Chapter 319 The True Master
Minos pulled out his sword, and blood spurted out, but the wound on Aolia's chest instantly healed.
“I would like to see if regeneration is truly limitless under the shackles of time.”
A dazzling golden light flashed, and no one saw what happened, the two disappeared without a trace.
The air in the hall was deathly silent, so quiet that a pin could be heard dropping. Everyone held their breath, with different thoughts in their minds.
Everyone stared unblinkingly at the place where the two disappeared. Time seemed to freeze at that moment. It seemed like a long time, but in reality, it was only a short moment. A crack appeared in the air.
No one knew what happened in the domain during that instant. A bloody head flew out of the crack.
“Thump!”
It fell to the ground.
A large amount of blood splattered, staining people's robes.
The head's face was pressed against the ground, making it impossible to see its features. The messy golden hair was covered in sticky blood, making it almost impossible to see its original color. Everyone, including the Archbishop, was screaming in their hearts. They trembled violently, but under the great fear, they couldn't utter a single sound.
Until the round head turned a circle on the ground, revealing its twisted and terrifying bloody face, it was vaguely possible to identify its identity…
The crack opened again, and the man's slender and upright figure appeared before everyone. Golden divine wings descended like radiance, retracting the moment he stepped out of the domain. The deep night color in his eyes faded, turning into calm and clear blue pupils.
Everyone uncontrollably knelt on the ground, their foreheads pressed tightly against the ground, prostrating themselves.
In unison, perfectly aligned.
“Welcome, my Lord!”
The true master of the Holy Temple had been revealed, the supreme being who controlled the Sacred Domain!
The headless body was wrapped in white cloth by servants and taken away, thrown into the burial ground of the Sacred Domain. The blood stains on the ground were quickly cleaned up by the attendants.
The Archbishop brought a basin of clean water and a white handkerchief. Minos carefully wiped the blood from his hands, his indifferent and clear blue eyes revealing no emotion. He just wiped it over and over again, tirelessly, until his palms were almost worn out.
Minos waved his hand, and everyone retreated.
In the lonely and empty temple, pale moonlight shone on the young man. Suddenly, he clutched his chest and spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The evil color in the young man's eyes surged, making it difficult to suppress. The scene before him gradually became distorted and blurred, and his ears were filled with the howls of evil spirits. It seemed as if countless black hands were baring their fangs and claws before his eyes, teasing his fragile nerves…
Thinking of what Aolia said before being beheaded, Minos closed his eyes fiercely and then opened them again, turning to go to the forbidden area of the temple.
He set up a barrier outside the forbidden area, preventing others from entering, while also preventing himself from leaving.
Shedding the blood-stained clothes from his body, he stepped into a clear pool with his naked and perfect body. The pure aura in the sacred pool slowly purified the restless power in his body, but it was still far from enough.
Minos forcibly suppressed that force, the meridians of his internal organs, limbs, and bones almost exploding. His body turned red, his veins bulged, his breathing became heavy and disordered, and his face showed an incomparably painful expression.
He thought of Luo Luo and the child… He couldn't meet them in this state… He had to return to the way he was before…
On the other side, Sang Luo was struck by bursts of palpitations.
She quickly found the source of this palpitation.
【Minos, are you okay? Did anything happen?】
Her voice was filled with worry.
After a long time, he slowly replied, with a hint of undisguised weariness and hoarseness, 【Aolia is dead, and there are still some things that need to be taken care of. I will pick you up in a while. Are you having fun there?】
【I'm going to stay in the northern part of the East Continent for a few days. When I go back, I'll bring you some specialties that you've definitely never eaten.】
【Okay, have fun.】He had his usual warm smile, and lowered his head to look at the black, terrifying patterns spreading from his chest.
【Your voice doesn't sound right. Are you really okay? Don't hide it from me! If you hide it from me, I'll be even more worried.】
【…Something did happen. The situation is not very good. I can't see you right now.】
【You need someone to take care of you now. I'm going back to the temple!】
【No need, Luo Luo. I have taken up too much of your time. You haven't returned to the Beast World Continent for a long time. Spend more time with the other beast husbands.】He was extremely generous, his low and pleasant voice containing a hint of teasing smile, 【Don't underestimate a male's self-esteem. I can bear it myself, but if you see it, it will make me even more uncomfortable.】
【…Hmph, useless self-esteem. Then, what can I do now?】
Minos listened to her frustrated voice, and the restlessness gradually subsided. He looked at the air in front of him with a gentle gaze, as if he could see her drooping her head, her eyes faintly containing tears. She was clearly worried, but her mouth was unforgiving.
【If you and the child are safe and well, I will have no worries. If possible, just talk to me. Did you encounter anything interesting along the way? Can you share it with me?】
Sang Luo told him about the interesting things and some unfortunate things along the way.
Minos listened quietly. Her voice was sometimes happy, sometimes annoyed, sometimes relaxed and humorous…
Listening to her vivid description, he could imagine her journey, just like he was by her side, going with her.
The dark color in his eyes slowly faded.
Sang Luo spoke for a long time, yawned, and her voice had a hint of sleepiness.
Minos gently told her to rest first.
At the moment the call ended, Sang Luo said softly, 【Love you, baby daddy. The child and I are thinking of you! So, you must be well!】
Minos's eyes froze for a moment, and the corners of his lips curled up, “…Thank you for your concern, Luo Luo. Can you change the address?”
“Hmm, don’t you like it?” Sang Luo blinked in confusion.
“I like it, but I want to hear something else.”
She had a flash of inspiration, and her voice was sweet and greasy, “Husband, darling, husband, lover, dear partner, which one do you want to hear?”
“I want to hear them all. Call me a different one every day.”
“What about today?”
“Start with the first one.”
Sang Luo heard a faint smile in his calm voice, and her face turned slightly red. She had many beast husbands, and they were already an old married couple, but she seemed to have never called him that kind of…
There was a soft cough from the other side, seemingly suppressing great pain, 【Luo Luo, if there’s nothing else, I’ll go into seclusion first. I don’t know when we’ll meet next…】
Sang Luo called out those two words, a sweet and sticky whisper, very softly.
Minos smiled contentedly.
He wanted to hear her call him that all the time.
In bed, also call him that, with that kind of voice that drives males crazy.
Minos closed his eyes, opened his arms, and let himself slowly sink to the bottom of the lake.
…
“What are you spacing out for?”
Fei Yuan's voice awakened Sang Luo's mind.
Sang Luo watched the continuous mountains gradually covered with ice and snow, and the green-gray mountains and plains gradually turned white, “Are we almost there?”
“Soon, there’s still half a day’s journey. You sleep for a while, and I’ll wake you up when we arrive.”
Fei Yuan wasn’t in a hurry either, flying slowly, admiring the scenery along the way.
Sang Luo lay on his beast body and slowly fell asleep.
Had a dream.
