Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 127 - 75: Lost Her Forever

A sharp pain suddenly wracked Duotu’s heart. Immediately after, his realm of power instantly dropped from True King to Half-King Peak!

"Luoluo!" He didn’t have time to worry about the power rapidly draining from his body. He teleported back to the delivery room in a frenzy. The next second, the bouquet of purple iris flowers in his hands scattered across the floor.

With bloodshot eyes, he stumbled to the bedside, only to embrace a body that had stopped breathing.

The witch doctors were already in a state of chaos.

"This always happens. She was fine right after giving birth..."

"It’s postpartum hemorrhage!"

"The Young Master! The Young Master is fine!"

A witch doctor quickly brought the child over, but Duotu didn’t even glance at him. He held Sang Luo’s gradually cooling body tightly, covered his face, and wept bitterly.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Luoluo, I’m sorry..."

He had forced her to have this child.

He could no longer say why he had been so desperate for this child. Perhaps it wasn’t to consolidate his power, but to use the child to keep her. Instead, it had made him lose her forever.

...

In the Yalan Empire, the Queen passed away from illness, and the entire nation mourned.

It was said the Queen had unexpectedly died after childbirth.

The preliminary investigation pointed to postpartum hemorrhage.

But the Queen’s vital signs had all been normal before labor. The Beast King ordered a full investigation. A few days later, they found a clue: someone had bribed a witch doctor present at the birth to poison the Queen!

The investigation continued, and poisoned tea was discovered in the Queen’s palace... The source was ultimately traced to Prince Brent’s daughter!

Martha Brent argued her innocence repeatedly, but she was betrayed by the one closest to her.

A white-furred Male Beast from the Fox Clan, who was always by her side, accused Martha Brent on the spot of orchestrating the whole thing. He even pointed out that she had gone to the underground black market in Solro City to purchase the poison.

The Beast King personally led his men to raid the black market, where they found the receipt for Martha Brent’s poison purchase. The truth was revealed: the Queen had been murdered by poison! 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

The Beast King was furious. Martha Brent was executed on the spot, her status as a female unable to save her life. When Prince Brent learned the news, he attempted a coup for the sake of his beloved daughter, but he was betrayed by a trusted subordinate, fell into a trap, and was surrounded by layers of troops lying in wait. He was beheaded.

At the same time, the Beast King listed Prince Brent’s numerous crimes. A list of his collusions with various foreign powers was also made public. The Brent family, which had existed since the founding of the Empire and prospered for nearly a thousand years, was annihilated overnight. Their hundreds of millions in assets were all absorbed into the national treasury, and their elite private army was incorporated into the Beast King’s forces.

The monumental upheaval among the upper-class noble families became nothing more than drunken gossip for the common folk.

Inside a tavern, the most discussed topic was the series of reforms the new Beast King had implemented in the short six months since taking the throne.

He had repeatedly reformed the people’s livelihood, purged corrupt nobles, crushed the rebel army, and ordered a ban on the research of ’gene-females.’ His methods were decisive and swift, and his capabilities far surpassed the previous Beast King’s.

"Proprietor, the bill."

A black-haired youth stepped up to the counter to pay.

Compared to the burly, two-meter-tall Beastmen in the tavern, his build was rather thin and slight, as if he hadn’t yet come of age.

A few people glanced over but quickly looked away, returning to their drinking games and loud conversations.

Listening to the Beastmen’s chatter, Sang Luo almost forgot to take the change the proprietor handed her. She had spent most of her time inside the Royal Palace and had no idea Duotu had been doing so much behind the scenes.

’He’s not a good son, not a good brother, not a good person... but he is undoubtedly an excellent King.’

’In the future, he’ll probably be a good father, too.’

’The little lion will be raised well with him.’

’I can rest easy now.’

After eating and drinking her fill, Sang Luo found a random inn to rest. Before falling asleep, she reviewed everything she had done before leaving the Beast King Palace.

Thanks to her second child, the Little Mermaid, and its so-called father, she still had one use of her [Clone] ability left. It allowed her to create a clone and escape, but Duotu’s cage-like seal was still inside her, so the clone would have been easily seen through.

However, after giving birth to her second child, the Little Mermaid, Sang Luo had also gained two Talent Abilities.

[Water] and [Infinite Transfer].

The second Talent Ability was very interesting. In theory, Sang Luo could transfer the cage-like seal to her clone.

But the upper limit of a Talent Ability was largely dependent on one’s realm of power.

Before, she and Duotu had been a full major realm apart, making it impossible to use. But after giving birth to the little lion, her realm had risen to Half-King Peak. The gap between her and Duotu’s realms had shrunk to just half a step, giving her a thirty percent chance of success. It was worth a try.

’Succeed or die trying. If I really fail, then I’ll just accept my fate.’

’Thankfully, it succeeded in the end.’

’It seems even the heavens want me to leave Duotu.’

’But that alone wasn’t enough.’

’Duotu is cautious and cunning, with the same flaw as his father: he’s far too suspicious.’

’I was perfectly fine before giving birth. A sudden, violent death would definitely arouse his suspicion. If he investigated thoroughly, I might have been exposed.’

So, Sang Luo decided to use Martha Brent’s malice toward her as an extra layer of insurance for her faked death.

The last time Sang Luo went to rest in Martha Brent’s palace, she had secretly used her spiritual power to control that Fox Clan Beastman. She had him wait until the time was right to step forward and accuse Martha Brent of secretly poisoning her, thus leaving a legitimate cause of death. The escape plan was a success—flawless.

Sang Luo stretched, feeling incredibly relaxed. After resting for two days, she began to plan her next moves.

According to the information she had gathered over this long period, there were only two new-generation Innate King Beasts on the Western Continent, and she had already gotten to both of them. There was no value in staying any longer. She had to go to the other continents to find her next "upgrade target."

Sang Luo had once heard Caesar say that the Cultivation Resources on the East Continent were more abundant, and the Beastmen there should have greater strength and talent.

But before that, there was someone she wanted to find.

He was the only man she felt she owed a debt to.

Once she left, she would never return to the Western Continent. Before she went, she wanted to see how he was doing. He had given her so many Beast Crystals; she should offer something in return... Sang Luo came up with many reasons to see him, but in truth, they all felt a little hollow. She simply wanted to see him one more time.

Her true identity could no longer be used in the Yalan Empire. On the road, Sang Luo found an inconspicuous-looking passerby, used her spiritual power to control them and take a bit of their blood, then transformed her appearance. Borrowing the name of Glen Tuya, she disguised herself as a school staff member making a home visit and went to the family address for Lan Ruo that was recorded in the school’s files.

When she arrived, she was surprised to learn that Lan Cang had already left the Western Continent and gone to the North Continent.

Sang Luo had never been to the North Continent before. She had only heard its name on world maps and in the idle chatter of some Beastmen.

The North Continent was bitterly cold and harsh. Few Beastmen lived there, but from time to time, it would produce a world-shaking talent.

She decided to take a trip to the North Continent first.
