Chapter 67 He is the craziest one!
Sang Luo's heart was shaken. "You! The soul mark can only be marked once. Aren't you afraid that I will erase the soul mark and you will become a stray beast!"
A thin layer of sweat streamed down Duotu's face as he smiled miserably, "I don't care. If you want to erase the mark, then erase it!"
"...Do you really think I'll be soft-hearted?" Sang Luo laughed in anger, "How many of those words of yours are true?"
"Luoluo, everything I said to you is true! I didn't lie to you!"
The bed curtains were tangled and trembling, and the shadows cast on the wall separated and merged endlessly.
"What...what on earth can you do...to let me go?" she asked weakly.
He suddenly hugged her tightly, buried his head in her neck, and a low, suppressed growl escaped from his throat.
Almost pleading,
"Child...Leave me a child, and I'll let you go."
"Ugh, asshole!"
"Asshole or despicable, just give it to me, okay?"
Her heart is no longer with him, and she seems to be able to leave him at any time. If one day he really can't keep her, he must at least keep the child that belongs to him and her!
In the next month, Sang Luo will have very few moments of clarity. In her daze, she heard an orc outside the door saying that the former dynasty wanted to see him for something. Duotu then left, giving her a chance to rest.
Sang Luo lay on the bed for a long time to recover. Her throat was extremely dry. She used her water ability to clean her body instantly, put on a piece of clothing and got out of bed. Her legs and feet went weak and she almost fell to the ground.
Damn! My body hurts everywhere! This was the first time she was so miserable afterward that she needed to use healing magic.
Looking at the bottles and jars scattered on the ground, Sang Luo's forehead twitched wildly.
It turns out that he is the craziest one!
Sang Luo calmed down, put on his clothes, walked to the table, opened the drawer, took out the invitation, and disappeared in the palace in an instant.
The next second, she appeared on a quaint street with a lot of traffic. She was surrounded by tile and stone houses, and the tallest building was no more than five stories high.
The city of Valru is a medium-sized town with a population of 200,000 to 300,000 and is quite wealthy.
The beast world is vast and sparsely populated. There are not many beastmen on the streets, but somewhere in the city it is very lively.
She glanced at the address on the invitation and walked over with a smile.
It was a restaurant that had just opened. It wasn't very big, with only three floors, but it was packed with people.
Sang Luo went straight to the back kitchen. She wanted to ask the waiter where the boss was, but she caught a glimpse of a familiar white figure. She curled her lips and said jokingly, "You're already the boss, but you still wash the dishes yourself. You're really good at saving yourself labor costs."
"Madam, you are here!"
Xiaobai turned around and saw her. He was so surprised that he immediately stopped washing the dishes and quickly wiped his hands with a dry towel. He smiled and said, "I sent you an invitation more than a month ago. When you didn't come, I thought you were too busy and wouldn't come again."
"I promised you I would definitely come, but I was a little...busy these past few days." Sang Luo looked at the restaurant's decor. The classic solid wood was quite elegant. He took out a fragrant wood carving in the shape of a fortune cat from his space. "It's a pity I didn't make it to your grand opening. I give this little thing to you. I hope it's not too late."
"It's not important. Hehe, my restaurant is so prosperous when you come here, ma'am! But you didn't inform me in advance when you came, and I didn't have time to clean up. I'm sorry to make a fool of myself. Let me change my clothes." Xiaobai happily accepted the gift, handed it to the waiter beside him, and put it on the counter.
"Your little mouth is getting more and more lively. This life is much better than the one you had in your family."
“There’s simply no comparison!”
Xiaobai quickly changed his clothes, gave a few instructions to the two waiters, and then took Sang Luo to the VIP room on the third floor. He personally cooked more than a dozen dishes. Sang Luo didn't need to say anything, as all of them were her favorites.
Sang Luo took a sip of the duck blood vermicelli soup, then a bite of the crispy and tender sweet and sour fish, and sighed with emotion, "I haven't tasted your cooking for a long time. The taste hasn't changed, no, it's even better than before."
"Madam, please don't make fun of me. The delicacies from the mountains and seas in the Beast King's Palace are definitely better than these home-cooked dishes I made."
"That's not really the case." Apart from Lan Cang, she was used to eating the food she cooked.
Thinking of this man, she didn't know how he was doing now. As usual, she would receive a large box of beast crystals delivered to an unknown address every month. Except for a break in the month when she moved to the Beast King Palace, she continued the delivery the following month.
Sang Luo once returned to the manor where she and Caesar had lived. It was deserted, the servants dismissed, and a thin layer of dust and fallen leaves covered the floor, suggesting it hadn't been tended to in ages. The windows had all been smashed by unknown orcs, and the furniture and valuables had been swept away. Those that couldn't be moved were smashed and destroyed, leaving the house in a shambles, with barely room to step.
Sang Luo originally wanted to go find something as a souvenir, but found nothing.
Before leaving, she found the missing box of crystals in a corner of the wall. The box was made of a silver-gray wood, which Sang Luo had never seen in lumber shops and buildings in the Western Continent. She thought it must be a unique wood from other continents.
Unfortunately, the box was opened and all the beast crystals inside were gone. I think it was done by the local thugs and stray beasts.
Sang Luo had previously wondered who had sent these boxes of beast crystals, but now he had a pretty good guess. He sighed, finding it difficult to eat.
"Madam, are you worried about something?" Xiaobai took out a large bag of dried shrimps. "Try this, it's delicious!"
"You still understand me." Sang Luo took it and chewed it. It was crispy, fragrant, and spicy.
It's the perfect snack to satisfy your cravings during pregnancy. She especially enjoyed chewing on this flavored dried meat snack when she was pregnant.
"Can you give me a few more packs?"
"I just made a few dozen pounds this morning and haven't sold them all yet. I'm going to pack them all up for my wife!"
Xiaobai was extremely surprised to see more than ten pounds of dried shrimps disappear in an instant and be collected into the space by Sang Luo. This talent really makes foodies envious!
"I see there are several restaurants in the city doing pretty well. Your newly opened inn might be secretly suppressed, which would put a lot of pressure on you. I have some suggestions for you. You could organize some promotions, coupons to reduce crystals when you spend a certain amount, or something like that where you can get a discount by inviting people..."
"Once your brand is established, you can open chain stores and have others pay to buy your brand influence and the rights to use your secret recipes. When they make money, you can get a share of the profits..."
Xiaobai listened to her words one by one, his eyes shining, "Madam, you are truly a business genius!"
Sang Luo took a sip of water to hide his embarrassment. It was all due to the experience of being cheated by unscrupulous businessmen in his previous life.
"Xiaobai, there are quite a few customers at noon today. Let me help you take care of it."
A handsome and handsome silver-haired orc walked in from outside the door. Seeing Sang Luo froze, he shouted, "Husband... Madam!"
Many guests looked over here, and Sang Luo really wanted to punch him.
"Don't shout so loudly."
She didn't want to attract attention.
Leon walked over quickly, scratched his head and laughed, "It's just that I haven't seen the madam for so long. I thought I was seeing things just now. I was so excited!"
The two of them were still used to calling her Madam, and Sang Luo didn't ask them to change, so they just kept calling her that.
Leon took a pot of wine and said, "Since the master left, I have been transferred to another department and am no longer on duty in the imperial capital. I thought I would never see you again in this life! I toast you a glass and hope that we can meet again this time!"
Xiaobai, "I'd like to toast Madam too!"
Sang Luo poured a glass of juice, toasted the two of them, and then asked Leon, "Where are you on duty now?"
Duotu's outward appearance of magnanimity and forgiveness was partly to win over the people and partly to conceal his true intentions. However, Sanglaochai Liong's situation was not very good. He was probably semi-exiled to a border city, holding a nominal position with little real power.
How could Duotu allow Caesar's people to do things under his nose?
The guess is pretty good.
Leon drank a few sips of wine dejectedly and complained. The beast pattern on his arm had deepened, indicating that his strength had also improved.
He said, "After working in the military for a few more months, I also want to resign and come over to run the restaurant with Xiaobai. I wonder if the boss is willing to take in a poor male beast like me?"
He disliked military socializing, as it was just for a living. Now that the people he had loyally followed had fallen, he had long since stopped wanting to stay in that kind of place.
Xiaobai smiled and said, "As long as you come, I dare to accept you. It just so happens that my wife and I just discussed opening a branch in the future, and the store is short of staff."
"Okay, then I'm going to follow you and make a lot of money."
Sang Luo had noticed before that these two people, one likes money and cooking, the other likes money and delicious food, and smiled and said, "You two really have a lot in common in this regard."
She looked at Leon, raised an eyebrow and said, "But you are a level 7 orc, isn't it a waste to work as a handyman in a restaurant?"
"Madam, you don't know that some diners are picky and always come here to eat for free. Some orcs, seeing that Xiaobai is a female, want to have evil intentions. I have used force to teach them all a lesson! The restaurant business is getting better and better. Other restaurant owners in the city want to buy it. When soft tactics don't work, they try hard tactics and always send people here to cause trouble. Xiaobai can't handle it alone. My presence can at least deter them."
Xiaobai's face darkened as he recalled the difficulties he had faced over the past month. "Those people from the clan came to me once before. They used the clan's name to try to take back all the crystals I had earned. It was Brother Bao who helped them deal with that..."
Sang Luo held his chin and looked at the two of them. Their simple and affluent life was quite enviable.
After dinner, Xiaobai brought over a purse filled with a lot of crystals and gave it to Sang Luo.
"Business is good. I'll pick a location and open a branch in a few days. My wife will definitely get a bigger share in the future!"
"I wish your business will be more prosperous, and I can also benefit from it~"
During the time that Sang Luo and Duotu were together, they actually didn't lack crystals, but after they broke up, she felt a little uncomfortable using his things... and since they were destined to separate in the future, it would be nice for her to have some income of her own.
Sang Luo, Xiaobai and Leon hadn't seen each other for a long time, so they reminisced and chatted and asked about their recent situation.
When the two asked her how she was doing in the Beast King Palace, Sang Luo was vague, only talking about the good things and not mentioning Duotu too much.
Lyon has followed Sang Luo for so long and was worried that she was not living well in the palace. He heard that the Beast King has not given her a pairing ceremony yet, so he is relieved now. If the Admiral were still alive, he would definitely hope that his wife would have a better life.
Before I knew it, it was getting late.
At dinner time, the restaurant welcomed many customers again. Sang Luo asked the two to go back to the restaurant first. She stayed in the private room, eating snacks and leisurely staying alone for a while.
Suddenly, there were shouts and chaotic footsteps from the crowd downstairs. Sang Luo thought someone was here to cause trouble, and just as he was about to go downstairs, he saw Xiao Bai hurried upstairs.
"Madam, it's His Majesty the Beast King who's here to see you. He's here to take you back to the palace..."
What?
Isn't he very busy these days? Why did he come here in person?
Sang Luo's face darkened. He walked to the window and saw a large army of orcs ready to go below.
Duotu actually brought his army here directly. With such great momentum and pressure, they surrounded the entire city layer by layer. The restaurant was surrounded completely. The guests in the building and the orcs nearby were all scared away, thinking that something big had happened.
And at the front, the blond man was tall and straight, particularly eye-catching.
The moment Sang Luo opened the window, the man also raised his head, and their eyes met.
His tense nerves were instantly soothed.
"Luoluo!"
“…”
She slammed the window shut.
It was intentional, absolutely intentional!
Xiaobai and Leon didn't know the inside story and simply thought that Duotu was going to take her back to the palace, but the scene was a bit too exaggerated.
"Madam, it's getting late. You'd better go back quickly. It seems that His Majesty the Beast King is very worried about you. He may think that something has happened to you." Xiaobai had never seen such a scary scene in his life. His ears drooped and he said a little scared.
"Well, when I have time later, I'll come and catch up with you guys."
Sang Luo smiled at the two of them, and when he turned and went downstairs, his eyes were cold.
Since Duotu was able to find this place, he must know that she was fine. He was deliberately warning her to stay in the palace and not run around.
When Duotu saw Sang Luo coming down from the building, he immediately rushed over and hugged her tightly in his arms.
"Luoluo, I couldn't find you in the palace. I thought you...why didn't you tell me you were coming out?"
“…”
Seeing Sang Luo's silence, Duotu's joy of regaining what he had lost was slowly dissipated by inexplicable panic. He couldn't help but tremble in his voice, "Don't leave me, don't disappear from my sight..."
Sang Luo sighed, "Let's go back to the palace."
She finally understood it completely.
He wouldn't let her go unless she gave birth to his child.
She can’t just keep giving birth!
Sang Luo felt like she was about to be driven crazy, so she decided to throw in the towel. She pushed him away, looked up and said coldly, "Don't you just want a child? Fine, when we get back, I'll give you one!"
"Luoluo..." Duotu was stunned, but there was not much joy on his face. He wanted to hold her hand, but was shaken away.
"After the birth, you let me go, and we're done with each other, right?"
Duotu stared at her deeply, his Adam's apple rolling as he whispered, "If you want to leave, I won't..."
"Okay, come back to the palace now, and I'll give birth to you right away!"
