Chapter 304: Enjoying a Taste of Glory Through My Child
Time stood still at that moment.
Except for Sang Luo, everyone else in the room froze in place as she turned her head to look at the man walking in through the door. The light shone upon his tall and slender frame, making him seem like a god descending into the world.
Minos had once again donned that cloak and robe, his eyes covered with white silk, concealing himself thoroughly, to the point where even his face was unclear… Tsk, so aloof, as if wanting to sever ties with the world, afraid of being tainted by something filthy?
Clearly, he himself wasn't some truly righteous and holy person!
"Putting on airs, acting all mysterious and aloof, what an act!" Sang Luo scoffed softly.
Minos didn't care about her words. His gaze, as if tangible, landed on her belly. "The child in your womb is mine."
His tone was assertive, not at all surprised.
Sang Luo figured that since he hadn't lifted the soul imprint between them back then, he probably already knew. He was deliberately using the soul imprint to monitor her! What a kind soul!
She glanced at the sky, then at the ground, before finally shifting her gaze to him, wondering, "Do we know each other?"
"…"
"The one in my belly is my own child. What does my child have to do with you?" Sang Luo casually took out a green fruit from her space. It was just these past two days that her appetite had been growing, and she desperately wanted to replenish herself with natural treasures.
"I can sense the child's aura; it is my own flesh and blood."
"…So what if it is? We broke off our relationship long ago, and the child in my belly won't acknowledge you as its father." She finished the fruit in a few bites with crunching sounds.
She was still very hungry. A Saint-level fruit wasn't filling at all.
Minos didn't speak, but gave her a Qiankun bag. Sang Luo was stunned for a moment, feeling somewhat awkward, but quickly accepted it naturally. The child was nominally unrelated to him, but! It was indeed his flesh and blood!
It was only natural that he wanted to leave behind his bloodline!
Sang Luo opened the Qiankun bag and saw that it was full of natural treasures, all of them God-level fruits. Just smelling the fragrance made her mouth water. She took one and ate it without any hesitation.
God-level fruits truly tasted good and were highly nutritious. Eating one fruit filled her belly quite well.
"This is a month's worth. After you finish it, I will send you more."
"Why don't you just give me all of it at once? Running back and forth, aren't you afraid of the trouble? Hmph, stingy!"
After Sang Luo accepted the fruits, she got up to leave.
"You…" Minos wanted to say something, pursed his lips, and said in a low voice, "The offspring of the Angel race should be raised in the Holy Temple."
"Heh heh, Your Majesty the Holy Monarch, are you subtly begging me to go back?"
"…Yes, I beg you to go back."
"Listening to your dry tone, that's not the attitude of someone begging. I don't like it." Sang Luo waved her hand. "Your Majesty, go busy yourself with your own affairs. Next time, remember to come over to deliver food. I also have other things to attend to, so I won't keep you company."
"Don't go to the Void Demon Realm recently." After a moment of silence, Minos suddenly said this.
Sang Luo paused in her tracks. He had guessed it… Saw it. She was concerned about Quan Jin's side and had been wanting to find an opportunity to go over and take a look, but she wouldn't rashly go. She was still hesitating, but Minos's words meant that he must have seen something in the timeline.
"Understood, thank you for the reminder, Your Majesty." Her tone then shifted, and she looked at Minos with a smile. "However, if I really encounter a fatal danger, Your Majesty certainly won't sit idly by and watch, and will come to save me."
She confidently touched her belly. "I will definitely be fine, right?"
If Minos truly "saw" an irreversible tragedy, he wouldn't be so calm. After all, she was carrying his seed in her belly. Minos might not care about her, but he would definitely care about this child.
The gestation period of this offspring was very long, and she could enjoy a taste of glory through her child.
At least during her pregnancy, her life would definitely be guaranteed.
"Yes."
"Okay, then I can rest assured ~"
Sang Luo brushed past Minos. The man's aura wavered for a moment, the undercurrents hidden beneath the calm surface. The tips of his fingers moved at his side, and his slender palm stretched out from his sleeves, grabbing her hand. "Luo Luo."
Sang Luo pulled her hand back. "Rest assured, I won't do anything to this child. Like you, I hope it can be born safely."
Minos watched her leave, her figure gradually disappearing into the air.
"Luo Luo, is Little Koi here with you?" Lou Xian Yue hurried over as soon as Sang Luo returned to the residence arranged by the city lord.
"No, didn't she sleep in this morning and didn't come out with us?" Sang Luo thought, oh no, and quickly used her offspring summoning.
In the next second, Little Koi appeared in her arms, still holding candy in her mouth, her pair of big blue eyes twinkling as she looked at the two of them. "Daddy, Mommy, I finally see you two! Huh? Where are those uncles?"
Sang Luo quickly took the candy out of her mouth, and only after confirming that it wasn't poisonous did she breathe a sigh of relief. "What uncles?"
It couldn't be that she had run into human traffickers!? Sang Luo's forehead twitched wildly, and she said seriously, "In the future, except for Mommy, Daddy, and a few uncles, don't eat any candy that anyone gives you, and don't go with anyone, understand? Those people are bad people!"
"Uh-huh, got it, Mommy."
Lou Xian Yue also breathed a sigh of relief. They had been busy with things these past few days, and there were bound to be oversights.
"It should be the bandits in the city. There have been several times when I went out and they intercepted me, wanting to snatch talismans. These people saw me carrying Little Koi out before and wanted to kidnap the weakest child as a target."
"Banditry among the displaced people, huh." Sang Luo shook her head and sighed. "The city is no longer safe. It's time to go to the next place."
"Yes, the distribution of supplies in the city is finished, and it's time to set off and leave."
…
Yanglai City, flooded.
Lou Xian Yue went to kill disaster beasts, Si Ye went to quell disasters in front of the people, and Sang Luo took the children to distribute supplies.
These children were usually cared for too well and had never seen any of the sinister aspects of the world. Sang Luo thought about it and decided to let the children out more often, otherwise they would be raised too naively and would suffer a lot in the future.
Xiao Zhixin hugged Little Koi and followed Sang Luo step by step. The two sisters' beauty together was extremely eye-catching wherever they went.
"Little sister is so pretty, so fragrant!" Xiao Zhixin kissed Little Koi's fair face and put her own little hat on her sister's head to shield her from the sun.
"Like Zhixin sister ~"
The relationship between these two sisters was very good.
Sang Luo held Xiao Qi in her arms and noticed that it wasn't in high spirits. She rubbed its little head and asked, "Xiao Qi, why are you so unhappy? Did something happen?"
"Mommy, ever since Little Sister came back last time, she hasn't spoken to me again."
Sang Luo thought for a moment and comforted her, "She must have been frightened and fallen asleep. She might be better in a few days."
"Uh-huh." Xiao Qi nodded. "Mommy, take Little Sister out too. I want to hatch Little Sister out sooner."
Sang Luo chuckled. "You're stealing your father's job."
