Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 214 - 158: I Want... Her Belly

The Little Bian had been very quiet since birth, not crying or fussing at all—a stark contrast to the three Wolf Pups when they were born. Sang Luo had been a little worried about its health, but she finally breathed a sigh of relief when she heard it let out a faint cry.

"The little cub must be hungry. I’ll nurse it."

Si Ye handed the baby to Sang Luo. When he saw her push aside the clothes on her chest, his face flushed red.

The little cub sniffed the air and latched right on.

Si Ye’s eyes widened, and he stammered, "Luoluo, is—is that okay?"

Seeing Si Ye about to rush forward and snatch the baby, Sang Luo slapped his hand away. "What are you doing?" she chided.

"Won’t the little cub’s teeth hurt you?"

"..." Sang Luo was speechless. "It was just born. It doesn’t even have teeth yet. How could it hurt me?"

Si Ye blushed with embarrassment. No new children had been born to the Bian Clan since his own birth, so this was the first time he’d ever seen a living Bian cub. He had never considered having children before and knew nothing about the process of raising them.

Seeing Sang Luo calmly nursing the baby, he still felt uneasy. "It’s going to start teething in half a month at most. You can’t keep... keep feeding it like this, can you?"

Sang Luo shot him an exasperated look and sighed. "Ah Ye, you’re honestly the most clueless Beast Husband I’ve ever met. Any other Beast Husband would have a warm bottle ready by now."

Si Ye grew anxious, thinking she wanted to let another Beast Husband raise the child. "I’ll learn right now!"

"Mhm! I’ll give you a chance. I’ll nurse it for the next few days, and once it starts teething, you can feed the baby formula."

"Okay."

As soon as he said it, Si Ye teleported away. When he returned, he was holding a thick stack of books: *Postpartum Care*, *Cub Rearing Manual*... After Sang Luo finished nursing the baby, she looked up and saw his serious, earnest expression and the books in his hands, and she couldn’t help but laugh out loud.

Her laughter threw Si Ye’s thoughts into disarray again. His gaze fell upon her slightly flushed face.

"Finished feeding?"

"Mhm, the little one got sleepy again right after eating. You can put it to bed now." ’The Little Bian is surprisingly easy to care for. It just eats and then goes right to sleep without making a sound. So low-maintenance.’

Si Ye closed his book and stood up. He took the cub from her arms, gently placed it in the wooden bed, then turned back to her side, lowered his head, and kissed her on the lips.

His kiss was clumsy yet gentle, a complete contrast to the wild and unrestrained demeanor he usually displayed.

KNOCK KNOCK.

Fei Yuan stood at the door, having knocked twice. "I am aware that a brief separation makes the heart grow fonder, but this is my Phoenix Palace. You two should show a little restraint."

"Couldn’t you knock before coming in?!" Si Ye frantically fastened the front of Sang Luo’s top, covering the wide expanse of pale skin. He then pulled the blanket up high, tucking her in so tightly that not even her neck was visible, practically trying to bundle her into a cocoon. He glared resentfully at Fei Yuan as he walked over.

Fei Yuan said coolly, "First, I did knock. Second, this is my Phoenix Palace. What kind of host has to knock on doors in his own home?"

He brought over a bowl of freshly brewed medicinal soup, a smile on his wickedly handsome face. "Be a dear, Sang’er, and drink your medicine. Three times a day. I’ll brew another bowl for you tonight."

"I’ll feed it to her." Si Ye helped Sang Luo sit up against the headboard and took the medicine bowl.

Fei Yuan glanced at the two of them, then left.

Si Ye sat on the edge of the bed, blew on the spoonful of soup, and fed it to her.

Sang Luo drank it in one gulp. The medicinal soup wasn’t bitter anymore; he had added a lot of sugar...

After she finished the medicine, Si Ye placed the bowl on the table, reached out to wipe the corner of her lips, and then helped her lie back down. Glancing toward the door, he said softly, "Luoluo, don’t be fooled by that scheming old phoenix. He’s after something from you; his feelings aren’t genuine!"

Sang Luo burst out laughing. "Scheming old phoenix? But you told me before that this uncle of yours has treated you well and earned your respect."

Si Ye’s face darkened. "That was then, this is now. Ever since he started having those improper thoughts about you, I don’t want to acknowledge him anymore."

’As for him, I...’ Sang Luo thought about the Top Grade elixirs Fei Yuan had. They had been so useful during her pregnancy, allowing for an almost painless, smooth delivery. She found it truly difficult to refuse him.

’Ah Ze had told her before that if she wanted to ascend to the Emperor Rank in the future, it would be best to find an Alchemist to support her. Fei Yuan was a ready-made Emperor Rank Alchemist. It would be a bit of a waste not to secure his help.’

’She just didn’t know if Fei Yuan could refine a Reincarnation Pill. If he could, she wouldn’t mind giving him a child in exchange. After all, she would be the one providing the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures; she just needed to ensure she could conceive.’

"Ah Ye, to be honest, I might have a child with him."

"You like him?" Si Ye’s voice was tinged with bitterness.

Sang Luo shook her head. "I have no feelings for Fei Yuan."

They both knew perfectly well that it was simply a matter of mutual benefit.

Fei Yuan wanted a child.

Sang Luo wanted elixirs.

A corner of a black robe flashed past the doorway.

Si Ye glanced outside the hall but said nothing. A moment later, a white paper crane half the size of a palm came flying through the air.

He caught the messenger paper crane and unfolded it to take a look.

"Who sent a message? What does it say?" Sang Luo asked.

"It’s the Beast Mother." Si Ye refolded the paper crane, casually shaping it into a small lantern and placing it on the table. "She’s anxious to see her granddaughter and wants me to bring the baby back to the Bian Clan Land immediately."

"Are you going back now?"

"No. I want to stay with you for a few more days. At the very least, I’ll wait until after I’ve taken care of you through your confinement period before I go back. She can wait."

Sang Luo replied, "...With a son like you, the Beast Mother’s heart must be broken."

"Heh, her handsome consorts and servants will soothe her broken heart," Si Ye said, completely unconcerned.

Sang Luo yawned, her voice soft and delicate. "Ah Ye, I’m going to take a nap."

"Okay, you sleep well. I’ll stay with you," he said gently.

The physical damage and exhaustion from childbirth could be alleviated with the Healing Technique and Spirit medicine and Spiritual materials, but the mental fatigue could only heal slowly over time. She was exhausted and fell asleep quickly.

Si Ye sat in the chair by the bed, picked up a book, and began to read.

A short while later, Fei Yuan walked into the hall. He went to the small wooden bed and looked at the soundly sleeping cub, his expression gentle and envious. "Such a fine child. I’d like to have one too."

’He’d been wanting one for hundreds of years.’

’To think that his little nephew, who in his eyes was still a fledgling, had a child before he did.’

Si Ye snapped his book shut, his red eyes cold and mocking. "Then you can keep on thinking about it. Maybe you’ll even have a nice dream about it tonight."

Fei Yuan walked to the bedside and gazed at the sleeping Sang Luo, his black eyes as deep as the night. "She will bear me one."

Anger flared in Si Ye’s heart. He stood up, about to slam his book down, but then he glanced at Sang Luo sleeping soundly in the bed. Controlling his temper, he placed the book gently on the table and said to Fei Yuan, "Let’s take this outside."

"Little Ye, how come I never noticed before how possessive you are?" Fei Yuan said with a sarcastic smile, his voice deep and cool. "Most of the Poisonous Gu in my body has been neutralized, while you haven’t even broken through to the Emperor Rank. You should probably consider your own strength first."

"..."

"Besides, this has nothing to do with you. It all depends on whether she is willing."

Si Ye’s clenched fist slowly lowered.

Seeing his reaction, Fei Yuan smiled. "It seems she’s already told you. In that case, Little Ye, your uncle won’t beat around the bush. I want her... womb!" His voice was low, rich, and chillingly seductive. "Her Fertility is very strong. She will definitely be able to conceive my child."

Si Ye’s expression was grim. "She will never love you."

Fei Yuan replied, "I don’t need her to."
