Chapter 83: Enhancing Offspring Talent

For half a month, Sang Luo couldn't get out of bed. The man seemed to have inexhaustible energy in such matters, so fierce that it made people tremble. In the days that followed, Sang Luo's legs would go weak whenever she heard the words "I still want more."

Not long after, Sang Luo found that her appetite had increased dramatically, and she knew she was probably pregnant.

Lan Cang brought her several racks of grilled meat, hardly believing it, "Really pregnant?"

Sang Luo took his hand and placed it on her belly, smiling, "Can't you, as the father, sense whether I'm pregnant or not?"

Lan Cang nodded repeatedly, excitedly, "Yes, yes, pregnant."

In reality, the pregnancy was still too early, and he, as the father beast, couldn't sense anything at all, but he still lost sleep for several nights. He brought the old witch doctor from the city, and a week later, the witch doctor diagnosed her pulse and congratulated the two of them, she really was pregnant!

"What are you thinking about?" Seeing Lan Cang acting like a fool, Sang Luo smiled and took his hand.

Lan Cang was too excited to speak. He hugged her and kissed her again and again, touching her still-flat abdomen with loving hands. This small patch of land actually held their offspring. It was truly magical. "…Luo Luo, what virtue or ability do I possess to be able to have you?"

"From now on, you and the child will be my everything. I will take good care of you for the rest of my life. My life belongs to you."

"How come you've learned to say such pretty words?" Sang Luo's face blossomed into a smile.

"I'm telling the truth!" Even if she asked him to die now, he wouldn't hesitate.

Lan Cang lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead, "Thank you for your hard work, Luo Luo. Be sure to tell me if you need anything. I hope I can share more of your burden."

"Yes, I know you will definitely take good care of me and our child, that's why I'm willing to carry this child for you." Sang Luo opened her fingers and intertwined them with his. His broad, slender palm easily enveloped her hand. "Can you tell how many there are?"

"The pregnancy is too short, I can't tell for now. In a month, I'll be able to sense it." Lan Cang let her play with his hand, gentle and worried, "Wolf clans generally have multiple births. Giving birth to this child… won't be easy."

That's why he had never been in a hurry to have children, and his desire for offspring was not great, largely because pregnancy and childbirth would damage the body, and he couldn't bear to let her suffer the pain of childbirth.

"It's okay, this is my second time giving birth. I have some experience, after all. How long is a wolf clan's pregnancy?"

"A little over two months."

Sang Luo nodded. The pregnancy was shorter than the previous ones. Eating more natural treasures could also shorten the pregnancy, so it shouldn't be too torturous.

"I'm hungry, daddy of the child, go find something to eat."

Lan Cang carried her back to bed, and his figure disappeared instantly.

Half an hour later, he returned, taking several brocade boxes from his space. When opened, the rich spiritual energy almost filled the entire room. They were all top-grade natural treasures.

Mystic Ice Spirit Fungus, Amethyst Vine, Moonlit Ghost Orchid, Snow Jade Ginseng, Seven-Petal Jade Lotus Root…

Any one of them would be priceless if taken out.

Raising children is expensive!

Sang Luo picked up a Snow Jade Ginseng and crunched it in her mouth. It was crisp, refreshing, bitter, and sweet. "Luckily, I had the foresight to save up a lot of family wealth for the child in these past few months. Otherwise, based on my poor and destitute state when I first came to Broken Ice City, you, as the father, might not have been able to afford to raise the child."

Lan Cang was embarrassed, "I will work hard to give you and the child something better."

"Take your time, there's no rush. I believe in you~"

Seeing that she ate the Snow Jade Ginseng in two or three bites, Lan Cang asked uneasily, "Is this really okay…? Can you refine it?"

These top-grade natural treasures contained extremely rich spiritual power, which was difficult even for him to refine.

He had originally planned to divide it into several portions and stew it into a soup for her.

"Natural treasures should be eaten fresh, right after picking. Boiling them into soup or cooking them will cause the spiritual energy to be lost." Sang Luo said, picking up a spiritual-grade lotus root, "Don't worry, I have experience, nothing will happen. You should be happy, the more I eat, the better the child's talent will be."

Seeing that she was fine and her complexion was even rosier, Lan Cang breathed a sigh of relief and busily said, "You eat first, I'll go find more for you!"

"Okay, okay."

Lan Cang left early and returned late every day. When he returned, he was more or less bruised. He would first take a bath in the ice river, change his clothes, and then return to the mansion, for fear that Sang Luo would smell the bloody scent on him.

Boxes and boxes of natural treasures and high-level beast crystals were moved into the house.

The beasts in the mansion had never seen the city lord work so hard.

A male beast with a child was really working his life away.

Lan Cang sent all the beast crystals and natural treasures he had hunted, as well as the rare spiritual materials he had purchased from traveling merchants in the city, to the mansion, barely enough to meet the nutritional needs of Sang Luo's child.

Taking advantage of the rare sunny day in the Northern Continent, Sang Luo moved a chair and basked in the sun in the yard, touching her belly with some melancholy…

If both parents are king beasts, there is a chance of giving birth to a naturally born king beast offspring.

The beast crystals and spiritual materials she ate during pregnancy seemed terrifying enough to outsiders, but Sang Luo's hunger was far less than the previous pregnancies. This child's talent was probably a little worse, and most likely not a naturally born king beast.

It was not unexpected, but somewhat regrettable.

Since she had to work hard for several months anyway, she wanted to make the child's talent as good as possible! Even if she was full, she would force herself to eat a little more.

She had to find higher-level spiritual materials.

One day, Lan Cang returned late at night, covered in dust, and Sang Luo was still awake. She said to him solemnly, "I'm going out with you to hunt!"

"How can that be? Hunting is what I, the father beast, should do. You should just focus on nurturing the fetus. The environment outside is so harsh, what if you get hurt?" Lan Cang firmly disagreed.

"Don't worry, I'm a king-level beast after all. What you can do, I can naturally do too! Besides, I'm only in the early stages of pregnancy, and my body is no different from usual. When my belly gets bigger, I'll lie in the house and concentrate on nurturing the fetus." Sang Luo said seriously, "My talent can be used to find treasures. I have to find higher-level spiritual materials to improve the child's talent."

Lan Cang struggled after knowing her plan, then nodded and agreed.

Anyway, with him around, he would definitely not let anything happen to her.

Bottom of the Xuan Tian Ice Cliff.

A hundred-zhang-high waterfall flowed straight down, condensing into ice the moment it reached the bottom of the cliff, hanging between heaven and earth, a magnificent and beautiful spectacle.

A lithe and slender black wolf darted out like a ghost. At the same time, dozens of lightning bolts rumbled down, instantly crushing several king-level star beasts into dust!

Lan Cang transformed into human form, dug out the crystal cores, and flatteringly handed them to Sang Luo.

Sang Luo ate the crystal cores in a few bites, "crunch, crunch~", stood up from the stone, patted her skirt, kissed him on the face, and said, "I saw in a book that this kind of star beast is the symbiotic star beast of the Seven Luminaries Vine. There is likely to be a Seven Luminaries Vine nearby. Let's hurry up and look for it again!"

"Okay, you come up first, I'll take you to find it."

Lan Cang turned into his beast form, lay on the ground, let Sang Luo sit on his wolf back, and carried her around slowly, occasionally lowering his head and sniffing the ground with his wet black nose.

Not far away, a vine climbed up a rock wall, bearing seven leaves.

The green vine had a red root, and broken ice condensed on the vine, as if starlight was dotted on it, and the spiritual energy was rich.

Found it!

Sang Luo pulled out the Seven Luminaries Vine and ate it in a few bites. A team came over not far away. She patted Lan Cang's wolf head, and the two figures disappeared instantly.

After the team of people came over, they searched the area several times, but couldn't even find half a natural treasure! This entire area had been completely plundered! There were no good things left!

Damn! Who was so ruthless?!
