Pampered Beasts: Beautiful Actress, Many Children, Many Blessings

The cultural heritage of Yunyao City is truly remarkable!

Clearly, the 100-person group, being male, felt the effects more acutely.

Except for a very few people who were unaffected, everyone else turned pale and retreated.

To avoid arousing suspicion, Yin You also took two steps back and hid in the crowd, remaining inconspicuous.

The group of a hundred dared not act recklessly. The leader stepped forward and bowed, saying, "I have no intention of forcibly breaking in, but I do not know how to enter this city gate."

The guard pointed to the stone tablet standing at the city gate, on which were written three lines of text.

"1. Anyone entering the city must proceed to the revealing stone, reveal their animal form, and register!"

"2. Anyone entering the city must pay an entry fee. Each adult male must pay one medium-grade crystal, while females and cubs are free."

"3. Anyone entering the city is prohibited from bringing any prohibited items; any such items found will be confiscated immediately!"

In the Beast World, they mostly used low-grade crystals for transactions, while mid-grade crystals were considered a store of value. But unexpectedly, just the entrance fee to the city required a mid-grade crystal!

Everyone says that the cost of living in Yunyao City is high, but only now do people truly realize just how high that cost is!

"Excuse me, if I come out of town again after entering the city, will I need to register and pay again when I return?" someone asked immediately.

After all, not everyone is well-off. If they want to live here for a long time, they have to go out hunting frequently to obtain crystals!

However, this means they have to come and go frequently. If they have to register and pay every time, registration is fine, it's just a bit of a hassle, but paying is really a pain!

The magical beasts they hunted might not even be worth a single mid-grade crystal!

Seeing that the group was sincere in wanting to enter the city, the guard softened his tone, "After entering the city, you will be issued a temporary residence permit. This permit is valid for one month. Within one month, you can use this permit to go out or enter the city without having to register or pay again. After one month, you will need to pay again to exchange for a new temporary residence permit!"

At this point, a clever person thought, "If I go in and never come out, wouldn't I be able to stay there indefinitely?"

Unfortunately, this idea was quickly denied by the guards: "Don't even think about using your temporary residence permit to stay in the city for a long time. Every day in the city, whether you are buying, selling, staying in a hotel, or doing anything else, you must use this permit. Once the permit expires, you will lose all your human rights, and anyone has the right to kick you out, or even... kill you!"

As soon as the other person finished speaking, everyone shuddered, and they immediately smiled apologetically, "How could that be? We are all law-abiding citizens!"

"I hope so! If so, please proceed to the revealing stone and reveal your animal forms!"

Upon hearing this, Xixi's heart leaped into her throat.

She wasn't worried about herself. They had already reached Yunyao City. Even if these people discovered her identity, they couldn't hurt her once she entered the city.

What if it's secluded and hidden?

He once said that his clan was wiped out because of a special heart. Even though many years have passed, the tribe that committed evil back then might still exist. If those people really discover the hidden beast form, then he will be in danger!

Feeling the little one nuzzling against him, Yin You assumed it was afraid of being discovered. He patted its fluffy head reassuringly and whispered, "Don't worry! In front of my illusions, a tiny revealing stone is nothing!"

Xixi: "???" So arrogant? They don't even care about developing stones!

It seems she doesn't know enough about her new beastly husband!

Xi Xi felt a little relieved, and then saw everyone coming to the developing stone one after another.

But in the developing stone, one could see clown mermaids swimming around, almost identical except for slight differences in surface color.

So much so that the guards in charge of registration became somewhat numb, and they didn't even bother to call out "next person," simply ordering everyone to go through one by one.

He, meanwhile, buried himself in writing, occasionally asking, "Name, age, gender, etc..."

In this atmosphere, Xixi was surprised to find that the hidden beast-like shape on the surface of the stone was actually a clownfish, which looked quite ordinary among the other clownfish.

But she didn't even leave a trace on the developing stone!

Soon, Yin You also registered.

Having lived as Ugly Fin for so many days, he had already figured out Ugly Fin's situation through everyone's intentional or unintentional revelations. Not to mention registering such basic information, he even knew who else was in Ugly Fin's family and what embarrassing things had happened to him during his upbringing!

After registering, Yin You entered the city with the others.

Of course, the city entry fee is paid separately.

A medium-grade crystal is a lot for the people of Clownfish Village, but it is insignificant to Xixi.

Upon entering the city, just as the guards had said, food and lodging both cost money.

A skewer of meat the size of a toothpick costs one mid-grade crystal, a bowl of clear water also costs one mid-grade crystal, and if you want to find a place to stay, even a thatched hut, the price for one night is ten mid-grade crystals.

After facing reality, everyone said that they couldn't go on living, they simply couldn't go on living!

Just as everyone turned their expectant gazes toward the leader, he suddenly waved his hand and said, "Everyone, take care!"

After saying that, he strode into a shop, bowed, and asked obsequiously, "Boss, do you...do you take waiters? I'm really fast! No...then...do you take dishwashers? Kitchen helpers? Kitchen helpers are fine too, I can do anything, as long as you provide food and lodging!"

Everyone was stunned. Was this a sign that everyone was going their separate ways to make a living?

What happened to sticking together for warmth?

Soon, everyone rushed into nearby shops to inquire if there were any suitable job openings for them.

After all, they didn't have many crystals in their pockets.

Originally, they planned to keep a low profile and quietly save on the city entry fee a month later, but now they realize that with the crystals in their pockets, they might not even last a month!

Therefore, when they look for jobs, they skip over salary and only ask for room and board included.

This finally gave Xi Xi and her companion their own space.

Without seeking employment or finding lodging, Yin You turned and left the city gate again.

After finding a secluded place, the illusion was dispelled, restoring the original appearance, and Xixi was finally able to stand in the sunlight.

The two of them swaggered to the city gate. In front of the reflecting stone, Xixi even twisted and turned, admiring her own beast form for a while. Looking at the pretty little hamster inside, she didn't feel like she was looking in a mirror; instead, she found it rather adorable.

"I'm so cute!" Xixi covered her face and laughed.

Her light and cheerful tone also infected Yin You, making him feel that his decision was absolutely correct.
