Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 47 - 31: I Want to Go to the Study~

The moment Sophie heard the word "dean," a trace of fear clearly entered her eyes. Still, before leaving, she glared resentfully at Sang Luo and said viciously,

"You just wait. If you dare pester my male again, I won’t let you off!"

"Sophie’s been spoiled since she was a child, so she can be a bit headstrong. Please don’t mind her. I’ll have a word with her later."

The man before her had blond hair and green eyes. He wore a simple white shirt and slim, straight-leg black trousers that accentuated his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and tall, upright posture. It was a style completely different from their last meeting in the Beast World, but this one carried the effortless grace and elegance of an aristocrat.

"...Duotu?"

Duotu raised an eyebrow with a faint smile, looking at Sang Luo. He stooped, took her hand, and placed a light kiss on its back. "We meet again, little cutie. I left in too much of a hurry last time. Let me introduce myself properly. I’m Duotu Yalan, the Crown Prince of the Yalan Empire."

"..." How awkward to run into an acquaintance. Sang Luo was at a complete loss for words.

"Didn’t you say you weren’t a female from the Western Continent?" Duotu said with a playful smile. He had long suspected something was off. Seeing Sang Luo again was a pleasant surprise, but not a total shock.

"I brought her here."

Just then, Caesar came over, having finished the registration.

He pulled Sang Luo by the hand, separating her from Duotu, who was exuding his masculine charm.

"Hm?" Duotu looked between the two of them, stunned.

"Are you hurt?" Caesar asked, looking at her gently.

Sang Luo said proudly, "That Sixth Rank Eagle Beast thinks she can hurt me? She’s not nearly good enough!"

"Heh. Next time someone provokes you, you can hit harder. No need to deliberately hold back. I’ll protect you." Caesar smiled. He knew she had her own strength and that basically no one could hurt her, so he hadn’t been too worried. He had been watching from inside and saw she was enjoying herself, so he hadn’t interrupted.

It finally clicked for Duotu. He looked at Caesar in shock. "So she’s your little female!" Then he turned to Sang Luo. "Little cutie, you really had me fooled!"

"But snakes and mice are natural enemies. Caesar, how did you end up with a little mouse female?"

"...!" Sang Luo desperately wanted to rush forward and clamp a hand over his big mouth.

’I didn’t actually want to be a mouse!’

She hadn’t expected to run into Duotu back then. The Insect Clan’s Disguise Technique required blood to create the illusion.

’And now, my identity as a Mouse Beast is set in stone!’

’So, Caesar is a Snake Beast, huh? I never would have guessed. That bracelet must be his true form.’

"You’re a Mouse Beast?" Caesar looked at Sang Luo, his brow furrowed.

Sang Luo’s heart skipped a beat. ’He’s not going to look down on my beast form, is he?’

Caesar turned and questioned Duotu instead.

"How do you know Sangsang is from the Mouse Clan? Have you seen her?"

’Even I haven’t seen it, but this lion has!’

’When you transform from beast to human, you’re naked. If this lion saw her... doesn’t that mean...’

The air suddenly turned frigid. In that instant, Duotu felt as if Caesar wanted to swallow him whole.

"Ahem, nothing at all happened with your little female! We only met twice in the Rubel Forest, that’s it. I didn’t even get the chance to start anything with her before, well... this happened!" He shrugged, looking quite regretful. ’A brother’s wife is off-limits.’

This Snake Beast was incredibly petty. Duotu might be a Prince, but when it came to talent, Caesar was the strongest in the Empire. How else could he have risen from an orphan the Beast King found on the East Continent to an Imperial Admiral?

As for himself... Duotu laughed bitterly to himself. His future partner wouldn’t necessarily be someone he liked, but she had to be a noble female with exceptionally high Fertility.

’That position only recognizes bloodline and children...’

「The Manor.」

Caesar had Duotu stay for lunch, ordering the servants to prepare dozens of dishes, as well as freshly squeezed juice.

The entire table was filled with Sang Luo’s favorite foods.

Sang Luo glanced at Caesar. ’It’s only been a short while, and he already has all my preferences figured out. This man—is terrifying!’

Caesar caught Sang Luo’s subtle glance and placed a piece of sweet and sour pork in her bowl. He chuckled. "You said it was too sweet last time. How is it this time? If it’s not to your taste, I’ll have the chef take it back and make it again."

"It’s delicious this time. You try some too." She also picked up a piece of meat with her chopsticks, leaned over, and fed it to him.

Caesar rarely ate, but how could he refuse something fed to him by Sang Luo herself? "...Very sweet."

"Hm? Is it? I think the sweetness is perfect!" Unconvinced, Sang Luo ate another piece.

"Yes, if you like it, have some more."

Duotu, "..." He was starting to feel like an awkward third wheel.

Fortunately, just then, a deliberately sweet and cloying voice came from outside the door,
