Chapter 122: Honey, you mean...
Chapter 122: Honey, you mean...
With Zephyra guarding the place, no one dares to defy the Undead Sanctuary anymore.
Amidst the intermittent crying of Faelan's disciples, Timothy was sitting on Azura's dragon back, ready to return to Sky Sanctuary. Suddenly, Holy Maiden Aeliana moved closer and sat right behind him.
"Holy Maiden, are you...?"
Timothy stepped back.
"Didn't Sylvia say she wanted you to go with me? I don't have a mount, do you really want to see me fly there all alone?"
Holy Maiden Aeliana leaned against Timothy's back, batting her eyelashes and putting on a pitiful look.
"Are you sure Sylvia won't chop you into pieces when she sees us sitting like this?"
"Cough, well..."
Holy Maiden Aeliana showed a hint of fear, but quickly flashed a coquettish smile: "It's okay, if I can die with you, like a pair of lovebirds, I wouldn't regret it."
"Holy crap, the Holy Maiden... the Holy Maiden is actually sitting with Brother Timothy!"
"Why are they so close together?
Didn't someone just say that in the forbidden land, the Holy Maiden was just testing Timothy? Could it be that the two of them..."
"What the heck is going on!"
Meanwhile, people had started to witness this intimate scene.
If this continued, it wouldn't be long before rumors started flying everywhere.
Timothy, with a heavy heart, signaled Azura to take off at full speed.
With a majestic dragon roar, Azura soared into the sky.
People looked up to see the majestic blue dragon, with Timothy commanding it.
Behind him, Holy Maiden Aeliana's golden hair fluttered in the wind, leaning gently against him with a sweet smile, seemingly enjoying the ride.
Although only a few dozen disciples around Faelan actually saw this scene.
Everyone was dumbstruck, completely frozen in place.
...
Upon reaching Sky Sanctuary and landing, Timothy immediately distanced himself from Holy Maiden Aeliana.
"Isn't it a bit too much to distance yourself from me like this? After all, I'm just a frail woman."
Holy Maiden Aeliana moved closer, looking pitiful.
"You call Holy Emperor-level strength frail? The main thing is..." Timothy glanced towards Sky Sanctuary and coughed lightly.
"Cough, well, yeah."
Holy Maiden Aeliana immediately seemed a bit intimidated.
She lowered her shoulders and even her walk became very proper.
As they approached Sky Sanctuary, both slowed their steps.
Although confident just moments ago, Holy Maiden Aeliana now seemed a bit scared: "Maybe you should go in alone, maybe Sylvia got the message wrong, she might not have meant to summon me..."
Timothy gave her a look: "If you don't go, maybe Goddess Sylvia will be at Blooming Sanctuary with a knife looking for you in an hour."
"Uh, then I better go."
Hearing this, Holy Maiden Aeliana hurriedly followed Timothy closely into Sky Sanctuary.
A chilly mist lingered, and on the high throne sat Sylvia with her ethereal presence.
Her pale blue gown gently fell over the chair, her legs, white and delicate as lotus roots, crossed elegantly, like finely carved jade.
Such a long chair, no, such a white chair.
Timothy suddenly felt his throat go dry.
"Timothy, I heard that you got quite close with Holy Maiden Aeliana in the forbidden land?"
Just then, Sylvia smiled gently.
Her laughter was as melodious as flowing water, but it sent a chill down Timothy's spine.
Beside him, Holy Maiden Aeliana secretly breathed a sigh of relief, a smug smile appearing on her face.
It seemed Sylvia was planning to deal with Timothy, so she probably had nothing to worry about!
Timothy hurriedly defended himself: "Honey, you believe me, I did nothing wrong, I really refused her outright!"
"I know."
Sylvia nodded quickly: "I had already received the news.
I heard that in the forbidden land, Holy Maiden Aeliana tried to test you, even using her charms.
But you were completely unmoved and refused her outright?"
"Uh?"
Hearing this, both Timothy and Holy Maiden Aeliana were momentarily stunned.
"Honey, you mean..."
Timothy looked up and suddenly noticed a thaw in Sylvia's icy demeanor, a slight smile curling at the corners of her mouth, and even her pale legs seemed to twitch excitedly.
"Hmph, you did well.
I'll forgive you for what happened in the forbidden land."
Her light chuckle, tinged with a smile, was more adorable than ever.
"You really have a keen eye, honey!" Timothy couldn't help but give a thumbs up in admiration.
"But, daring to have designs on Timothy behind my back, don't you think you owe me an explanation, Aeliana?" Sylvia turned to Holy Maiden Aeliana, her smile chillingly sinister.
Holy Maiden Aeliana suddenly felt a cold shiver down her spine.
This was a scenario she hadn't anticipated at all!
"No, this isn't right!"
Holy Maiden Aeliana felt she was being treated unfairly.
"Sylvia, you're biased! Timothy is also at fault, you can't just punish me!"
"Holy Maiden, haven't you heard of a couple standing united? My wife is so kind-hearted, how could she bear to strike me?" Timothy taunted from the side.
Sylvia smiled lightly and didn't speak, but she stepped closer to Holy Maiden Aeliana.
Holy Maiden Aeliana was completely flustered, feeling a tremendous malice from the world.
These two, not only flaunting their love but even their hearts seemed to be strung together.
This was clearly unfair treatment!
She vividly remembered, two hundred years ago, Sylvia was that little girl who constantly read "Uselessness of Spiritual Partners" and scorned all men.
Back then, Sylvia wouldn't even spare a glance at any man.
She also remembered, a hundred years ago, a powerful Holy Emperor confessed his love to Sylvia.
But he was coldly rejected by Sylvia, leading to a mental breakdown and a ruined path of cultivation.
But now, Sylvia had changed, completely changed.
Not only was she flaunting her love, but she had also become a fierce protector of her husband!
"Sylvia, we've been friends for hundreds of years."
"Sylvia, men are just external possessions, you mustn't be blinded by them!"
"Woohoo, Sylvia, please let me go, don't do this!"
In the great hall, Holy Maiden Aeliana's pleas echoed one after another.
But these pleas couldn't stop Sylvia's advancing steps.
Soon, Holy Maiden Aeliana's graceful figure was dragged behind a barrier.
Accompanied by Sylvia's swift and decisive actions, the cries of pleading continued.
Outside the barrier.
Timothy quietly activated the Piercing Sight technique of the Soulborn Eye.
Instantly, the scenes behind the barrier were laid bare.
And his nose began to bleed.
