Chapter 325: Can the Contract Be Renewed?
Sang Luo slept soundly, undisturbed by the cries of the two children, waking up naturally in the evening, feeling refreshed and comfortable.
She reached out to feel beside her, but there was no one there, and the bedding was cold—
Minos had slipped away after she fell asleep.
Sang Luo got up and glanced out of the bed curtains. Minos was patiently coaxing the two children to sleep in his arms. He had changed into a loose white robe, his chest slightly open, and the sunlight from the window cast a hazy halo around him, making the scene look like a beautiful painting…
Sang Luo blinked, almost unable to look away.
After Minos finished feeding the two children and coaxing them to sleep, he saw that she was awake, gently placed the children back in the crib, and walked over softly, "Luo Luo."
"I didn't expect your first time as a wet nurse to be so professional ~" Sang Luo teased.
"I studied in advance." Minos smiled gently, "Are you hungry? I'll have them prepare some food."
"Yes, I'm really hungry this time." Sang Luo touched her flat stomach, which was making gurgling sounds. She had woken up from hunger.
After dinner.
Minos looked at her, hesitant to speak.
"What do you want to say?" Sang Luo wiped her mouth.
"Luo Luo, the contract… can it be renewed?" Minos hesitated before asking.
The Oath of Heaven and Earth had long been revoked, but this pregnancy was conceived during the contract period. According to the terms of their contract, once the transaction was completed, they would part ways and go their separate ways.
Now that the children were born…
Sang Luo asked back, "Do you want to separate?"
"I don't want to." Minos looked at her affectionately.
"Then let's make a new contract. The term of the contract is…"
"A lifetime!" He replied preemptively.
Sang Luo's eyes curved into a smile, "Okay."
Then, remembering something, she asked, "What if you regret it in the future and want to take it back?"
"I swear by my divine blood, even if the rivers flow backward and the world turns upside down, the oath will not change."
"Cough! I'm just kidding."
"But I mean it." Minos took her hand and placed it on his heart, his tone solemn and deep, "Minos Iyar Limitless swears by his divine blood to love you, protect you, and never hurt you, or else I will…"
Sang Luo quickly covered his mouth, shaking her head desperately, "No need, I'm really just kidding! I believe in your loyalty to me!"
Minos smiled gently, saying nothing.
A burst of crimson golden light entered her heart, and the contract was completed.
Forget it, she was still very touched that he had this intention.
"In a few days, I'm going back to Phoenix Palace for the New Year."
"New Year?"
"Yes, it's when the family gets together, eats good food, and has fun. When the time comes, you can bring the children over too. The other beastmen haven't seen these two children yet, so it's a good opportunity for them to meet everyone!"
"Okay." Minos readily agreed.
Half a month later.
The two of them took the children back to Phoenix Palace.
Fei Yuan came early to greet them, showing meticulous care and concern, "Little Luo'er, did you miss me?"
"I didn't miss you! Where are the children?" Sang Luo gave him a small kiss on the face.
Fei Yuan's phoenix eyes curved up as he brought out the two little phoenix cubs.
Sang Luo teased the two little phoenixes. They didn't seem to have grown much, and their fluff was very fluffy and soft, making them feel great to the touch.
"Mother, are these my younger brothers and sisters! They also have wings, so many wings!"
Minos reached out and took the "jumping" Little Lucky Star. Little Lucky Star lay on the Little Angel, pecking at the wings on her back, wanting to see if they were real.
The beastmen all brought their children over.
Lou Xian Yue and the others were also seeing Minos and the two angel children for the first time, and were a little surprised, but quickly accepted it. It was just a matter of adding a chair and a pair of bowls and chopsticks.
They all prepared gifts for the two little angels.
Minos was also not stingy, and prepared generous meeting gifts for the other children as well.
He knew these children, but seeing the children from Sang Luo's perspective, and actually seeing and touching the children, felt completely different.
Minos wasn't too enthusiastic about offspring and children, but when he thought that these children were born to Sang Luo, and looked at their eyebrows and eyes that resembled her, he was willing to give them the greatest patience and gentleness.
Sang Luo also looked at Minos, who was distributing gifts to the children. He was indeed different from when they first met. She was a little worried that he would be unwilling to condescend and descend to the lower realm, but she didn't expect him to agree so readily, and he had prepared gifts for each child in advance, each one different and all their favorites, showing a lot of thought.
Minos was also very polite to the other beastmen. Although he couldn't be considered very warm, he gave them the respect they deserved, and there was no problem with normal interaction.
Si Ye and Lou Xian Yue went out to paste couplets and hang lanterns, etc. Fei Yuan used to lie down and enjoy himself, but this time he also went to the kitchen.
"I thought you would feel a little uncomfortable in your heart." Fei Yuan looked at Lan Cang, who was picking vegetables.
Lan Cang smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, Phoenix Emperor. I have long thought it through. I am lucky enough to have come this far. Sometimes, if you expect too much, you will have a lot of unnecessary worries."
"What you said makes sense. Sometimes… I also think too much."
"For me, living in the present and taking care of the important people is enough for this life." Lan Cang looked at Fei Yuan, "Each of us has a place in her heart, perhaps not the most important, but definitely the most unique, and no one can replace it."
Fei Yuan nodded, feeling a little lost, but laughed, "She is amorous, but also affectionate, which really makes people love and hate her, unable to stop."
"If she weren't amorous, I'm afraid you and I wouldn't be able to leave this small place in her heart."
"Heh, that's true." Fei Yuan's gaze towards Lan Cang showed a bit more admiration, "Among her beastmen, my change in opinion towards you is the greatest. The first time I saw you, I was polite to you, but in fact, I looked down on you a bit in my heart."
"I know." Lan Cang was self-aware. In the heart of a born king beast, gene beastmen were always inferior beings. He had also been saddened and grieved by this matter, but now he has slowly come to terms with it, "The Phoenix Emperor personally picking me up to take care of Luo Luo in the palace also shows a lot of changes."
"Yes, I respect your character and temperament very much. Many descendants of born king beasts are not as good as you."
"Thank you for your praise, Phoenix Emperor."
Fei Yuan smiled, "They are all Luo'er's beastmen, just call me Fei Yuan in the future."
Lan Cang was also straightforward, "Brother Fei Yuan."
"It's too hard for you alone, I'll call a few servants over to help."
"Haha, no need, I want Luo Luo to eat the dishes I made with my own hands. Brother Fei Yuan doesn't know, the feeling of watching her happily finish the dishes I made is unspeakably satisfying and pleasant."
"Oh? Is that so, then I'll try it too." Fei Yuan stared at the stove, distinguishing which was salt and which was sugar.
"It seems that the Holy Monarch of the Angel Clan has made Brother Fei Yuan feel a sense of crisis." Lan Cang bluntly revealed the secret.
"…" There was no need to say it.
There will be another update tonight~
