Chapter 160: Chapter 104: The Two Beast Husbands Meet

Lou Xianyue saw her approach and set down the scroll in his hands. His Adam’s apple bobbed.

“Sang—”

“Why pass up the good fortune of holding a beautiful, warm woman in your arms? How could you bear to leave me all alone in an empty room?” Sang Luo scooted over and perched on the edge of the desk, leaning back on her hands. A playful smile touched her lips. She was like a demoness sent to bewitch the world!

Lou Xianyue’s handsome face flushed an even deeper shade of red, and even the tips of his ears burned. He lowered his gaze, not quite daring to look at her.

Sang Luo pouted at his dull reaction and casually picked up a document from the desk for a look.

It was completely untouched.

Several of the documents were even upside down.

She teased, “For a Monarch… you’re a little incompetent…”

Lou Xianyue had been in a deep sleep for many years. He never had any interest in managing such miscellaneous tasks, always delegating them to his subordinates. Why would he ever genuinely sit down and approve documents?

“Ahem… I have been somewhat neglectful,” he admitted with a faint smile. “The palace is still in want of a new mistress to help me manage these trivial affairs.”

“What a shame,” Sang Luo said breezily, feigning ignorance of the hope in his words. “I’m not good at managing things either. I’m afraid I can’t help you…”

Lou Xianyue let out a soft sigh. He pulled the very improper Sang Luo onto his lap, then primly straightened the collar of her dress. ’She’s so uninhibited. What if someone else saw her like this? Most of the guards on duty in the palace are young, virile Male Beasts. I wouldn’t be able to stop myself from gouging out their eyes…’

Only after carefully adjusting her dress did he speak. “You don’t need to be good at managing things. As long as you can stay by my side and keep me company, that’s all that matters.”

Sang Luo didn’t reply. Instead, she toyed with a lock of his silver hair, wrapping it around her finger. Changing the subject, she asked, “I’m leaving tomorrow. Do you really plan to spend the night alone in the study? Is there nothing you want?”

“I…” Lou Xianyue’s ears burned. He shot her a look full of hidden anticipation, but he didn’t know what to say.

Sang Luo felt anxious just watching him. She leaned down and planted a kiss on his cheek. “SMOOCH!” Then, she whispered in his ear, “Your job isn’t done yet. There are still some spots on me that aren’t clean. Tonight… you can help me clean them up properly…”

The hand Lou Xianyue had on her waist suddenly tightened, and his blue eyes darkened. The moment he heard her say, “Ah Ze, I want you so much too,” he could no longer conceal his desire and lowered his head to kiss her soft lips.

At the same time, his long, elegant fingers slipped under her dress, slowly tracing a path upward…

…

Utterly exhausted from their romp in the study, Sang Luo’s arms were limp and boneless, barely able to cling to him. Lou Xianyue carried her back to the bedchamber and laid her gently on the bed. He lowered his head to kiss her collarbone, his hand stroking the delicate curve of her waist as he resumed his unfinished business.

’She started this fire. Naturally, it had to be completely extinguished…’

However, mindful that Sang Luo had to leave the next day, he didn’t want to wear her out completely. As the night wore on, Lou Xianyue forced down his remaining desire and finally let her be.

Sang Luo fell into a deep sleep in his arms. Lou Xianyue gazed at her lovely, flushed face, the pad of his thumb gently brushing across her full, moist lips. His heart swelled with an irrepressible feeling. He leaned down and kissed her cheek again. ’So adorable.’

The Luminous Pearls in the palace went out.

The room sank into a tranquil, romantic darkness.

Ever since the noble female arrived at the Sea Palace with her child, the palace had grown much livelier. The servants took one look at the noble female’s exceptional beauty and knew she had to be the birth mother of the little Mermaid Young Master!

’His Majesty really came through! He finally brought her back!’

’And she even came with another new Young Master in tow!’

The Sea Beast Beastmen had never seen such a fluffy, adorable little cub. Everyone in the palace, from top to bottom, absolutely adored Little Zhi Xin. They all hoped His Majesty would work a little harder and add a few more new lives to the cold, lonely Sea Palace.

All the Beastmen in the palace were secretly buzzing. Judging by the faint sounds coming from the study tonight—sounds that could make anyone blush—the long-celibate male Sea Beasts were nearly driven into an early mating season.

’Who knew? His Majesty was either celibate or he went all out. Once he broke his fast, he really got wild.’

’If it were actually His Majesty’s mating season, who knows if she could handle it.’

After Uncle Su finished tending to the cub, he came out to find several Beastmen huddled outside the bedchamber. “It’s the middle of the night,” he chided in a low voice. “What are you all doing gathered here? Hurry and go back!”

The few Male Beasts scurried away.

Uncle Su glanced in the direction of the room, a gratified smile appearing on his old face.

’Perhaps the palace will soon be welcoming another new Young Master.’

…

She had planned to leave the next morning, but Sang Luo slept soundly until almost afternoon before she finally woke.

When she awoke, Lou Xianyue had been awake for a while.

He was resting his chin on his hand, quietly watching her. A faint smile graced his gentle, tranquil blue eyes. The sight made Sang Luo blush as she couldn’t help but recall the passionate entanglements of the previous night…

’This guy looks so innocent and reserved, but I have to say, the older the ginger, the spicier the bite! His ferocity when he was aroused, his dominance in bed… it was almost too much for me to handle!’

’I begged him to stop several times, but it only seemed to excite him more. He was simply relentless.’

’Finally, when he saw I was completely exhausted, he was merciful enough to let me go.’

Sang Luo quickly threw on her clothes and got out of bed, shooting him a reproachful glare. “Why didn’t you wake me up sooner? I’m running late!”

“You were sleeping so soundly, I didn’t have the heart to wake you.” Lou Xianyue also rose from the bed and came over to help her tie the sash on the back of her dress. “Won’t you eat something before you go?” he asked.

“No, I’ll eat when I get back.”

’I’ve really been delayed for too long. I need to get the child back to Lan Cang and let him know we’re safe. I can’t imagine how worried he must be.’

Lou Xianyue went to a side hall to fetch the child. When he returned, Sang Luo stepped forward to take the baby from him, but he unexpectedly took a step back, cradling the child protectively. “Let me escort you back personally,” he said. “Besides, I’d like to pay a visit to Zhi Xin’s other father.”

“The Sea Emperor is busy with his official duties. There’s no need to trouble you with such a small matter.” A dark look crossed Sang Luo’s face. She really didn’t want this guy tagging along.

He smiled. “I’m not busy. I was asleep for many years, and the Sea Palace ran just fine. My presence is hardly essential.”

’I wouldn’t have expected it from his mild-mannered appearance, but once this man makes up his mind, no one can change it.’

If she didn’t take him with her, he wouldn’t give her the child.

There was no other choice.

So, Sang Luo had no choice but to take Lou Xianyue back to Ice-breaking City.

Sang Luo carried the child and headed to the City Lord Mansion first.

Before she even reached the door, Lan Cang sensed their return. He teleported in front of them in a flash, pulling them both into a tight embrace. The joy of having them back nearly overwhelmed him. “Luoluo, you’re finally back! I’ve been worried sick these past few days. I thought something had happened to you and the child.”

“I’m fine. The mate bond is still here, so you know nothing could have happened to me. I was just delayed a bit and came back late.”

Sang Luo looked up from his embrace and lovingly caressed his face. She had only been gone for a few days, but he had grown haggard. His face was a little thinner, making his features look sharper and more rugged, and a light stubble dusted his chin.

’With me and the child away, he couldn’t even be bothered to take care of himself.’

Lan Cang quickly took the child from Sang Luo’s arms. He saw that she was safe and sound, with a full, round little belly. It seemed she had even grown a little since she left.

“AWOOO~”

Seeing their mother and little sister return, the two little Wolf Pups, Little Stone and Zhuizui, came bounding happily out of the house and began circling their legs.

Lan Cang set Little Zhi Xin down, letting the three cubs go play in the courtyard.

He then turned his attention to Lou Xianyue, who had followed them.

“And this is…?”
