Nan Zishi said to Lu Yu, “Ah Yu, I’d like to go home for a visit in a little while.”

Hu Bai looked up and asked, “Which home?”

“The one on Earth,” Nan Zishi said.

Her Beast Husbands all looked up.

Nan Zishi said, “Don’t be nervous. I already asked Lu Yu. He said he can take all of us this time.”

Lu Yu’s lips curved into a smile. “That’s right. I can take everyone over together.”

Chi Xiao was stunned. His eyes lit up, and he stood up in anticipation. “Wait, are you saying I can meet your parents?”

Xuan Jin said, “Not just you. We can all meet them.”

A sliver of joy bloomed in Hu Bai’s heart.

‘Having a Beast God in the family is actually pretty nice,’ he thought.

‘At least now, we can all go meet her parents together.’

‘The little female won’t have to worry about being separated from her parents across worlds anymore.’

The cubs were even more excited. “Brother Huo Jun, we can go to Earth again!”

“Second Brother Lu Ming! We can see Grandpa, Grandma, and Uncle!”

“CHIRP~”

“We can go to the amusement park again, and drink milk tea, and eat ice cream and hamburgers! And play with lots of fun stuff!!”

The men also grew boisterous. “Since this will be our first time meeting her parents, what should we prepare?”

“The Beast Skin we prepared last time wasn’t big enough!”

“The beast bones weren’t big enough either!”

“Yeah, and the Beast Teeth were too small!”

Nan Zishi’s heart leaped into her throat. Deciding she couldn’t hide it any longer, she said awkwardly, “No need, no need. Really. Where I’m from, you can’t use things like beast bones or Beast Skins.”

The men asked, “Why?”

Nan Zishi said, “Where I’m from, these predators are all very rare and precious animals. You’re not allowed to hunt them.”

“You can’t hunt wild beasts?” Wolf Ye was astonished.

Nan Zishi nodded. “That’s right. Where I’m from, hunting wild beasts is what gets you sent to the mines.”

Xuan Jin muttered, “How strange. If you can’t hunt wild beasts, what do you eat?”

Nan Zishi said, “Humans raise their own livestock, then eat them after they’ve grown up.”

All the men exchanged a look and glanced at Little Lao Liu, the domestic wolf in the distance who was practically a dog.

Goosebumps broke out on Little Lao Liu. It scampered over to Nan Zishi on its short legs and nuzzled against her.

Nan Zishi picked up the little wolf-dog.

The men all began to ponder this.

Xuan Jin stroked his chin thoughtfully. “Then should we bring them a live beast? Do your parents like live beasts? I could catch a live tiger and give it to them.”

Nan Zishi’s nerves tensed in fright. “…Xuan Jin, please stop with the wild imagination.”

Helpless, Nan Zishi smiled at everyone. “You don’t need to bring anything. Just having you all come meet my parents is enough.”

“How could we do that?” Hu Bai shook his head. “That wouldn’t be proper.”

The men chimed in, “Exactly. What if your parents don’t like us because we show up without gifts?”

“If they don’t like me… that would be a disaster.”

“Right, we absolutely have to prepare gifts.”

Nan Zishi pressed a hand to her forehead. “There’s no way they won’t like you.”

The men shook their heads earnestly. “No.”

Seeing her husbands so insistent, Nan Zishi said helplessly, “Alright, how about this? My parents like pretty, shiny things. Lanxing, my parents would love pearls, shells, and coral from the bottom of the sea. Just grab some of those.”

Lanxing’s eyes lit up. “That’s easy!”

The other men looked at Lanxing with envy. His gift was sorted out, but theirs were not.

Nan Zishi took out a raw diamond, a cut piece of jadeite, and a nugget of natural gold. “My parents also like these two types of stones and this metal. It’s the same stuff you gave me last time.”

“Just find some diamonds, jadeite, and gold. Then we can bring those to my parents as gifts.”

The six men stood up at once.

“We’ll go look right now!”

…

Nan Zishi removed some of the more… legally dubious items from her storage space.

Then she stuffed all the pearls and coral, along with the mountains of diamonds, jadeite, and gold, into her storage space.

‘I’m rich!!’

‘So freaking rich!!!’

In the Beast World, the beastmen just thought diamonds were sparkly, gold was just a rock, and jadeite was kind of pretty.

These things weren’t worth much in the Beast World.

But on Earth…

Nan Zishi’s heart pounded with excitement.

Hu Bai asked, a little uneasily, “Will your parents really be happy with just these?”

‘There are plenty of these stones in the Beast World. They’re shiny, but I can’t see what use they have.’

As Eight-striped Beast Kings, it wasn’t hard for them to find such stones, and they quickly gathered a huge pile for Nan Zishi.

‘Will her parents really like this stuff?’

“They’ll absolutely love them, don’t worry,” Nan Zishi said with utter certainty.

The last time she crossed over, she hadn’t been prepared, so the cubs appeared on Earth wearing Beast Skin Skirts and were almost exposed.

This time, the whole family was going back together, so Nan Zishi took out all the clothes she had prepared for everyone in her storage space.

Seven black and white suits, all in the perfect sizes, made the seven men look exceptionally sharp and dashing.

Every single one of them looked like a high-powered CEO or a top-tier celebrity.

Seven sets of adorable children’s outfits, which suited them all perfectly, each with its own cute charm.

They looked soft, cuddly, and super cute.

Little Fu was even put in a long, flowing skirt that completely hid her tail.

Nan Zishi also dressed the now-lively little wolf in a red puppy outfit, put a collar on it, and had Fox Qi hold its leash.

She also changed into a beautiful, modern dress herself.

“Is everyone ready?” Nan Zishi asked.

Her Beast Husbands all nodded. The cubs shouted excitedly, “Ready!”

Lu Yu curled his long hair over his shoulder, raised his hand, and said, “Let’s go.”

A flash of light, and the entire family vanished in an instant.

…

「On a bustling street in Hua Country, Earth.」

Seven handsome men, seven adorable kids, the beautiful Nan Zishi, and a small wolf all appeared at once.

The appearance of such a stunningly good-looking group immediately triggered screams from the girls nearby.

“WOW!!!! Look over there! A group of male models! They’re so handsome!!!”
