Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 130 - 76: First Arrival in the North Continent

According to the Beastmen of the Hunting Team, Ice-breaking City was one of the more developed main cities on the North Continent, yet its scale was only comparable to a mid-sized city on the Western Continent.

Only tens of thousands of Beastmen lived in the city, leaving the roads feeling wide and desolate.

Not long after entering the city, they ran into another team.

It wasn’t an accidental encounter; the other party had deliberately sought them out. Sang Luo saw that the team was led by an Ice Lizard Beastman. When he saw their group, his strange, vertical pupils darted about before he led his men straight toward them. "Hu Che, long time no see. I still remember it like it was yesterday—how you left me seriously wounded!"

"What do you want?" Hu Che asked in a deep voice.

The team had just been through several vicious battles and wasn’t in good shape. They had planned to find a place to rest and recover upon arriving in the city. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

Everyone was on high alert.

"Oh, don’t look at me like that. I don’t want any trouble. It’d be nice if we could all just get along. Just hand over all the spoils from your hunt, and I’ll be willing to let bygones be bygones and let you all walk away."

"In your dreams!" someone cursed. "We worked our asses off for this prey, why the hell should we give it to you!"

"Heh heh, if you don’t know what’s good for you, then we’ll let our strength do the talking. This prey belongs to whoever is strong enough to take it!"

An Ice Giant Worm was worth ten thousand Beast Crystals. Who could resist such a temptation?

Sang Luo could see what was happening. The two captains already had a grudge, and with this provocation, the two teams immediately started brawling in the city. They knocked over several public structures, drawing a crowd of Beastman onlookers, yet not a single one stepped in to stop the fight.

The Beastmen on their side were exhausted and quickly lost the upper hand. Fortunately, the city’s patrol arrived in time and stopped the two teams from continuing their fight.

"Fighting between Beastmen is forbidden within Ice-breaking City! You have damaged public property and disturbed the peace! Men! Take both of these teams away and lock them in prison for half a month to reflect!"

Sang Luo, who hadn’t lifted a finger and was an innocent party dragged into the mess, was speechless.

’I’ve only been here for a few days, and I’m already going to prison?!’

Suddenly, the commotion up ahead died down, and a tall, imposing man emerged from the crowd.

The patrol Beastman saw the man and immediately reported respectfully, "Lord City Lord! Two Bounty Teams were stirring up trouble, but we’ve already stopped the fight. There were no casualties. As per the regulations, they are to be fined and then imprisoned for half a month."

"Mm."

That voice was low, husky, and magnetic, full of masculine charm.

Sang Luo’s ears tingled at the sound. She subconsciously looked through the crowd, and for a moment, her breath caught in her throat.

The man wore a black, hooded cloak. He was tall and slender, his presence as still and deep as the dead of night. Just by standing there, he effortlessly commanded everyone’s attention, exuding an icy aura that warned all to keep their distance.

From Sang Luo’s angle, half of his face was covered by black cloth, revealing a hard, smooth jawline that practically begged to be uncovered.

Suddenly, he glanced in her direction.

A sudden gust of cold wind lifted the cloth, revealing his aloof, handsome features. His eyes, narrowed slightly, held a chilling, ruthless sharpness—a killing intent forged in the crucible of countless life-and-death battles. It radiated an intense, overwhelming sense of aggression and intimidation!

Tears welled in Sang Luo’s eyes. She... hadn’t seen him in so long.

Lan Cang was much more mature and composed than he had been a year ago. He was also taller and more imposing. Even through his heavy clothes, the powerful, formidable lines of his muscles were visible, exuding a breathtaking masculine tension!

...

Lan Cang had been about to leave, but he seemed to sense something. He stopped and swept his gaze across the crowd.

But he didn’t see the familiar figure he had longed for day and night.

He lowered his head and scoffed. ’What am I thinking? How could she possibly be here?’

Just as he was about to walk away, a voice called out,

"Lan Cang!"

His body went rigid. Before he could even react, someone threw their arms around him in a tight embrace.

Sang Luo, unable to control her emotions, had thrown herself at him. She had wanted to have a proper, intimate reunion, but the next second, she was shoved away without a shred of mercy.

She looked up, stunned, meeting the man’s cold, dangerous eyes.

Lan Cang’s thin lips curled as he ordered coldly, "Men, seize him."

"Who is this person? How dare he offend the Lord City Lord!"

"His motives are suspicious! He must be an infiltrator from another city! Seize him on the spot! Don’t let him get away!"

Sang Luo’s eyes widened as she quickly realized what was happening. She was still in disguise; Lan Cang must have mistaken her for some rogue Male Beast who’d appeared out of nowhere.

"Wait, I’m actually..."
