Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 447 - 386: The Little Lion Has Transformed

Chapter 447: Chapter 386: The Little Lion Has Transformed

When Minos returned from court, he was greeted by the heartwarming scene of a mother and her children enjoying themselves. A gentle smile graced his handsome, refined face. He had plucked a perfectly bloomed blue rose and strolled over. "A flower for a beauty, Luoluo."

Sang Luo turned her head and caught the scent of the rose. Taking the flower from his hand, she inhaled its fragrance deeply and smiled. "You’re quite talented at tending to these flowers. I used to enjoy growing some at home, but they always ended up withering. I just don’t have the skill or patience."

"If you like them, you can dig up a few from the garden to grow yourself. There are plenty of flowers in the garden."

"Forget it. I’d rather not torment these poor little flowers. You’ve tended to this garden beautifully, and I love it. Every time I’m here, I feel so relaxed." Sang Luo closed her eyes, taking a deep breath of the rich, mingled floral scents, then opened them and said with a lazy smile, "It’s funny, every time I come, the flowers in the garden are in full bloom. I’ve never seen them wither."

"Hehe, that’s because Daddy uses the Time Rule to keep the flowers at their most beautiful moment, just waiting for Mommy to come have tea and admire them with him!" Little Apple, the big mouth, spilled his father’s little secret.

Minos chided softly, "Ares!"

Little Apple covered his head and jumped down from the stool. "Eek, Daddy’s getting shy! He’s getting mad because he’s embarrassed! Mommy, save me!"

Sang Luo leaned in and kissed Minos on the cheek. "I didn’t know my Great Angel was so thoughtful~"

Minos’s handsome face flushed slightly, his long lashes lowering. "You don’t visit the Holy Palace often, and flowers always bloom only to wither. People admire their beauty when they blossom, but find their wilted forms unpleasant. I wanted you to see the beauty of the flourishing blossoms every time you came."

Sang Luo looked at him earnestly. "In my eyes, all these flowers combined aren’t a ten-thousandth as beautiful as you. I’ve already received the most beautiful blue rose in the world. Whether it’s in its beautiful, blooming state or when it withers, I will love it all the same."

"Luoluo..."

Little Rose covered her eyes with an exasperated look. ’Mom and Dad are being all mushy again, again, and again!’

"Ahem." Seeing the children were still there, Sang Luo didn’t dare go too far.

Minos sat down on the stone stool beside her and noticed the books on the stone table. "Are you teaching the children arithmetic and reading?"

"Mhm, I was idle anyway. The two Little Angels may look small, but I was asleep for ten years, so they aren’t that young anymore. It’s about time they learned something." Sang Luo placed the flower between the pages of a book and closed it, planning to continue the lesson next time. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Minos nodded, correcting himself. "Luoluo is right. It is time they learned something."

Sang Luo asked casually, "Do you have any good tutors in mind?"

Minos looked toward the two children.

The two Little Angels knew exactly what to do. Little Apple clung to Sang Luo’s leg, whining sweetly, "I don’t want a tutor! I want Mommy to teach me! Nobody else, not even Daddy! Or else I’ll sneak out and run away to play!"

"You little brat, resorting to threats now."

Little Rose chimed in, "I love Mommy the most~ As long as Mommy is the one teaching, my brother and I will definitely learn quickly and well!"

Sang Luo couldn’t help but laugh.

’They’ve even learned to play good cop, bad cop.’

Minos smiled. "I don’t have a suitable candidate for now. I’ll look again when I have the chance."

"Alright, then the great responsibility of teaching these two little ones will fall to me for now."

Minos picked up a pastry from the table and took a bite. "I met with Prince Yalan Beast King today."

Sang Luo’s heart remained largely untroubled; it had just been a long time since she’d heard that name. "Oh? He came to the Holy Hall?"

"Yes. Prince Yalan Beast King will soon be joined in marriage with a princess from a neighboring country. Both nations are under the protection of the Holy Hall. According to tradition, a wedding and bonding ceremony is of the same caliber as a Beast King’s coronation. It requires the Holy Hall to dispatch a Holy Envoy to bestow blessings and gifts, offering the Holy Hall’s congratulations for this happy union."

Sang Luo nodded. "He drank the Forgetfulness Water. So many years have passed; he should have moved on long ago. When the day comes, I’ll prepare a gift as well. You can have the Holy Envoy deliver it for me."

"Of course." Minos could see she had more to say. "Are you worried about Hephis?"

Sang Luo nodded slowly. "To be honest, I am a little worried. I’ve heard that once a child has a stepmother, their father’s heart follows. Duotu values his only heir very much right now, but he might have another child with that princess in the future. When that happens, Hephis will inevitably be neglected to some extent. I don’t know how that will affect him."

"If you’re worried, you can bring Hephis to the Holy Palace. I will treat him as my own child."

Sang Luo knew Minos loved every child she bore and would raise them with genuine care. But there was always a difference between one’s own flesh and blood and an adopted child. Even the heart of a Saint couldn’t be completely impartial.

If possible, she would naturally prefer for Hephis to grow up with his biological father.

But if Duotu really did have a second son and treated her son poorly, she wouldn’t wait for Minos to offer—she would definitely bring the child to her side and raise him herself!

"That child was raised by his own father from a young age. He values Duotu deeply; I can only ever be second in his heart... Let’s wait and see. We’ll talk about it later. If Little Sun is treated poorly and truly wants to come back, then I’ll bring him to the Holy Palace for you to raise."

As Sang Luo spoke, she found herself missing her little lion. "Speaking of which, I haven’t seen that child in so long. Has he ever come to the Holy Palace to play? He must have grown a lot in the last ten years."

"He used to come play with Vilina and Ares in his free time after his lessons. But I could tell that he really wanted to see you... He came many times during the ten years you were asleep. Later, perhaps because his studies became more demanding, his visits grew less and less frequent. The last time he came was half a year ago."

"Sigh, I’ve always paid the least attention to him."

"But I did hear some good news today, regarding Hephis."

"Oh?"

"The boy successfully transformed into his human form. He’ll probably want to come see you."

As luck would have it, just as they were discussing Hephis, a guard came forward to report, "Greetings, Holy Monarch and Holy Empress. The young Crown Prince of the Yalan Empire has arrived."

"Mommy!" An excited, clear voice rang out from a short distance away.

Sang Luo stood up and looked over. A young boy with curly, golden-brown hair was running toward them. He had a pair of exceptionally beautiful lake-green eyes, and when he smiled, his pointed canines would show. His features were exquisite and handsome, yet carried a dashing, heroic air!

"Hephis, Mommy hasn’t seen you in so long. You’ve gotten so big." Sang Luo hugged the little boy who had thrown himself into her arms, stroking his soft, golden-brown hair, her eyes filled with affection.

Hephis snuggled into her embrace, his voice filled with deep affection. "Mommy, I missed you so much!"
