Chapter 258: Where is the Holy Son?
Putting aside the fact that Sang Luo currently has no intention of finding a new beastman husband, even if she wanted to advance through childbirth, she definitely didn't want to be abducted and forced into a transaction, compelled to conceive and give birth for a strange male she's never met!
She would never do as they wished!
Her mental power could only detect the edge of this cathedral palace before being unable to extend further, blocked by another, more powerful and unfathomable force... Sang Luo also tried using her spatial jump talent, but she couldn't return to the Eastern Continent, let alone leave this world; she couldn't even leave this palace!
From her initial panic, she slowly calmed down. Sang Luo used her mental power to investigate the appearances, clothing, and conversations of the various beastmen within the palace. After half a day, she vaguely guessed her current situation.
She had come to a world outside the Beast World Continent, the Holy Domain, the Holy Temple.
No wonder she couldn't get out.
Sang Luo lay on the bed, curling up, her thoughts slowly drifting away...
"Grumble~"
Her stomach was empty.
She sighed and got out of bed.
The food on the table was already cold, but she wasn't in the mood to pay attention to such trivialities. She ate a little to fill her stomach; the flavor was very light, but it tasted good. There was also a plate of sliced fruit, and her eyes lit up when she took a bite; it was actually a rare Saint-tier spiritual fruit.
Having Saint-tier spiritual fruit for a casual meal, it had to be said that this Holy Temple was quite generous.
Sang Luo, not being pregnant, felt a bit overwhelmed by these highly nourishing foods, but not wanting to waste them, she forced herself to eat them, which was still very good for nourishing her body.
She rubbed her full stomach, burped, and wanted to go out for a walk to digest, and further investigate the situation.
As soon as she opened the door, before her foot could step out.
Two male guards wearing white robes and cloaks blocked her.
"Esteemed female cannot leave here."
Sang Luo clicked her tongue, suppressed her anger, and tugged at the corners of her lips, "I'm just going out for a stroll."
"The order we received is to protect the esteemed female's safety, so please rest well."
Heh, what kind of "protection" was this?
This was imprisonment in disguise!
Sang Luo lowered her eyes, looking particularly pitiful and innocent at the two men, her almond eyes seeming to hold glistening tears, "It's too boring in the palace. Leaving me alone here, I'd rather find a pillar and smash my head against it!"
"Aren't you supposed to protect my safety? Are you going to watch me die of boredom?"
"If I die, you can be considered derelict in your duties!"
Eloquent and persuasive, leaving no room for argument.
"This..." The two guards were speechless, seeing the beautiful female looking at them with such wronged and pitiful eyes, they were both normal males, how could they not soften?
Seeing that one of the guards' attitude was softening, Sang Luo narrowed her eyes and a charming, seductive smile appeared on her lips. She reached out her soft, slender fingers and lightly touched his solid chest, "Anyway, I can't get out, what do you have to worry about, right?"
"Esteemed, esteemed female, please don't do this!" The guard took a step back. Although the brim of his hat obscured his face, one could still faintly see his reddened cheeks, and he lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
After hesitating for two seconds, he said woodenly, "If the esteemed female really wants to go out for a stroll, I can follow you and protect your safety."
Wasn't he just wanting to keep an eye on her at all times, afraid that she would run away?
"That's really great, then you can accompany me." Sang Luo pretended to be very happy.
"It would be an honor."
The guard followed behind her, step by step, not getting too close, always keeping a few meters away to ensure she was under his supervision.
She didn't wander far.
The guard said, "Esteemed female, we should return to the palace."
"Okay." Sang Luo didn't resist at all, and obediently followed him back.
After eating something again, she went to sleep.
The next day, after finishing breakfast, she again proposed to go out for a stroll.
This time, the two guards didn't stop her, and the previous guard still accompanied her.
This time, she wandered for a longer time, and the guard reminded her in a timely manner, "We should return to the palace."
Sang Luo nodded and followed him back again.
Every day after eating, she would go out for a walk to digest.
After a few days, the two guards also got used to her routine, and sometimes without her taking the initiative to speak, the two would actively ask if she wanted to go out.
Sang Luo also behaved very obediently from beginning to end, seemingly having no intention of escaping.
The two gradually felt relieved.
The time they allowed her to wander also became longer and longer.
Once, Sang Luo wandered to a rose garden. A beastman came over and said a few words to the guard, probably something important. The guard hesitated and glanced at her.
Sang Luo sat on a small stone stool under a tree to enjoy the shade and gave him a gentle smile, "Iloti, you can go ahead and take care of your business. I'll sit here for a while and wait for you to come back."
Through these few days of getting along, she had also asked. The more gentle and easily shy guard was called Iloti, and the other, more cold and aloof, was called Habael.
Iloti nodded and left first.
Half an hour later, he rushed back and found that Sang Luo was gone. His heart tightened, thinking that she had secretly run away. He spread a pair of wings behind him and searched in the air, only to find that she had already returned to the palace and even gave him a resentful and charming glance, "Where did you go? I waited for you for a long time. The sunlight outside was too dazzling, so I came back first."
"I apologize, esteemed female." Iloti lowered his head, also relieved.
Sang Luo looked at the pair of pure white wings behind him, "Are you an angel too?"
"This subordinate is a mixed-blood angel, with only 1/4 angel bloodline, and was fortunate enough to obtain the angel inheritance," Iloti honestly replied.
Sang Luo nodded; she had already seen that these two guards who were specially sent to watch her in the Holy Temple were not just small guards, but at least guard captains.
For a female in the early Emperor Realm like her, to keep her in check, at least two males in the early Emperor Realm were needed.
Sang Luo's thoughts turned rapidly, and she was once again dazzled by the pure white wings. She reached out her hand to touch them, "Such beautiful wings, can I touch them?"
Iloti took a step back, "Esteemed female, please have some self-respect."
His head was lowered, and one could imagine that his face was completely red.
Sang Luo didn't succeed this time, but later, whenever she caught a chance, she wanted to touch his angel wings, and also the other guard, Habael, who was also a mixed-blood angel. She didn't let him go either, teasing them from time to time.
She was the female that the Holy Son had specifically named, and if the two of them really let her touch them, it would be the crime of defiling the Holy Female, which they couldn't bear.
Later, as soon as the two saw her, they consciously kept their distance, and sometimes when she forced them too closely, they could be said to flee in disarray.
After that, when Sang Luo wanted to go out for a stroll, the two no longer followed her.
She would also consciously return every day, and the two were completely relieved, no longer restricting her movements.
Sang Luo could be considered to have barely gained a bit of freedom in the Holy Temple.
Every time she went out, she examined the architectural structure of the Holy Palace, searching for an escape route.
"This is tonight's meal, eat it quickly."
Vanessa placed the food on the table.
The food was cold, half as much as the first day, and the holy fruit had also been replaced with ordinary fruit with little spiritual energy.
Sang Luo had always known that Vanessa had been slowly cutting back on the amount of food these days, and the holy fruit had long since entered her stomach.
Sang Luo remained calm and asked after finishing the meal,
"Where is the Holy Son? Seven days have passed, and I haven't seen the Holy Son's person."
