Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 300 - 239: You Believe Whatever I Say?

"What’s this?" Sang Luo wrapped a blanket around herself and leaned closer to smell it. The red ointment had a very strange smell.

It was bitter, a bit like medicine...

But not quite...

Fei Yuan swirled his long, elegant fingertips through the paste. "I extracted a trace of venom from the Divine Poison Pearl," he explained, "and fed it to the world’s most toxic creatures. None survived more than three days. I then took their corpses, boiled them down, and after several months of refinement, I created this small bowl of poison ointment."

He seemed to ignore Sang Luo’s strange expression, chuckling softly. "Don’t be fooled by this small, palm-sized bowl. It contains the essences of three hundred and ninety-nine deadly poisonous creatures... Luo’er, if you can’t bear it, don’t use Purification. Otherwise, all this effort will be for nothing."

"You really have the heart to do this to me!" Sang Luo swallowed, a wave of fear washing over her. "Is it too late to say I don’t want to do this anymore?"

"It’s not too late."

Fei Yuan looked at her. "Our child’s talent will naturally be extraordinary. This is just icing on the cake. If you don’t want to do it, we don’t have to."

Sang Luo stared at the bowl of poison ointment, utterly conflicted.

’The best time to enhance a child’s talent is during pregnancy. The greater the child’s talent and cultivation, the more spiritual feedback I’ll receive in return. It’ll only hurt for a little while. It’s nothing!’

"Alright! Let’s do it!"

Seeing her expression of grim resolve, Fei Yuan clutched his stomach, laughing even harder.

"Did you really believe what I said?"

"What! You tricked me!"

"What poisonous creatures? How could I ever bear to do that to my precious Luo’er?" Fei Yuan pinched her cheek and chuckled. "I refined this using the venom of the Divine Poison Pearl and various nourishing Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures that synergize with it. It’s completely beneficial for your body, with no downsides. Now, lie face down on the bed, and I will guide it for you."

Annoyed, Sang Luo pinched his waist before lying down on her stomach on the bed.

Worried she might be uncomfortable, Fei Yuan tucked two soft pillows under her.

Sang Luo hugged one pillow and rested her head on it.

Fei Yuan pulled the snow-white blanket over her from the waist down. Then, from somewhere, he produced a thin leather cord and used it to tie up her silky, jet-black hair. The sight of her beautiful, porcelain-white back was dazzling, and he found he could hardly look away.

He took a deep breath to calm himself. Dabbing his fingertips in the red ointment, he began to trace one intricate rune after another, starting from her left shoulder blade.

The moment the red ointment touched her body, a fiery, burning sensation flared across her skin, as if she were being pricked by fine needles.

A soft moan escaped Sang Luo’s lips against her will.

Fei Yuan’s fingertips trembled. ’This is going to be the death of me!’

He forcefully suppressed his stirring arousal and continued to draw the runes on her back.

She cried out with every movement of his hand.

Fei Yuan was practically on fire.

’If he didn’t have a serious task at hand, he would have taken her right then and there.’

"Luo’er, just endure it for a little longer. The pain will slowly fade."

The body needs to slowly adapt to the toxin’s influence.

Sang Luo could only cover her mouth, her shoulders trembling.

An hour later, the burning pain slowly subsided.

Eventually, she could barely feel it anymore.

After the initial shock of the toxin came the nourishment of the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. She found it surprisingly comfortable. Her tense body gradually relaxed, and she nearly drifted off to sleep.

Fei Yuan worked from morning until evening. When he was finally done, he placed a piece of Ice Jade over the porcelain bowl to prevent the venom and spiritual energy from dissipating. "I’ll perform this guidance once every seven days," he said. "After at least six months, if you don’t show any delayed rejection, I’ll have you try consuming the Divine Poison Pearl."

"Okay," Sang Luo’s voice was languid and weary.

She used her spiritual power to see the runes Fei Yuan had drawn on her back. With time, the power in the runes would seep into her body to be absorbed by the fetus in her womb, after which the runes would vanish without needing to be washed off.

Although Sang Luo had barely moved all day while lying on the bed, she was still exhausted. An indescribably intense hunger gnawed at her from within.

She took Crystal Stones and Spirit Fruits from her storage space to eat. Fei Yuan thoughtfully handed her several Divine Grade Spirit Fruits as well. Only after eating her fill did the intense hunger finally subside, and her energy mostly returned.

As Sang Luo reached for her clothes, Fei Yuan caught her wrist and pulled her into his arms.

She looked up and met the man’s deep phoenix eyes. His voice was husky, "Luo’er is full. Isn’t it my turn to eat now?"

He lowered his head, his lips finding hers.

Sang Luo only had time for a soft gasp

before he pushed her down onto the bed. The red curtains fell, once again filling the room with an amorous air.

Having learned his lesson from last time, Fei Yuan didn’t dare go too far. He stopped after making sure she was satisfied and comfortable, not indulging himself further.

The night sky outside the window was already beginning to lighten.

After holding his beloved and sharing another tender moment, he rose early to brew a bowl of fetus-preserving medicine and fed it to her.

Sang Luo lazily drifted back to sleep.

By the time she woke up again, it was already late in the morning. Fei Yuan had already finished with the morning court session and returned.

These days, he didn’t even go to Yangxin Hall, having moved a desk into their bedchamber to review his memorials.

That way, he could watch her at all times.

Sang Luo didn’t know how he managed to divide his attention so effectively, but she let him do as he pleased.

She went to Chaolu Palace to play with Little Qi for the day.

’There was still no news from its father. I wonder how things are going in the Demon Realm.’

Life settled into a peaceful routine again.

Sang Luo kept feeling like she had forgotten something. It hit her all at once—some time ago, she had promised Si Ye she would come stay at the Marquis Mansion. But with so much happening lately, she had put it on the back burner. Si Ye hadn’t brought it up again, so the matter had almost slipped her mind completely.

’I’ve been neglecting Ah Ye lately,’ she thought. ’He must miss me terribly. It’s been a long time since I’ve seen Little Zhenzhen, too. I wonder how it’s doing with its homework.’

Sang Luo said to Fei Yuan, "I’m moving to the Marquis Mansion to live for a few months."

"A few months? That’s too long. I can’t bear to be without you."

"One month, at least!" She had to be fair to all her men. She’d already stayed in Phoenix Palace for long enough due to one thing or another. Fei Yuan was thoroughly satisfied, but the others were being neglected.

Fei Yuan agreed. He gave her the ointment and said, "Remember to have Little Ye apply this for you."

"Okay."

Sang Luo secretly went to the Marquis Mansion in the middle of the night. She didn’t tell Si Ye beforehand, planning to give him a surprise.

She first peeked into Little Zhenzhen’s room. It was late, and it was sleeping soundly.

Then she went to the bedchamber.

Si Ye wasn’t there.

A faint light glowed from the study. ’Why isn’t he asleep this late? What book could he possibly be reading?’ 𝕗𝚛𝚎𝚎𝐰𝗲𝗯𝗻𝚘𝚟𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝕞

As Sang Luo got closer, she heard a strange sound.

She stopped in her tracks.

The dim light faintly outlined a man’s figure.

He was sitting in a chair.

His hand was moving.

A soft, quiet sound rose and fell, changing with the speed of the motion.

It stopped with a muffled groan.

His neck was tilted back, his chest heaving violently.

A moment later, it started again.

’This...’

’Could Ah Ye be...?’

Sang Luo’s face flushed hot. For a moment, she was frozen, unsure if she should go in.

Suddenly, the door opened.
