Chapter 366: You Lied to Me Twice
“Miss?”
Aunt Piggy saw Sang Luo’s face change, the fruit in her hand crushed and juicy, and hesitantly called out.
Sang Luo took a deep breath, her expression calm, "So that's how it is."
“Miss, I’ve told you everything I know, absolutely no hiding anything. Can you let me go now?”
“I’m afraid not. I’ll have to trouble you for a bit longer, Auntie.” Sang Luo smiled shyly, “I’m new here and want to do some more exploring. I need a guide.”
“Miss, rest assured, I know all the fun places in this city and which shops have the best goods!”
The City of Lost Souls was indeed prosperous, the goods displayed in shops and stalls were bizarre and strange, things Sang Luo had rarely seen. Most were fakes and imitations, but you could still find good stuff if you had a good eye and luck.
Legend has it there are peerless, rare books, but who knows if it's true or false.
There was a cultivation codex that could convert demonic energy into spiritual energy, allowing demon cultivators to hide their identities on the Beast World Continent. Sang Luo found it quite interesting, but the price was high, hundreds of high-grade magic crystals for a damaged scroll, not worth it, so she didn’t buy it.
She also looked at other goods.
A thumb ring containing a hidden weapon that could kill a beastman below the Emperor Realm at close range.
A Nine Treasures Exquisite Pagoda with its own space inside, a treasure left by a powerful demon cultivator from ancient times. Maybe there were good things hidden inside, but the price was even more expensive. Sang Luo found it quite interesting, gritted her teeth and bought it. She also browsed other shops, seeing things like Demon Suppression Bells, Soul Devouring Banners… all rare and precious treasures that were hard to find outside.
Lou Xianyue would probably love to browse this place, it could give him a lot of inspiration in the art of refining.
【Mother, I want to come out and play too!】
Little Rose was extremely bored in the dimension.
Little Apple also chimed in, 【Mother, let us out to broaden our horizons. I seem to sense Father’s aura again, right here in this city!】
Sang Luo thought for a moment and released the children.
Both little angels were also disguised, concealing their wings and overly beautiful, eye-catching appearances, with black-gray hair and eyes, looking no different from ordinary demon children.
Aunt Piggy exclaimed, “Miss, you have children! I thought you were so young, I thought you just came of age.”
No one dislikes flattery. Sang Luo smiled, “Haha, you flatter me.”
“Oh my, I’m not exaggerating at all, Miss. Your skin is so supple, it really makes people envious.” Aunt Piggy looked at the children in her arms, then glanced around, lowering her voice, “But a female with two children still needs to be careful. The old, weak, women, and children are the targets that group likes to prey on…”
Sang Luo’s eyes narrowed slightly. From the moment the two children appeared, she felt more gazes on her, most of them extremely unfriendly.
She was confident in protecting her children’s safety, so she wasn’t afraid.
“I understand. Thank you for guiding us, Auntie. This is your reward.”
Aunt Piggy didn’t dare to accept it, and even returned the deposit Sang Luo had given her earlier, “The money you gave earlier is enough, Miss. If you want to stay at Tongbei Inn again, you’re very welcome. I’ll waive a few days of accommodation fees as an apology to you.”
She was indeed discerning. No wonder she could gain a foothold in the City of Lost Souls. Aunt Piggy also saw that she had a high realm and a not small background, wanting to make friends with her. Sang Luo didn’t refuse.
“The inn still has matters to attend to. If you still need someone to accompany you, I can call someone else over.”
“No need, you go back and take care of your own affairs. I’ll take the children to wander around.”
“Alright then, I’ll be going.”
The two children were inherently repulsed by demonic energy. Having stayed in the Holy Palace since they were young, they had seen many good things, and they weren’t interested in the things displayed in the stalls and shops. They mainly came out to find their father.
Sang Luo hadn’t told the children about Minos’s fall into a fallen angel. In fact, she didn’t know how to broach the subject.
She sighed.
The three mothers and children turned into a street that wasn't too lively, with few pedestrians on the road.
Someone was following behind.
Sang Luo wasn’t in a hurry to take action, pretending not to notice anything, still taking the two children to stroll around.
Little Rose and Little Apple had also discovered the few hooligans secretly following behind. Their strength was not bad. The strength of people who could survive in the City of Lost Souls was not low. Even Aunt Piggy, a seemingly ordinary female in the city, would be a King Realm noble female outside. The strength of these few demon beastmen tailing them was all in the early Emperor Realm. It seemed they were experienced in killing people for their wealth.
Seeing that their mother didn’t move, the two children also cleverly didn’t make a sound.
Sang Luo looked up at the dark sky.
She didn’t believe that Minos wouldn’t sense anything when the two children came over.
He must have noticed the three mothers and children long ago.
She wanted to see how long he could hold his breath, avoiding her!
Soon, those few hooligans were quietly taken care of.
A demon beastman wearing armor stepped forward and respectfully saluted, “The city is unsafe. The City Lord invites you and the two young Highnesses to the palace for a meeting. I will personally escort the three of you into the palace.”
Little Rose and Little Apple looked up at Sang Luo, their eyes filled with doubt.
Sang Luo touched the heads of the two little ones, “Let’s go, go find your dad.”
The guard captain revealed a look of surprise. Coming back to his senses, he walked forward more than ten meters, “What are you still stunned for? Aren’t you going to take me to see your City Lord?”
… …
City of Lost Souls.
The money earned in the black market is oily.
The City Lord’s Mansion, the specifications are like a palace, not worse than Quan Jin’s Demon Palace.
Sang Luo was welcomed into an inner hall, and the demon beastman who brought her over saluted and retreated.
“Come out, how long do you want to hide?” Sang Luo looked down at the two children in her arms who were obviously excited.
Little Rose shouted towards behind the screen, “Daddy!”
Little Apple pouted and acted spoiled, “Father, I miss you so much!”
The candlelight was weak, the shadows behind the screen trembled slightly, and then a dry, hoarse voice came,
“Why do you still want to find me?”
Sang Luo, “The children want to see you one last time.”
“…”
“You don’t even dare to come out and see me?”
“I, I hurt you.” He felt guilty and painful.
The longer he stayed by her side, the more dangerous he would be to her.
He had to leave her.
Sang Luo put the children into the dimension and teleported behind the screen.
Minos’s pupils shrank suddenly, extremely at a loss, “Luo Luo!”
His head of light golden hair had almost turned dark gray, and the pure white wings on his back had also turned into black fallen angel wings. He was wearing a strange black robe, and his entire temperament was very different from before.
If it weren’t for Minos’s face not changing much, Sang Luo would have found it difficult to recognize him.
This was only the initial stage of corruption. By the later stage, even his face would be distorted and deteriorated into an ugly fallen angel. Minos would never let her see him in that appearance…
Sang Luo was sad, “I thought you would never lie to me, but you lied to me twice.”
“…”
Once was lying to her that she could still find her soul bone, but his soul bone had long been completely shattered and could never be found.
Second, he was willing to accept her other beast husbands back then, not because her fate line had changed, but because he knew that irreversible changes had occurred in his fate line.
He was not a generous and open-minded person, he just wasn’t qualified to monopolize her anymore.
