Help The Villainess Trapped in the Beast World's Drama (by Lotus Seeds) novel Chapter 562

Chapter 562: Chapter 528: A Bit Strange

A trace of doubt crossed Shen Tang’s mind, is breaking through realms really this easy?

Xiao Jin took nearly a year to break from the ninth rank to the tenth rank, almost losing his life several times.

But Jia Lan, in just one day, has leapt several ranks from the peak of the eighth rank, straight to the King Realm above the tenth rank! Such a talent is not just shocking; it is downright terrifying!

Shen Tang was naturally very happy, yet a slight unease grew within her, feeling that things might not be so simple. Unfortunately, the dog system had not yet awakened from its slumber, and she couldn’t investigate further.

"Hmm? What are you daydreaming about again?" Jia Lan looked amusedly at the worried appearance of the little female, his slender, jade-like fingers gently pinching her fair cheek.

He glanced towards the distance, with a slight frown, and worry in his voice, "I don’t know how many black-clad figures are still hiding here. The bloody smell from the battle will soon attract more mutant species. We should leave."

Shen Tang looked at the murky, blood-tainted sea area, where the low roar of beast herds faintly echoed from afar. Her face turned slightly pale as she instinctively held the man’s lean waist tightly and nodded emphatically, "Mm, let’s go!"

Jia Lan looked at the little female clinging closely to him in his arms, a mysterious smile curling at his lips. His strong arms wrapped around her waist, and his vigorous fishtail drew a graceful and swift arc, leaving the polluted sea area at the fastest speed.

Unexpectedly, on the way back to the Imperial Palace, they met the High Priest.

The usually gentle and composed High Priest had a rare hint of panic on his face.

Seeing the two return safely, a flash of surprise crossed his eyes, yet he obviously breathed a sigh of relief.

Evidently, he came specifically to find them.

"Children, are you alright?" Lunus asked with concern.

In front of elders, Shen Tang awkwardly extricated herself from Jia Lan’s embrace, her cheeks slightly red, shaking her head, "We... are safe. By the way, High Priest, how is the situation at the Imperial Palace?"

Lunus smiled, "No need to worry, I have successfully rescued Your Majesty. I initially wanted to invite Her Majesty to stay at the Divine Hall temporarily, but she insisted on quickly reorganizing the army and clearing out the rebels after her recovery..."

He sighed lightly and said regretfully, "I didn’t expect the Priest Temple to be breached. These days, the pollution force is getting stronger, even my power is hard to suppress it."

Shen Tang thought of the current situation of the Forgotten Sea, her mood particularly heavy.

Even if the High Priest can hardly suppress the growing power of pollution, at this rate, the Sea Clan being completely swallowed by pollution is probably just a matter of time.

Moreover, this time will come sooner than on land.

Lunus, noticing their gloominess, gently comforted, "Good children, guarding the sea area is the responsibility of the Priest Temple, you juniors shouldn’t worry about it."

If the pollution becomes truly uncontrollable one day, he at least has a last resort —

The sacrifice of himself.

Of course, he doesn’t plan to inform others about this.

Lunus saw their tattered clothes, evidently having gone through a fierce battle, and even though the wounds had healed, it wasn’t hard to imagine how severe the injuries had been.

He frowned, his gentle voice mixed with a hint of cold sternness and reproach, "What exactly happened? You should have waited for me at the Divine Hall, why did you suddenly disappear?"

Shen Tang swallowed, her attitude of admitting fault very proactive, "Sorry, High Priest, it’s my fault! I was too impulsive at that time, deceived by someone with an ulterior motive, and got caught in the Forgotten Sea, implicating Jia Lan."

"You even ventured deep into the Forgotten Sea?" Lunus frowned even deeper, turning to the silent Jia Lan beside him, his deep, authoritative golden eyes rippling, and his gaze slightly lowered, "Did you go alone?"

"...Mm."
