Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 348 - 287: Little Fatty Ball

Sang Luo used her Healing Technique again to completely heal the wounds on Fei Yuan’s shoulder. Only then did she relax. She looked around and asked, "Where are Ah Ye and the children? They’re not in the palace?"

Fei Yuan replied, "He took the children back to the Marquis Mansion to play."

Sang Luo guessed that Fei Yuan had most likely told Si Ye to take the children away so they wouldn’t see his injuries. Just as she was about to get up, Fei Yuan grabbed her hand again, pulling her into his arms and settling her onto his lap. He pressed his forehead against hers and murmured softly, "I missed you. Lie with me for a bit."

’Once the children were back, quiet days like this would be hard to find.’

Sang Luo’s limpid eyes blinked. She watched as the man’s luxurious outer robe slid down his broad, well-defined shoulders, pooling at the crook of his arms. It revealed his bare, porcelain-white torso and full, firm muscles. His physique was sheer perfection. ’So appetizing!’

Sang Luo poked his abs with her finger. "Are we *just* going to lie down for a bit?"

Fei Yuan’s gaze darkened, and his lips curved into a smile. "You want to?"

"Are you still in pain?"

"Mmm... It hurts here. If Luo’er gives it a rub, it won’t hurt anymore." He guided her small hand, moving it a little lower.

Sang Luo’s face flushed. ’Looks like he’s really fine!’

Layers of curtains fell, obscuring the amorous scene within, along with the soft moans and low gasps that would make one’s face flush and heart pound.

Fei Yuan knew she wanted to see the children, so he didn’t keep her for too long. Instead, it was Sang Luo who, having not slept the previous night, was overcome with drowsiness and fell asleep.

Fei Yuan didn’t wake her. He lay on his side, propping his head on his hand to watch her. When he got bored, he’d touch her little nose, her eyebrows, her cheeks, her little ears. He’d wrap a lock of her hair around his finger and lightly brush her cheek with the slightly messy ends.

"That tickles." Sang Luo was woken up by his teasing. Having caught up on her sleep, she felt incredibly refreshed.

"Slept your fill?" Fei Yuan brushed the lock of hair over her eyes again.

Sang Luo swatted his face and turned her head away. Glimpsing the dim sky outside the window, she thought they had fooled around all the way until the next morning.

Fei Yuan told her it was 5 p.m.

Their long, ink-black hair was intertwined, making it hard to tell one from the other. Sang Luo shifted, trying to get up, but Fei Yuan pulled her back into his arms. He rested his chin on her head and nuzzled it, his deep voice still a bit hoarse. "Stay with me a little longer."

He hadn’t seen her in months and had missed her terribly, dreaming of her every single night.

A tingling warmth spread through Sang Luo’s ears. She snuggled in his arms for a while longer until her stomach started to RUMBLE. She looked up pitifully. "I’m so hungry. Let’s go to the Marquis Mansion now. Maybe we can still crash for dinner."

"Alright. Let’s get ready and go crash their dinner."

「Marquis Mansion.」

A small white butterfly landed on a flower, and a tiny red figure immediately pounced on it.

It missed.

Little Zhenzhen’s attention was quickly captured by a beautiful blue morpho butterfly. She hopped gleefully through the flower bushes, trying again and again to catch it.

Two fluffy, dusty-grey little furballs stumbled and staggered behind her, like two little ducklings following their mother. They took one step and fell two, and were quickly left behind.

The slightly smaller of the two baby birds let out two little "CHIRP CHIRP~"s.

The careless Little Zhenzhen suddenly slapped her forehead. ’Oh right, my little brother and sister are back there!’ She forgot all about catching the butterfly and ran back to find them.

The flower bushes were dense, and it took her a great deal of effort to find the two little phoenix cubs.

The two little phoenix birds were covered in dirt and weeds. Little Zhenzhen hurriedly patted her head. ’If Dad finds out, he’ll kill me.’

She quickly carried her little brother and sister over to the edge of a pond in her mouth. Scooping up some water with a paw, she gave their little bodies a wash.

The two little phoenix birds’ fluffy down was now soaking wet.

Little Zhenzhen opened her mouth and spat out a ball of fire, intending to dry them off. But she accidentally burned off the few new feathers on one of the phoenix birds. Enraged, the chubby little bird hopped furiously on the ground a few times, then spat a small fireball from its sharp little beak right back at her.

Little Zhenzhen dodged just in time, but a tuft of long fur on the tip of her ear was still singed off.

She shrieked, planted her front paws on the ground with her bottom in the air, and glared at the chubby phoenix bird. A battle was imminent. She spat out another, bigger ball of fire.

Seeing the two of them spitting fire at each other, the slightly skinnier little phoenix bird’s eyes lit up. Not to be outdone, she joined the fray.

Si Ye was in the kitchen cooking. Hearing the commotion, he looked up toward the window and saw that the lakeside pavilion was on fire.

His heart leaped into his throat. He rushed over and wrangled the three cubs, while the servants quickly extinguished the fire. A moment later, and the entire Marquis Mansion would have been burned to the ground by them!

Si Ye demanded, "Which of you three started this?"

"Little brother started it!" Little Zhenzhen said with a wronged expression, pointing at the now-bald little male phoenix bird.

"CHIRP~ It... was not!" The little male phoenix pecked her paw, making her yelp in pain.

Si Ye then asked the skinnier little female phoenix bird, "Who did it?"

"Chirp, Big Brother~" The little phoenix bird, who had been bribed with dried meat by Little Zhenzhen beforehand, sold out her brother without a moment’s hesitation.

The little male phoenix bird grew even more frantic. ’I’m the one who got burned bald! Isn’t it obvious who the victim is?!’

Si Ye’s head throbbed. One Little Zhenzhen was already a handful on a normal day; he really couldn’t manage three of them.

’It’s been two days. Why hasn’t that guy Fei Yuan brought Luoluo back yet?’

"You three, behave yourselves. Dinner will be ready soon. Go play for a bit, but remember—no more playing with fire."

After the three cubs obediently promised with a nod, they ran off to play again.

"Heh heh, so you two can talk now. Little Fatty Ball brother, say ’Big Sister’ for me."

Little Zhenzhen patted Little Fatty Ball’s bald, round head. He was ridiculously plump, a whole size bigger than his little phoenix sister. From a distance, he looked like a little grey furball; now that his few feathers were burned away, he looked even more like a little meatball.

Little Fatty Ball pecked her again. "Don’t call me... Little Fatty Ball!"

Little Zhenzhen had learned her lesson and pulled her paw back quickly. She taunted cheekily, "Little Fatty Ball, Little Fatty Ball! I’m gonna call you that because you *are* a little fatty ball!"

The other little phoenix bird chimed in with two chirps, "Little Fatty Ball~ Big Brother!"

Little Fatty Ball’s face turned bright red. Bullied by the two little females, he let out a WAH and burst into tears. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

The little phoenix sister chirped even more gleefully, "Fatty Ball Big Brother... Chirp~ Crying!"

Little Fatty Ball stopped crying. He tucked his head under his wing, not wanting to look at the two of them.

Little Zhenzhen then turned to the other little phoenix bird. "Little Sister, say ’Big Sister’ for me."

Even though she wasn’t very old herself, she just loved hearing others call her "Big Sister."

The little phoenix bird played dumb and didn’t make a sound, but she did roll her long, beautiful phoenix eyes.

Little Zhenzhen stared. ’...Did Little Sister just roll her eyes at me!?’

"Dinner’s reaaady—"

Si Ye’s voice called from inside the house.

The three cubs’ eyes lit up instantly, and they scurried over to eat.

The two little phoenix birds flapped their chubby little wings, but they couldn’t get off the ground no matter how hard they tried.

Little Zhenzhen deftly curled her long tail around the little phoenix sister, placing her securely between the two horns on her head. Then, she picked up Little Fatty Ball with her mouth.

She had barely taken two steps when she suddenly whipped her head around and shouted toward the entrance,

"Mother!"

The moment she opened her mouth, Little Fatty Ball fell to the ground with a SPLAT.
