A Charming Beauty in the Beast World: A Delicate and Beautiful Woman with Many Children and Abundant

Chapter 368 Recognizing her as the progenitor

Ying Hua hadn't expected this to happen.

He thought the fox clan had used some underhanded tactics.

I never expected that Taihao would be involved.

He glanced at the people below.

"Tell me in detail what you know."

The boys glanced at the rod used to intimidate them, steeled their resolve, and dared not lie any longer, obediently vomiting everything up.

……

Shao Yi rubbed her temples, looking tired.

The old doctor handed over a cup of tea.

"My lord, please relax and get some rest."

Winter is approaching, and we need to buy and replenish all sorts of things, such as animal hides, charcoal, wine, and food.

There are so many things to do, plus taking care of the baby, it's impossible not to be tired.

He glanced at the sky outside and gave instructions to his men.

"Please invite Lord Yinghua over here."

He needed to confirm the winter allowance for the Dijiang clan.

The little slave responded and hurried off.

But before even an incense stick had burned, he ran back.

"My lord, the clan leader is resting at Lord Ying Hua's place."

"Then so be it, there's no rush."

Shaoyi put down the bamboo slips and prepared to go check on the cubs.

The young slave stepped forward and helped him up.

"It's strange. When I went there, the master wasn't there. The cleaning staff said that the master suddenly returned to Yanshan. Could it be that he had a fight with the clan leader?"

"quarrel?"

Shao Yi remained noncommittal.

Ying Hua is a steady and reliable person; he is not like that.

"Even Lord Yingming has left, and all the members of the Dijiang clan have left. My lord, could something really have happened?"

Shao Yi frowned: "Even the people of the Dijiang clan have left?"

The little slave nodded.

"When I passed by the cubs' courtyard, I heard the cubs crying incessantly, and the wet nurses couldn't soothe them at all. If something hadn't happened, how could Lord Yinghua have abandoned the cubs and left like that?"

You should know that Lord Yinghua cherishes his cubs the most.

Returning to Yanshan in the middle of the night and taking everyone with you, what else could it be but an argument?

Shaoyi also sensed that something was wrong.

"Have someone go to Yanshan in person and ask what's going on."

"Yes, my lord."

This is no small matter.

The little slave thought to himself, "Lady Qiyue has just given birth to a cub, and the clan leader has been staying in Lady Qiyue's courtyard. Could it be that Lord Yinghua is jealous because of this?"

Think about it too.

As for the others, it's one thing, but Lord Ying Hua was born into a noble clan and has such a noble status, he certainly wouldn't stoop to such a lowly position.

He couldn't help but worry about the clan chief.

Lord Yinghua helps the clan leader with farming and animal husbandry. If things really get out of hand and Lord Yinghua washes his hands of it, the clan leader will have a real headache.

He must bring the adults back.

......

Here.

Shaoyi had someone personally bring Yinghua's cub over.

The little ones are at the age where they recognize people. Usually, their fathers lull them to sleep, but once they're away from their fathers, no one can soothe them, and they cry until their voices are hoarse.

Shao Yi was heartbroken.

The baby cubs vomited up all the egg custard they were fed, and their faces turned red from crying. They wouldn't let anyone hold them.

"Why haven't you come back yet?"

Shaoyi paced back and forth in the yard, holding the cub, but there was still no news despite several attempts to contact her.

The old doctor was also anxious.

"Or, shall we invite the clan leader over?"

"Forget it, what good is she besides causing trouble?"

The old doctor shut up.

The adults are spoiling the clan leader too much.

"They're back! They're back, sir! They're back!"

When the old doctor saw the little slave circling in the sky and landing, he quickly stepped forward.

"Why have you been gone for so long? Where is Lord Yinghua? Hasn't he returned yet?"

The little slave transformed into human form, knelt on the ground, and his face was deathly pale.

"My lord, something terrible has happened! This is truly a disaster!"

What a big deal!

......

The calming incense has gone out.

Mu Yunyun got out of bed, feeling refreshed and invigorated.

"Chieftain..."

Bai Sang'er walked over and spoke softly.

"Lord Shaoyi requests your presence."

past?

It's only noon, what could be the matter?

Mu Yunyun was suspicious, but she still lifted the animal skin and got up. Bai Sang'er naturally took the feather skirt and served her.

"Hey, what happened to your hand?"

Bai Sang'er immediately covered the bruises on her wrists with her feather skirt.

Emperor Jiang's interrogation was far from polite.

If it weren't for Ying Ming pleading on her behalf, she wouldn't have come back to serve him.

"It's nothing, I just bumped into something. Clan leader, you should hurry up and not keep Lady Shaoyi waiting."

"You look terrible, like someone's going to eat you up. What happened?"

Bai Sang'er's lips moved slightly: "The clan leader will know when he gets there. It wouldn't be good if Lord Shaoyi got impatient."

Seeing that she looked uncomfortable, Mu Yunyun became even more suspicious.

What could Shaoyi possibly want from her?

It's nothing more than buying and tailoring clothes for winter.

However, it is said that Shao Yi's rule is based on both kindness and severity, and most of the family members are afraid of him and do not usually linger in front of him.

With this in mind, Mu Yunyun understood.

"Why are you afraid of him? He may seem fierce on the surface, but he has the softest heart. I'm never afraid of him."

Bai Sang'er remained silent, only bowing her head to serve.

Mu Yunyun didn't want to make fun of her.

"Never mind, you can just wait outside. You don't need to come in and serve me."

Bai Sang'er breathed a sigh of relief: "Thank you, Clan Chief."

"Look at you, so useless."

Mu Yunyun swaggered off.

I'm really hungry, so it's perfect to have a meal there.

She was feeling quite pleased with herself, but she froze for a moment as soon as she entered the courtyard.

"Why are you all here?"

In the main hall.

Mu Bai and the others actually arrived.

"Come here now!"

Shaoyi gave a stern rebuke.

He sat upright in the main seat, his eyes as deep as an abyss. When he spoke, Mu Yunyun was startled and her heart trembled.

She cautiously approached and said, "What's wrong? You scared me to death. There are so many people here, and you didn't even give me any face."

Beside her, Ying Ze desperately tried to wink at her.

Mu Yunyun looked completely bewildered: "Ying Ze, is your face twitching?"

Upon hearing this, Ying Ze nearly choked on his breath and was so angry he almost died.

Do you understand that disaster is imminent?

He wanted her to behave herself and stop being so cheeky.

"Itchy skin?"

Shao Yi was furious whenever she saw her.

Mu Yunyun was already afraid of him, and seeing his stern and fierce expression made her even more afraid.

She glanced at Mu Bai pleadingly.

Mu Bai lowered his head and acted like a quail, pretending not to see.

Outside, Bai Sang'er saw that she had become so timid, a far cry from her arrogant demeanor just moments before.

She quietly withdrew, deciding to stay far away.

Shao Yi took a deep breath, too lazy to look at her: "Go, bring the person up."

people?

Who?

Mu Yunyun turned around.

The young slave guarding the cave was dragged in.

Her scalp tingled instantly.

Seeing her like this, Shao Yi was immediately furious: "Do you want me to ask you about all the bastard things you've done, or do you want to confess honestly?"

"How can I not!"

"Then let me ask you, what's going on between you and Taihao?"

"It's just...it's just..." Mu Yunyun steeled her heart and went all out: "It's just that we accidentally formed a contract..."

"you!"

Shao Yi was furious and grabbed a duster from the tea table to hit her.

That duster was used by the young slaves to clean up accumulated dust.

A long bamboo stick with a feather duster attached to one end—convenient and easy to use.

Mu Yunyun was terrified.

She's really a coward.

She had been beaten by Wan Xuanshan many times, and was inherently afraid of him. When she saw him about to hit her with that small bamboo stick, she instinctively wanted to dodge.

"How dare you hide!"

Shaoyi wanted to beat her to death.

If word gets out that a contract has been formed before any formal ceremony, whose reputation will be ruined?

Hasn't Qi Shi suffered enough injustice?

Over the years, even when I came to Yuanzhou, there were always people who gossiped about me.

I thought she had learned her lesson, but I didn't expect her to still be so reckless!

Shao Yi was determined to beat her up.

Mu Yunyun just wanted to hide.

She glanced at Ye Yu pleadingly.

Ye Yu pretended to drink tea and ignored her.

Mu Yunyun: "!!!!!"

She glanced at Di Xi again.

Di Xi glared at her, eager for her to teach him a lesson.

Having no other choice, Mu Yunyun quickly hid behind Ying Hua.

"Let me explain!" she said to Shao Yi, her eyes fixed on the stick he was swinging at her.

Yinghua wanted to find her.

What are you hiding from?

Are you afraid now?

But he was the most soft-hearted person and the one who spoiled her the most.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have kept it a secret from Shaoyi and cleaned up her mess.

In this situation, the two younger ones couldn't be relied on, and Ye Yu and Mu Bai couldn't speak up, so he was the only one who could persuade them.

He shielded her behind him and spoke gently:

"Please calm down, sir, and don't take it to heart."

"You're still spoiling her! If you don't teach her a lesson today, she'll become lawless and dare to sleep with anyone!"

Shaoyi glared at her.

"come out!"

"I do not!"

Mu Yunyun peeked out from behind Ying Hua, looking incredibly timid.

"I'm truly innocent! I was just drunk, and then Tai Lin... I just couldn't help myself..."

"What did you say!" Di Xi was startled: "The person you swore an oath with is Lord Tai Lin!"

Ying Ze was also frightened.

The fox clan's explanation was vague, only saying that they had formed a pact with Taihao. He assumed it was Taiheng, since the two had a close relationship, which made sense.

He never expected it to be Tai Lin...

Mu Yunyun wanted to crawl into a crack in the ground.

"I got drunk and slept with someone without really understanding what was going on. I felt guilty and wanted to make it up to her, but she wouldn't agree, so... so I went back to the sacred mountain!"

Emperor Xi was furious when he heard this.

"What a clever tactic of feigning indifference!"

No wonder she went to the sacred mountain!

The tiger, eagle, and rabbit clans were vying for control of the sacred mountain, but little did they know that she had been bewitched by that vixen and wanted to go find him!

"No!!"

How could this be feigning indifference?

Mu Yunyun looked confident.

"That day, I was supposed to go to pay my respects, but Tai Lin... he..."

"What about him?" Shaoyi asked.

Mu Yunyun didn't know how to say it: "He seemed like a different person. He was sarcastic and mocking towards me, implying that I was delusional. So I was too embarrassed to mention the matter of the gift again."

It's not that she's irresponsible.

He didn't want her to take responsibility for him.

Several people looked at each other.

I have absolutely no idea what's going on.

Yinghua took her hand and pulled her down to sit.

"Don't rush, tell me slowly, what exactly happened between you two?"

The Emperor Jiang's interrogation was absolutely correct.

She hasn't drunk any alcohol during this time, let alone been in the same place as Tai Lin, though Tai Heng might be a possibility.

Seeing that they were pressing her for answers, Mu Yunyun couldn't keep it a secret any longer.

"By chance, I stumbled into Lord Tai Lin's spiritual realm, where he regarded me as his ancestor."

'Snapped--'

The teacup shattered with a crack.

Mu Bai looked terrified, not even realizing he had been scalded by the boiling tea.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible!"

How could she be regarded as the progenitor? She was clearly the progenitor...

Upon seeing Mu Bai's expression, Shao Yi's face instantly turned serious.

Mu Yunyun didn't notice Mu Bai's expression, but she knew they didn't believe her. Nevertheless, she continued to speak honestly.

"In the Spirit Realm, I saw that his Qi Sea was damaged, and he was truly pitiful. So, in the name of the Ancestor, I refined the Teng Yuan Pill for him to recuperate. He was grateful to me and invited me to drink. Afterward, he took the initiative to make love to me, and I couldn't resist, so..."

"What a convenient excuse for not being able to control yourself!" Di Xi gritted his teeth in anger. "You were bewitched by that vixen, of course you couldn't control yourself!"

Mu Yunyun shut up.

She shouldn't have said it.

Ying Hua never expected that the Tengyuan Pill she saw in Fenglin was actually for Lord Tailin.

It turns out that back then, he and she were already...

"You mean, you went to Taihao's spiritual realm by chance?"

"You know about the Spirit Realm too?"

Ying Hua nodded.

"Legend has it that the ancestors of the Taihao clan possessed a sacred realm, which was bestowed upon them by their progenitor."

more importantly.

That spiritual realm, formed at the beginning of all things, dispels all illusions.

The appearance maintained by the Rejuvenating Elixir will inevitably reveal its true form...

Ying Hua's gaze fell on Mu Bai.

Mu Bai's face turned deathly pale.

He and Shaoyi exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing an unspoken understanding.

Shaoyi pulled her ear.

"Look at the good things you did!"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts, it hurts!"

Mu Yunyun immediately begged for mercy.

"I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong."

Yinghua felt a pang of sympathy and quickly separated the people.

"It's no use blaming her now that things have come to this. Since that person has gone to the sacred mountain, there's no need to tell the cub."

They're trying to keep this a secret.

Seeing his stance, Shaoyi didn't want to cause any more trouble.

"In that case, once the cub is born, we'll find a fox clan to raise it. We'll tell everyone that the cub's biological father has passed away, and I don't think anyone will ask any questions."

"Alright."

Yinghua wanted to rub her little ears for her.

Mu Yunyun glanced at Shao Yi, not daring to let him touch her.

Shaoyi was too lazy to pay attention to her.

"Go away, go away, don't get in my way."

Mu Yunyun didn't leave.

When Shao Yi gets angry, she ignores everyone. She's afraid, so she has to appease her first.

"What, you want to get beaten up again?"

Shaoyi gripped the bamboo duster, making a gesture as if to strike.

Mu Yunyun immediately slipped away.

It's better to wait until he calms down before trying to appease him.

Wait for someone to leave.

Shaoyi sat back down in the main seat.

He summoned the little slave.

"Go and collect the broken teacup belonging to Lord Mubai."

The little slave responded and prepared to clean up the pottery shards on the ground.

Mu Bai came to her senses and realized that she had lost her composure.

"I was too excited just now and made a mistake, causing trouble for you, sir."

"It's alright." Shao Yi and Ying Hua exchanged a glance, and seeing that the little slave had finished tidying up and left, they then spoke: "Did you already know about the Rejuvenating Pill on Yunyun's body?"

"What Youthful Appearance Pill? What are you talking about, sir? I don't understand."

Mu Bai tried his best to remain calm, but being a timid person by nature, he tensed up completely.

Shaoyi said, "She dotes on Ji'er the most and visits your courtyard quite often, but you always refuse to be with her, citing illness as the reason... Is that true?"

"I really don't understand what you're saying, sir." Mu Bai lowered her head. "I am indeed feeling unwell, as you know. Once she starts causing trouble, it never ends. I'm just scared, not..."
