Chapter 316 Can She Still Trust Him? (Rewards and More)
The Saint Ancestor's emotionless voice came, "It is difficult for God's angel to conceive, and the mother must be sacrificed. When the day comes, the baby will be saved, not the adult."
The witch doctor said anxiously, "It's still the same as before..."
Everyone in the temple knew that the Holy King's biological mother died during childbirth.
It is almost an indisputable fact that if one wants to give birth to a divine angel, one must sacrifice a mother.
The archbishop hesitated, "But the Holy Lord will definitely not agree to do this..."
The Holy Ancestor laughed cruelly, "Do you think the Holy Lord doesn't know? The Holy Lord knows very well how his female beast left. In order to have an heir, he has already prepared to sacrifice this foreign female."
Is this the will of Minos? !
Sang Luo could hardly breathe after listening to these words, and could not describe how complicated his feelings were.
Minos knew clearly the consequences of conceiving an angel. This offspring would completely drain her of her last drop of blood. That was why her health had been getting worse over the past few days. The abdominal pain was because her body was rejecting this offspring and wanted it to disappear. It was her body's final notice.
Minos knew everything from beginning to end, but he kept it hidden from her.
Sang Luo closed his eyes and took a deep breath, forcing himself to calm down. Minos even gave her the soul mark. If she really died, it would be of no good to him... No, he almost forgot that his power of time can be reversed and he can completely take back the soul mark!
No wonder he easily gave her the soul mark the first time...
Sang Luo didn't want to doubt Minos, but suspicion chilled her to the bone, and the betrayal of the man beside her was the most painful.
She was in a daze and wanted to leave the Holy Palace to think carefully, but she found that she couldn't get out!
Back to the past.
She was imprisoned in the Holy Palace and could not go out.
The holy seal that Minos gave her was ineffective.
Tremendous fatigue and disappointment surged over her body and mind. The pain in her abdomen became more and more severe. She leaned weakly against the corner of the wall and slowly slid down.
While she was drowsy, she heard hurried footsteps and a man's heartbroken voice, "Luoluo!"
Minos did not see her when he returned to the palace, but found her in the corner of the wall. She was curled up in the corner, her face was so pale that he was scared. He almost rushed forward and hugged her in his arms, saying urgently, "Luoluo, why are you not 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. She grasped his sleeves with her soft fingers and whispered, "I want to go out for a walk."
Minos disagreed. "I heard from the witch doctor that your health is not good. Stay in the palace for the time being and don't leave."
Sang Luo pursed his lips and asked him, "Minos, how did your mother die?"
Minos was stunned and whispered, "When I was born... there was an accident and she died during childbirth."
Sang Luo smiled sadly, "I have never mentioned your beast mother to you, and you have no sadness or longing for her. Your dead mother beast is just a tool for you to be born into the world. Whether she is dead or alive has nothing to do with you, and you don't care at all..."
"Luoluo?" Minos frowned, "It's not what you think."
Sang Luo lowered her head, avoiding his gaze, and said weakly, "It's the same with me and the baby in my belly, right? You know exactly how dangerous it is for me to have this baby, but you never mentioned it to me."
Minos hugged her tightly, his arms trembling slightly, "Luoluo, I won't let anything happen to you."
His anxiety didn't seem fake.
Sang Luo decided to trust him again.
"The witch doctor said that I might miscarry this baby."
"No, the child's development is normal."
"What about me? Giving birth to a divine angel requires sacrificing a mother body."
"You will be fine. You and the child will be safe. The energy consumed in nurturing a divine angel is enormous and there is a chance that it will backfire on the mother. But if that day really comes, I will sacrifice myself to ensure that nothing happens to you."
Sang Luo pursed her lips, "But I heard those people in the temple say..." She told him what she had heard, especially what the Holy Ancestor said and the poison in the medicine.
Minos's face became even colder, flashing with a bone-chilling chill.
"If he wants to attack you, he has to ask for my consent first!" Minos' voice lost its usual elegance and calmness, and sounded particularly gloomy and low.
Sang Luo had never seen Minos like this before and was stunned for a moment.
His chest rose and fell violently, as if he was afraid of scaring her, and he quickly concealed the murderous intent in his eyes. His forehead was pressed against hers, and their breaths intertwined. His voice was extremely gentle, "Luoluo, no matter what time, I am your partner. I am the one you should trust the most. You can rest assured to leave you and the child to me."
"…I'm sorry, but I'm scared."
"It's my fault that I failed to fulfill my responsibility as a beast husband, and made you feel scared staying by my side." Minos lowered his head and kissed her nose. His voice was hoarse, "You need to leave the temple for the time being. I have some things to deal with."
"I can't get out. The seal you gave me can't be used anymore."
Minos's face became even uglier.
He respected him as the founder of the present temple and gave him some face and respect.
He really thought that the temple was still in his hands!
"I'll see you off personally."
……
Minos really did not lie to Sang Luo. He personally sent her out of the temple and back to the East Continent. Before leaving, he also gave her a lot of rare treasures. Sang Luo took a rough look and thought that they were enough for her to eat for a year or two.
The slight doubt that Sang Luo had towards him finally disappeared.
She was not mistaken.
"You... go back and be careful. The Holy Ancestor is not targeting just me. Maybe the real target is you!" Sang Luo pulled his sleeve and kissed him on the face.
Minos felt a little relieved and hugged her and kissed her deeply.
After Sang Luo watched him leave, he returned to Fenghuang Palace.
Little Zhenzhen had been fostered in the palace these days. She had just returned from playing outside and was tired. When she saw her mother had also returned, she almost shouted, "Mom..."
"Shh." Sang Luo put a finger to his lips and blinked at it.
Xiao Zhenzhen immediately shut up and tiptoed into the hall.
Fei Yuan was taking a nap on the desk, with a thick stack of documents scattered beside him. Two furry little balls were sleeping with their heads close together.
Sang Luo walked forward, picked up the coat on the back of the chair and gently put it on Fei Yuan, then kissed his hair.
Fei Yuan had never mentioned it to her, but Sang Luo also knew that he was busy enough as the Beast King in charge of the central region, and he also had to take care of the two cubs personally, and he was very tired on weekdays.
The mighty Beast King lay down on the table and fell asleep with his head down, sleeping very soundly.
After Sang Luo finished all this, he turned and walked towards the palace gate, bent down to hug Xiao Zhenzhen, walked out of the door and rubbed her little head, "Where is your father?"
"Dad is training in the martial arts arena!"
"No wonder he left you to be taken care of by your uncle. Come on, let's go to the martial arts arena and see your father."
