Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 392 - 331: Human-shaped Bomb

"Don’t keep me in suspense, Senior."

Ji Hua kept it brief.

The good news was that Anubia had been successfully resurrected. His limbs were intact, and there was nothing wrong with him.

But the bad news was—

He had run away.

Sang Luo decided to go straight to the North Sea.

Ji Hua came forward to greet her, but he hesitated. "There is something I’m not sure I should say."

"Please speak freely, Senior."

"I do not know what your old acquaintance’s temperament was like before, but after his resurrection, he became extremely demonic. He was crazed, unhinged, and depraved—hardly a benevolent person. I tried to reason with him time and again, but in the end, I couldn’t stop him from escaping."

’...’ Sang Luo recalled that as a member of the Insect Clan, Anubia had always been a bit more wild and unrestrained. ’Perhaps he ran because he just came back to life and didn’t understand the situation, thinking he’d been imprisoned.’

She nodded. "I understand. Thank you, Senior."

The Heaven and Earth Contract binding them was released, proving that Ji Hua had not lied to her.

"Will you send people to look for him?"

Sang Luo shook her head. "Forget it. He ran, so be it. I won’t look for him."

’If Anubia is still the person he used to be and still has feelings for me, he’ll find me on his own.’

’And if his personality has changed after being resurrected and he no longer seeks me out, then I can let it go with a clear conscience.’

So much time had passed that Sang Luo no longer had any romantic feelings for Anubia. She only felt a lingering guilt because the young man had died saving her and her child.

Now that she knew he was alive again, that guilt naturally vanished.

’I’ve repaid him for that life he gave.’

Anu had been given a new life, and the two of them were no longer connected. She hoped he would find a female he liked, cherish this second chance at life, and live well.

Seeing Sang Luo’s calm expression, Ji Hua said no more and took out the Creation Furnace.

When Sang Luo saw the Creation Furnace shattered to pieces, she froze. "This is..."

"Your old acquaintance is quite something. Resurrecting him cost the entire Creation Furnace. It’s completely destroyed."

Her heart aching, Sang Luo gathered the Furnace fragments into her storage space, deciding to ask Ah Ze if it could be repaired.

"With that, my transaction with you is complete. If you need my help again in the future, remember to bring a suitable bargaining chip and come find me in the North Sea."

"Yes. Thank you, Senior."

After leaving the North Sea, Sang Luo made a trip to the South Sea.

Lou Xianyue was delighted to see Sang Luo, but when he noticed her long face, he raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, "What’s wrong, Sang’er? Did something happen? You look unhappy."

"Anubia was resurrected, but he ran off. The Soul Mark between us disappeared long ago, so I have no idea where he went. I suppose we probably won’t see each other again."

Lou Xianyue nodded. "You can’t force fate. If you’re destined to meet again, you will. If not, then you’ll go your separate ways. Try not to dwell on it."

"Yes, that’s what I was thinking." Sang Luo took out the shattered Creation Furnace, and Lou Xianyue stared in shock. "This is an Ancient Divine Artifact! How could it have been destroyed so completely?"

"Ji Hua said the Divine Artifact shattered after he resurrected Anu. I don’t think he would have a reason to lie about something like this." ’Worst comes to worst, I can just find Minos and have him trace back time.’

"Ancient Divine Artifacts contain immense power. Barring any special circumstances, there’s only one reason for one to shatter: its power was completely depleted. But he’s just an ordinary member of the Insect Clan. Resurrecting him shouldn’t have required that much energy."

Lou Xianyue frowned in thought before coming up with the only plausible explanation he could think of. "The Divine Artifact has been passed down through the ages for who knows how many millennia. It could have been damaged at some point. The artifact we acquired might have already been flawed, which would explain why it shattered so easily."

"At least he was resurrected, so it wasn’t a total waste," Sang Luo said, though she still felt it was a pity. "Ah Ze, is there any way to repair the Furnace?"

"Repairing a Magic Artifact isn’t the hard part," Ah Ze replied. "The difficulty lies in finding the right casting materials. To mend it, you need the original materials it was forged from. But the Creation Furnace is an Ancient Divine Artifact. Most of its components have been lost to time. I’m afraid repairing it will be nearly impossible."

Sang Luo didn’t press the issue, and so the matter was dropped.

Over a month later, the New Year was approaching again. Sang Luo considered that she had already spent time with her other Beast Husbands two or three times in rotation, so she decided to spend this New Year at the Southern Soaring Snake Palace.

Quan Jin nodded in agreement. After personally preparing the New Year’s gifts and celebrating the holiday, he spent days and nights entangled with her.

Sang Luo could tell that he wasn’t truly happy; he had no desire to ever meet her other Beast Husbands.

Quan Jin had been extremely possessive of her from the very beginning. He had even wanted to kill Lan Cang back then.

’But I am fated to be unable to give any of them a life of monogamous devotion.’

"Quan Jin, if you ever want to leave, I won’t blame you..."

Quan Jin’s kisses rained down on her, his voice thick with lingering passion. "My only regret is not being by your side from the very beginning. If I wanted to leave, I wouldn’t have been so obsessed with regaining my memories..."

He asked her, "How much room is there for me in your heart now?"

Sang Luo took his hand and placed it over her heart, her eyes shimmering with emotion. "Your mate mark is here. It’s the only one."

Quan Jin smiled.

He was very satisfied.

"Save this place for me. Only for me, forever. Don’t give it to any other male, alright?"

He lowered his head for a kiss and moved his hips. Sang Luo let out a muffled grunt, a soft "Nn."

...

After the New Year, Sang Luo became busy. Over on their end, Little Bai and Leon had nearly finished their preparations.

She had been calling them frequently over the past few days to ask about their progress. She was just waiting to pick an auspicious day to bring them to Zhen Nan City, located on the border between the East and West Continents. Zhen Nan City was a well-developed commercial hub. Its location, foot traffic, and property values made it the perfect place for Little Bai and her team to establish a foothold on the East Continent.

On the final day of their preparations, Sang Luo contacted Little Bai. She could hear a noisy, chaotic crowd on the other end of the line, and she could faintly make out the sound of explosions.

"What’s happening?"

Little Bai’s voice was cutting in and out, making it impossible to understand what she was saying.

"Little Bai? Leon?"

"Ma’am... over here we... AHH!"

With a deafening BOOM, Leon’s voice was suddenly cut off!

Sang Luo tried to reconnect several times, but she couldn’t get through. The Communication Jade Butterfly must have been destroyed in the blast!

’Judging by the sound, the explosion had happened right near them.’

’Did something happen to them?!’

Sang Luo immediately rushed to Radian City on the Western Continent.

Many of the city’s buildings had collapsed. It looked as if a battle had just been fought, with the area bombed beyond recognition.

But a closer look revealed that the damage wasn’t caused by fighter jets or cannons.

Sang Luo found the former site of the Tasting Immortal House.

The restaurant had been destroyed in the blast, and many people were injured.

Leon and the Guard Team were helping the city’s wounded.

Not far away, Little Bai was holding one child and leading several others, organizing the city’s females, young, and elderly to evacuate the blast zone.

Seeing that both of them were alive, Sang Luo breathed a sigh of relief. She was about to go over and ask what had happened when she saw a Beastman with strange mannerisms walking toward Little Bai and her group.

Sang Luo immediately trapped him within her Domain.

"BOOM!"

The Beastman, like a humanoid bomb, instantly detonated in a gory explosion of flesh and blood.
