Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 142 - 86: Undergoing the Heavenly Tribulation
Sang Luo tugged his ear. "I’m going to take a nap."
"Mm."
Lan Cang didn’t disturb her, letting her sleep peacefully on the road.
Over the past few months, he had also learned many ways to identify top-grade Spiritual materials. Most of the time, he could harvest plenty of Spiritual materials without needing Sang Luo to use her Talent Skill.
Unless they encountered a particularly troublesome enemy, Sang Luo would help him out a bit. The rest of the time on their journey, she was basically asleep.
...
「The Forbidden Lands.」
Lan Cang battled an Evil Flood Dragon for seven days and seven nights before finally killing it.
"This flood dragon was about to transform into a true dragon. I heard that Dragon Beasts love to collect all sorts of treasures. Let’s go search its cave; we might be able to score some good stuff!"
"Okay."
Lan Cang took Sang Luo to the cave where the Evil Flood Dragon had lived.
The cave was vast and extremely damp, filled with a faint, foul stench.
Deep inside the cave, Sang Luo found the flood dragon’s treasury. Beneath scattered treasure chests lay a trove of Beast Crystals, Spirit Stones, and other precious items... All the good stuff went into her space. It was a bountiful harvest.
After they came out, Lan Cang went down the cliff to find the flood dragon’s corpse and dug a Beast Crystal out of it.
The pure power contained within this Beast Crystal far exceeded any that Sang Luo had ever seen. Its surface was even wrapped in a wisp of Innate Thunder Breath.
As usual, Lan Cang wanted to feed the Beast Crystal to her, but Sang Luo shook her head and pressed it into his hand. "This Beast Crystal’s properties match your Talent Power. You should eat it."
Lan Cang glanced at her belly, reluctant to eat it. "My talent is limited; my power won’t see another major breakthrough. But the child has great potential. Their future accomplishments will surely surpass mine."
Sang Luo insisted, "Only by becoming stronger can you better raise our child. Otherwise, if the child is in danger someday and you, their Beast Father, can’t protect them, I’ll be coming to hold you accountable."
Lan Cang fell silent for a moment, his voice low. "Luoluo, you... you need to find powerful Male Beasts, don’t you?"
He had never asked her, but he could guess some of the truth.
Sang Luo froze for a second, not expecting him to suddenly bring this up. Coming back to her senses, she nodded. "That’s right. There’s something I want to accomplish. The more talented and powerful a Beastman is, the more they can help me."
"...No wonder I can’t keep you." Lan Cang gave a bitter laugh, took the Beast Crystal from her hand, and ate it.
His face instantly turned deathly pale, then flushed crimson. Wisps of the Power of thunder and lightning flickered across the surface of his skin, looking as if they would burst out of his body!
Lan Cang immediately sat down cross-legged and began to meditate, absorbing the Power of thunder and lightning.
At the same time, the once-clear sky was suddenly filled with dark, oppressive clouds. Lightning snaked and roared through them—it was Purple Gold Thunder.
Purple Gold Thunder is the most powerful form of Thunder Power.
Sang Luo looked down and saw the power in Lan Cang’s body soaring, on the verge of breaking through from Half-King Peak to the True King realm.
The Heavenly Tribulation was about to descend.
Once he passed this Heavenly Tribulation, he would completely transform into a True King. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢
Sang Luo quickly retreated more than a dozen li away to avoid being caught in the Heavenly Tribulation. ’Looks like this lightning will be striking for a few days and nights,’ she thought, rubbing her belly. ’I’ll have to find my own food for a while.’
Sang Luo arrived at a Stone Forest, took out a few pieces of jerky from her space, and took a couple of bites.
A beautiful, decadent voice sounded by her ear.
"Found you."
"...Why are you here again?" Sang Luo paused and looked behind her, narrowing her eyes.
’This guy is impossible to shake off.’
Anubia stepped forward, gazing deeply at her face. "Shi Yi said that if I get you pregnant with my child, you’ll become obedient."
"..." ’What kind of shitty advice is that?’ Sang Luo forced a smile that didn’t reach her eyes. "You’re too late for that."
"What?"
Anubia’s gaze immediately shifted downward to her stomach. Only then did he notice that her lower abdomen was much rounder, looking slightly out of place with her slender waist.
’Could it be?’
"You must have a lot of Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures under your command, right? Would you mind taking some out for me to eat?"
"Whose child is it? That snake’s? Or that lion’s?" Anubia was now certain she was pregnant. Only a pregnant mother would have such a strong craving for Spiritual Treasures.
"Wrong guess. It’s neither of them."
Anubia’s beautiful golden eyes widened in disbelief. "You! You promiscuous female, just how many males have you been involved with?"
"That’s a boring question. Since you’re here, you can find me some food."
"What?"
"If you want to be my mate, then you’d also be the child’s Beast Father. Naturally, you should shoulder the heavy responsibility of finding food."
He stared at Sang Luo in shocked disbelief for a long time. "...You’re carrying another Male Beast’s child, and you want me to help raise it?"
"If you’re not willing, then forget it. Don’t block my way, I’ll go find it myself."
Just as Sang Luo was about to leave, Anubia grabbed her slender wrist. Resigned to his fate, he took a bottle of milky-white Spiritual Liquid from his spatial earring and handed it to her.
"What’s this?" Sang Luo opened the bottle and sniffed. Smelling the rich fragrance from within, her eyes lit up instantly. She knew this had to be something good.
"Bone Marrow Cleansing Liquid." Anubia’s expression was displeased. "It cleanses the marrow and tempers the bones, improving a Beastman’s bloodline talent. The younger the person who takes it, the better the effect."
"Anu, you really are my good Anu!"
’This is exactly what I need right now!’
Overwhelmed by the immense surprise, Sang Luo threw her arms around him and planted a heavy kiss on his cheek. Anubia’s face flushed and his heart pounded. As if possessed, he took out several more bottles and jars from his space. "There’s also this..."
Sang Luo took the items from his hand and ate them all.
Anubia snapped back to reality, realizing what a foolish thing he had just done. He quickly said, "That... I went through a lot of trouble to find those. They were for our child."
"It had to be used sooner or later. Might as well use it now. We might not be able to use it later."
"You don’t want to have a child with me?" He grew even angrier.
Sang Luo looked up and seriously studied the stunningly handsome, black-haired youth before her. It had been a while, and Anubia’s cultivation had also broken through to the True King’s Initial Realm. His talent was excellent, and he was good-looking—definitely within her range of interest.
’The things the Insect Clan did were disgusting, but in all fairness, Anubia treated her well and had even saved her once... If it’s just for Yin and Yang Dual Cultivation, with that handsome face and decent ’skills’, I’d be quite willing,’ Sang Luo mused. ’But to bear a child for a member of the Insect Clan... I’m not sure I’m mentally prepared for that.’
"What’s your original form?"
"Have a child with me, and you’ll find out naturally."
"..." ’In other words, his original form is definitely not a looker. He’s afraid that if he tells me, I won’t be willing to bear his child.’
Sang Luo ignored him, stretching and yawning. After eating a pile of nourishing treasures, a wave of drowsiness washed over her. "I’m sleepy. I want to sleep. You..."
Anubia swept Sang Luo into his arms and, in an instant, they were in a clean cave. Sang Luo was speechless. She glanced at the scenery outside the cave; it wasn’t the icy, snowy landscape of the North Continent. ’This guy used Space Jumping to take me who-knows-where,’ she thought. ’But it doesn’t matter. I left a mark at the original spot. I can just use Space Jumping to go back after I wake up.’
