Future Beast World: Becoming A Pampered Beauty-Chapter 36 - 23: Breath of Time and Space

"You’re not a witch doctor, what do you know about medicine? Don’t come here and cause trouble at a critical time like this!" The witch doctor’s apprentice, a hot-tempered Rabbit Beast, didn’t give Sang Luo a pleasant look at all. He was about to call someone to throw this outsider female out.

Sang Luo said, "Um, I know a few things about the principles of medicinal herbs, and I’ve treated injuries before."

"Is that so?" the Great Witch Doctor looked over, his expression skeptical.

Li Man nodded, acting as a witness. "It’s true! Her former partner was severely injured during a Beast Tide and nearly died. Thank goodness Luoluo was there!"

The story of Sang Luo bringing Lan Cang, who had been declared dead, back alive from the Beast Tide had become something of a legend in the Kordo Tribe. No one knew how she did it, but it undoubtedly shrouded her in an even deeper veil of mystery. Secretly, many young Beastmen wanted to become her mate.

Since Sang Luo had stepped forward to help, Li Man naturally had to back her up.

"Hmph. Then let her try," the Great Witch Doctor said coolly.

"My healing methods are a bit unusual. Could I ask the witch doctor and everyone else to wait outside? It will be more convenient for me to work."

Hearing this, the suspicion in everyone’s eyes deepened. ’What is she planning to do? Why does she need everyone to leave? Is she going to murder him?!’

If they didn’t know that Sang Luo had no grudge against Kemu, the others would have truly suspected she had ulterior motives.

But seeing that Kemu was breathing more out than in, he had essentially been given a death sentence.

Ayia’s face was ashen. "Let Luoluo try."

Since his partner had spoken, the others naturally had no objections.

"I will bring him back alive," Sang Luo said to Ayia before they left.

Ayia’s heart trembled. She clenched her fists, a faint, fragile hope unexpectedly blooming within her...

After everyone had left the room, Sang Luo took a deep breath. It was true she knew a little about medical principles, but she didn’t know how to set bones or cure illnesses. At a time like this, it was time to use her trump card.

The power she had been cultivating within her was considerable. It was a healing-attribute Wood Element Power that could not only cure the Black Qi from a Beastman’s genetic rampages but also had a remarkable healing effect on physical injuries.

This was also the first time she had faced such a severe injury...

"ARGH!"

A moment later, a blood-curdling scream came from inside the room.

Everyone outside instantly grew tense, nearly rushing back into the room.

The Rabbit Beast stomped his foot in frustration. "I told you we shouldn’t have let an outsider female handle this! What does she know about medicine?! This time, Kemu is probably done for—"

Before he could finish, a graceful figure lifted the door flap and walked out. Sang Luo smiled at the anxious crowd outside. "The treatment is finished. Do you want to go in and see the patient?"

’So fast?’

Disbelief filled everyone’s hearts. Even Ayia was a little skeptical and hurried inside to see.

Kemu was awake. He weakly got out of bed and took two limping steps on the floor.

Ayia’s tears turned to a smile of relief as she rushed over to support him. The two embraced.

"The major injuries are mostly treated, but he still has some internal ones. Eat well during this time, and after a few months of rest, he’ll be back to his peak condition." Sang Luo’s casual demeanor left everyone dumbfounded.

"How... how did you do that? Can you teach me?!" The Rabbit Beast was utterly incredulous. He looked at Sang Luo with eyes full of doubt, but also a hint of respect.

"It’s a secret recipe. Naturally, it can’t be shared!"

"..."

Suddenly, a wisp of green light emanated from Kemu’s body. He was about to advance in rank!

It was truly a blessing in disguise.

Ayia was overjoyed. Kemu was so excited his face turned red. He planted a firm kiss on Ayia’s cheek, let her go, and then took out all his worldly possessions to thank Sang Luo before going to stabilize his new realm.

Soon, a Beastman came with a message. "Excuse me, is the noble female Sang Luo here? The High Priest wishes to see you!"

’The High Priest?’ 𝒻𝓇𝑒𝘦𝘸𝑒𝒷𝓃ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝒸ℴ𝘮

Sang Luo wondered to herself; she didn’t know any High Priest. Ayia smiled and said, "Kemu is one of the High Priest of the Thousand Elephant Tribe’s grandchildren. You saved such a talented grandchild of hers, so the High Priest will definitely want to thank you generously. Don’t worry, just go!"

Sang Luo nodded and followed the Elephant Clan Beastman to the stone residence where the High Priest lived.

The High Priest was an ancient, ancient female. The skin on her face was a wrinkled, crumpled mass, and there was indeed a slight resemblance to Kemu in her features. However, she showed none of the frailty of a typical elder. Instead, she emanated a faint, divine radiance that naturally inspired a sense of reverence.

The High Priest’s gaze fell upon Sang Luo, filled with inquiry and scrutiny.

Sang Luo held her breath and frowned slightly. It felt as if her innermost self was being seen through.

"Thank you, noble female, for saving my grandchild. This is a small token of my gratitude. I hope you will accept it." The High Priest had someone bring out a wooden box. Inside was a deep purple Beast Crystal!

Since Sang Luo had done the work, she accepted it without hesitation.

Just as she was about to leave, the High Priest called out to her again and dismissed the attending Beastmen.

"You are very different. On you... there is a trace of the aura of space-time."

Sang Luo’s entire body tensed, and she secretly gathered a wisp of the Power of thunder and lightning in her hand.

The High Priest saw her tension and quickly softened her tone. "Noble female, please do not worry. I have no intention of prying into your secrets. Besides, with my meager talent, I am incapable of uncovering your secrets anyway. Please, rest assured."

"..." Sang Luo looked back at her. She had heard that the High Priests of certain large tribes and cities possessed mysterious powers beyond those of ordinary people.

When Ayia had mentioned it, she’d thought it all sounded a bit mystical, like the Witches the older generation spoke of. Now, it seemed there was some real substance to it.

"In my youth, I traveled to the East Continent and learned the Witchcraft and Divination Skill there. Unfortunately, my talent is too poor, so I cannot deduce anything more. But I know that you, noble female, are no ordinary person. If you ever need my help or that of the Thousand Elephant Tribe in the future, please do not hesitate to ask!" The High Priest handed her a Jade Token.

"Thank you." Sang Luo accepted the Jade Token. She walked to the doorway, then turned back halfway. "I have something I would like to ask you, High Priest!"

"Please speak, noble female."

"You said this ’aura of space-time’ on me... what does that mean?"

The High Priest hesitated for a moment before answering truthfully. "Although I cannot deduce your origins, an aura of space-time is only leaked when different space-times meet, collide, and are compressed. The aura on you belongs to another world. I wonder... have you perhaps encountered a powerful expert who has mastered the Space-time Law?"

This was precisely why the High Priest wanted to befriend Sang Luo.

’With her appearance, temperament, and expensive silk clothes, she must be surrounded by many powerful, high-talented Beastmen. Her ability to save Kemu was likely due to her using a partner’s Talent Power. This aura of space-time on her could mean she has met one of the legendary, powerful Beastmen who have mastered the Space-time Law.’

Sang Luo knew the High Priest had misunderstood. The aura of space-time was on her, of course, because she was not from this world. However, this misunderstanding provided a good excuse to allay others’ suspicions about her identity. She breathed a secret sigh of relief.

A hint of shyness appeared on her face. "Well..."

The High Priest became even more certain that this was the noble female of some Beast King.

"Is there any way to conceal this aura?" Sang Luo frowned, looking uneasy as if she feared it would bring disaster.

"Please rest assured, noble female. No matter how powerful a Beastman is, they will not be able to detect the aura on you. Only those who know the Witchcraft and Divination Skill can perceive it, and very, very few have mastered that skill. If you are still worried, the Jade Token contains some of my power. It can help conceal it a little."
