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

Chapter 8: Her Voice is Healed

"So you do care about me?" The man held her tightly in his arms, his deep voice carrying endless affection, a soft chuckle laced with tenderness.

"Lan Cang!" Sang Luo wriggled out of his embrace.

"Luo Luo, your voice, it's healed?" Lan Cang was stunned, pulling her back onto his strong, well-built thighs, looking her up and down as if to confirm he wasn't hallucinating from his serious injuries.

Not only had he survived, but the little mute could now speak!

"Hmph, I'm not a mute. I was injured before, my vocal cords were torn, and I couldn't speak properly. But thanks to the beast crystals you've been feeding me, those crystals have excellent healing properties. Not only have my injuries almost healed, but my voice is better too."

Still straddling him, she wrapped her soft arms around his neck and couldn't resist pecking him on his handsome face. "Thank you, Lan Cang!"

Lan Cang's face flushed instantly. It was the first time he'd heard her speak, and it was just as he'd imagined… so lovely, soft and sweet, like the gentle chirping of a bird, melting his heart.

Overwhelmed with joy, he needed to express his feelings with action. He took her arm and lowered his head to kiss it, but Sang Luo suddenly frowned and hissed. Lan Cang immediately stopped, pulling open her clothes to see several layers of bandages wrapped around half of her chest, with blood seeping through.

His tug had reopened her wound.

"I'm sorry, Luo Luo, you're injured." He pursed his lips, his voice dim. "…I was the one who hurt you."

It wasn't a question, but a statement.

He had no memory of his berserker state, but the claw marks were clearly from his beast form. Lan Cang's voice trembled with a mix of joy and sorrow. "You… you went looking for me?"

"Mm."

"I'm sorry." He repeated, his heart aching, and slapped himself.

"Hey! It took me so much effort to bring you back. You finally woke up, don't abuse yourself again. Stay home these next few days and heal properly." Sang Luo grabbed his hand, feigning annoyance. "If you really feel sorry, then I'll punish you by telling me everything that happened during the patrol, word for word. What exactly happened that caused you to suddenly go berserk?"

"…It was an accident." Lan Cang frowned.

He had taken two beastmen to patrol the West Forest. The terrain there was very steep, and under normal circumstances, Star Beasts wouldn't roam in that area. Even if some Star Beasts did inhabit the West Forest, they were mostly low-level ones. Any high-level Star Beast with a bit of intelligence would choose the East Forest's well-concealed waterway to sneak attack the tribe at night.

So he brought very few people. But unexpectedly, a sixth-level Star Beast appeared in the West Forest!

A sixth-level Star Beast was considered a local tyrant in this area. The old Lan Cang wouldn't have feared a sixth-level Star Beast, but his current strength had declined. Even if he had recovered somewhat these past few days, he was capped at the fifth level. If this sixth-level Star Beast ran out, it would immediately endanger the tribe. He immediately covered the two beastmen's retreat to spread the news, and fought with the Star Beast.

Battle and blood would greatly induce the berserker gene in the beastmen's bodies.

The degree of berserker induction was directly proportional to talent.

That's what happened afterwards.

If he had brought a few more beastmen with him, they might have had a chance to fight. But Tu Zhu had only sent him two beastmen at the time. But indeed, no one would have anticipated this situation in advance, so no matter how you looked at it, it was just an accident.

Sang Luo had a feeling that things weren't that simple, it was too coincidental. But fortunately, Lan Cang had woken up, so she didn't think about it anymore.

"Right, Luo Luo, open your mouth, I'll feed you this."

Before Sang Luo could see what he had taken out of his pocket, he stuffed the cold, hard object into her mouth. Then, the stone turned into a familiar warm current that melted into her limbs, making her body feel warm and comfortable.

The wound on her chest was also completely healed, not even a scab could be seen.

Her eyes widened, it was the sixth-level crystal core.

"You killed that sixth-level Star Beast!" Sang Luo's voice rose, then she shook her head. "That's too wasteful, you should have eaten it. It's useless for me to eat it."

Although absorbing the crystal core made her body feel very comfortable, she had just tried to check the faint mysterious power in her body, but there was no change. As expected, the female physique wasn't good at cultivation. A natural waste.

"The crystal core can enhance your physique. It's useful if it's good for your body." He rubbed her head.

Compared to the peacefulness in the house, the Kodo Tribe had been quite uneasy these past few days, especially since Manla's house had been making smashing sounds. She couldn't bear it anymore, she had to find a way to drive that weak female out of the tribe!

Although Manla had previously been jealous that Sang Luo had been favored by Lan Cang, Lan Cang's realm had fallen and he had become a cripple after all. Even if she liked him, her desire to take him in wasn't as strong as before, and she didn't want to cause a big fuss for that weak female, hurting her own face. If she couldn't teach her a lesson, she could only give up.

But now, it was different. Lan Cang had killed a sixth-level Star Beast!

His strength had returned!

She absolutely couldn't let such a powerful male beast go to someone else.

That weak female couldn't stay!

Sang Luo went to the witch doctor to settle the medicine bill for the past few days. Manla took the opportunity to lead people to corner her in a deserted corner.

"I'll give you one last piece of advice, leave the Kodo Tribe immediately. I can give you some travel expenses to ensure that you can live a carefree life in another place for the rest of your life. If you still dare to stay in the tribe and pester Lan Cang, don't blame me for making sure you don't see the sun tomorrow."

Sang Luo only stared at her coldly, without saying a word.

This female was obviously jealous of her. She didn't expect that she could still arouse the jealousy of others even though she was so low-key. Fortunately, she would be leaving here soon, otherwise she was worried that she would be poisoned in her food one day if she was treated as an imaginary love rival by a jealous female all day long.

Sang Luo decided to continue pretending to be a mute, also fearing that the Kodo Tribe would forcibly keep her in the future. After all, the attractiveness and importance of a healthy, high-quality female to the tribe even surpassed that of high-level beastmen.

"What are you looking at me so eagerly for? Can't you understand what I'm saying? Hehe, you're not a mute, are you also having problems with your brain?"

As Manla spoke, she was about to step forward and get physical, when a sudden force struck. "Ah!" She was sent flying several meters, her head hitting the wall hard, causing her to bleed.

Lan Cang saw that Sang Luo hadn't returned for so long and went out to look for her, unexpectedly running into this scene.

He immediately protected Sang Luo behind him, looking coldly at Manla, who was climbing up from the ground, and the two bewildered beastmen behind her. "What do you want to do?"

"Lan Cang… I, no, I didn't do anything to her, I, I just wanted to say a few words to her…" Manla covered her head, panicking, not wanting to leave a bad impression on him.

"You were about to push her just now."

He wasn't blind.

Seeing that things were exposed and couldn't be concealed, Manla changed her expression and said viciously, "I'm doing it for your own good too. Your strength has recovered now, there's no need to be tied to this crippled weak female. You can also choose a better female, like me! I have superior fertility and can give birth to the best offspring for you, and I can even help you become the tribal chief, while this crippled weak female can't help you with anything, she can't even give birth. Don't let her delay you!"

Lan Cang's face was almost icily cold. If the person in front of him wasn't a female, he would have already had murderous intentions!

The two beastmen quickly grabbed the emotional Manla, wanting her to stop talking, didn't she see Lan Cang's fierce eyes, they believed that he wanted to kill someone to silence them! Now that Lan Cang's strength had recovered, the two of them couldn't beat him!

"Unless she goes with me to the female stone for identification! If she can prove that she has fertility, otherwise she shouldn't think about staying in the Kodo Tribe!"

Sang Luo gripped his hand tightly. The coldness on Lan Cang's face eased slightly, and his expression was still gentle towards her. "What's wrong?"

Seeing her frowning, her face pale, and a thin layer of sweat on her forehead, gently rubbing her closed legs, Lan Cang thought she was frightened and was about to comfort her,

Suddenly, he heard her say in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "Lan Cang, I… let's go back, I feel a little uncomfortable…"
