Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 490 - 429: Another Storyline

Lou Xianyue saw her stroking her belly with a lost expression and asked in confusion, "What’s wrong, Sang’er?"

Sang Luo asked, "Where’s the fox cub I was carrying?"

’Don’t tell me I was asleep for so long that I already gave birth?’

"Hm? What fox cub? You—you didn’t go and find another fox Beast Husband, did you?!"

His tone was tinged with resentment. ’Did she find another lover behind my back?’

Hearing that he wasn’t pretending, Sang Luo was dumbfounded. "The heir of the Nine-tailed Heavenly Fox. You’ve seen him, haven’t you?"

’I visited the Sea Palace often when I was pregnant. There’s no way Lou Xianyue wouldn’t know about this.’

Little Blue Eucalyptus also blinked in confusion, scratching his little head. "Mommy, are you pregnant with a fox cub? Is it a little brother or a little sister? How come I don’t know?"

He put his hands together and prayed, "I hope Mommy has a cute little fox sister. I like little sisters. It’s a pity she won’t be a Mermaid sister, though. Little Blue Eucalyptus doesn’t have a real little sister yet."

"..."

Sang Luo’s heart plummeted as if into an icy cellar.

’My Little Carp is gone?’

Her voice trembled, not daring to probe into the reality she feared most. "...Then do you know the Beast God High Priest? The Nine-tailed Fox High Priest of Qingqiu, Fei Yuan’s master?"

"And who is Fei Yuan?" Lou Xianyue frowned, his handsome face showing concern. He reached out to touch her forehead. "Sang’er, are you not feeling well? Or did you have a nightmare?"

Sang Luo looked utterly lost, staring at him blankly. Her appearance was even more frightening to see.

A thought seemed to strike Lou Xianyue. He pulled her into his arms, gently stroking her back to soothe her. "Lan Cang’s death anniversary just passed. I know you were heartbroken and you’ve been unconscious for several days. But Sang’er, people have to move on. His life had run its course. This was the best possible ending..."

"Cangcang... is dead?" Sang Luo’s mind went blank, making her seem unnaturally calm.

Lou Xianyue suspected she was so grief-stricken she had developed selective amnesia. His heart ached for her even more as he patiently explained, "He lived for over six hundred years. He should have had several hundred more, but unfortunately, a trace of a corrupting origin was hidden within his body. In the end, he couldn’t hold on."

Lan Cang was Sang’er’s first Beast Husband, so this had been a huge blow to her. Lou Xianyue watched her expression cautiously, afraid of upsetting her again.

Sang Luo took a deep breath, suppressing the bitterness in her heart. After a long moment, she spoke. "Ah Ze, I want to ask you something, and you have to tell me the truth."

"Okay, go ahead and ask."

"You really don’t know Fei Yuan, the Phoenix Emperor of the central East Continent?"

Lou Xianyue shook his head. "I don’t. However, speaking of the past Beast Emperors of the East Continent, I have heard some things. I heard the previous Beast Emperor was a mutant Profound Phoenix who possessed a Divine Bloodline. He should have become a mighty expert who stepped into the Venerable Realm, but for some reason, he died young. He passed away before I was even born. They say he was afflicted with a Poisonous Gu and was bedridden for many years. Some say it was murder, others say suicide..."

"Then who is the current Beast Emperor of the central East Continent?"

"That would be the Phoenix Emperor’s own nephew. He isn’t a member of the Phoenix Clan, but he possesses a Dual Beast Body."

"Before the Phoenix Emperor died, he personally issued a decree passing the throne to his younger brother. Unfortunately, neither of the brothers lived long. Later, his nephew took over the position of Central Beast Emperor. He reached the Peak of Beast Emperor at a young age, a feat that even I envy." Lou Xianyue sighed softly, clearly not well-acquainted with this new Beast Emperor.

"...Is his name Si Ye?"

"Oh, Sang’er, you know this Beast Emperor?" Lou Xianyue sounded a little jealous. "This Beast Emperor is already married, so don’t you go getting any ideas about him!"

"..."

"Sang’er, why don’t I take you to see Qi An to clear your head?"

"...And who is Qi An?"

"The Young Master of the Vulture-Griffin Clan. Didn’t you take him in? Don’t tell me you don’t even remember him?" Lou Xianyue’s silver-blue eyes went wide.

Sang Luo’s mind was a complete mess. She decided to calm down first and carefully figure out what exactly had happened.

Through her careful and deliberate questioning, she managed to get a clearer picture of many things.

The events Lou Xianyue described were vastly different from the experiences in her memory.

After "she" arrived on the East Continent, she never met Fei Yuan or Si Ye. "She" was solely focused on advancing her cultivation at the time, so she took several Pure-blooded Beast Husbands she didn’t know, and her progress was several hundred years slower than before.

Sang Luo also asked Lou Xianyue about Little Treasure, and just as she’d expected, he had no idea who Little Treasure was.

—In this timeline, she had never reconciled with Quan Jin.

Her worst nightmare had come true...

Sang Luo dazedly stroked her flat stomach. This journey through space-time had changed the original timeline.

’Yan was long gone. Did he die during the God Fall Period?’

’Did he and Ye Wushuang take each other down? Or did something else happen?’

Sang Luo had no way of knowing, but she could at least be certain that this was no longer the world she was familiar with.

But why?

’What step went wrong? What am I supposed to do now?’

"Sang’er?" Seeing her spacing out again, Lou Xianyue waved a hand in front of her eyes, his own filled with worry. "Are you really okay? Should we get a witch doctor to take a look? Perhaps your Divine Sense was injured."

"...Forget it. Just... help me find a witch doctor to take a look," Sang Luo said with a sigh, looking at his worried expression.

The witch doctor from the Sea Palace arrived quickly. An examination revealed nothing seriously wrong with her body, only that her Divine Soul was a little unstable and she needed to rest quietly for a few days. After writing out a prescription, the witch doctor left.

Lou Xianyue made a spread of delicious food to fill her stomach.

After she finished eating, Lou Xianyue sat beside Sang Luo and skillfully began to gently massage her temples, easing her weary thoughts.

Sang Luo rested her chin on her hand and thought for a moment before opening her eyes. "Ah Ze," she said, "I want to make a trip to the Holy Palace."

’Yan’s disappearance mainly affected the course of events on the East Continent.’

’Fei Yuan was afflicted by a Poisonous Gu in his youth, which is why he became Yan’s disciple to slow its spread. With Yan gone, the Poisonous Gu must have ravaged his body and mind, leading to his early death.’

’And through a bizarre twist of fate, Si Ye’s timeline changed as well. He had already married according to his family’s orders, and our paths had never crossed.’

’Minos’s timeline shouldn’t have changed much, right?’

’I still have the Power of Space-Time.’

Lou Xianyue looked troubled. "The Late Saint Monarch... he’s long gone, too."

What?

After the shock wore off, Sang Luo carefully recalled the matter of the Fallen God Angel. If it hadn’t been for Yan’s help, Minos would never have returned to her side.

To think that the disappearance of a single person could trigger so many changes...

Sang Luo had originally thought about just accepting her circumstances and adapting to this new timeline. But she never expected the changes to be so earth-shattering. So many of the Beast Husbands she had known and loved were gone, and her child had never even existed...

"Ah Ze, I’m sorry for making you worry for so long. But I have to leave again."

"Sang’er?" Lou Xianyue watched her with a nervous expression. She was standing right in front of him, perfectly fine, yet he felt as if she were as ethereal as a cloud, ready to be blown away by the wind. "Where are you going?"

"Back to where I’m supposed to be." Sang Luo turned, hugged him, and gave him a soft kiss on the cheek. Her eyes were gentle. "I’m so glad I got to see you, but... you aren’t my Ah Ze."

Lou Xianyue froze.

"I have to go back and find them." Sang Luo smiled at him, but her figure slowly began to turn transparent. "I also have to bring our little daughter back and deliver her to your side."

The person in his arms vanished, leaving Lou Xianyue grasping at empty air. He stared blankly down at his fingers. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

He whispered softly, "Daughter..."
