Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 427 - 366: Heavenly Tribulation

"He’s awake?" Fei Yuan asked as he returned to the room, wanting to know what happened.

Sang Luo nodded. "I found that Rejuvenation Pearl fragment. Using the power of the complete Rejuvenation Pearl, I recovered the High Priest’s Divine Soul."

Fei Yuan didn’t look happy at all. He smelled the sweet, cloying, amorous scent on Sang Luo. He undid her collar and saw the marks on her neck, shoulders, and collarbones. His pupils trembled, and his fingers unconsciously tightened into a fist. For a Male Beast, there was nothing more agonizing than personally sending the female he loved to another male’s bed.

"You and he... did it?" His voice was hoarse.

To be honest, Fei Yuan hadn’t expected the High Priest to wake up.

Back then, he had willingly given up his living soul, having no more attachments to the world. Even a complete Rejuvenation Pearl wasn’t guaranteed to awaken him.

"Ahem, I used a little trick. I didn’t expect this Seductive Medicine to be so potent."

Sang Luo took out the bottle of Seductive Medicine. Just by smelling the residual scent, Fei Yuan felt his blood surge and his breathing deepen!

This medicine... had an extremely potent aphrodisiac effect on Male Beasts!

Even he could barely resist it.

’That old fox fell for it too?’

"Where is the High Priest now?"

"I don’t know. He was gone when I woke up." Sang Luo looked rather embarrassed.

Fei Yuan was puzzled. ’Perhaps because Yan had just woken up and his power hadn’t fully recovered, she was able to take advantage... But he should have been clear-headed afterward. Why didn’t he pursue the matter with her?’

Sang Luo touched her face, which was still hot. The High Priest, who had lived for who knows how many years, had apparently never been with a female.

The power inside her body was surging wildly, repeatedly trying to break through the shackles of the Venerable Realm.

Fei Yuan noticed the change in her body. He didn’t even have time for pleasantries or a proper farewell with Cang Qian. He simply left a letter and took her back to the Central region.

To face the Heavenly Tribulation.

Fei Yuan could only craft Reincarnation Pills for Heavenly Tribulations at or below his own realm. After advancing to the Venerable Realm, he had been trying to create an upgraded version of the Reincarnation Pill, but there hadn’t been nearly enough time. Sang Luo’s decision was too sudden. Fei Yuan only had one freshly made Reincarnation Pill in his hand, one that hadn’t been tested on anyone. He didn’t dare give it to her rashly.

RUMBLE—

Black clouds blotted out the sun, and the thunder roared like a dragon’s cry.

Sang Luo’s heart trembled at the sound. ’I have to take this step sooner or later. Better to get the pain over with now than drag it out!’

She snatched the Reincarnation Pill from his hand and swallowed it.

"Luo’er!" Fei Yuan didn’t even have time to stop her.

The Heavenly Tribulation didn’t disappear, but its power weakened considerably, becoming similar to when she advanced to the Emperor Rank.

Sang Luo sighed inwardly. ’I dodged the last two Heavenly Tribulations as best I could, but you can run, but you can’t hide forever. Now that my realm surpasses Lou Xianyue’s, the Thunder Control Magical Artifacts he made are no longer of much help. This time, I really have to face it on my own.’

Even Fei Yuan couldn’t help her.

The first bolt of the Heavenly Tribulation was gathering its power, ready to strike.

Fei Yuan stroked her hair, his heart aching. "Have you really decided?"

"Yes. Don’t worry. You’ve already weakened the power of the Heavenly Thunder a lot for me. Compared to you guys, I might seem like a delicate flower, but I’ve been through so much over the years. I can’t show weakness now... I’ve advanced too quickly recently, and my foundation is unstable. I need this tribulation to temper and solidify it. Constantly running away isn’t a solution," Sang Luo said with a smile.

Fei Yuan gazed into her determined, clear eyes and didn’t try to persuade her further. He gave a comforting, light laugh. "I’ll be waiting for Luo’er’s good news!"

Sang Luo wrapped her arms around his waist and gave him a quick kiss on the corner of his lips. Her voice was soft. "There isn’t much time left for Minos and me. After I get through the Heavenly Tribulation, I’ll head to the Space-Time Tunnel immediately. Remember to inform Quan Jin, the others, and the children. Don’t worry about me."

"...Alright."

Fei Yuan’s Adam’s apple bobbed. He watched her with a lingering gaze and reminded her, "Luo’er, what I’m most worried about is the backlash from the timeline. Remember, once you get there, try your best not to alter the timeline."

"A single unintentional action by an outsider can cause massive changes to the subsequent timeline, making innocent people vanish from the world or even wiping out an entire nation... The greater the impact your presence has on the original timeline, the more severe the backlash you will suffer. You could even have your very existence erased!"

Sang Luo understood the butterfly effect. Her expression turned solemn. "I’m only going this time to get the Life Soul Bone. I’ll leave as soon as I have it. I won’t interfere with anyone else’s destiny."

As for the optimal time to retrieve the Life Soul Bone, Sang Luo had already figured it out—

Right after the Holy Clan removed Minos’s Life Soul Bone, but before they had a chance to destroy it.

That way, it wouldn’t affect Minos’s past. She didn’t want to come back and find that "Minos" had become a complete stranger, totally different from the person in her memories.

As Sang Luo went to face the Heavenly Tribulation, Fei Yuan shouted,

"Luo’er, take care, and come back safely!"

Sang Luo turned her head and gave him a brilliant, dazzling smile.

Fei Yuan’s heart twisted in extreme agony!

「The Heavenly Tribulation lasted for a full half-month.」

Fei Yuan stood at the highest point of the pavilion, remaining there silently for half a month. He constantly monitored the situation with the Heavenly Tribulation, not letting the slightest disturbance escape his notice.

During this time, Quan Jin, Lou Xianyue, and the others also came over with their children.

Everyone held their breath.

Cang Qian also paid a visit. Watching the rolling Heavenly Thunder in the distance, he stroked his chin. "Who’s undergoing a tribulation?"

"Luo’er."

"Her?" Cang Qian was dumbfounded. "I remember she was only at the Emperor Rank the first time I met her. The last time I saw her, she was at the Late Stage Emperor Rank. And now she’s already undergoing another tribulation... breaking through to the Venerable Realm?"

"Yes."

Cang Qian was speechless. He turned to look at the tribulation again and sighed with emotion, "This little female’s fortune is too strong. If only she could have a child with me..."

Fei Yuan shot him a look that wasn’t quite a smile. "Senior Brother, don’t mind me for being blunt, but you’re not worthy."

Cang Qian clicked his tongue. "I know she’s not into me."

"You haven’t been to the Central region in years. Did you come all this way just to gossip?"

"No, Master is missing. I came to let you know."

"Yes, I know."

Seeing that Fei Yuan wasn’t the least bit surprised, Cang Qian considered a certain possibility. "Don’t tell me you two did it? The last time you both came, you did nothing and left in a hurry. Given your personality, you wouldn’t come looking for me for no reason..."

"Master has been resurrected."

Fei Yuan’s four words cut off his rambling.

Cang Qian was petrified.

"R-Really?!"

"Yes. Didn’t I discuss the matter of the Rejuvenation Pearl with you last time? Luo’er had two Rejuvenation Pearl fragments, and with the one you had, they merged into a complete Soul Soul bead, successfully resurrecting Master." Fei Yuan’s smile was harmless. "According to the contract we signed, after Master’s resurrection, the Rejuvenation Pearl belongs to us. Senior Brother, you’re not thinking of backing out, are you?"

"That... Of course, I wouldn’t go back on my word!" Cang Qian snapped out of his daze. "Master was resurrected, so why didn’t he say anything? He left without even seeing the two of us?"

"Perhaps he went back to Qingqiu?"

"Yes, that’s possible. I’ll make a trip to Qingqiu then. Do you want to go with me?"

"No. I’m going to pray for Little Luoruo."
