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

Chapter 4 I Only Want Your Children

“I don’t care about her fertility. No one can take her away from me.”

“This is a rule set by the chief long ago. Manla is only acting according to orders. You are defying the chief!”

A peak Rank 4 bear beastman stood beside Manla. He had a square face and a large build, exuding a fierce and domineering aura. He was easily two meters tall, but his presence didn't quite overshadow Lan Cang.

Lan Cang was once unmatched, and many admired him. Even in his current state, some would still stand by him. But equally, many envied him and couldn't resist kicking him when he was down, wanting him to fall into the dust and never rise again.

Manla's face turned from pale to green, filled with fear. Although Lan Cang had always been indifferent to females, he had never been so angry at anyone before.

In that instant, his eyes looked like he wanted to kill her!

“I… I didn’t do anything to her. She was the one who broke the tribe’s rules. I was just following orders. She lives in the Kodo tribe, and for so many days, she has eaten, drank, and used wound medicine from the tribe's resources. She should abide by the tribe's rules…”

“Her food, drink, accommodation, and wound medicine are all provided by me. I have never touched the tribe's resources. I paid the witch doctor for the wound medicine with crystals in advance,” Lan Cang said calmly.

Over the years, he had experienced the coldness of human relationships and would not incur any favors. He had almost severed contact with the beastmen of the Kodo tribe and rarely lived in the tribe. Furthermore, the resources he exchanged from hunting high-level star beasts in previous years far exceeded the benefits the Kodo tribe could offer him. He hadn't asked the tribe to return anything, out of respect for the old chief, fulfilling all obligations.

Moreover…

His narrow wolf eyes were chillingly terrifying, and the corners of his lips curled into a wicked smile. “You seem to have forgotten that I am not a beastman of the Kodo tribe, and naturally, my partner isn't either. You have no right to threaten me with the tribe to take her away.”

Manla's face was unsightly. “Don’t forget that the old chief saved you back then. Are you planning to leave the tribe?”

“What I have done for the Kodo tribe over the years is enough to repay the old chief's life-saving grace,” Lan Cang said coldly as he carried Sang Luo, “If the chief really said that, let him come and tell me himself. Otherwise, if there is a next time, I will not be merciful!”

In that instant, it was as if the old Lan Cang had returned, aloof and intimidating. No one dared to say another word.

Aya and the others were stunned. Lan Cang carried Sang Luo all the way home, and countless gazes fell on her. She shyly buried her head in his chest. Sensing the little female's unease and fear, Lan Cang held her tighter. “Don’t be afraid. With me here, I will never let anything happen to you.”

“I swear.”

He cupped her small face in his hands. Looking at the suddenly enlarged handsome face, Sang Luo's heart skipped a beat. She lowered her head, grabbed his slender hand, and gently drew a few strokes in his hot palm.

【Are… are you really not concerned?】

Her body was healthy, but she was a human and not a true beastman female. There should be reproductive isolation between humans and beastmen, right? Manla was right; being with her might lead to him having no descendants.

The beast world seemed to value reproduction. Countless male beasts would risk their lives to please females and obtain offspring… Was that really what he thought? Or was he just saying it to others in a moment of urgency?

【I… I might really be infertile, which is why I was abandoned by the tribe.】

Sang Luo cautiously probed, anxiously awaiting his reaction.

Lan Cang was stunned for a moment, then remained silent for a long time.

Sang Luo's heart leaped into her throat.

“Yeah, I don’t mind.”

He lowered his head and kissed her forehead, then smiled.

Lan Cang rarely smiled. When expressionless, he gave off a cold and unapproachable aura, but when he smiled, it was like a melting glacier, extremely gentle.

“Whether you can have children or not, I don’t care, but my children can only be born from you; otherwise, I won’t want them.”

Lan Cang had never been particularly enthusiastic about mating and reproduction. After being injured, he had resigned himself to being single for life. Whether he had children or not was irrelevant.

Now that he had a little female he truly liked, it was a great gift from heaven.

He was content.

Sang Luo's heart beat faster. She had never given up on the idea of returning to her original world. Initially, she had taken the initiative to be close to and please Lan Cang simply because she was unfamiliar with the place and needed to find a strong backer to ensure her safety and avoid being sent to that female shelter.

At this moment, ripples genuinely stirred in her heart, and she felt complex emotions, unsure of what to say.

Her initial motive was impure, making it difficult to accept Lan Cang's straightforward and pure love. Her eyes felt a little sore. 'I'm sorry.'

Seeing Sang Luo lower her head and remain silent, Lan Cang assumed she was still saddened by her infertility. He patted her head comfortingly without saying anything and went home.

Lan Cang had been leaving early and returning late more frequently these days. Sang Luo's life hadn't changed much from the previous period. Occasionally, she would encounter Manla on the road, but the other female would just ignore her with disgust, not engaging in any other small actions in secret.

Lan Cang had been accustomed to a hard life since childhood and didn't have high demands for living conditions, but the small mud house of less than forty square meters was indeed a bit crowded for two people. Sang Luo returned in the evening and saw several beastmen carrying hundreds or thousands of pounds of stone materials into the yard. Seeing this, Li Man and the others also called their partners to come and help. More than a dozen strong male beastmen worked together, and in just a few days, a new small courtyard rose from the ground, expanding the interior area to more than one hundred and fifty square meters. In addition to the two people's room, there were also several storage rooms.

On the evening of the completion, Lan Cang and Li Man's partner, You Lu, personally cooked to reward everyone.

Pamir, a drunkard, specially brought three jars of barley wine from his family's storage room. The mellow and rich aroma of the wine was refreshing.

Lan Cang also specially made a slightly lighter-flavored wine-soaked chicken for the females to eat.

Doji and the others were drooling, exclaiming that they had never eaten such delicious food in their lives.

It turned out that not every male was a chef.

On the contrary, most males were only concerned with hunting and earning money. In the harsh wilderness, eating raw meat was common. Most people didn't even know how to prepare ingredients. Some females had weaker herbivore beastmen in their families who had some research on cooking. Lan Cang was considered a rare rebellious son of the wolf tribe.

Aya silently drank most of a jar of wine. After a few cups, she became dizzy and burst into tears while hugging Sang Luo. “I… I’m so envious of you. How could a mute like you get Lan Cang? I chased him for so long back then, and he didn’t even give me a second glance. If, hic~ if…”

She threw up.

Lan Cang propped his face with one hand and gave a look. The half-drunk Ke Mu quickly helped his partner sober up.

After they had their fill of food and drink, people gradually left. Lan Cang cleared the messy table, and Sang Luo helped move the remaining jar of barley wine into the storage room. Before she could leave, she was embraced. The underground storage room was dark and dim, and she could smell the clear aroma of wine and a familiar cool fragrance emanating from the man. Without guessing, she knew who it was.

She turned around, only to be held even tighter, his hand landing on her chest.

“I have nothing to do with A'Ya. I haven't even spoken a few words to her. I know she has feelings for me, but I don't like her. I rejected her long ago. Once, during a beast tide, she was stranded, and I rescued her as a matter of course. Other than that, I haven't had any other interactions with her.” Lan Cang's forehead rested against hers, his voice with a hint of low, hoarse laziness, strangely alluring.

Sang Luo raised an eyebrow. She hadn't even questioned him yet, but he had already taken the initiative to confess.

However, she didn't really care too much in her heart. If she really found a way to leave in the future, she would definitely leave without hesitation. As for Lan Cang… Lan Cang was a person of this world, and the two of them were destined to be from different worlds, with little chance of a future. If Lan Cang could meet a female beast who truly loved him, she would also be very happy.

Lan Cang suddenly cupped her face in his hands, his face flushed. He looked directly into her eyes, but couldn't guess her emotions, and a sense of unease that he couldn't control rose in his heart.

“Luo Luo… I… I really like you, I want… I want to be with you…”

Wow.

He threw up.

Sang Luo quickly supported the man who had fainted. No one had said that he was a lightweight.

What's the point of drinking with his brothers if he's a lightweight!

The man was tall and upright, and also heavy. Sang Luo struggled to help him into the house and threw him onto the bed. Lan Cang's messy black short hair covered half of his eyebrows and eyes, as well as the scar. His appearance was cold, handsome, and otherworldly. Sang Luo was a little dazed. No wonder this man's cultivation realm had declined, and he still had such a flourishing romantic aura.

He really is handsome.

Sang Luo had chosen the north-facing room that faced the sun. The furniture and everything hadn't had time to be prepared yet. She took the quilt and went to sleep on the sofa. She had also helped a lot during the day, and as soon as she lay down, drowsiness swept over her like a tide, and she quickly fell into a deep sleep.

In the middle of the night, Lan Cang on the bed woke up. He rubbed his throbbing temples and looked up, only to see Sang Luo rolling off the sofa with the quilt.

…She didn't even wake up?

He paused for a moment, then carried her back to the bed.

…

…

Morning.

Hot, so hot. Sang Luo was completely awakened by the heat. She felt like she was wrapped in a ball of fire. She suddenly opened her eyes and met a huge wolf head. She almost let out a scream, but fortunately, reason quickly returned. She was now in the world of beastmen. This wolf was… Lan Cang?

The alcohol fumes on his body had dissipated for the most part. After Sang Luo woke up, he also quickly woke up. He licked her face, accompanied by two cracking sounds of bones. The black wolf turned into a naked, handsome man, lying face to face with her, big eyes staring at small eyes.

The soft touch in her hand suddenly hardened. Sang Luo felt like she had been struck by lightning. Glancing out of the corner of her eye, she saw that her hand was vaguely around Lan Cang's lean and powerful waist.

Just a little bit more…

Just a little bit more and it would have reached a suggestive place…

Her face instantly turned red, and she quickly retracted her naughty hand.

There was a lively commotion outside the courtyard, which resolved her embarrassment.

【What's going on outside?】

“Today is the day of the city's market. I almost forgot.” Lan Cang came back to his senses and quickly put on his clothes, intending to go out. “More than a hundred kilometers outside the Kordor Tribe, there is a very prosperous city. A market is held there only once a year before the cold season. There are many good things on the market that are not commonly seen in the tribe, and there are even technological products circulating from the West Continent. I should be away for a slightly longer time this time.”

West Continent?

Sang Luo rarely heard a new term.

【Are there… many continents here? Which continent is the Kordor Tribe on?】

“Yes, there are a total of four continental plates under our feet, which can be simply regarded as the North Continent, the South Continent, the East Continent, and the West Continent. The four continents do not interact with each other, and each forms its own world. Each continent has different customs and cultures.”

“The Kordor Tribe is located in the middle of the East Continent and the West Continent, in a border area that has not yet been divided into forces. It was rebuilt on a war-torn ruin.”

“The North Continent is frigid all year round and is known as the Extreme Cold North. There is almost no trace of life. The South Continent is the most mysterious. It is said that no beastman has been able to come out of there alive, so there is very little recorded information today. I have not been to the East Continent and do not know much about it, but I heard that the beastmen there value strength extremely…”

“The West Continent is the most prosperous continent among the four continents, with a booming economy and advanced technology. It has mastered the most advanced technology on this land, and everything you have seen in the tribe will be two different worlds. It is a… very desirable paradise.” Lan Cang knew that she had not lived with the tribe members much and was not clear about basic common sense, so he patiently explained.

Seeing her longing and anticipation, Lan Cang couldn't bear to shatter her fantasy. In fact, the West Continent was not a beautiful place. On the contrary, for many people, it was a hell with no hope of survival.

Not only for males, but also for females…

He had come from the West Continent to seek a livelihood.

Thinking of everything that had happened back then, Lan Cang's face turned cold.

Sang Luo noticed his change.

【What's wrong?】

“Don't worry, I'm fine. I just thought of some bad memories, but life in the West Continent's urban area is indeed better than here, Luo Luo, do you want to go?”

He didn't want to go back to that place again, but if Sang Luo wanted to go, he would take her there without hesitation.

Sang Luo thought about it seriously and shook her head.

She wasn't sure if she would really stay in the beast world in the future and didn't covet the prosperity here.

Prosperity is a high tower built from the blood and flesh of countless people at the bottom.

She still understood this principle.

“Okay, we won't go to the West Continent, but I will definitely give you a good life. We won't stay in the Kordor Tribe forever.” Lan Cang glanced at the increasingly crowded figures outside, then turned his head and earnestly told her, “When I finish things there, I will come back as soon as possible. Remember, Luo Luo, you are not a person of the Kordor Tribe, so there is no need to be bound by their rules. Don't let others bully you.”

Sang Luo knew that he was alluding to Man La and her group. Lan Cang had said harsh words before, so she definitely wouldn't dare to do anything openly, but she might make some small moves in secret.

Lan Cang originally wanted to take her to the city together this time, but the relevant matters in the city had not been arranged yet, and the journey was too arduous and tiring, and her body was not well, so he could only delay it for a while.

After Lan Cang left, Sang Luo's life didn't change much, except that her appetite wasn't as good.

She didn't want to cause trouble, but trouble would always come to her.
