Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 296 - 235: True Origins

The moment Fei Yuan arrived, he caught the lingering, intimate scent in the air—the aftermath of a male and female’s union. It was mingled with the sweet fragrance of a deeply aroused female, and another potent male rutting scent that turned his stomach... 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

Heh.

He’d only been gone a few days, and she already dared to have an affair behind his back.

’She really can’t handle being lonely!’

Fei Yuan looked at Quan Jin as he emerged from the bamboo house. "Where is she?"

Quan Jin smiled. "She wore herself out last night. She’s still asleep."

Fei Yuan stared at him for a moment, then gave a smile that didn’t reach his eyes. "I’m not sure if I should call you the Southern Beast Emperor, or His Excellency the Demon Envoy."

"We are both her Beast Husbands. There’s no high or low status between us, so there’s no need to be so formal. You can just call me by my name, Phoenix Emperor."

Quan Jin brushed past Fei Yuan, then paused.

He whispered in his ear,

"...She gave her Primordial Blood to me. That most innocent, alluring side of her... I’m afraid the Phoenix Emperor has never had a taste of that, has he?"

BOOM!

Sang Luo hadn’t even finished putting on her robe when she was startled by a terrifying, earth-shattering explosion outside. The bamboo house felt like it was about to collapse!

With no time to finish dressing, she covered her head and bolted outside, only to stop short, her eyes wide at the devastating scene.

In just that short time, the two men had exchanged several blows. The mountainside had been razed flat. The bamboo forest beyond the courtyard... what bamboo forest? It had been completely sheared away, and the stumps were still burning with a loud CRACKLE.

Fei Yuan looked at Quan Jin in surprise. "Your power has increased."

This wasn’t the first time they had fought. In their last battle, Quan Jin had only been at the Initial Emperor Realm, but now he was approaching the Emperor Beast Peak. No normal person could advance in power so quickly.

Unless... he possessed a devouring-type talent.

And such a heaven-defying talent could only be inherited by those with a True Demon Bloodline.

Fei Yuan’s eyes narrowed, his tone laced with dangerous curiosity. "Are you really just a Demon Envoy?"

"The Phoenix Emperor is truly perceptive."

"..."

"What do you two think you’re doing!" Sang Luo snapped.

One after the other, the men saw Sang Luo approaching and tacitly stopped fighting. The tense, hostile atmosphere instantly became amicable, as if the disastrous scene of shattered mountains and cracked stones outside had nothing to do with them.

Fei Yuan’s gaze swept over Sang Luo’s disheveled clothes. Her collar hung loose and untied, revealing a stretch of her snow-white neck and collarbone, where suggestive red marks were particularly obvious.

He then looked at her lips. They were rosy and exquisitely tender, with a hint of swelling... Fei Yuan’s expression darkened abruptly, but then his lips curled into a smile as he beckoned nonchalantly.

"Luo’er, come here. I’ll take you back."

Just as Sang Luo started to move, the pressure around the man beside her dropped. Quan Jin grabbed her hand and yanked her into his arms.

His lips brushed against her ear. "Sangsang, do you know what I was thinking right before I died?"

The memory of that day flashed through Sang Luo’s mind, and her heart suddenly ached. She couldn’t move her feet.

Quan Jin’s long, slender fingers gently traced the line of her brow. His violet eyes rippled with an overwhelming affection. "Before I died, the only thought in my mind was that I wanted to see you again."

"I couldn’t bear to die like that, not without seeing you one last time."

He murmured, "I struggled in the fire for a long time, trying to get the children back to you, but I had no strength left. I could only watch as the flames consumed me. I used the very last of my power to protect those two children..."

"I also worried about how devastated you would be after I died. I worried that with me gone, someone might bully you, and I wondered how you would manage on your own..." He trailed off, giving a bitter smile. "But now I see I worried too much. You never needed me to worry about you at all."

Sang Luo hugged him tightly, her vision blurred with tears as she shook her head over and over. "No, that’s not it! I was devastated when you died. You were the first man I was ever with, and my first children were yours!"

"I went looking for you back then, but I couldn’t find you anywhere. I dug through the ruins with my bare hands, stone by stone, until they bled, but I couldn’t find a single thing you left behind. That fire burned everything to ash."

"I thought you and the children were gone forever. It felt like half my soul had been torn away."

"You didn’t even come looking for me after you came back to life. You’re the one who forgot about me!"

Her voice was choked with sobs.

Quan Jin’s heart ached, and when he heard that her hands had bled for him, the pain intensified. He held her even tighter. "I’m sorry, Sangsang."

Not far away, Fei Yuan watched them in silence, not daring to interrupt. His right hand rested over his heart; it was the first time he had ever felt such a powerful emotional surge from her.

’I’ve lost two lives for her, and I’ve probably never elicited a reaction like this.’

’A female’s first Beast Husband is always the one she loves most deeply, the one she can never forget.’

’I wasn’t the first to make her heart flutter.’

’She came into my life far too late... But then again, hadn’t I come into hers too late as well?’

Fei Yuan took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the turmoil in his heart. He had intended to let them finish their reunion, but for the first time in his centuries of life, he felt a lack of confidence. He was genuinely afraid this Snake Beast would steal Luo’er away!

He stepped forward and took her other hand, his expression grim. "Luo’er, it’s only natural to have lingering feelings, but he’s not just some simple Demon Envoy. Getting entangled with him won’t do you any good."

Quan Jin shot him a cold glance but, surprisingly, said nothing. He simply lowered his head, placed a kiss on her forehead, and let go, turning to leave.

This time, however, Sang Luo grabbed his hand. "Wait."

Fei Yuan couldn’t bear to watch any longer. "Luo’er!"

Sang Luo slowly pried Fei Yuan’s fingers from her arm. His grip had suddenly become forceful. Her eyes pleaded with him. "Fei Yuan, I know what you’re worried about. I’m fine, and I’m not going anywhere. But there are some things I need to ask Quan Jin. Can I go back to the palace with you after I’m done?"

Fei Yuan watched intently as she slowly pried his hand from hers, and his heart felt as if it were being stabbed over and over. For once, the smile was gone from his face, his lips pressed into a thin line. He didn’t let go, however, simply saying, "Whatever you have to say, say it here. As it happens, I’d like to hear it too."

The Demon Clan and the Beast Clan were mortal enemies, but with Sang Luo connecting them, the two men maintained a superficial harmony.

Sang Luo hesitated for a moment, then turned to Quan Jin. "Back then, the Soul Mark connecting us truly vanished, declaring you dead. But you came back to life as one of the Demon Clan. What exactly happened?"

"You want to know?"

"I do! Everything about you!"

Quan Jin sent a stream of purple spiritual power into the center of her forehead.

It was a memory she had never known.

And with it, Sang Luo learned the truth of his origins.

Quan Jin’s mother, Quan Xiao, was a pure-blooded female from the Soaring Snake Clan, while his father belonged to the Void Fallen Beast Royal Family.

The Void Fallen Beasts were the true Primordial Demons, leading the armies of the Demon Clan in their eternal war against the Beast Clan.

Tens of thousands of years ago, the Demon Clan had been sealed away in the Void Demon Realm. During a time when the seal weakened, his father escaped. On the East Continent, he came across Quan Xiao in a moment of peril and saved her.

The two met, fell in love, and became mates.

But his father’s Demonic Qi was eventually exposed, and he was hunted. Because Quan Xiao was pregnant, he did not retreat to the Exorcism World and instead remained in the Beast World. Ultimately, after a certain incident, he was hunted down and killed by the Old Beast Emperor of the Soaring Snake Clan, who had joined forces with the other King Beasts.

The Old Beast Emperor was furious that his daughter, Quan Xiao, was carrying the offspring of a Demon Beast. But in the end, his deep love for his daughter prevailed. He let bygones be bygones and allowed her to return to the clan to give birth.

However, one person was not pleased.

And they developed the intent to kill.
