Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 213 - 157: Does What You Said Last Time Still Count?

Chapter 213: Chapter 157: Does What You Said Last Time Still Count?

"I’m not in pain anymore, just a little tired." Sang Luo smiled at him, though it was tinged with fatigue.

Si Ye’s heart ached with a bittersweet pang again. He took the small swaddled bundle from her arms, glanced at it, and placed it on the small wooden bed nearby. Then, he brought over a basin of warm water, dampened a clean towel, and wiped the thin layer of sweat from her face and neck. He reached out and loosened her collar a bit. "Luoluo, let me wipe you down."

After giving birth, Sang Luo had used Water Magic to cleanse all the stains and blood from her body. But after lying in bed for a while, she was slowly getting soaked in a cold sweat again.

Si Ye’s eyes were full of concern. Sang Luo didn’t refuse, letting him unfasten her clothes and wipe her down. She immediately felt much more refreshed.

There wasn’t a trace of his usual impure thoughts in Si Ye’s mind. His hands were even trembling slightly as he grumbled under his breath, "Having a child is so hard. I don’t know why you’re so fickle..."

"What?" Sang Luo didn’t quite catch what he had mumbled.

"Nothing. Your clothes are soaked in sweat and have gone stiff. They must be uncomfortable. I’ll change you into something else. Can you move right now?" Si Ye covered her with the blanket and sat on the edge of the bed.

"I’m fine. Once I rest a bit, I could even get up and run and jump around for you."

"You’re talking nonsense!"

Sang Luo pouted. She watched as Si Ye rummaged through his storage space and pulled out a soft, silk-cotton white nightgown. It was printed with small white flowers, looking very fresh and elegant.

Si Ye helped her change into it.

The size was just right.

"Hm? When did you buy clothes for me? I’ve never seen this before."

Si Ye glanced at her and opened a Qiankun Ring. It was filled with clothes and jewelry of all styles. Ever since they got together, he had taken a liking to browsing clothing and jewelry stores, buying any beautiful styles he saw.

Unfortunately, he never had a chance to see what they looked like on her.

Si Ye looked at her. It suited her. It was beautiful.

Sang Luo lay in bed for a while longer before opening her eyes again. She wet her dry lips. "I’m a little thirsty. Can you get me a glass of water?"

Si Ye got up and poured her a glass of warm water.

Sang Luo drank half the glass. He then took a Jade Ganoderma from his storage space, which emanated a dense Spiritual Energy. "Here, eat this while you have the water."

"Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are for the baby to eat. Now that the child is born, I don’t need to eat these." It was clearly a rare and precious item; it would be a waste for her to eat it.

"This is for you, not for the cub."

Sang Luo wanted to secretly put the Jade Ganoderma into her storage space and save it for her next pregnancy. But of course, Si Ye guessed her intentions. He specifically watched her until she slowly finished eating it, then said, "This is a Spiritual material that replenishes essence and Primordial Blood. It will nourish your body. I have more. I’ll save it to make soup for you over the next few days."

"Alright, alright, stop fussing over me. Look at the baby. I heard from Fei Yuan that she has a Divine Bloodline."

"I’ve already looked." Si Ye went over and picked up the child from the small wooden bed again. As he looked at her, his defiant, handsome features softened with a rare gentleness. "This child’s bloodline is outstanding. Although she doesn’t have a Dual Beast Body, the strength of her Bian Beast Body’s bloodline far surpasses mine."

"You should give the child a name."

Si Ye pondered for a moment. For the Ancient Beast Clan, naming was an important matter. He would have to return to the clan and think it over carefully with Si Jing and the other Elders. "Let’s give her a nickname first. How about Zhenzhen?"

Sang Luo smiled. "Zhenzhen. It sounds nice, and the meaning is good too."

Si Ye asked her, "Are you going to keep this child?"

Sang Luo could see that he wanted the child. "No, this child was always meant for you. Raise her well, and don’t let her talent go to waste."

"Thank you, Luoluo. I will definitely raise her to be the most outstanding Bian. With this child, the entire Bian Clan will be your backers. You can command us as you wish. As long as you ask, we will help with all our might." His voice grew softer. "...I was always your backer to begin with."

Seeing him like this, Sang Luo wasn’t sure if Fei Yuan had actually given him the Forgetfulness Water. After thinking for a moment, she decided to be direct. "Si Ye, besides you, I have five other Beast Husbands. There’s one I will never have contact with again in this life. Another Beast Husband has passed away. And another one..."

Sang Luo paused, unsure how to continue. Her soul mark with Caesar was gone, but she still had feelings for him. She definitely couldn’t sever ties with him the way she had with Duotu.

So she decided to just gloss over it.

"There are two Beast Husbands still with me now. Do you truly not mind?"

Sang Luo knew Si Ye loved her and could overlook the calculating way she had approached him, but she didn’t believe a person could so easily change their principles.

Even if Si Ye said he didn’t mind, he surely did in his heart.

"I do mind." Si Ye pulled a chair to the bedside, looked at Sang Luo, and said bluntly, "Luoluo, I’m afraid of becoming like my mother’s consorts and servants—a Male Beast who only knows how to fight for favor, devolving into an unscrupulous, jealous husband, becoming the very kind of person I despise most."

Sang Luo sighed. But she couldn’t give up the others just for him.

In the end, their principles were just too different.

Sang Luo nodded. "Ah Ye, I don’t expect you to stay by my side. Take the child with you. Without the worry of producing an heir, you can find a female you truly like, without having to consider Fertility anymore."

Si Ye gazed into her eyes, as if trying to peer into their depths to see if any sadness was hidden there.

They looked at each other, speechless.

The air seemed to freeze.

"I do mind, but I won’t leave either." Si Ye was the first to break the silence, his tone shifting. "Do you still mean what you said that day?"

"What?"

Sang Luo blinked. ’What day? What did I say?’

"You... when I was unconscious, you said that if we had met in another time and place, you would have said yes to me."

Sang Luo was stunned for a moment, then nodded firmly. "I meant it."

’In this Beast World, to protect myself and achieve my goals, I have no choice but to rely on more powerful males to climb higher. I’m fated to be unable to give any of them my exclusive love.’

’But if I had met Si Ye in my own world, I would have been moved by such a passionate and pure love. Unfortunately... these are two different times, two different places. In the Beast World, I can’t give him what he wants.’

"Ah Ye, I want to go home. My home is a very distant place," Sang Luo said softly. "I want to find a way to travel through time and space."

Si Ye was dazed and lost in thought for a long moment. He suddenly stood up, his expression uncharacteristically solemn and cold. "Luoluo, could it be that you..."

He seemed to be wary of something and didn’t continue.

Sang Luo asked him, "What’s wrong?"

But Si Ye nodded and relented. "Alright. I believe you. I will wait for that day... Have you told anyone else this?"

Sang Luo shook her head. "No, I’ve only told you."

The corners of Si Ye’s lips curled up slightly. ’No wonder she’s never mentioned her origins. She only told me, and no one else, something so important. That’s enough to show how much she values and trusts me.’

He said, "Remember, do not reveal this to anyone else."

Sang Luo met his gaze and slowly nodded. ’Si Ye is quick-witted and intelligent. He’s probably guessed some of it...’
