Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 445 - 384: Birthday Cake

Sang Luo threw her arms around Minos, burying her face in the crook of his neck. She took a deep breath of the rich floral scent, warmed by the sun, and sighed, "You’re still the best!"

Minos, caught off guard by her rare, enthusiastic display of affection, blushed shyly. He glanced at Little Rose and Little Apple. The two children winked at him, their faces practically screaming, "We get it!" Then, they flapped their little wings and quickly flew out of sight, leaving their father and mother some sweet time alone.

Minos looked away from the children and back at her, his handsome face breaking into an even more captivating smile. He wrapped his arms around her waist and gently patted her back. "What’s wrong? Did something happen?"

"Sigh! My heart’s a little broken~"

Sang Luo tilted her face up, looking for comfort.

Minos’s eyes darkened. He lowered his head and gave her a deep, soul-stirring kiss that seemed to seep into her very bones. He kissed her until the female in his arms went weak at the knees, her cheeks flushed in a daze. Panting lightly, he pressed his forehead against hers and chuckled. "Tonight, after the children are asleep, I’ll use every trick I know to soothe Luoluo’s wounded body and soul..."

In her peripheral vision, Sang Luo saw Little Apple, who had left, now returning. He was peeking around a gallery pillar, hesitating about whether to approach. She quickly gave a light cough and gently pushed Minos away. He saw the children too and reverted to his prim and proper, ascetic appearance.

Sang Luo silently commented in her heart, ’A wolf in sheep’s clothing!’

"Hee hee, I just came to get my tools. Dad, Mom, please continue!" Little Apple said, grabbing the piping tools and a bag of frosting from the table.

Little Rose popped out from behind him, picked up the half-finished cake, and secretly took a bite. Her golden eyes narrowed in pleasure at the delicious taste. When Little Apple saw her, he flicked her on the forehead. "You’re so naughty, sis! You’re not allowed to sneak bites of the birthday cake!"

"It’s Little Rose and Little Apple’s birthday soon?" Sang Luo asked, surprised.

Minos smiled at her. "Luoluo, have you forgotten the children’s birthday?"

The two little tykes turned their heads to look, staring at her with wide, expectant eyes.

Sang Luo gently pinched Minos’s arm, covering her tracks. "Of course I remember! How could Mommy possibly forget? Mommy has even prepared your birthday presents already!"

"What birthday presents did Mommy prepare?" Little Rose licked the frosting from her lips and flew happily into her arms.

Sang Luo took out a handkerchief and wiped her mouth. "Birthday presents are meant to be given on your birthday! It’s not a surprise if I give them to you early!"

"Their birthday is tomorrow," Minos helpfully reminded her.

Sang Luo broke into a cold sweat. ’Tomorrow? These two will probably come looking for their gifts the second it turns midnight, and I haven’t prepared anything!’

"Be good, you two. Go play for a bit. Mommy and Daddy have something to talk about." Sang Luo kissed her two little angels. They were getting more beautiful as they grew. Their faces weren’t as round as before, but they were still chubby and cute, with golden hair and golden eyes. They were like exquisitely carved jade, utterly adorable.

The two little ones said they were going to play, but they actually went to sneak more bites of the cake.

"The cake you worked so hard on is ruined. You’ll have to make another one," Sang Luo said, smiling at Minos.

He didn’t seem to mind. "The last cake base was a little too hard anyway. It’s a good chance to remake it."

"Okay, you make a cake, and I’ll make a cake. We’ll give them to our two little cubs and see which one they like more!" ’Good thing I had twins,’ she thought. ’Now their presents are covered!’

Minos smiled. "Alright."

They chatted while they made their cakes.

Sang Luo said, "Should we be looking for tutors for the children?"

Minos replied, "There’s no rush. They’re still young, at an age where they just want to play. When they want to learn, they’ll naturally ask me to find instructors for them."

Sang Luo said, "Alright then. Since you’re the one raising them, I won’t worry about it!"

Minos had been deprived of a happy childhood, and since the children were bright, he preferred letting them grow up carefree and happy rather than pushing them into intensive early education.

"Now, about you. What happened? Who broke Luoluo’s heart?" Minos rarely left the Holy Palace, while Sang Luo had been on the Beast World Continent for some time and hadn’t come back much. He had his own selfish and jealous feelings. In the days after Sang Luo left the Holy Palace, Minos had focused most of his attention on their two children, deliberately avoiding paying attention to what she was doing or which males she was with.

Sang Luo told Minos what had happened in Qingqiu, emphasizing the part about being a stand-in.

Minos looked at her fuming and shook his head with a small smile. "The Divine Venerable was indeed in the wrong, but Luoluo, don’t be too sad. There’s no need to take it to heart. The Divine Venerable has lived for over a hundred thousand years; it’s only normal that he’s liked other females before."

"I understand the logic, but my heart just feels heavy. This is the first time I’ve ever been used as a substitute!"

"But didn’t you just see him as a tool, too?"

"Er..."

That was true!

’Fair enough. Neither of us was any better than the other.’

Minos’s words cleared her head. She wasn’t angry anymore, and she even felt a little guilty. In any case, she hadn’t lost out by sleeping with a top-tier beauty. She got his Primordial Yang and his talent for free. No matter how you looked at it, she was the one who had gotten the better end of the deal!

"Anyway, let’s not talk about that. I came to find you for another reason. Do you know where the Wu Lian Domain is?"

"The Wu Lian Domain..." Minos murmured, looking down. "I think I’ve seen it mentioned in a book before. I’ll go look for it later and let you know when I find it."

"Okay!"

Sang Luo had just finished piping a decorative border on half the cake when the frosting, which was too soft, fell onto the turntable with a SPLAT.

Meanwhile, Minos had already finished his new cake.

It was a small, pure-white cake with sculpted decorations, looking just like a work of art carved from white paste. It was almost too beautiful to eat!

"Luoluo, I win," he said, his eyes crinkling into a smile. "Does the winner get a prize?"

"Nope!"

"Then the loser must be punished," he breathed into her ear. "Tonight, let me think about how I should punish Luoluo..."

Quick as a flash, Sang Luo stuck a finger into Minos’s finished cake, scooped up a thick, soft dollop of frosting, and dabbed it on the tip of his nose. With a grin, she said, "My cake isn’t finished, so you haven’t won yet!"

"Heh~ Cheater." Minos’s tone was full of indulgence, his eyes filled with a doting smile. His beautiful, petal-like lips moved closer to her fingertip, and his rosy tongue licked the frosting clean.

The tingling sensation on her finger sent a shiver through Sang Luo’s entire body!

’Foul play!’

"You know, I just realized we’ve never celebrated your birthday together, Luoluo. Let’s share this cake." Minos cut the cake into several pieces and served her a slice. "Luoluo, what day is your birthday?"

"The time here is different from my home world. I don’t even know what day my birthday would be in the Beast World."

"In that case, why don’t we make today your birthday in the Beast World?" 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

"Mmm, okay." Sang Luo took a bite of the cake. The base was baked perfectly soft and wasn’t dry at all. The frosting was creamy and rich, sweet but not cloying.

Minos started over and made another cake for the children, but this time, he fell behind Sang Luo.

After they celebrated the children’s birthday, night fell, and she received her "little punishment."
