Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 60 - 37: The Child in Your Belly... Is It His?

After Caesar dispatched the assassins hiding on the cruise ship, he extended his spiritual power and sensed a few who had slipped through the net heading for Sang Luo’s room. His heart clenched. He raised his hand, about to act, but then suddenly saw another figure burst in ahead of him and take care of the men in black.

He paused for a moment, then lowered his hand. His face was expressionless.

His figure vanished in an instant.

...

"Luoluo, I’ve missed you so much. I... I’ve really missed you so much..."

Lan Cang couldn’t suppress his emotions at finding what he had lost. He pulled the woman in his arms into a deep embrace, as if to freeze time in this very moment. Choking back a sob, he said, "They said you were taken by Wandering Beasts. I thought you were dead..."

Over two months ago, he had started from the ruins of the Kordo Tribe and traveled through dozens of other tribes in the area before finally finding their new encampment. It was there he heard from the tribespeople that Sang Luo had been captured by Wandering Beasts.

Females captured by Wandering Beasts usually met only one fate.

In a frenzy, he slaughtered every Wandering Beast in the vicinity, but he still couldn’t find her...

In that moment, his heart died with her. He’d even wanted to follow her in death.

"I’m so happy to see you’re alive."

Gazing at his familiar, handsome face, Sang Luo’s eyes grew moist. A thousand words were on the tip of her tongue, but in that moment, all she could do was hold him tightly, unable to say a thing.

’She had thought they would never have a chance to meet again in this lifetime.’

’She had told Caesar that she had moved on, but this was, after all, a man she had truly loved. How could she just forget him in an instant?’

Sang Luo gently caressed the man’s face. They had only been apart for a few months, but Lan Cang looked more mature and weathered than before. He was also thinner, which made her heart ache.

Sang Luo gently patted his back. "I’m relieved to know you’re okay—Ouch, be gentle..."

"You’re pregnant?"

Sang Luo’s maternity dress concealed her figure well, but when Lan Cang hugged her, he could clearly feel the curve of her belly. He immediately and carefully let her go, afraid he might accidentally hurt her.

"Mhm, I only just got pregnant. It’s been a little over half a month," Sang Luo said, rubbing her belly.

Lan Cang’s lips parted, but nothing came out. After a long moment, he looked down and fumbled in his pockets, but couldn’t find anything suitable. With an embarrassed look, he said, "I didn’t expect to run into you. I don’t have anything to give you or the child. I’m sorry."

"You’ve done more than enough for me in the past. There’s nothing to be sorry for. If anything, I’m the one who’s always owed you a ’thank you’," Sang Luo said with a shake of her head and a smile.

Lan Cang pressed his lips together and looked down at her slightly rounded belly again. After a moment of silence, he asked,

"This child... it’s his, isn’t it?"

’He’d seen that King Beast—handsome, powerful, and so good to her. He only had eyes for her.’

’He knew he couldn’t compare.’

"Mhm."

Lan Cang started to pat her head like he used to, but his hand faltered before dropping to his side. A wistful smile played on his lips. "I knew it. With Luoluo’s charm, any Male Beast, no matter how powerful, would be won over."

’With her qualities, she would never choose someone lacking. Only a King Beast could truly be worthy of her.’

How could Sang Luo not see the regret and sorrow in his eyes? She just didn’t know what to say. Lan Cang then asked in a low voice, "Can I... touch it?"

"Of course," she said, reaching for his hand.

"Don’t. My... my hands are dirty. There’s blood."

Lan Cang was rarely so flustered. He wiped his hands on his clothes before excitedly and carefully placing one on her belly. Perhaps because it was still so early, the baby was quiet and didn’t move much, but he could feel the faint fluctuations of energy from within. "It’s very healthy," he said sincerely.

As he stared, he seemed to grow lost in thought. "If we’d had a child..."

He only murmured a few words, and Sang Luo didn’t quite catch them. Looking up at his long, bare neck, she asked, "Why aren’t you wearing a Suppression Ring?"

’The Suppression Ring was meant to suppress a Beastman’s genetic frenzy. During the last Beast Tide, Lan Cang’s frenzy had erupted again, so his old Suppression Ring must have broken. But he wasn’t wearing a new one, and yet his frenzy seemed to be largely under control.’

’Only a female could provide genetic soothing to a male.’

’Lan Cang had another female by his side.’

"Have you found a new partner?" Sang Luo asked.

Lan Cang gazed at her intently, his throat working. "Do you want me to?"

’To be honest, Sang Luo still felt a lingering guilt toward Lan Cang. She had promised to give him a litter of Wolf Pups, but then she’d ended up pregnant with another man’s child. What man could possibly endure that?’
