Chapter 316: Can She Still Trust Him? (Bonus Chapter for Donations)
The Holy Ancestor's emotionless voice echoed, "Divine Angels are difficult to conceive, requiring the sacrifice of the mother. On the day of birth, save the child, not the mother."
The Witch Doctor Chief's voice trembled, "It's still like it was back then…"
Everyone in the Holy Temple knew that the Holy Ruler's birth mother had died in childbirth.
Wanting to give birth to a Divine Angel requires sacrificing a mother, which is almost an undeniable fact.
The Archbishop hesitated, "But the Holy Ruler will definitely not agree to do this…"
The Holy Ancestor laughed cruelly, "Do you think the Holy Ruler doesn't know? The Holy Ruler knows very well how his mother beast left. In order to obtain offspring, he has long been prepared to sacrifice this foreign female."
This is Minos's will?!
Listening to these words, Sang Luo could barely breathe, unable to describe how complicated her feelings were.
Minos clearly knew the consequences of conceiving a Divine Angel. She would be completely drained of her last drop of blood by this offspring. That's why her body had been getting worse and worse these days. The abdominal pain was because her body was rejecting the offspring, wanting it to disappear, issuing a final warning to her body.
Minos knew everything from beginning to end, but he kept it from her.
Sang Luo closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and forced herself to calm down. Minos even gave her the soul imprint. If she really died, it wouldn't benefit him… No, she almost forgot that his time power could reverse, and he could completely take back the soul imprint!
No wonder he easily gave her the soul imprint the first time…
Sang Luo was unwilling to doubt Minos, but the suspicion chilled her to the bone. The betrayal of the person closest to you is the most painful.
Her mind was in a daze, wanting to leave the Holy Palace to think it over, but she found that—she couldn't get out!
She was back to those days.
She was imprisoned in the Holy Palace, unable to go out.
The Holy Seal that Minos gave her was失效 (shixiao - ineffective).
Great fatigue and disappointment surged through her body and mind. The abdominal pain became more and more severe. Her body leaned weakly against the corner of the wall, slowly sliding down.
In her hazy consciousness, she heard hurried footsteps, and a man's extremely pained voice, "Luo Luo!"
Minos returned to the bedroom and didn't see her. He found her in the corner of the enclosure. Her whole body was curled up in the corner, her face so pale that it frightened him. He almost rushed forward, hugged her in his arms, and said anxiously, "Luo Luo, why weren't you staying in the palace? What are you doing here?"
Sang Luo looked up at him blankly, not knowing whether she should continue to trust the man in front of her. Her soft fingers grabbed his sleeve, and she whispered, "I wanted to go out for a walk."
Minos disagreed, "I heard from the Witch Doctor that your physical condition is not good. Stay in the palace for this period of time and don't go anywhere."
Sang Luo pursed her lips and asked him a question, "Minos, how did your mother beast die?"
Minos was stunned and whispered, "When she gave birth to me… there was an accident, and she died in childbirth."
Sang Luo smiled miserably, "I never mentioned my beast mother to you. You don't have any sadness or longing for her. To you, your dead mother beast is just a tool to bring you into the world. Her life or death has nothing to do with you, and you don't care at all…"
"Luo Luo?" Minos's superior brows furrowed tightly, "It's not what you think."
Sang Luo lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, her voice weak, "Me and the child in my belly are the same, right? You know very well how dangerous it is for me to give birth to this child, but you never mentioned a word to me."
Minos hugged her tightly, his arms trembling slightly, "Luo Luo, I won't let anything happen to you."
His anxiety didn't seem fake.
Sang Luo decided to trust him one more time.
"The Witch Doctor said that I might miscarry this time."
"No, the child's development is all normal."
"What about me? Giving birth to a Divine Angel requires sacrificing a mother."
"Nothing will happen to you either. You and the child will be safe. It is true that the huge power consumed in conceiving a Divine Angel has a probability of backfiring on the mother, but if that day really comes, even if I sacrifice myself, I will never let anything happen to you."
Sang Luo pursed her lips, "But I heard those people in the Holy Temple say…"
She told him what she had heard, especially the words of the Holy Ancestor, and the Gu poison in the medicine.
Minos's face became even colder, flashing with bone-chilling coldness.
"If he wants to attack you, he has to ask me if I agree!" Minos's voice lost its usual refined and gentle tone, appearing particularly gloomy and low.
Sang Luo had never seen Minos like this before and was stunned for a moment.
His chest heaved violently. Seeming afraid of scaring her, he quickly hid the killing intent in his eyes. His forehead touched her forehead, their breaths intertwined, and his voice was incomparably gentle, "Luo Luo, no matter what, I am your partner. The person you should trust the most is me. You can entrust yourself and the child to me with confidence."
"…I'm sorry, but I'm very scared."
"It's because I failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a beast husband, making you feel scared by my side." Minos lowered his head and kissed the tip of her nose, his voice hoarse, "Leave the Holy Temple for now. I have some things to resolve."
"I can't get out. The Holy Seal you gave me can't be used."
Minos's face looked even worse.
He respected him as the founder of the current Holy Temple, giving him some face and respect.
Did he really think the Holy Temple was still in his palm!
"I will personally send you away."
…
Minos indeed didn't lie to Sang Luo. He personally sent her away from the Holy Temple and back to the Eastern Continent. Before leaving, he also gave her many natural treasures. Sang Luo roughly looked at them and thought they were enough for her to eat for a year and a half without any problems.
The trace of suspicion in Sang Luo's heart towards him finally dissipated.
She didn't misjudge him.
"You… be careful when you go back. The Holy Ancestor doesn't just want to target me. Maybe the real target is you!" Sang Luo grabbed his sleeve and kissed his face.
Minos's mood improved slightly, and he hugged her and kissed her deeply.
After Sang Luo watched him leave, she returned to Phoenix Palace.
Little Zhenzhen had been fostered in the palace these past few days. It had just returned to the palace after playing outside and almost shouted when it saw its mother had also returned, "Mom…"
"Shh." Sang Luo put a finger to her lips and winked at it.
Little Zhenzhen immediately shut up and tiptoed into the palace.
Fei Yuan was dozing on the desk, with a thick stack of documents scattered beside his hand. The two fluffy little balls of fur were also sleeping with their heads close together.
Sang Luo walked forward, picked up the coat from the back of the chair, gently draped it over Fei Yuan, and kissed his hair.
Fei Yuan had never mentioned it to her, but Sang Luo also knew that as a Beast Emperor in charge of the Central Region, he was busy enough, and he also had to personally take care of the two beast cubs in every detail, so he was very tired on weekdays.
The dignified Beast Emperor fell asleep with his head buried on the table, sleeping quite soundly.
After Sang Luo finished all this, she turned around and walked towards the door of the palace, bent down, hugged Little Zhenzhen, walked out the door, and rubbed her little head, "Where's your dad?"
"Dad is practicing in the martial arts field!"
"No wonder he left you to be taken care of by Uncle Grandpa. Let's go, let's go to the martial arts field too, to see your dad."
