Chapter 395: The Appointment
Minos also fell into deep thought. He suddenly remembered something, and a determined look flashed in his clear blue eyes. "Luo Luo, do you remember when you asked me to investigate the Witch Lotus Domain? I later searched through the ancient books in various藏书阁 and found some clues."
Sang Luo gripped the edge of her cup, signaling him to continue.
Minos said, "You can't find the Witch Lotus Domain on the Beast World Continent map because it's not actually on the Beast World Continent. It's a place name in the Celestial Realm."
Did the two of them go to find the Divine Lotus Fruit?
Sang Luo's emotions were indescribably complex.
She touched her belly.
... I wonder if Yan wants this child.
Male beasts are naturally fond of offspring, but they prefer to conceive the most precious offspring with their beloved partners.
Even if Duo Tu had married that princess back then, given his attitude, he probably wouldn't have allowed the princess to conceive his child. Even if the princess had used tricks to get pregnant and give birth, he probably wouldn't have showered the child with fatherly love. His decision to make Hephaestus his sole heir was enough to show his intentions.
Yan probably has the same attitude towards this child...
"Luo Luo, don't think about so many worries. What you need to do now is to take good care of yourself and ensure the safety of both mother and child. Leave the other things to me," Minos comforted her gently.
Sang Luo calmed down, "Okay!"
"Reporting, Holy Monarch, Holy Empress, Kliche Berg is here." A servant came to report.
Kliche Berg is the most senior Angel Clan witch doctor in the Holy Temple. Over the years, Sang Luo has been taken care of by this old witch doctor and his disciples, whether she was sick or pregnant. They took very good care of her, so Minos simply appointed him as Sang Luo's personal physician.
Kliche Berg was very familiar with Sang Luo's health indicators during pregnancy and quickly noticed something was wrong. His white, long-bearded eyebrows, which were about to droop at the corners of his eyes, furrowed.
Minos asked anxiously, "Is there something wrong with Luo Luo's health?"
Kliche Berg bowed respectfully and replied, "Holy Empress's body is healthy, but the fetus is somewhat unstable, with the possibility of miscarriage."
Minos's heart leaped into his throat!
"Prescribe some medicine to protect the pregnancy, the best!"
Kliche Berg shook his head, "The miscarriage is not due to the Holy Empress's body, nor is it due to other causes. In this old servant's opinion, it seems to be because... the fetus is not getting enough nutrients to sustain its growth and development."
Minos nodded thoughtfully to the witch doctor.
"Okay, I understand. You may leave now. You can prepare some potions to promote the fetus's absorption."
After the doctor left, he took out all the Divine Fruits he had, "It seems that the offspring of an Ancient Divine Beast requires more energy than the two little angels. I don't know if this will be enough."
Since Sang Luo became pregnant with this child, she couldn't even eat spirit fruits, only Divine Fruits.
She was originally eating the same amount as when she was pregnant with the two little angels, but she didn't expect to become malnourished!
It seems that this pregnancy will be the most difficult one so far!
"I can't find that fox, so I can only scrounge some food from you," Sang Luo said embarrassedly.
"My people and children are yours, and the clan's property is all prepared for you. Why are you being so polite with me, Luo Luo?" Minos's blue eyes were filled with a gentle smile that stirred the heart.
Sang Luo's heart trembled, and she leaned forward and kissed the corner of his lips, "I won't eat your food for nothing. If I have the chance in the future, I'll give you another little angel ~"
Minos's breathing suddenly deepened. He lowered his head to look at her belly, his eyes regained clarity, and he hugged her in his arms, lightly rubbing his chin against her temple and laughing helplessly, "Luo Luo is so bad. How many male beasts have you said this to?"
"Uh..." She seemed to have said it to Si Ye too. The second child was still nowhere in sight. The essence of people is to draw cakes. "I'm telling the truth, hmph ~ believe it or not!"
"I believe it!" Minos said quickly.
"How long is the gestation period for an Ancient Divine Beast?"
"I once read in a book that it's thousands of years."
Sang Luo's heart trembled. She thought she had misheard. She pushed Minos away, raised her head to look at his beautiful blue eyes, and said in a horrified tone, "You're not lying to me, are you?"
"It's true. It normally takes hundreds of years for the offspring of a Remnant Divine Beast to gestate. Luo Luo has a special physique, and even with the energy supply and opportunities from various natural treasures, it took several years to gestate the Divine Phoenix offspring and the two little angels."
When Sang Luo was pregnant with the two little phoenixes, she devoured the Divine Poison Pearl, a spiritual object of heaven and earth. When she was pregnant with the two little angels, she devoured the power of the Holy Ancestor, which allowed the two little angels to be born early. Otherwise, according to the normal gestation period, these two pregnancies would have taken at least ten years.
"My pregnancy with the Zerg was not long. It only took a year at most."
"Those four Zerg offspring..." Minos had seen them once. Their talents were also extremely high. Like the two little angels, they were at the peak of the Emperor Realm at birth.
"Only pregnant for a year?" He was surprised.
"Yes. The only difference between being pregnant with the Beast Clan offspring is that I ate a kind of energy crystal left behind by the destruction of a planet."
"I see. The energy contained in the energy crystal is extremely rich. Even an energy crystal left behind by a small world is worth hundreds of Divine Fruits... If there are enough energy crystals, there will be no need to worry about the energy needed for this Divine Beast offspring."
"Is this enough?" Sang Luo took out hundreds of energy crystals from the space.
Minos was greatly shocked. He picked up a few energy crystals and looked at them, his heart becoming more and more shocked.
The quality of these energy crystals was very good, and the energy contained in them made his heart tremble. "It should be enough."
"Good! As long as it's enough for me to raise the child. It wasn't for nothing that I went to the Star Swirl Zerg Nest."
"But I'm afraid there will be other accidents. We still need to let the father beast of this child know about this as soon as possible."
Sang Luo was silent for a long time before saying, "...I can't find him again."
"What about after that God returns?"
"Anyway, there are so many energy crystals, enough for me to raise the child. I don't need him to provide food anymore."
Minos looked at her, pursed his lips and said nothing, and then remembered the scene he saw in time.
That Nine-Tailed Fox God said, "It's not needed anymore. She won't forgive me. I hurt her heart..."
Sang Luo originally planned to wait until the child was born before giving the child to Yan, so that the grievances between the two would be cleared up and no one would owe anyone anything.
She didn't expect Yan to come back in a few days.
He didn't come to Sang Luo in person, but sent her a letter.
[Tomorrow night, Qingqiu, see you at the God Monarch's Mansion.]
Sang Luo took the letter and stood in front of the window for a long time before turning around and putting the envelope into the candlelight to burn it.
Tomorrow night.
Keep the appointment on time.
Tonight, the moonlight is faint, and the clouds cover the galaxy. A hazy white mist rises in the mountains and forests of Qingqiu.
Sang Luo came to the gate of the God Monarch's Mansion and saw that slender and handsome figure in the distance again.
He was wearing a white robe, his snow-white hair falling casually, like a banished immortal falling into the mortal world. He looked even more hazy and indistinguishable in the clouds and mist.
It had been several years since they last met.
Her emotions still couldn't help but ripple.
She steadied her mind and called out softly,
"Yan."
