Chapter 320: How About Bearing Me a Child?
A sickly little boy lay in bed, "Divine Maiden Sister, will my illness ever get better…?"
"It will."
"I heard the servants talking downstairs, I won't live much longer…"
"You will live well."
"Can you hold me and go outside for a walk…? I've never seen what color the sunlight is, what color the sky is…"
"The sunlight is like your hair, the sky is like your eyes."
…
When Sang Luo woke up, the fragments of the dream were very vague, and the characters in the dream were also extremely ethereal, as if shrouded in a faint white light.
She couldn't remember what the content of the dream was, she only felt that this sleep was extremely tiring, even more tired than before she slept.
"Luo'er, we're here."
Fei Yuan slowly descended onto the iceberg. The majestic palace was built piece by piece with ice, yet it would not melt for thousands of years, which was shocking.
Sang Luo composed herself, flew off the phoenix's back and landed on the ground. Fei Yuan also transformed into human form, taking her hand as they walked over.
The Northern Beast Emperor had already led his people to greet them.
"Long time no see, Cang Qian."
"Yes, only at times like these can we meet."
Fei Yuan introduced Sang Luo, "Luo'er, this is the Northern Beast Emperor, Cang Qian, the Qilin Beast Emperor, an old fellow who has lived for nearly two thousand years. He also broke through to the Supreme Realm a few days ago."
"…" Sang Luo looked at this Northern Beast Emperor, a tall and burly figure, with short, gray hair, and a handsome and sharp face, looking very unapproachable.
Cang Qian didn't mind Fei Yuan's teasing, his gaze fell on Sang Luo, somewhat surprised, "This is…"
"My partner, Sang Luo, here to play in the north for a few days."
"Greetings, Sister-in-law." Cang Qian's tone was cold and hard as he extended a broad palm.
Cang Qian and Fei Yuan were fellow disciples, usually addressing each other as brothers, so calling her sister-in-law was only natural.
Sang Luo politely shook his hand, "Greetings, Beast Emperor."
"The wind and snow outside are too heavy. A banquet has already been prepared in the palace to welcome you two and wash away the dust. Please come in." He extended his hand to welcome them.
The palace was built with several meters thick of ice rock. It looked cold from the outside, but walking inside, it was quite warm. The thick ice walls blocked the fierce cold wind and snow outside.
The abundance of food in the north couldn't compare to other places, somewhat similar to the North Continent. The north and the North Continent were indeed only separated by a sea, quite close to each other.
Sang Luo released the children from her space, "This is Northern Beast Emperor Uncle Cang Qian, little darlings, greet your uncle."
The little cubs behaved themselves and said, "Hello, Uncle Cang Qian!"
"Greetings, Uncle Cang Qian!"
Cang Qian looked at the swarm of children that came running out, his eyes widened, there were wolf beasts, Teng snakes, merfolk, lions, Bixi, phoenix cubs… "These, these children, were all born to you?"
"If they weren't born to me, then who else could have given birth to them? Don't I look like these children?" Sang Luo joked with a smile.
Cang Qian retracted the shock on his face, and a deep meaning flashed across the depths of his eyes as he looked at her.
The servants beside him were well aware that the females in Cang Qian Beast Emperor's harem were neither too many nor too few, and had been barren for many years. The instinct of males was to reproduce offspring. It was very difficult for king beasts with too high talent to have offspring. A few years ago, he heard that the Central Phoenix Emperor had offspring, and even a pair of male and female cubs. This stimulated the beast emperors of other places, who expanded their harems to reproduce offspring, but most of them had little success.
A female with such excellent fertility was a great temptation for any king beast male.
Fei Yuan caught a glimpse of the slightly fiery look in Cang Qian's eyes as he looked at Sang Luo. Being a male himself, he naturally understood what it meant. He put his arm around Sang Luo's waist, pulled her into his arms, and looked at Cang Qian with a smile that was not a smile, "Brother Cang Qian and I are fellow disciples after all. On this occasion, I don't want to say some things too clearly."
"What's too clear?" Sang Luo turned to look at him.
"It's nothing, just reminding Little Luo'er, don't have any ideas you shouldn't have." Fei Yuan pinched her face and whispered in her ear, "Cang Qian has good talent, and is also in the Supreme Realm, do you want to take him?"
Cang Qian also looked over, with a hint of anticipation in his eyes.
Sang Luo's face turned red, and she twisted his arm fiercely. He even dared to ask such a serious question, "Cough! Don't joke around." She replied with her heart, [Am I such a fickle female! It's not like I love every one I see!]
Her standards are very high!
Not to mention that she doesn't plan to take too many beast husbands now, and besides, Cang Qian isn't the type she likes, he's not as good-looking as them.
Fei Yuan nodded knowingly, "It's good if you don't like him, then I can rest assured."
Cang Qian lowered his head and said nothing, drinking a glass of strong wine and filling the glasses for the two of them, "Taste how the food here is."
Not expecting that the two of them would bring their children over for a free meal, Cang Qian asked the servants to bring stools for the children and prepare bowls, chopsticks, and tableware for each of them.
"Thank you for the hospitality of the Northern Beast Emperor, then I and the children will not be polite."
"Please, if Noble Female Sang Luo doesn't mind, you can stay in the Ice Emperor Palace all this time."
"That's really too kind of you!"
Cang Qian specially sent people to clean up a few rooms for her and the children to live in separately.
Fei Yuan, "Clean up one less room, it's enough for Luo'er to live in one room with me."
Cang Qian, "Most of the rooms in the Ice Emperor Palace are narrow, and the beds are not big. Are you two sure you want to sleep in one room?"
Sang Luo thought for a while, "It's okay, it's warmer to squeeze together!"
Fei Yuan smiled contentedly.
Cang Qian didn't say much, and cleaned up a slightly larger room for the two of them.
Sang Luo stayed in the Ice Emperor Palace for the next few days, taking the children out every day. When the day of the priest arrived, Cang Qian and Fei Yuan would both have to leave for two days.
Sang Luo took the children out to play, and encountered a heavy blizzard in the middle of the journey, and came back with a bit of a runny nose, and sneezed several times.
"There are specially supplied hot springs in the palace, would Noble Female like to take the children to soak in them?"
"That's really too kind of you."
"You're welcome. His Majesty said that we should treat the two of you as the owners of the palace. Noble Female doesn't have to be restrained, and can treat the palace as your own home."
The servant led Sang Luo and the children to the indoor hot springs.
As soon as Sang Luo went in, the door closed.
The hot spring was surrounded by white mist, and the air was warm and pleasant.
Sang Luo walked to the edge of the pool, but unexpectedly saw a figure not far away, with a strange look on his face, "Beast Emperor Cang Qian? Why are you here? Didn't you and Fei Yuan go to the priest?"
"The priest is finished, just came back." Cang Qian walked towards her, taking off his outer robe.
"…What does the Beast Emperor mean?"
"How about bearing me offspring?" He no longer concealed it, staring at her with burning eyes.
"Does Fei Yuan know about this?" The smile on Sang Luo's face faded.
"As long as you are willing, it doesn't matter whether he agrees or not."
"Sorry, I'm not willing."
"If you don't try, how will you know how good I am." Cang Qian's hand was about to touch her shoulder when the person in front of him suddenly disappeared! His face was horrified.
There's one more chapter, later~
