Future Beast World: Pampered by beautiful women, many children and good fortune

Chapter 39: A Farewell Gift?

Sang Luo flipped through a few pages of the monthly exam report card that Glenn Tuya had given her. In the monthly exam that had just ended a few days ago, Lan Ruo had entered the top ten in the class.

For an ordinary wolf beast who wasn't even a mutated beast, this result was already very good, even considered exceptionally outstanding.

Glenn Tuya saw that she was paying special attention to this wolf beast and said a few more words about Lan Ruo's recent situation.

To be honest, he was also very satisfied with this student. Unlike those aristocratic children he usually dealt with, he was quiet, hardworking, and down-to-earth. He would also give him some pointers in class. This student's family situation wasn't very good, but with his grades, he could get a scholarship, which could subsidize a lot of household expenses.

Sang Luo remembered Lan Cang mentioning once that he grew up in the slums and had to support a younger brother, going out to work and earn money at the age of seven or eight.

The class stratification in the West Continent was rigid, and the gap between the rich and the poor was huge. No matter how outstanding the abilities of the bottom-level beastmen were, good jobs would not fall on their heads. They could only do some odd jobs, and barely making ends meet was already considered good.

Ordinary beastmen might not even earn enough for a year's tuition at Arans Academy in their entire lives.

Lan Cang could only take the risk of joining the mercenaries to afford his younger brother's expensive tuition.

Lan Ruo was considered lucky compared to Lan Cang… She remembered that Lan Cang liked to read, but he had never gone to school or received formal education.

Sang Luo handed Lan Ruo a bag. She had been too rushed during their last separation and forgot to return this important thing, "This is what your brother gave me back then. Now, I'm returning it to your brother, which can be considered returning it to its rightful owner."

Lan Ruo touched the heavy weight in his hand, startled. He opened it and took a look, his face changing, and quickly closed it again.

He looked at Sang Luo in shock and confusion, "These are…"

He had never seen so many beast crystals in his life!

Almost all of them were high-level beast crystals!

Sang Luo said, "If you have anything you want to ask, just ask your brother. He has a lot of things he hasn't told you, and it's not appropriate for an outsider like me to say anything…"

Lan Cang publicly claimed to be just a mercenary, but in fact, he did a lot of illegal activities in the dark for money, earning a lot of crystal stones. He definitely didn't tell Lan Ruo about these. Sang Luo also didn't want to say anything more, so as not to bring disaster to Lan Ruo, which Lan Cang definitely wouldn't want to see.

"Okay, okay! Please rest assured, noble female, I will definitely pass these on to my brother!" The young man lowered his head and stared at his toes, shyly saying, "Also, thank you, noble female, for helping me in the elimination round last time. Otherwise, I might not be here."

Sang Luo smiled and said, "You ran so fast back then, I thought you wanted to be ungrateful ~"

"No, no, I just… just…" He was too shy. He had never spoken to such a beautiful and noble female before, so he ran away subconsciously.

Sang Luo didn't tease him anymore, her smile fading a little, "Also, please give your brother a few words for me, let him… be good to himself."

When Lan Ruo returned home, he saw that Lan Cang had returned. He happily asked, "Brother, you came back so early this time! It's the first time I've seen you so smooth."

"The mission failed, so I came back," Lan Cang said casually, taking a sip of water.

"Really?" Lan Ruo saw the spring breeze smile on his face, which didn't look like a failed mission. He thought he had just completed a big job.

Lan Ruo remembered clearly that two months ago, when Lan Cang had just returned, he was lifeless. He was still alive, but he was like a walking corpse who had lost his soul.

This time, he came back after a failed mission, but it was like his soul had come back too!

Lan Ruo was happy, "Brother, do you remember the sister I told you about last time who helped me in the competition? She seems to know you and asked me to give this to you."

Lan Cang took the bag. After opening it, he didn't speak for a long time.

"… What's her name?"

"Sang Luo."

"…"

"Brother, you… why are you crying?"

"You saw it wrong," Lan Cang took a deep breath, turned his face away, closed the bag again, and got up to go outside, "This thing was given to her by me. Since I gave it to her, I won't ask for it back. You should return it."

"But judging from the sister's appearance, she probably won't accept it again."

"This is my dowry for her!"

"…" Lan Ruo stood still as if struck by lightning. So, there really was a relationship between the two of them.

But judging from the looks of it, his brother was rejected.

"Brother, do you want to open it again and take a look? I took a look on the way here. There seems to be something inside, maybe it's something she specially sent to you…"

As soon as Lan Cang heard this, he hurried back halfway, opened the bag, and saw that the crystal stones inside had hardly been touched. His chest suddenly felt dull pain again. Thinking about it, that was right. Now, the one by her side was a King Beast, so she didn't lack crystal stones… Suddenly, a touch of silver attracted his attention. Lan Cang took out the necklace hidden in the crystal stones.

The pendant was not exquisitely carved, and was even a little rough and clumsy, but it was definitely not perfunctory. It could be seen that it was carved with great care, and it could be vaguely recognized as the shape of a wolf's head, with a blue crystal stone inlaid in the middle, emitting a faint energy fluctuation.

Lan Cang's breathing became heavy. This was… made by her own hands?

A wisp of divine consciousness penetrated into it, and it contained a lot of healing medicine.

"This is a space necklace! I saw a teacher in the class wearing a space bracelet. I heard that things can be stored inside, which is very convenient to carry around. It is a treasure that can only be refined by space-type beastmen. It is priceless. It was given to you by that noble female, brother!"

Lan Cang laughed softly, a farewell gift?

His heart was really bitter and sweet, and he didn't know what to do at all. He solemnly put away the necklace, and still planned to return the crystal stones to her.

Luo Luo was pregnant now, and the energy required by the offspring of the King Beast was huge. Even if she didn't lack beast crystals now, she would still need a lot of beast crystals. It was better to have something than nothing.

"Take out all the beast crystals I gave you when I came back last time. I'll leave you with the tuition for the first year, and you can transfer the rest to that sister."

"Ah?"

"Ah what? Hurry up. Didn't you find a job in the Imperial Capital? You should be able to solve your own tuition fees. You don't need me to take care of you anymore… When I was your age, I could support you!"

Before having a partner, beastmen valued their relatives the most. After having a partner, male beastmen would only concentrate on supporting their partners. Lan Ruo didn't expect that this trip would kick him out of the house! Urged, he quickly rummaged through boxes and cabinets and took out all his tuition fees… Ah no, it was all his brother's dowry.

After dinner, Lan Cang said to Lan Ruo,

"This time I came back to tell you that I'm leaving."

"Brother, where are you going?" Lan Ruo wasn't too surprised. Lan Cang had a mission, so he was often not at home. Last time, he disappeared for three or four years.

"North Continent."

Lan Ruo was stunned, and the chopsticks fell to the ground, "… Why did you suddenly think of going there?"

The extremely cold northern border was barren and harsh.

The extremely harsh environment created extremely evil and powerful star beasts.

Some beastmen who tried to break through their limits would go to the North Continent to hone their strength and improve their realm.

But, nine out of ten would die.

The North Continent was also known as the Death Battlefield.

…

Sang Luo's recent appetite was terrifying.

The crystal stones that Caesar left before he left were not enough to eat at all. She was almost starving to death, and her dad hadn't come back yet.

If he didn't come back, his cub would starve to death!

Sang Luo lay on the sofa, touching her increasingly round belly, sighing and sighing.

She could only chew on some jerky to relieve her hunger.

Lyon came back from the door holding a box, "Madam, did you buy something? I don't even know what's in it! It's so heavy!"

"Huh? I didn't buy anything," Sang Luo opened it and found that this box was actually full of beast crystals!

The level of the beast crystals was not very high, but the advantage was that there were many of them.

It simply solved her urgent need!

Sang Luo's mouth was almost watering, and without thinking, she took out a purple crystal and quickly took it, and the hunger in her stomach was finally relieved a little.

Sang Luo originally thought that Caesar was too busy to rush back from the East Continent, so he asked someone to send it back, but later found out that it was not.

At the beginning of each month, at most two or three days late, Sang Luo would receive such a box of beast crystals. There was no address or name on it, and she didn't know who sent it.

As time went on, the number of beast crystals sent by that person each time became more and more, and the level became higher and higher.

Until a long time later, Sang Luo received a transparent beast crystal that could only be obtained by hunting king-level star beasts. For the first time, a note was clipped in the box.

It was written on it.

【Luo Luo, I miss you so much】

Instantly, tears fell like rain.

This man really made it impossible for her to let go…
