Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 186 - 130: I’m Pregnant

"What do you want to eat? I’ll have the kitchens make something for you."

"Anything is fine. I... don’t really have an appetite."

After Si Ye left, Sang Luo sat on the bed, staring blankly toward the door. She touched the side of her neck with a sense of loss. After they had slept together that night, he had bitten her neck in a moment of deep affection, giving her his soul mark.

This kind of Male Beast, when it came to matters of the heart, believed in one true partner. That was why he had so readily entrusted his soul mark to her.

But that time... she had planned it all in advance. Their union hadn’t been a natural culmination of mutual affection. It probably wasn’t what he truly wanted; she had forcibly taken his Primordial Yang... And yet, Si Ye still thought he had been the one to overstep, feeling guilty and insisting on taking responsibility for her.

For the first time, Sang Luo felt deeply sorry for a Male Beast.

She had been too hasty this time, too rash.

Contrary to his dashing and untamed appearance, Si Ye placed extreme importance on fidelity in a relationship. In that respect, he wasn’t a good choice at all.

...

On his way back from the kitchens, Si Ye was intercepted and summoned by the Clan Leader’s people.

「In the main hall.」

Si Jing was seated on one side of an Arhat Couch. A small table between them held platters of fruit and tea. Beside her was a pretty, slender female in blue, and the two were chatting and laughing pleasantly.

Si Ye saw them the moment he entered.

He paused, his gaze sweeping past the blushing female to sit directly across from the couch. He casually poured himself a cup of tea. "Mother, why did you summon me?"

"I was going to tell you this last time, but you left in such a hurry. I forgot to introduce you. This is Yao Nannan, a noble from a branch of the Bian Clan. I intend for the two of you to be wed."

Si Jing took Yao Nannan’s hand and smiled at Si Ye. "That engagement with Bai Wan all those years ago was my mistake. I was too rash. I know you want a partner who only has eyes for you. Little Nan’s talent might be slightly less than Bai Wan’s, but she has a gentle and sweet temperament. She has admired you since she was young, and there are no other entanglements in her life. I’m certain you’ll like her."

Yao Nannan also curtsied and said with a gentle smile, "Brother Si Ye, I wonder if you remember from our childhood? I was young and mischievous and once wandered into the Nanbin Mist Forest. I was nearly eaten by a Star Beast, but you were the one who saved me..."

Si Ye looked at her without speaking, his face devoid of emotion.

In his travels across the lands, the people he had killed and the people he had saved were countless. He wouldn’t remember such a trivial matter.

Yao Nannan bit her lip, looking somewhat hurt and disappointed. She forced a smile. "I have admired Brother Ah Ye for a long time. I fell for you back then. I... I can swear to the Beast God! If we are to be joined in a blessed union, I will only have you as my male for the rest of my life."

"See? What a wonderful little female."

Si Jing took Si Ye’s other hand, trying to join his with Yao Nannan’s. "Ah Ye, you aren’t old, but your talent is too high, which will make it difficult to conceive children in the future. Our two families should finalize this engagement as soon as possible. This matter can’t be delayed."

Si Ye pulled his hand back and stood up, rejecting her. "Yao Nannan is a good female, but Mother, you saw that I was with someone at the banquet. Luoluo and I have already mated. I will not seek another female."

"Absolutely not."

Si Jing’s expression changed instantly. "A low-rank female from the Beast Clan with an unknown background, who can’t even bear children? I will never agree to you being with her."

"And if I refuse?"

Si Jing slammed her hand on the table. "This is not a matter of whether you’re willing or not! As the Young Master of the Bian Clan, your most important duty is to continue the Xuanyuan Clan’s lineage, produce outstanding heirs as soon as possible, and expand our family’s power!"

Seeing Si Ye’s power grow stronger by the day, Si Jing was both pleased and deeply worried.

The stronger one became, the more difficult it was to conceive. Si Ye was a pure-blooded Bian, the heir she was most satisfied with. If he truly reached the Emperor Rank with no children to his name, then her branch of the family would be doomed to die out.

"...Mother, you should know me well. I’ve always hated being forced into things."

Seeing the sudden coldness on his face, Si Jing’s heart skipped a beat. The relationship between mother and son had only just begun to thaw... Si Jing sat back down on the couch and gave Yao Nannan a look, signaling for her to leave first. Then she turned to Si Ye and said in a placating tone, "Listen to your mother’s advice. If you truly like that little female, you can take her in. Mother won’t break you and the female you like apart. But you must also marry an outstanding female from our own clan. Even if you don’t like her, it’s enough as long as she can bear you a child."

"In your eyes, Mother, is love so cheap that it can be used at will? To be tied to lineage, forcing two women to share one husband? That’s not fair to Luoluo or to Yao Nannan. I only have one heart; I can’t split it in two. I have chosen Luoluo as my partner, and I will only love her for the rest of my life. My children will be born only from her." Si Ye drained the tea in his cup, set it on the table, his handsome face frighteningly cold. "You and I are simply not the same kind of people."

Si Jing watched him turn and leave, unable to collect herself for a long time. She knew that saying anything more would be useless.

’That stubborn, loyal nature of her son... he really takes after his father.’

’Back then, when Fei Li found out she had other Concubines in her household, he had nearly broken things off with her. It took all her efforts to persuade him to stay...’

"Enough. All of you, leave. Let me rest alone for a while."

Si Jing rubbed her aching forehead and waved her hand, dismissing the servants.

...

"What did your mother want?" Sang Luo had noticed that Si Ye’s expression was always grim whenever he returned from the Clan Leader’s place. ’The relationship between that mother and son is truly a sad affair,’ she thought.

"It’s nothing. We’ll leave tomorrow."

"Okay." A dreadful wave of hunger washed over her, and Sang Luo sighed. "Do you have any King Rank Beast Crystals on you?"

"I have plenty in my storage space." Si Ye had accumulated a sizable fortune over his years of adventuring.

After she swallowed a few King Rank Beast Crystals, the hunger in her stomach didn’t subside much.

Si Ye took out a dozen more King Rank Beast Crystals and fed them to her, along with a good amount of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures. Only then did her stomach finally quiet down.

Seeing Sang Luo gorge herself like this, Si Ye grew a little worried. He reached out and touched her head. "Are you injured? Or sick?"

She was consuming more Beast Crystals for nourishment than he normally ate. In Si Ye’s experience, one only needed to replenish their energy so massively when they were severely injured.

Sang Luo grabbed his long, elegant hand and rubbed it on her soft belly. "Don’t worry~ I’m not hurt. It’s just that I might have to trouble you a lot more from now on. You’ll need to find me more Beast Crystals and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures—the more, the better!"

"Alright." Si Ye didn’t think much of it and readily agreed.

His gaze fell upon Sang Luo, and seeing her enchanting face, he was reminded of that bewitching night... His Adam’s apple bobbed, and he lowered his head to kiss her lips.

Men were naturally quick studies in such matters. Compared to his inexperience that night, his kiss this time was passionate and seductive. Sang Luo felt half her body go numb from it.

As Si Ye kissed her passionately, he reached out to untie her robes. His large hand came to rest on her fair, smooth waist, caressing it gently.

"Luoluo, I want you."

Sang Luo came to her senses. "I’m afraid... we can’t."

"Why?" His voice was husky with aroused desire.

Sang Luo whispered in his ear, "I’m pregnant."
