Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 237 - 181: Successful Conception

"He’s not well?" Sang Luo was surprised. ’I couldn’t tell at all.’

Dozens of nautical miles from the Sea Palace lay the Star Sea Coral Forest.

Countless glowing stones rested on the seabed rocks. The water was filled with floating, luminous plankton and Crystal Stone fragments that scattered specks of light through the deep blue sea. From a distance, it resembled the starlight of the night sky.

Vast swathes of the coral were tens of thousands of years old, layered upon one another like a rainforest.

Little Blue Eucalyptus had fallen in love with this place after visiting the surface twice.

Lou Xianyue had incorporated the Star Sea Coral Forest into the Sea Palace’s domain.

All large, ferocious Sea Beasts near the coral forest had been driven away, and guards patrolled it daily. He often brought Little Blue Eucalyptus here to play, gazing at the vast sea of stars for long stretches, sometimes sitting for an entire night.

Those small, colorful stones were the ones Blue Eucalyptus had picked up in the coral forest.

When mother and son returned from the Star Sea Coral Forest, it was already evening by surface-world hours, but Lou Xianyue still hadn’t come back.

Sang Luo felt a faint unease. Usually, whenever she returned to the Sea Palace, Lou Xianyue would want to stick to her side twenty-four hours a day. ’Why is he acting so abnormally this time?’

She went to ask Uncle Su.

Uncle Su said, "Your Majesty has been quite busy these days. If the Queen and the Young Master have urgent business with him, shall this old servant send someone to inform him and have him hurry back?"

"That won’t be necessary." Sang Luo didn’t want to disturb his official duties. "I’ll play with our son. I’ll find Ah Ze after he’s finished with his work."

"Very well. Please rest easy in the palace, Queen. If you need anything, feel free to command this old servant."

"Thank you for your trouble, Uncle Su." Sang Luo nodded, then carried Blue Eucalyptus to eat. She tied a small, pink bib on him, fastening it with a bow at the back.

"Mommy, what’s this thing?" he asked, tugging at the small cloth pouch around his neck.

"It’s a bib. It’s to stop you from dropping crumbs when you eat."

"Little An is very neat," he pouted. But as he started eating his dried fish, CRUNCH CRUNCH, crumbs fell everywhere.

Sang Luo smiled speechlessly and wiped his mouth and little hands with a handkerchief. A tall, sturdy-looking Beastman walked in from outside. Their skin was a pale, grayish-blue, and their face was somewhat androgynous.

Their chest was flat, so Sang Luo assumed they were a male. But then the person spoke, "I knew it! So you’re the Female Master of the Sea Palace!"

’The shark Beastman I met last time?’

"Uh... you..." she stammered, a bit shocked.

Uncle Su came over and explained, "This is the daughter of the Ancient Sea City’s City Lord, the noble female Ni Sha."

Sang Luo nodded. "Are you here to see the Sea Emperor?"

"My father sent me to see the Sea Emperor, but I came especially to see you, Your Majesty the Queen! You left so quickly last time, I didn’t even get to say a few more words to you!"

Two tall, strong Beastmen followed behind Ni Sha. These two were clearly males, with solid, sinewy muscles and standing over two meters tall. Beastmen of the Shark Clan were generally burly and tall. The two of them were laden with gifts of all sizes.

"You don’t remember me, Queen? Back then, I was captured by the Insect Clan and taken to the Black Tower. I thought I was going to die for sure, but then the Queen descended from the heavens, blew up the Black Tower, and even used a Teleportation Array to save us! I’ve been wanting to find a chance to thank you, but I never knew where you were from. When I saw you last time, I thought I had the wrong person. I can’t believe it’s really you!" Ni Sha said excitedly.

Sang Luo looked at Ni Sha’s humanoid form, finding her a bit familiar. There were many strong and tall females in the Beast World, but a Beastman with her pale, grayish-blue skin was quite rare.

Then she remembered. "Oh, it’s you. You don’t have to be so formal. I was just trying to save my child at the time and happened to rescue you all as well."

"It’s true that the Queen saved my life. You are Ni Sha’s savior, so I definitely had to come and thank you properly!"

"Since it is a token of the noble female Ni Sha’s gratitude, please accept it, Queen," Uncle Su added.

Sang Luo didn’t refuse again and accepted the gifts. "Have you eaten, noble female? Would you like to sit for a while?"

Ni Sha scratched her head and chuckled. "Thank you for your kind offer, Your Majesty the Queen! I won’t disturb you and the Young Master. I actually came this time under my father’s orders to discuss an important matter with His Majesty the Sea Emperor. The seal in the Deserted Sea Area outside Ancient Sea City has..."

"His Majesty is not here at the moment. All matters concerning the sea have been temporarily handed over to Lord Chao You and Lord Zai Xin. If the noble female has urgent business, how about this old servant takes you to the Political Hall to discuss it further?" Uncle Su interrupted her.

Ni Sha nodded quickly. "Then I’ll have to trouble you."

She said to Sang Luo, "Your Majesty the Queen, I’ll head over now, then. I’ll come visit again when I have the chance."

’She’s a straightforward and likable girl.’ Sang Luo smiled. "Go on, then. Business is more important."

After Sang Luo had been in the Sea Palace for seven or eight days, the witch doctor brought joyous news: she was pregnant.

Instantly, the entire Sea Palace erupted in celebration. The palace hadn’t been this lively since His Majesty personally brought the Young Master back from the outside world two years ago.

Previously, the various powers of the outside seas had all been eyeing the South Sea. They thought the South Sea Merfolk Clan was in decline, with the Sea Emperor slumbering for a century and not a single heir to his name. They believed the Merfolk Clan would die out in this generation and secretly plotted how to carve up the sacred territory.

Who would have thought that as soon as the Queen appeared, not only did His Majesty awaken, but she also blessed the South Sea with two young masters?

’In the future! We’ll see who dares to have designs on the South Sea now!’

Sang Luo was very happy too, but her expression was somewhat lonely. So many days had passed, and she hadn’t seen Lou Xianyue once since their last night of passion.

Uncle Su said he had already informed Lou Xianyue of the good news about her pregnancy, but he still hadn’t returned.

"Does he really know I’m pregnant?"

Uncle Su smiled. "It’s absolutely true. The moment we had the happy news, Queen, this old servant sent someone to inform His Majesty. His Majesty was overjoyed to hear of your pregnancy and sent these things."

Sang Luo took the Qiankun Bag and looked inside. It was filled with Beast Crystals and Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures for her to consume during her pregnancy.

"His Majesty gave specific instructions. The amount of spiritual materials the Queen needs during pregnancy is immense. The Queen may take any of the South Sea’s resources at will. If it’s not enough, just tell this old servant, and all the Beastmen of the South Sea will go out to sea to find sufficient spiritual materials to ensure the Queen successfully carries the Young Master to term. Please do not worry."

Sang Luo nodded but didn’t speak.

Her heart felt a little empty.

’From what Uncle Su is saying, it seems that because I’m pregnant, Lou Xianyue can’t be by my side.’

She still hoped that the first thing her child would see upon opening their eyes would be their biological father.

The news of Sang Luo’s pregnancy was no secret. After Ni Sha found out, she began visiting the palace frequently over the next few days, always bringing gifts.

One day, Ni Sha entered the palace and saw what Sang Luo was holding. Her eyes nearly popped out of her head. "Your Majesty the Queen, what you’re holding is..."

Sang Luo held the White Porcelain Bottle in her hand and looked at her quizzically. "Why are you hesitating?"

She had found it in her bedchambers. Recalling Little Blue Eucalyptus saying that Lou Xianyue hadn’t been well recently, Sang Luo had just been thinking about asking the witch doctor what this medicine was for when she saw Ni Sha’s face instantly flush red.

Sang Luo suddenly felt that something was off. ’It couldn’t be... that, could it?’

’Even though Ah Ze is usually so gentle, he’s quite vigorous in bed. He shouldn’t... need this, right?’

Her face flushed, but she still asked, "This medicine is for...?"

Ni Sha’s face grew even redder. She said shyly, "Your Majesty the Queen, this... COUGH, this good stuff, do you have any extra? Could you give me some... no, sell me some? I can pay with Beast Crystals."

"Don’t tell me it really is—!"

"Hehe, this medicine is specially for males. It’s an aphrodisiac. It can make a male last longer during... that kind of thing. If the dose is large enough, it can even make a male enter their heat period early."

Sang Luo’s hand froze. She knew Ah Ze wanted a second child, but was he really in such a hurry?

Using medicine to force his body into an early heat period would be damaging to his health.
