Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 299 - 238: Your Majesty, Behave Yourself

Sang Luo retrieved a plate of Spirit Fruit from her storage space, sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, and enjoyed the cool breeze and beautiful scenery as she contentedly munched on the fruit. She didn’t pay it much mind.

Her spiritual power, however, was constantly focused on her eldest son.

You’d never find such a wonderful environment in the Void Demon Realm. Little Qi swam about joyfully in the pond, occasionally catching small fish and shrimp to fill its belly.

The fish and shrimp Fei Yuan raised in the palace pond were all top-grade Spiritual Objects, making for a highly nourishing meal.

Little Qi’s belly was soon bulging.

It gave a lazy yawn, glanced toward its mother in the pavilion, and swam a little closer. It then coiled its long, slender body atop a lotus flower in full bloom and fell asleep.

It hadn’t been asleep for long before it got hungry again and swam back into the water to hunt...

Sang Luo was amused. If she kept bringing Little Qi over to play every day, it wouldn’t be long before all the spirit fish Fei Yuan was raising in the pond were eaten.

’Thinking about that old bird’s recent behavior,’ she scoffed internally, ’Hmph! I’ll let my son eat his fill. Eat him out of house and home!’

As the sun set, the evening breeze grew chilly. Sang Luo finished off a few plates of Spirit Fruit, then casually tossed the pits into a few corners of the garden. She channeled her power, and tender shoots soon sprouted from the soil...

She clapped her hands and called out toward the pond,

"It’s getting late, and the water is cold. Little Qi, hurry and come out before you catch a cold."

"I’m not cold, Mother," Little Qi said, but it obediently came out anyway.

It swam onto the stone table.

Sang Luo took out a handkerchief embroidered with azaleas and wiped down its small body.

She dried it until it was spotless.

Little Qi climbed onto her wrist and coiled itself up. It was so happy to be spending its days playing with its mother, but then it let out an uncharacteristic sigh. "If only my sister were here. She misses you a lot too, Mother..."

"That’s right, where is your sister? Has she not hatched yet? Is she with your father?" Sang Luo asked.

Her eldest daughter’s situation had been full of twists and turns. As soon as she said it, Sang Luo shook her head. ’Quan Jin sent Little Qi here for his safety. There’s no way he wouldn’t have also sent his daughter, who is even more defenseless.’

"My sister isn’t with Father. She was taken away by someone..." Little Qi whispered. "I don’t know who it was. My sister said she’s very scared."

Sang Luo’s heart tightened. "But your sister hasn’t hatched yet, has she? How do you know she’s scared?"

"My sister’s hatching is being obstructed, so it’s taking time, but she’s fully developed. And, something you and Father don’t know, is that my sister and I have a special kind of telepathic link. We’re always whispering secrets to each other!" Little Qi proudly wagged the tip of its tail. "I told her last time that I’d met you, and she was so jealous. She wants to meet you too. She’s never even seen you before."

"When your father brings your sister back, she’ll be able to see me every day." Sang Luo’s heart ached with a bittersweet feeling. Then she remembered something, and her heart sank. "You said your sister was taken away..."

"Yes. Father went back this time to get my sister back from that person."

"..."

’To be able to force Quan Jin to send his child to me for safety... his opponent must be incredibly difficult to handle.’

Quan Jin had said he would be back in a few days to get his child, but he had yet to return.

His Soul Mark was still intact, so Sang Luo could only rest assured for the time being.

’He promised he would bring their child back with his own hands. This time, he definitely won’t break his promise to me.’

One day, while rummaging through Sang Luo’s storage space, Little Qi found a porcelain bottle. "Mother! What’s this? It smells wonderful," it asked curiously.

"Oh, look at my memory. I almost forgot about this. This was prepared for you and your sister. It’s an Elixir that helps King Beast cubs advance their Cultivation. You eat one, and we’ll save the other for your sister."

"Okay!"

Little Qi obediently took the Elixir and soon grew drowsy and fell asleep.

Sang Luo took it back to her chambers to sleep.

「Half a month later.」

It advanced from the Half-King Realm to the True King Realm.

Little Qi was the first child she had given birth to, and its level of Cultivation was closely tied to her own as its mother. Sang Luo’s realm had been too low at the time, so Little Qi’s starting realm was weaker than that of her subsequent children. However, its innate talent was strong, and it would catch up with steady Cultivation.

「A few more months passed.」

Fei Yuan emerged from his seclusion.

After all this time—nearly two years of pregnancy—Sang Luo’s belly was a little larger than it had been a year ago, about the size of a human woman’s at three or four months pregnant.

Fei Yuan was visibly pleased.

"How has Your Majesty’s abstinence been going?" Sang Luo asked, lying in bed and eyeing him with a grin.

Fei Yuan shot her a dark glance, his Adam’s apple bobbing.

Sang Luo’s heart skipped a beat. ’He looks... even more starved.’

’So much for abstinence. He’s just been pent-up for a long time.’

Sang Luo immediately dove back under the covers, distancing herself from him.

Fei Yuan sighed and pulled her out of her "fortress." "Let me see how our child is growing."

Only then did Sang Luo allow him to touch her.

Fei Yuan embraced her, a long-awaited sense of satisfaction washing over him. He reached out to caress her much rounder belly, a wisp of power extending from his jade-white fingertips and sinking inside.

’He had nurtured it well.’

The baby was developing very healthily, and Sang Luo had experienced no discomfort during her pregnancy.

"So, that Divine Poison Pearl... how is Your Majesty’s research coming along?"

"The power of this child should be able to refine it, but it will place a considerable burden on your body. There could be complications during the later stages of your pregnancy or during labor. Do you want to consume it?"

Sang Luo gazed at the pale green pearl in his hand and swallowed hard.

The first moment she saw this Divine Poison Pearl, she had wanted to eat it. But the memory of Poison Yan’s miserable state... Her fear had overridden her appetite.

’If I want to eat it, that means the baby wants to eat it.’

"If Your Majesty is willing to bring this pearl out, you must be fully prepared," she said, raising an eyebrow.

"Correct." Fei Yuan smiled at her. "To put it simply, I’ve extracted a portion of the Divine Poison Pearl’s venom to allow your body to adapt first. Then, after you consume the Divine Poison Pearl, I will use my power to guide it. However, this process may require my Little Luoruo to suffer some physical pain. Do you think you can endure it?"

"...Is it more ’painful’ than what Your Majesty has been through?"

Fei Yuan understood perfectly. He gave her a suggestive, flirty smile. "No."

"Hmph!"

’The nerve of him to even answer.’

"The baby is urging me to eat it~ Your Majesty can start now."

"Alright." Fei Yuan caressed her face. "Take off your clothes."

Sang Luo’s hand froze. She glared at him. ’Undressing in front of him? What’s the difference between that and a lamb willingly walking into a wolf’s den?’

She slowly took off her outer robe, leaving on only her plain white undergarments. She pouted. "Your Majesty had better focus on the task at hand. No funny business."

"How can I guide the energy if I don’t use my hands?"

"...Then behave yourself! Don’t touch anywhere you’re not supposed to."

"Alright," Fei Yuan agreed readily. Seeing she wasn’t taking the rest off, he grew impatient. With a wave of his hand, he stripped her bare with practiced, deadly skill.

"..."

He produced a palm-sized porcelain bowl filled with a fine, red paste that resembled cinnabar.
