Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 206 - 150: Dad Is So Useless

"Little An, my darling!" Sang Luo’s face lit up with joy as she opened her arms. "Come here and let Mommy give you a kiss!"

"Mommy! I missed you so much! You haven’t come to the Imperial Palace to see Daddy and me in so long!" The little one had been fast asleep when his own father plucked him up. His mind was still a bit fuzzy, but the moment he opened his eyes and saw Sang Luo, he scrambled into her embrace, clinging to her like a little octopus.

"It hasn’t been that long, just a little over a month. Mommy has had other things to take care of recently. I’ll spend more time with you and your dad when I’m free." Sang Luo held Blue Eucalyptus with both hands, giving him a little bounce. He was a bit heavier than before she left, and his little face was chubby. He was being raised very well.

Lou Xianyue glanced at his son with approval. ’All that care wasn’t for nothing.’ "Don’t be too rowdy. Behave yourself. Mommy has a little brother or sister in her belly."

Blue Eucalyptus blinked his big, round blue eyes. "Is it Dad’s?"

Sang Luo coughed lightly. "No, it’s... it’s from another one of your uncles."

Blue Eucalyptus pouted his little red lips, his fishtail sweeping lightly across Lou Xianyue’s arm. ’Dad is so disappointing!’

Lou Xianyue rubbed his nose, a little embarrassed. He took Blue Eucalyptus from Sang Luo’s arms, holding him effortlessly with one hand. "He’s not so little anymore. It’s better if I hold him."

"Can Little An be away from Water?"

"It’s fine. He’s much stronger than before. He can stay on land for half a month, no problem." Lou Xianyue took out a baby bottle.

Blue Eucalyptus skillfully took the bottle, bit down on the nipple, and drank the milk in small sips. He looked adorable and well-behaved.

Sang Luo was amused. "Mermaids need to drink milk?"

"Normally, no. This child probably takes after you. He quite likes drinking this. I’ve traded for a lot of this milk powder from the continent. It’s quite nutritious, and it tastes pretty good too."

"You even steal your son’s food?"

Lou Xianyue had been worried that a Mermaid’s body might be intolerant to dairy, so he had tasted a can of the formula himself before starting to feed it to Blue Eucalyptus. A new thought struck him, and his pink lips curled into a slight smile. In a hushed voice that only the two of them could hear, he whispered, "Sang’er, did you know that after you had a child, even when you’re not lactating, you have a faint, milky scent on you? That’s what I want to taste..."

Sang Luo’s face instantly turned red. She slapped away the hand that was secretly creeping toward her waist. ’The child is right here, and this father has no shame!’

Sang Luo took out a few coconuts from her storage space.

She whipped up a cup of coconut milk.

"Sweetheart, try this flavor."

"Mommy~ this is so yummy!" Blue Eucalyptus took the coconut milk and drank a big gulp. His blue eyes lit up, and he drank even more happily.

Lou Xianyue was curious. "Let me try some too."

Sang Luo mixed a cup for him as well.

Lou Xianyue condensed a lotus-shaped chunk of Ice in his palm, dropped it into the cup with a PLOP, and finished it in a few gulps. He certainly knew how to enjoy himself.

Sang Luo then made strawberry-flavored, peach-flavored, and cantaloupe-flavored... Blue Eucalyptus happily drank them all, but he still liked the rich, fragrant coconut milk the best.

A gentle breeze blew past, sending a flurry of pink petals and leaves showering down like pink snow, creating a dreamlike, illusory scene.

Lou Xianyue stood under the tree holding the child, an elegant figure of jade-like grace. The wind rustled his silver hair and robes, scattering a layer of petals over both father and son. They looked like an immortal lord of the bright moon, holding a Little Fairy as they descended to the mortal realm to face a trial. The sight was breathtakingly beautiful.

Sang Luo blinked and smiled. "You two, don’t move."

Lou Xianyue’s hand, which had been about to brush the fallen leaves from his shoulder, froze.

Sang Luo moved a few meters away, took out a camera, and took a series of over a dozen shots with a rapid CLICK, CLICK, CLICK.

Lou Xianyue walked over with the child to take a look, his lips curling into a soft smile that made his face seem all the more bewitching and ethereal. He casually picked up a few leafy vines from the ground and wove two pink floral wreaths. He placed the smaller one on Blue Eucalyptus’s head and the larger one on Sang Luo’s. Then he took the camera and snapped several pictures of the mother and son as well.

He kept one photo and gave the rest to Sang Luo.

Little An was exceptionally cute and beautiful, like an exquisitely crafted doll; he looked good from any angle. Sang Luo chose two photos from the dozens of shots, then took a photo album out of her storage space and slipped them inside.

Lou Xianyue saw that the album already contained a few pictures of Blue Eucalyptus. He looked down and compared the child in his arms to the photos; he had grown a little.

"I took those last time I went to the Sea King Palace." Sang Luo took out several more albums from her storage space. She had prepared an album for each of her children to document them as they grew.

Three of the albums were still empty.

Lou Xianyue had a rough idea of the children she had given birth to.

The first time he met her was on a cruise ship. Sang Luo had gotten pregnant by that male from the Snake Clan. At the time, his Clone had sensed her powerful Fertility, was deeply drawn to it, and had pursued her all the way to the coast of the Western Continent.

Then there was that Lion King from the Yalan Empire on the Western Continent, who had also conceived an heir with her.

That left one unnamed album.

"Whose child is this for?" he asked.

"He’s also from my snake husband. I was pregnant with twins at the time."

"The Soaring Snake Clan?"

"..." Sang Luo looked at Lou Xianyue. ’How could he have guessed that?’

Lou Xianyue smiled. "Among the King Beasts of the Snake Clan, only the Soaring Snakes have twins generation after generation. Could it be... you and Quan Xiu?"

"Alright, stop asking! It’s not him. I have nothing to do with him!" Sang Luo covered his mouth. If he kept asking, all her secrets would be exposed.

Lou Xianyue seemed gentle and uncontending, but his mind was anything but simple. When it came to anything about her, he had a relentless persistence to get to the bottom of it.

Lou Xianyue felt the gentle palm against his lips and blinked. After she let go, he spoke again, "I heard the old Clan Leader of the Soaring Snake Clan is nearing the end of his life and will soon pass his position to his adopted son, Quan Xiu."

Sang Luo looked down, flipping through the album without any reaction.

’Whether Caesar inherits the position or not has nothing to do with me.’

She could feel that since they had reunited, Caesar had changed a lot and was hiding many things from her.

He wasn’t the same person he used to be.

Caesar no longer held her in his heart, and Sang Luo’s own obsession with him had faded. If he could save the other egg, perhaps there was a chance for them in the future. But if that egg died, then he wouldn’t need to be a Beast Father anymore.

Sang Luo then remembered that Caesar had said he wanted to get something from the Old Beast King. ’What was it?’

Suddenly, the ground trembled and shuddered. Before Sang Luo could react, Lou Xianyue swept her into his arms and retreated several meters. The instant they moved, more than a dozen poisonous green vines burst from the spot where she had been standing. As if sentient, they launched an attack on the three of them.

A hundred Ice blades instantly shredded them to pieces.

Lou Xianyue walked over, collected the sap from the mutated vines, and extracted the active elements from within. He turned his head to Sang Luo and said, "These mutated vines are rare. Once the poison is removed, the sap can accelerate plant growth. Sang’er, do you have any Spirit Plant seeds?"

"I do." Sang Luo rummaged through her storage space. She often ate Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, especially fruit-bearing Spiritual materials. The seeds were useless to eat but a pity to throw away, so she had stored them all. She had a ton.

Lou Xianyue took a few seeds from her hand, scattered them on the ground, and watered them with the light green sap. In the blink of an eye, the Spirit Plants took root and sprouted. They would be mature and ready to eat in just a few hours.

"This stuff is amazing! There are so few Spirit Grasses and Spirit Plants out there, and they’re getting rarer. Plus, they take so long to mature. In the future, I can just grow my own. When I’m short on food, I won’t have to go through all the trouble of searching for it."

Lou Xianyue nodded. "Let’s find some more."

"Mommy, I can help look too~" Blue Eucalyptus raised his little hand.

Sang Luo planted a kiss on his soft little cheek and smiled. "Good boy. We’ll see whether you or your dad finds more. There’s a reward."
