Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 489 - 428: Back?

She looked down and sneered, "Finished with your exertions, Pavilion Master? I’m surprised you can even get up."

"Heh... why don’t you come and find out for yourself, Your Highness?"

That ’thing’ of his regained its vigor, even twitching upward.

Ye Wushuang grabbed her hand, intending to make her "test" it.

Sang Luo violently flung his hand away, a vein throbbing at her temple. Her face flushed red with shame and fury. "Have some self-respect, Pavilion Master! Don’t you forget what you promised me!"

Ye Wushuang chuckled, then donned a dark gold outer robe, neatly concealing his debauched air. A cyan Glazed Bottle appeared in his palm, carved with intricate patterns. A faint red light flickered within it. Looking closely, one could see a translucent, flower-like energy Curse Seal floating inside.

Sang Luo’s gaze sharpened, and she lunged for it. He instantly blinked several meters away, waggling the Glazed Bottle in his hand with a sinister smile. "Don’t forget my condition, Your Highness."

"I can bear you a child, but I’m already pregnant. You’ll have to wait until after I give birth."

"I don’t like to wait. How about we just dig that one out, and you can get pregnant with my child instead?" A strange light flickered in Ye Wushuang’s eyes as his hand transformed into a giant claw, swiping at her abdomen.

"BANG!"

A vast, powerful surge of energy erupted, and their vision was instantly consumed by a blinding light.

The terrifying energy fluctuation was felt by all the Beastmen for miles around. The ground shook and the mountains swayed, as if the world were about to crack open.

The people of Nanzhou City witnessed the scene, utterly horrified.

"What’s happening?!"

"Yeque Pavilion is collapsing!"

"Run! Run for your lives!!!"

In an instant, countless cries of alarm erupted from the crowd as everyone scrambled frantically toward the city gates.

The majestic, towering Yeque Pavilion collapsed into nothing in a single moment.

Amid the billowing smoke and dust, a Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox as large as a mountain stood upon the ruins. If anyone had been bold enough to get closer, and had sharp enough eyes, they would have noticed a small, delicate figure on the Celestial Fox’s head.

Sang Luo scrambled up to Yun Qi’s fox ear, grabbing a tuft of fur. "Be careful! Don’t fight him head-on. As soon as we get the Decree, we run!"

"Mm."

Cold light glinted in Yun Qi’s vulpine eyes. He wanted to tear Ye Wushuang to shreds. He refused to let this be another near-death escape for Sang Luo.

The Time Domain formed an independent space, pulling all three of them inside.

The isolated Time Domain shielded them from the outside world. Countless lavender threads of spiritual power shot out like vipers. Ye Wushuang’s expression darkened. With a wave of his hand, he crushed the threads and glared up at the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox and Sang Luo.

"Master Ye, how does it feel to fall from paradise?" Sang Luo asked, her eyes crinkling into a smile.

He clutched his chest in mock pain. "A gentle blade! It truly breaks a man’s heart!"

’Good thing Yun Qi had a fox’s face right now, or his own would surely be ashen. How dare that deviant speak such filth to Her Highness! He even tried to harm her. His crime is unforgivable!’

He slammed a massive paw down on Ye Wushuang. A golden halo rippled like water beneath the strike. The sound of the earth shattering echoed through the sky. From the point of impact, a spiderweb of cracks instantly spread out, revealing a chasm thousands of feet wide—the gaping maw of a starving beast, ready to devour its prey!

Ye Wushuang dodged with incredible speed. The next instant, a slender fox tail shot toward him like an arrow. He swiftly raised a hand, conjuring a massive Longsword to block the attack.

"BOOM!" 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

The seemingly soft fox tail struck like the hardest stone on earth, meeting the Longsword in a blinding flash. The resulting shockwave toppled several mountains!

Another tail swept out, sending Ye Wushuang flying into a cliffside. The entire mountain was instantly pierced through before it collapsed with a deafening roar. Sang Luo seized the opportunity, using Wind Breath Ten Thousand Thoughts to snatch back the Decree.

’What a relief. I finally got it!’

The Celestial Fox beneath her didn’t relax; in fact, its body grew even more taut. Sang Luo looked on in confusion as a tall, cyan-black figure reappeared in the distance.

Ye Wushuang covered half his face with one hand, letting out a wild, maniacal laugh. A dark purple mist began to emanate from his body, spreading outward with incredible speed.

Everything the dark mist touched melted and disintegrated. Cracks even began to appear in the Time Domain...

"What is this?" Sang Luo was dumbfounded.

"...We were all deceived by him."

"Huh?"

"He’s from the Ghost Clan!"

Sang Luo now understood the origin of the writing she had seen on the wall. It was the script of the Ghost Clan!

The Ghost Clan predated even the Demon Clan. The Ghost Realm was formed at the dawn of the Beast World, but no one knew its location. The Ghost Clan People were always shrouded in mystery, and over time, everyone simply forgot the Ghost Realm existed.

The black-purple mist slowly devoured the Time Domain, forming a new Domain in its place that trapped Yun Qi and Sang Luo, leaving them with no escape!

"Your Highness, I’ll get you out of here." Yun Qi shrank his beast form, reverting to his human shape. His face was filled with anxiety. "My power can tear open a corner of this Domain, just enough to get one person out."

"And you?"

"I’ll stay and deal with Ye Wushuang. With you here, Your Highness, I’ll be distracted and unable to fight with my full focus," he said. "Once I kill him, the Domain will vanish. I will come find you!"

"You’re no match for him."

"I absorbed my brother’s power. I won’t necessarily lose."

"But what if..." Sang Luo gripped his arm.

"Your Highness!" Yun Qi cut her off. He looked down, his gaze full of longing for her belly as he gently placed a hand upon it. "I only want to know one thing. This child... whose is it?"

Sang Luo froze, stunned. She’d been so slow. ’As the biological father, Yan would have sensed it long ago,’ she thought.

’He must have suspected something for a while now.’

Through a soft sob, she said, "It’s yours."

Yun Qi’s breath caught, and his Adam’s apple bobbed. But he didn’t ask anything more. He simply leaned down and pressed a kiss to her brow.

"Leave this place, and don’t ever come back!"

Yun Qi struck out with his palm, tearing a path through the dense purple mist and pushing Sang Luo through it.

The instant she was through, the dark mist swirled shut behind her, becoming even thicker and more impenetrable than before.

Her spiritual power, which had been spread throughout the Domain, was forcibly driven out, but not before she caught one final glimpse.

Yun Qi had reverted to his beast form. In addition to his primary Black Fox body, he had conjured a spectral white fox.

The two Celestial Foxes launched a ferocious, simultaneous assault on Ye Wushuang. Each earth-shattering attack was more intense than the last, annihilating everything within the Domain until only nothingness remained.

In the final moment, the Black Fox opened its maw and swallowed Ye Wushuang whole.

"Urk!"

A searing pain shot through Sang Luo’s mind, and she lost consciousness.

...

「When she woke again.」

Sang Luo was lying in a bed. Her vision was hazy, her mind a blank slate. She saw a slender, elegant figure sitting at a table by the bed. His pale silver hair wasn’t tied up, but cascaded freely down his back.

For a dazed moment, she thought Yan had returned. But as her vision cleared, she realized it was Lou Xianyue, whom she hadn’t seen in ages.

He sat at the table, needle and thread in hand, working on a piece of embroidery. A stick of fresh incense burned beside him. Across from him, a blue-haired boy was dozing. He was much older than she remembered.

"You’re awake, Mother! This is great!" Little Blue Eucalyptus heard the movement and looked over. Overjoyed, he leaped from his stool and ran to the bed to hug Sang Luo.

Sang Luo ruffled the boy’s soft hair and looked up as Lou Xianyue approached. A deep affection shone in his eyes. He sat on the edge of the bed, caressed her face, and sighed softly. "Sang’er, I was starting to think you might never wake up."

’I’m back again!’

But a second later, a look of shocked disbelief crossed Sang Luo’s face. She felt her stomach—it was flat. The baby was gone!
