The Ultimate Beast World Glow-Up novel Chapter 161

She could feel the heat from the chest behind her rise sharply, moving with his heavy breaths. Hot air brushed against her ear. 

Leon tried hard to rein in his emotions. He buried his head on Rosalie’s shoulder and said in a low voice, “Matriarch, please don’t tease me.” 

Rosalie felt something hard pressing uncomfortably against her. She laughed, broke free from Leon’s arms, and ran outside. 

“I’m going to eat first. You should come out soon!” 

Leon leaned back on his hands and sat on the bed, watching Rosalie run off after teasing him. He looked helpless. 

After all, she was the matriarch he’d chosen himself. He could only accept it. 

After finishing her meal, Rosalie asked Declan and Leon to go into the city with her. Jewel had been there yesterday, so she hadn’t been able to ask much. 

Today, she needed to carefully ask Yuna about Jewel’s background and why Jewel wanted their rice. 

On the way, Rosalie told Declan about the gold and told him to return it as soon as possible. 

Declan agreed reluctantly and said he would return it house by house over the next few days. 

Rosalie shot him a sharp look. He had taken it from more than one house? This little thief dragon really had no shame. 

The reason Declan was unwilling was because he had not actually stolen those things. Back then, he had taken them from the tribe leader to please Rosalie. 

Now, the tribe leader didn’t even want to see him, a dragon who favored outsiders, so Declan felt he might as well keep them. 

But seeing how firm Rosalie was, he decided to return them anyway. As long as it made Rosalie happy, it was fine. 

When they arrived at Yuna’s place, they didn’t see her. A guard at the door stopped Rosalie and said coldly, “Mrs. Sherman is not home today. Please come back another day.” 

This attitude was clearly wrong. Normally, there were no guards at the city lord’s estate, and Rosalie could always enter directly. Yuna had never turned her away before. 

Does Yuna not want to see me? Or did Jewel do something again? 

Rosalie pressed her lips together and glanced outside. Several unfamiliar, tall beastmen were watching from nearby. 

Rosalie understood instantly. She clutched her stomach and bent over in pain, cold sweat pouring down her forehead. 

Her voice became strained, and she looked extremely uncomfortable. 

“My stomach hurts so badly!” 

Leon and Declan rushed to Rosalie’s side at once. With their bodies blocking the view, Rosalie shot them a look to signal she was pretending. 

Only then did Leon and Declan relax, but they still acted very anxious. 

Declan’s eyes flickered as he grabbed Monica’s wrist and snapped, “You touched my matriarch’s stomach, and then she started hurting. I don’t care. You must go with her to the Healers’ Guild.” 

Monica also pretended to be shocked, widening her eyes. “You’re being unreasonable. Her health has nothing to do with me. I’m not going! 

“If you want to go, then go by yourselves.” 

Declan’s expression turned fierce and frightening. Leon spoke up at the right moment, “Enough. The most important thing now is to take the matriarch to the Healers’ Guild.”
