Chapter 242: Your Majesty, Behave Yourself!
Sang Luo took out a plate of spiritual fruit from her space, sat on the stone bench in the pavilion, enjoying the breeze and the beautiful scenery, contentedly munching on the fruit without paying too much attention to anything else.
Her spiritual power was constantly focused on her eldest son's side.
Where could one find such a good environment in the Void Demon Realm? Little Qi happily swam back and forth in the pond, occasionally catching a few small fish and shrimps, all of which went into its belly.
The fish and shrimp raised by Fei Yuan in the palace pond were also top-quality spiritual objects, very nourishing to eat.
Little Qi's belly was soon full and bulging.
It lazily yawned, glanced at its mother in the pavilion, swam closer, and curled its slender body on a blooming lotus flower, falling asleep.
After sleeping for a while, it got hungry again and swam into the water to hunt…
Sang Luo was amused. She brought Little Qi here to play every day, and it wouldn't be long before all the spiritual fish raised by Fei Yuan in the pond would be eaten.
Thinking of what that old bird had been doing recently, hmph! Let her son eat heartily and devour all his wealth!
As the sun set, the evening breeze felt a bit chilly. Sang Luo finished several plates of spiritual fruit, casually threw the fruit cores into several corners of the garden, and activated her power. Soon, tender sprouts emerged from the soil…
She clapped her hands and called out towards the pond,
"It's getting late, the water is cold, Little Qi, come up quickly, don't catch a cold."
"Mother, I'm not cold," Little Qi said, obediently coming up.
It swam to the stone table.
Sang Luo took out a handkerchief embroidered with azaleas and wiped its small body.
She wiped it clean.
Little Qi climbed onto her wrist and coiled up. It was very happy to play with its mother and sighed less often. "It would be great if sister were here too. Sister misses mother very much…"
"By the way, where's sister? Hasn't she hatched yet? Is she with your father?" Sang Luo asked.
Her eldest daughter had been through many twists and turns. Sang Luo shook her head as soon as she finished speaking. Quan Jin sent Little Qi here for safety, how could he not send his daughter, who had even less ability to protect herself?
"Sister isn't with father. Sister was taken away by someone…" Little Qi said softly, "I don't know who that person is, sister said she was very scared."
Sang Luo's heart tightened, "Isn't sister still unhatched? How do you know she's scared?"
"It takes time for sister to break out of her shell because of the resistance, but she's well-developed. Moreover, mother doesn't know, and father doesn't know, but there's a special sense of communication between me and sister. We often whisper to each other!" Little Qi proudly wagged its tail tip, "I told sister last time that I saw mother, and she envied me very much. She also wants to see mother. She has never seen mother before."
"When your father brings sister back, she can see mother every day." Sang Luo listened, feeling both heartache and sweetness. She thought of something again, and her heart sank, "You said sister was taken away…"
"Yes, father will go back this time to ask that person to return sister."
"…"
To be able to force Quan Jin to send the child to her side, the opponent must be difficult to deal with.
Quan Jin said he would pick up the child in a few days, but he hasn't returned yet.
The soul imprint was still there, so Sang Luo could only rest assured for the time being.
He promised her that he would personally send the child back. This time, he would definitely not break his promise to her.
One day, Little Qi rummaged through Sang Luo's space and found a porcelain bottle, curiously saying, "Mother! What is this? It smells so good."
"Oh dear, look at my memory, I almost forgot about this thing. This was originally prepared for you and sister. It's a pill that can help royal beast cubs improve their realm. You eat one, and keep the other for sister."
"Okay!"
Little Qi obediently swallowed the pill and soon fell asleep, feeling sleepy.
Sang Luo took it back to the palace to sleep.
Half a month later.
It rose from the Half-King Realm to the True King Realm.
Little Qi was the first child she gave birth to, and its cultivation level was greatly related to her, the mother. Sang Luo's realm was too low at the time, so Little Qi's initial realm was a bit worse than the later children, but its talent was not bad, and it would catch up slowly through cultivation.
Several months passed.
Fei Yuan came out of seclusion.
After much back and forth, this pregnancy had been going on for almost two years, and Sang Luo's belly was a bit bigger than it was a year ago, about the same as a human pregnancy of three or four months.
Fei Yuan was visibly happy.
"How has Your Majesty been abstaining from sex?" Sang Luo lay on the bed, looking at him with a smile.
Fei Yuan glanced at her with deep eyes, his Adam's apple slightly bobbing.
Sang Luo's heart skipped a beat. Why did he look… even more hungry?
So abstinence was a lie, and being pent up for too long was the truth.
Sang Luo immediately burrowed into the quilt again, trying to distance herself from him.
Fei Yuan sighed and pulled her out of the "fortress", "Let me see how the child is growing."
Only then was Sang Luo willing to let him touch her.
Fei Yuan held her in his arms, feeling a long-lost satisfaction. He reached out and touched her much rounder belly, a trace of jade-white fingertips probing in.
He had been taking good care of her.
This child was also developing very healthily, and Sang Luo had no uncomfortable symptoms during her pregnancy.
"How is Your Majesty's research on that Divine Poison Pearl going?"
"With this child's power, it can be refined, but it will put a considerable burden on your body. There may be accidents in the later stages of pregnancy and during childbirth. Do you want to take it?"
Sang Luo looked at the cyan-green pearl he took out and swallowed.
The first time she saw this Divine Poison Pearl, she wanted to eat it, but seeing Yan Du Ren's miserable appearance… her fear outweighed her appetite.
She wanted to eat it, which meant this baby wanted to eat it.
"Since Your Majesty is willing to take out this pearl, you must have made thorough preparations." She raised her eyebrows.
"Not bad." Fei Yuan looked at her and smiled, "Simply put, I have extracted a portion of the Divine Poison Pearl's toxicity to give your body an adaptation process. After you take the Divine Poison Pearl, I will use my power to guide it. However, this process may require Little Luo'er to suffer a bit. Can you bear it?"
"…Is it more ‘bitter’ than Your Majesty?"
Fei Yuan understood and smiled ambiguously and flirtatiously, "No."
"Hmph!"
He even had the nerve to answer.
"The child is urging me to eat~ Your Majesty, let's start now."
"Okay." Fei Yuan touched her face, "Take off your clothes."
Sang Luo paused, glaring at him. Taking off her clothes in front of him, wasn't that the same as a fat sheep voluntarily jumping into a wolf pack?
She slowly took off her coat, wearing only a plain white inner garment, and pouted, "Your Majesty, work hard and don't get handsy."
"How can I help you guide without getting handsy?"
"…Then behave yourself! Don't touch where you shouldn't."
"Okay." Fei Yuan nodded and agreed readily. Seeing that she hadn't taken it off yet, he couldn't wait any longer. With a wave of his hand, he stripped her bare, as if he was extremely skilled.
"…"
He took out a palm-sized porcelain bowl filled with a fine red paste like cinnabar.
