Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 361 - 300: Enjoying Status Through Her Child

Chapter 361: Chapter 300: Enjoying Status Through Her Child

Time stood still.

Everyone in the room froze except for Sang Luo. She turned her head toward the man walking through the doorway. Light spilled over his tall, slender frame, making him look like a god descending to the mortal world.

Minos was once again wearing that long, cloaked robe, his eyes covered by a strip of White Silk. He was so thoroughly concealed that even his face was a blur. ’Tsk, so high and mighty, as if he wants to sever all ties with the world, afraid some filth might tarnish him?’

’It’s not like he’s some truly righteous and holy person himself!’

"So needlessly mysterious and cryptic. You really know how to put on an act," Sang Luo sneered.

Minos paid her words no mind. His gaze, so intense it felt tangible, fell upon her stomach. "The child you are carrying is mine."

His tone was certain, which wasn’t surprising.

Sang Luo recalled that he’d never removed their Soul Mark. ’He probably knew all along and was deliberately using the Soul Mark to spy on me! How kind of him!’

She glanced at the sky, then at the ground, before finally letting her eyes land on him. "Do we know each other?" she asked, feigning confusion.

"..."

"The baby in my belly is my own. What does my child have to do with you?" Sang Luo casually pulled a green fruit from her storage space. Over the past couple of days, her appetite had been growing ravenous, and she had an insane craving for Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures.

"I can sense the child’s aura. It is my own flesh and blood."

"...So what if it is? We severed ties long ago. The child in my belly won’t acknowledge you as a father." She finished the fruit in a few crunchy bites.

’Still hungry. A Saint Rank fruit isn’t filling at all.’

Minos didn’t speak, simply handing her a Qiankun Bag. Sang Luo froze for a second, feeling awkward, but she quickly accepted it with composure. ’The child might not be his in name, but it’s his flesh and blood, no doubt about it!’

’He wants to preserve his bloodline, so it’s only natural for him to provide food!’

Sang Luo opened the Qiankun Bag and found it filled with Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—all of them Divine Rank fruits. The mere fragrance was enough to make her mouth water. She picked one up and began eating without a shred of guilt.

Divine Rank fruits tasted incredible and were highly nutritious. After eating just one, her stomach felt completely full.

"That is a month’s supply. When you finish it, I will bring you more."

"Why not just give it all to me at once? Don’t you find it a hassle, running back and forth? Hmph, so stingy!"

After stowing the fruit, Sang Luo got up to leave.

"You..." Minos started to say something, but he pressed his lips together before continuing in a low voice, "The offspring of the Angel Clan should be raised in the Holy Hall."

"Heh, is the great Holy Monarch tactfully begging me to return?"

"...Yes. I’m asking you to come back."

"From your dry tone, that doesn’t sound like someone asking a favor. I don’t like it." Sang Luo waved her hand dismissively. "The Holy Monarch should go attend to his own affairs. Just remember to bring food next time. I have other things to do, so I won’t keep you company."

"Don’t go to the Void Demon Realm anytime soon," Minos said suddenly after a moment of silence.

Sang Luo stopped in her tracks. ’He even guessed... or rather, saw it.’ She was worried about Quan Jin and had been looking for a chance to check on her, but she wouldn’t act rashly and was still hesitating. For Minos to say this, he must have seen something in the currents of time.

"Understood. Thank you for the warning, Holy Monarch." Her tone shifted again as she looked at Minos with a smile. "However, if I were to truly face a fatal danger, the Holy Monarch surely wouldn’t stand by and watch. You would come and save me."

She patted her stomach confidently. "I’ll definitely be fine, right?"

’If Minos had truly "seen" an irreversible tragedy, he couldn’t possibly be this calm. After all, she was carrying his child. He might not care about her, but he would absolutely care about this child.’

’The gestation period for this child is very long. I can enjoy the prestige that comes with carrying it for a while.’

’At least for the duration of the pregnancy, my life is absolutely guaranteed.’

"Mm."

"Good. Then I can rest easy~"

Sang Luo brushed past him. For an instant, the man’s aura wavered—a turbulent undercurrent trying to hide beneath a calm surface. The fingers at his side twitched, and a slender hand shot out from his sleeve, grabbing her arm. "Luoluo."

Sang Luo pulled her arm free. "Don’t worry. I won’t do anything to this child. Just like you, I hope for its safe birth."

Minos watched her go, his figure gradually fading into thin air.

"Luoluo, is Little Carp with you?" Sang Luo had just returned to the residence arranged by the City Lord when Lou Xianyue hurried over.

"No. Wasn’t she sleeping in this morning? I thought she didn’t come out with us." A sense of dread washed over Sang Luo, and she quickly used her child-summoning ability.

The next second, Little Carp appeared in her arms. She had a piece of candy in her mouth and blinked her big, watery blue eyes at them. "Daddy, Mommy, I finally found you! Huh? Where did those uncles go?"

Sang Luo quickly plucked the candy from her mouth. She let out a huge sigh of relief only after making sure it wasn’t poisoned. "What uncles?"

’Don’t tell me she ran into kidnappers!?’

"A few uncles came over. They said they’d take me to find Mommy and Daddy, and they gave me yummy candy."

’...’ ’The first one to get tricked wasn’t Little Zhi Xin, but Little Carp!’ A vein throbbed in Sang Luo’s temple. "From now on," she said sternly, "unless it’s Mommy, Daddy, or our uncles, don’t you ever take candy from anyone. And don’t go anywhere with strangers, do you understand? Those people are bad guys!"

"Okay, okay, I know, Mommy."

Lou Xianyue also breathed a sigh of relief. They had been so busy lately that there were bound to be oversights.

"It must be the bandits in the city," Lou Xianyue said. "They’ve intercepted me a few times when I’ve gone out, trying to rob me of my Talismans. They must have seen me carrying Little Carp before and decided to target the weakest child for a ransom."

"Desperate refugees turn to banditry," Sang Luo sighed, shaking her head. "It’s not safe in the city anymore. It’s time to move on."

"Yes. The city’s supplies have been distributed. It’s time to leave."

...

「Yanglai City. Floods were rampant.」

Lou Xianyue went to slay the Disaster Beast, while Si Ye took her place calming the public and managing the disaster. Sang Luo took the children with her to distribute supplies.

These children were usually so coddled. They hadn’t seen any of the wickedness in the Human World. After some thought, Sang Luo decided it was best to let them out and about more often. Otherwise, they’d grow up too naive and would surely suffer for it later.

Little Zhi Xin held Little Carp, following closely behind Sang Luo. With their good looks combined, the two sisters were incredibly eye-catching wherever they went.

"Little sister is so pretty and smells so nice!" Little Zhi Xin planted a kiss on Little Carp’s fair, tender cheek and put her own little hat on her sister’s head to shield her from the sun.

"I like Sister Zhi Xin~"

The two sisters certainly got along well.

Sang Luo, holding Little Qi in her arms, noticed it was in low spirits. She gently rubbed its little head and asked, "Little Qi, why are you so down? Did something happen?"

"Mommy, ever since my sister came back last time, she hasn’t spoken to me at all."

Sang Luo thought for a moment before comforting Little Qi. "She was probably frightened into a deep sleep. She’ll likely be fine after a little while."

"Mm." Little Qi nodded. "Mommy, can you take my sister out, too? I want to hatch her sooner."

Sang Luo burst out laughing. "You’re trying to steal your dad’s job."
