Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 55 - 35: He’s Going to Be a Beast Father

Caesar would often tell Sang Luo he wanted a child during their most intimate moments. But in truth, he was well aware that having offspring would likely be difficult for him. Yet, Sang Luo’s recent unusual behavior made him suspect, more and more, that she was pregnant.

"It hasn’t come for you this month," Caesar said. "It’s already past the sixteenth. For the last two months, it’s arrived by now."

It took Sang Luo a moment to realize he was talking about her period. Her eyes widened, and she mumbled, "How do you remember more clearly than I do?"

"Of course I keep track. Those few days are inconvenient for you, so I make sure to be considerate." The days following a female’s heat were when conception rates were highest. Males would fight tooth and nail for mating rights, so remembering a female’s fertile period and lavishing her with attention had basically become an instinct etched into their genes.

Sang Luo shook her head. "But my cycle has never been very regular. Sometimes it’s a few days early, and sometimes it’s a few days late."

Even so, Caesar was practically certain she was pregnant. He carefully and gently stroked Sang Luo’s lower abdomen, then suddenly grew tense. "I—I wasn’t very restrained these past few days. I didn’t hurt it, did I? Let’s go see the doctor again!"

It was the first time Sang Luo had seen him so flustered. She placed her hand over his large one and couldn’t help but laugh. "Don’t worry, I’m perfectly fine. Even if I am pregnant, your child isn’t that fragile."

Sang Luo felt a little apprehensive, but more than that, she felt an indescribable sense of anticipation and joy.

The High Priest had said that a child’s Talent Power could be copied to the mother. ’I wonder how much this one will raise mine.’

In the polyandrous Beast World, a Beast Father’s perception of his offspring’s bloodline fluctuations was extremely strong, allowing him to confirm whether his mate was carrying his child.

About half a month later, Caesar knew in his heart that the pregnancy had taken. He was so excited he couldn’t sleep for several nights. It was his first time as a Beast Father and he had no experience, so he took Sang Luo to the hospital to get prescribed medicine to support the pregnancy, as well as the best nourishing supplements.

In addition, Caesar had Sang Luo start taking Beast Crystals regularly. She was to start with Low Rank Beast Crystals and, once her body could absorb them, move on to High Rank Beast Crystals.

Sang Luo picked up a Purple Crystal, then set it back down. "I know you want me to build up my strength, but my ability to absorb Beast Crystals isn’t very strong. I’d get more nourishment from eating a few extra meals of meat than from eating these."

’Giving me such good things is a complete waste.’

"It’s not a waste. Eating more is good for the children. It can raise their Talent Power," Caesar said with a smile. "Besides the innate talent from their bloodline, the main way for a Beastman to improve their Talent Ability is by using Beast Crystals. The most important period for a Beastman’s talent to form is during gestation inside the mother."

"Taking more Beast Crystals during this time can significantly promote the development of the children’s Talent Ability. Once they’re born, it won’t be this easy for them to advance."

"Really?!"

"Mhm."

Caesar looked gently at her slightly rounded belly. Even though this litter would likely be Mouse Beasts or Mixed Blood Beasts with talents that wouldn’t be too high, he still wanted the children he shared with the woman he loved to have the highest talent possible. That way, even if he and Sang Luo were gone one day, their descendants could still live well.

Sang Luo no longer cared about it being a waste. She grabbed a handful of Crystal Stones and gulped them down.

Caesar’s heart leaped into his throat as he watched. "Y-you don’t have to be in such a rush. It’s better to take it step by step."

He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that her body wasn’t overwhelmed after consuming so many High Rank Crystal Stones.

’I need to work harder from now on,’ Caesar thought. He had earned plenty of Crystal Stones over the years, but he had used most of them on himself, leaving little in the way of savings. After all, he had never imagined he would actually find a partner, settle down, and have children. Now that he had his own little family, it was time to plan properly for the future. 𝐟𝗿𝐞𝚎𝚠𝐞𝚋𝕟𝐨𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝕔𝕠𝚖

After hearing the happy news from the hospital, Duotu immediately rushed over from the Imperial Palace, traveling through the night. Only when he saw that Sang Luo’s belly had indeed grown did he confirm the news was true.

’Innate King Beasts can basically expect to be the end of their line. What’s with her womb? It’s only been two months, right? How could she be pregnant so quickly?’

’The Old Beast King was over five hundred years old when he had me!’

Duotu suppressed his shock and looked at Caesar. "Are you sure you want to raise them? This litter will probably be from the Mouse Clan, or Snake and Rat Mixed Blood. They won’t have much talent."

The bloodline of a pure-blooded Innate King Beast was extremely difficult to pass on. Even conceiving mixed-blood offspring was much harder than it was for ordinary Beastmen. For this pregnancy to have happened so quickly, it was, in all likelihood, a litter of little mice.

"It doesn’t matter what clan they are. They’re my children." Caesar wasn’t the least bit disappointed; he was still overjoyed.
