Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 76 - 44: A Few More Times Is Not a Problem
"Heh... you must be craving it..."
After their long, gentle, and utterly blissful lovemaking, Caesar held Sang Luo, who had gone limp and fallen fast asleep in his arms. His eyes were filled with sated satisfaction.
Her face was still flushed with a lingering blush, making her look all the more alluring.
He kissed her cheek, then her full, rosy lips. He gently held her by her rounded belly, his heart filled with an indescribable happiness and contentment.
After sleeping groggily for a while, Sang Luo was struck by a sudden pang of hunger. She opened her eyes and stared eagerly at the man beside her. Caesar knew she was hungry again. He ordered the servants to prepare a meal, and in the meantime, handed her a glass of water and a few Purple Crystals.
After drinking the water and eating the Purple Crystals, Sang Luo licked her lips, still not quite satisfied. "I want to eat a King Rank Beast Crystal."
"You just had one yesterday. It’s only been a day. Too much of a good thing can be bad for you." Not every Beastman could handle the potent power of a King Crystal. Caesar had originally planned to give her one every half-month or so, letting her body gradually adapt to prevent a backlash from the power.
"I think I can handle it. Give me another one." She rubbed her belly.
Caesar took a King Crystal from his dimensional space and gave it to her. Seeing no unusual reaction after she finished eating it, he was relieved.
At the same time, a flicker of doubt crossed his mind. It usually took even him several days to refine a King Crystal. The talent of this child... seemed to be even stronger than he had imagined.
Caesar’s gaze burned as he looked at her belly.
Sang Luo, however, was getting sleepy again.
Suddenly, Caesar coughed twice.
Sang Luo’s eyes flew open. She saw his face had turned pale, his brow was slightly furrowed, and the color had drained from his lips. A trickle of fresh blood even flowed from the corner of his mouth.
She immediately grew tense. "Are you... are you injured?"
"It’s nothing serious. It’s just that my body can’t quite take it..."
Sang Luo blushed, her mind flashing back to their passionate entanglement last night and this morning. She lowered her head guiltily. "Ahem, if you were injured, why didn’t you say so sooner? You’ve been so tired lately, I shouldn’t have kept you for so long." ’Did I really drain him dry?!’
"It’s not about that." Caesar’s gaze turned suddenly dangerous. He reached out and wiped her swollen, red lips, his voice husky. "As long as you’re willing, a few more rounds would be no problem at all."
Before Sang Luo could say a word, his cool lips silenced her, and she learned firsthand the unbearably ecstatic price of speaking too soon.
After another half a day of passionate intimacy, Caesar still wanted more. But Sang Luo, concerned for his health—ahem! It definitely wasn’t because she was reaching her limit!—took the initiative to end their blissful session.
She lazily wrapped her arms around his lean waist, sniffing the faint, pleasant scent on him. "What’s really wrong with your body?"
He didn’t look injured. How could he be so energetic if he was? He showed no signs of weakness at all; in fact, he had taken care of her so perfectly.
Caesar’s complexion was a bit rosier than before. He gently nibbled her red earlobe and revealed the secret he had kept buried in his heart. "...My bloodline is incomplete. My spiritual power tested as Super S, but my physical strength is only an A. I’ve been overusing my spiritual power lately, and my body is struggling to keep up."
"So that’s why you’ve been using all those nutrient solutions." It dawned on Sang Luo.
"Mhm, I had a physician specially formulate these nutrient solutions. They’re easier for the body to absorb and don’t produce any impurities, so they don’t place any extra burden on my system."
Caesar was long used to it and didn’t mind, but seeing Sang Luo’s face full of heartache, his heart was suddenly filled with a bittersweet warmth. He ruffled her hair and said softly, "I’m really fine. Overdrafting my spiritual power just puts my body into a short period of weakness. I’ll be fine after soaking in the hot spring for a night."
"I’ll go with you."
"...Can your body still take it?"
Seeing his gaze sweep downwards, Sang Luo blushed again. "You lecherous snake!"
「Another month passed.」
During this time, Sang Luo consumed one King Crystal every day. Her belly had grown noticeably larger, to the point that even maternity clothes couldn’t hide it. She rarely went out for walks anymore; her body was simply too heavy and tired to bear it.
One morning, just as Caesar finished applying olive oil to her belly, Leon burst in anxiously.
Caesar pulled the blanket over her and shot Leon a look. "Let’s talk outside."
Leon quickly followed him out.
The door closed.
Sang Luo wasn’t asleep. She extended her spiritual power to listen.
In the outer room, Leon spoke hastily, "This is bad, milord! A few days ago, the Beast King was the target of an assassination attempt in the palace. An investigation was launched, and somehow, it’s led to you. He suspects you used your spiritual power to control the Princess and attempt to murder him. He thinks you’re a traitor and wants to get justice for his beloved daughter! He’s going to hold you accountable!"
