Fiyuan arrived as promised, casually found a seat, tasted a bite of the banquet dishes, and said, "Hmm, the taste is good. She's asleep."
Minos's cold brow softened a little, "Your Majesty, the Phoenix Emperor, is visiting the Holy Palace for the first time, I believe. Please forgive us if the hospitality is lacking."
"Uh ~ It's a little dry."
"Someone, bring tea for the Phoenix Emperor."
A servant respectfully stepped forward and poured a cup of tea, "Please enjoy, Your Majesty."
Fiyuan took a sip and praised, "The Sacred Domain is blessed with spiritual energy, and the tea is also a rare good tea, but, alas… …"
Minos asked, "Oh, what a pity?"
"It's a pity that the people aren't good. Such a blessed land has bred a bunch of human traffickers who abduct other people's partners to have children."
The moment Fiyuan finished speaking, the air in the hall plummeted, as silent as death. The servants attending him knelt down in fear, not daring to breathe loudly, lest they be implicated.
Minos placed his cup back on the table and glanced coldly at Fiyuan.
Fiyuan twirled the teacup in his hand, with a half-smile, "The Holy Lord wouldn't put poison in the tea, would he?"
"You have one life left," Minos said slowly.
"Accurately speaking, there are two lives left, one Nirvana life, and one original life. Does the Holy Lord want to take them?"
Minos snorted coldly. The instant he raised his hand, a powerful and terrifying golden energy rippled out like a tangible substance. The domain instantly opened, encompassing the two of them, and all things fell silent.
Fiyuan narrowed his phoenix eyes, rarely serious.
The Time Domain, a tangible yet seemingly intangible prison, separated two worlds. The servants outside were frozen in place, even the sound of the wind stagnated in the air, as if time had stopped flowing. In reality, it was not that the outside world's time had stopped, but that he was trapped in a static time rift.
Within the domain, everything was controlled by Minos, and no one could escape the control of time.
In a short moment, everything returned to normal, and fallen leaves slowly drifted into the window.
A warning.
Minos looked down at the rippling tea in his hand, his voice like the clear spring water melting from a snow mountain, clear and cold, "If I want to take your life, it's easy. Taking two lives from you is not difficult either."
"The rules of time, ah, are indeed powerful. The Archangel is truly well-deserved, inspiring people to seek guidance," Fiyuan drained the tea in one gulp. The smile on his face disappeared, "Then the Holy Lord must also know that I gave Little Luo'er two lives. She may not have much love for me, but the life-and-death friendship we've shared means I have a place in her heart, an important position that others cannot replace. If I die, Little Luo'er will be very sad."
"… …"
"So, even if the Holy Lord wants to take my life, he wouldn't be foolish enough to choose this critical moment, to commit murder under her nose."
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to say—" Fiyuan changed the subject, "—the beds in the Holy Palace are too soft. This Emperor likes them very much."
"Boom!"
… …
Sang Luo was sleeping soundly when she was awakened by the earth-shattering noise outside. She looked in shock at the swaying tables, chairs, and walls, almost thinking it was an earthquake. Just as she was about to roll up her bedding and run away, she caught sight of the night sky outside illuminated by fire, as bright as day.
The palace servants had all rushed to put out the fire.
After sensing the situation of the two soul imprints, she silently rolled the bedding back onto the bed and continued to sleep peacefully.
As long as no one dies, it's fine.
The next day, when she woke up in the morning, the turmoil had stopped. The outside looked no different from usual, and she almost thought she had a dream last night.
Fiyuan had also left the Sacred Domain. Fortunately, he didn't lose his life, and he could continue to be unrestrained.
After Sang Luo ate some food, she got up and went to the Holy Palace to find Minos to discuss her departure.
The atmosphere in the Holy Palace was solemn. Even the Archbishop dared not say a word. Anyone could tell that His Highness the Holy Lord had a terrible complexion. He hadn't slept all night and had fought with the Phoenix Emperor until the sky was dark and the earth was dim. Many buildings in the Holy Palace had been burned down and were only reshaped by time this morning.
Although the Fire Phoenix had escaped wounded, Minos's mood was extremely bad.
The thing he was most worried about was still coming.
He leaned back in his seat and closed his eyes tightly.
He had thought he could accept the other beast husbands around Sang Luo, but when he really saw her interacting with Fiyuan, the jealousy in his heart burned, raged, and went crazy.
He couldn't tolerate anyone else being by her side.
He couldn't tolerate her leaving even more.
From yesterday onwards, Minos seemed to have become a different person, his state of mind extremely violent and homicidal. He even vaguely felt that he was like a sinful Fallen Angel.
The Holy Palace naturally could not tolerate such a thing happening.
The Archbishop secretly made a suggestion.
—Eliminate those beast husbands.
In this way, the Holy Empress's mind would not be distracted, and she would stay safely in the Holy Palace. Even if she left the Holy Palace, there would be no need to worry about her conceiving the offspring of other beast husbands. She would wholeheartedly conceive Angelic offspring for the Holy Lord.
Minos admitted that at this moment, he had such a despicable thought.
The more he loved her, the more he wanted to possess her forever, unable to share her with others.
He was confident that he could eliminate those beast husbands, and he was also confident that he could make sure she would never know about it, and would never suspect him… …
Only… …
"If Your Majesty is unwilling to act personally, this matter can be left to the Holy Palace," the Archbishop said meaningfully, "There are too many ways to die in this world."
"… …"
Minos paused and looked towards the door.
"What's that noise?" A Holy Envoy opened the door to take a look, but there was no one there. He muttered in a low voice, "Perhaps a bird crashed into the door and flew away."
Minos's blue eyes were dark and obscure. He didn't say anything more, and rubbed his brows wearily, "This matter will be discussed later."
At night, he returned to his bedroom.
Sang Luo gave Minos a big hug.
"How's the official business going? Are you tired? I'll make you a cup of tea."
"No need, you should rest well." Minos looked at her face, somewhat uneasy, "Last night, I exchanged blows with Fiyuan, you… …aren't you going to ask?"
"Fighting, ah, is normal. You're not the first one to fight with him. As long as no one dies, it's fine. He shouldn't be injured, right?"
"He suffered some minor injuries."
"Oh, it's okay, he's thick-skinned and fleshy. He'll be able to make a fuss again in a couple of days."
Sang Luo poured a cup of tea for Minos and smiled, "I just brewed a new flower tea, try how it tastes."
Minos took it from her hand and drank the tea in one gulp, "It's very delicious. It's getting late, let's rest."
"Okay."
Minos picked her up and went to the bed.
Late at night, after Minos fell asleep, Sang Luo next to him slowly opened her eyes.
She looked at his handsome and peerless face, her eyes complex and mixed with a trace of resolute coldness.
She knew that since the church was destroyed, that Sacred Seal had been carried on Minos's person.
Sang Luo gently touched the man's clothes beside the bed, searched for the Sacred Seal, put on her coat, and left the bedroom.
She knew everything.
Minos wouldn't let her leave.
He even tried to hurt her beast husbands!
She would leave here tonight!
At the moment Sang Luo was about to run out of the palace gate, Minos's figure suddenly appeared, blocking her path.
I have something to do today, no more updates, babies sleep early!
