Sang Luo didn’t linger in the Thousand Elephant Tribe for long. After confirming that Duoji and the others were safe, she hurried back to the Western Continent. All told, it had been exactly six days. ’Caesar shouldn’t have returned yet,’ she thought.
But she had miscalculated. The mont she arrived ho, she walked in on the man sitting on the sofa reading a book. It was beyond awkward.
"Uh, you just got back?"
"I got back this morning. I was waiting for you." Caesar flipped a page.
"I went on a little trip."
He closed his book and looked at her seriously. "From now on, co ho sooner. And if there’s sowhere you want to go, just tell . I can go with you."
’...’ ’So he found out I snuck out.’
"Aren’t you normally busy? I didn’t want to be a bother." Sang Luo coughed lightly, her guilt showing as she walked toward him.
"For you, I always have ti."
Caesar naturally wrapped an arm around her slender waist and pulled her onto his lap.
His inky-black, satin-like hair cascaded to his waist. His long purple eyes were alluring yet aloof, frad by thick, long lashes. His lips were a little pale. As the light from the window spilled over him, it cast him in a golden glow, making him look as elegant and beautiful as a deity. He was, in a word, flawless.
He still wore his military uniform, the high collar hiding his Adam’s apple. The look was both austere and sensual, practically daring soone to corrupt him.
Sang Luo swallowed hard, a restless desire stirring within her. ’I have to admit,’ she thought, ’Caesar’s face is absolutely perfect. He’s exactly my type, and he so easily awakens my lust.’
She reached out, hooking a strand of his long hair and twirling it around her finger. Sang Luo leaned in and brushed her lips against his. Caesar tentatively deepened the kiss, his breathing growing heavier as he gazed at her with a veiled look of anticipation and longing.
Sang Luo could feel his arousal, and her own body responded in kind.
"...How strong are you?" she asked, a thought of the High Priest’s words flashing through her mind.
She could sense Caesar was stronger than Anubia.
"True King Rank."
"What’s True King Rank?"
Sang Luo was familiar with the system from First Rank to Seventh Rank, but she wasn’t sure what ca after.
"Above Seventh Rank are the King Beasts, which can be roughly divided into three levels: Half-King Rank, True King Rank, and Peak of King Rank. I just broke through to True King Rank a while ago."
’A fire ignited within Sang Luo. ’Caesar must be the highest-ranking Beastman I’ve ever t.’ She guessed that Anubia was probably at the Half-King Level, and that Golden Lion’s rank was about the sa as his.
’The higher one’s rank, the harder it is to advance.’
’After being with Anubia, my power jumped from the Peak of Fifth Rank to the Sixth Rank Peak. If I can conquer Caesar, maybe I can shoot straight to the Seventh Rank Peak!’
Sang Luo’s soft, seemingly boneless hand landed on his chest, unbuttoning his military uniform little by little. "Do you know why I didn’t agree to mate with you last ti?"
"..."
"I hate it when people lie to ." Her hand ca to rest on his belt, stroking it gently.
Caesar’s breathing beca uncontrollably heavy, and a thin layer of sweat beaded on his forehead. He said in a hoarse voice, "That Wolf Beast’s Frenzy Value broke 80. He was out of control. It’s highly likely he’s connected to the rebel army. The Empire won’t spare him, and I didn’t want you to get dragged into it..."
Sang Luo wasn’t buying it. ’Lan Cang managed to co find , which ans he wasn’t out of control. I don’t know the whole history between the Empire and the rebel army, but Lan Cang is a rcenary. He should be able to take care of himself.’
"Do you know where he is?"
"If I find him, he’ll never appear before you again."
Her slender fingers danced tantalizingly close to the forbidden area as she pleaded, "Caesar, don’t lay a hand on him."
He took a deep breath, the lust in his eyes fading. "Did you co to because of him? I can promise I won’t go after him out of personal jealousy. But if I encounter a mber of the rebel army, I will do my duty."
Sang Luo felt a pang of disappointnt. This was the most he would concede, and she had no right to interfere with his official duties.
"You’re still thinking about him? I thought you’d moved on after your trip back to Rubel Forest."
"...How did you know I left?" Sang Luo was stunned.
"I never withdrew my people from Rubel Forest. Soone saw you at the ruins. I received the video footage when I returned this morning."
"Sigh, I guess our connection was just too fragile..." For the most part, she had moved on.
"Prove it to ."
"Like... what if I’ve had a change of heart?"
A soft, intoxicating smile blood across Sang Luo’s exquisitely beautiful face—ambiguous and bewitching. Her hand reached for the forbidden zone.
"I think I’m starting to want you..."
Giving her no chance to back out, Caesar swept her into his arms, carried her to the bedroom, and laid her on the bed.
His searing lips descended, covering her in a flurry of kisses.
"Let take care of you, officially..."
At first, he was gentle and patient, luring her in with his tender skill. But as ti went on, he grew more and more unrestrained, wearing her out with his relentless energy. If Sang Luo hadn’t consud a few Beast Crystals midway through, she never would have been able to keep up.
’A King Beast was truly a King Beast! Their terrifying prowess in every respect was more than any ordinary female could handle!’
When Sang Luo woke at noon the next day, her mouth was terribly dry. Caesar considerately handed her a glass of water.
After a few sips, she decided she wanted juice instead. Caesar went and brought her a glass of iced juice. Then, kissing the print of her lips on the first glass, he drank the rest of the Water himself.
"I’m hungry..." Sang Luo purred, rubbing her stomach. She started to get out of bed, then rembered she was naked. Pulling the silk covers up higher, she shot him a playfully reproachful glance.
That single glance, so full of tender shyness, was enough to make Caesar’s mind race and his mouth go dry with desire.
He took a deep breath, forcing himself not to stare at her exposed, jade-white skin. He ducked his head and planted a placating kiss on her cheek. "Should we eat now? Or do you want to rest a while longer?"
"After a whole day and night, I’m exhausted and starving! And it’s all your fault!"
"Yes, yes, it’s all my fault."
His voice was so gentle it practically dripped honey. He took her small hand and kissed it again and again, as if he couldn’t bear to let it go.
By the ti Sang Luo changed into a misty-blue, ice-silk slip dress and ca to the dining table, a sumptuous lunch was already prepared. There was chicken, duck, fish, eggs, and milk, pork floss pastries, seasonal fresh fruits, and so snacks unique to the Beast World—everything one could wish for.
Ever since Caesar had learned that Sang Luo disliked drinking nutrient solution, he had hired several highly skilled chefs for the manor.
He had finished cutting a steak. When he saw Sang Luo approach, he poured her a glass of light milk. "See what you think of this. I had soone hunt it down in the Beast Forest just for you. It’s as fresh as it gets."
Sang Luo took a bite of the steak with sweet sauce. It was delicious. She followed it with a sip of the light milk, leaving a white mustache on her full, rosy lips. Caesar watched, his throat tightening and the tips of his ears flushing red.
"Oh, that reminds , there’s sothing important I almost forgot to tell you. In Beckman Forest, quite a few tribal females were captured by the Insect Clan and taken to a city. That city is now full of the Insect Clan, and it’s beco a base for them on the Beast World Continent." After she finished eating, Sang Luo wiped her hands. "Hand a piece of paper."
Caesar went to the study to get her a pen and paper.
Sang Luo drew a map from mory and gave it to him.
After looking it over, Caesar frowned. "How do you know this?"
"I got careless in Beckman Forest and was captured by the Insect Clan, but I managed to escape! Don’t worry!" After a mont’s thought, Sang Luo decided to leave out the part about Anubia. Of the three n she’d been with, he was the only one she had no emotional attachnt to.
’He was a tool, a one-night stand. There would be no future between them.’
"Don’t worry. I’ll go take a look tomorrow."
"I’ll go with you."
"You just got back. Rest for a few days, then we’ll talk," Caesar said with a smile. His Light Brain vibrated with an incoming ssage. He glanced down at it. "One mont. I need to step out."
"Okay."
Caesar gave her a light kiss on the cheek, then rose and went to the study. There, he projected a hologram of a blond man.
