Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 111 - 67: Bear Me a Child

Quan Xiu smiled. "Your Majesty, you’re truly wronging me. She threw herself at me; I didn’t do a thing."

A flash of white light passed before Sang Luo’s eyes, and she was back in the familiar Taoyuan Village. All the attending servants had been dismissed.

Duotu slammed her against the wall, one hand gripping her chin harshly. He was clearly furious.

"He tells you to spend the night, and you just go? Didn’t you see his attitude? In his eyes, you’re nothing but a free slave, delivered right to his door for his amusement! And you’re still willing to give yourself to him?!"

’How does he know?’

Sang Luo blinked, then quickly realized what had happened.

’The verbal message must have been arranged by Duotu. What goes on in the Beast King Palace that he *doesn’t* know?’

’That intimate scene of carnal pleasure... Duotu must have deliberately let me see that, too.’

"What have you two been plotting behind my back?" Sang Luo was clearly more interested in this. She frowned at him and said irritably, "And another thing—you’re hurting me. Can you let go a little?"

This was the first time she had spoken to him all month. Duotu’s breath hitched, the ice in the depths of his eyes melted, and he sullenly let her go.

His emotions stabilized somewhat. In a low voice, he said, "I made a new deal with him. He can choose any female with high Fertility in the Empire. As long as she can give him a child, all our previous schemes will be wiped clean. He’ll take his heir and leave the Empire. But there’s one condition: his target can’t be you!"

"Then Martha Brent..."

"Martha Brent has superior Fertility, and what’s more, she’s a Seventh Rank Beastman. In theory, she can bear a King Beast’s heir." Duotu’s tone turned scornful. "She tried to drug me, so I just took advantage of the situation and sent her to him. Naturally, Quan Xiu wouldn’t refuse such a... ’kind gesture’ from me."

"So that’s why you brought Martha Brent to the Royal Palace?"

"Not entirely."

Duotu grabbed her hand and pressed it to his handsome face, his tone almost pleading. "Luoluo, Quan Xiu is not a good man. He’ll never be loyal to you. Can’t you... not choose him? Look at me. I admit my love for you was mixed with scheming, but my desire to be with you is real. Can’t we just forget the past and live a happy life together...?"

Sang Luo fell silent for a moment before pulling her hand from his grip. ’He still doesn’t understand me. I don’t have the slightest interest in Quan Xiu. Now that I have the answer I wanted, he’s become even more useless.’

’Duotu had no reason to worry. But as for the second half of his plea...’ Sang Luo raised an eyebrow, a reckless smile spreading across her face. "I’m afraid not."

’Even if he hadn’t done all those things behind her back, I would never have stayed with him forever.’

’My anger has mostly faded by now. I couldn’t be more clear on the fact that I was just using him, too. When it comes down to it, neither of us owes the other anything.’

’The only problem was that I had actually started to develop some feelings for him recently. My rage stemmed from the humiliation of being deceived. But if I just treat him as a tool in a transactional relationship, then none of it really matters.’

’Once I recognized the true nature of our relationship, I felt a sense of relief. This is how it should have been all along.’

’In the future, I’ll find more Male Beasts. If I were to give my whole heart to every single one of them, I’d have an emotional breakdown. Maintaining a mutually beneficial relationship—one both intimate and detached—is the most suitable arrangement between me and them.’

"You’re still hung up on Quan Xiu, just because his face looks like *his*? You really can’t forget him?"

"He slept with another female just to taunt you, and you’re *still* this fixated on him?"

"In your heart, I don’t compare to Caesar at all, is that it?!"

Duotu’s hands gripped her shoulders, his strength terrifying. Jealousy tore through him, a poison gnawing at his bones and heart.

"..." Sang Luo knew he’d misunderstood her, but as she watched him descend into madness, a fear she hadn’t felt in a long time crept into her heart.

’I hate this kind of overly controlling Beastman. It doesn’t matter if it was Caesar in the beginning, or Duotu, who’s breaking down and losing control right now.’

’Caesar’s controlling nature and possessiveness were always out in the open. As long as I didn’t cross his lines, he didn’t really care what I did.’

’But Duotu is an expert at hiding it. His possessiveness is clearly even more insane! It’s more than I can bear!’

’A Beast Husband who is too controlling would only become a burden and a liability.’

At that moment, Sang Luo made a firm decision. It was time to part ways with him for good. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

’Then I’ll just have to completely extinguish any hope he has!’

"You’re not even worthy of being compared to him."

Duotu froze completely, his eyes instantly turning bloodshot. He muttered "Fine. Fine. Fine," then abruptly swept her into his arms, threw her onto the bed, and began tearing off his clothes.
