Chapter 283: The Pheromone Season
The coronation ceremony of the Holy Ruler was always a grand event throughout the ages.
Everyone emptied their houses, all clans came to offer congratulations, and sacred hymns were sung.
According to traditional rules, the old Holy Ruler Unai River should have personally crowned Minos, but everyone was aware of the old Holy Ruler's physical condition, making him unable to attend.
Minos took Sang Luo's hand and stood with her in the open-air, magnificent auditorium, accepting countless people's lofty praises.
He personally handed the Holy Crown to her.
When the crowd saw that the Holy Empress, who rarely appeared in public and was absent even from their joining ceremony, was also present, they were even more excited and in an uproar.
The rumors of discord between the Holy Ruler and the Holy Empress were dispelled.
This was the perfect scene everyone wanted to see.
Accompanied by countless voices converging into a hymn that seemed to purify the soul, petals fell from the sky. Sang Luo glanced up and saw the nineteen Holy Envoys transformed into angelic forms, hovering in the air with flower baskets, happily scattering petals downwards. The scene was indescribably beautiful and dreamlike, making her unable to help but smile, revealing two shallow dimples at the corners of her lips, exuding a hint of charming sweetness.
"Please, Holy Empress, personally crown me," Minos said, his clear and gentle eyes gazing deeply at her, a smile on his lips.
Everything around them became extremely quiet, and the whole world seemed to be left with only the two of them. Sang Luo gazed at the young and handsome man before her, dressed in a golden, luxurious, trailing coronation robe, with soft, light-golden hair and a breathtakingly perfect face that paled everything else in comparison, making it difficult for mortals to look directly at him.
He seemed to be covered in a faint layer of divine radiance, yet he lowered his proud head to her.
Amidst the sacred hymns, Sang Luo personally crowned him.
Following that, Minos reached out and wrapped his arm around her waist, pulling her into his embrace.
He lowered his head, his thin lips close to her ear, his gentle and slow breath carrying strands of heat that scattered on her neck and earlobe, like teasing feathers, causing a small patch of tingling.
He said in a gentle voice that only she could hear,
"Wait for me tonight."
Some people only needed to speak to make one's legs go weak.
Sang Luo heard her heartbeat quicken, slowly jumping out of her chest. Her cheeks were probably red, but unfortunately, she couldn't see it herself. Just as she reached out to touch her face, Minos stopped her with his slender and beautiful hand.
He lowered his head and kissed her cheek.
His lips were cool, and her face was hot.
His kiss moved down slightly, landing on her lips.
Sang Luo thought he would only give her a light peck, but she didn't expect such a lingering and affectionate deep kiss in such a grand ceremony, in front of all the guests.
Noah, who was flying around scattering petals in the air, almost popped his eyes out when he saw this scene, forgetting to flap his wings. He instantly petrified! Was this still the cold and ruthless Minos he knew?
So he was quite capable after all. What was the point of asking him for advice?
Peng—
Something fell down in a hurry. Sang Luo didn't see it clearly, but she caught a glimpse of a white bird out of the corner of her eye and didn't take it to heart.
There were still some rituals after the coronation ceremony, such as the Archbishop and the Holy Envoys reciting boring and lengthy hymns of praise to the Holy Ruler. Sang Luo wasn't interested and returned to her bedroom absentmindedly, touching her face, still feeling a lingering shyness and warmth.
It wasn't until night fell that Minos returned from outside.
He still hadn't changed out of his coronation robes, showing that he had just finished and was anxious to return.
Before Sang Luo could speak, he reached out and embraced her, kissing her tenderly.
The man's breathing was a little more rapid than during the day, his body temperature was even hotter, and his voice carried a hint of barely concealed hoarseness,
"Luo Luo, you are my Holy Empress..."
He pushed her down on the bed, entangled with her and kissed her for a long time, extremely unrestrained.
Sang Luo realized that Minos's condition was a little off.
She gently pushed his chest, getting a chance to breathe, "You, you wouldn't be..."
Sang Luo had heard Ana Nuo say before that the Holy Son's pheromone season was approaching, but she didn't know the exact day.
It couldn't be, it was tonight!
Minos hummed softly, the corners of his eyes tinged with a light red. Reflected in the candlelight, he lost his usual cold indifference, instead revealing a hint of unique allure...
Sang Luo's eyes widened as she looked, and she couldn't help but swallow.
Minos pinched her chin, his eyes lowered slightly, sweeping over her somewhat tense body, seemingly considering where to start, "Originally, the coronation ceremony was to be postponed for a few more months, but my pheromone season has arrived, so I had to rush to complete the ceremony today."
The neatly arranged coronation robe from the daytime had already become disheveled with his breath.
Sang Luo saw that his face, ears, and even his neck were slowly spreading with a faint, alluring pink.
Sang Luo said softly, "I want to take a bath first."
"Okay."
Minos kissed her lips and then carried her to the bathroom, sitting by the pool.
He slowly took off her dress, his eyes following her movements, unlike his usual clear and gentle gaze, now filled with an extremely strong... desire to possess.
As he reached out to touch the last layer of restraint, Sang Luo suddenly reached out and grabbed his hand, looking at the coronation robes still tightly wrapped around his body, displeased, "You take a bath with me."
Minos's Adam's apple bobbed as he struggled to tear his gaze away from her, nodded, and reached out to take off his own clothes.
Layer upon layer...
The trailing outer robe adorned with jewels and tassels, the fitted coronation robe... the overly heavy and gorgeous coronation robes looked divinely beautiful and noble, but taking them off was really troublesome. Sang Luo couldn't wait any longer and took the initiative to reach out and hook his belt, casually tugging—but she really couldn't pull it off!
She had to lower her head and look closely, slowly and carefully trying to untie his belt, one second, two seconds, three seconds... passed, but the belt was still not untied.
Being stared at for a long time, the warm breath of the female gently scattering and blowing, occasionally touching the friction of his arms and clothes, that place began to change.
Minos could no longer endure, turned over and pressed her down, one hand holding the back of her head, kissing her deeply, the other hand grabbing her small hand, and quickly untied the belt.
Sang Luo was almost unable to breathe.
He picked her up horizontally and stepped into the pool, the swirling mist covering the enchanting scenery.
The two of them were still wearing clothes, their skin touching, and they could feel everything.
Perhaps the water temperature was a bit too high, or perhaps the air in the palace was scorching, Sang Luo's face was flushed red and hot, exuding an alluring shyness. Minos's palm picked up splashes of water and gently stroked her body, washing every inch clean.
Sang Luo bit her lip tightly, slowly becoming unable to bear it, weakly leaning on him, letting him scrub and serve her.
After washing for almost two hours, the two of them finally finished.
Minos used a clean, soft towel to wipe her hair and body clean, carried her back to the palace, and placed her on the bed.
Taking advantage of the last bit of consciousness, Sang Luo asked娇声, "I haven't drunk the Affection Wine yet."
Minos took out the Affection Wine, took a sip, and lowered his head to feed it into her lips.
The whole glass of wine was drunk.
Sang Luo put her arm around the man's shoulders and took the initiative to kiss his lips.
"Come on, I'm ready..."
Finished, I don't know if the next chapter can be released...
