In the Beast World Continent, Beastmen weren’t particularly obsessed with chastity. It was only because of the Beast Mark that some males were forced to be loyal to a single female.
However, as the wives of the Beast King of Guanping Beast Country, they were allowed to have other males, but those males had to possess a Beast Mark and be approved by the Beast King. After all, they represented the face of the Royal Family.
"First Madam, which one of your Beast Husbands is that in your den? You’re being so fierce, it’s probably some wild male without a Beast Mark, isn’t it?"
"You’re no fun like this. The Beast King already lets you all find your own pleasure. You could have at least gone somewhere farther away to carry on with this ridiculous affair. Why do it right here in the palace? Couldn’t you wait?"
Another Beastman whispered indignantly, "The Beast King has been deceived. He’s completely blind to how brutal the Eldest Prince and Second Prince truly are.
Anyone who crosses them faces the annihilation of their entire clan, having their cultivation crippled and being forced into servitude, or being sent to the mines... Sooner or later, Guanping Country will be ruined by these troublesome brats..."
Everyone looked around in surprise. Which Warrior was brave enough to voice what they were all thinking?
The First Madam also followed the sound with her gaze, but everyone’s mouths were shut tight. However, a continuous, throaty chuckle could be heard, as if the speaker was pleased that no one could find him.
The crowd’s gazes shifted downwards, but they still couldn’t figure it out.
Si Shuo blinked. ’It must be someone using ventriloquism, right?’
"Oh my, are the Eldest Prince and Second Prince really that wicked? If they found out their Mother was replaced by me as the new First Madam, would they go berserk, cripple me, and send me to the mines too?" Si Shuo feigned fear and leaned against Bai Xiao, Xiao Cheng, Witch Doctor.
Wei Ce sneered. "If they even think about it, I’ll give them an eye for an eye and let them have a taste of being crippled and sent to the mines!"
The First Madam glared over angrily. Seeing he was a Peak Sixteen level Peak male, she trembled with rage. "The Beast King has always been one to love the new and discard the old when it comes to females. Who knows how many females have come and gone from this palace.
I am the Mother of the Eldest Prince, the Second Prince, and the Second Princess. No matter which female leaves this palace, I will not be one of them.
If the Beast King is willing to show your female some favor, you can be happy about it for a while, but don’t you dare flaunt it in front of me!
Believe it or not, if I send for my sons, all of you will be sent to the mines. Not a single one of you will escape."
’When had she, the First Madam, ever been humiliated like this?’
The spectating Beastmen felt their scalps tingle and couldn’t help but shuffle backward, praying the First Madam hadn’t remembered their faces.
Many Beastmen had already turned and fled, leaving only five or six who weren’t afraid of trouble.
Zhi Le smiled, but the smile didn’t reach his eyes. "Alright, then. We’ll just stand here and wait. Let’s see just how impressive the Eldest Prince and Second Prince are."
His words put the First Madam on the spot.
A flash of annoyance crossed the First Madam’s face. She was having a secret affair with the High Priest, Song Tan, because on the surface, she was wary of the Beast King’s cultivation, his unpredictable nature, and his explosive temper.
Right now, the Beast King was extremely fond of the Si Shuo Divine Servant. Even the Princes shouldn’t be causing him trouble at a time like this.
"Let’s forget it for today. You should all leave at once. If there’s a next time, I will definitely have my sons uphold justice for me."
She said this flatly, her lips pressed together.
"Oh, no," Bai Xiao, Xiao Cheng, Witch Doctor said with a lazy smile. "There’s no time like the present. Let’s do it today. I, the Bai Xiao Witch Doctor, have never met anyone more audacious than myself.
If you don’t have anyone to send, I can call someone to ’invite’ the Eldest Prince and Second Prince over."
The First Madam ground her teeth, her eyes lowered in thought. ’This time, I’m only making a move against the males accompanying the Si Shuo Divine Servant and the Bai Xiao Witch Doctor. Getting rid of one or two disobedient Couple Brothers for the Beast King shouldn’t be a big deal.’
’It’s also a good chance to knock these foreign females down a peg and teach their males not to bully others by relying on someone else’s power!’
"Go and bring the Eldest Prince and Second Prince here," the First Madam called out to the guards outside, her face dark. "Now, please step outside while we tidy up."
Si Shuo didn’t insist, leading everyone out to the main hall to wait.
When the First Madam re-entered, she was alone.
Si Shuo didn’t miss the fleeting look of triumphant glee on the First Madam’s face. Her lips curled. "First Madam, what about that male from before? Why haven’t we seen him come out?"
The First Madam said dismissively, "He’s just a worthless thing, only good for putting some effort into serving people.
If the Si Shuo Divine Servant fancies him, I can have him sent over to you later."
Si Shuo shook her head. "No, thank you. I prefer my own powerful and robust males. That one just now was as thin as a rail. I was starting to wonder if the First Madam was just using him as a stick, were you?"
Bai Xiao, Xiao Cheng, Witch Doctor was drinking water, listening to the little female speak and pondering her meaning, when he suddenly choked.
’A stick... did she mean what he thought she meant?’
The First Madam pressed her lips together, smart enough not to respond this time. She just sipped her honey water and waited.
Before long, the Eldest Prince and Second Prince stormed in menacingly.
"Which despicable beast is tired of living, daring to humiliate our Mother! This Prince will have to ’greet’ you with my whip..." As he spoke, the Eldest Prince didn’t even look, flicking the long whip in his hand directly toward Si Shuo.
Before the whip could even reach Si Shuo, Si Teng angrily popped out, wrapped itself around the long whip, and with a single, powerful tug, yanked it right out of the Eldest Prince’s hand.
Smelling the heavy scent of blood on the whip, Si Teng quivered with excitement. Seeing that its master wasn’t stopping it, it swelled up, its smooth body sprouting hard thorns.
The Eldest Prince was stunned for a moment before Si Teng struck him viciously, the wound stinging with a burning pain. He was dazed for a second, then roared, "AH... YOU’RE COURTING DEATH!"
He tried to grab the whip, but it twisted wildly, easily evading his grasp.
The Second Prince watched his brother chase a whip around the room, cursing, his own face cold. He directly spat out a Fire Dragon. There was no whip that wasn’t afraid of fire.
However, the whip continued to twist joyfully, as if it were dancing in the flames. It showed no fear at all. Instead, after it had its fun, it zipped out twice and tied up both the Eldest Prince and the Second Prince.
Only then did Si Shuo step forward, poking them with the whip handle. With a light laugh, she said, "Weren’t you so arrogant just now? Go on, keep shouting. Keep cracking that whip, why don’t you? Don’t stop now, I haven’t had my fill of the show yet."
"Si Shuo Divine Servant, these two children are just ignorant and offended you just now. Please be the bigger person and don’t stoop to their level," the First Madam, ever the pragmatist, said with a hurried smile, seeing she couldn’t gain an advantage.
Si Shuo’s lips curled. "And why should I listen to you? I happen to be a very petty person. I remember anyone who offends me for a lifetime!
Of course, I’m also very easy to appease. Perhaps you could try using Crystal Stones to shut me up?"
