Chapter 301: Could She Be Pregnant?
The tide receded, slowly returning to calm.
After the bath, Si Ye also held Sang Luo as they drifted off to sleep.
He lay on his side, slightly curled, his hands passing under her armpits, his long tail, transformed and covered in scales, curled up with its head and tail connected, looking like a “0” from afar.
Rather than an embrace, it was more like enclosing the female entirely within his territory, a possessive gesture.
When Sang Luo woke up, the sky outside the window was already bright. She was held tightly by the man, the air near her nose hot and thick, making it a little hard to breathe.
Sang Luo gently nudged Si Ye, but unexpectedly, he held her even tighter. Noticing the reaction of his body, she blushed with embarrassment, reached out, and lightly pinched his waist, complaining, "I'm hungry!"
Si Ye reluctantly opened his eyes, kissed her on the face, and then got out of bed to prepare something to eat.
There wasn't much to eat on the cargo ship. There were many aquatic beastmen who usually went directly into the sea to catch fresh ingredients. The drunken crabs that Si Ye had pickled a few days ago tasted quite good. Sang Luo ate several after finishing her meal, finding them indescribably delicious.
Seeing that she was still not full, Si Ye steamed a large pot of boiled shrimp and killed two live fish. Sang Luo ate them all without being picky, still looking like she hadn't had enough.
Si Ye was surprised and uncertain, "Luo Luo, has your appetite been getting bigger lately?"
"It's alright, my appetite has been good recently."
Si Ye looked down at her flat belly, somewhat hesitant, "Could it be that you're pregnant?"
The shrimp meat in Sang Luo's hand almost fell to the ground, "It shouldn't be!"
Her appetite was indeed better than before, but she only ate ordinary food and hadn't consumed much beast crystals or natural treasures. When she was pregnant, she mainly ate those things.
Si Ye shook his head, "You forgot when you were pregnant with the two little phoenixes, your belly didn't show for the first few months, but you were actually already pregnant! It's just that the gestation period for the children is too long. In the first few months, they were still in the embryonic development stage. Your appetite was also very good during those months, almost the same as now."
Sang Luo hesitantly touched her belly, "Are there any witch doctors on the ship?"
"There are hundreds of beastmen on the ship. Headaches and minor illnesses are common, so there are witch doctors, but they only treat these minor illnesses. There are no witch doctors who specialize in diagnosing pregnancy for females." Si Ye's eyes contained worry.
Sang Luo comforted him, "It's okay, if I'm really pregnant, we'll be able to tell sooner or later. I have plenty of natural treasures in my space, so I won't lack for food."
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the wooden planks under their feet suddenly vibrated and swayed violently.
The food in Sang Luo's hand spilled, and she almost fell to the ground. She grabbed the nearest mast to steady herself. Si Ye also quickly grabbed her hand to stabilize her center of gravity.
The beastmen on the ship were all experienced sailors and quickly regained their composure and took measures.
Some thought they had hit a reef under the sea and went to the bridge to adjust the course.
However, the roaring impact became more and more fierce, and another huge wave slammed down!
The ropes securing the cargo on the deck broke apart, and important supplies were about to fall into the sea. Sang Luo's heart was filled with anger, and the golden domain under her feet instantly spread out, intercepting the falling cargo boxes.
A towering behemoth rose from the sea, and a tentacle slammed heavily towards the cargo ship—
Si Ye instantly flashed into the air, holding a long sword in his palm. The sword rose and fell in an instant, a rainbow piercing the sun, cutting the sea beast's tentacle into two pieces.
The sea beast let out a terrifying scream with great penetrating power, and countless slender tentacles stabbed fiercely towards Si Ye like sharp blades!
This kind of attack could not pose a threat to Si Ye. He could easily dodge it, but the cargo ship was too large and heavy to dodge in time. Once the cargo ship was pierced, it would quickly sink into the seabed with the cargo.
Many shadows gathered on the sea surface below the ship, just waiting to make a big score!
"Don't worry, I'm on the ship, you go deal with the sea beast first!" Sang Luo shouted to Si Ye.
Si Ye completely trusted her to take care of the rear and rushed forward without hesitation to fight the sea beast.
Sang Luo completely enclosed the entire cargo ship within her domain. At the same time, she flew to the railing and condensed a ball of thunder and fire in her palm, smashing it towards the frantically surging shadows below!
The flames did not extinguish in the water, causing great damage to the fire-fearing sea beasts.
In an instant, a large number of sea beasts sank to the bottom of the sea.
Some stronger beastmen wanted to forcibly break through the domain and climb onto the ship to rob, but the moment they approached the domain, beastmen below the Emperor rank were instantly beheaded invisibly, and the screams were deafening.
In the sky above the sea, Si Ye stabbed the sea beast's last heart with his sword, completely killing it.
A tall and handsome man appeared in the void, wearing an indigo straight-collared robe, with slanted eyebrows reaching his temples, and a mischievous smile on his lips.
The man opened his mouth, "This is my emperor's sea area. It's not too much to ask for a toll for passing through, right?"
Si Ye did not sheath his sword, "If I'm not mistaken, the one who came is the Beast Emperor of the Central Sea, Wu Jing."
"Hehe, the Little Marquis of the Bixi Clan has good eyesight." Wu Jing smiled, looking at the cargo ship full of goods, his eyes filled with undisguised greed.
Si Ye frowned and said coldly, "Now that the continents are suffering disasters one after another, this batch of goods concerns tens of thousands of victims. Is the Central Sea really going to act like a bandit at this critical juncture, not afraid of being condemned by Heaven?"
"Disaster relief is for all living beings. My Central Sea has also been suffering disasters one after another recently. The victims can't even get a mouthful of food. Little Marquis, why not show mercy and leave this ship of goods behind to help our Central Sea too."
Truly shameless!
"Don't even think about it."
"If you don't leave the goods behind, don't think about passing through. If Little Marquis doesn't want to give it, then this emperor doesn't mind coming to rob it himself!"
"Has the Central Sea fallen to the point where it needs to rob other continents' disaster relief grain?" Another slender and elegant figure appeared in the sky above the sea, his laughter cold and sarcastic.
Wu Jing's face turned ugly when he saw Lou Xian Yue coming. His luck was bad, and everyone wanted to get involved.
He and Lou Xian Yue were both True Emperor rank, more than enough to deal with a Si Ye, but dealing with Lou Xian Yue would be much more troublesome.
Wu Jing put on a smile and feigned reconciliation, "The Central Sea and the Southern Sea have always valued peace. Why don't you and I join forces, get this ship of goods, and split it equally?"
"Little Marquis is a distinguished guest of the Southern Sea and also my husband's younger brother. If Wu Jing insists on robbing the goods, it is equivalent to provoking a conflict between the Southern Sea and the Central Sea, becoming the eternal sinner of the Central Sea."
Wu Jing's face suddenly darkened upon hearing this. He originally thought that Lou Xian Yue had the same idea as him and wanted to come and rob the goods, but it turned out that he was standing on the same front as the Eastern Continent.
Husband's younger brother, everything became clear. No matter what force, the beast husbands are always led by their female masters. The beast husbands of the same family are connected by the females and their offspring, which is the most resilient relationship besides kinship.
Wu Jing's face was pale, still unwilling to let go of the fat meat that had come into his hands.
Lou Xian Yue smiled and said, "The Southern Sea has always been generous to the people. If the Central Sea is suffering and the upper echelons are so inactive that they can't even distribute this little bit of disaster relief grain, the Southern Sea wouldn't mind taking over—"
"Central Sea!"
Second update, there will be another update tonight~
