Chapter 176 Father, I seem to have had a beautiful dream
"Beast King Palace? You really will never let yourself down no matter where you go." Fei Yuan looked at Sang Luo meaningfully.
Sang Luo blushed slightly when he looked at her, and she coughed lightly, "Females can wrong others, but never wrong themselves!"
"..."
Fei Yuan has a special identity. The Eastern and Western continents have almost no contact with each other, but there are frequent frictions and wars in the border areas. The relationship between the two places is somewhat tense. If people knew his origins, it would probably cause considerable panic.
He put away his extravagant appearance, and suppressed his realm to that of a seventh-level orc. He found a private seat by the window on the second floor of the restaurant and ordered some ordinary food and drinks.
Fei Yuan tried his best to disguise himself as an ordinary orc, but his stunning appearance and the gorgeous dark red clothes attracted countless people's attention.
Many females from noble families blushed when they saw him, and were eager to try and approach him to chat with him.
He listened to the various rumors at the dinner table with interest in his eyes.
……
Sang Luo went to the Beast King's Palace.
It was seven o'clock in the morning. She remembered that it was time for court. Duotu was not in the harem. She transformed herself into a servant and asked around, only to find out that the little lion lived in Taoyuanwu.
Isn't that her former bedroom?
After she left, the house was given to her son to live with. Duotu was quite a manpower-saving measure.
However, Taoyuanwu was indeed well built, and was no worse than the Beast King's palace. She personally witnessed the construction and design of the palace, and her son would definitely like her taste.
Sang Luo didn't stroll around for long and went to Taoyuanwu.
As soon as she entered the palace, an ancient peach tree surrounded by a sea of flowers came into view. It had hardly changed from before she left. It was the season when peach blossoms were in full bloom. The pink peach blossoms fell like snow, and in a moment, they spread all over the ground, and were blown away by the wind like a dream.
She walked through the peach trees, entered the palace, and saw another stone statue.
It is a whole piece of white marble nearly ten meters high, meticulously carved, and is precious and hard to find. When Sang Luo saw clearly the person who carved the stone statue, he was suddenly stunned.
She was very familiar with this face. Although she was wearing a veil, her delicate features were exposed... and the cradle in her arms was a stone sculpture of a newborn lion cub.
A cleaning servant passed by and saw that she was still not leaving. He smiled and said, "You look unfamiliar to me. Are you new here?"
"Ah."
Sang Luo looked at the stone statues of mother and child, somewhat absent-mindedly.
The servant followed her gaze and said with emotion, "The relationship between the emperor and the empress was really good, but it was a pity that the queen was so beautiful and had a tragic fate. She left your majesty and the little prince early. Your majesty personally found this precious stone, spent a year and a half to carve it by hand, and it was just completed two months ago and moved to this palace. Every time I pass by the stone statue, I can't help but stop and admire it like you."
As he spoke, the man said with some emotion, "Ah, your majesty loves the queen deeply. If the queen were still here, this cold palace would be filled with more laughter and joy."
"…In the two years since His Majesty ascended the throne, the power in the empire has been unstable, and countless people inside and outside the empire are eyeing this position. Logically, he urgently needs to marry to consolidate his power. Why didn't he marry a new queen?"
The servant thought the man's words were a little strange, but he didn't think much about it and replied honestly, "The emperor and the queen were in perfect harmony. After the queen died, her body was buried in the imperial mausoleum. His Majesty said that he would be buried with the queen after his death. He also said that the empire only had this queen and he would never marry another female in his life."
"..."
After chatting for a while, the servant went to clean the front yard.
Sang Luo stood in front of the stone statue for a long time, feeling mixed emotions.
She saw a line of words carved under the stone statue.
She recognized Duotu's handwriting; it was written by him himself.
"I will always love you."
Sang Luo's lips curled up sarcastically. He was really good at putting on an act for outsiders to see.
Back then, it was also a hypocritical affection. If Quan Xiu hadn't intervened, she would probably have been kept in the dark by him for the rest of her life.
Sang Luo withdrew his gaze, without looking at it any more, and teleported to the bedroom.
It was still early, and the little lion was indeed sleeping in the bedroom. The layout of the bedroom was not much different from before she left, except that the pots of magnolia she had kept in front of the window had withered and been replaced.
Sang Luo tiptoed to the bedside, even breathing softly, for fear of waking the cub. The little lion was quite beautiful, a little bigger than the wolf cub, with soft golden brown fur that looked like precious silk in the morning sun. It had a pair of white wings on its back, which naturally drooped and curled up to cover its body when it was asleep, like a small white blanket.
Sang Luo walked closer and saw that there was a small wooden sculpture under its thick little paws, and the movement was a bit like a human baby sleeping with a favorite toy in its arms.
Sang Luo looked at the small wooden sculpture and felt it looked familiar. After a while, she remembered that she had carved this little wooden sculpture when she was bored and about to give birth in the palace.
What she was thinking about at the time was the baby that was about to be born in her belly. She wanted to carve a small statue of it, but she didn't know what the baby looked like, so she carved a statue of herself.
The carving was actually very poor. If she hadn't told him, no one would have been able to tell who it was.
Sang Luo thought that this casually carved small wooden sculpture had long been disposed of by the servants, but she didn't expect it to still be there.
Sang Luo gently held the little lion in her arms and touched its head, "Little Sun, your mother is here to see you."
She didn't know what the little lion's name was, so she called it by the nickname she had given it in her heart.
The little lion rubbed against her arms and woke up slightly.
Tears suddenly rose in Sang Luo's eyes. She wanted it to wake up and see what its mother looked like, but she also didn't want it to wake up and see her...
Finally, she used an illusion, and the little lion fell into a deep sleep again, peacefully and sweetly.
Sang Luo doesn't usually use illusions, so he doesn't know what he dreamed about, but illusions should allow him to see what he wants to see most.
Sang Luo fed the little lion some medicine, which melted in his mouth, and a faint golden light emanated from his body...
click,
The palace door opened.
Sang Luo hurriedly put the little lion back on the bed, covered it with the quilt, and disappeared.
She saw Dotu walking into the hall.
He had just come out of court and had not had time to change out of his straight and luxurious court robes, so his steps were hurried.
He has blond hair, blue eyes, a handsome face, and a tall and straight figure.
His appearance has not changed much. He is no longer as casual and unrestrained as he used to be. He looks more steady and dignified, like a true king.
He usually handles government affairs and does not pay much attention to cultivation. His strength is still at the True King level, with no major changes.
Sang Luo's strength has surpassed his, and Duotu cannot detect her invisibility.
However, when the two of them passed each other, Duotu paused and turned to look at her.
Sang Luo's heart suddenly skipped a beat, thinking that he saw her, and then she noticed that Duotu was staring blankly out the window behind her.
Outside the window, peach blossoms fluttered and fell on the hair and shoulders of the beautiful stone statue...
A few peach blossoms swirled in the wind and flew into the hall.
An indescribable fragrance wafted past, causing Duotu to lose his mind for a moment.
He raised his hand and caught a petal, but the next second, it was blown away by the wind.
The fragrance also dissipated.
After being stunned for a moment, he called the servants.
"Cut down the peach tree in the palace."
Second update~There will be extra updates in the evening!
Unified reply to the reasons why it is difficult to conceive a second child:
It can be simply understood that the eggs are picky and will screen sperm, only interested in stronger genes. After giving birth to the most talented child that the beast husband can currently reach, they don't want to give birth a second time.
There are only two ways to resolve this. Either the beast husband is in estrus and is more aggressive, so he can force the woman to get pregnant by force through frequency and intensity. Or, after the beast husband's strength is greatly improved, he is able to make the woman get pregnant with a child with higher talent, so it will be easier to get pregnant.
