Chapter 148: Oblivion Water (Bonus Chapter)
Sang Luo also craved certain foods during her pregnancy.
Lou Xian Yue personally grilled meat for her.
He used the freshest star beast meat, freshly killed. King-tier star beast meat was rich in spiritual power, making it a rare spiritual material in itself. Although some spiritual power would be lost during grilling, the various seasonings made it taste exquisite. She could completely disregard that slight loss of spiritual power.
"It smells so good!" Sang Luo sat by the bonfire, smelling the tempting aroma of the meat, her mouth watering.
"I learned this from Lan Cang. He said you really like eating this." Lou Xian Yue usually eats raw food, so he only recently learned the skill of grilling meat.
"No wonder it smells so good! His skills have always been excellent!"
Grasping a female's stomach is equivalent to grasping her heart, Lou Xian Yue thought.
"It's grilled. Sang'er, try it and see how it tastes."
Sang Luo took the large beast leg that Lou Xian Yue handed her. It was grilled to a golden-brown, dripping with oil, and sprinkled with cumin, chili powder, and other seasonings. Just the smell alone told her how delicious it was!
One bite, and her mouth was filled with juices, her taste buds about to explode.
"Delicious, delicious… so spicy… so hot…"
"Eat slowly." Lou Xian Yue couldn't help but smile.
He took a large leaf from a tree, about the size of a banana leaf, and cut the remaining grilled meat into pieces for easy eating, handing them all to her.
"Sang'er is carrying a baby, eat more." Lou Xian Yue watched her happily eating large bites of meat. He originally didn't have much of an appetite, but she aroused his appetite, and he also ate a lot.
Lou Xian Yue also took out the prepared spiritual wine from his space ring and picked many spiritual fruits from nearby trees for her to cleanse her palate after eating the grilled meat.
After the two finished eating, it was getting late.
Sang Luo felt sleepy again.
The beastmen who came to the secret realm were very utilitarian and didn't have high demands for living conditions. When they were tired, they could just find an open space to spend the night. If they were afraid of being attacked by a beast tide, they would at most find a cave. Some teams would also build bonfires and tents on the plain, which was more comfortable to sleep in.
Lou Xian Yue, with Sang Luo, didn't want to cause trouble, so he wasn't too high-profile and followed the crowd in setting up a bonfire and tent.
The ground had fine sand and gravel, which was a bit uncomfortable.
He took out the fine cotton bedding he had prepared long ago and spread several layers on the ground, allowing Sang Luo to sleep comfortably, and took off his outer robe to cover her.
Sang Luo lay on the soft mattress, raised a slender leg, and placed it on his thigh. Lou Xian Yue immediately understood, gently pinching her leg and massaging her back.
She said with a smile, "If your subjects knew that the dignified Sea Emperor was secretly a henpecked husband…"
"Hmm? So what? My heart belongs to you and our child, Sang'er. When shall we have another baby?" Lou Xian Yue took advantage and acted obedient, lying on his side, embracing her waist, and looking down eagerly at her belly.
After giving birth to this one, she would be close to advancing to the peak of the King Beast tier and could bear offspring with him.
"Want a child?" Sang Luo hooked his delicate and beautiful chin.
"Yes! Preferably a female baby." Lou Xian Yue was extremely envious seeing Lan Cang holding his daughter all day long.
"This one isn't even born yet, let's talk about it after this one is born ~" Sang Luo yawned.
Seeing that Sang Luo was too sleepy to keep her eyes open, Lou Xian Yue wrapped his arms around her, letting her lean in his arms, and whispered close to her ear, "Sang'er, haven't you always wanted to hear me sing? I'll sing you to sleep, okay?"
"Hmm ~ okay."
His voice was originally clear and pleasant, and the siren's singing was even more psychedelic and enchanting. Sang Luo didn't understand the content of the siren song, but listening to the soothing murmur coming from his throat, she quickly fell into a sweet sleep…
…
For half a month, the days didn't change much. Sang Luo and Lou Xian Yue had been very successful along the way, hunting hundreds of King-tier star beasts, ranging from Half-King tier to peak King Beast tier, and they also picked up many rare natural treasures and two precious immortal herbs.
When passing through a dense forest, Sang Luo keenly sensed the aura of treasure. She searched with her mental power and discovered an unusual ancient tree.
It was dozens of meters tall, as if it wanted to crown the heavens and the earth. From a distance, it was light pink. Sang Luo thought it was the tree blooming, but upon closer inspection, she found that even the leaves were pink, mysterious throughout, and definitely not ordinary.
"What kind of tree is this?"
"The appearance of this ancient tree… I seem to have seen it in some ancient book." Lou Xian Yue recalled for a moment and said, "This is the Oblivion Tree."
Lou Xian Yue reached out and walked to the tree. His fingers instantly transformed into beast form, cutting off a thick layer of bark, revealing the milky-white texture inside. He took out a palm-sized porcelain bottle, took a full bottle of juice, which, after settling, was as clear as water.
"The juice taken from the Oblivion Tree is also called Oblivion Water. In the outside world, it is a priceless treasure."
"Oblivion Water… is that just a name, or…?"
"It does have the effect of forgetting emotions. If a beastman drinks this bottle of Oblivion Water, it can eliminate the deepest emotion in his heart." Lou Xian Yue twirled the porcelain bottle with his jade-white fingers. "Retaining memories, but the emotions dissipate, love and resentment both disappear. For a person, it is not known whether it is a punishment or a gift."
"… Can I have this bottle of Oblivion Water?"
Lou Xian Yue glanced at her and gave her the porcelain bottle.
Sang Luo silently put it into her space.
Lou Xian Yue said in a low voice, "It seems that Sang'er has encountered many unforgettable people and things again this time out. You can tell me about it."
"… Don't guess wildly, it's not for me to drink."
Lou Xian Yue took a step forward and gently stroked her eyebrows and eyes. "But your brow is furrowed, hiding worry and sorrow."
"…"
He lowered his head and gently kissed the corner of her eye, tasting a salty taste.
It was the first time he had seen her so sad. Who was she sad for?
"Sang'er, what happened?"
"I… I hurt a male's heart. I'm sorry to him."
"Is it that young marquis of the Bixi Clan?" As soon as she mentioned him, she didn't want to say more.
Sang Luo gave a soft "Mm" sound, "Si Ye wants a partner who is with him for life, one love for life, but I can't give it to him, and I even used tricks to take away his Yuan Yang. This child, I don't know if he still wants it now."
"So that's how it is." Lou Xian Yue sighed, able to empathize. If possible, which male beast would be willing to share a partner?
"Sang'er doesn't need to worry too much. He has his own choices. No matter what, you have conceived his precious offspring, which is very worthy of him." Lou Xian Yue said, "If he really doesn't want the child, you can give the child to me. I'll raise it. I don't care about these things."
Lou Xian Yue's words were exactly the same as what Si Jiong said, which was also the thinking of most beastmen—offspring are greater than everything. However, Si Ye was obviously one of the few who valued affection more, affection greater than offspring.
"I should send this child back to the Bixi Clan. If it is of the Phoenix Clan bloodline, I will send it back to the Phoenix Clan and hand it over to his uncle to raise. After all, these two places are the inheritance lands of this child. If an outsider takes care of him, the cultivation of his talent will definitely not be as attentive as his own clan relatives."
"Yes, what Sang'er said is true."
Lou Xian Yue nodded, seeing that she was still frowning, his heart moved,
A beautiful baby appeared in his hand.
Ink-blue, slightly curly short hair, chubby fishtail,
"Look who's here."
