Proud Goddess Falls in Love with Me-Chapter 524 - 484: The Seventh Tribulation_1

Zhong Ling’er rolled her eyes at Lu Chuan and said, "If I truly ascended to become an immortal, then you wouldn’t be able to see me anymore."

Lu Chuan’s face showed a hint of confusion as he asked, "The sudden increase in your power just now, wasn’t it because you had passed the seventh tribulation?"

Zhong Ling’er nodded and said, "Indeed, it was after passing the seventh tribulation that I underwent such a transformation, but there’s still a long way to go before ascending to become an immortal."

"I received a lot of information in my mind just now, and only then did I understand what the so-called ’chosen one of destiny’ means. To put it simply, it’s like being the lucky one chosen by the heavens. My Birth Sign Jade Pendant contains an extremely majestic power, which I can absorb after passing the seventh tribulation. That power could make me very strong, but I feel that becoming an immortal is still very, very far away."

Lu Chuan nodded. The phrase ’ascending to become an immortal’ was something Zhong Tianyuan had said. In his opinion, for Zhong Ling’er to obtain such vast power and become a unique mighty being in the world was equivalent to ascending to immortality. After all, for ordinary people, ’Cultivators’ were not much different from immortals, so this expression was not a problem.

And with the power from her Birth Sign Jade Pendant, even if Zhong Ling’er didn’t reach the Cultivation World’s level of ascending to immortality, she would definitely be a top-notch powerful being, possibly reaching the Divinity Transformation Stage or even the Body Integration Realm!

Lu Chuan still looked at Zhong Ling’er with eyes full of envy. Without the need for laborious cultivation, she could become the most powerful existence in the world. Surely anyone who traded places with her would be extremely envious.

Of course, he also understood that the advantages she enjoyed now were earned through one life-and-death tribulation after another. Zhong Ling’er had successfully passed seven life-and-death tribulations, hence she now had the luxury of gaining immense strength without cultivating. It was enviable, but had she failed even once, Zhong Ling’er wouldn’t have existed in this world anymore.

At any time, risks and rewards are relative. Among a hundred chosen ones of destiny, having one who ultimately passes seven tribulations would be considered a high chance.

He didn’t dwell on these thoughts but instead looked at Zhong Ling’er and asked, "What exactly was your seventh tribulation? Why did it suddenly come to pass at this time?"

Upon hearing this question, Zhong Ling’er’s face blushed as she said, "My seventh tribulation wasn’t really a life-and-death tribulation, but rather... a tribulation of love."

"A tribulation of love?" Lu Chuan was stunned.

Zhong Ling’er nodded and said, "This tribulation would only appear when I deeply fell in love with someone. The deeper my love for that person, the more my Birth Sign Jade Pendant would react, until I was willing to sacrifice my life for that person and actually took action. That’s when my tribulation would truly be considered complete."

"It was only after realizing that my seventh tribulation was actually a tribulation of love that I figured out some of the reactions I had seen in my pendant. If I remember correctly, my Birth Sign Jade Pendant always reacted whenever I was intimate with you, and it grew stronger each time until this time, when I disregarded my own safety to save you, achieving true fulfillment."

Lu Chuan looked at Zhong Ling’er dumbfounded and said, "So when your grandfather had someone calculate that your seventh tribulation would be in the Island Country, it wasn’t because Grand Elder Huang Quan was there, nor because you’d face life-threatening dangers, but because you were going to the Island Country with me?"

"And your jade pendant reacted not because you encountered danger, but because by that time, you had already begun to develop feelings for me?"

Zhong Ling’er nodded shyly and said, "Something like that, yes. I didn’t expect you to be the tribulation I had to face. If I hadn’t fallen for you back then, wouldn’t my tribulation have been impossible to pass for my entire life?"

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, feeling that the expert Zhong Tianyuan found was truly amazing for being able to foresee that Zhong Ling’er’s tribulation would take place in the Island Country, which implied that he deduced she would go there with Lu Chuan. After all, he was Zhong Ling’er’s final tribulation. It was hard to imagine what sort of predictive ability could calculate a matter with such precision.

On the other hand, this person also seemed to be the one pushing him and Zhong Ling’er to deepen their interaction. After all, if he hadn’t informed Zhong Tianyuan about Zhong Ling’er’s situation, Zhong Tianyuan wouldn’t have asked Lu Chuan to protect her.

The so-called cause is the result, and the result is the cause; the cycle of karma is unfathomable.

From this, one could also see how extraordinarily rare and valuable Yun Zhongzi was, having comprehended the reversal of karma, a heaven-defying Divine Skill.

He didn’t ponder further. Regardless, Zhong Ling’er overcoming her last tribulation was something to rejoice over. Moreover, without Zhong Ling’er, he would certainly have died today. He decided silently in his heart to treat Zhong Ling’er better from now on.

He looked at Zhong Ling’er with a smile on his face and said, "Maybe we were already entwined in our past lives. It seems we’re naturally fated to be together, invariably attracting each other no matter the time."

Zhong Ling’er gave him a disdainful look and huffed proudly, but her eyes were filled with joy.

The next second, she began to cough violently, appearing even weaker than before.

Seeing this, Lu Chuan immediately asked, "Can’t you absorb some power from your Birth Sign Jade Pendant to heal your injuries?"

Zhong Ling’er said, "After the last tribulation, I need to fully absorb the power in my Birth Sign Jade Pendant to successfully acquire the status befitting a chosen one of destiny. But back then, I used some of the pendant’s power to teach that despicable guy a lesson, resulting in the power within the pendant becoming incomplete. If I start absorbing it in this state, there might be some serious problems during the process."

"So I must restore the power in my Birth Sign Jade Pendant before I can officially begin absorbing it." ƒгeewebnovёl_com

Lu Chuan, upon hearing this, asked, "Then how can we restore the power in your Birth Sign Jade Pendant?"

Zhong Ling’er said, "It seems like adding the power from a Heaven and Earth Treasure or Spiritual Medicine should do the trick."

Lu Chuan pondered for a moment and then said, "Then first use the power in the pendant to release the seal in my Dantian, and I’ll help you restore the missing power in your pendant."

Without hesitation, Zhong Ling’er used the power of the pendant to release the seal within Lu Chuan’s Dantian.

Lu Chuan immediately took out the four-hundred-year spirit medicine from his storage space and asked, "Will this work?"

That spirit medicine was precisely the one Lu Chuan intended to use to concoct the Meridian Protecting Pill.

Although four-hundred-year spiritual medicines were extremely rare and difficult to find, compared to Zhong Ling’er’s life, they were insignificant.

Zhong Ling’er would sacrifice her very life for him, so how could he possibly feel heartache over a Spiritual Medicine.

When Zhong Ling’er saw the Spiritual Medicine and felt the rich Spiritual Energy within, she quickly nodded and said, "Yes!"

Lu Chuan handed over the Spiritual Medicine and said, "Quickly replenish the power in your Birth Sign Jade Pendant, then absorb it. Your injuries won’t hold out much longer."

Zhong Ling’er nodded hastily, took the Spiritual Medicine, then picked up her Birth Sign Jade Pendant. Instantly, the pendant glowed brightly and absorbed the Spiritual Medicine into it.

After confirming that the power in the Birth Sign Jade Pendant had been fully replenished, Zhong Ling’er looked at Lu Chuan and said, "Once I begin to absorb the power from the Birth Sign Jade Pendant, I will fall into a deep sleep. This process could take a very long time, maybe a month, perhaps a year, or even several years. Will you wait for me?"

Lu Chuan said with a smile, "Of course. When you wake up again, you’ll have become a fairy. How could I possibly abandon a fairy?"

Zhong Ling’er wrapped her arms around Lu Chuan, and then they kissed.

After a long embrace, Zhong Ling’er and Lu Chuan separated, and she said, "During the time I’m asleep, you can go to Qingci to relieve your boredom, but don’t go flirting with other girls!"

Lu Chuan immediately gave a guilty cough and said, "I’ll try my best."

Zhong Ling’er immediately glared at him and angrily shouted, "You big jerk!"

"Hmph, you can go flirt with others if you want; I won’t care. After all, this is your last chance. When I wake up again, you might not be able to beat me. If you still dare to mess with other girls then, I’ll break your legs!"

Having said that, she activated her Birth Sign Jade Pendant.

The Jade Pendant levitated and positioned itself at the center of Zhong Ling’er’s forehead, then slowly faded into her and disappeared.

Zhong Ling’er immediately fell into a deep sleep, a faint glow appeared on the surface of her body, protecting her.

Watching Zhong Ling’er fall asleep, Lu Chuan showed a helpless smile and muttered, "When you wake up again, I might indeed not be able to beat you, but don’t underestimate your rivals in love; some of them are quite fierce. I just hope when you fight with them in the future, I won’t get caught in the crossfire."

Thinking about the life he might face in the future, Lu Chuan felt a headache coming on.

He shook his head, stopping these thoughts, and took out an elixir pill to eat, slowly regaining some strength. Then, he picked up Zhong Ling’er and flew straight back towards Jiangbei.

Han Family Mansion.

Lu Chuan asked Han Qingci to arrange a room, settled Zhong Ling’er down, and specifically found three maids to take turns guarding in front of the room. They were instructed to notify Lu Chuan and Han Qingci immediately if there was any disturbance.

Lu Chuan also laid down layers of protective spells around the room, always keeping an eye on Zhong Ling’er’s condition, so that he could sense any emergency at the first moment.

After making sure Zhong Ling’er was well settled, Han Qingci finally had the chance to ask Lu Chuan for the details.

Lu Chuan recounted everything that had happened to him and Yu Sisi after leaving the Han family to Han Qingci.

Han Qingci listened with great interest. When she learned that Yu Sisi’s true purpose was not to seek revenge on a past-life romantic rival but to sever the bitter longing and solitude that had tormented her for a thousand years, she was moved to tears.

Later, when she found out that Zhong Ling’er had completed her last tribulation to save Lu Chuan, she said earnestly, "All the women who love Brother Lu Chuan would give their lives for him, so I have to be a woman who would do the same!"

Then she looked seriously at Lu Chuan and said, "Brother Lu Chuan, let’s jump off a building together, and I’ll cushion your fall!"

Lu Chuan immediately smacked her on the head, telling her to behave and not to attract deadly trouble just to prove herself, as that wasn’t the true expression of love for someone.

Han Qingci could only hold her head and agree with Lu Chuan.

Afterward, she said that she and Zhong Ling’er had agreed to serve Lu Chuan together. During Zhong Ling’er’s coma, she would definitely not do anything with Lu Chuan. Otherwise, it would be a betrayal of Zhong Ling’er.

Lu Chuan was torn between laughter and tears but said nothing. After all, having such an agreement between good sisters should be comforting; at the very least, Han Qingci and Zhong Ling’er would certainly not fight over him in the future.

That night, Han Qingci indeed kept her word. She arranged another room for Lu Chuan and went back to sleep in her own.

But the next night, someone, unable to resist, blushed, dressed only in a thin nightgown, stealthily slipped into Lu Chuan’s room under the moonlight, climbed onto his bed, and claimed it was insomnia that brought her to Lu Chuan’s side to talk.

As they talked, they ended up wrestling, and the earth shook...

Meanwhile, in the distant Penglai Immortal Domain.

The Vice Sect Leader, clothed in white with white hair and beard, stood with a group of Nascent Soul experts in the great hall where soul lamps were kept, all watching with somber faces the soul lamps representing Voracious Wolf, Army Destroyer, and Seven Kills that had gone out, sinking into a deep silence.
