Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 241 - 185: One of the Seven Demon Envoys, Yu Cang

Chapter 241: Chapter 185: One of the Seven Demon Envoys, Yu Cang

...

Fei Yuan walked out of the hall, his tall, slender figure looking somewhat desolate.

Si Ye hadn’t left. He was leaning against a pillar under the eaves with his arms crossed. "Finished talking?"

Fei Yuan looked at him. "What is it now?"

"Is Luoluo asleep?"

"Yes."

"Luoluo and I... we just happened to run into each other this time." Si Ye glanced into the hall and lowered his voice, recounting their experience for Fei Yuan. He paid special attention to the description of the High-level Demon Clan member. "Have you ever seen this person?"

"Tall and slender, with medium-length, silver-gray curly hair, dark tea-colored eyes, and a red mole under one eye... Heh, the Demon Clan has many Deceitful Mages. What you saw might not have been his true appearance. However, your description does match someone I’ve seen before: Yu Cang, one of the Seven Demon Envoys of the Void Demon Realm." Fei Yuan spoke casually. "He’s at the Initial Demon Emperor cultivation level. The man is exceptionally treacherous, skilled in escape and disguise. Even I failed to capture him back then."

Si Ye replied, "He was slaughtering ordinary Beastmen who were completely defenseless. He wouldn’t have needed to hide his appearance. It was most likely him. What’s his Talent Ability?"

"Besides refining Blood Demon Puppets, he has a special Talent Ability called ’Parasitism.’ If you ever truly encounter him, you must be extremely careful."

"Right. Got it."

Sang Luo wasn’t actually asleep. Staring at the ceiling, she listened to the two men talking outside and silently committed their words to memory.

She was still worried. She tried to contact Ah Ze, but there was still no response. ’I wonder what on earth happened in the South Sea...’

Fortunately, a few nights later, Lou Xianyue, who had been gone for some time, took the initiative to contact her.

Sang’er, have you been well? I feel truly guilty. I’m afraid I won’t be able to stay by your side this time. You must take good care of yourself.

The Beast Crystals in the Qiankun Bag that Uncle Su gave me are enough to last through this pregnancy, so you don’t need to worry about me. I’m most worried about you. How are things on your end?

It’s almost over.

That’s good! Focus on reinforcing the seal. I’ll come find you after the baby is born!

...Luo’er, I really want to see what our child looks like. I really want to hold them myself.

Then you’d better hurry back~ You have to be here before I give birth. Otherwise, if the first person the baby sees is one of my other Beast Husbands, they might mistake someone else for their father.

Okay.

Hearing that he was okay, the weight on Sang Luo’s heart was finally lifted, and she could focus on nurturing her pregnancy.

Si Ye stayed by her side, tending to her every need, making up for the regret of not being there for her during her last pregnancy.

There was also more than enough Beast Crystals and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

Sang Luo had thought this pregnancy would be a peaceful one, just a matter of waiting until the birth.

Fei Yuan walked in from outside, holding a book. "Little Luoruo, this child of yours is a bit special. Besides being nourished by Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and Beast Crystals, it also requires an extra supply of the Power of Merit."

Si Ye put down the medicine bowl and took the ancient book from Fei Yuan. As he flipped through it, he instantly understood what that flash of golden light from before had been.

Sang Luo looked at the two of them, completely bewildered. "Power of Merit? Don’t tell me I have to go around doing good deeds?"

Fei Yuan smiled. "You could put it that way."

"Where am I supposed to find that many good deeds to do?"

Si Ye raised an eyebrow. "There’s an easier way: kill members of the Demon Clan."

Everyone knew of the vile deeds committed by the Demon Clan. They were the very embodiment of monstrous sin. Kill enough of them, and the Power of Merit would naturally accumulate.

Sang Luo thought for a moment, then gave Si Ye a brilliant smile. "Then I’ll have to trouble Ah Ye to accompany me on this trip!" 𝕗𝐫𝐞𝕖𝕨𝐞𝗯𝚗𝕠𝘃𝐞𝚕.𝐜𝗼𝚖

Fei Yuan spoke coolly, "And why didn’t you think to ask this Emperor to accompany you?"

"Luoluo is naturally biased toward me, which is why she wants me to go." Si Ye shot him a glare, then scooped Sang Luo into his arms and ran off.

Fei Yuan sighed. ’In the end, the old can’t compete with the young.’ He returned to his secluded cultivation.

...

「Suiyuan Forest.」

Si Ye slaughtered another nest of Demon Beasts and crossed a location off his map.

He had compiled a map of all the recent Demon Beast outbreaks. In half a month, they had slaughtered over a thousand Demon Beasts, with twenty-six locations still left to visit.

The Power of Merit was credited to the one who dealt the killing blow. So each time, Si Ye would beat the Demon Beasts half to death, then let Sang Luo "collect the heads," making things incredibly easy for her.

Si Ye took out a broom and swept away the weeds and the bone ash left by the Demon Beasts, clearing a clean patch of ground.

"When this baby is born, they’ll have to call you ’Dad’ one way or another." Sang Luo plopped onto the ground and started eating a Spirit Fruit. "When I was pregnant with Zhenzhen, Ah Ze was the one who looked after me. I never thought my luck would turn, and now you’re taking care of his child."

"Not being able to be with you then is the biggest regret of my life." Si Ye sat down next to her to rest. He wasn’t happy about the flock of ’beauties’ surrounding her, but he also disliked being indebted to others. "When the time comes, I will be sure to visit him personally with gifts in hand."

As he spoke, he untied the Qiankun Bag he’d previously given Sang Luo from her waist and placed it in her hand. "Eat the food I gathered for you."

"Hehe, it’s all the same." Sang Luo didn’t stand on ceremony. She put away the Qiankun Bag from Uncle Su and took out a completely green, root-like Spiritual material from Si Ye’s bag to eat.

She hadn’t paid attention to what was inside his Qiankun Bag before, but now that she was rummaging through it, she was taken aback.

It was filled with top-grade Spiritual materials, quite a few Immortal Rank Treasures, and all the Beast Crystals were King Rank or higher. There were even several Emperor Rank Beast Crystals.

It was enough for her to carry a whole new litter of Little Zhenzhens.

There was no way Si Ye could have gathered this much food in just the last two months. Sang Luo realized in an instant that he hadn’t been idle during the half-year-plus he was gone while she was pregnant with Little Zhenzhen.

For more than half a year, Si Ye had been out training everywhere and searching for Spiritual materials; otherwise, he wouldn’t have returned to the Peak of King Rank so quickly.

"Back then, you broke our Soul Mark and hated me so much you developed a Heart Demon. Why were you still thinking about finding food for me?"

"...I never hated you." Si Ye pulled Sang Luo onto his lap so she was straddling him, his voice deep. "Breaking the Soul Mark was an impulsive act. Afterward, I... I actually regretted it a little. But at the same time, I blamed you for deceiving me, and I was too proud to go back to you..."

’At the time, he even thought the child in her belly wasn’t his...’

Si Ye secretly glanced at Sang Luo. Seeing she didn’t know about this, he swallowed his words and changed his story. "No matter how much I resented you, you were still carrying my child. I didn’t want anything to happen to you. My plan was to go out and train for a year or so and then give you the spoils."

Sang Luo rummaged through the Qiankun Bag and found a peculiar red Spirit Stone. A light touch nearly burned her. "What is this?"

"The last time I went to the Eastern Lava Area, it was to get this Crystal Stone. I originally intended for Little Zhenzhen, who you were carrying at the time, to have it. I just didn’t expect you to give birth so quickly, so I never got the chance to give it to you."

"So that’s why you stormed off to that barren wasteland in the Eastern Region! The Fire Source in this stone is indeed exceptionally pure. It might even be Earth Core Fire. We should hurry back to the ancestral land and give it to Little Zhenzhen."

"I’m afraid that won’t work. This Fire Spirit Stone provides the greatest boost to a child’s Talent Ability when consumed during pregnancy. Little Zhenzhen has already been born. It might still have some effect if she eats it now, but not much. It would be a bit of a waste." Si Ye looked at her still-flat stomach. "You’re still in the early stages of pregnancy. Let this baby have it."

"But I’m carrying a Mermaid."

"All the more reason to eat it." Si Ye’s red eyes curved slightly, a hint of mischief in them. "This Marquis has never seen a Fire Element Mermaid in his life."

Sang Luo puffed up her cheeks and glared at him. "Are you serious?"

Si Ye smiled and urged her on. "I’m serious. Go on, eat it. Let’s see what you’ll give birth to."

"..." Sang Luo was a little speechless, but as she looked at the extremely rare Fire Crystal Stone, she couldn’t help but drool. In the end, she gave in to her body’s instinctive craving and ate it.
