Raising A Few Wives in a Beast Apocalypse

Chapter 549 548: Back

"Please mother-in-law don't joke like that. Ms Althea has no interest in Muku. So you're putting her in a difficult spot" cock blocker Emily who sadly fails every time, chimed in. Though this time she was really doing it for Althea's sake as someone she respected.

While there were some sus moments, she didn't think that Muku and Althea would really end up together. They were from different worlds and species after all... Okay, Muku would definitely not mind, the pervert, but Althea would, right?

"Is that so? Okay, if you say so. Then I apologise" Mrs C backed down with a slight smile on her face that hid a lot.

It got bigger when she looked at Muku before returning to normal.

Muku really wanted to kick her out before she really spilled the beans. But he dared not try.

Not only would he fail miserably, but it might be the reason she needs to snitch.

"I-ah, I'm Althea. It's nice to meet you, mother-in-la... I mean Mrs C" Althea replied hesitantly after seeing the expectant look on Mrs C's face.

She was still a bit scared... Nope, she was more than a bit scared. But she understood that the lady meant her no harm otherwise she would have been dead before she even knew what was going on.

As hard as that was to accept, she had to accept it.

She who a few hours ago thought of herself as the strongest being in the world was now facing someone who could practically treat her like an ant. Hell, an ant was even better as it could bite a little and be noticed, she probably couldn't even do that. It was rather stifling.

Her senses told her that much. After all, she couldn't sense Mrs C's depth. She kept on sinking deeper and deeper into the abyss the more she tried until she gave up.

Then again, she couldn't sense anything at all so...

Hearing her mistake the girls had giggled at her nervousness. It was fun to see the ever-confident Althea be nervous like this.

None thought too deeply about it.

"Hehe. Good girl. Now that we're all acquainted. I guess you should tell her about what she has to do if she wants to go with you" Mrs C replied happily before turning her attention to Muku.

Muku immediately explained to Althea about how she would have to seal her power if she wanted to go with them.

And surprisingly she readily agreed. She even had some excitement in her eyes. This confuses everyone present including Mrs C.

After all, she didn't go around reading everyone's mind even though she could. She only did that to Muku, and even then, it was always when he knew and she was teasing him...

They didn't know that Althea actually felt bad about how she couldn't grow together with the others. It had been a regret of hers for a while now.

So now that she would be locked to match them, it would be like they are growing together.

She can also participate in the fights there now.

There was no downside to this at all... It so she thought...

After she agreed they didn't delay and Althea's power was sealed with a snap by Mrs C. She still had use of her Beast Aura of course.

It was just weakened to R9 level. So she was essentially like Jade in how she used Beast Aura instead of mana.

After that was taken care of, they held a feast to celebrate Mrs C coming back as well as their progress and eventual return to the Blue Planet.

Of course, Hope ate the most. Again, it seemed that being made aware of her cravings made her awaken to being a real food-devouring monster.

Everyone just looked on with smiles on their faces as they tried to hold back their laughter.

After all, the girl practically had a hill of meat in front of her and was humming along as she merrily ate.

Sure the food was instantly processed in her body with no waste and she could probably eat a whole R9 beast on her own but still. Seeing such a small figure eating so much will always be funny.

Anyway, after that they toured the embryo since Mrs C wanted to.

It was only after that that she created the portal. Again, it was done with a finger snap.

Like when she was sealed just as easily, Althea was awed.

Everyone else had long gotten used to Mrs C's casualness while doing amazing things so they didn't even flinch.

In fact, Mrs C was pleased by Althea's reactions. She had missed having someone be awed by her power.

"Now before you go through the portal. I want you to know that it leads to the beast region. So enter stealth mode first. I mean, you need to do some investigation before attacking right?" Mrs C instructed.

"Ah. That makes sense... But aren't you coming along?" Muku asked.

He didn't even ask how she knew about their plan, which they had discussed when she wasn't there. That was simple stuff for her. There were too many ways.

"As much as I'd love to charge into battle with you, I actually have to get back. So maybe another time" Mrs C replied with a little smile on her face.

She always liked it when he showed concern.

"Ah. Okay. Stay safe. And I promise that I will definitely get strong enough soon to relieve you of your duties so you can retire in peace" Muku spoke with conviction.

"Tsk. You cheeky brat. I still have a lot of fight in me. So don't speak like you're writing me off. Also, I added a portal feature to your phone that can get you back here as well as go back to the Blue Planet. Of course, you'll have to use your mana to do it. Now bye" Mrs C replied with a gentle smile, casually shocking Althea again then sent them through the portal before they could say anything.

The next time they enter the embryo it would be from the Blue Planet...

....

After the group left...

"You know, you could have accompanied them for a while longer right?" The overseer spoke after casually appearing a distance away from Mrs C again.

Mrs C gave him a side glance that said "Bro, do you have nothing better to do? Why are you always hovering around me like a fly?"

"I could, but they would instantly relax" Mrs C replied. She was in a good mood so she might as well answer him right?

"Makes sense. What about that Althea child? You didn't have to seal her at all. Your authority is beyond the heavens after all. So..." The overseer added.

"Simple. I want as many grandkids as I can get" Mrs C replied before disappearing to a place not even the overseer could trace.

After all, if she didn't want to be found, no one in the universe had the power to find her.

"That cunning brat. To think she was such a heroic soul once" The overseer being a dinosaur even older than Mrs C instantly understood what she meant.

She was actually assisting her son in acquiring Althea. Acquiring her at her full strength was unlikely despite her interest in him until he caught up.

So she suppressed Althea to Muku's level. Knowing him, he will definitely capitalize on the opportunity. Hell, he probably already figured out the assist and was figuring out a game plan.

"Well, whatever. It's none of my business how deceptive this family is as long as they can save our existence. However, I can't help but wonder what the world would be like with more than ten of them if not twenty or thirty third generations of them running around. Such a day will definitely be one for the record books" The overseer spoke to itself before disappearing as well.

Despite the conversation having taken place inside the embryo, Muku wasn't aware of it at all.

Even if he was technically the supreme being in the universe(embryo), the two were beings beyond it and him. So of course they can ignore the rules as casually as they want...

....

On the blue planet...

Mrs C's portal appeared undetected in an obscure place then Muku and the girls fell out soon after.

"Tsk that old lady really doesn't know how to treat people with respect" Muku complained as soon as he landed.

"She just doesn't like overly emotional moments okay? Besides, we're back here safely aren't we? Home sweet home" Audrey defended her mother-in-law gently.

"You're too nice. But I guess you're right... And this doesn't feel like home anymore to me. I feel like we're still in the Beast World" Muku replied.

"Well the greenery is basically the same at this point so... Also we basically have been away for over 20 years. And we're in the beast region, I'm sure the human region is more developed" Audrey replied as gently as always.

"True again. Now what's our first move?" Muku agreed then got back to business.

He was already looking around and scanning the nearby area mapping it.

It was going to be ground zero of their territory if it was good enough...
