Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 347 - 286: Compared to You, I Love Him More

Chapter 347: Chapter 286: Compared to You, I Love Him More

Sang Luo knew she couldn’t hide it from him.

Minos knew she would run away tonight, yet he indulged her escape. He wanted to see into her heart one more time, to see if she would truly leave him without a shred of reluctance.

Sang Luo said coldly, "Are you here to invite me back, or to drag me back?"

"To invite you back."

"You want to force me to stay."

Minos’s gaze fell on Sang Luo’s overly calm, silent face. Something was slowly vanishing from her eyes. His heart felt a faint sting, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. "Luoluo, I don’t want to hide it from you. I... I can’t let you go. The deeper my feelings for you become, the less I can tolerate you sharing your love and affection with other Male Beasts. I want you to stay by my side forever, and only by my side."

"If you don’t let me go, I’ll hang myself or bash my head against a wall."

"You value your life too much. You would never kill yourself."

"...Yes. But I will try to kill you. Do you want to spend every night wary of the person sleeping beside you?" Sang Luo’s eyes were filled with coldness as she looked at him. "Forcing me to stay by your side—do you really think you’ll be happy?"

Minos closed his eyes, then opened them again. He was like an iceberg reforming, his voice detached and slow. "I indulge your every whim and would never harm you. But I’ve developed the intent to kill your other Beast Husbands, and they are no match for me. If you insist on being difficult with me, I will eliminate all ’factors’ causing discord between us."

"You dare!"

Sang Luo’s eyes widened. She clenched her fists and said angrily, "Minos, do you understand why I didn’t want Duotu? Do you understand why Aunt Anano ended up like that? Don’t do something you’ll regret for the rest of your life!"

"..." This was also the reason Minos hadn’t truly tried to kill Fei Yuan that night. He couldn’t allow himself to become another one of her cast-offs. He couldn’t bear to see her repeat the same mistakes, and he certainly didn’t want her to hate him for the rest of her life.

"So, you choose him, not me?" Minos asked, his eyes dark and heavy.

"You want the truth?"

"Yes." His voice was light, but it didn’t seem as resolute as before. He was like a tattered paper lantern tossed into a gale, on the verge of collapsing.

"Fei Yuan has lost two lives for me. In my heart, I love him more." Sang Luo looked directly into Minos’s constricting golden pupils, speaking each word deliberately. "Compared to you, I would choose my other Beast Husbands." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Minos was rendered speechless. His chest heaved violently, and his fingers, hidden in his sleeves, clenched until his knuckles were bone-white. After a long moment, his breathing gradually calmed, and he returned to his initial cold arrogance. "I am not the special, the only one in your heart. I don’t even compare to your other Beast Husbands. You’ve already threatened me with death. There’s no need for me to forcibly keep your body and soul."

A contract shimmering with golden light appeared in his palm.

"I have fulfilled my part of the agreement, but you have not. This transaction is not yet over."

Sang Luo’s heart suddenly went still. ’What is he planning to do?’

’Is he going to use the contract to blackmail me?’

’Or has he flown into a rage out of shame and intends to use the Heaven and Earth Contract to obliterate me for breaking my promise?’

A thousand terrible scenarios flashed through Sang Luo’s mind. Her body tensed, and cold sweat beaded on her back. But in the next second, she saw Minos raise his hand and use the Power of Space-Time to erase the contract. It dissolved into a wisp of golden light and scattered into the world. "I am letting you go. From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other. Let us forget one another."

After saying this, Minos’s figure vanished.

With his departure, the Holy Seal in Sang Luo’s hand also disappeared.

A golden barrier rose outside the Holy Palace, sealing Sang Luo out. From now on, she would never be able to enter this place again.

Minos had drawn a clear line between them. There were no ties between them anymore. It was as if they had never met.

What shocked Sang Luo the most was that the laws of space-time were powerful enough to reverse a Heaven and Earth Contract! ’In that case, Minos could theoretically retract the soul mark too!’

Sang Luo checked for it but was even more shocked and confused. He hadn’t retracted the soul mark.

’Did he forget... or...’

Her feelings were complicated.

But for her, it wasn’t a bad thing.

Sang Luo lingered outside the Holy Palace for a moment before leaving the Holy Domain and returning to the East Continent.

Sang Luo was most worried about Fei Yuan. After all, Minos was a Divine Angel who had lived for a thousand years. His power was unfathomable, and Fei Yuan was no match for him.

According to the Servants at the Holy Palace, the commotion the night before last had been significant. Minos and Fei Yuan hadn’t fought inside the Holy Palace—if they had truly clashed there, the entire palace would have been razed to the ground.

The two had fought in a separate Domain they had created themselves.

The fire that had burned down half the Holy Palace was merely a stray spark that had escaped the battlefield. One could only imagine how terrifying the real battlefield must have been.

Fei Yuan couldn’t have just sustained minor injuries. Otherwise, given his personality, he wouldn’t have fled that same night.

By now, the sky was just beginning to lighten. It was time for the morning court session. Sang Luo went straight to the bedchambers. Just as she expected, Fei Yuan hadn’t gone to court. He was inside, recuperating from his injuries, looking somewhat listless.

"Fei Yuan."

"Luoluo."

Surprise showed on Fei Yuan’s face. He quickly threw on an outer robe, walked over, and embraced her. "I haven’t even gone to get you yet. You came back on your own so soon?"

"I didn’t want to stay at the Holy Palace anymore. I wanted to come back to you," Sang Luo said, burying her face in his chest.

Fei Yuan stroked her soft hair, a deep smile in his eyes. "Oh? It seems Little Luoluo has had a change of heart. An old flame is still the best, hmm?"

Sang Luo ignored his teasing and slid her hand under his hastily tied outer robe, tracing his waist to his back. "Your injuries..."

Fei Yuan caught her hand and placed it over his heart. "Don’t worry, I’m fine. The child just hatched after so much trouble. I haven’t even gotten to enjoy having them at my knee yet."

Sang Luo looked up at him, her eyes slowly turning red.

Fei Yuan’s heart tightened, but he gave a helpless smile. "This Emperor values his life more than anything. That Angel wanted to kill me, but it’s not that easy."

"Are you really okay?" she asked, unconvinced.

Fei Yuan gently wiped away the couple of small teardrops welling in the corners of her eyes with the pad of his thumb. "You shouldn’t underestimate your own importance. Minos didn’t dare to strike a fatal blow. There’s a minor realm between us, but since we’re both in the Supreme Realm, it wasn’t so easy for him to kill me. I only suffered some minor injuries. I’ve applied medicine, and I’ll be fine in a couple of days."

"Then let me see."

"..."

Seeing he couldn’t win against her, Fei Yuan hesitated for a moment before taking off his outer robe.

When Sang Luo saw the wounds on his back and arms, fresh tears streamed from her eyes.

Minos had indeed held back from killing Fei Yuan, intentionally avoiding his vital points. But the blows were by no means light. Wounds caused by the Power of Space-Time were difficult to heal. Fei Yuan’s shoulders and back were covered in many small, fine lacerations that were still bleeding. It was a good thing he wore a black and red robe that could hide the bloodstains.

Sang Luo reached out and pinched his arm. "You had nothing better to do than to deliberately provoke Minos? Did you think you have too many lives to spare?!"

Fei Yuan hissed lightly, his voice faint. "I was just... a little unwilling to accept it. I wanted to test out this newcomer you found, see how he measured up to me."

He huffed softly, revealing a rare bit of childishness. "He is a few hundred years older than me, after all. He really hits hard. When I get the chance, I’ll go find him again for another fight... I mean, to exchange pointers."

"You and your idle hands!"

Furious, Sang Luo pinched his arm again.

"Ow!"
