Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 243 - 187: Harassed by a Scum Male

Si Ye saw her choking a bit on a pastry, so he poured her a cup of tea. "Soothe your throat."

"Hmph. Don’t think you can change the subject."

Seeing her slight jealousy actually put Si Ye in a good mood. "Hao Yue and Yu Ze have been betrothed since before they were born. Hao Yue has always wanted to break off the engagement, but I heard that at a recent banquet, she got drunk and ended up mating with Yu Ze. Yu Ze is the Young Master of the Sky Tiger Clan, and their Clan Leader would never allow his son to lose his Primordial Yang and disgrace the family’s name. As a result, the two clans have already been in private contact. The wedding will proceed as scheduled; it’s a done deal."

He added, "They claim they’re here for training, but clans rarely send females out to do that. It seems they want the two to spend time together and build their relationship."

Sang Luo nodded. "You can tell Yu Ze genuinely likes Hao Yue. One is steady and composed, while the other is feisty and lively. Their personalities seem quite compatible..."

She trailed off, her attention drawn to the sound of an argument at the restaurant’s entrance.

Si Ye glanced toward the sound before shelling a small dish of melon seeds for her.

Hao Yue and Yu Ze entered the restaurant one after the other.

"How many times do I have to tell you? Stop following me! I don’t like you! I’ve never liked you, ever since we were children. I’m going to find Ah Ye!"

"Can’t you see he already has a partner? He even has a daughter! No matter how relentlessly you pester him, nothing will come of it!" Yu Ze cupped Hao Yue’s face and, in front of everyone, kissed her.

Jeers and catcalls erupted from the crowd. Hao Yue’s face flushed with anger, and she slapped him across the face. "Get lost! Don’t let me see you again!"

She had just turned and taken no more than two steps when she saw Si Ye and Sang Luo eating by the window. The color drained from her face, turning from red to white. 𝒻𝑟𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝑛𝘰𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝘤𝘰𝘮

Yu Ze walked over and saw them as well, looking a bit awkward. "Oh, you two are at this restaurant too."

Si Ye placed a piece of a sparerib on Sang Luo’s plate. "The food here is quite good. Luoluo loves it."

"Their braised spareribs are indeed excellent. I’m a regular here," Yu Ze said, glancing at the empty seats across from them. "Do you mind if we sit here?"

"Feel free."

The meal was a bit awkward. They had already arranged to meet in the woods outside the city tomorrow, yet here they were, running into each other again shortly after parting ways.

Yu Ze glanced at Sang Luo from time to time. "By the way, I haven’t had the pleasure of asking for the noble female’s name yet."

"Sang Luo. Just use my name," she said, mumbling as she gnawed on a sparerib. ’A bit salty,’ she thought.

He chuckled. "Sang Luo, noble female, I’ve heard so much about you. I heard you bore a pure-blooded heir for the Bian Clan, making you the envy of everyone. With Fertility like that, any Male Beast would become infatuated with you..."

Hao Yue slammed her chopsticks onto her bowl and glared at him angrily. "You! If you’re getting ideas, then you should hurry up and break off our engagement."

Si Ye’s brow furrowed. "Yu Ze, we haven’t seen each other in two years. When did you lose the ability to speak properly?"

Yu Ze gave a dry laugh and pantomimed slapping his own face. "My mistake, I misspoke. Let’s drink. Drink up."

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Yu Ze received an urgent notice from his clan. A fairly large-scale Beast Tide had just erupted outside the city. Dozens of Beastmen had been killed, and he was ordered to leave the city at once to hunt the Demon Beasts.

Hao Yue, who had been coddled and spoiled her whole life, didn’t want to go. But when she saw Si Ye was going, she reluctantly tagged along.

Knowing her limited strength, Yu Ze wasn’t at ease. He found a safe cave outside the city and told Hao Yue to stay there and wait for him.

Si Ye was mindful of Sang Luo’s pregnancy and rarely let her overexert herself, so he also had her stay in the cave to rest, telling her he’d call for her when it was time to collect the spoils. Before leaving, the two males concealed the cave’s entrance and set up a protective Array.

Si Ye took responsibility for the Demon Beasts to the north, and Yu Ze for the ones to the south.

The two hadn’t seen each other in a long time, and their coordination was not in sync. Several times, Demon Beasts from the south broke through and nearly ambushed and injured Si Ye.

Sang Luo withdrew her spiritual power and stood up, intending to leave.

Hao Yue grabbed her arm. "What are you doing?"

"Going out."

"There’s no Array protecting us out there! The Demon Beasts will hurt you. You should stay here with me. Don’t go out."

"There are a lot of Demon Beasts this time. Shouldn’t we go help out?"

Hao Yue gave her a look as if she were an idiot. "Are you crazy? Demon Beasts are dangerous. Just let the males be the muscle out there. What’s the point of them otherwise? We’re females! Why should we have to go out and do that kind of manual labor?"

As they were speaking, a three-headed demon wolf, sniffing low to the ground, approached the cave and tried to peer inside.

Hao Yue let out a terrified scream. The Demon Beast instantly spotted the two of them and let out a low roar. More Demon Beasts swarmed the area, violently attacking the Array outside the cave.

Sang Luo sighed. ’I guess it’s up to the pregnant lady to step in.’

"I’ve been getting a little lazy lately. Guess I’ll take this as a chance to stretch my legs."

She tossed Hao Yue a Defensive Magical Artifact and walked out of the cave.

Hao Yue started to call out to her, but in the next second, she watched as Sang Luo casually waved a hand, unleashing the Phoenix True Fire. The dozen or so Demon Beasts besieging the cave were instantly turned to dust.

"Y-you... what is your rank?"

"Peak of King Rank."

Hao Yue was dumbfounded. ’No wonder she was able to give birth to a pure-blooded heir for the Bian Clan!’

"Um, be careful out there."

By the time she snapped out of it, Sang Luo was long gone.

The number of Demon Beasts this time was unexpectedly large, numbering in the thousands. This was far from a small- or medium-sized Beast Tide; it was a large-scale one.

Si Ye had nearly finished off the Demon Beasts in the north. Yu Ze, whose power was a bit weaker—only at the True King Realm—was steadily losing ground under the Demon Beasts’ siege. Sang Luo headed south to help him.

She flew into the air, and countless Thunder Fire Balls rained down. Any Demon Beast they touched was utterly annihilated. In her wake, not a single Demon Beast was left standing.

An hour passed, during which hundreds of Demon Beasts had met a gruesome end at her hands.

The King Rank Demon Beasts were highly intelligent. Realizing this small female was even more difficult to handle than the males, they no longer dared to attack rashly. Instead, they joined forces and plotted a sneak attack.

A Demon Beast that knew the Clone Technique took advantage of the moment she destroyed its Clone, instantly swapping its main body over for a sneak attack. Yu Ze flashed over and pulled her aside, allowing her to dodge the strike. Sang Luo was about to pull her hand back to thank him, but the man held on, his large, slender hand even rubbing its way up her arm.

Goosebumps erupted on Sang Luo’s skin. She violently wrenched her hand away. "What are you doing?!"

She looked up coldly, meeting the man’s frivolous, greedy gaze. Yu Ze rubbed his fingers together as if savoring the sensation, his eyes filled with a new kind of interest. "When I first saw the noble female, I was stunned. Up close, your face is even more beautiful. And the feel of your skin... so incredibly soft and smooth. It makes a man not want to let go..."

"Has the Young Master of the Sky Tiger Clan taken a fancy to me? I am your good brother’s female, you know."

"As long as the noble female is willing, I don’t mind being the other man," he said with a smile.

"..."

Yu Ze’s eyes flickered. Seeing Si Ye rushing over from the other side of the forest, he backed away several meters and nonchalantly killed a Demon Beast, acting as if nothing had happened.

’Sang Luo hadn’t missed the momentary greed in Yu Ze’s eyes. She thought back to what he’d said in the restaurant. She had originally thought he was some kind of devoted lover, but it turned out he was just a womanizing scumbag, and he was after her Fertility. Hao Yue had been rejecting him all this time; she must have seen what kind of person he really was long ago. And Si Ye was a poor judge of character, being brothers with someone like this!’
