Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 266 - 209: Go Out and Hide for a Few Days

"All of you, take another look! Is it really true? I’m really going to have a child!" Fei Yuan had all but lost the composed dignity of the Beast Emperor. Right now, he was just an ecstatic male on the verge of fatherhood, insisting that every single witch doctor confirm the diagnosis.

’He never realized how indescribably thrilling it was to have an heir until it was his turn.’

The witch doctors all bowed happily.

"Your Majesty, we made no mistake. The noble female is truly pregnant!"

"Excellent! Rewards! You will all be generously rewarded!"

Laughing heartily, Fei Yuan swept Sang Luo up from the bed and spun her around several times. Her face flushed with embarrassment and annoyance, she lightly pounded his back and whispered, "Alright, everyone is watching! How can Your Majesty act like this? Put me down, quick!"

"Your Majesty, the noble female Sang Luo is pregnant! Please be careful!" The witch doctors had served in the Imperial Palace for many years, but they had never seen His Majesty so overjoyed.

Fei Yuan quickly and carefully placed her back on the bed. He had the witch doctors write out several prescriptions to ensure a safe pregnancy and nourish her body, then sent them to be prepared at the apothecary.

Fei Yuan held her hand, his phoenix eyes brimming with joy. He kissed the corner of her lips, then her stomach, a low laugh rumbling in his throat. "Luo’er, you truly are my treasure. I’ve waited for this day for so long, and it’s finally here."

"Your Majesty has certainly been busy these past few months. You’ve thoroughly worn me out, but you finally got your wish." Sang Luo clasped his long, slender hand and rubbed her belly.

Three months had passed, but her stomach was still flat. This pregnancy was even less apparent than when she carried her second child, the Little Mermaid.

’Carrying Little Carp required the Power of Merit, so it made sense that her development was slow. This baby doesn’t need that, though. Could something be wrong?’

Sang Luo grew worried and shot him a fierce glare. "You’ve been too wild these past few months. The baby won’t be..."

Fei Yuan arched an eyebrow, a sly smile spreading across his face. "What’s there to be afraid of? King Beast cubs are much more resilient than you think. In fact, the more we’re together, the faster the baby will develop. Let’s continue tonight..." 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Gritting her teeth, Sang Luo kicked him. ’Shameless old lecher! He’s just making excuses for himself!’

"I’m not falling for your nonsense!"

The Old Witch Doctor entered carrying a bowl of medicinal soup. After Sang Luo drank it, she asked him, "It’s been three months, but I haven’t felt anything from the baby. Are you sure everything is okay? My appetite only exploded in the last two days. With my previous pregnancies, my appetite would increase just a few days after conceiving."

"The gestation period differs for every race, and the difference between an Innate King Beast and a member of the ordinary Beast Clan is even more significant. For more details on this, the noble female can ask His Majesty." The witch doctor looked respectfully at Fei Yuan. "His Majesty is an Innate King Beast possessing a Divine Bloodline. It is common for his heirs to develop slowly. At three months, the embryo has only just finished forming and has started drawing energy from the mother’s body. It is completely normal for the pregnancy not to be showing yet."

Fei Yuan added, "Little Luoruo, don’t worry. Our baby is very healthy. I can feel it."

Sang Luo felt a bit more relieved. She asked him, "Back then, how long was your mother pregnant with you?"

"That was a long time ago. Let me think... From what the servants back then said, I believe it was about fifty or sixty years."

Sang Luo almost thought she’d misheard. "That long!"

"Is that long? Normally, a pregnancy should last at least eighty to a hundred years. My mother had a small accident when she was carrying me, which is why I was born prematurely."

"..." ’Eighty to a hundred years... that’s longer than my entire past life.’

"Don’t worry. However long you carry this child, that’s how long I’ll take care of you. Forget decades or a century—even if you were pregnant for five hundred or a thousand years, I wouldn’t be in any rush." Fei Yuan sat on the edge of the bed, trying to please her by massaging her legs.

Sang Luo rolled her eyes at him. "You might not be in a hurry, but I am!"

’I don’t even know if I’ll live that long.’

Fei Yuan plucked a Spirit Fruit from a grape-like cluster and fed it to her. A dense wave of Spiritual Energy nourished her entire body. ’It’s an Immortal Grade Spirit Fruit!’

Spirit Fruits of this grade were extremely hard to find.

During her previous pregnancies, she had only been able to eat a few on rare occasions. Fei Yuan slipped a Space Jade Bracelet onto her wrist. When she looked inside, she saw it was filled to the brim with Immortal Fruits!

Sang Luo gulped. ’So, this baby’s father has another good point besides his skills in bed—he’s absolutely loaded.’

’With him around, this baby is going to be spoiled.’

’She wouldn’t have to run around trying to find food for herself anymore.’

Ever since Sang Luo became pregnant, Fei Yuan had been personally attending to her around the clock. His care was meticulous, as he feared even the slightest mishap, and he’d delegated all his court duties to others.

The baby wasn’t even born yet, but he was already holding massive celebrations and granting a general amnesty, as if terrified the world wouldn’t know he was having an heir.

’No matter how prim and proper Fei Yuan acted during the day, he was a ravenous wolf at night. He insisted they needed to be intimate *more* often during the pregnancy, and when it came to *that*, he was even more unrestrained and insatiable than before!’

’Sang Luo suspected the man had been pent up for too long and had become addicted after getting a taste. Even she, a veteran in the bedroom, couldn’t take it!’

Just as she was thinking this, she received a telepathic message from Lou Xianyue. She seized the opportunity and fled back to the Sea Palace.

...

Lou Xianyue led Sang Luo to the Spirit Pool.

Little Carp was submerged in the Spirit Pool, enveloped in a pinkish-blue cocoon. Just like Little Blue Eucalyptus years ago, it would take a year or so for her to hatch.

Right after Sang Luo had given birth to Little Carp, the fetal membrane surrounding her had been somewhat thick. Now, it had thinned to an almost transparent layer, allowing her to finally see her little daughter’s face. She was as lovely as a pink jade carving, with a chubby, rosy-white face. Her eyes were still closed, but one could already glimpse how adorable and delicate her features were.

She had light pink curly hair, and her fishtail was also pink. The tips of her hair and her tailfin faded into a sea-blue gradient, making her look incredibly beautiful and dreamlike—like a little Mermaid princess straight out of a fairy tale.

Sang Luo’s eyes were practically bubbling with pink hearts. She couldn’t wait for her precious baby girl to wake up so she could give her a proper hug.

Ah Ze smiled. "The Merfolk Clan all have blue fishtails. Little Carp is a mutated pink Merfolk—the only pink Merfolk in the world."

Sang Luo said, "It must be because I ate that Fire Crystal Stone during the pregnancy. The pink fishtail is beautiful, but will it have any negative effects on her?"

’Mutations in beasts were a mixed bag,’ Sang Luo thought. ’For a Wolf Beast with an ordinary bloodline like Lan Cang, it’s a worthwhile gamble, since the mutated bloodline is likely to be superior to the original. But for a race of Innate King Beasts like the Merfolk Clan, a mutation is highly likely to be a turn for the worse, destroying the stability of their original bloodline.’

Lou Xianyue gently pinched her worried face and shook her head reassuringly. "Don’t worry, Sang’er. Little Carp is growing very well. The strength of her bloodline is in no way inferior to Little Blue Eucalyptus’s—in fact, it might even be a little stronger."

"What’s more, she has a Talent Ability: Undying Fire. Since ancient times, Merfolk have always possessed Water Element abilities. She is the very first Fire Element Merfolk. Her fire is highly unusual—it can burn unextinguished even in water."

Sang Luo’s eyes lit up. "My little girl is amazing!"

’Even Phoenix True Fire can’t burn in the ocean, but her flames can burn in water. Doesn’t that mean she’ll be invincible in the sea!?’

"Ah Ze, have you thought of a name for our daughter?"
