Chapter 55: Chaotic Baking

last update Last Updated: 2022-10-10 00:00:46
The next morning, I woke up quite late, so Gurion was probably playing with my brother already since he was not around when I opened my eyes.

"Are you awake?" Dillon inquired as he sat beside me and assisted me in sitting. "Lowell said you had another nightmare last night; are you uncomfortable anywhere?"

The dreams I had were similar to all my dreams and nightmares during every full moon. Sometimes, the dreams repeat a few times but still leave a great impression on me. I felt like the dreams were bits of memories of the lives of Arie, Ayla, and the Queen Goddess Hera. The only thing that baffled me was that last night, I dreamed of a Winged Lion beastman who looked similar to Father Lev. His voice was also the same.

However, as always, I can only have all my questions answered when we arrive at our destination.

"I'm fine—I'm just feeling hungry and lightheaded," I mumbled as I rested my head on his shoulder.

  • Ari   Chapter 56: Meat Preservation

    There was only a month left before springtime. My brother and Dillon heard the small talks of the tribesmen while gathering some firewood from the nearest forest. They were talking about the food shortage and spoilage in their tribe. According to them, some of their supplies had already gone bad, and they were afraid that their females and cubs would suffer from hunger before the spring arrived.Like other beastmen, a Tiger beastman doesn't technically need to eat only meat. However, their food preferences were the problem. They only like to eat meat.A Tiger beastman has a bigger appetite than a Lion beastman. Both races have similarities in their taste palates, but our Forest Lion Tribe has long been used to eating vegetables and fruits as complementary foods during the harsh season.A beastman can suffer from stress if they don't eat their main food preference for a long period of time, causing them to become physically weak and prone to illnesses. A male Tiger beastman can tolerate

    Everything went smoothly in the Tiger Tribe as the days went by. They also started to explore other spices according to their individual preferences. The tribesmen started to learn the significance of preserving their food supply. I also wanted to teach them how to farm, but it will take a long time before they can learn it properly, and we were about to leave in a few weeks' time. Hence, the new knowledge will be useful enough for them to thrive even in the harsh weather. "Ahem, thank you so much for helping our tribe—I'll do my best to find a replacement for the salt that you gave us," Dawon said as he tried to hug me out of gratitude. I instantly dodged, and my brother surprisingly stood in front of me, so Dawon landed on my brother instead. "You're welcome. You. Are. Very. Welcome," my brother replied sarcastically with a very dissatisfied tone. Flustered, Dawon instantly backed away and held his hand up high. "S-sorry, I was just so happy," Dawon explained his impulse. "Hmm

    When we left the tribe, Dawon looked extremely sad. I felt guilty, but it was not my intention to hurt him. We continued our journey according to plan and headed out to the next destination. It took us hours to go down the steep slope from the Tiger Tribe's territory. I had to fly Gurion down and wait for the others on lower ground. I initially suggested flying each one of them down the steep slope, but they all disagreed, so I just took Gurion and a bag down the slope instead to lessen their burden. Lowell, being the fastest, was tasked with going down ahead empty-handed to follow me and Gurion so that we wouldn't be alone for long when we reached the lower ground. He arrived just half an hour later than us. "I want to help them carry the baggage; Lowell, please stay with Gurion," I pleaded to Lowell with a worried tone. "N-no, hah, Ari; p-please stay here... t-they can manage it," Lowell replied while gasping for air. The others took longer than expected since they had to carry

    The night was long, and it was another full moon. Lowell decided to be on guard while the others went to sleep early due to exhaustion. I couldn't go to sleep early, so I stood up and went to Lowell, who was guarding on top of the tree. I quietly climbed up, but he still noticed my presence despite looking at the moon. "It's the full moon again—having a hard time sleeping?" He asked while lending his hand to help me climb on the branch where he was sitting. "Are you worried?" He pulled me up and had me sit on his lap while hugging me tightly. I was flustered. "Yes, I couldn't sleep because I'm afraid of having another nightmare—can you let me sit on my own?" I complained, "I'm not a child—it's a little stuffy." "Let me hug you for a bit; your scent is so nice that I couldn't resist you earlier; I've been wanting to ask you something for a while now, but you might get mad at me," he mumbled while sniffing the scent of my hair. "Hmm... I haven't even taken a bath yet (though I clea

    The shadow hands kept exploring my body like worms, crawling and wriggling on my skin, causing me to feel nauseated and disgusted. I wanted to puke.I prayed so hard for someone to help me or wake me up from this disgusting nightmare."Sephtis, stop it!" a familiar voice shouted suddenly out of nowhere.I was sure I heard her voice, but I couldn't see her."Ayla, help me, please," I muttered as I cried, pleading for help.The man asked in irritation, "What? Are you going to choose your sister over your own father?"I was baffled because I thought Ayla was my twin, if I truly was Arie. Even so, I couldn't deny their similarities. His black hair and gray eyes shimmer despite the darkness of the Abyss.I was so frightened, but I had no other choice. She was the only one who could save me. She is the only one I can rely on at times like this, despite not knowing why I trust her so much.Maybe because she really was my sister, and our souls might still be connected to one another. It was th

  • Ari   Chapter 61: Canan Village

    There were three main continents in the Beastman World: the South Continent, the Mid Continent, and the North Continent. The South Continent is technically a place where the sun never rises, making it a place where most of the nocturnal beastmen reside. It was also the place where the Goddess Ayla used to be imprisoned. However, we have no idea how she got free from her restriction. The Mid Continent was where most of the normal beastmen like us resided. It is the biggest continent since it occupies more than half of the world. Lastly, the North Continent was a place where ancient races lived since it was the place where the sun never rested. There was no regular beastman in the North because there was a barrier that separated the North Continent from the Mid. There were only a few ancient race beastmen who could pass through the barrier, since the higher their power, the harder it was to pass through. Each race usually forms a tribe in their territory, but there were groups of bea

    The village chief was baffled upon seeing my appearance. "A familiar collar... An Ancient race... A White-Winged Lion... A guardian mark... A female?" he mumbled in shock. His confidante asked for my collar while Jael was still mumbling. I was shocked and nervous because my ovulation was near, and it would be a disaster for me and the village if all the males suddenly ran on a rampage. "Would it be alright to let her keep the collar on?" my brother asked upon seeing me tremble in nervousness. "Isn't that the collar you traded with us? Is she the ancient race female you were talking about before?" Jael asked curiously. "Yes, she is. Please let her keep the collar. She is sensitive to the scent of stranger males, and the collar helps her normalize her senses," Lowell answered. "Hmm... That's new. I didn't know it had an effect like that. I have a lot of questions. May I invite you all to my humble abode?" Jael mumbled. "It will be our pleasure," Lowell responded. Jael leads us t

    Tora held my hand from under the table, squeezing it lightly while caressing it a few times to comfort me, so I suddenly came back to my senses. I looked at her and saw that she was confused about my reaction but still worried about my gloomy expression. "I see. How about the god named Sephtis?" My brother asked. "Oh, The god of death. There were tales that he was the real father of one of the twin goddesses, and it was in fact his curse that made the twin goddesses fuse once in a while, causing chaos on our lands. He threw it as vengeance for being defeated by his twin brother named Lev," Jael responded while feeling a little frightened. "Wait! Did I hear it correctly? You said Lev?" Dillon asked abruptly. "Yes, you did. His name was erased all throughout the history of the Beastman World, but my ancestors have never forgotten the name of the first ruler, even after his death. Would you like to hear the tale of the origin of our world?" Jael asked. They all nodded eagerly, so I

    I tried not to laugh when I saw Macan's annoyed look. On the other hand, Tora and Jala were giggling while giving the babies to Dillon and Dylan. They just finished feeding my babies. They then pushed the two stunned and clueless males near me. "Let Ari see her children. Come on! Stop dazing around," Tora nagged as she pushed Dillon. "Honey," Dillon mumbled while handing over one of my lovely babies. "Hmm? She's—wait, no—it's a boy? Aw!" I choked as I coughed in shock, then crouched a little due to the pain. "What, babe? First time seeing a baby boy?" Macan teased. "Well, technically, yes," I replied embarrassedly. "Oh, right. I forgot," Macan whispered, looking away lightly. "How will we know who's their father? They looked extremely alike," I asked. "The female is my daughter...," Dylan said. "Right, and the male is my son," Dillon added. I was stunned and mumbled, "How did you know?" "My mark disappeared when she came out crying loudly across the room. She was quite energ

  • Ari   Chapter 124: Birth of Twins

    A few months later, my stomach kept growing, and everyone was mortified to see a huge stomach. I was embarrassed because female beastmen don't grow their stomachs too much like mine, so I stayed in the room behind the throne and patiently waited until I could give birth to the twins. The twins were so active inside my stomach that I sometimes couldn't hold back my pee, so I had to wear padding on my undergarments. Also, the weight of my stomach was so heavy that it was too hard to move around, let alone walk. We could see my stomach move from time to time. It was surprising at first that Tora screamed in shock. It looked amusing to me since it meant they were healthy. One day, when the autumn was almost over, I suddenly felt a series of stomach pains. Macan explained that it was because it was almost time for me to give birth. The pain was bearable at first because it was similar to the pain I had when I had my period, but it suddenly started to worsen, and I was finding it hard to

  • Ari   Chapter 123: Portal to Dylan's Palace

    I successfully opened the portal without receiving any penalty. I figured it would be like this because my power has the same attribute as the barrier, making me conclude it was created by my parents since the two of them can control lightning. "Honey! Why are you so reckless?" Dillon roared in nervousness. "Are you alright?" Macan dashed to check on my condition. "Yep! I knew it. The barrier won't retaliate against my power because I can also control lightning," I grinned. "God! Babe! You scared all of us! You should have explained to us first before doing something potentially dangerous," he scolded. "Sorry... It's because you won't allow me even if I explain it, since I wasn't sure of it either. It's better to show it straight in front of everyone. First of all, Mother said I could use it to open a portal everywhere in the mortal land where my people are located. Gurion is one of us, so it's easier to open a portal since he lives in the palace," I explained. "It's still risky,

    After dinner was served in my room, the servants also gave me a box containing a necklace. They said it was from my mom."But do I still need this even if I'm already pregnant?" I asked curiously."Yes, Your Highness. It's not only a suppressant of heat and scent. It can help you use the ring without using your power. The necklace will also bring you back here if you suddenly have a sudden fluctuation of power," the servant explained."I see. It would be quite convenient. Send my gratitude to my mother. I couldn't go to her right now because I'm feeling under the weather, but I'll meet her tomorrow before we all leave," I instructed."Yes, Your Highness," she answered before she left my room.******************************The next morning, we had breakfast with my parents for the last time. We decided to go back after the meal. They were both emotional, but they didn't change their minds despite the heartbreaking goodbye."Are you sure about this?" my mother asked."Yes, Mom," I repli

    All the males came back later than we'd anticipated. They were all extremely intoxicated, except my brother. "Oh my god! What the hell happened to all of you?" I gasped in shock. "Dear... You stink! Don't go near Nita. You'll hurt her nose," Tora scolded my brother as she pushed him away. "Aww! Do I?" he asked, sniffing himself. "Yes, Brother. What kind of hazing did you all go through?" I blurted while laughing at all my unconscious spouses lying on the floor. The servants had a lot of trouble bringing them all back to my room. "Hazing? What is that?" my brother asked. "Never mind. Go take a shower and bring Tora and Nita into your room. It reeks of alcohol in my room. I'll handle these punks," I instructed. "Will you be alright, Ari?" Tora asked worriedly. "Yes. Come on! Make haste. Nita has a sensitive nose; she'd get suffocated with this kind of strong scent," I insisted as I looked at Nita's disgusted reaction. "But Ar—" she mumbled as I pushed them out of my room. "Hur

    The next morning, I decided to ask my parents for a favor. "Mother, Father, I want to tell you something in private," I said after I finished eating breakfast. "I see. Let's wait for everyone to finish their meal. I'll have the servants and guards move out of the room," my mother replied, smiling while holding my hand for reassurance. "Thanks, Mother." I smiled as I lifted her hand and placed it on my face, rubbing my cheek against her palm. After everyone had finished eating, my father gave Nita back to my brother, and I told everyone, "Please go ahead without me. I want to have a conversation with my parents." They all nodded in agreement and did what was told to them. After everyone left the room, my mother started to ask worriedly, "Is there something wrong, my dear?" "Mother, Father, may I live in the mortal land as a regular female beastman?" I asked. Their faces darkened with sadness. "You don't want to be with us?" my mother asked while weeping. "I...

    The other Immortals performed their skills to entertain the guests in between meals as part of the celebration. It was fun since Nirvana rarely held a feast, but it was also exhausting because it lasted until dinner time. "Son, I've prepared a room for your family near Arie's room. I've also asked the servants to prepare the bath and new sets of clothing to change. Go ahead and have your wife and daughter take an early rest. I bet they're tired from the whole day of celebration," my father said to my brother. "Thank you, Father," my brother replied while hugging him briefly before following his instruction. "Mother, Father, may we go ahead to my room? I feel quite exhausted and sleepy," I asked. "Sure, my dearest! Take an early rest. The servants have already prepared your baths. But will your spouses be staying in your room? Would you like me to have them bring some extra blankets and pillows?" my mother asked. "Yes, please, Mother. Thank you and goodnight!" I replied in gratitud

    The news about my pregnancy made my mood lighter and distracted me for a bit. It was nice seeing the people dearest to me in times of grief. I couldn't utter a single word about what happened during the battle. I couldn't bring up the topic because it hurts my heart to think about the sacrifice of my sister. Luckily, there was other news that could keep them busy for a while. "Wait... Who's this little cutie?" I asked as I crawled near my brother to see closer. Her brown eyes and hair were similar to my brother's. "She's Nita; she hatched a few days ago." Tora grinned. "Aw! I want a mini version of Tora, but she's cute. She looked exactly like Brother Orson when he was small," I mumbled. "Right?! She's so adorable!" Tora beamed as she hugged me tightly. "Don't put your weight on Ahri," Macan warned as he pulled Tora away. "You're so stingy, brother! Hmph!" Tora complained. I chuckled at her cute reaction. Dillon sat beside me, stroking my hair with a relieved expression. "Hone

    I was relieved to meet the Supreme God in my dream. I felt like my chest became lighter, though I'm still grieving. I accepted and faced reality faster with his help. "My dear, welcome back! How was your talk with Father?" my mother asked in a calm and warm tone. "He should have let her rest first before summoning her," my father sighed in a low voice. "You're right, but I believe He's just worried about her. She's His beloved granddaughter after all," she replied with a saddened tone despite her smile. "My dear, are you still tired? Are you hungry? Would you like some water?" Dylan asked with worry. "I'm well rested, and I don't feel hungry as of the moment." I chuckled and smiled miserably with teary eyes. "My dear..." he mumbled in worry. "I'm all right because she'll be alright somewhere. I just need a little more time," I responded with tears in my eyes. My parents also cried and hugged me, trying to console me without uttering a word. We were all equally hurt since we lov
