Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 374 - 313: Sleeping Together

The sun was blazing overhead as soldiers trained on the practice grounds.

It was Sang Luo’s first time visiting this place.

The rolling mountains seemed to have been sliced flat by a celestial blade, creating a vast plateau. Even from a distance, she could hear the sound of a waterfall blending with the deep, uniform shouts, the ceaseless clang of swords and spears, and the roars of beasts.

The clamor shook the trees and seemed to stop the clouds in their tracks.

Si Ye had shed his usual robes for a narrow-sleeved, light armored tunic. He had a tall, flawless physique, with dark Golden Scale Armor bracers on his wrists and a Red Tassel Spear in hand.

He was drilling the new Beast Soldiers.

He had picked five or six Beastmen to join him on the sparring platform for practice.

A Dragon Turn, followed by a sweeping Reversing Lance.

His movements were sharp and dashing, his robes whipping in the wind. He moved as smoothly as flowing water, as lithe as a swimming dragon.

In just a few moves, without using a shred of Spiritual Power, he sent all the Beastmen flying off the platform using pure technique alone. A new group immediately took their place, and the training continued.

"Young Master~! Your spear work is wonderful~!"

Sang Luo said with a wide grin, cupping her right hand to her mouth like a megaphone to cheer for him on the platform.

A few of the nearby Beast Soldiers glanced over.

Si Ye didn’t pause; the spear in his hands just moved faster and with more stability.

"My Lady, you’re here. Would you like some water? You can wait for a bit, or I can call the Young Master down for you now."

Sang Luo accepted the water and took a sip. It was cool, sweet spring water. "No need. You all go on with your work. I just came to watch."

She walked into the shade of a tree and found an empty spot to sit and watch. In her lap, Little Zhenzhen was intently nibbling on a small piece of jerky. Their daughter had grown a bit now; she spent most of her time running off to play and didn’t require constant supervision, which meant Si Ye had time to return to his old routine.

As the sun began to set, the commotion on the practice grounds gradually subsided. Drenched in sweat after a full day of training, Si Ye took a towel from an attendant, wiped his neck, and casually tossed his spear back onto the weapon rack.

He leaped lightly off the platform and headed toward the trees.

Sang Luo got up and dusted off her skirt, about to pounce on him for a kiss when Si Ye caught her, his hands hooking under her arms to stop her. He glanced down at her round waist, a hint of admonishment in his handsome eyes. "You’re pregnant. Be careful."

"I’m fine! Perfectly fine!"

"Mm, you’re heavier. You’ve put on quite a bit of weight since before. Looks like the food in the Angel Clan is pretty good."

Sang Luo’s face fell at his words.

"A little extra weight is nice. It’s cute," Si Ye said, carrying her as they walked back. He reached out to pinch her rounded cheek and flashed a brilliant smile that revealed his canines. "Little Zhenzhen and I can eat all we want and never gain a pound."

"You’re just saying that to annoy me!"

"Haha." His laughter was clear and pleasant. "How long are you back for this time?"

"I’m here for a long stay this time. Probably for about half a year."

Si Ye’s expression sobered. He sensed something was wrong. "Is there trouble at the Holy Palace?"

"Yeah, it’s not good. I don’t know the details, but it was dangerous for me to be there, so Minos sent me back. He said he’ll come get me after he handles things, so I can finish out my pregnancy over there."

"That Angel can’t even sort out his own affairs, yet he dared to have you over there? How irresponsible," Si Ye said indignantly. "Stay with me. I’ll protect you!"

Sang Luo laughed, teasing him. "Your uncle and that ’old Angel’ you’re talking about are both Supreme Realm experts. If there’s real trouble, I’d be looking for them, not you. You can’t protect me."

Si Ye deflated. He had been so focused on raising their child for the past few years that his Cultivation hadn’t progressed. That’s why he had been training and cultivating so intensely for the last two months.

Sunset clouds filled the sky, painting long shadows beneath the trees.

Si Ye walked Sang Luo slowly back to the Marquis Mansion. When he heard her stomach growl, he chuckled. "Have an appetite tonight? What are you in the mood for?" 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Sang Luo rubbed her belly. She was indeed hungry. Licking her lips, she said, "I want barbecue and bobo chicken skewers."

The food at Minos’s place had been incredibly bland, with a long list of forbidden ingredients. She felt like her taste buds had gone numb. She could finally have a change of pace at Si Ye’s. The sour, spicy, and fragrant bobo chicken, the small barbecue skewers... she’d been craving them for ages!

Si Ye refused sternly. "You’re pregnant. You can’t eat that stuff."

"This is my one little joy. Are you going to take that away from me too?" Sang Luo sniffled, looking at him with pitiful eyes.

’Pregnant women are notoriously moody,’ he thought. ’If I don’t let her have it, she might actually burst into tears right here and now.’

Si Ye sighed. "Fine. But just a little. If Fei Yuan finds out, he’ll have my hide."

"Alright!" Sang Luo planted a big kiss on his handsome face. "Ah Ye, you’re the best!"

Si Ye’s heart felt warm and fuzzy. When they got back to the Marquis Mansion, he placed some fragrant, flaky pastries on the table. "Snack on these to satisfy your craving for now. I’m all sweaty and uncomfortable, so I’m going to take a quick shower. I’ll make dinner for you after."

"Go on, go on." Sang Luo waved him off, popping a pastry into her mouth. It was soft and melted on her tongue, with a rich floral aroma.

’I’ll have to ask him which bakery he got these from,’ she thought. ’I’ll buy some more next time.’

Si Ye took a lightning-fast shower, changed into a loose, pine-green robe, and went to putter around in the kitchen.

All the spices and ingredients were on hand, so it was quick and easy to prepare.

After Sang Luo had eaten her fill, she went to the Phoenix Palace to see Fei Yuan. The moment her feet touched the ground, she was embraced from behind.

Fei Yuan’s warm breath tickled her ear, sending a pleasant tingle down her spine. His voice held a hint of complaint. "When did you get back? You didn’t even tell me."

"I got back this morning. You were sleeping."

"Why didn’t you wake me?" Fei Yuan said, pinching her soft, pale earlobe.

"You were exhausted and needed to rest. How could I bear to wake you?" Sang Luo turned and pecked him on his beautiful lips.

Fei Yuan’s phoenix eyes crinkled in a smile. He carried her back to their bedchamber, hoping for a night of intimacy, but the ever-clueless Si Ye insisted on joining them. Sang Luo lay in the middle of the bed with Fei Yuan on her right. The moment he saw an opening, Si Ye slithered onto her left side like a slippery eel.

A vein throbbed on Fei Yuan’s temple. "Get off."

"I won’t!"

’As long as I’m here, he can forget about having Luoluo all to himself!’

’The baby Luoluo’s carrying isn’t his this time, so we’re equals now. This old geezer has no right to monopolize her bed anymore.’

Fei Yuan wanted to kick him off the bed.

But Si Ye clung stubbornly to the edge of the bed, refusing to let go.

"You two, settle down and get to sleep!" Sang Luo smacked each of them. She was exhausted, and their bickering was starting to get on her nerves.

The two of them finally settled down, forced into a peaceful coexistence on either side of her.

Fei Yuan, ever the cunning elder, seized the initiative. He hooked an arm around Sang Luo’s waist, pulling her slightly closer.

Not to be outdone, Si Ye stealthily sent his tail sneaking over, intending to wrap it around Sang Luo’s waist. Instead, he accidentally coiled it around Fei Yuan’s arm. Fei Yuan slapped it away. "Touch your uncle again," he growled, his voice low and his smile mirthless, "and I’ll break that tail of yours."

A shiver ran down Si Ye’s spine, and he quickly retracted his tail. After a moment’s thought, he gently wrapped it around Sang Luo’s calf instead.

They slept soundly through the night.

Sang Luo slept until the sun was high in the sky and woke up feeling wonderfully refreshed.

When she opened her eyes, the space to her right was empty. Si Ye on her left had either just woken up or had been awake for a while, but like her, he was still lazing in bed.

Seeing that Sang Luo was awake, Si Ye withdrew his tail from her waist and swished it in the air.

Sang Luo blinked. She suddenly noticed that the small tuft of brown fur at the tip of his tail was shaped a bit like a heart. ’Isn’t that just like a little Enchanting Demon?’

Her eyes lit up, and she reached out to grab it.

Si Ye’s long tail dodged nimbly, and Sang Luo missed.

She reached for it again.

After failing a few times, Sang Luo started to get discouraged and gave up. Si Ye then deliberately slowed his movements by a beat, allowing her to successfully catch his tail in her hand.

Sang Luo stroked it a couple of times before the tip slipped from her grasp again, tempting her to lunge forward once more.

After a few more rounds of this game, Sang Luo suddenly realized she was now straddling Si Ye’s waist.

’I’ve fallen into his trap!’
