Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 377 - 316: How About Having a Child for Me?

Chapter 377: Chapter 316: How About Having a Child for Me?

A frail little boy lay in bed. "Divine Sister, my sickness... is it never going to get better?"

"That’s not true."

"I heard the Servants talking. They said I don’t have long to live..."

"You’re going to live a long and happy life."

"Could you hold me and take me for a walk outside? I’ve lived this long and I’ve never seen the color of the sun, or the color of the sky..."

"The sunlight is like your hair, and the sky is the color of your eyes."

...

When Sang Luo woke, the fragments of her dream were already fading. The figures within it were ethereal, as if veiled in a faint white light.

She couldn’t recall the dream’s contents, only that she felt utterly exhausted from the sleep, even more tired than before she’d gone to bed.

"Luo’er, we’re here."

Fei Yuan slowly descended onto the iceberg. The majestic Imperial Palace stood there, built block by block from glacial ice that would not melt for a thousand years. It was a stunning sight.

Sang Luo composed herself and flew down from the Phoenix’s back, landing on the ground. Fei Yuan also transformed into his human form and took her hand, leading her forward.

The Northern Beast Emperor was already there with his people to welcome them.

"It’s been a while, Cang Qian."

"Yes. It seems we only see each other on occasions like this."

Fei Yuan introduced him to Sang Luo. "Luo’er, this is the Northern Beast Emperor, Cang Qian, the Qilin Clan Beast Emperor. He’s an old geezer who’s lived for nearly two thousand years. He also broke through to the Supreme Realm a few days ago."

"..." Sang Luo looked at the Northern Beast Emperor. He had a tall, burly frame, short, ash-gray hair, and a handsome, sharp-featured face. He looked rather cold and unapproachable.

Cang Qian paid no mind to Fei Yuan’s teasing. His gaze fell on Sang Luo, and he asked with some surprise, "And this is...?"

"My mate, Sang Luo. She’s here to visit the North for a few days."

"A pleasure to meet you, Sister-in-law." Cang Qian’s tone was cold and stiff as he extended a broad palm.

Cang Qian and Fei Yuan were martial brothers, and usually addressed each other as such. Calling her "Sister-in-law" was perfectly logical.

Sang Luo politely shook his hand. "May the Beast Emperor be well."

"The wind and snow outside are too strong. A banquet has been prepared inside the palace to welcome you both. Please, come in." He gestured for them to enter.

The palace was built from ice several meters thick. It looked cold from the outside, but it was quite warm upon entering. The thick ice walls blocked out the fierce, blizzard-like winds.

The variety of food in the North couldn’t compare to other regions, much like the North Continent. Indeed, the North and the North Continent were only separated by a sea, making them quite close.

Sang Luo released the children from her space. "This is the Northern Beast Emperor, Uncle Cang Qian. Darlings, come and say hello to your uncle."

The little cubs said obediently, "Hello, Uncle Cang Qian!"

"May Uncle Cang Qian be well!"

Cang Qian stared, his eyes wide, as a whole swarm of children ran out. There was a Wolf Beast, a Soaring Snake, a Merfolk, a lion, a Bian, a Phoenix chick... "These... these children... you gave birth to all of them?"

"If I didn’t give birth to them, who did? Don’t I look like them?" Sang Luo teased with a smile.

Cang Qian reined in his shock, a profound look flashing in the depths of his eyes as he gazed at her.

The attendants beside him all knew what was going on. Beast Emperor Cang Qian’s harem wasn’t particularly large or small, but for many years, it had produced no offspring. A male’s instinct is to procreate, but exceptionally talented King Beasts had great difficulty siring children. A few years ago, word spread that the Central Phoenix Emperor had an heir—a litter with both a male and female cub, no less. This news spurred the other Beast Emperors to expand their own harems in hopes of producing heirs, but most had seen no results.

A female with such outstanding Fertility was an immense temptation for any male King Beast.

Fei Yuan noticed the somewhat feverish look in Cang Qian’s eyes as he gazed at Sang Luo. As a fellow male, he naturally understood what it meant. He wrapped an arm around Sang Luo’s waist, pulling her into his embrace, and looked at Cang Qian with a half-smile. "Brother Cang Qian, we are martial brothers, after all. On a day like this, there are some things I’d rather not say too explicitly."

"Not say what too explicitly?" Sang Luo turned her head to look at him.

"Nothing. Just a little reminder for Little Luoruo not to get any funny ideas." Fei Yuan pinched her cheek and whispered in her ear, "Cang Qian’s talent is quite good, and he’s also at the Supreme Realm. Are you thinking of taking him?"

Cang Qian looked over as well, a hint of expectation in his eyes.

Sang Luo’s face turned red. She pinched his arm hard. ’How dare he ask that so seriously!’ "Ahem! Stop joking around." She replied with her thoughts, ’Am I that kind of fickle female?! It’s not like I fall in love with every man I see!’

’My standards are very high, you know!’

’Besides, I’m not planning to take any more Beast Husbands right now. And Cang Qian isn’t even my type. He’s not as handsome as my other husbands.’

Fei Yuan nodded in understanding. "Good, as long as you don’t like him. That puts my mind at ease."

Cang Qian lowered his head and said nothing. He drank a cup of strong liquor, then refilled their cups. "Please, try the food here."

Not having anticipated they would bring children along to mooch a meal, Cang Qian had his servants bring stools for the children and prepare bowls and utensils for each of them.

"Thank you for your hospitality, Northern Beast Emperor. In that case, the children and I won’t stand on ceremony."

"Please, make yourselves at home. Noble female Sang Luo, if you don’t mind, you are welcome to stay here at the Ice Palace for the time being."

"Oh, thank you so much!"

Cang Qian specially assigned people to prepare several rooms for her and the children.

Fei Yuan said, "Prepare one less. Luo’er can just stay in my room."

Cang Qian replied, "Most of the rooms in the Ice Palace are cramped, and the beds aren’t large. Are you two sure you want to share one room?"

Sang Luo thought for a moment. "It’s fine. Squeezing in will be warmer!"

Fei Yuan smiled in satisfaction.

Cang Qian didn’t say anything more and had a slightly larger room prepared for the two of them.

So, Sang Luo settled into the Ice Palace for the next few days, taking the children out to play every day. When the day of the Priest’s ritual arrived, both Cang Qian and Fei Yuan had to leave for two days.

Sang Luo took the children out to play, but they were caught in a major blizzard. When she returned, she had a bit of a runny nose and was sneezing a lot.

"The palace has a special hot spring. Would the noble female like to take the children for a soak?"

"Oh, that would be wonderful. Thank you."

"There’s no need to be so polite. His Majesty said we are to treat you two as the masters of this palace. Noble female, there is no need to feel restrained. You may treat the Royal Palace as your own home."

The attendant led Sang Luo and the children to the indoor hot spring.

As soon as Sang Luo entered, the door closed behind her.

White steam filled the hot spring, and the air was warm and pleasant.

Sang Luo walked to the edge of the pool, but was surprised to see a figure in the distance. Her expression turned strange. "Beast Emperor Cang Qian? What are you doing here? Didn’t you go with Fei Yuan to the Priest’s ritual?"

"The ritual is over. I just got back." Cang Qian walked toward her, taking off his outer robe.

"...What is the meaning of this, Beast Emperor?"

"How about you bear me an heir?" He no longer hid his intentions, his gaze burning as he stared at her.

"Does Fei Yuan know about this?" The smile on Sang Luo’s face faded.

"As long as you’re willing, it doesn’t matter whether he agrees or not."

"I’m sorry, but I am not willing."

"How will you know how good I am if you don’t try?" Just as Cang Qian’s hand was about to touch her shoulder, the person before him suddenly vanished! His face was a mask of horror.
