Chapter 74: Forever Lost Her

Doto felt a sudden, sharp pain in his heart, and then, his cultivation instantly plummeted from True King to the peak of Half-King!

“Luo Luo!” He didn't have time to care about the rapidly dissipating power within him, frantically teleporting back to the delivery room. The next second, the bouquet of purple irises in his hand scattered on the ground.

His eyes bloodshot, he stumbled to the bedside, only to embrace a person who had already stopped breathing.

The witch doctors were already in chaos.

“It always happens like this. She was fine right after giving birth…”

“It's postpartum hemorrhage!”

“Little Highness! Little Highness is fine!”

A witch doctor quickly brought the child over, but Doto didn't even glance at it. He tightly embraced Sang Luo, whose body was gradually turning cold, and wept bitterly,

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Luo Luo, I’m sorry…”

This child was something he had forced.

He couldn't explain anymore why he had wanted this child so badly. Perhaps it wasn't to consolidate power, but to keep her with him through this child, but instead, he had forever lost her.

In the Allance Empire, the Queen's death caused nationwide mourning.

It was said that the Queen had unexpectedly passed away after giving birth.

The preliminary investigation indicated postpartum hemorrhage.

However, the Queen's health indicators were all normal before giving birth. The Beast King ordered a thorough investigation, and a few days later, they found a clue: someone had bribed the witch doctor during the delivery to poison the Queen!

Further investigation revealed poisoned tea in the Queen's palace… The ultimate source pointed to Princess Brent's daughter!

Mashali Brent tried every means to deny it, but she was betrayed by the person beside her.

A white fox male beast accused Mashali Brent of secretly orchestrating everything, even pointing out that she had purchased the poison from the underground black market in Solo City.

The Beast King personally led people to seal off the black market, finding the bill for Mashali Brent's purchase of the poison. The truth was revealed: the Queen had been poisoned to death!

The Beast King was furious. Mashali Brent was executed on the spot, her female status unable to save her life. Upon hearing the news, Prince Brent launched a coup for his beloved daughter, only to be betrayed by his trusted aides and caught in a pre-arranged encirclement, his head taken.

At the same time, the Beast King listed Prince Brent's numerous crimes, along with the list of his collusion with various foreign forces, which were all made public. The Brent family, which had existed since the founding of the empire and had flourished for nearly a thousand years, was destroyed overnight, its hundreds of millions of assets confiscated into the national treasury, and an elite private army was incorporated into the Beast King's command.

The upheaval of the upper-class noble families became the subject of after-dinner jokes among ordinary people.

In taverns, the most discussed topic was the series of reforms implemented by the new Beast King in the short half-year since his ascension.

Repeatedly reforming people's livelihoods, rectifying corrupt nobles, suppressing rebel armies, and ordering the prohibition of gene female research, his methods were swift and decisive, his abilities far surpassing the previous Beast King.

“Boss, check out.”

A black-haired youth came to the counter to pay.

Compared to the towering beastmen in the tavern, who were easily over two meters tall, his figure appeared slightly thin and petite, like someone who hadn't yet come of age.

Several people glanced over, but quickly withdrew their gaze, continuing to drink, play finger-guessing games, and talk loudly.

Listening to the conversations of those beastmen, Sang Luo almost forgot to take the change the boss handed over. She spent most of her time in the palace and never knew that Doto had done so much in private.

He wasn't a good son, a good brother, or a good person, but he was undoubtedly an excellent ruler.

In the future, he should also be a good father.

The little lion cub would be well-raised under his care.

She could finally rest assured.

After Sang Luo had her fill, she found an inn to rest. Before falling asleep, she reviewed everything she had done before leaving the Beast King's palace.

Thanks to her second child, the little mermaid, and its cheap father, she still retained the ability to use [Clone] once, allowing her to create a clone and escape. However, Doto's cage mark was still in her body, and the clone would be easily detected.

But after Sang Luo gave birth to the second child, the little mermaid, she also gained two innate abilities:

[Water] [Infinite Transfer]

The second innate ability was very interesting. Theoretically, Sang Luo could transfer the cage mark to the clone.

However, the upper limit of the use of innate abilities largely depended on the level of cultivation.

Previously, she and Doto were separated by a large realm, making it impossible to cast. But after she gave birth to the little lion cub, her cultivation increased to the peak of Half-King, shortening the gap with Doto to only half a step. She had a 30% chance of success and could barely try.

It was all or nothing. If it really failed, then she would accept her fate.

Fortunately, it was finally successful.

It seemed that even the heavens wanted her to leave Doto.

But that alone wasn't enough.

Doto was cautious and cunning, with the same fault as his father: he was too suspicious.

She was fine before giving birth, and a sudden death would likely arouse his suspicion, and a thorough investigation might expose her.

Sang Luo took advantage of Mashali Brent's malice towards her to add another layer of insurance to her feigned death and escape.

The last time Sang Luo went to Mashali Brent's palace to rest, she secretly used her mental power to control the fox beastman, waiting for the event to succeed, and then had him stand up and accuse Mashali Brent of secretly poisoning her, leaving a legitimate cause of death, successfully escaping flawlessly.

Sang Luo stretched lazily, feeling incredibly relaxed. After resting for two days, she began to plan her next journey.

According to the information she had gathered for so long, these were the only two newborn King Beasts in the Western Continent. There was no value in staying any longer. She had to go to other continents to find her next upgrade target.

Sang Luo had once heard Kaiser say that the cultivation resources in the Eastern Continent were more abundant, and the strength and talent of the beastmen there should be stronger.

But before that, she wanted to find someone.

The only man she felt indebted to was him.

She wouldn't be returning to the Western Continent after this departure. Before leaving, she wanted to see how he was doing. He had sent so many beast crystals, and she should give something in return… Sang Luo thought of many reasons to see him, but they all seemed pale. She simply wanted to see him one more time.

Her true identity couldn't be used in the Allance Empire. Sang Luo randomly found an inconspicuous passerby on the road, used her mental power to control him and took some blood, transformed her appearance, and borrowed the name of Glenn Tuya, disguising herself as a school staff member on a home visit, going to Lan Ruo's home address recorded in the school files.

Upon arriving, she was surprised to learn that Lan Cang had already left the Western Continent and gone to the Northern Continent.

Sang Luo had never been to the Northern Continent. She had only heard the name of the Northern Continent in the world map and in some beastmen's idle chatter.

The Northern Continent was cold and harsh, sparsely populated by beastmen, but it occasionally produced amazing talents.

She planned to take a trip to the Northern Continent first.
