Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 120 - 70: First Morning Sickness

Sang Luo looked at him earnestly. "Rest assured, Your Majesty. I will not leave before the child is born."

’She certainly wasn’t going to fend for herself.’

No matter what Duotu had done, when it came to raising this child, he had a duty to provide enough Beast Crystals and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures throughout her pregnancy. Sang Luo wasn’t foolish enough to choose this moment to run.

"Yes, I heard from Amman that you’ve taken a liking to reading lately. I’ve had someone collect some rare books for you. Is there anything you’d like to see?"

Duotu took her to the Imperial Book Pavilion in the Beast King Palace. It was enormous, comparable to a provincial library, with a vast and varied collection of books.

Sang Luo scanned the room. There were books of almost every kind. ’Originally, she’d wanted to find some useful Array Formation Books, or perhaps a secret technique to remove the imprisonment seal...’ Walking up to a bookshelf, she casually pulled out a book on prenatal education. "I hear that live-born cubs are the most difficult to deliver. I should read up and see what I need to be careful of."p>

"I’m the one who should be reading that. You just need to rest." Duotu breathed a silent sigh of relief, took the book from Sang Luo’s hand, and kissed her cheek. "This must be hard on you, Luoluo."

With the coming of this child, their relationship seemed to have returned to how it once was, but Sang Luo knew in her heart that the chasm between them could never be bridged.

They were both just putting on an act.

’During her pregnancy, she didn’t want any major emotional turmoil. Otherwise, she’d be the only one to suffer.’

After reading for a while, Sang Luo suddenly felt a wave of nausea. She slumped over the table, her face pale.

Duotu quickly put down his book. "Luoluo, what’s wrong?"

"It’s nothing," Sang Luo said. "Just a bit nauseous. I feel like I’m going to be sick."

Duotu had actually been poring over pregnancy guides recently. When he saw her state, he realized it at once. "You’re having morning sickness."

"But I didn’t have it the last two times!"

"...Perhaps it’s because this is a live birth. The pregnancy symptoms are more pronounced."

And he turned out to be right.

Two to three months into the pregnancy, as her belly grew more pronounced, Sang Luo’s morning sickness kicked in, leaving her feeling utterly miserable.

During her previous two pregnancies, she had eaten everything with relish. Jerky, Beast Crystals, Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—she could eat anything. But with this pregnancy, even though her stomach was painfully empty, she couldn’t bring herself to eat. The moment she did, she felt the urge to vomit.

But the worst part was her swollen, tender breasts.

Sang Luo, wearing a white silk nightgown, looked in the bathroom mirror. She frowned, gently rubbing her chest. HISS! The slightest touch sent a sharp pang of pain through the swollen area. Massaging it like this was the only thing that brought the slightest relief.

"Luoluo~"

Duotu suddenly appeared in the bedroom, carrying a bowl of freshly prepared medicinal soup. He froze when he saw her, and the tips of his ears flushed bright red.

Their relationship was such that he didn’t need to knock. Duotu was used to coming and going as he pleased, and normally it would have been fine. But being caught like this made Sang Luo’s face flush, and she snapped in annoyance,

"Get out! I don’t want to see you!"

’Her temper was getting worse by the day!’

Duotu quickly placed the medicinal soup on the table, walked over, and hugged her, apologizing without a second thought. "I’m sorry, Luoluo. It was my fault."

"...Hmph!" Furious, she bit down hard on the solid muscle of his shoulder. ’He was the cause of all her suffering, both emotional and physical. And his cub was the worst tormentor of all!’

"I... I can massage them for you?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶

’Carrying a child was hard work. He wanted to do everything in his power to take care of her.’

Sang Luo’s laugh was sharp with anger. "Are you just looking for an excuse to get your hands on me?"

Blushing, Duotu carried her to the bed and gently began to massage her.

’It really did help a lot.’

So Sang Luo let him. Whenever the discomfort returned every few days, she would even proactively call him over.p>

Thankfully, after another two months, Sang Luo’s morning sickness symptoms had lessened considerably, and the pregnancy had stabilized.

Now, all she had to do was wait for the birth.

Sang Luo returned to her old pregnancy habit of eating and drinking to her heart’s content. Perhaps because she’d had to restrain herself for the past two months, the fetus hadn’t received enough nutrients, and her appetite was even greater than during her previous two pregnancies.

She could eat and sleep well, and as her body grew more comfortable, her mood gradually stabilized. Duotu breathed a huge sigh of relief. At least he wouldn’t be getting chewed out every day.

Sang Luo took his hand. "Your Majesty, would you like to feel? It’s growing very well."

Duotu’s hand gently came to rest on her round belly. ’It was miraculous,’ he thought. ’A child was developing in here—their child, their offspring.’

"Can you guess how many there are, Your Majesty?" Sang Luo asked.

"One is enough." A flicker of worry crossed Duotu’s eyes. He could tell this pregnancy was much harder on her than the previous two, which meant there was a greater chance of complications.

One cub would be manageable, but more could easily lead to a difficult birth.

"I trust that with Your Majesty here, I’ll be fine. I’ll make sure the baby is born safely," Sang Luo murmured, nestling into his embrace with a soft smile.

Duotu looked down at her gentle, serene face. His breathing softened, and he hardly dared to blink. Reaching out, he gently stroked her cheek. "I promise I’ll take good care of you and the baby."

He couldn’t help but start fantasizing about their happy family life in the future.
