Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty

Chapter 589 - 528: Family Portrait - Finale

Half a month later, Little Rose sent word with good news: the egg Little Yu’er had picked up had hatched.

It was a... little monkey?

A monkey hatching from an egg was a little strange, but considering this was the Profound Beast World, it wasn’t all that surprising.

The Little Golden Monkey was only a foot long, covered in fluffy, soft, beautiful golden fur. Its tail was so long it could curl up over its head. Its eyes were round, black, and full of playful intelligence. It could even speak. The moment it perched on Little Rose’s head, it started calling for its mother.

Little Rose’s face turned beet-red, and she stomped her foot. "Ahhh! I’m not your mama! Are your big eyes just for show? I’m still a kid myself! How could I possibly be your mother!"

"You’re the one who hatched me. You were the first thing I saw!"

Little Yu’er piped up anxiously, "I’m the one who found you in the Secret Realm and brought you back!"

Hephis chimed in too. "I sensed the aura of a treasure back in the Secret Realm. That’s why Little Yu and I went over to dig, but we never expected to unearth you."

The Little Monkey was about to call him "Papa," but then it saw that Little Yu wasn’t even as big as it was, and the two of them looked nothing at all like it. It scratched its head, hesitating. Then, its eyes lit up when it saw Sang Luo approaching. "Mama! You’re my mama, aren’t you!"

Sang Luo let out a chuckle. "I’m not your mother either. My youngest son found you in the Secret Realm before you even hatched and brought you home. Then, my youngest daughter used the Life Law to save you. You could call them your saviors, but we’re really not your mother and father."

The Little Golden Monkey lowered its head in disappointment, looking like a pitiful, abandoned child.

Fei Yuan stroked his chin, lost in thought. "This little monkey’s appearance reminds me of the long-secluded Cloud Ape Clan. Could he be an orphan from their tribe?"

As it happened, Fei Yuan was acquainted with an Elder from the Cloud Ape Clan from years ago. He wrote and sent a letter, but several days passed without any reply from them.

So Sang Luo decided to just let the Little Monkey stay and play with the children.

They were all young ones, so they could play well together. Little Yu didn’t have any siblings his age, so having the Little Monkey as a playmate was a good thing.

She also thought about whether she should give the Little Monkey a name.

"How about we call him Wukong?"

Little Yu asked curiously, "Why that name?"

"Ahem. In a story I read a long time ago, there was a very powerful little monkey named Wukong. How about I tell you that story to lull you to sleep tonight?"

"Okay!"

Sang Luo looked at the large gaggle of children, thinking, ’It would be nice if I had a chance to take them to the modern world for a visit. After all, it’s where their mother grew up. I’d love for them to experience a bit of that culture.’

In the end, the Little Monkey was given a nickname: Jin Tuantuan.

Just when they thought the matter concerning Jin Tuantuan had come to a close, another half-month went by, and the Cloud Ape Clan unexpectedly sent someone to retrieve the child!

They explained that Jin Tuantuan was their clan’s Young Master. A few years ago, the Cloud Ape Clan had experienced a great upheaval and a change in power. To protect their child, the Clan Leader and his wife had sent him to a Secret Realm. They never imagined he would be accidentally unearthed by Little Yu’er and the others—it was a truly absurd and comical blunder.

’In the eyes of the Cloud Ape Clan, we probably look like villains who kidnap children! We have to hurry and apologize!’

Fei Yuan suggested, "Luo’er, as Little Yu’s mother, you should take him to apologize in person. It will show more sincerity!"

"That makes sense. I’ll take the kids and go, then." Sang Luo was surprised to find that Fei Yuan had even prepared an apology gift for her. But just as she was about to leave, something felt off. "Aren’t you coming with me?"

’This guy usually sticks to me like glue, except when he’s at morning court or handling state affairs,’ she thought. ’And today he’s perfectly fine with me taking the kids out by myself? Now I’ve really seen everything!’

Fei Yuan sighed. "I’d love to go with you, Luo’er, but I’m swamped with work lately and really can’t get away. Next time, I promise!"

She scoffed. "Such a smooth talker."

The moment Sang Luo left with Little Yu, the Little Monkey, and the envoy,

Fei Yuan immediately sent messages to the other Beast Husbands and their children.

—Luo’er’s gone. She won’t be back for three to five days. Come quickly and prepare!

Upon receiving the message, Yan, Quan Jin, Si Ye, Anubia, Lan Cang, Minos, and Lou Xianyue all dropped what they were doing and rushed to the Phoenix Palace with their children.

The Phoenix Palace was a flurry of activity, inside and out, as all the servants were mobilized.

The entire palace, from top to bottom, was adorned with red silk and colorful lanterns. A red carpet thousands of meters long was rolled out from the palace gates. Every tree branch was hung with decorative colored ribbons, candy, and balloons. It was so festive and lively that anyone who didn’t know better might have thought another Young Master had just been born!
