Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 98 - 56: Whose Child Is It? (Part 2)

Sang Luo picked out a few pieces she liked and kept them. She also selected some jewelry and treasures to give to the servants. The rest she had Amman put in the storage room, which was nearly half-full.

No matter how busy Duotu was during the day, he would still come to her at night as usual.

Ostensibly, he had brought Sang Luo into the traveling palace, but he didn’t arrange a separate palace for her, letting her live directly in his bedchambers instead.

Their recent nights together had been rather wild...

Tempered by this recent upheaval, Duotu’s disposition had undergone a complete transformation. Compared to the cynical, hedonistic young master he once was, he was now much more mature and steady. He seemed less like a Prince and more like a future Monarch.

One night, after they had their fill of pleasure, she was so tired she didn’t want to move at all. ’This man can handle official business all day and still go all night without stopping,’ she sighed to herself. ’His stamina is truly terrifying.’

When they finished, Duotu stroked Sang Luo’s slightly rounded waist and chuckled fondly, "Is your belly getting a little bigger?"

He had heard from Amman recently that Sang Luo was eating more and more. The few boxes of treasures and jewelry he had sent over were barely touched, but the Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures were basically all gone, and half a box of Beast Crystals had been consumed as well.

A certain possibility occurred to Duotu, and his face flushed with excitement. "Luoluo, are we going to have a little cub? Has your heat come this month?" 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Not yet." Sang Luo placed her hand over his large one, rubbing her belly. ’Could it really be this fast?’

Remembering the man’s terrifying stamina in bed, she swallowed nervously. ’Then again, it’s not impossible.’

’He’s been trying *very* hard to sow his seeds lately!’

’As if he wanted me to get pregnant on the very first day!’

Duotu was too excited to sleep the entire night. Before dawn the next day, he carried her to the hospital and paced anxiously outside the room, back and forth.

Soon, a tall, thin witch doctor came out to announce the good news.

"Congratulations, Your Highness. The noble female is already over a month pregnant. You must exercise restraint during this period. I will also prescribe some medicine..."

Upon hearing the word "pregnant," Duotu was ecstatic, but his expression sank when he heard the words "over a month."

’My first time with her was only about half a month ago. A dead man’s child? The timing doesn’t add up.’

Sang Luo hadn’t even received the diagnosis results yet when Duotu took her back to the traveling palace.

The whole way there, his face was as black as the bottom of a pot.

"So, I’m not pregnant?" Sang Luo looked at him.

He said coldly, "You are!"

"Then what are you so unhappy about?"

"...You should be asking yourself that!"

As soon as Duotu returned to the bedchambers, he angrily bit her for a long moment before letting go and demanding, "Whose child are you really carrying?"

"Huh?"

"You left by yourself, just went out for a stroll, and came back with a little one in your belly?"

"...I know you’re upset, but calm down first." Sang Luo took the diagnostic report he handed her. She pressed a hand to her forehead for a long moment before finally confirming she was pregnant.

’But it looks like this child isn’t Duotu’s. That means it can only be Ah Ze’s. The timing matches.’

Sang Luo was overcome with complex emotions...

’This child... it really came at the wrong time.’

’I was already planning to put that chance encounter behind me.’

"Well, since I’m already pregnant, what’s to be done? If you don’t want to raise it, then I’ll just have to..."

"I’ll raise it!" Duotu quickly covered her mouth, stopping her from saying such inauspicious words.

"You’re surprisingly magnanimous~" Sang Luo flashed a radiant smile, straddling his long, sturdy thighs. She reached up, hooked her arms around his neck, and pressed a kiss to his lips. His breath hitched, his anger mostly extinguished by arousal.

After working so hard to sow his seeds for so long, the child ended up being someone else’s. What man could stand that kind of humiliation?

"Whose child is it, really?" Duotu wrapped his hands around her waist, his captivating emerald eyes locked tightly onto Sang Luo, as if afraid she would utter another lie from those little lips of hers.

"A Deep Sea Mermaid’s."

"So you really did find another male!"

Seeing that he was about to explode, Sang Luo quickly shut her mouth and soothed his chest.

After a moment’s thought, she added in a low voice, "He’s dead."

Duotu’s brow relaxed, and he became happy again. "I’ll treat it as my own flesh and blood!"

’The biological father is dead, so it doesn’t matter. In any case, as long as the child comes from her womb, it’s my child.’

"But after this one is born and your body has recovered, you have to bear me a pure-blood descendant."

"The last pure-blood might have been a fluke. I can’t guarantee I can give birth to a pure-blood descendant every time. If I give birth to one with an inferior bloodline, are you going to abandon your wife and child?"

"As long as it’s our child, I won’t care about the bloodline."

’A child with my bloodline couldn’t be too bad, no matter what. They’d definitely be stronger than an ordinary Beastman. At worst, I’ll just shower them with more Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. After all, that’s how my own father managed back in the day.’
