“You reek of smoke, stay away from me.” Sang Luo wrinkled her nose, utterly disliking the smell of smoke on him.

Duo Tu took off his coat, propped himself up on the headboard, and gently stroked her large belly with his other hand, smiling. “Are you feeling better? I’ve been a bit busy these past few days and haven’t had time to see you. Is Luo Luo blaming me?”

“It’s not easy to get a few days of rest, Your Majesty should focus on recovering from your injuries and not worry about me,” Sang Luo said with a touch of coquetry.

After refining the Soul Bone, her body felt fantastic.

On the other hand, Duo Tu was always busy with those tedious affairs of the court or dealing with ministers from various countries. He spent his nights reviewing documents and still had to find time to take care of her. This time, he was seriously injured and unconscious for more than half a month… Ever since he became the Beast King, she hadn’t seen him get a proper rest. It was a far cry from his carefree and纨绔 ways as a prince.

Being the Beast King isn’t easy. Sang Luo really wanted to ask him if he regretted it.

She could guess the answer of the man before her.

Never regretted it.

Only by ascending to the highest position could one obtain everything one desired.

His ambition was great.

If Duo Tu knew what she was thinking, he would probably force a wry smile. His ambition was great, but sometimes, it was very small. Small enough to only contain a home.

Sang Luo was carving a wooden figurine that was almost finished. Upon closer inspection, it bore a slight resemblance to her. Duo Tu raised an eyebrow and asked with a smile, “What’s this?”

“I was bored, so I carved a few figurines to play with. Your Majesty, aren’t my skills quite good?”

“It looks a lot like you,” he said earnestly. “It’s beautiful.”

“If Your Majesty doesn’t mind, I can carve one for you too~”

“Alright.” He didn’t refuse, his handsome and profound eyes revealing joy, looking very much expectant.

After finishing the one in her hand, Sang Luo asked A’Man to bring another piece of precious rosewood from the warehouse. She lowered her head slightly and carefully began to carve with a carving knife.

Duo Tu sat quietly beside her, his gaze fixed on Sang Luo. Her delicate and fair profile, her butterfly-like eyelashes fluttering from time to time, a few strands of black hair scattered on her shoulders, so soft that it made one’s palms itch to touch… He watched her intently.

Outside the window, the sun was setting. The piece in her hand was also finished. Sang Luo picked up the wooden figurine and showed it to him.

Amateur craftsmanship, decent but lacking in detail, but the carving did bear some resemblance, um, not bad!

Duo Tu accepted the wooden carving and then looked at the figurine in her hand, “Carve one for the child too.”

“It hasn’t been born yet, and I don’t know what it will look like.”

“After it’s born.”

“Hmm, we’ll see if there’s a chance later.” Sang Luo stretched and leaned into his arms, “Your Majesty, I’m sleepy.”

“I’ll apply the oil for you first, then you can sleep.”

Duo Tu laid her down gently on the bed, his movements extremely careful and tender. Sang Luo’s belly was now about the size of a normal woman’s when she was seven or eight months pregnant. In the Beast World, this was considered very large, close to the time of delivery.

Duo Tu, as usual, applied the olive oil for her and gently massaged her for a while. As he got up to leave, Sang Luo reached out and grabbed the man’s slender and beautiful hand, placing it on her belly.

“Your Majesty, I think I’m about to give birth.”

Duo Tu’s Adam’s apple bobbed, and he was visibly more nervous. “Yes, I heard the witch doctor say it should be this week… Stay in the palace and don’t go out. There’s no need to socialize with those noble females.”

“It’s not really socializing. They can’t wait to come and flatter me. It’s just that I’m bored in the house and want to go out and see the world. Your Majesty also knows that I’m a female from a small tribe. There are so many good things in the capital that I’ve never seen before.”

“There will be plenty of time in the future.” He looked at her with gentle and intoxicating eyes, whispering softly, “Luo Luo, after you give birth, I’ll have dealt with most of my affairs. I’ll take you out to play every day, okay?”

Sang Luo was silent for a moment, then called out softly, “Duo Tu…”

She rarely called him by his name anymore, always calling him Your Majesty, which also revealed the true relationship beneath the pretense of mutual respect. Duo Tu knew all this.

Hearing Sang Luo call his name after so long, Duo Tu was stunned for two seconds, unable to hide his joy, “Luo Luo, what’s wrong?”

Sang Luo only looked at him for two seconds, then smiled and said, “After the child is born, you must take good care of it, or I’ll be angry.”

“I will take good care of you and the child!”

… …

In a flash, seven days passed, and the day of delivery arrived.

Marjorie Brent, with certain intentions, originally wanted to come and pay a hypocritical visit, but she couldn’t even get through the door.

The entire Peach Blossom Haven was heavily guarded, surrounded by layers of protection.

All irrelevant outsiders and servants were kept outside the palace.

This situation was even more frightening than when the Beast King was injured!

Duo Tu was so nervous that he hadn’t slept well for several nights, staying with Sang Luo and constantly paying attention to her physical condition.

Sang Luo had been eating Beast Crystals since the morning. By late evening, she couldn’t eat anything anymore. She clutched her belly, feeling the little one struggling to get out.

“It’s about to be born.”

Sang Luo gasped slightly, gripping Duo Tu’s hand tightly. Sweat broke out on her pale face, and she forced a smile, seemingly embarrassed.

“Your Majesty, please go out first.”

Duo Tu’s breathing was heavy, and his eyes were red. “I’ll stay here with you!”

“We implore the Beast King to wait outside the hall first, otherwise it may cause tension in the pregnant female’s emotions, making childbirth even more difficult,” a witch doctor said.

No matter how worried Duo Tu was, upon hearing these words, he had no choice but to go out and wait.

He paced back and forth outside the hall, listening carefully to the movements inside, wishing he could press his entire body against the door.

Sang Luo watched the witch doctors busily preparing various things. Her mood was calm. She had given birth twice before, and was already accustomed to the various procedures. That hint of nervousness was quickly dispelled.

After waiting for about two or three hours, the movements in her belly became more and more intense, “Ah!” She grabbed the quilt in pain, the veins on the back of her hand bulging faintly.

Duo Tu’s expression changed drastically when he heard a sudden scream from the delivery room, and he almost rushed in.

“Luo Luo!”

Soon, a very weak voice came from inside the room, making people feel pity and heartache, “Your Majesty, I… I’m fine… Can you… pick a sprig of iris for me…?”

“Luo Luo, wait for me, I’ll be right back!”

Hearing the sound of movement disappearing at the door, Sang Luo withdrew her gaze and breathed a long sigh of relief.

She quickly activated her healing technique, and her body instantly recovered.

Sang Luo didn’t even have time to change her clothes. She got out of bed and looked at the witch doctors, who seemed to have lost their souls. They were all controlled by her mental power.

Sang Luo walked to one of the short, fat old witch doctors, took a syringe from the tray, and squeezed a little of the liquid out. This liquid was said to be for assisting her in childbirth, but in reality, it was a deadly poison that could kill her on the spot.

Sang Luo put the syringe back in its place, walked around the hall, and then returned to the bedside, gently picking up a small meatball that hadn’t opened its eyes yet from the blood-stained bedding.

It was actually a lion cub that hadn’t grown its fur yet.

Its skin was wrinkled, and it looked ugly.

It was a male lion cub.

Sang Luo couldn’t help but smile, “So it’s you little thing that’s been giving me so much trouble. You’ll definitely be very mischievous when you grow up!”

On the table by the bed was a basin of prepared warm water and a towel. Sang Luo wet the towel and wiped the lion cub clean.

But her fingers felt two bumps on its back.

Sang Luo was so frightened that she thought she had given birth to an unhealthy, deformed cub with two fleshy tumors. She quickly turned it over and carefully felt it, only to find that it was actually a pair of wing bones that hadn’t fully developed.

This lion cub was a veritable angel lion, born with the bloodline of the Angel race!

A look of surprise flashed across Sang Luo’s mind. Only now did she have time to internally inspect the two new talent energies that had appeared in her body.

[Nether Soul Truefire] [Image-Breaking Eye]

A flame appeared at her fingertips. The flame was no longer golden-red, but a semi-transparent, ghostly blue flame.

It must have been because she refined the Soul Bone during her pregnancy, which caused the Blazing Truefire to level up and become the Nether Soul Truefire.

Blazing Truefire could only burn physical entities and could not extinguish souls, while Nether Soul Truefire not only completely inherited the high destructive power of Blazing Truefire, but could even completely destroy the enemy’s body and soul! Reduced to ashes! This power was simply terrifying!

As for the Image-Breaking Eye, Sang Luo was temporarily unable to figure out this ability, but she initially guessed that it was also some kind of extremely rare special talent power, probably for breaking illusions.

This child’s talent is much stronger than its father’s!

Her realm also jumped to the peak of Half-King in one fell swoop, only one step away from stepping into True King.

Sang Luo wrapped the lion cub tightly in a clean little blanket, only revealing its pink little head. This was the first time Sang Luo had seriously looked at her own little beast cub, and her eyes unknowingly became moist. It would definitely be a very beautiful little lion when it grew up, but unfortunately, she probably wouldn’t have the chance to see it grow up…

She was about to leave.

In the final moments, Sang Luo held the lion cub, wanting to stay with it a little longer, but hearing the movement outside the door again, the smile on her face disappeared, becoming cold and disgusted, knowing that she had to leave.

Sang Luo could feel that the longer she and Duo Tu were together, the more entangled they became, and the deeper his obsession with her became.

She initially really thought that Duo Tu’s guarantee was real. Now that she thought about it, it was probably just a tactic he used to keep her.

Sang Luo didn’t think that he would really be willing to let her leave easily and completely clear things up after she gave birth to the child.

She had been feigning compliance with Duo Tu for so long, and she was already completely tired of it. Now, this was the best opportunity to make a clean break!

Sang Luo took one last look at the lion cub, kissed it on the head, and as she was about to let go, the lion cub suddenly trembled and moved, sticking out its little tongue and licking her face, making a soft, milky whimper.

Sang Luo’s heart trembled violently, and tears welled up in her eyes, but she quickly calmed her emotions and put it back on the bed.

She condensed her power into a blade, cut through the golden lion-shaped soul mark in her palm, and her figure disappeared…
