Chapter 314: The Angel Saint Ancestor Emerges from Seclusion
In the blink of an eye, two or three years had passed.
Sang Luo's belly was also somewhat rounded. In the past, she had been pregnant with beast cubs, but this angel cub was most like a human cub, and her pregnancy symptoms were the most severe.
As time went on, morning sickness would occasionally strike.
She also constantly wanted to go to the toilet, waking up four or five times a night, and her face began to get oily and break out in pimples!
Heaven knows that since Sang Luo's cultivation level had increased, her face had become incredibly delicate and fair, with pores almost invisible. Not to mention how she had captivated the beast husbands, she herself would admire her reflection in the mirror every day. But now, with many small acne appearing on her forehead, it was a tragic sight. She sighed and lamented in front of the mirror every day, not wanting to go out and see anyone.
Especially not wanting to see Minos, the "culprit"!
"Luo Luo."
Minos returned to the palace after finishing his affairs and found her locking herself in the hall, refusing to come out. The attendants said that the Holy Empress had barely eaten a few mouthfuls of food at noon today.
"The evening breeze is very cool. Would you like to go for a walk after dinner? Many flowers in the garden are in bloom."
"No, I'm not in the mood today. I want to be alone for a while..." Her voice was weak and fading.
Minos took the food from the attendant's hand and entered the door. He glanced around and saw that the hall was empty, without even a servant to attend to her. He walked through the living room to the bedroom. White bed curtains hung down, and he could vaguely see a figure inside.
Minos placed the food tray on the table and walked forward to lift the bed curtain.
Sang Luo "whooshed!" and shrank into the blanket.
Minos sighed and pulled her into his arms from the bed, seeing that she was still tightly covering her face. "...Take your hand away."
Sang Luo slowly released her hands, her small face wrinkled in a very resentful expression. This morning, when she woke up, two big red pimples had appeared on the corner of her mouth, looking particularly comical.
"It's all your fault!"
Sang Luo grabbed his hand and bit him hard.
"It's my fault."
Minos's eyes were filled with helplessness and doting. He released a golden light from his fingertips, and the pimples on her face disappeared. Of course, he had tried it before, but they would reappear in a few days.
Pregnancy symptoms were unavoidable, and he couldn't do anything about it.
"It'll be better after you give birth. I don't dislike you anyway."
"Hmph! You dare to dislike me? I'll twist your head off."
Sang Luo bit his strong forearm hard again, leaving two rows of faint red, neat teeth marks.
Minos's golden pupils overflowed with a hint of a smile. Only she dared to talk to him like this. "Okay, twist my head off and use it as a ball to kick."
After Sang Luo vented her anger, she nestled in his arms, her voice lazy. "Why did you come back so late today?"
Minos stroked her frizzy hair. "Today was the day the Saint Ancestor emerged from seclusion. As the Holy Monarch, I had to personally greet him. I was busy all day and only had time to come back at night."
"Saint Ancestor? No wonder I heard so much noise outside when I was sleeping today. You even had to personally greet him. Such a grand occasion?"
"Yes, the Saint Ancestor is the founder of the current Holy Temple, a respected senior of all Holy Monarchs. The etiquette cannot be lacking."
"Then, logically and emotionally, I am your Holy Empress. Shouldn't I also pay my respects to this Saint Ancestor?"
"It depends on your wishes. I won't force you. You are not originally a member of the Holy Temple, and you have nothing to do with them."
Although Sang Luo was nominally his Holy Empress, Minos had no intention of trapping her with this title and making her his subordinate. He also knew that Sang Luo was a free-spirited and easygoing person who didn't care about being a Holy Empress or Queen. If possible, she would rather be the one to become king and marry them into her family.
Hearing him say this, Sang Luo felt relieved. "Then I won't go. I hate superficial flattery the most."
"Okay."
Minos smiled and brought the plate over. "Is your appetite better now? Eat something."
After Sang Luo finished eating, she went out for a walk with him, and then went back to rest at night.
Minos was also very busy these days, leaving early and only returning at night.
One day, after Sang Luo finished breakfast, the attendant brought a glass of wine.
Sang Luo smelled the rich aroma of the wine, which was a rare and good thing.
Minos didn't like her drinking too much, and she hadn't touched a drop during her pregnancy. She put down the glass and asked the attendant, "Did His Majesty send this?"
"No, it was sent by the Saint Ancestor, a special spiritual wine to nourish the body, please drink it, noble female."
Sang Luo said, "I have no connection with the Saint Ancestor. Why would he care about a junior like me so much?"
"The Holy Empress is a honored guest of our Angel race, and the child in her womb is the next generation heir of the Holy Temple. The Saint Ancestor also cares about you very much."
Sang Luo hesitated, picked up the glass, and was about to drink.
A slender and handsome hand took the glass from her hand.
Minos drank the wine in the glass in one gulp, and when he looked at her, his eyebrows showed a faint rebuke. "You are still pregnant, don't drink these things."
"Wine is a good thing, drinking a little warms the body..."
Her voice trailed off as she looked at the door.
A man walked in against the light, tall and dressed in luxurious clothes. He was middle-aged, but his charm still remained. One could see his handsomeness and sharpness when he was young, definitely not an ordinary person.
Sang Luo guessed the identity of the visitor eight or nine times out of ten.
Minos placed his right hand on his chest and respectfully saluted. "Greetings, Saint Ancestor."
Saint Ancestor Olyvia smiled and nodded, looking at Sang Luo. The emotions hidden in his long golden eyes were not pure. "I just emerged from seclusion, and I have been busy with affairs these past few days. I haven't had time to see the Holy Empress. I hope the Holy Empress doesn't mind."
Sang Luo listened to his polite tone, which was a little strange, and also placed her hand on her chest to salute, nodding and smiling. "Saint Ancestor is too polite. I should have gone to see Saint Ancestor, but I am pregnant and my body is not convenient, so I have been delayed. It is good that Saint Ancestor does not blame me."
Olyvia looked at the empty glass on the table. "The fine wine that I specially sent someone to send, doesn't the Holy Empress like to drink it?"
Minos interrupted, "Luo Luo is not suitable for drinking these too stimulating wines during pregnancy. I, as the Holy Monarch, accept this kindness from the Saint Ancestor on behalf of the Holy Empress."
Olyvia smiled kindly, not saying much, but only asked, "The Holy Empress's appearance doesn't seem like a female of my Angel race. May I know where she comes from and what race she is?"
"I come from the border of the West Continent, and my race is..."
Sang Luo looked at Minos.
Minos, "Human race."
Sang Luo's eyes widened all of a sudden. He just said it!
The secret she had hidden for so long... Several attendants in the hall were surprised, but Olyvia's expression was calm, and his tone had a little more fluctuation. "Oh, I didn't expect that. I thought the human race had long disappeared in the river of time. It turns out there are still survivors. I have been in seclusion for too long."
Sang Luo looked at Minos uneasily, and soon received his response.
She already had the ability to protect herself, and there was no need to hide this secret anymore.
The human race is a lost treasure for the gene beastmen, enough to cause turmoil in the world, but for their ancient遗神 King Beast race, the human race is no different from other beast races, just that the long-disappeared human race has reappeared, making people a little surprised.
The Saint Ancestor didn't do anything, seemingly just coming over to see this new Holy Empress. After saying a few words, he left.
Sang Luo keenly noticed his emotions and looked at Minos. "This Saint Ancestor doesn't seem to like me..."
