Chapter 169: Chapter 113: Such a Good Little Female, If Only I Had Met You Sooner

After feeding Blue Eucalyptus, Lou Xianyue held him and walked around outside for a while. Soon, Blue Eucalyptus fell asleep in the crook of his arm.

Uncle Su approached, a wide smile spreading across his old face when he saw the Young Master’s sweet and peaceful expression as he slept. “The Young Master’s health looks so much better than before. I never expected the Queen to personally attend the christening and give the Young Master such a wonderful blessing…”

“She adores children. Of course she would attend the christening.”

His eyes softened with a gentle smile. He lightly caressed Blue Eucalyptus’s face. The little one’s cheek was rosy and healthy, warm to the touch—not cool and damp like an ordinary Merfolk’s… He must have gotten that from Sang’er.

’He hadn’t told Sang Luo beforehand because he wanted to know what her true hopes for the child were.’

“Your Majesty, you should return to the palace and rest. Just leave the Young Master in my care. The Queen has finally returned after so long; you must seize this opportunity,” Uncle Su said with a knowing smile.

Lou Xianyue nodded and handed the child to him. “Little An is much healthier now, so he no longer needs to be raised in the Spirit Pool. Besides, the Spirit Pool is too far from the palace, making it inconvenient for Sang’er to visit. Have a pool built in Zhaoen Hall and let Little An live there during his infancy.”

“Of course, Your Majesty. Rest assured, I will send someone to see to it at once.”

Uncle Su took the child but noticed Lou Xianyue wasn’t returning to the palace immediately. A thought seemed to strike him, and his tone became worried. “Your Majesty… are you going to that place again?”

“Yes. I haven’t been in some time. I need to check if the seal has loosened.” Lou Xianyue’s figure then vanished.

Uncle Su sighed, gazing in a certain direction into the distance. His gaze then fell upon Blue Eucalyptus in his arms, his expression growing more worried. ’The fate of the King Shark Clan… I wonder what the future holds for the Young Master…’

…

Lou Xianyue returned to their bedchamber in the middle of the night.

He walked barefoot across the spotless white marble, his blue robes trailing behind him. His otherworldly silver hair seemed a bit duller than usual, having lost some of its luster.

He walked to the bedside and saw Sang Luo curled up asleep, and his handsome face softened once more.

Lou Xianyue sat on the edge of the bed and reached out to smooth her slightly messy hair, then stroked her warm, soft cheek. ’This feeling is truly wonderful.’

Many documents were piled up in the study. Most could be handled by his subordinates, but quite a few required his personal review. Lou Xianyue had originally planned to spend some time at night finishing the backlog of official business, but when he was in the study, he couldn’t focus on a single document.

During his seclusion for Artifact Refining a few days ago, his mind had also been filled with thoughts of her, her image constantly appearing in his mind…

So vivid, so full of life, and so captivating.

It made it impossible for him to quiet his mind.

So he had simply returned to the palace.

Lou Xianyue took off his outer robe and lay down beside Sang Luo. Inhaling her scent, yet afraid of waking her, he gently and carefully gathered the delicate woman into a loose embrace. Only then did he fall asleep peacefully…

…

The next morning, as soon as Sang Luo woke up, she found an exquisitely handsome, silver-haired man beside her.

It was enough to put her in a good mood for the whole day～

“Ah Ze, when did you get back? Why didn’t you let me know?”

She reached out and gently touched Lou Xianyue’s lovely face, which was as fair and smooth as a peeled lychee. She then stroked his long, cool, silver hair from time to time. ’I wonder what he was doing last night. He looks a little tired, sleeping so soundly. Is he still not awake?’

Emboldened, Sang Luo leaned in and kissed his cheek, then his lips. Merfolk have very low body temperatures, so his lips felt pleasantly cool and refreshing.

She playfully rubbed the ice-blue gemstone pendant on his earlobe until the skin flushed red, while her other hand gave his chest a squeeze.

A moment later, a low, restrained groan of pleasure came from the man beside her. “Sang’er, it’s so early… I can’t take you toying with me like this…”

Before she could react, he flipped her over and pinned her beneath him. His waterfall of silver hair scattered and intertwined with her black locks. Lou Xianyue’s body temperature had clearly risen, and one of his hands slid up her thigh, exploring upward.

“Are you in your mating season?”

“No.” Lou Xianyue lowered his head and bit her neck, his other hand moving to unfasten the strap of her clothing. His voice was husky and bewitching. “Don’t you know, Sang’er… A Male Beast is most vulnerable to temptation in the morning…”

’After all her rubbing and squeezing, even a Saint would lose control!’

’She should really count herself lucky this isn’t my mating season!’

Sang Luo blushed and gave his chest a light push. “Didn’t you say we couldn’t have a child?”

Lou Xianyue skillfully slipped off her undergarments, his breath catching as he stared at the tender white skin before him.

“This isn’t about having a child. I want you.”

“But…”

Lou Xianyue lowered his head and kissed her, swallowing her words.

’Male Beasts usually do *that* for the sake of procreation, but the ones she has seem more enthusiastic about the act itself, putting having children aside…’ Sang Luo soon had no mind for such musings, completely surrendering to his passionate offensive.

Their fooling around lasted the entire day.

When Sang Luo woke again, it was morning once more—the morning of the next day.

The look of passion hadn’t completely faded from Lou Xianyue’s face. He gave her a satiated kiss on the lips, held her tight, and deeply inhaled her scent. “Sang’er…” Neither of them spoke, quietly savoring the lingering, romantic afterglow. After a moment, Sang Luo, blushing, asked him to get out for a bit. She wanted to get dressed and out of bed, but he wouldn’t let her go. In a low, husky voice, he asked, “Are you going back to the North Continent already?”

“No, it’s just… It’s sticky and uncomfortable down there. I want to wash up.” Her face grew even redder as she shot him a reproachful glare.

Only then did Lou Xianyue pull away. He cast a Water Cleaning Technique on them both, making them as good as new.

He then gave her a placating kiss on the cheek. “I thought you were going to go find your other Beast Husbands.”

“The great Sea Emperor feels so insecure?” she said with a smile.

“…To be honest, I’m quite jealous of that Wolf Beast. His talent is average, yet he receives so much of your affection,” he sighed softly.

Sang Luo shook her head. “I put the same amount of care into all of you. For a Beast Husband with less strength, as long as he is good to me and the children, I am very happy. But even if a Beast Husband is incredibly powerful, if he defies my wishes, I wouldn’t give him a second glance.”

’She might seek new Beast Husbands based on their power level, but she would never neglect her official ones because of where they ranked. That would be too hurtful and irresponsible.’

’She felt guilty that she couldn’t offer any of them her sole, undivided affection, so she did her best to be fair with the companionship she provided. It was inevitable, however, that the depth of her feelings would vary. She was the type to develop affection over time, and since Lan Cang had spent the most time by her side, her feelings for him were a little deeper. But the same would happen with Lou Xianyue. As they spent more time together, her feelings for him would grow stronger, too.’

Lou Xianyue gently stroked her long hair. “Such a wonderful little female… If only I had met you sooner.”

At the same time, he sighed to himself. ’How could feelings ever be divided up fairly? In matters of the heart, rationality is the coldest thing of all. It seems no one has truly entered her heart yet. It’s true that Sang’er likes them, but none of them is her one, profound, absolute love. Still, just being able to share these tender moments with her… makes his heart… very content.’

“It’s not too late now,” Sang Luo said, giving Lou Xianyue a kiss on the lips with a beaming smile. “I like Ah Ze very much.”

Lou Xianyue’s eyes burned brightly. ’No, content? I’m anything but content. The fact that no Male Beast has truly won her heart is good news for a latecomer like me.’

’I want to be the first.’
