Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 147 - 91: In the Beast World, It’s Very Common for Brothers to Share One Female

Chapter 147: Chapter 91: In the Beast World, It’s Very Common for Brothers to Share One Female

"Yes, my brother already gave me a heads-up. I’ll be sure to keep your secret safe, Senior. I won’t breathe a word, so don’t you worry!" Lan Ruo said with a pure and endearing smile, two faint dimples appearing on his cheeks.

As for their relationship, Lan Ruo had guessed it long ago. He had never seen his brother care so much about a female. He had previously assumed his brother had been dumped by her, but now it seemed there was more to the story. Still, there was no need for him to ask. Seeing them so happy together, with a whole litter of little cubs, filled his heart with joy.

"The academy is on break for two months, so I plan to stay here on the North Continent for a while instead of going back. I can help look after the kids."

"That would be such a huge help! Thank you so much!"

"Haha, no need to thank me. I’m the lucky one, having three adorable little nephews! I’ll look after them as if they were my own!" Lan Ruo really loved the little cubs. The smile never left his face, tinged with an envy he couldn’t quite hide.

Catching the look from Lan Cang, he took the hint and smiled at the three little cubs. "How about your uncle takes you out to play?"

With that, he shifted into his beast form and led the little cubs outside.

Sang Luo watched them leave and commented pointedly, "Our second cub’s fur looks a bit like Little Ru’s."

"Zhuizui’s fur is a bit reddish-orange, while Little Ru’s is grayer—our Wolf Clan’s most primitive coloring. His downy fur right after he was born did look a lot like Little Ru’s as a cub, but they don’t look very similar anymore," Lan Cang said with a laugh. "Their personalities couldn’t be more different, either. Little Ru has always been shy and introverted, but that one is so much more energetic. You can tell he’s a natural social butterfly. Everyone in the household adores him and is always sneaking him treats."

"So that’s why! I’ve been so strict about his portions, yet he just keeps getting chubbier!" Sang Luo pressed a hand to her forehead. "These three cubs are getting more and more rowdy. Thank goodness Little Ru is here to help out. It’s such a relief."

"Wolf Clan cubs are just naturally lively and mischievous when they’re young, with a bit too much energy. Once they’re a little older, you might even find yourself missing these days."

Lan Cang pulled his gaze from the doorway and smiled at her. "Are you hungry? I’ll go make dinner."

Sang Luo’s gaze landed on his sharp, coolly handsome features. She reached out, tilting his chin up, her eyes turning sultry. "I am... a little hungry..."

She wanted to devour him, and she wasn’t being subtle about it.

The two of them hadn’t been intimate in a long time, not since the children were born. Lan Cang could barely restrain himself any longer. His eyes blazed with sudden heat as he wrapped an arm around her soft waist, pulling her into his embrace and lowering his head to capture her lips.

After a few moments of passion, he swept her up and carried her to their room.

...

That evening, Lan Ruo returned with the cubs, all tired out from playing. Lan Cang had just finished making dinner.

Standing at the doorway, Sang Luo called out into the yard, "Come on in, little cubs, it’s time for dinner! Little Ru, you should join us too!"

Lan Ruo stood in the yard. When he looked at her, a faint blush crept onto his refined, handsome face, and he seemed a little shy. "I..."

He started to speak, but upon seeing Lan Cang walk over, he quickly shook his head. "No, it’s alright. I have something else to do, so I’ll eat out."

"Alright, you go ahead and take care of your business then. Just know there’s always a place for you at our table. You’re welcome to come eat with us anytime."

"Okay. Thank you, Senior."

He gave Sang Luo a shy smile before leaving.

Lan Cang’s gaze shifted between the two of them, his expression thoughtful.

At the dinner table, Lan Cang placed a piece of meat on Sang Luo’s plate. "Luoluo," he said softly, "what do you think of Little Ru?"

"Huh? He’s great. A very sensible kid."

"A kid? He’s no kid. He came of age last month. Besides, Male Beasts mature very early." 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖

"Hm?" Sang Luo shot him a quizzical look, unsure of what he was getting at.

"If... if you like him, you can have him. I can accept my own brother..." His voice dropped to a near whisper.

Sang Luo nearly spat out her food. She balled her hand into a fist and gave his chest a light thump. "Are you kidding me?"

"It’s always ’Brother’ this and ’Senior’ that. Have you ever once heard him call you sister-in-law? I raised that boy. You think I can’t see what’s on his mind?"

"Uh... now that you mention it, no." She had wondered about it before—why Little Ru always called her Senior. She’d figured it was just a habit since they met at the academy, never imagining this was the reason. Sang Luo took a bite of food, frustrated. "You need to talk to him. I’m not interested."

’Little Ru is pure and handsome, but he’s just not my type.’

’Besides, I have no desire to be the filling in a brother sandwich! That’s just depraved! Perverted!’

"Alright. I was just asking. If you did happen to like him, I could accept it. But it’s for the best that you don’t. Personally, I don’t want to share you with anyone."

Lan Cang let out a sigh of relief, his smile becoming more genuine. "You don’t have to feel pressured. It’s perfectly normal for a female to have many admirers, especially her mate’s brothers. They have more opportunities to interact, so it’s easy for them to develop feelings."

"Little Ru isn’t necessarily in love with you, but he definitely has a crush and looks up to you. I heard him mention once that you helped him during a tournament. If it weren’t for you, he might never have gotten into the Imperial Academy, which he’d been dreaming of. In a way, you saved his life."

’She saved his life, she’s beautiful, and she’s gentle...’

Lan Cang sighed. He knew all too well how immensely attractive Luoluo was to young Male Beasts just experiencing their first stirrings of love.

’If he were in his brother’s shoes, he would have fallen for her too.’

Every Male Beast feels jealousy and possessiveness; for a King Beast, those feelings are only stronger. However, for the sake of survival and procreation, most Male Beasts wouldn’t refuse having more mated brothers in the family. Some even take the initiative to help their female find others, all to strengthen the family’s power.

In the Beast World, it was even more common for brothers to share a single female mate.

Brothers who had known each other for years could work together in perfect concert. Compared to unrelated Beast Husbands, they were far less likely to argue or have conflicts.

As a Male Beast himself, Lan Cang recognized his younger brother’s immature, hidden crush at a single glance. Such situations were common in the Beast World—not a huge crisis, but not a trivial matter either. He felt it was best to bring it out into the open. As long as Luoluo wasn’t interested, he would of course go have a word with the boy.

Sang Luo shook her head and sighed. "I really don’t have those kinds of feelings for Little Ru. You know me, what I value most is talent and power. And based on talent and power alone, Little Ru doesn’t meet my standards."

"Yes, Little Ru’s talent is indeed a bit lacking."

Lan Cang didn’t press the issue further, considering the matter closed. He didn’t want to put any pressure on her.

"A young Male Beast’s affections come on strong but fade just as quickly. Just treat him as you normally would. Once he realizes you’re not interested, he’ll gradually move on and find another female to admire."

"Okay." Sang Luo didn’t dwell on it. She took a sip of her fruit wine and thought of something else. "Speaking of which, I’ve always wondered. Why is Little Ru a regular Wolf Beast, while you’re a Mutant Wolf Beast?"
