22 The Mysterious Young Master Ying-Jogo do Mundo das Feras: A Fêmea Malvada de Cintura Mole Provoca os Grandes Chefes a Competirem por Ela(O porco que sabe dizer "Parabéns e que você faça fortuna")

Inside the large wooden cabin, Banai had only just returned home when he began tidying up the large wooden chests and the new furniture in the living room. Cang Qian offered to help, but Banai refused, insisting she go take a bath instead.

He moved all of her belongings into his own room, taking special care to decorate the space. By the time Cang Qian finished her bath and stepped into the room, it had been transformed into a bridal chamber. Banai, having also bathed, emerged and wrapped his arms around her from behind, asking, "Do you like it?"

She chuckled and replied, "We exchanged beast-marks last night; isn't it a bit late to be setting this up now?"

"It is precisely because I didn't set it up last night that I am making up for it today."

With that, Banai lifted her up, placed her on the bed, and took a cloth to gently wipe her soft, silky blue hair. When he brushed against the pair of fox ears on her head, he gave them a deliberate, gentle knead. Instantly, Cang Qian felt a wave of comfort wash over her!

When she first transmigrated into this beast world and discovered she had a pair of fox ears, she had been quite unaccustomed to them. Later, however, after checking them in a bronze mirror, she decided they were actually quite pretty. She had touched them herself back then, but beyond the pleasant, furry texture, she hadn't felt anything special. Yet, for some reason, when Banai touched them, she felt a profound sense of comfort! Cang Qian finally understood why cats and dogs in the real world loved being petted by humans—so this was what it felt like!

Banai, noticing her look of bliss as he kneaded her ears, leaned down to her ear and whispered, "Do you want me to touch your tail, too?"

Cang Qian’s eyes lit up immediately. She unconsciously swayed her large, blue-furred tail, and without realizing it, she radiated a natural, foxy allure. Banai’s eyes turned red with desire; he pulled her supple waist against him, pressed her into the bedding, and kissed her.

Cang Qian had already asked the system while bathing, and she knew that such activities would not affect her pregnancy, as the Childbearing System would ensure her safety. After their intimate time together, the two drifted into a deep sleep. Knowing she was pregnant, Banai exercised restraint and did not fight until dawn.

Three days later, Che Baiyuan’s parents returned.

Because they were prominent merchants, they were not only wealthy but also acquainted with many beast-men through their travels, including members of influential families and nobles from the Beast Palace. Every time they returned, they brought back a bounty of goods—jewelry, ornaments, and various daily necessities—which they shared with the villagers in addition to their own children.

Because of this, everyone treated them with great warmth and gratitude. To express their appreciation, the village always held a welcoming banquet on the day of their return. By early morning, hundreds of wooden tables and chairs had been set up in the center of the village. The tables were covered with beautiful cloths and laden with fruits, vegetables, and the village’s own homemade fruit wine.

The village chief, Cang Lian, and the High Priest, Dian Na, stood at the village entrance with representatives from every household, waiting for their arrival. Che Baiyuan, Che Tai, and Naiwa were also standing to the side, waiting happily, while Quan Gang remained at the Che household to look after the two small fox cubs.

Cang Qian linked her arm with Che Baiyuan’s and said, "Sister, don't be so nervous."

Che Baiyuan’s eyes were slightly red, her voice thick with emotion as she replied, "I haven't seen my parents in two or three years. I missed them so much."

Cang Qian patted her hand comfortingly. "They must be arriving any moment now." Che Baiyuan nodded, sniffing back tears.

Before long, the sound of carriage wheels and the hooves of beast-horses echoed from the distance. "They're here!" Cang Lian announced. The villagers behind them stretched their necks in anticipation.

About ten minutes later, a caravan of about fifty people appeared. Dressed in the style of merchants, they pulled three carts of goods and two beast-drawn carriages as they slowly approached the Suomo Blue Fox tribe.

As the group drew near, a male and a female beast-man stepped down from the lead carriage. Che Baiyuan ran over joyfully, throwing herself into the female’s arms and acting like a spoiled child. "Mother! You and Father are finally back! Yuan-yuan missed you so much."

Her mother hugged her tightly. "Yuan-yuan, you're a mother yourself now, yet you still act like a little girl."

Che Baiyuan pouted. "Even if I get old, I’ll always be your cub, and I’ll always want to be spoiled." Her mother laughed, petting her head affectionately.

Che Tai walked up to his father, bowed, and said, "Father, Mother, you have had a difficult journey." His father reached out and patted him happily. "Our A-Tai has grown tall and strong. In another two years, you’ll have a little female of your own!" Che Tai scratched his head, smiling shyly.

At that moment, Cang Lian led the villagers toward them. He walked up to the father, Si Nian, and grasped his hands. "Si Nian, Bai Ling, it has been a long time. Welcome home!" The couple bowed slightly to the chief.

Che Si Nian replied, "Chief, it has been a long time. Have you been well?"

Cang Lian leaned on his fox-headed staff and smiled. "Yes, everything is well!"

Just then, three male beast-men stepped down from the carriage behind them. The one in the center wore blue robes; he was handsome and possessed an air of distinction. The two men behind him wore black, their gazes sharp and alert.

Che Si Nian immediately introduced them. "This is Young Master Cong Ying, and the two behind him are his attendants. They are from the Green Fox tribe and are traveling with my caravan to see the world. Upon hearing I was returning to the village to visit my children, they decided to join us for a visit."

Cang Lian, seeing the bearing of this Young Master Cong Ying, knew he must be a descendant of a prominent Green Fox family; his status was not simple. He stepped forward with a smile. "Greetings, Young Master Cong Ying. I am Cang Lian, Chief of the Suomo Blue Fox tribe. Welcome to our village; I hope you enjoy your stay."

Cong Ying did not speak, merely responding with a faint smile.

In the back, Cang Qian watched the young master with a probing gaze. Beyond his striking appearance, there was another reason: the system, Xiao You, had just informed her that the man’s spiritual power was quite high—at the Red Tier, Level 3. According to the spiritual levels of the Beast Continent—Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Cyan, Blue, and Violet, each with seven levels—he was only four levels away from reaching the level of the Spirit Beast tribes.

Cang Qian rubbed her chin, muttering to herself, "His spiritual level is indeed quite high. Who exactly is this Cong Ying?"

[System: The vast majority of those who reach the Red Tier are male beast-men from the Green Fox Beast Palace. Player, please pay close attention to this individual.]

"Understood," Cang Qian replied in her mind.

At that moment, Cong Ying keenly sensed a gaze from nearby. He lifted his eyes, meeting hers. A flash of interest crossed Cong Ying’s eyes, but he quickly returned to his composed expression.

Chief Cang Lian then said, "We have prepared a welcoming banquet for you all. Let us go inside and talk."

"Very well," Che Si Nian agreed, gesturing to Cong Ying. "Young Master, please."

Cong Ying nodded and began to walk forward. The villagers cleared a path, and the entire party, including the carts and carriages, entered the village.
