Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 194 - 138: She’s Pregnant with Your Child?
The corner of Sang Luo’s mouth twitched. "That won’t be necessary. I’ve heard that to produce heirs, the Phoenix Clan’s Beast Emperor has a vast harem, filled with stunning beauties. There are surely many who are prettier and have higher Fertility than I do. With so many women to hunt, Your Majesty certainly wouldn’t be interested in me."
"It seems you’re really not a Beastman from the East Continent." Fei Yuan smiled suddenly as he looked at her.
’Everyone knew that years ago, he’d been afflicted with an unspeakable Poisonous Gu that had robbed him of his virility. Even with medicine, he couldn’t perform with the concubines in his harem. Males who lose their prowess are often the most twisted and perverted. If anyone else had said what I just said, their head would probably be rolling by now.’
"However, you’re wrong about one thing. I’m actually very interested in you."
’That night, she somehow calmed the Poisonous Gu in my body. How in the world did she do it?’
’This little thing seems to have another power inside her, but I can’t trace its source.’
When Sang Luo saw his malicious smile, her hair stood on end like a tiny, spooked animal.
The smile on Fei Yuan’s lips deepened. "That night, you had your way with me. Shouldn’t you take responsibility?"
Sang Luo’s eyes widened. "Don’t you dare frame me! You know perfectly well whether I touched you or not!"
"Mm, I was wide awake that night. You fell from the sky and saw me completely naked. In this world, only mates are allowed to see each other’s bodies. Don’t you know that if you peek at a Male Beast’s body, you have to take responsibility for him?"
Fei Yuan’s fingers slid down to caress her pointed chin. The coarse texture of his skin sent a shiver through hers. "Or perhaps, you’d rather be the type of girl who peeks and then runs? In that case, about these mate marks on your body... I’m guessing Little Ye doesn’t know, hmm? I might just have to tell him."
’...’ ’This is absurd! He’s just twisting the facts!’
’I’ve fallen into a trap I can’t get out of.’
’The smile in his eyes was cold; he was deliberately teasing her, trying to make her feel ashamed!’ Sang Luo turned her head away, her brow furrowed in displeasure. "Did you bring me here and tie me up just to say all this?"
"Heh, how clever. I did seek you out this time to ask for something... Isn’t it time you returned my ring?" Fei Yuan held out his palm toward her.
Sang Luo thought for a moment before she remembered. Before escaping that night, she’d taken a priceless Jade Ring from the unconscious Fei Yuan’s hand. She later found time to study it at an inn and discovered it was a storage ring. Unfortunately, it was protected by a Divine Sense Barrier. The power gap between her and Fei Yuan was too vast for her to break the barrier, so she couldn’t access anything inside. To her, it was just a useless, ordinary ornament.
"So that’s what you wanted. You should have said so from the start." Sang Luo struggled against her bonds and added angrily, "You! Untie me, and I’ll give it back."
"Where did you put it? I can find it myself."
"..."
Sang Luo held her breath in frustration. "It’s in the Qiankun Bag on my right hip. Take it yourself."
Fei Yuan’s gaze lingered on her slender waist for a moment before he reached out and took the Qiankun Bag. With a casual flick of his finger, he effortlessly shattered her Divine Sense Mark.
His casual action was yet another deep humiliation.
Sang Luo’s expression grew even darker.
Fei Yuan rummaged through the Qiankun Bag and found the Jade Ring, but he didn’t take it back right away. After removing its Divine Sense Mark, he casually tossed it back into the bag and tied it to her waist again.
Sang Luo was stunned. "What are you doing? Just giving it to me?"
’Was this damned seducer really being so generous?’
"It’s not a free gift. Consider it a betrothal present. Be my consort, and I will cherish you."
"Then I don’t want it! I said, I don’t want it!"
"When I decide to give you something, do you really think you can refuse?"
’...’ ’This man is insane!’
Sang Luo took a deep breath, feeling the need to remind the Phoenix Clan’s Beast Emperor of a crucial fact. "I am the mate of your own nephew! Your subject!"
"Mm, perfect. That will just make us closer."
’Pervert!’
Sang Luo had never encountered anyone like this. She wanted to curse him out, but the words wouldn’t come. She could only bottle it up, a fire raging inside her. Her delicate features flushed crimson, her slender brows knitted together as she bit her lip. That flustered look of hers was truly...
Fei Yuan’s long, pale fingertips brushed against her cheek. He was a Phoenix of the Fire Attribute, yet his skin was cool to the bone. He let out a soft sigh. "Little thing, don’t look at me like that..." ’It really makes a man want to relentlessly tease and bully you.’
"I promised Little Ye I would look after you, and I most certainly will."
Sang Luo’s eyes darted around, and she pursed her lips. "In that case, I want to sleep now. Get out. I need to rest alone."
Fei Yuan glanced around the luxurious palace. ’If I recall correctly, this is *my* Phoenix Palace...’ He remembered the reports his men had brought him about Sang Luo; she apparently ate and slept a great deal. He nodded. "Fine. Rest well here in my chambers. And don’t even think about escaping. I’ve placed layers of Arrays outside."
He only left after Sang Luo readily agreed.
A Hidden Guard materialized behind Fei Yuan. "Your Majesty, wasn’t your medicine in that ring? You gave it to her just like that? Then the Poisonous Gu in your body..."
"That half-baked medicine only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. It can only delay the inevitable, not eradicate the poison. Taking it is a waste of time."
Besides, Fei Yuan had discovered a much better remedy.
He hadn’t taken any medication for the past month, yet the Poisonous Gu had shown no signs of relapse.
The Poisonous Gu wasn’t completely eradicated from his system, but its toxicity was less than half of what it used to be. If he could just repeat the events of that night a few more times, it might not be impossible to purge the poison completely.
Fei Yuan glanced back toward the palace gates, the smile on his lips growing wider.
That old fox’s divination had been right on the mark.
His destined noble female was, perhaps, about to appear.
...
Si Ye had been delayed on his journey by an encounter with the Demon Clan.
After rushing back through the night, he went straight to the Marquis Mansion to find Sang Luo, only to discover she was gone. Following her Soul mark, he tracked her to the Phoenix Palace, where he caught her lingering scent in the Beast King’s personal chambers.
The chambers!
That was a place reserved only for Fei Yuan and the concubines with whom he was intimate.
Seething with a monstrous rage, Si Ye went to demand Fei Yuan return his mate.
Fei Yuan, however, was staring at the empty bed in his chambers and the untied red silk sash, momentarily stunned.
"That little thing really is an escape artist. I couldn’t hold her."
Si Ye was convinced that this old bastard had hidden Sang Luo away somewhere.
"I asked you to look after Luoluo, not ’look after’ her in your bed!"
The uncle and nephew came to blows right then and there.
Si Ye was on the verge of killing his own kin for the sake of justice and staging a coup.
Although a full cultivation realm separated them, Si Ye’s ferocity made him difficult for even Fei Yuan to handle.
Fei Yuan looked at the priceless treasures smashed to pieces around his palace and, pained by the loss, initiated a truce. "Alright, that’s enough! I didn’t do anything to the little thing. Check your connection to her again. She’s most likely snuck back home by now." 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Fei Yuan took out three black Beast Crystals and tossed them to Si Ye. "Your initial guess was right. Someone is secretly trying to kill her. That’s why I brought her to the Imperial Palace—she’s safer here with me."
Only when Si Ye sensed Sang Luo’s presence reappear back at the Marquis Mansion did he stand down.
Fei Yuan asked Si Ye, "Is the situation in the Western Region resolved?"
Si Ye nodded. "For the most part. Unfortunately, Si Yang got away again."
"Why would he frame that little female?"
"Luoluo is pregnant."
Fei Yuan was stunned. "She’s... pregnant? For real?"
