Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 535 - 474: This Girl Is Too Silly

"Uncle and the Divine Venerable went to the Divine Realm and haven’t returned yet." Si Ye took the bowl of medicine, placed it on the table, and pulled a chair over to the bedside. "The Holy Monarch went as well. The Divine Realm, which was in the early stages of recovery, is showing signs of decay again. The few ancient, ten-thousand-year-old trees that bore the Divine Fruits have withered once more."

"Why?"

"The Divine River has dried up."

"The Divine River?"

"Yes. Every city has a moat, and the Divine Realm has the Guardian Divine River. Divine River Water nourishes all living things, so the realm’s decline into a desert is inextricably linked to this river running dry."

"Uncle mentioned before that the sign of the Divine Realm’s recovery was the discovery of a spring feeding the Divine River. But in the last two years, the river has unexpectedly dried up again." Si Ye shrugged.

Sang Luo frowned at his words. Whether the Divine Realm recovered or not didn’t have much of an effect on her personally.

’The children have powerful talents, but there’s a limit to how far they can go in the Beast World Territory. It’s difficult for them to reach the full potential of their Divine Beast bloodlines. If the Divine Realm were to reappear, it would be a tremendous boost for their futures.’

"Have Fei Yuan and the others figured out the source?"

"Uncle sent me a letter last month. He said it might be related to the Ghost Realm. Deep within the Divine River, they discovered a Transmission Gate from the Ghost Realm!"

Sang Luo was stunned.

Si Ye’s voice turned cold. "The Divine River holds the concentrated energy of the Divine Realm. If the Ghost Realm is truly behind this, it’s tantamount to stealing the Divine Realm’s energy. It’s a crime worthy of a thousand deaths!"

"...Has no one ever discovered this before?"

"I heard the Divine Venerable say that the Beast Clan and the Demon Clan once fought a world-ending war. Both sides suffered devastating casualties and were severely weakened. Meanwhile, the Ghost Clan watched from the sidelines the entire time, never participating. If the Ghost Clan had intended to be the oriole stalking the cicada back then, and had already been scheming in the shadows, I’m afraid the Beast Clan wouldn’t have had the strength left to resist."

Si Ye poured her a glass of honey water and said gently, "Don’t overthink it. Just get some rest. If anything really happens, we’ll be here to handle it."

Sang Luo yawned. She was truly exhausted.

She crooked her finger at him. "Come sleep with me for a bit~"

Si Ye’s heart skipped a beat. ’She’s just given birth and she’s already this restless.’ He chuckled helplessly. "I’ll go check on the baby, so they don’t wake you up."

Sang Luo gave a lazy hum of agreement and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Si Ye tucked the covers in around her, then left the room holding the baby.

Little Zhenzhen tried to burrow under her mother’s covers but was scooped up by the scruff of her neck by her father and carried away as well. "Your mother is exhausted. Don’t disturb her rest."

"AWOO!"

’Daddy’s mean!’

...

Sang Luo did not sleep peacefully.

Her eyes were shut tight and her brow was furrowed. A cold sweat beaded on her forehead, dampening her hair.

In her dream, she was in an endless darkness. The air was stuffy and thick, making it almost impossible to breathe.

RUMBLE—

It was like the snoring of the heavens and the earth, a thunderous sound that made her eardrums ache.

Suddenly, another gust of hot, violent wind swept in, nearly sending her flying!

Only then did Sang Luo realize there was a "colossus" crouching beside her.

The pitch-black beast blended into the surrounding space, its form shrouded by countless wisps of black mist, making its face impossible to see.

But when Sang Luo focused her eyes again, the pitch-black beast vanished like a cloud of smoke, as if it had been a hallucination...

"Ugh!"

A sharp pain suddenly seized her heart.

Sang Luo jolted awake.

"Luoluo, did you have a nightmare?" Si Ye sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her with concern as he wiped the cold sweat from her forehead with a towel.

He hadn’t dared to wake her.

Sang Luo nodded weakly. When she tried to recall the dream, she couldn’t remember any of the details.

But the suffocating panic, the helpless feeling of being lost somewhere with no way out... the sense of being abandoned by the world... it left Sang Luo breathless even after she woke up.

Si Ye wrapped his arms around her, patting her back soothingly. "Don’t be scared, Luoluo. Dreams are the opposite of reality. I’ll always be by your side. Let all the demons and monsters scatter."

A faint smile touched Sang Luo’s lips, but the unknown nightmare still left her feeling deeply unsettled.

"I’m not worried about myself, I’m worried about you and the children." Sang Luo rested her chin on his shoulder and nuzzled against him. "I have the Time Talent, but I hope I never have to use it on us."

"If we truly face a death tribulation, then that is our fate. You’re not allowed to do anything foolish again," Si Ye said, his tone exceptionally serious.

"You know how I am. I can be impulsive and single-minded."

"..." Si Ye released Sang Luo and flicked her on the forehead. "Silly Luoluo," he sighed.

’What other female would be so completely devoted to her mate?’ 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

’Putting herself in danger time and time again.’

And yet, a warmth bloomed at the corners of the young man’s lips.

"In any case, your own life is what’s most important. You can be impulsive, but don’t do anything reckless."

"I know~" ’I’m not stupid enough to just throw my life away.’

Suddenly, the color drained from Sang Luo’s face. She threw back the covers to look at the fox mark on her right thigh. It had dimmed for an instant.

Looking inward, she saw that her other two soul marks, the Angel Mark and the Phoenix Mark, had also dimmed.

Just as Sang Luo’s mind began to race with grim speculations, the three soul marks returned to normal. The entire process had lasted only a few seconds.

’What happened to those three?’

As if sensing her unease, Yan quickly sent a soul transmission.

[Don’t worry. We just passed through some spatial-temporal turbulence, but we’ve landed safely.]

[Where did you go?]

[The Ghost Realm.]

Sang Luo wanted to ask for more information, but the connection went silent.

The soul marks were stable, so she could only set her worries aside for the moment. ’With Yan there,’ she thought, ’the three of them must have gone fully prepared. They should be fine.’

「One month later」

Sang Luo and Si Ye returned to the Bian Clan Land to hold a full-moon celebration for their son.

Sang Luo hadn’t been back in a long time, and Si Jing had missed her terribly. He not only threw a full-moon celebration for his grand-nephew, but also held a separate welcome feast just for her.

After the feast, the Clan Leader asked her to stay for a few more days. Sang Luo found it hard to refuse his hospitality, so she ended up staying in the Bian Clan Land for over half a month longer.

Sang Luo then did a tour, staying in the territories of each of her Beast Husbands. Several months later, she returned to the North Continent.

"Where are Little Hetao and Zhuizui?" The courtyard was devoid of the little Wolf Pup’s rowdiness, and the silence was almost unsettling.

"Zhi Xin is fond of Little Hetao, so Zhuizui took the kid over to her place to play. They probably won’t be back for a few days."

Sang Luo snuggled into his embrace. The mention of Little Hetao reminded her of something else.

She sighed. "Little Hetao’s birth mother is a pitiable case, too. A young, vibrant life, almost lost."

She had foreseen that You Hua would try to drown herself in the lake and had rushed over to save her. Otherwise, it would have weighed heavily on her conscience.

Sang Luo asked Lan Cang, "Are you really not going to tell Zhuizui about this?"

Lan Cang knew what she meant and shook his head. "You’ve seen Zhuizui’s attitude. He doesn’t like the girl. There’s no need to force them together just for the child’s sake."

"...That’s true. A marriage without love is worse than none at all. If they tried to make it work for the child’s sake, it would only bring misery to both them and the child. Parting ways for good might actually be the best outcome." Sang Luo shook her head with a soft sigh. "That girl was so foolish, so crazy. To throw her life away for someone who didn’t love her back... It just wasn’t worth it."

After rescuing You Hua, Sang Luo had erased her memories of Lanyun and her child, weaving a new set of memories to fill the void.

Sang Luo had also given her a new identity and sent her far away to start a new life, providing her with enough Beast Crystals and restorative supplements to live comfortably for the rest of her days. Hopefully, the girl would live well from now on.

’Live for herself.’
