Chapter 124: Lingering feelings?
The truth was pretty much the same as Sang Luo had guessed.
Bai Wan is a half-blooded Bi'an, a half-king-level orc with top-tier fertility. She is Si Ye's childhood sweetheart and also his betrothed partner. They are a perfect match, a match made in heaven, and the outside world is optimistic about their marriage.
But before the two got married, Bai Wan had already been secretly having an affair with another young master of Bi'an, and was found to be pregnant on the eve of the wedding. She had no choice but to marry that young master first to have the child.
Bai Wan probably wanted to get both of them back, but she didn't expect that this incident would touch Si Ye's bottom line, causing him to break up with her and completely sever all ties with her.
Sang Luo wasn't very interested in gossip. He wanted to know one thing more: "Have Young Master Si Ye and the noble female of the Bai family ever mated?"
The old servant didn't expect her to ask so bluntly. He coughed and waved his hand quickly, "No, it's not true. I watched the young master grow up. Although he looks free and uninhibited, he is actually quite traditional and old-fashioned. He dislikes those who have promiscuous relationships and insists on not mating before marriage. It was because of that incident that he ran away from home. Alas!"
The incident that caused Si Ye to lose his composure and leave the ancestral home where he grew up must have been a big blow to him.
It's possible that these two people still have feelings for each other.
Si Ye's bad attitude made him look like he was really angry. No wonder he agreed to take her back to the tribe. I guess she was being treated as a tool.
Sang Luo sighed and asked again, "How long ago did this happen?"
"Five years ago, at most."
"Bai Wan has been pregnant for five years?" Sang Luo was shocked.
The old servant was not surprised. "The King Beast race is born with a pregnancy of several years, sometimes more than ten years, or even decades. The length of pregnancy depends on many factors such as the mother's bloodline talent, fetal development, and nutritional supplements. It cannot be generalized, but it is generally not less than three years. Five or six years is also normal."
“…” Then her pregnancy was indeed short enough.
Each of Sang Luo's pregnancies lasts about three months.
The longest time was when she was pregnant with wolf cubs. During that pregnancy, the bloodline of the offspring was improved, so it took a few more months and did not exceed half a year.
Sang Luo guessed that on the one hand, her natural strength had improved, allowing the mother to conceive offspring faster; on the other hand, it depended on the hard hunting of the father beasts. When she was pregnant, she was so ferocious that even Lou Xianyue was shocked. This showed that the natural treasures and animal crystals she consumed during her pregnancy far exceeded the amount required for the birth of a natural king beast's offspring.
Sang Luo returned to the courtyard and said he wanted to rest, so he asked the servants to leave first.
She did not return to the tidied side hall, but went to the master bedroom where Si Ye was resting. She took out a jar of spirit wine from the space, and released her mental power while thinking about when Si Ye would come back.
…
The main hall of the Beast King Palace.
Sitting on the high seat was a graceful and majestic middle-aged female with a very strong aura. From the similar facial features, it can be inferred that this person is Si Ye’s biological beast mother, the leader of the Beibi’an tribe, Si Jing.
Si Ye stood tall and graceful, with a casual posture, below.
The atmosphere between mother and son was somewhat tense.
The elders and servants on both sides did not dare to say much.
Si Ye spoke first, "My Queen Mother called me back so late at night. I wonder what's going on?"
"What's the matter? How dare you ask me?" Si Jing asked coldly, "You've really caused me a lot of trouble outside! That female from the Sky Tiger tribe came to the master's house to complain, saying that you abused her and killed several of her beastly husbands. She wants to ask me for an explanation."
Si Ye sneered, "I don't know what explanation she wants. That vicious woman drugged me, but I didn't kill her. I was showing some mercy."
"Zhili's fertility is well-known in the entire East Continent. I tried my best to bring you two together. Maybe one day you can add a female and a half male to my Bi'an tribe and strengthen the family bloodline. But you not only hurt her, but also offended the entire Tianhu tribe! The noble ladies in the outside world all know that you have a bad attitude towards females. If you continue like this, how can I find a good marriage for you!" Si Jiong had a headache.
"...Mother called me here just to tell you this?" Si Ye said impatiently, "If that's the case, I'll leave first. By the way, I'll give you the birthday gift I brought now. I won't be here for your birthday tomorrow."
"What kind of attitude is that!"
Si Jiong was so angry that the finger he was pointing at him was shaking.
A handsome male orc in elegant yellow brocade stepped forward to comfort him, "Jiong'er, don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry. Si Ye was used to being away from home when he was young. It's normal for young people to have a bit of temper. I'll have Si Yan teach his little brother a lesson later."
"Well, Yan'er is still obedient! You are a good father."
Si Ye looked at the two of them, his expression getting even colder. He pursed his lips and said, "Yes, I'm a child without a father to teach me since I was a child, so naturally I can't compare to my elder brother... Can you two stop being so affectionate in front of me? It's disgusting."
"Si Ye! What did you say? Say it again!" Si Jing stood up and said sternly.
"My words were rude, so I'll leave first." Si Ye waved his hand and turned away.
"Someone, stop this rebellious son!"
The guards rushed forward and were thrown to the ground in an instant.
No one in the audience could resist the peak pressure of the Si Ye King Beast.
Si Jing's face also turned pale, and his hand on the handle was trembling. He could not hide his joy in his anger, and his face looked much better. "Ye'er, your realm has improved again."
"I wonder how it compares to Big Brother?"
"Yan'er is a few years older than you, but his strength is not as good as yours."
Ning Feng's face was truly ugly, his hands clenched in his sleeves. He was Si Jing's current husband and Si Yan's biological father. Didn't this brat leave? Why did he come back again?
His cultivation has actually improved again, isn't this a slap in his son's face!
The sneer and provocation in Si Ye's glance made Ning Feng feel a hint of murderous intent.
…
After leaving the main hall, Si Ye did not return to his bedroom to rest. Instead, he teleported to the roof, looked at the night view for a while, and then lay on the eaves with his hands folded and his head resting on it.
Not long after I closed my eyes, a slender figure appeared beside me.
Si Ye didn't need to open his eyes; just smelling the pleasant fragrance on her body made him feel relaxed.
"How did you know I was here?"
"I guessed." Sang Luo lay down beside him, "The night is beautiful tonight, young marquis."
"You didn't sleep?"
"You didn't come back, I was worried and couldn't sleep."
“…”
"The young marquis doesn't seem to be in a good mood." Sang Luo moved closer to him. He didn't move, so he bravely moved closer, and their arms touched skin to skin.
"Back then, you had a falling out with the clan leader over your fiancée. Five years have passed, and there's still no sign of improvement. Do you like Bai Wan that much?"
"You still know this?" Si Ye opened his eyes and glanced at her, "How do you know that I like Bai Wan?"
"You were very depressed when you saw her in the hallway during the day."
