"Ah, you mean you want me to develop a thick skin, right? I shouldn't care about what others think; I just need to find the beastman I like. If I can become stronger, that's great, but it still depends on how I feel," Si Lu said seriously.
Exactly.
Although she was bound to the system, and her task was to reproduce cubs, she still needed to like the person for it to work!
If she didn't like them, wouldn't that be awkward?
Besides, the system was actually quite considerate and took her preferences into account. It didn't force her to mate with a powerful male.
"So, tell me what kind you like, and when the time comes, I'll tie one up for you to pick!" Cheng Mo said.
"Tell us what type you like so we can keep an eye out for you," Song Zhan nodded seriously.
Although he hadn't officially become her partner, he had long set his heart on Si Lu. No matter what, even if he had to be clingy and shameless, he would stick by her.
"I—I like someone who looks good, someone easy on the eyes. Of course, if I like him, he has to like me too!" Si Lu immediately said, her eyes lighting up.
Who doesn't like someone who looks good!
Good looks are like a beautiful scene. Just standing there, they attract everyone's attention.
"I got it. I'll help you find a handsome and strong beastman in the future. And if he dares not like you, I'll beat him up!" the big tiger beside her declared firmly.
"Do you mean you want him to look good in human form or beast form?" Cheng Mo asked, his eyes filled with amusement.
He didn't expect his little female to be fond of good looks.
Luckily, he was good-looking and had decent strength too.
Song Zhan wasn't bad either; his strength was considerable.
"Of course, in human form!" Si Lu responded immediately.
"Alright," Cheng Mo gently patted her head.
"Hey, aren't you guys jealous?" Si Lu looked at Cheng Mo and asked curiously.
Yeah.
Why weren't they jealous?
In her previous world, this kind of thing would be impossible. Naturally, everyone would be insanely jealous.
But here...
"Of course we get jealous, but since it's you, we can tolerate it. We know that having a few more beastmen to protect you will be better!"
"You don't know—there have been cases where females with too few mates encountered accidents. This happens every day on the beastman continent. To ensure females are well cared for, they need multiple mates."
"Of course, the mates have to be strong enough too. Otherwise, if something happens to the female..."
"The situation on the beastman continent is complex. Not every beastman will cherish females. What's more, there are wandering beasts, and many females have been harmed by them. To protect their mates, females need to choose powerful mates," Cheng Mo explained slowly.
Rather than risk her being harmed, it was better for her to have several strong beastmen.
"I understand," Si Lu nodded.
It turns out that in the eyes of male beastmen, especially those who are mates, their partner is the most important being.
Male beastmen are incredibly loyal to their partners.
She was very happy to have met Cheng Mo when she first arrived here.
"But in the future, you have to be fair to all of us. Otherwise... hmph," Cheng Mo huffed.
"Of course, of course!" Si Lu stretched out her hand and hugged Cheng Mo.
She knew that when she had more beastmen in the future, she would have to be fair. Otherwise, they would fight and argue.
Not to mention, they would feel hurt and sad.
She just happened to raise her head and saw Song Zhan sitting quietly to the side. For some reason, her heart ached a little.
That quiet posture of his, along with his lonely figure...
It's settled then.
Since she had accepted the big tiger, it was better to make things official sooner! But wait, she had cubs inside her. [Host, you can still mate while pregnant. This system has already optimized your body. With the system's protection, there will be no accidents.
[You can rest assured... um, you know what I mean!]
[With the system's protection, both you and the cubs will be absolutely safe. All you need to do is carry them; the system will handle protection, and the males will handle the rest!
Si Lu's face turned black after hearing this!
This system really doesn't know how to talk delicately!
Being so blunt can be a bit embarrassing.
Hehe, since that's the case, then tonight...
"Ah Mo, can I sleep with the big tiger tonight?" Si Lu raised her head, her moist eyes full of nervousness and caution.
She still wanted to ask Cheng Mo first.
After all, he was her first beastman, and she couldn't ignore his feelings.
Cheng Mo was stunned. He didn't expect Si Lu to want to mate with Song Zhan so soon.
But as long as she was willing, everything else didn't matter.
On the other side, Song Zhan couldn't contain his excitement when he heard this.
Si Lu had really accepted him and chosen him as her mate!
That was great!
Actually, as long as they hadn't officially mated, his heart had always been anxious and cautious, afraid that one day Si Lu might not like him and ask him to leave.
But once he became her mate, he could rightfully care for and protect her!
"Thank you, Xiao Lu, but didn't you get hurt a while ago? Your body... I can wait!" Song Zhan's eyes gleamed with joy but also care.
Si Lu's heart ached even more at his words and the happiness in his eyes.
The big tiger is so gentle and thoughtful.
"Look at you, just don't push yourself," Cheng Mo said softly, patting her head.
At the same time, he glanced at Song Zhan with disdain. Look at him, acting all useless, hmph!
Who would have thought Song Zhan could be like this?
In the past, when they hunted together, this guy was so full of pride.
Of course, Cheng Mo was proud too!
After all, with his strength and status, he had every right to be.
"Ah Mo, Ah Zhan, I'm fine. I've already recovered." Si Lu smiled.
At the same time, she let out a breath of relief.
Luckily, Cheng Mo didn't seem upset.
She had been a little worried that Cheng Mo might not be happy.
"Good. It's better to settle things with the tiger sooner so he doesn't look so pitiful all the time," Cheng Mo grumbled.
No matter who else Si Lu chose in the future, he would always be her first beastman. His place in her heart was unshakable!
Cheng Mo was incredibly grateful that he had met Si Lu first.
Song Zhan, on the other hand, couldn't stop smiling, his mouth stretched wide.
"Tsk, look at you, so useless," Cheng Mo said, glancing at him with disgust.
"I'm just happy. I finally have a female I love, a female I can protect."
"From now on, I, Song Zhan, will no longer be a single beast! Hahaha!" Song Zhan laughed joyfully.
Si Lu (⊙o⊙)…
