The Beast King was quick to suppress the news, but the truth couldn’t be contained. Especially when it ca to a secret of the Royal Family, which was always the most tantalizing gossip. Interested parties had already leaked the information, and by evening, it reached Sang Luo’s ears through the servants’ idle chatter.
When Caesar returned, radiating a cold aura, Sang Luo voiced her suspicion. "You didn’t kill the Princess, did you?"
"Yes and no. To be precise, the Old Beast King did it with his own hands."
Caesar wrapped an arm around her soft waist and led her into the room. The mont he took her hand, a series of images flooded into Sang Luo’s mind.
「The previous night. The Royal Palace.」
All was silent.
Sophie Asate appeared in the Beast King’s chambers, her hair disheveled. Her eyes were filled with hatred. A dagger was hidden in her sleeve, and she lunged, stabbing directly at the Beast King!
She scread, "You old bastard! How dare you remove my womb! Die! Just die!"
With the Beast King’s power, how could he not have sensed soone breaking into his chambers? But when he saw Sophie Asate’s face—so similar to soone from his past—and her crazed, hateful expression, he froze for a rare instant.
He muttered a na, "Anano..."
SHLICK! The sharp blade pierced his arm. Egarli Yalan’s face twisted, and he clutched his bleeding right arm with one hand. The power of a peak Beast King erupted from him, and in an instant, Sophie Asate was obliterated.
The Old Beast King’s expression turned grim. He threw on a robe and strode outside.
"Guards!"
"Search the entire palace!"
...
The vision ended, and Sang Luo opened her eyes. Sophie Asate had tried to assassinate the Beast King in the middle of the night, enraging him. Even her few consorts couldn’t escape; they were all charged with treason and executed along with her.
Rumor had it that the Beast King doted on this princess, who was not of his blood, treating her as if she were his own daughter. Seeing the true nature of their relationship now, it was all rather baffling.
A sudden thought struck Sang Luo. She looked at Caesar. "Don’t tell you used your spiritual power to control the Princess?"
"When one’s spiritual power Cultivation reaches a state of mastery, it’s possible to control a person’s mind to a certain extent, turning them into an enslaved puppet." Caesar, however, disdained using such thods on a female. "She already harbored resentnt toward the Beast King. I rely lit the fuse."
"But weren’t the two of them on good terms?"
"Sotis, what you see isn’t the truth. I only found out yesterday myself. Sophie Asate is a genetic female. On the day of her creation, the Beast King ordered her womb to be removed, ensuring she could never get pregnant... I just brought her resentnt for the Beast King to the surface. Even if I hadn’t acted, she would have, sooner or later."
"So there was a secret like that behind it all."
"Sophie Asate wanted to harm you." Caesar’s eyes instantly turned cold. "When I was searching the city yesterday, I extracted the mories of so suspects. That’s how I traced the matter back to the Royal Palace and to Sophie Asate."
"The last poisoning attempt was her doing. She secretly ordered a Bear Beast to do it, promising to beco his mate as a reward. When the plan failed, she flew into a rage out of humiliation. Then, she found a secret technique from sowhere and planned to have you secretly kidnapped for a blood exchange. She wanted to transfer your Fertility and Talent Ability to herself, and then kill you."
A chill ran down Sang Luo’s spine. That female was truly vicious. A wave of fear washed over her as she thought about what could have happened. "It’s a good thing you ca back in ti," she said. "Otherwise, with all alone at ho, and her lurking in the shadows while I was out in the open, I might have fallen for her sche. You would’ve never seen again."
"I’m here now. I won’t let anyone hurt you," Caesar said in a low voice. He appeared calm, but inwardly, he was terrified. His hand, gripping hers tightly, was slick with cold sweat. "The Beast Crystals I brought back this ti should be enough for you. I won’t leave again before you give birth."
"Mm."
Caesar carried Sang Luo to the bedroom and laid her on the bed.
He was about to leave when she pulled him onto the bed.
Sang Luo’s dark hair spilled across the bed. She tilted her head slightly to look at him, her face flushed with a shy red. Her smiling, crescent-shaped eyes were utterly bewitching.
Caesar’s breath hitched. He couldn’t tear his eyes away, his mouth suddenly dry.
"You haven’t spent ti with in so long... I’ve missed you," Sang Luo said, looking at his refined, exquisitely handso face. Her heart was already racing with desire, and she reached out to pull off his clothes.
Arousal washed over Caesar, and his eyes filled with love and lust. He knew she would be fine—and that mating would even speed up their offspring’s developnt—so he had no reservations.
"Let take the lead on this." Caesar flipped over, reversing their positions. Before Sang Luo could even pull off his clothes, she found herself stripped bare in the blink of an eye, her alluring, snow-white body laid bare. She heard his low chuckle as he whispered those two words softly by her ear. A blush spread across her face as she pushed against his chest. "You’re impossible."
