Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 230 - 174: He Wants Her True Heart

RUMBLE!

A massive Profound Ice Dragon Turtle, as large as a mountain, burst from the earth. It stood a full hundred meters tall, and the hill Sang Luo had thought she’d landed safely upon was, in fact, its shell.

The Emperor Rank turtle, awakened from its long slumber by the Heavenly Thunder, was already ravenous. Its eyes were bloodshot, saliva dripped from its maw, and countless ice spikes materialized around it as it attacked the pair.

Fei Yuan loosely wrapped an arm around her waist. With his other hand, he took the folded fan from her grasp and waved it. A fierce gale carrying innumerable snowflakes erupted, and the phantom image of a black-and-red Fire Phoenix let out a piercing cry as it shot forward, colliding with the Profound Ice Dragon Turtle. A terrifying wave of energy burst forth, shaking the very heavens and earth!

Fei Yuan teleported with her dozens of miles away to safety. He cupped her face, then lifted her arm, inspecting her carefully. "Are you hurt?"

Sang Luo shook her head. "Weren’t you in seclusion? What are you doing here?"

"Little Luoruo, you promised to bear me a child. I can’t have anything happening to you now." His voice deepened. "Even when I’m not by your side, I’m watching over you every moment through a tracking sigil."

Fei Yuan remembered Si Ye saying that Sang Luo also had a Beast Husband in the North Continent, and that he’d even seen her talking to three Wolf Pups on several occasions. The moment Fei Yuan sensed she had arrived in the North Continent, he had followed, afraid someone else would beat him to the punch.

Sang Luo touched her belly and shot him a sidelong glance. "I gave you a chance, and you didn’t take it. Why the sudden rush?"

"I..." He was left speechless.

A full half-hour later, the Heavenly Tribulation finally ended. Lan Cang rushed over. "Luoluo, what are you doing in a place like this?"

"I was worried something might have happened to you, so I rushed over to check. If you were really in danger, I figured I could help out."

Sang Luo saw his wounds healing rapidly and noticed his power had advanced to the Peak of King Rank. She smiled. "Congratulations, Cangcang!"

"Thank you for that vial of Elixirs you gave me. I really don’t know if I would have survived that last bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation otherwise. But Luoluo, you don’t have to worry. I was well-prepared before I came to face it. Those people couldn’t have killed me. I wouldn’t want our children to lose their father so young." Lan Cang was overcome with emotion and wanted to pull her into a hug to soothe the ache of their separation.

But he hesitated, his gaze falling on Fei Yuan beside her.

Lan Cang had never met Fei Yuan before, but his Beastman instincts filled him with a sense of awe. The man’s power was unfathomable, at a profound level Lan Cang could scarcely comprehend.

"Might I ask which Beast Emperor from the East Continent Your Excellency is?"

Sang Luo was surprised he had guessed it in a single glance. She nodded with a smile. "The Central Beast Emperor, Fei Yuan."

Lan Cang bowed respectfully. "Your reputation precedes you."

Even though he wasn’t a Beastman from the East Continent, he had still heard of the Phoenix Emperor—an absolute powerhouse who dominated his domain.

Fei Yuan nodded. "The up-and-coming New City Lord of the North Continent. I’ve heard of you."

"...To receive the Beast Emperor’s notice is my honor."

"Cangcang, it’s been a while. Did you miss me?" 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Sang Luo stepped forward, took Lan Cang’s hand, and planted a kiss on his cheek.

The last trace of unease in Lan Cang’s heart vanished instantly. He squeezed her hand and murmured a soft, "Mhm. The children and I missed you very much. You’ve been away for so long."

Sang Luo could hear the hint of grievance in his voice and said, a little sheepishly, "I did come back for the children’s first birthday ceremony! It’s a shame you were gone. But I made a recording of it for you. You can watch it when you get back to make up for missing it~"

"Luoluo, you’re always so thoughtful. I’m so happy!" Lan Cang’s dark eyes lit up. He didn’t want to miss any part of his children growing up, but this breakthrough had come so abruptly that he’d had no choice but to leave.

"Hehe, I knew you’d want to see it."

"I learned how to make a new shrimp, melon, and lotus root soup. I’ll be staying for a couple more days this time. How about I make some for you to try?"

"Okay~"

Fei Yuan watched the deep, inseparable affection between them. ’This is something I’ve never felt from her. The last time we were this intimate, I didn’t sense even a trace of this...’ After a moment of thought, he took out a bottle of Spiritual Liquid and offered it to Lan Cang. "I am your senior, after all. I didn’t bring much with me on this trip, so please accept this humble gift as thanks for your hospitality these next couple of days."

"Thank you, Phoenix Emperor. Since you are with Luoluo, it’s no imposition at all. On the contrary, I’m afraid my hospitality will be lacking." Lan Cang accepted the gift, but instead of consuming the Spiritual Liquid, he placed it in his Qiankun Bag.

’He must be waiting for his realm to stabilize before he takes it,’ Sang Luo thought.

Fei Yuan, however, saw the truth: he planned to leave the Spiritual Liquid for his children. A flash of appreciation appeared in Fei Yuan’s eyes.

’This Wolf Beast’s talent is limited; he has little chance of ever advancing to the Emperor Rank in this lifetime. Leaving it for his children is a wise move.’

There is a natural chasm between the King Rank and the Emperor Rank. A Beastman with decent talent might reach the King Rank through diligent Cultivation and fortunate opportunities, perhaps even attaining the Peak of King Rank.

But the Emperor Rank was a realm that none but those from Innate King Beast Species could enter. There were no exceptions.

’If Lan Cang’s descendants possess enough talent, it’s not impossible that his clan could one day evolve into a new Innate King Beast Species. But that was a matter for the distant future.’

The three of them returned to Ice-breaking City.

The little pups ran out to greet them.

Fei Yuan’s eyes lit up as he scooped up the chubby Zhuizui. The usually mischievous pup was perfectly behaved in his arms, not even daring to move.

Fei Yuan raised a hand to gently ruffle the pup’s big, fluffy head, his phoenix-like eyes turning to Sang Luo. "How adorable. Did you give birth to this one as well?"

"If I didn’t, who did? Look at his eyes, his mouth, his nose. Doesn’t he look like me?"

"Hah. He has a bit of your mischievous charm," Fei Yuan said, holding each of the little pups in turn.

’It was obvious he really liked children. Even with a little troublemaker like Si Ye, Fei Yuan had kept him by his side every day when he was a cub. It was only after Si Ye grew up that he became so disagreeable.’

As Fei Yuan held the three pups, Spiritual Power flowed from his palms and circulated through their bodies. His phoenix-like eyes flashed. ’It’s just as I suspected. For these little Wolf Pups, Sang Luo must have selected the strongest genes from the Wolf Beast bloodline to conceive them.’

’She can produce children with this level of talent even from a Mutant Wolf Beast with a mixed bloodline!’

’There’s nothing simple about the way she bears children!’

Fei Yuan finally understood. ’Her body possesses a special Talent Ability. It meticulously selects the strongest genes from her Beast Husband’s essence for conception. She won’t conceive unless they *are* the strongest, which is why every child she bears surpasses the dominant talents of their father.’

’But... she has feelings for her other Beast Husbands. She has no true feelings for me.’

’I wonder if that will affect the outcome.’

’To ensure a perfect result, I need her true heart to conceive my heir.’

Fei Yuan took out a vial of Elixirs that radiated Pure Spiritual Energy and fed one to each of the three little pups.

Sang Luo asked, "What did you just give them?"

"An Immortal Grade Elixir that can raise a pup’s rank."

After taking the Elixirs, the three pups fell into a deep sleep for several days and nights. During that short time, they absorbed and refined the Pure Spiritual Energy as if it were a vortex. When the pups finally awoke, their realms had all risen by one rank, reaching the True King Rank.

Sang Luo and Lan Cang were utterly stunned.

A thought occurred to Sang Luo, and she looked at Fei Yuan excitedly. "How many more of those Elixirs do you have?"

"Half a vial is left. If that’s not enough, I can return to the East Continent and refine more in seclusion."

Sang Luo counted them. There were five left. "No need. This is the perfect amount."

Fei Yuan added, "Little Luoruo, you must remember this. These Elixirs are only effective if taken during a King Beast’s pup stage. Each individual can only take one in their entire lifetime. Any more would not only be useless, but it would also cause them harm."

"I know." ’A quick rise in rank is good, of course, but having a solid and stable foundation is what’s most crucial for facing the Heavenly Tribulation later on.’ "I plan to give these remaining Elixirs to the other children."
