Everyone, both inside and outside the house, was stunned.

Little Sibao was completely unaware that, and patted his round little belly, muttering softly, "I'm still not full. This beast soul is too small; it's not enough for one meal."

The beast shaman, who was secretly watching from the bushes in the distance, turned to stone inch by inch.

how so?

That must be a devouring technique, but that little one is so tiny, how could she have such a powerful devouring ability?

The Beast Shaman felt no life at all. Even though Little Four Treasures had swallowed a beast soul he had painstakingly created, he didn't care. What he cared about more now was the little guy, Little Four Treasures.

"If only I could kidnap this little one," the Beast Witch thought greedily, gazing at Little Four Treasures.

Shen Miao rushed out of the house, holding Xiao Sibao, and asked, "Sibao, how are you feeling now? Is there anything wrong with your body?"

After all, it was made by that treacherous beast shaman; who knows if it might harm Xiao Sibao's body?

Little Sibao frowned, smacked his tender red lips, and said innocently, "It doesn't feel uncomfortable, it just doesn't taste very good, it's bitter."

Shen Miao was both amused and exasperated. She hadn't asked how it tasted, but since Xiao Sibao said he didn't feel unwell, she was relieved.

After observation, it was found that Xiao Sibao did not have any adverse reactions. Everyone was very happy for Xiao Sibao because this time she devoured the beast soul, which meant that she had completely mastered the ability to devour and could now devour things independently.

Thinking back to how Xiao Sibao ran up the mountain every day during that time, and Jiu Ying accompanied him rain or shine, Shen Miao felt even more grateful to Jiu Ying.

She thanked Jiuying, but the latter waved his hand and laughed, "It's nothing. I just accompanied her up the mountain. The real ability was something that Xiao Sibao mastered through her own efforts."

Hearing this, Shen Miao suddenly felt a little ashamed.

Even the little four treasures could persevere, so why was she so impatient when learning Soul Refining? She couldn't even compare to a little kid.

After much painful reflection, Shen Miao decided to pick up the Soul Refining technique again.

Jiuying was somewhat surprised and subconsciously asked, "You want to learn Soul Refining?"

“Yes.” Shen Miao said embarrassedly, “I thought it was too simple before, that it didn’t matter whether I learned it or not. Now that I think about it, I still can’t give up halfway.”

Jiuying had mixed feelings. Shenmiao's ambition was commendable, but he hesitated when he thought of the scene where the remnant soul was out of control.

Shen Miao seemed to have thought of this as well, and was immediately a little embarrassed: "Well, this time I will definitely concentrate and not let the beast soul escape from my hands again."

This topic made Jiuying a little embarrassed. His little thoughts had been seen through. He quickly waved his hand and said, "It's okay, I believe you. If you want to learn, learn a little every day. There's no need to rush. What do you think?"

"Okay." Shen Miao nodded in agreement without hesitation.

That day, after Shen Miao finished learning Soul Refining from Jiu Ying, she was about to go back when she passed through a residential area and suddenly saw a large crowd gathered around a wooden house, which was quite lively.

At first glance, it looked like they were arguing, but they weren't. Everyone was criticizing a female beast holding her cub. The female beast looked weak, but her hands were firmly protecting the cub in her arms.

"I'd rather die than give you my cubs!" the female beast shouted.

The people around them all said, "How could you be so foolish? You gave birth to such a monster. It will definitely bring misfortune to your family and the entire camp in the future."

"That's right, don't be confused. We can have more babies in the future. There's really no need to keep this monster."

The crowd kept calling her a monster, and accused the female beast of being ignorant of the bigger picture and selfish. The female beast couldn't argue with so many mouths, so she simply stopped talking and just held her cub tightly.

When some orcs realized that talking to the female beasts was ineffective, they went to persuade the male beasts standing nearby, scolding him: "You can't even control your own female beast? Does she think you can just believe whatever she says? This will get your whole family killed sooner or later!"

The male beast seemed to lack his own opinions. After everyone said that, he went to talk to his female beast and even tried to snatch the cub from her arms.

The female beast cried, "Dahe, these are our cubs! I gave birth to them with so much pain. How can you bear to throw them away? You might as well throw me away too!"

The male beast named Dahe murmured, "This is not our cub, this is a monster."

It was one thing for others to call them monsters, but when her own partner said the cubs were monsters, the female beast lost control and broke down, saying, "They're not monsters! They're just two hind legs joined together! They're two cubs, they're people, not monsters!"

No matter how much the female beast broke down and screamed, the people around her refused to listen. They shouted that they must kill this conjoined monster and said that the female beast was disobedient, so they would beat her too.

Someone shoved the female animal, causing her to fall to the ground. Someone rushed forward to snatch the cub from her arms. Unable to protect it, the female animal burst into tears, crying out in despair, "My cub! Give it back to me! Give my cub back to me!"

The baby seemed to sense its fate and let out a soft cry.

The orcs, however, were all heartless and clamored for them to be thrown to their deaths. The orc then raised the naked cub in his hand high and slammed it hard to the ground.

Suddenly his hand went numb, and the cub slipped from his grasp and fell into someone's arms.

The orc looked down and saw that it was a female beast blocking his way. He became angry and wanted to attack Shen Miao.

The moment he moved, he was restrained. It wasn't Shen Miao, because Shen Miao was still holding the baby. It was someone who had suddenly appeared. He roared, "Who the hell are you?"

Jiuying grabbed his neck and said coldly, "Who are you cursing?"

The orc made a clicking sound, his hands flailing futilely, his eyes wide and pleading. Jiuying glanced at him coldly, released him, and threw him to the ground, warning, "Watch your mouth!"

This move shocked everyone. After a moment of silence, someone finally spoke up in dissatisfaction: "Who are these two? Mind your own business. What does it have to do with them?"

Those who knew Shen Miao and Jiu Ying said, "You don't know these two? The female beast is the leader of Xuan Ran's army, and the male beast is the patriarch of the Golden Crow Clan, the one who lives in the very center of the Beast Domain."

Upon hearing that it was the leader of Xuanran's army, some orcs became intimidated and dared not speak again.

However, some people are unaware of the power of Xuanran's army. They may have only recently moved here. Because the Beast Domain has expanded so rapidly, there are many strangers in the camp. It would be good if Shen Miao could recognize half of them.

"So what if Xuanran's army leader is gone? Does she think she can force us to leave this ominous monster behind?" someone objected.
