Chapter 43: Honey, someone wants to harm your child!

Sang Luo reached out to cover her stomach, shrinking back towards the head of the bed, "…I'm pregnant now, don't mess around!"

"I'm not that desperate to lay a hand on a pregnant female." Duo Tu glared at her with resentment. What kind of beast did she take him for?

He was tall and slender, with large hands. One palm easily pinned down both of Sang Luo's legs. The smooth, soft touch made Duo Tu reluctant to let go, and he couldn't help but caress them a few more times.

Sang Luo's face flushed red. "You say you don't have ulterior motives towards me, but what… what are you doing?"

"Hmm? Massaging your legs."

Duo Tu sat on the edge of the bed, kneading her thighs with one hand, not too hard, not too soft, his eyes clear and his technique skilled.

His loosely tied bathrobe, which he hadn't bothered to fasten properly, slipped down a little further with the movement, revealing most of his fair, delicate, strong, and broad shoulders. Bathed in the moonlight from the floor-to-ceiling window, his golden curls, high nose, deep-set eyes, and petal-like lips made his angular, handsome face appear much softer and more alluring.

…Alright, this man's leg massage is quite comfortable. Sang Luo resisted for a moment, then gave in, lying on the bed and letting him serve her, letting out a comfortable moan.

"Mmm~"

Duo Tu paused slightly, but his hand applied even more force, the soft flesh of her thighs slightly overflowing from his palm.

Sang Luo felt a slight pain and looked at him with charming eyes, "Does the gene project have to continue?"

Duo Tu stared at her intently, his Adam's apple bobbing as he smiled and said, "If you give me an heir with good talent, once I'm in that position, I can do whatever I want."

Hearing this, Sang Luo rolled over and went to the inside of the bed, not wanting to pay attention to him.

Duo Tu leaned over, reaching out to stroke her smooth, long hair, "Seriously, if this child you're carrying has good talent, give me one too. I quite like you."

He was eyeing her fertility, not liking her as a person. Sang Luo rolled her eyes.

Seeing that she hadn't replied for a long time, Duo Tu pinched her face and saw that she had already fallen asleep.

…Heh, she's really not afraid that he'll do something to her.

Duo Tu didn't even trust his own character that much.

"Crap." He quickly turned Sang Luo over again. Really, she wasn't even afraid of squashing her stomach!

Sang Luo woke up the next day to find that Duo Tu had already left the palace. Servants had prepared food and were attending to her grooming.

The wardrobe was filled with many well-tailored, luxuriously-clothed court-style dresses.

As an imperial prince, Duo Tu must have had many female companions from noble families. Sang Luo wouldn't be narcissistic enough to think that these were specially prepared for her.

After finishing her meal, not long after, news came from the palace—the Beast King had revoked Sang Luo's eligibility for the competition.

At the same time, Sophie Arsate was placed under house arrest.

Sang Luo could roughly guess who had framed her these past few days.

In the evening, Duo Tu returned from the palace. Sang Luo said, "Caesar will definitely thank you properly when he comes back."

Duo Tu's eyes darkened. He stepped forward, pinching her exquisitely beautiful and innocent face, and approached her fragrant, rosy lips. Just when Sang Luo thought he was about to kiss her, he let go, chuckling in amusement.

"Don't get your gratitude misplaced. Caesar and I aren't that close. I specifically pleaded with my father for you. If you want to repay, you should repay me."

"Then what kind of repayment do you want?"

"I said it last night. If this child has good talent, the next one… I want it!" he said ambiguously.

She could bear Caesar's offspring, so she could definitely bear his too!

Fine, so she was just a child-bearing tool. Coincidentally, Sang Luo had also taken a fancy to Duo Tu's talent. Both sides getting what they needed, it was worth considering.

Sang Luo hooked his belt, her jade-white fingertips gently stroking it. She looked up at him, her charming eyes captivating, "See how you perform~"

Duo Tu's breathing stagnated, and his ear tips quickly flushed red. He couldn't regain his senses for a long time after Sang Luo left.

Suppressing the desires in his heart, she was truly a captivating beauty.

Manor.

Sang Luo sat on a wisteria chair in the backyard, lazily basking in the sun. After becoming pregnant, besides sleeping, eating, and drinking, her only hobby was to pick a good day to sunbathe.

She fell asleep while sunbathing.

Unknowingly, it became evening.

A tall man in a black and gold python-patterned robe appeared. He frowned upon seeing her and reached out to carry her into the house.

Sang Luo woke up as soon as she smelled that familiar, long-lost cold fragrance. She reached out and hooked Caesar's neck, nuzzling him affectionately, "You're finally back!"

"Did you miss me?"

"Hmph, I didn't miss you. If you didn't come back, your child would have starved to death!"

Caesar had arrived right on time on the evening of the seventh day, rushing back.

Sang Luo noticed that his usually well-groomed, soft, long hair looked a little rough and messy, and there was a faint layer of darkness under his eyes. She knew that he had been hunting star beasts day and night for the past few days, without stopping to rest.

Caesar hugged her guiltily, then quickly loosened his grip a little, looking down at her stomach, which was rounder than before he left. It seemed that her due date was sooner than expected. His voice was full of concern, "It's all my fault for not being able to get back sooner… How have you been these days? Have you been uncomfortable? Has the baby been giving you trouble?"

"This nest of cubs has been quite stable all along, not causing much trouble. It seems like it's an egg." Seeing the dark circles under his eyes, Sang Luo felt nothing but heartache. She leaned in and kissed him, "Thank you for your hard work, Daddy of the cubs."

Caesar's heart was as sweet as honey, and he said in a deep, husky voice, "Sang Sang, I should be thanking you for carrying my child and going through so much hardship."

He quickly took out all the spoils from his space, "Eat quickly, don't let the child go hungry."

Sang Luo looked at the countless crystals floating in the air, her mouth almost watering. So many beast crystals. She had never seen so many beast crystals in her life.

There were countless crystals of various grades.

There were at least a thousand purple crystals.

The translucent beast crystals could only be possessed by King-tier star beasts.

She roughly counted, nearly a hundred King-tier beast crystals!

Caesar had killed hundreds of King-tier star beasts in these short seven days?!

No wonder he was so tired this time when he came back.

"You, you don't need to work so hard. It's okay if I eat a little less."

Caesar immediately became angry, "That's what females say to comfort the most useless male beast."

If he couldn't even feed his partner and child, then he shouldn't be the King Beast.

Sang Luo quickly closed her mouth sheepishly. Caesar urged her to eat quickly.

Sang Luo didn't stand on ceremony and swallowed several King-tier crystals. Her binge eating these days was finally stopped. It was the first time she had eaten so full, and her body felt warm and extremely comfortable.

Sang Luo hesitated, "There's something I don't know if I should tell you…"

"Is there anything you can't tell me?"

"Your child was almost killed."

Caesar's face suddenly turned cold and extremely ugly, "Who dares to harm you!"

"Someone poisoned me a few days ago. It can cause pregnant females to miscarry, and in severe cases, even lead to the death of both mother and child. I'm not sure who did it…"

"Alright, I understand." Caesar lowered his head and kissed her forehead. Then, he disappeared.

Sang Luo knew that he had used his mental power to thoroughly investigate the entire city. The importance that a King Beast places on its offspring is unimaginable to ordinary people.

The next day, news came from the palace that the princess had died suddenly.

The Beast King's palace was in chaos.
