Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 91 - 54: Buried

"You sick freak, get lost." Catching him off guard, Sang Luo unleashed a Soul attack straight at his eyes.

"Agh! You bitch!" the man shrieked, clutching one of his bleeding eyes.

His other hand lashed out at her chest.

The next second, half of his arm exploded into bloody chunks.

"Sang Luo!"

Ah Ze appeared in a flash to catch Sang Luo, pulling her tightly into his embrace. His ice-cold gaze locked onto the bleeding, screaming green-haired man. For the first time, Sang Luo saw utter rage on his face!

"So you have backup!"

The green-haired man’s face twisted, and he immediately activated the Array. The members of the Insect Clan below didn’t have time to escape and were instantly sacrificed. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

An eerie, terrifying red light flared. Sang Luo was terrified. ’It’s a shame I don’t know the first thing about Arrays,’ she thought. ’If I’d known this would happen, I would have spent more time reading those books in Caesar’s study.’

"Get the people out first!"

Ah Ze turned to carry her away.

"Hey, I told you to save the people first—" Cool lips landed on her forehead. Sang Luo blinked, stunned. Ah Ze held her face in his hands, gazing at her for a long moment, as if he had a thousand things to say. In the end, all he whispered was, "Wait for me."

He vanished in an instant. Freed, Sang Luo flew into the sky and looked down over the entire city.

The Array expanded rapidly, encompassing the entire city in the blink of an eye.

One second before it fully activated—

BOOM! The Array shattered.

The crisis vanished before the people in the city even knew it was happening.

Sang Luo returned to the inn, lost in thought. She overheard the patrons buzzing with news: all the missing females had returned, including the City Lord’s own noble female. The Beastmen dispatched to investigate had discovered the remnants of a sacrificial Array and traces of the Insect Clan. In response, the City Lord had immediately canceled the beast-fighting tournament, sealed the city gates, and ordered a city-wide investigation.

Ah Ze returned that night.

He refused to leave her side.

His passion was different from usual—fierce, almost sorrowful. Sang Luo quickly surrendered, her body melting into a boneless puddle. Only then did he reluctantly release her, pressing a soft kiss to her lips.

Sang Luo hugged him, nuzzling her head against his chest. Her voice was laced with a satisfied, coquettish charm. "Is there anything you want? Let me make it up to you~"

He placed a hand on her lower abdomen, his touch full of endless tenderness.

"The gift... Ah Ze wants... is right here..."

She smiled. "You’re so greedy."

Ah Ze buried his head in the crook of her neck and seemed to let out a deep sigh. "Sang Luo..."

「From that day on」, Sang Luo noticed that Ah Ze’s health was deteriorating. He lost weight rapidly, and his scales grew dull and faded, losing all their vitality.

When Sang Luo prepared a meal and called him, he wouldn’t move. He would only respond with a few weak thumps of his tail, but he refused to eat. He spent nearly all his time sleeping.

Sang Luo was terrified that Ah Ze would fall asleep and never wake up. ’Was he secretly injured by that member of the Insect Clan?’ While he slept, she secretly tried to use her own power to heal him. It helped a little, but not much.

It was the first time her power had proven so ineffective.

’Why?’

She watched as Ah Ze grew weaker and weaker, becoming so thin that his once beautiful skin seemed stretched taut over his bones. It was a heartbreaking sight.

This went on for about half a month, until Ah Ze’s body had wasted away to an extreme. He was nothing but skin and bones. ’If he didn’t still respond faintly when I call his name,’ Sang Luo thought, ’I’d be sure he was already dead.’

"Ah Ze..."

Sang Luo went to the bedside and shook him, forcing him awake.

Ah Ze flinched, his eyes opening, filled with confusion and helplessness. A moment later, his pupils trembled. "Sang Luo, don’t!"

He saw Sang Luo take out a knife and slice open her right palm. As bright red blood gushed out, she quickly brought her hand to Ah Ze’s mouth.

Some color returned to Ah Ze’s pale, gaunt face, but he choked on the blood and began to cough violently. He shoved her away, his eyes blazing with a rare anger. "Sang Luo!"

Sang Luo sighed. "Be good. My blood helps you." ’I’ve already lost one person,’ she thought. ’I can’t lose another.’

His lips pressed into a thin, tight line as he refused her blood.

But in his current state, he was powerless to resist. His pained struggle gave way to acceptance.

One day, Sang Luo returned home to find Ah Ze standing at the door to welcome her. It was the first time he had gotten out of bed in half a month.

His body was lean and tall. A waterfall of pale blue, almost silver hair cascaded down his back. He had long, silver-blue eyes, fringed with thick lashes. His features were as fine as if carved from jade—alluring yet aloof, flawlessly perfect.

Sang Luo hurried over, gently touching his face. "Why are you up today? Are you feeling better? I bought some of your favorite fresh fish. How does fish soup sound for dinner tonight?"
