Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 219 - 163: First Birthday Ceremony

Sang Luo’s neck, her arms... everywhere hidden beneath her clothes, was covered in romantic red marks.

She shot a resentful glare at the satisfied and cheerful Si Ye. ’That guy must have secretly been studying up on certain things.’ The longer they went on, the more skilled he became, mastering the rhythm to please her and touching places that made her very soul tremble uncontrollably. It was a world of difference from his first fumbling, awkward attempt. It was pure ecstasy and torment, more than she could handle.

Sang Luo had wanted to use her Healing Technique to remove the marks, but Si Ye stubbornly refused, not even letting her cover them with powder.

"I’m hungry."

"I’ll take you to the dining hall to eat," Si Ye said, eagerly leading her over.

Sang Luo ordered plenty of fine wine and good food, all of her favorite dishes.

They also happened to run into Fei Yuan.

Fei Yuan walked over, his gaze sweeping over the newlyweds. The sweet atmosphere between them was so thick an outsider couldn’t possibly get in. His eyes then fell on the red marks on Sang Luo’s neck, and his expression darkened. When he saw the several large, empty plates on her table, his face grew even more strange. "...Pregnant again?"

"Pfft! No, no, I’m just really hungry." ’Why do I suddenly feel a little guilty?’

Fei Yuan’s expression finally softened. He smiled at the two of them. "Would you mind if your uncle joins you for breakfast?"

Si Ye said, "What are you doing here, butting in?"

He was referring to the matter at the wedding banquet.

He knew this old phoenix’s nature. He would never join in on the fun for no reason. Fei Yuan clearly had ulterior motives!

Si Ye sat on Sang Luo’s right, so Fei Yuan sat down on her left. Seeing her take several bites of the cold-tossed bamboo shoots, he also picked one up to taste it. ’Spicy and sour,’ he thought. ’So this is the flavor she likes.’

"Si Jing can’t be bothered with you now, which makes you the sole heir of my Phoenix Clan. If I have no children of my own, you will inherit my position in the future. Naturally, this Emperor must keep a close eye on you, so attending your wedding banquet was only proper."

As he said this, Fei Yuan smiled and looked at Sang Luo.

She kept her head down, shoveling rice into her mouth and pretending not to see.

Si Ye watched the two of them, his handsome face falling. But then he remembered what Sang Luo had said before and held back, silently placing more food on her plate.

Fei Yuan didn’t bother them further and ate quietly. However, the dishes he sampled were all the ones Sang Luo was eating most enthusiastically, and he made sure to taste the flavor of each one.

After the meal was over, Fei Yuan said, "I’ve been away from the Imperial City for a few days, and a lot of official business has piled up. This Emperor should be heading back."

He looked at Sang Luo, his voice low and pleasant, with a hint of intimacy. "Little Luoruo, don’t forget our agreement..."

After speaking, his figure teleported and vanished. Si Ye turned to look at Sang Luo. "What agreement do you have with him?"

"It’s... that..." Sang Luo silently stuffed a meatball into her mouth, her words muffled. "Didn’t I mention it to you before?"

Si Ye’s heart soured. "Are you really planning to have a child for him?"

"Yes, I want the Reincarnation Pill he has."

Si Ye said nothing, shoveling a mouthful of rice into his mouth. He didn’t trust Fei Yuan’s character, but he had to admit his talent and power. The Reincarnation Pill... in this world today, he was probably the only one who could possibly refine it.

Si Ye asked, "Will you fall in love with him?"

Sang Luo shook her head. "No. Ours is a purely transactional exchange. We even made a Heavenly Dao Oath."

Si Ye knew he couldn’t stop her now. Once a Heavenly Dao Oath was made, the matter could not be changed.

"Then after the child is born, I’ll raise it."

"...Do the Male Beasts of your family have a tradition of snatching children?"

"Hmph!"

...

The afterglow of the wedding lasted for more than half a month before the city returned to its usual tranquility.

Sang Luo was in the hall, video chatting with her three Wolf Pups.

"Mommy, what’s that pastry you’re eating? It looks so yummy, I want some too!"

"This is pear and osmanthus cake. When Mommy comes back next time, I’ll bring a few boxes for you."

"Mommy’s the best!"

After chatting a little longer, it was time for the pups’ lessons, so they hung up.

She hadn’t been back to the North Continent in over half a year, but she often video-called the pups. Watching them grow bigger and their speech become clearer, Sang Luo was often amused by the little trio’s innocent words. The children’s individual personalities were also becoming more distinct. Aside from their beast forms, on the inside they were more like three lively and adorable human children.

Over the past few months, Sang Luo had frequently received good news from the children.

Lan Cang had not been idle for nearly a year. Internally, he mined for resources, developed businesses, and built up his army. Externally, he took in Beastmen, annexed war-torn lands, and expanded his influence. He now had over a dozen cities under his command, all developing well. Including Ice-breaking City, he had a total of three main cities with populations exceeding one hundred thousand. In the sparsely populated North Continent, this was considered an invincible force, causing many other powers to become wary.

Lan Cang knew Sang Luo also had a home in the East Continent, so he rarely disturbed her on normal days. He just quietly focused on his cultivation and expanding his territory... His uncompetitive and undemanding nature did make it easy for her to overlook him.

And indeed, she hadn’t seen him in a long time.

During one call, Zhuizui said, "Mommy, at the end of this month, it’s our first anniversary. Dad asked me to ask..."

Little Stone quickly covered his big mouth. "Did you forget? Dad specifically told us not to mention his name, so it wouldn’t seem like he’s deliberately vying for favor! Mommy will be unhappy!"

Sang Luo, who had heard the whole thing, "..." She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. "Alright, whether it’s your dad or you three, what did you want to ask me?"

"Mommy, for our anniversary ceremony this time, are you coming back?"

Zhi Xin’s magnified furry head pressed against the Jade Scroll, nudging the screen with his small pink nose. He whined coaxingly, "Mommy hasn’t been back in so long. I want Mommy to hold me while I sleep~"

Sang Luo’s heart melted into a puddle. "I’m coming back, I’m coming back! Mommy will definitely be back before your anniversary ceremony! And I’ll bring you gifts!"

Si Ye, wearing a robe, came in carrying a plate of cut fruit and milk just as Sang Luo ended the call. She turned her head and said to him, "In a few days, I’m going back to the North Continent to see my wolf husband and the children for their anniversary ceremony. Do you want to come with me?"

"No. I don’t want to go." Si Ye placed the things on the table, then walked away, turning to go sleep in the study.

"..." ’Then I’ll go by myself,’ she thought.

「A few days later」

Sang Luo returned to Ice-breaking City. It was the same world of ice and snow as always, but it felt much more alive than the last time she was here. The city was more bustling, and there were noticeably more Beastmen on the streets.

As soon as she walked into the City Lord Mansion, the pups heard her familiar footsteps and ran out at once to greet her enthusiastically.

"Mommy’s little treasures! No, I should say big treasures now!" Sang Luo scooped up the little white wolf who had rushed to the front, holding him under his forelegs. Held upright, he was already half as tall as she was!

It wasn’t so obvious on video. She hadn’t expected them to get so big!

Sang Luo couldn’t stop stroking Little Zhi Xin’s fluffy, soft silver fur as she walked into the house, calling out,

"Cangcang... Hm? He’s not in the living room?"

She looked around but didn’t see him, so she asked the three little pups, "Where’s your dad? Did he go to the study?"

’Strange. In the past, whenever I came back, Lan Cang would always be out to greet me before I even stepped through the door.’

Sang Luo searched all over the house, inside and out, but still couldn’t find Lan Cang.

Little Stone said, "Dad left the day before yesterday and hasn’t come back. We don’t know where he went either."
