Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 141 - 85: The More You Eat, The Smaller Your Belly Gets

Chapter 141: Chapter 85: The More You Eat, The Smaller Your Belly Gets

The pair walked right past the team as if no one else was around, and not a single person noticed.

[Stealthy Hunt]

Lan Cang’s second awakened Talent Skill.

"Who are these people?"

"A Bounty Team from some city. I’m not sure which one."

"I see they all have Scroll Maps. Should we go get one too?"

"There are many shops in the city that sell these kinds of Treasure Maps, but it’s hard to tell the real ones from the fakes."

"True. My eyes are more reliable anyway."

Lan Cang carried her on his back, strolling along leisurely. With their comfortable and relaxed atmosphere, it was almost as if they were on a honeymoon.

After ascending to King Rank, Lan Cang’s beast form had grown a size larger, now almost six or seven meters long. His pitch-black body was entwined with golden patterns. Due to the cold of the North Continent, the fur of his wolf-like form had also grown thicker and more luxuriant.

When Sang Luo got tired of traveling, she would just lie on his back and sleep.

More than half of her body sank into the soft fur on his back, pressed against his warm, heat-radiating frame. Lan Cang walked so steadily that she never had to worry about falling off.

...

"Luoluo, we’re here."

After walking for an unknown amount of time, Lan Cang stopped and called out to her.

Sang Luo woke up, wrapped her arms around his neck, and looked ahead.

An endless, azure lake stretched out before them. It wasn’t frozen, and lush water plants grew along its shore, vibrantly green. She could faintly make out plump fish and shrimp swimming about. For a moment, she almost thought they had left the North Continent. "Where are we?"

"The lair of the Profound Ice Lin Turtle Beast."

Lan Cang found a safe spot nearby, carried her to a smooth rock to rest, and then teleported to the lakeshore.

Sang Luo had become very drowsy ever since getting pregnant, but sensing that a fierce battle was about to begin, she forced her eyes open. She released her spiritual power to observe the activity by the lake.

She saw Lan Cang standing suspended in mid-air. Formidable lightning gathered in his palm, and he viciously struck the lake’s surface with it.

"BOOM!"

A colossal wave dozens of meters high erupted from the lake, forcing the giant beast hidden in its depths to surface.

It was a giant turtle Star Beast, as large as a small mountain.

The turtle beast’s skin was covered in black and blue scales that glinted with a cold, sinister light, appearing indestructible.

It opened its mouth and condensed a wave of energy, shooting it straight at Lan Cang. At the same time, myriad Ice needles formed over the lake’s surface, enough to instantly turn a person into a pincushion!

Lan Cang’s figure abruptly vanished from the air. He reappeared behind the giant beast, his Thunder Power forming a Longsword. He thrust it into the beast’s long neck, but the scales deflected most of the force, preventing it from striking a vital point.

The two quickly became locked in a fierce struggle.

The Profound Ice Lin Turtle Beast was a notch stronger, but while its massive size was an advantage, it also came with a clear disadvantage: it was too slow. In his human form, Lan Cang was like an ant before it, nimble enough to evade most of its fatal attacks.

A white fog suddenly rose from the lake, growing thicker and thicker. The Profound Ice Lin Turtle Beast vanished from sight. Lan Cang’s movements slowed; his vision, sense of smell, and perception were all obscured by an invisible force, leaving him completely blind.

With her spiritual power, Sang Luo saw the Star Beast suddenly appear behind him. She flashed over and shouted, "Behind you!"

"CRASH!"

The instant the Profound Ice Lin Turtle Beast’s mountain-like claws came down, Lan Cang vanished from his spot. The blow landed on a glacier by the lake, causing it to crack and shatter. Boulders tumbled down with an earth-shattering roar!

"To your left! Up, thirty meters!"

"SHLICK!" Locating his target, Lan Cang thrust his sword forward and pierced its vital point. With a thunderous crash, the giant beast toppled backward into the lake.

The white fog slowly dissipated.

A short while later, Lan Cang returned. He was soaking wet, clearly having just climbed out of the icy water. He transformed into his wolf form and shook his body, flinging off most of the ice-cold water from his fur. After Sang Luo dried him completely with her Fire Spiritual Power, he changed back to his human form and fed her a translucent white Beast Crystal with silver patterns.

After eating it, Sang Luo felt a pleasant warmth spread through her belly. It was incredibly comfortable. "This Beast Crystal... it’s different from the ones I’ve eaten before."

"A very small number of King Rank Star Beasts possess a special Rule Talent. This Star Beast was one of them," Lan Cang explained. "It can help our children awaken their talents."

’Good stuff!’

"Let’s use this as the standard for finding food from now on!"

"Okay." Lan Cang wished she could eat even more.

After catching a few plump fish from the lake, Lan Cang roasted them to satisfy her cravings before they continued on their journey.

Over the next month, they found two more King Rank Star Beasts with Rule Talents, but such things were exceedingly rare and could only be chanced upon, not sought out.

However, Sang Luo also found many top-grade Spirit Rank spiritual materials, and she ate them all.

As the days went by, her belly, paradoxically, seemed to get smaller the more she ate.

Her belly had just started to show a slight bump, but after consuming all the high-grade Spiritual Treasures and Beast Pills recently, it had flattened out again. A flicker of panic went through her.

’Could it be... because I forced myself to eat all those spiritual materials... the children couldn’t handle it, and I accidentally...?’

Lan Cang quickly comforted her. "Don’t worry, the children are fine. I can feel their spiritual fluctuations, and they’re growing very healthily!"

’Then there’s only one other possibility: the bloodline of the children in this pregnancy has been purified and upgraded.’

’My efforts actually worked!’

’This... this is an incredibly good omen!’

Sang Luo was instantly re-energized. She continued to urge Lan Cang to find even more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Wherever the pair went, they left a trail in their wake, plucking a feather from every passing goose.

By the third month, her belly finally began to show again. From that day on, Lan Cang no longer let her walk. Sang Luo spent her days nestled on his back, leaving everything for him to handle.

Sang Luo simply transformed into a small mouse, perched on his head, and scratched his tall wolf ears.

Lan Cang’s ear twitched.

He walked to the edge of a lake and looked at his reflection, utterly surprised. "Luoluo, your original form is from the Mouse Clan?"

"No, I have a shapeshifting Talent Ability. I can change my form anytime I want. It’s quite convenient."

As she spoke, she turned into a little white rabbit, then, after a moment’s thought, a little white fox.

Lan Cang didn’t recognize the white rabbit, but he did recognize the white fox’s beast form. It was Aliya, the youngest daughter from Snow Moon City. ’She can even turn into that?’

"Can you turn into a wolf?"

Sang Luo nipped his neck, jumped to the ground, and transformed into a black wolf nearly identical to him. She shook out her fur, eager to try. "Cangcang, come on! Change into your human form, and I’ll carry you!"

"..."

Lan Cang forced her to change back, turning her into a tiny little black mouse. She perched on top of his head, her color blending in perfectly with his fur until she was practically invisible.

"What is your true form, anyway?"

Sang Luo clutched at his fur, burrowed close to his ear, and whispered in a low voice, "Cangcang, I have a secret I’ve been keeping from you."

"Hm? What secret?"

"Actually... I’m a Male Beast. I deliberately transformed into a beautiful female to seduce you. The ’me’ you first saw in Ice-breaking City was my real form."

He laughed in exasperation. "We’re already having children. Even if you were a Male Beast, I’d accept it!"

"Hahahaha." Her laughter was unrestrained.

The days on the road were not boring.
