Chapter 519: Fierce Competition
Less than a month before the due date, Sha came and wanted to take Sang Luo to the ghost realm to give birth.
Sang Luo resisted contact with Tongsha, but she also knew how to assess the situation and decided that going to the ghost realm to give birth was the best decision.
On that day, all the servants in the Rakshasa Palace saw the king personally carrying a pregnant woman to the bedroom.
There was a huge uproar in the palace. Some people didn't believe it, some were puzzled, and some speculated about the origins of that female...
The ones who suffered the most were the beauties in the harem, who were all in a state of panic.
The oldest of these beauties has been in the palace for more than 100,000 years. They have never seen King Rakshasa bring back a woman from outside, let alone bring her back personally. Even the most favored ghost concubine at that time was treated indifferently by King Rakshasa. If the king did not want to have a child, it would probably make no difference to him whether these women were in the harem or not.
Could it be that the woman is pregnant with the king's child?
Gui Ji was so angry that she threw a lot of things, her bright red nails digging into the flesh of her palms. In her heart, she refused to believe it, even if she was beaten to death. Wasn't it said that the Rakshasa King was born without descendants?!
How could there be any offspring!
That woman is definitely pregnant with a bastard!
But no matter how much she didn't believe it, there was still a trace of fear in her heart. That woman and her child must not be kept!
"Come here," Gui Ji casually summoned a servant, "Prepare some generous gifts. I will go and see the beauty that the king has brought with him."
But when she got there, she found that the palace was surrounded by guards inside and out. She was not the only one who had the same idea. Several other beauties had also come and were stopped outside the palace.
The beauties all looked unhappy. When Concubine Yu saw Gui Ji coming, her face lit up with joy, but she pretended to be sad. "It seems that the king really cares about this new beauty. Not only did he bring her back to the palace personally, but he also arranged so many guards to protect this sister's safety. I am really enviable. Even the most favored Gui Ji back then didn't have such treatment..."
When Gui Ji came over and heard this, she angrily slapped her in the face and raged, "You guys are so impatient to live that you dare to bite the root of my tongue here!"
"Ah!" Yu Meiren covered her swollen face and knelt down in fear. She gritted her teeth to hide the sarcasm in her eyes. She raised her head, and her beautiful face became even more charming. "It's my fault. I shouldn't have looked down on Sister Guiji. But I'm also worried about you..."
"Your Majesty values this new beauty so much, and she even came here pregnant. Once she gives birth, she will definitely be the Queen. What will we do then?..."
The other beauties also fanned the flames, and Gui Ji was even more furious. She insisted on going in to test the waters, but was stopped.
"I am an elder in the palace after all, and I can't even come over to visit the newcomers? What are you doing here to stop me?"
"I'm sorry, this is the king's order, I'm sorry I can't obey it."
The maid next to her also advised, "Beauty, let's go back first."
The maid whispered in Gui Ji's ear, "I heard that the king went to the Black Valley to hunt an ancient ghost beast. I'm afraid he won't be back for ten days or half a month."
Gui Ji's eyes suddenly lit up and her expression relaxed. "Well, since it's the king's order, I won't get into trouble." She turned away and left.
Ghost Princess used to be arrogant and domineering, relying on the King's favor. She had been eyeing the position of Ghost Queen for a long time. How could she tolerate it so easily? The other beauties had wanted to watch the fun, but when they didn't, they left in dismay.
…
During the few days that Sang Luo stayed in the ghost realm, she didn't even need to use her mental strength to know how many eyes were secretly watching her.
Bribed servants, repeated accidents, poisoned food, and pregnancy-preserving drugs secretly replaced with abortion-inducing drugs.
“…”
The competition is quite fierce.
After Sha came back, Sang Luo casually threw a paper figurine to him and yawned, "Take good care of those beauties in your harem. I don't want anything to happen to my child."
Sha saw the paper figurine in his hand with a slightly gloomy expression. He raised his hand and a ghost fire burned it to ashes. After leaving and coming back, he took out several balls of soul power and gave them to Sang Luo, as well as an ancient beast crystal core.
After Sang Luo finished eating, his face looked a little strange. "The Rakshasa King is really ruthless. He kills the person who has been with him for many years without any hesitation."
In this man's eyes, there is no love at all, only offspring!
"I said, I only have you." Sha sat on the edge of the bed, gently stroking her belly, as if he could sense the little life taking shape inside.
"My real body never touched those women, only my clone."
"...Really?" Sang Luo didn't believe it.
"As you said, there's no need for me to lie to you, and you don't care, right?" Sha looked at her with a teasing smile in his eyes.
Sang Luo blushed slightly and turned away, not wanting to look at him.
Sha curled his lips, feeling very happy, "You always have this expression when you lie."
He brought another bowl of pregnancy-maintaining medicine and said, "Drink this. It might be a little bitter, so I added some malt sugar."
"You... don't talk to me in that tone." Sang Luo took the medicine bowl awkwardly, tilted her head back and drank it in a few gulps. It was not as bitter as she had imagined. After drinking it, there was a faint sweetness on the tip of her tongue, which was the taste she liked.
Sha took the medicine bowl from her hand and placed it on the table, his eyes falling on her face, "Have you ever thought that maybe I didn't mean to imitate him."
“…”
"That wolf beast is a part of my soul. Even though I am not him, I have not erased his memory... My love for you is not as strong and profound as his, but it is not completely absent either. Everything I do and think when facing you comes from my heart." Sha's low and magnetic voice was filled with indescribable temptation, and seemed to contain a hint of sadness, but it disappeared in a flash.
"Luoluo." He called her that for the first time. "I don't want you to treat me as a substitute, and I don't want you to treat me as a stranger. Perhaps, you can try to accept Sha."
"...Thank you for your kindness, King Luosha, but this is a pure transaction between us, so let's not talk about love." Sang Luo chuckled.
She is a person who likes to protect herself and does not believe in the love that the ghosts talk about. The Rakshasa King may really have some feelings for her, or he may just be coaxing her for the sake of having offspring, but, so what?
She doesn't need this preference.
This kind of person has been in a superior position for too long and is unwilling to lower himself to become a captive of the other party, let alone share a woman with other men. Sooner or later he will become dissatisfied and become an uncontrollable bomb.
Sang Luo also knows that she cannot control the King of the Ghost Realm. Some things should be dealt with in moderation.
"Okay, if this is what you want, I won't say these words again in the future." His deep blue eyes became indifferent again in an instant. He let go and covered her with the quilt, then got up and left.
I've been running around a lot these past two days and haven't had time to update. Today I have some free time, so I'll spend the whole afternoon in front of the computer and write as much as I can.
(P.S.: Actually, in my original setting, Sha was a two-headed beast with two consciousnesses. When his lifespan was almost over, he split off a left-brain consciousness to serve as a clone responsible for reproduction. The left-brained one was rather arrogant, while the right-brained one was more calm. Later, I thought about adding Lan Cang, making it three people, which was a bit redundant. So when I actually wrote it today, I thought about it and didn't make it so complicated, and just wrote it as an ordinary clone.)
