After dealing with the assassins lurking on the cruise ship, Caesar sensed a few stray individuals heading towards Sang Luo's room. His heart tightened, and he raised his hand to act, but then he saw another figure rushing in ahead of him, eliminating the black-clad men.

He paused his movement and lowered his hand, his expression blank. He teleported away.

...

"Luo Luo, I missed you so much, I-I really missed you..."

Lan Cang, unable to suppress his emotions of rediscovering what he had lost, hugged the person in his arms tightly, as if wanting to freeze time forever, forcibly suppressing his sobs. "They said you were captured by stray beasts, I thought you were dead..."

More than two months ago, he had traveled from the ruins of the Kordor tribe, across dozens of tribes in the surrounding area, before finally finding the new tribe's settlement. From the tribesmen, he heard that Sang Luo had been captured by stray beasts.

Female beasts captured by stray beasts usually had only one fate.

He frantically killed all the stray beasts in the vicinity, but still couldn't find her...

At that moment, his heart died with her, and he even wanted to leave with her.

"I'm really happy to see you're still alive."

Looking at the familiar, cold, and handsome face, Sang Luo's eyes also became moist. A thousand words welled up, but at this moment, she couldn't say a word except to hug him tightly.

She had thought that the two of them would never have the chance to meet again in this lifetime.

She told Caesar that she had let go, but after all, this was a man she had truly loved. How could she forget him so easily?

Sang Luo gently stroked the man's face. They had only been separated for a few months, but Lan Cang was more mature and weathered than before, and also thinner, which made her feel a little distressed.

Sang Luo gently patted his back, "Knowing that you're doing well, I'm relieved—ouch, easy..."

"You're pregnant?"

Sang Luo was wearing a maternity dress that didn't show her pregnancy, but when Lan Cang hugged her, he could clearly feel the curve of her abdomen. He quickly and carefully released her, fearing that he might accidentally hurt her.

"Yeah, I just got pregnant a few days ago, it's only been a little over half a month," Sang Luo said, touching her belly.

Lan Cang moved his lips, but said nothing. After a long while, he lowered his head and rummaged in his pocket, but couldn't find anything useful. He looked embarrassed, "I didn't expect to meet you when I came this time, and I didn't bring anything to give to you and the child, I'm sorry."

"You took care of me enough before, what's there to be sorry about? I'm the one who owes you a thank you," Sang Luo said with a smile, shaking her head.

Lan Cang pursed his lips, and once again looked down at her slightly protruding abdomen. He was silent for a moment, then asked,

"The child in your belly... is it his? Right?"

He had seen that King Beast, handsome and powerful, very good to her, his eyes full of her.

He felt inferior.

"Yes."

Lan Cang wanted to touch her head like before, but the hand he raised curled up and then lowered. He smiled with relief, "I knew that with Luo Luo's charm, even the most powerful male beast would be conquered."

With her conditions, she wouldn't find someone bad, and only a King Beast was worthy of her.

How could Sang Luo not see the regret and sadness in his eyes, but she didn't know what to say. Lan Cang whispered, "Can I... touch it?"

"Of course," she said, reaching for his hand.

"No, my, my hands are dirty, there's blood."

Lan Cang rarely felt so flustered. He wiped his hands on his clothes before excitedly and carefully touching her belly. Perhaps it was because the month was still young, it was very quiet and didn't move much, but he could feel the faint energy fluctuations emanating from it. He said sincerely, "It's growing very healthy."

As he looked at it, he became a little lost in thought. "If we had a child..."

He only murmured a few words. Sang Luo didn't hear what he said clearly. She looked up at his slender, exposed neck. "Why didn't you bring a suppressor ring?"

Suppressor rings can suppress the beastman's gene frenzy. During the last beast tide, Lan Cang's frenzy broke out again. The old suppressor ring was probably broken, but he didn't replace it with a new one, but the frenzy was greatly suppressed.

Only a female can give a male gene soothing.

Lan Cang had another female by his side.

"Did you find a new partner?" Sang Luo asked.

Lan Cang stared at her, his Adam's apple bobbing. "Do you want me to find one?"

To be honest, Sang Luo always felt guilty towards Lan Cang. She had originally said that she would give birth to a litter of wolf cubs for him, but unexpectedly, she became pregnant with someone else's cub. What man could accept that?

But a King Beast like Caesar was proud and arrogant, and would never deign to share a partner with other male beasts, especially since Lan Cang's strength was below the King rank.

In the beast world, it was normal for one female to have multiple males, but the premise was that the strength between the partners could not be too different, otherwise the stronger male beast would feel insulted, and the weaker one would be more easily framed and killed in secret. Even if they were really together in the future, Caesar would probably make things difficult for Lan Cang.

Sang Luo didn't want Lan Cang to live so humbly because of her, completely losing the pride he deserved.

He was so good, he should have a partner who loved him wholeheartedly.

And Sang Luo wanted to go back, and there would be no shortage of male beasts around her. She could no longer give Lan Cang wholehearted love.

Sang Luo nodded, "As long as you can be happy, I naturally hope so."

Lan Cang saw the relief in her eyes and understood everything. He curled his lips into an awkward smile and said in a low voice, "I went to the female shelter."

"..." Sang Luo was stunned.

Lan Cang smiled, "Do you嫌弃me for being dirty?"

"No."

"Then, can you let me hug you one more time?"

Sang Luo took the initiative to hug him.

He buried his head in her neck, his voice muffled and broken, "Luo Luo, I really planned to abandon this identity before, find a place where no one knew me, and live a peaceful life with you..."

Sang Luo didn't know what expression the man had. Her shoulder was suddenly scalded, as if it had burned into her heart, and a faint, damp heat spread out...

A drop of tear fell on the back of her neck.

"Sang Sang, the assassins have all been dealt with. I didn't find you in the room just now, so I took the liberty of coming to find you. I hope I didn't disturb you."

A clear and gentle voice sounded.

At the same time, a tall and slender figure appeared on the deck of the cruise ship. Caesar smiled at her, extremely gentle. As for the male beast next to her... he didn't even look at him, purely treating him as air.

Sang Luo had sensed Caesar's aura long ago. He deliberately didn't take action just now, in order to give her and Lan Cang a chance to meet... more accurately, a chance to say goodbye completely.

Caesar had also promised her before.

She didn't know how long he had been secretly watching.

Originally, Caesar didn't plan to show himself, but the atmosphere between the two made him feel a sense of crisis, and he couldn't tolerate it any longer.

Lan Cang took the initiative to let go of Sang Luo, took two steps back, and looked at the dark and cloudy sky. "It's going to rain soon, you should go back."

Caesar walked over, took her hand and squeezed it, and said with a smile, "You should rest."

Hearing him say that, Sang Luo really did feel a bit sleepy. She took one last deep look at Lan Cang before following Caesar back to their room.

The two of them were truly a case of being close, yet ultimately apart.

Soon, rain began to fall.

Lan Cang's entire body was soaked by the cold rain, yet he remained motionless. He stared blankly at his hands, his breathing uncontrollably shaky.

A beastman, having shed his disguise, cautiously approached.

Asa wasn't part of the organization; Lan Cang had simply saved him in the past. Since then, he had been working for Lan Cang, risking his life. He was a space-traveling beastman, and they often partnered on missions. It was impossible for that King Beast not to have noticed him, but he hadn't attacked him.

Asa had been by Lan Cang's side for so many years, and it was the first time he'd seen him so despondent. He whispered, "Boss, you clearly like that little female, so why did you lie to her...?"

Each beastman can only use an suppression ring once; using it again is useless. More than two months ago, Lan Cang's berserk value reached over 80, teetering between consciousness and losing control, unable to freely transform into human form.

Yet, he refused to accept other females, resorting to using that semi-finished enhanced suppressant, lowering his berserk value by damaging his bodily functions.

Asa didn't understand. Hadn't Lan Cang done all this for that little female?

Now that the two of them had finally met, why did he deny it outright?

"She has someone else in her heart, and besides, I'm no longer worthy of her." Seeing the level of the beastman now standing beside Sang Luo, Lan Cang knew he was no longer qualified to have her.

And his current identity... a rebel, a wanted criminal, with so many lives on his hands. Being with him would only bring her suffering and implication. His appearance would also bring trouble to her current life.

He couldn't drag her down.

What's more, she was pregnant, with that King Beast's offspring...

He knew he had become a thing of the past.

"I hadn't intended to keep you alive, but you do have some self-awareness."

Caesar appeared at some point. The area centered around the three of them was completely sealed off by an invisible spatial force, preventing outsiders from seeing what was happening inside.

Asa was instantly terrified, pulling Lan Cang, wanting to run, only to discover that spatial teleportation couldn't be used within this sealed space!

"Boom!"

The power of a King-tier swept out, sending both of them flying several meters. Lan Cang lay on the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, slowly clenching his fists. At this moment, he truly realized the power gap between himself and the King Beast, a chasm as wide as the sky!

He didn't even have the strength to resist.

Caesar glanced at him indifferently. "You and I are simply not on the same level."

"...Just kill me!"

"I don't want to make her sad." Caesar retracted his hand. "I won't kill you this time for Sang Sang's sake. She cares about you, and I don't want her to be upset or for you, an inferior beastman, to cause a rift between us. But next time we meet, I won't hold back."

"Heh, it seems Luo Luo still cares about me. If that's the case, my death would be worth it!" Lan Cang covered his chest and stood up from the ground, staring at Caesar. His desire to become stronger had never been so intense!

Caesar narrowed his eyes slightly. "I truly wish you would disappear forever."

Lan Cang gritted his teeth. "Within three years, if I haven't become a King Beast, I will never disturb her again!"

Caesar looked at him with the eyes of someone looking at a clown. "An inferior male beast, you are not qualified to negotiate with me."

"Then let's make a bet. You not killing me now will be something you regret in the future."

Caesar's indifferent expression finally cracked slightly. Was this wolf beast deliberately provoking him, trying to get him to kill him?

Once Lan Cang truly died, he would become irreplaceable in Sang Luo's heart, forever becoming the moon on the sea, the person in her heart she could never forget.

He would always be between them.

"I said, I won't kill you." Caesar removed the spatial barrier. "In that case, I also want to see if you truly have the qualifications to stand beside her."

Asa quickly grabbed Lan Cang, and the two figures disappeared.

Sang Luo didn't know that this would be the last time she saw Lan Cang in the Western Continent.

......

Caesar returned to the room and saw Sang Luo pouring herself a glass of wine. He frowned, quickly walked forward, snatched the wine from her hand, and drank it all in one gulp.

"You can't drink alcohol right now; it's not good for the baby."

Sang Luo answered irrelevantly, "Did he leave?"

"Yes."

"..." The past affection and tenderness resurfaced before her eyes. How could a heart of flesh easily let go?

Sang Luo was someone who liked to cut through the mess quickly and didn't like tangled, chaotic emotions. Lan Cang had already slept with another female, so what was there for her to miss!

Summoning her courage, she pulled Caesar over, attempting to use even more fervent and intense passion to dilute the old feelings. "I want your beast form! I want it now!"

Caesar's pupils shrank suddenly, and his breathing became noticeably heavy. He pulled her hand down and said in a hoarse voice,

"No."

Sang Luo reached out and hooked his neck, kissing his lips, her eyes full of captivating charm. "Can you really resist?"

Caesar gripped her hand tightly, his Adam's apple bobbing intensely. It had been almost a month since he had touched her; how could he not want to? He wanted her so badly he was going crazy, but... He glanced down at her abdomen, and his desire instantly receded. "I'll make it up to you after the baby is born."

"I asked the doctor. Your power can also nourish the fetus. Not only will nothing happen, but it will also make this baby stronger." She had already begun to take off his clothes.

Caesar simply couldn't refuse.

"I'll be careful."

At that moment of deep passion, she stroked his face,

"...Caesar, will you leave me?"

"I will never leave you."

He lowered his head and bit down on her, on her chest, near her heart.

When she woke up the next day, Sang Luo found a purple serpent-like totem on her left chest, near her heart.

Caesar gently kissed it and said to her that this was the soul mark that only a King Beast could imprint.

It allowed them to sense each other's existence and safety, teleporting and summoning at any time. It could also withstand a fatal blow from a King-tier.

A King Beast can only forge a soul mark once in their lifetime.

Once a soul mark is offered, he will only ever have one partner in his life, unable to be moved by other females. If the partner leaves or dies, the King Beast's strength will plummet, and he will spend the rest of his life in melancholy, and may even commit extreme acts, such as dying for love...
