Chapter 73: Birth, a little lion
"You reek of cigarettes, stay away from me." Sang Luo smelled the cigarettes on him and felt disgusted.

Duotu took off his coat, propped his hands on the headboard, and gently touched her big belly with his other hand. He smiled and said, "Are you feeling better? I've been a little busy these days and didn't have time to see you. Luoluo blames me."

"You finally get a few days of rest. Your Majesty, you should take good care of your injuries first and don't worry about me." Sang Luo said coquettishly.

After refining her soul bones, she felt much better.

Duotu, on the other hand, was either busy with the trivial matters of the previous dynasty or dealing with ministers from various countries all day long. He also had to review documents at night and take time to take care of her. This time he was seriously injured and had been in a coma for more than half a month... Ever since he became the Beast King, he has rarely had a good rest. It is completely different from his leisurely and dandy life when he was a prince.

Being the Beast King is not that easy. Sang Luo really wanted to ask him, do you regret it?

She could guess the answer from the man in front of her.

Never regret.

Only by reaching the supreme position can you get everything you want.

His ambition is great.

If Duotu knew what she was thinking, he would probably smile bitterly and say that his ambition was big, but sometimes, it was also small, so small that it could only accommodate a family.

Sang Luo was carving a puppet that was almost finished. Looking closely, it looked somewhat similar to her. Duo Tu raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile, "What is this?"

"I was bored, so I carved a few figurines for fun. Your Majesty, my craftsmanship is pretty good, isn't it?"

"It looks a lot like you." He said seriously, "It's really beautiful."

"If your majesty doesn't mind, I'll carve one for you~"

"Okay." He didn't refuse. His handsome and deep eyes were filled with joy and he looked very expectant.

After Sang Luo finished carving the piece in his hand, he asked Ah Man to get a piece of precious Dalbergia odorifera from the warehouse. He lowered his head slightly and began to carve carefully with a carving knife.

Duotu sat quietly beside him, his eyes always on Sang Luo, her charming and soft white profile, her butterfly-like eyelashes trembling from time to time, and a few strands of black hair scattered on her shoulders and neck, so soft that it made people want to touch it... He was watching intently.

The sun was setting outside the window, and the piece in her hand was finished. Sang Luo picked up the wooden sculpture of the little man and showed it to him.

It's amateur craftsmanship, and the carving is just average without any details, but it still looks somewhat lifelike. Well, very good!

Duotu accepted the wooden sculpture and looked at the little man in her hand, "Carve one for the child, too."

"It hasn't been born yet, so we don't know what it looks like."

"After the baby is born."

"Well, let's talk about it when we have a chance." Sang Luosheng stretched out his arms and snuggled in his arms, "Your Majesty, I'm sleepy."

"I'll finish applying the oil to you first, then you can go to sleep."

Duotu asked her to lie flat on the bed, and his movements were extremely careful and gentle. Sang Luo's belly was now about the same size as that of a normal woman in her seventh or eighth month of pregnancy, which was considered very big in the Beast World, and she was close to giving birth.

After applying olive oil to her as usual, Duotu gently massaged her for a while. When Sang Luo stood up to leave, she reached out and took the man's slender and beautiful hand and put it on her stomach.
"Your Majesty, I should be giving birth soon."

Duotu's Adam's apple rolled, and he became more nervous. "Well, I heard from the witch doctor that it should be this week... You should stay in the palace and don't go out. There is no need to socialize with those noble females."

"It's not a social event. They are eager to come and flatter me. I just want to go out and see the world when I have nothing to do in the house. Your Majesty also knows that I am a female from a small tribe. There are many good things in the imperial capital that I have never seen."

"There will be plenty of time in the future." He looked at her with a gentle and intoxicating gaze, and whispered softly, "Luoluo, after you give birth, I'll have almost finished my work. I'll go out with you every day, okay?"

Sang Luo was silent for a moment, then called out softly, "More pictures..."

She seldom called him by his name, but always called him Your Majesty, which revealed their true relationship beneath the false appearance of mutual respect. Duotu knew it all.

At this moment, Duotu suddenly heard Sang Luo calling his name for the first time in a long time. He was stunned for two seconds, unable to hide his joy, "Luoluo, what's wrong?"

Sang Luo just looked at him for two seconds and smiled, "After the baby is born, you must take good care of the child, otherwise I will be angry."

"I will take good care of you and the child!"

……

Seven days passed in a flash, and it was the day of delivery.

Marshall Brent had some ulterior motive and wanted to come over to pay a fake visit, but she couldn't even get in the door.

The entire Taoyuanwu was guarded by layers of security and was completely blocked.

All irrelevant outsiders and servants were isolated outside the palace.

This posture is even more frightening than the time when the Beast King was injured!
Duotu was so nervous that he couldn't sleep for several nights. He stayed with Sang Luo all the time and paid attention to her physical condition.

Sang Luo had been eating animal crystals since morning, and by the evening, she could not eat anything. She covered her stomach and could feel the little guy struggling to get out.

"It's time to give birth." Sang Luo took a breath and held onto Duotu's hand. Cold sweat oozed out of her pale face. She forced a smile and said with some embarrassment,

"Your Majesty, please go out first."

Duotu's breathing became heavy and his eyes turned red, "I'm here with you!"

"Your Majesty the Beast King, please go and wait outside the palace first. Otherwise, it may cause emotional tension in the pregnant female, making childbirth more difficult." said a witch doctor.

No matter how worried Duotu was, after hearing this, he had no choice but to go out and wait.

He was sitting outside the hall, fidgeting and pacing back and forth, listening carefully to the movements inside the hall, wishing he could stick his whole body to the door.

Sang Luo watched the witch doctors busy preparing various things. She felt very calm. Having given birth to two children, she was already accustomed to all the processes, and the slight nervousness was quickly dispelled.

After waiting for about two or three hours, the noises in her stomach became louder and louder. "Ah!" She grabbed the quilt in pain, and the blue veins on the back of her hands bulged.

Duotu heard a sudden scream in the delivery room, his face suddenly changed, and he almost rushed in.

"Luoluo!"

Soon, an extremely weak voice came from inside the house, which made people feel pity and distress, "Your Majesty, I... am fine... Can you pick an iris for me personally..."

"Luoluo, wait for me, I'll be back soon!"

Hearing the noise at the door disappear, Sang Luo withdrew his gaze and breathed a sigh of relief.

Quickly activate the healing technique and the body will recover instantly.

Sang Luo got out of bed without even having time to change her clothes, and looked at the witch doctors who seemed to have lost their souls. They were all controlled by her mental power.

Sang Luo walked up to one of the short and fat old witch doctors, took out a syringe from the plate, and squeezed out a little potion. The potion was said to be for her to help with childbirth, but it was actually highly poisonous and could kill her on the spot.

Sang Luo put the syringe back to its place, walked around the hall, and then returned to the bedside. He gently took out a little ball of flesh that had not yet opened its eyes from the blood-stained bedding.

It is actually a little lion cub that has not yet grown hair.

The skin is wrinkled and looks ugly.

It's a male lion cub.

Sang Luo couldn't help laughing, "It's just a little thing like you who has been tormenting me for so long. You will definitely be very naughty when you grow up!"

There was a basin of warm water and a towel prepared on the bedside table. Sang Luo wet the towel and wiped the little lion clean.

But my fingers felt two bumps on its back.

Sang Luo was so scared that she thought she had given birth to an unhealthy and deformed cub with two tumors. She turned it over and touched it carefully, only to find that it was actually a pair of wing bones that had not yet fully developed.

This little lion is a true angel lion, and the blood of angels was awakened at birth!
A flash of surprise crossed Sang Luo's mind, and only then did he have time to look inward at the two new innate energies that had appeared in his body.

[Ghost True Fire] [Eye of Broken Image]

A flame was pinched out from the fingertips, and the flame was no longer golden red, but a translucent blue flame.

It should be because she refined the soul bone during her pregnancy, which allowed the Fiery True Fire to be upgraded to a higher level and become the Ghost True Fire.

The Blazing Flame True Fire can only burn entities, but cannot annihilate souls. The Ghost True Fire not only completely inherits the high destructiveness of the Blazing Flame True Fire, but can even completely destroy the enemy's body and soul! Turn it to ashes! This power is simply terrifying!
As for the ability of the Eyes of Image Breaking, Sang Luo was unable to figure it out for the time being, but his initial guess was that it was some kind of extremely rare and special innate power, probably something like breaking illusions.

This child is much more talented than his father!
Her realm was also raised to the peak of half-king, and she was only one step away from becoming a true king.

Sang Luo wrapped the little lion tightly in a clean blanket, leaving only its pink head exposed. This was the first time Sang Luo looked carefully at the little animal she had given birth to, and her eyes became wet unconsciously. It would definitely be a very beautiful little lion when it grows up. Unfortunately, she probably wouldn't have the chance to see it grow up...

She is leaving soon.

In her last moments, Sang Luo held the little lion, wanting to stay with it a little longer. But when she heard the noise outside the door again, the smile on her face disappeared, and she became cold and disgusted, knowing that she had to go.

Sang Luo could feel that the longer she and Duotu were together, the more entangled they became, and the deeper his obsession with her became.

At first, she really thought that Duotu's assurance was true, but now that she thought about it, it was most likely just a rhetoric he used to delay her.

Sang Luo didn't think that after she gave birth to the child, he would really let her go easily and clear all ties.

She had been pretending to be nice to Duotu for so long and was already completely fed up with him. Now was the best opportunity to break up with him!
Sang Luo took one last look at the little lion and kissed it on the head. When she was about to let go, the little lion suddenly moved tremblingly, stretched out its little tongue to lick her face, and made a soft, milky hum.

Sang Luo's heart trembled and tears welled up in her eyes, but she quickly calmed down and put it back on the bed.

The power condensed into a blade, cutting through the golden lion-shaped soul mark on the palm, and the figure disappeared...
