Chapter 146: Chapter 146: What on Earth Happened on This Mountain?

’Besides, if the original host’s purpose in coming to Wilderness Mountain was for Moo Moo and to secretly give birth, then that goal has now been achieved.’

’There’s not much point in lingering here any longer.’

After dripping a drop of Vitality Water on Jie Ying’s wound, Shen Yue began using a silver needle to force the poison out of her body.

She worked on every acupoint, from her arms down to her legs.

She didn’t let out a breath of relief until poisonous blood began to seep, drop by drop, from Jie Ying’s ten fingertips.

Time ticked by. Seeing the seeping blood slowly return to its normal color, she finally began to carefully remove the needles.

Just then, Jie Ying, who had been in a deep coma, started to talk in her sleep.

"Bai Chaosi... I like you..."

"You can only be my Beast Husband... you’re mine..."

Shen Yue’s hands paused, and she lifted her eyes to look at the woman on the bed.

"Why... why does *that woman* get to be your Female Master... What right does she have..."

She mumbled in her sleep, her face contorted with anger.

Shen Yue raised an eyebrow. She looked at the silver needle she had just removed, then impassively plunged it back into a certain acupoint.

The force of her hand was noticeably heavier this time.

Instantly, the woman fell silent.

It was as if she had fallen into a deathlike sleep.

Shen Yue’s expression remained unchanged, as if she hadn’t seen a thing, and she continued with her work.

Only after removing the last silver needle did she get up and walk outside.

After an hour, her back ached from bending over. She was also dizzy and her vision was blurry from lack of sleep.

’Speaking of which, I wonder if the little ones are awake yet.’

The moment she opened the door, she found Bai Chaosi and two of his subordinates standing right outside.

Seeing her emerge, Bai Chaosi’s gentle, handsome face showed a hint of concern. He was about to speak,

but A Qi, standing beside him, anxiously beat him to it:

"Miss Shen Yue, how is Miss Jie Ying?"

Her expression was neutral.

"Don’t worry, she’ll be fine."

"I’ve forced the poison out. You can go in and see her now."

With that, Shen Yue prepared to head back to her own room.

Bai Chaosi watched her walk past him, her expression serene, not even sparing him a glance. His throat tightened.

"Shen Yue, wait a moment."

Shen Yue stopped and looked at him. "Is there something?"

Bai Chaosi was a little hurt by her sudden indifference, but he still managed to say:

"Thank you. You’ve worked hard."

Shen Yue frowned.

’You’ve worked hard?’

’In what capacity is he thanking me on that woman’s behalf?’

’I can’t be bothered to think about it.’

She turned and walked into her room, only to find the rest of the grown men inside, trying to coax the children.

"Er Bao wants female mother to sleep with me, not you!"

Mu Silin squatted on the floor. "Be good, Er Bao. Your female mother is treating someone. She’ll be back soon. Father can hold you while you sleep, too."

"No! I don’t want you to hold me."

Gu Fangqi was also standing by the bed. "Si Bao, are you still sleepy? If not, Father can take you out to play. You don’t have to keep waiting for your female mother."

"No! Si Bao can go play in the courtyard by myself. I don’t need you to take me."

Gu Fangqi was speechless.

Ye Lüqi said, "Dabao, come, let Father change your clothes."

"No, Dabao will wear this."

Just then, Lan Cangyue looked at Xi Xi.

"Xi Xi, do you want to get up to wash and use the toilet? Father can go with you."

Xi Xi shook her head. "I want female mother to go with me. You’re a boy, so you can’t."

Lan Cangyue was speechless.

Meanwhile, Sanbao, standing on the bed, and Huang Ziyue were just staring at each other, wide-eyed.

Not a word was spoken; they just kept looking at one another.

They were the quietest father and son of the bunch.

Watching this scene, Shen Yue suddenly felt that these men were quite proactive, and it created a real family atmosphere.

Although the little ones were verbally rejecting them, she could tell they were slowly getting used to the presence of Mu Silin and the others.

At this moment, compared to the other five little ones, Liu Bao and Wubao, who had no Father watching over them in the corner, looked particularly downcast.

This was especially true for Wubao. Lately, whenever Mu Silin and the others were doting on Er Bao and the other little ones, Wubao was left to play all by himself.

After all, out of the seven little ones, six of their fathers had shown up. Only Wubao still didn’t know who his Father was, so it was natural for him to feel a little left out.

Shen Yue couldn’t help but wonder, ’What kind of person is Wubao’s Father?’

...

「Two months had passed since Si Muye’s departure.」

After settling matters in the Royal City, he and his men had traveled day and night, rushing all the way back to Wilderness Mountain.

Just as they reached the foot of Wilderness Mountain, they ran into a group of Gray Wolf Beastmen fleeing from the mountain like madmen.

He immediately sensed that something was wrong and led his men charging into the mountains.

But along the way, as they passed several Beastman Tribes, all they saw were the mangled limbs and torsos of Beastmen—a horrifying sight.

The warriors from the Ancient Bear Family following him were also stunned by the scene:

"Third Young Master, it looks like these tribes were attacked by something."

"Looking at these remains, it doesn’t seem like the work of a person. It’s as if they were devoured by some kind of wild beast!"

"But even the males with the lowest spiritual power on Wilderness Mountain should be more than capable of handling beasts that have no spiritual power. What could have possibly devoured so many people?"

Listening to them, Si Muye couldn’t help but worry.

He raised his gaze to the sprawling mountains. A Yue lived in these mountains. ’Could something have happened to her?’

When he returned to Barbaric City this time, he had assumed that A Yue would have already been invited by the Barbaric City Lord, Gremu, to live in the city. To his surprise, Gremu hadn’t fulfilled his promise at all.

Not only that, but what he found strangest was that when he went to visit the City Lord Mansion, Gremu had refused all visitors.

At this thought, he didn’t dare to delay, leading his men to pick up their pace as they hurried into the mountains.

He had to see her at once.

The sky was already growing dark. By the time Si Muye and his group passed the foot of another mountain, they heard cries and screams coming from the Beastman Tribe within.

"Help!"

"Help! Is anyone there? Save my child!"

Si Muye and his guards came to an abrupt halt.

Just then, a female Gray Wolf Beastman ran out frantically, clutching her child...

The screams from within the tribe grew louder and louder.

Si Muye was just about to go down and ask what was happening,

but then he saw a bizarre creature—a monster with the body of a beast and the face of a lizard—charge out of the woods, pouncing toward the female...

The female screamed in despair:

"Get away! Help! Help!"

The child beside her was so frightened it began to wail.

Horrified, Si Muye instantly appeared on the scene.

Just as its black claws and fangs were about to sink into the female, he threw a punch.

The Lizardman was sent flying, but its hide was so thick that it seemed to feel no pain, and it got right back up.

At that moment, the nearby bushes began to tremble with a RUSTLING sound. Clearly, a whole group of them was rapidly approaching.

The other warriors all appeared as well, taking positions behind Si Muye and warily scanning their surroundings.

Seeing the monster get back up after taking a punch like that, everyone was horrified:

"Third Young Master, what is that thing?"

"Is it from the Lizard Beast Clan?"

"This is just too terrifying!"

A look of disbelief also crossed Si Muye’s handsome face.

He had never seen such a disgusting Beastman before.

To be more precise, it didn’t look like a person, nor did it look like a lizard.

The female Gray Wolf, realizing she was still alive, was terrified and immediately scooped up her child to run.

But Si Muye grabbed her.

"Why are you running? What in the world happened on this mountain? What are these things?"

The female’s face was white with fear as she cried:

"I don’t know! I don’t know! They’re monsters! Man-eating monsters! They eat anyone they see! The entire Beast Clan on Wilderness Mountain is about to be devoured by them..."

"They’re everywhere, and you can’t kill them... My mate... my mate was eaten by them..."

The female was clearly terrified, sobbing and shaking her head so hard she could barely speak coherently.

Just then, the sounds from the surroundings grew closer, and her expression changed drastically in fear.

"They’re coming! They’re coming again..."

With that, the female immediately broke free from Si Muye’s grasp, clutched her child, and ran for her life.

At that exact moment, countless Lizardmen burst out from the dark forest.

Si Muye was stunned.

"Stay on your guard!"

The warriors gathered their spiritual power. "Yes, sir!"

The next second, the Lizardmen madly lunged toward Si Muye and his men.
