Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 294 - 233: Don’t Touch My Child

Sang Luo walked over and glared at him. "You really aren’t afraid this thing will kill me!"

She huffed. "If you poison me to death, I won’t let you off even as a ghost, you damned bird!"

"Excellent. To share a bed in life and a pillow in death—how romantic. For my Luo’er to remember me even as a ghost would be my greatest honor."

"You! Get the hell away from me!"

Furious, Sang Luo gave him a light kick.

’Seeing this spirited and flustered expression of hers, he knew her main consciousness had taken over. The Clone only possessed a wisp of her Divine Sense and always seemed to lack a certain spark.’

Fei Yuan pulled her into his arms, his hand resting on the small of her back. He lowered his head, kissed her forehead, and said with a low chuckle, "I would never risk the safety of my precious Luo’er and our child. I need to study this Divine Poison Pearl for a while longer. I’ll only give it to you after I’m absolutely certain it’s foolproof."

Si Ye turned his head to look at the man walking over. He was handsome in green robes, but his clothes were stained with a lot of blood, making him look a bit disheveled.

He tossed the green-robed man a bottle of healing medicine. "Min Hua Clan Leader, go back and rest well for a while."

Min Hua didn’t stand on ceremony, accepting the medicine and consuming it. "Many thanks for your help, Young Master. If you hadn’t blocked those two strikes for me, I’m afraid this leg of mine would be crippled, if not half-useless."

"Don’t mention it."

"The clan has lost some people, and there are many matters that require me to return to our territory to handle. I won’t exchange any more pleasantries with Your Majesty and the Young Master. I’ll take my clan members and head back first."

Min Hua cupped his hands in a salute, and after receiving a nod of approval, he led his people away.

Sang Luo saw that the battlefield had been cleaned up, and Le Xia was also gone. "He took Le Xia with him."

Si Ye wasn’t surprised. "No matter what, she’s the Great Argus Clan’s only female Pure-blooded King Beast. It’s no exaggeration to call her the clan’s lifeline. Regardless of what mistakes she’s made, this status alone grants her immunity within the clan. The Great Argus Clan will definitely do everything to protect her."

Sang Luo frowned. "I wonder if Le Xia, after she wakes up, will transfer her hatred to the Demon Clan, or if she’ll be just like before..."

Fei Yuan flicked her nose with his finger. "That’s not for us to worry about. It’s something the Great Argus Clan should be afraid of." He added, "Min Hua asked me to spare her life beforehand. If she offends again, the Great Argus Clan will deal with her personally."

Fei Yuan had granted the Great Argus Clan this favor.

Sang Luo nodded. It was better to grant them this favor than to fall out with the Great Argus Clan over one female. Besides, what Le Xia had done would become leverage against the Great Argus Clan—proof of a crime that could be judged as treason—held in Fei Yuan’s hand.

With the matter at Resentful Lake concluded, the two of them also hurried back to the palace.

...

Sang Luo withdrew her consciousness from her Clone and was immediately overcome with exhaustion. She changed into a goose-yellow, soft fleece nightgown and took a nice, long bath.

On her way back, however, she caught sight of a slender, frail-looking youth standing under a tree in front of the hall doors, half of his body cloaked in shadow.

Hearing the sound, he looked up and gazed in her direction.

Sang Luo paused for a moment, then averted her gaze and pretended not to see him. She went inside, closed the door, and went to bed.

The youth’s gaze followed her until she disappeared from sight.

The moon was bright and the stars were few; the night wind was cold.

He walked to the door, raised his hand to touch it, then pulled it back.

He turned and squatted down on the steps. An unknown amount of time passed before his face contorted in pain and he collapsed to the ground.

A wisp of purple spiritual power flew out from his body.

「Void Demon Realm. Nine Abyss Dungeon.」

A man suddenly opened his eyes!

An incomparably handsome and cold face, long, enchanting purple eyes that could steal one’s soul—who else could it be but Quan Jin?

Dragon Trapping Chains, etched with countless Demon Patterns, were wrapped around his hands and waist, pinning his entire body to a cross forged from a giant black stone. His black robes concealed the shocking whip marks covering his body but couldn’t stop the dark red blood from flowing down the black stone. This extremely pure Demon Blood nourished countless Demons.

A boundless sea of red spider lilies bloomed on the dark, black soil.

A breathtakingly vibrant red.

"When did you awaken?"

An ancient, heavy voice resounded in the void.

"Just now." Quan Jin’s voice was desolate and devoid of emotion.

"Do you still remember why this venerable one punished you so severely?"

"...I remember."

"Last time, you secretly helped that female escape and even let the Shark Emperor go, ruining this venerable one’s grand plan. This is tantamount to betrayal. If it had been anyone else, they would have died without a burial place long ago!" the voice barked coldly. "This venerable one spared you out of consideration for our bloodline and imprisoned you in the Nine Nether Forbidden Land to reflect for over a year. Do you know your mistake now?"

Quan Jin lowered his head, not making a sound.

Another lash of the whip.

He let out a muffled grunt, veins bulging on his temples.

The red spider lilies beneath him grew even more vibrant and dazzling.

An ethereal figure seemed to coalesce in the void. It was draped in a magnificent black robe as heavy as the night, but there was no one inside the robe—only a formless black mist that faintly emanated an ancient power so immense and terrifying that it was difficult to look at directly.

It seethed with frustration. "Don’t think this venerable one doesn’t know about the things you’ve done behind my back. You even killed two of my valued Demon Envoys for that female! I originally intended to cultivate you as my successor. Don’t be a disappointment like your useless father, losing your head over a female!"

"If there is a next time, this child of yours..." A Beast Egg with dim purple runes appeared in the palm of the black shadow.

Quan Jin snapped his head up, his eyes scarlet. "Don’t touch it!"

The black shadow sneered. "Just an offspring of the Soaring Snake Clan. It no longer shares any blood ties with the you of today, and it’s even more useless to our Demon Clan. It’s a wonder you went to such great lengths to revive it."

Quan Jin struggled against the chains like a madman, a low, beast-like roar tearing from his throat. "Don’t touch my child. I’ll do anything you ask."

The black shadow withdrew the Beast Egg. "Do you know your mistake now?"

"Grandson... knows his mistake."

"Don’t let it happen again. Otherwise, I can find someone more obedient to take control of this body of yours."

"Thank you, My Lord."

The Dragon Trapping Chains retracted. Quan Jin fell heavily to the ground. A moment later, sensation returned to his body. He wiped the blood from his mouth and scrambled to his feet, then vanished in a flash.

He cleaned the blood from his body, changed his clothes, and concealed his Demonic Qi. The first thing he did upon returning to the palace was to look for Little Qi.

"Dad, where have you been?" Little Qi yawned. During the days his dad was gone, it had been so bored that it had taken a long nap and just woken up.

It coiled around his arm and sniffed, extremely worried. "Dad, why do you smell so strongly of blood? Are you hurt?!"

"I’m fine, Dad’s fine. I was out dealing with some things. The blood is from other people." Quan Jin stroked Little Qi, a lingering fear making his fingers tremble. ’Thank goodness it’s still here. The Demon Lord didn’t take it.’

"Daddy works so hard. So, is everything taken care of now?" Little Qi nuzzled his palm.

"Yes, it’s almost done." Quan Jin’s eyes softened. "Haven’t you always wanted to go live with your mother? Dad will take you to her."

"Yay! I can finally see Mommy again! Daddy, take me to Mommy, quick!" Little Qi wagged its tail happily, then remembered something and froze. "Daddy, you’d better not make Mommy mad again this time!"

"...Alright."

Quan Jin put Little Qi into his storage space.

He didn’t leave the Void Demon Realm right away, however. First, he made a trip to Yin Sha City.

The main city under the jurisdiction of the Second Demon Envoy.
