The Ultimate Beast World Glow-Up novel Chapter 155

Chapter 155 Temptation 

Rosalie could clearly feel strong hostility, even though she’d never met Jewel before. 

The only possible reason was that after failing to take the seat, Jewel had set her sights on Rosalie’s husbands. 

As Rosalie watched them leave, she had a feeling this wouldn’t end so easily. females in the tribes rarely traveled far unless something serious happened or they were exiled. 

Rosalie knew the nearby tribes quite well, and she was certain no such female existed among them. 

So why did this female come from far away with such a grand presence? 

Because of her, Rosalie stayed uneasy even after returning home. If it weren’t already so late, she would’ve gone to ask Yuna, who might’ve known something. 

Julien noticed Rosalie’s strange mood and fell into deep thought. 

That night, Rosalie lay on the bed with her hand resting on her lower belly. She felt it had grown a little rounder, though it was still soft. She wondered if the baby inside was a little snake or a little fox. 

As she was still guessing the baby’s species, someone pushed the door open. 

Julien walked in, bare-chested. 

Rosalie jumped up from the bed in shock. 

“What are you doing?” she asked. 

Julien stuffed a damp beast hide into her hands, then straightened and lowered his head. “Matriarch, I was wrong. This afternoon, I shouldn’t have let anyone touch me.” 

Julien’s chest was pale and almost glowing. As he came closer, a faint, pleasant scent drifted over. It was his natural scent from the Westlands. 

The scent was soft and lingering, almost mysterious. Rosalie had long wanted to ask what scent Julien and Gael used, because it smelled so good. 

Without thinking, Rosalie leaned closer, her nose bumping into his chest. 

It felt soft, not as hard as she imagined. Startled, Rosalie quickly stepped back and cleared her throat. 

“Ahem… You smell really nice.” 

As soon as she said it, the air froze. Rosalie felt embarrassed, realizing her words only made things more awkward. 

Even faced with such temptation, Rosalie refused to give in. 

She lay back down on the bed, facing the wall. 

“I’m going to sleep. You should go now.” 

Behind her, there was silence. After a long moment, his warm body moved past her. That rich scent brushed her nose again, making her heart beat faster. 

Julien pulled the blanket over Rosalie. 

“Matriarch, good night.” 

Rosalie kept her eyes closed and only opened them after she heard the door close. Even in the darkness, the lingering scent remained. 

The next day, Rosalie checked the rice and wheat fields and saw everything running smoothly. 

The silkworm house had also been completed. Rosalie told Elijah to collect silkworms from the trees, while Cameron picked mulberry leaves and placed them all into the special boxes inside the silkworm house.
