Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 308 - 247: Something Happened to the Little Lion Cub?

Chapter 308: Chapter 247: Something Happened to the Little Lion Cub?

"I’ll issue a new law right now. Let’s see who dares to gossip. I’ll have their tongues ripped out!" Fei Yuan cut her off.

Sang Luo chuckled. "Alright, go ahead and issue it. The people will just call you a tyrant again."

"As if this Emperor has ever cared about such empty words. When are we getting married?"

Seeing how excited Fei Yuan was, she knew there was no way she could refuse this time.

Sang Luo said, "You pick an auspicious date, then."

’It’s a bit embarrassing,’ she thought. ’I’m only a woman in my twenties, in the prime of my life, yet how many times have I been married? And every wedding has been so exhausting!’

Lost in thought, she mumbled this aloud.

Fei Yuan pulled her onto his lap and chuckled deeply in her ear, his voice seductive. "All these formalities are just for outsiders to see. This Emperor and my Little Luoruo know each other inside and out. Why would we need to care about such things?"

Sang Luo’s face reddened. "Be serious!"

"Alright. If you don’t want to wake up early, then don’t. Just rest well in the palace. If you don’t want to wear those cumbersome ceremonial robes, then don’t wear them. You don’t have to attend any of the social gatherings either. Just do whatever makes you comfortable. How does that sound?"

"Really?" Her eyes sparkled as she gazed at him.

"This Emperor doesn’t care for all that pointless ceremony. Luo’er... you just have to spend a wedding night with me."

Fei Yuan reached out and pressed her head into his chest. Sang Luo grabbed his lapel with one hand and mumbled, "I just gave birth. You need to calm down!"

"Mm." Fei Yuan gently stroked her back, a flash of tenderness in his eyes. "I’m not that greedy."

Although they had said the formalities weren’t important, the wedding ceremony that Fei Yuan single-handedly organized was incredibly grand and lively, with a magnificent procession and a spectacular display of splendor.

And though Sang Luo had complained about it being tiring and said she didn’t want to go, she still woke up early to do her hair and makeup, donning a phoenix coronet and embroidered cape.

’What Male Beast wouldn’t want to see his partner, on the one wedding ceremony of his life, beautifully dressed for the occasion? To hold her hand and declare their vows before everyone, announcing it to the whole world...’

Fei Yuan lifted her out of the sedan chair and set her on the ground.

He gazed at her dazzlingly beautiful appearance, his eyes filled with a tender, lingering smile.

"Luo’er, you are so beautiful today."

Sang Luo also stared intently at the man before her. It was the first time she had seen him in such vibrant red robes; he was so handsome it left her dazed.

’He’s... very suited to red. It makes him even more beautiful.’

"Luo’er, this Emperor has waited for this day."

Under the watchful eyes of ten thousand beasts, Fei Yuan cupped her face and lowered his head to kiss her lips.

This time, the one by her side was him.

...

「At the banquet.」

Lou Xianyue held Little Blue Eucalyptus, watching the orderly progression of the ceremony on the stage, a touch of envy in his heart.

His first meeting with Sang’er had been fraught with complications. They had reconciled later, and now their child was already so big. They were like an old married couple; they probably didn’t have the mind or energy to prepare something like this... He could only look on and enjoy the sight of someone else’s good fortune, but deep down, he still felt a measure of regret.

’If I were to bring it up with Sang’er again, would she think I’m being too childish?’

Lou Xianyue was so lost in thought that he didn’t hear his son calling him several times.

"Daddy, put me down! I want to go eat those Spirit Fruits over there! If I don’t go now, Little Zhenzhen and Little Stone will eat them all!" Little An wriggled in his arms.

Lou Xianyue snapped back to his senses and glanced to the side. The banquet was laden with top-grade Spirit Fruits that were nearly impossible to buy in the outside world.

The little cubs had already eaten all the Spirit Fruits and malt candies on the table in front of them.

He chuckled. "You little ones are really only thinking about eating."

Lou Xianyue glanced at Lan Cang and Si Ye.

The cubs were so focused on eating they didn’t notice the lonely mood of their Beast Fathers at all.

The three of them watched the wedding banquet, each lost in their own thoughts.

「After a long while.」

Si Ye scoffed. "What’s with this guy, putting the three of us in the front row? What’s he thinking?"

’He’s purely trying to make us uncomfortable!’

「After an exhausting day.」

Fei Yuan carried Sang Luo back to their bedchamber.

「That night.」

「Their wedding night.」

Fei Yuan, drunk from the night’s celebration, was exceedingly gentle and tender with her.

...

The Phoenix Emperor threw a grand banquet, which also served as a celebration for the birth of their children. The festivities were set to last for an entire month.

Sang Luo only needed to make an appearance on the first day. After that, she had little to do with it; Fei Yuan handled all the gift exchanges and social obligations between the various clans.

After the banquet ended, Fei Yuan spent a few more days with her before going into seclusion to incubate the eggs.

Sang Luo’s life suddenly became idle again.

On ordinary days, she would find her Beast Husbands to play with the cubs and supervise their studies. There were no other worries to trouble her.

In all her years since transmigrating to the Beast World, this was the first time she had felt so relaxed and at ease, truly enjoying a leisurely life here.

Lan Cang and Lou Xianyue weren’t in a hurry to take their children back either.

Both of them had their own matters to attend to and couldn’t stay in the Central region to accompany her for long. A few days after watching the wedding ceremony, they both departed.

Before Lou Xianyue left, he seemed to have something to say to her, but in the end, he didn’t voice it.

He only tactfully mentioned that she should remember to bring Little An back to the Sea Palace after some time, as Little Carp should be waking up soon.

Sang Luo agreed. She would return to the Sea Palace next month; for this month, she would take the children to play around the East Continent.

Si Ye remained in the palace to continue teaching the children their lessons.

Si Ye was quite pleased. The other Beast Husbands had all left on business, leaving him as the only one by Sang Luo’s side. This gave him time to have her all to himself, and he certainly hadn’t missed any opportunities to sneak a little something extra during this period.

"One, two, three, four, five, six..."

Sang Luo counted them one by one.

She had given birth to a total of eleven cubs. Excluding the two newborn Phoenix Eggs, that left nine. Excluding the still-unawakened Little Carp, that was eight. And excluding her eldest daughter whose fate was unknown, that was seven.

But one cub was still missing.

The little lion, far away on the Western Continent.

Her third child, now six years old, had never properly met her.

She had only seen him a total of two times and had no idea how big he had grown.

A Beast Emperor could summon their offspring.

But the summoning had to be done while avoiding Duotu.

Duotu was a thorn in Sang Luo’s heart. Though she had long since pulled it out, root and all, a scar remained. Since there was no future for them, there was no need to meet again, and she had no desire for him to know she was still alive.

Sang Luo asked Si Ye to calculate the time difference between the two continents, specifically choosing a time when Duotu would be holding court to summon the little lion.

She attempted the summoning, but it failed.

Thinking she must have made a mistake somewhere, she tried summoning Little Zhenzhen, who was playing in the rear garden.

The next second, Little Zhenzhen appeared in her arms, looking up at her blankly with those beautiful, peach-blossom eyes. "Huh? Mother!" 𝚏𝕣𝕖𝚎𝚠𝚎𝚋𝚗𝐨𝐯𝕖𝕝.𝕔𝐨𝕞

"It’s nothing. Mother just wanted to see you. Go on and play." Sang Luo placed her on the ground, and Little Zhenzhen quickly ran off again.

’Strange, there was no mistake that time.’

Sang Luo tried again, summoning the Wolf Pups, Little Qi, and Little An one by one. All the cubs could be summoned to her side successfully. Only the attempt to summon the little lion was completely useless.

She asked Si Ye what was happening, wondering if it was because the distance was too great.

Si Ye shook his head. "Though Emperor Rank females have been few and far between throughout history, as far as I know, there is no difference between a Beast Husband and a Beast Mother when it comes to summoning their offspring. No matter how great the distance, a single thought is all it takes to bring a blood-related child to their side. Unless..."

His voice trailed off.

"The child is dead... or, he is no longer on the Beast World Continent."
