Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 517 - 456: Mission Accomplished

"Mommy! Daddy! Where did you go? Why didn’t you take me and brother with you!"

Sang Luo and Fei Yuan had just returned to the Phoenix Palace when Little Lucky Star came flying over in a hurry.

Her Phoenix Body was no longer small, so she couldn’t be held by her mother like when she was a child. She landed on the ground and transformed into a little girl of about four or five.

She had a head of curly, reddish-black hair. Her proud, noble eyes looked very much like her father’s, sharing the same striking beauty, but her demeanor was quite calm and steady.

Little Lucky Star was no longer the sickly child she once was. When she was in Sang Luo’s womb, her brother had nearly devoured her. After she was born, she was malnourished, even skinnier and weaker than him. To nurse his daughter back to health, Fei Yuan had busied himself searching far and wide for all sorts of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures and nourishing Holy Products, slowly building up her strength.

A little boy of about the same age emerged from behind Little Lucky Star.

The siblings looked remarkably similar. The little Phoenix, her brother, had long, curly red hair. When he was little, he had been so chubby that he looked like a small furball in one’s palm, so Sang Luo had jokingly given him the nickname "Little Fatty Ball." Unexpectedly, he had slimmed down as he grew, and his handsome eyes now held a lazy air, as if he couldn’t be bothered with much of anything.

Only when he saw his parents return did a smile appear on his little face.

"Mommy, Daddy, you’re finally back! Uncle Ah Ye and the others couldn’t reach you. They thought something had happened!"

"Don’t worry. With your daddy here, what could possibly happen to me?" Sang Luo patted both children on the head and asked, "While we were away, did my darlings Little Lucky Star and Little Song study hard?"

Fei Yuan had named the two children: his daughter was Fei Shijin, and his son was Sang Huaisong.

One took the father’s surname, the other took the mother’s.

He was clearly a doting father to his daughter.

’The little Phoenix brother hated it most when people called him Little Fatty Ball. He wasn’t fat anymore, okay?!’

’He was so handsome; one day, he’d surely become the most beautiful male Phoenix in the entire Phoenix Clan! Even more beautiful than his dad! Hmph! He’d get mad at anyone who dared to call him Little Fatty Ball again!’

Sang Luo blamed his father for the nickname, and Fei Yuan, the scapegoat Phoenix, could only accept it, changing his poor son’s nickname to Little Song.

The two Little Phoenixes’ innate talent was extraordinary; they were atavistic Ancient Fire Phoenixes. Their growth was extremely slow. More than five hundred years had passed, yet they were still just little cubs who had only recently learned the Transformation Technique.

Little Lucky Star said proudly, "I finished all the homework Daddy left before you went away, and I’ve corrected all my mistakes!"

Little Song, feeling a bit guilty, said in his small, childish voice, "I... I’m almost done, too! There’s just a little bit left!"

Sang Luo said, "I’ll go check your homework in a little while. Whoever did a better job gets a reward that I brought back from another world."

Little Lucky Star was overjoyed. "Brother hasn’t even started his homework! Mommy, you can just give the reward directly to me!"

’Little Song was filled with regret!’

’If he had known Mommy brought presents, he wouldn’t have overslept. He definitely would have gotten up and finished his homework!’

"I also bought you some gifts," Fei Yuan said with a cheerful laugh, taking out two Qiankun Bags for the children.

Little Lucky Star said sweetly, "Thank you, Daddy!"

Fei Yuan picked up his daughter and gave her a smiling kiss on the cheek. ’Daughters really are the sweetest,’ he thought.

Little Song quickly chimed in, "Daddy is the best! I want a present too!"

Sang Luo’s brows shot up. "Oh? So I’m not good to you?"

"No, no, Mommy is the best to me! I like you the most!" Little Song quickly changed his tune, throwing himself into Sang Luo’s arms. He nuzzled his little face against her belly, his voice becoming incredibly soft and sweet.

’Little Lucky Star secretly rolled her eyes. ’What a suck-up,’ she thought. ’To outsiders, Brother acts so proper, but he’s actually better at acting cute than I am! Otherwise, with how lazy and sly he is, Mom and Dad would have spanked him ages ago!’’

Once the two children had run off to play with their gifts, Sang Luo’s smile faded. She looked at Fei Yuan. "What do I need to do? Yan’s Divine Power is still inside my body."

"Yes, his soul has been recovered, but I need to extract his Divine Power from your body, Luo’er," Fei Yuan said hesitantly.

Sang Luo understood. "Go ahead and take the Divine Power out. It never belonged to me in the first place, and I can’t wield its true strength anyway. Besides, it has helped me a great deal, and I no longer need it."

"Alright. The process will be a little painful. If... if it hurts too much, you can bite my arm." Fei Yuan’s power materialized into hundreds of sharp needles that pierced the acupoints of her body.

Sang Luo opened her mouth and bit down on his arm.

The muscles in Fei Yuan’s arm tensed and bulged before slowly relaxing, becoming soft again. He gently patted her back to soothe her.

It was over quickly.

The Divine Power transformed into an Energy Crystal Core that shimmered with a magnificent, divine radiance.

After the soul merged with the Energy Crystal Core, they transformed into a dazzling stream of light and vanished into the void.

With the powerful, surging Divine Power suddenly extracted from her, Sang Luo’s body went weak for a moment. Fei Yuan quickly caught her and carried her to the bed to rest. "With the power gone so abruptly, your body will need some time to adjust. I’ll brew some restorative tonics for you over the next few days."

"But Yan..."

"He is an Ancient Divine Beast. He can be formed from the essence of heaven and earth. Once his physical form is reshaped, he will be able to return."

"I see." Sang Luo felt relieved and carefree. "In that case, I suppose I don’t owe him anything anymore."

Fei Yuan smiled. "You really hate being indebted to others, don’t you?"

"Sigh... I finally understand the concept of karma now. You really can’t go around owing favors!" Sang Luo recalled her experiences in the Mortal World, which flashed through her mind like fleeting shadows. She asked guiltily, "When Yan returns, he won’t hold a grudge against me, will he?"

Yun Hua had seen through the Third Prince’s scheme, but was poisoned by the woman he loved.

All that trust and sincerity, wasted just like that!

She felt rather ashamed just thinking about it.

Fei Yuan shook his head. "A reincarnation and the original self can’t be considered the same person. If anything, Yan should thank you. If you hadn’t interfered, he might never have been able to return."

Sang Luo rubbed her belly. "I’ve been pregnant with this little fox kit for several hundred years. I wonder if it’s a boy or a girl. It hasn’t caused me much trouble, though."

"This baby is very well-behaved. Perhaps it’s afraid of tiring you out. The pregnancy has been long, but it’s also been the easiest one." Fei Yuan took out some essential oil. "Luo’er, release the Transformation Technique. Let me help you with some oil and a massage to help you relax."

Sang Luo sighed. "Being this pregnant for so long... it’s not a pretty sight. It irritates me just looking at it."

Fei Yuan smiled. "You don’t need to hide it. You’re absolutely beautiful!"

"...You’re just good at sweet-talking." Sang Luo couldn’t help but laugh. She did as he said and released the Transformation Technique. Her belly swelled up like a ball, and she sighed again at the sight of it.

Fei Yuan stroked her belly fondly. "I truly think you’re beautiful."

’Of course, it would be even more beautiful if she were pregnant with *his* child!’

After he finished applying the oil for Sang Luo, Fei Yuan brewed a bowl of fetus-preserving medicine and a restorative tonic, then checked her condition one more time.

Despite everything that had happened, both she and the baby were perfectly healthy. The protective power Yan had left behind was indeed watching over her and the child.

"Three years and five months until the birth," Fei Yuan told Sang Luo.

Sang Luo nodded and looked out the window. "I hope Yan can make it back in time for the birth..."
