Chapter 211
Jialouluo felt a moment of trance; she hadn’t seen Lunus for a long time.
Since the two had a falling out twenty years ago.
She had only seen him twice.
Once, it was when Lunus was holding a three-year-old child, questioning her in person, wanting to take away the child’s custody.
The second time was more than a year ago, he also came because of Jia Lan’s marriage.
Lunus had promised that he would return to the palace once a year after Jia Lan came of age, but this time, he didn’t even come to see her, it seems he still harbors resentment towards her p>
The most shocked person in the crowd was none other than Jia Lan.
Who could understand the shock of suddenly discovering a biological father?
Later that evening, when they returned to the palace to rest, Shen Tang carefully explained the whole sequence of events to him, including what she learned about Jia Lan’s parentage from the High Priest’s memory.
“By the way, before the High Priest left, he told me that we could go to the Priest Temple to find him in the future… You’ve never met your father, do you want to take the opportunity to see him p>
Jia Lan’s feelings were indescribably complex, he had heard of the High Priest of the Sea Country since he was a child, and like ordinary Beastmen, he had feelings of admiration, but unexpectedly, the High Priest turned out to be his biological father.
He shook his head and said, “Forget it, the High Priest is my biological father, but the two of us haven’t really interacted, blood relations ultimately remain thin p>
“But from what I see, he seems to really like you, he might have often secretly visited you when you were young p>
Jia Lan had been called a wild child without a father since he was young, now knowing his biological father is still alive, how could he not be happy.
Shen Tang nodded with a smile, “Mmm, when there’s an opportunity later, we’ll go visit the High Priest p>
Jia Lan looked at her bright and radiant smile, his Adam’s apple moved as he pulled her into his arms, he rubbed his face against her cheek, murmuring, “Thank you, Tangtang p>
It’s a good thing she was here this time, otherwise, he might not have gotten through this.
Thinking of the harsh words he had said to her before, Jia Lan regretted them so much that he silently swore in his heart: he will make sure to make it up to her!
Thinking of the other males at home still waiting to snatch her away, Jia Lan’s handsome face darkened, having finally caught a sweet moment alone, he had to come up with ways to keep her in the Sea Country a few more days.
Otherwise, after returning, he wouldn’t even get a chance to eat meat, let alone soup.
Suddenly, Jia Lan recalled the loss of control from last time, it remained like a thorn in his heart.
Although normal now, he was still plagued by an inexplicable feeling of unease.
Afraid he would hurt her again.
Shen Tang felt the youth suddenly hold her tightly, squeezing her to the point she could barely breathe, just as she was about to speak, she heard Jia Lan’s low and hoarse voice in her ear, “Tangtang p>
“Next time, if I lose control, don’t hesitate, just kill me p>
Shen Tang was shocked, “What nonsense are you saying p>
“I’m not saying nonsense, I mean it!” Jia Lan let her go.
He held her shoulders, gazing deeply into her, there was a hint of sorrow in his bright blue eyes, “That time I lost all reason, I was insane! I almost killed you, yet you didn’t retaliate, you… you are too foolish p>
“Promise me next time, you won’t get hurt p>
“I’d rather have you kill me with your own hands than to find myself embracing your body once I’m sober p>
Shen Tang was speechless, not expecting Jia Lan to say such words after reaching deep love.
Thinking of the sarcastic words this man had said before, yet now he was willing to sacrifice his life for her, the change is so vast it’s like two different people!
Shen Tang flicked his forehead lightly, her eyes curved with a cheerful tone, “Stop overthinking, everything is in the past, the doll is in my possession, nothing like this will happen again p>
“Mmm, unless I destroy the doll? Then you’d surely be at ease p>
“No need, you can keep it if you want p>
“Mmm mmm~ The doll looks like you, very pretty, I want to keep it as a souvenir p>
Jia Lan heard her teasing words, his tense heart slowly relaxed, ear tips blushing slightly, “With me right here, what’s the point of a motionless doll, wouldn’t it look eerie p>
“But I just like it, what to do?” Shen Tang said, leaning closer to him, giving him a kiss on the lips.
Jia Lan’s handsome face turned scarlet instantly, his heart also disturbed.
Shen Tang was deceiving him.
As the High Priest said, Jia Lan had only about a year left to live, she didn’t want him to spend this year suffering under the stress of pain and regret.
Shen Tang had also asked the system if the Life Revival Talisman could be used on Jia Lan, unfortunately, it couldn’t.
The Life Revival Talisman could only extend the lifespan of a Beastman.
For instance: A Beastman dying from an accident.
Jia Lan’s shortened life was due to the Curse Power.
His lifespan is at most one year, unchangeable, unless his life is exchanged with another.
In the original, his extended life was due to the High Priest exchanging his own life with his.
No matter what.
Shen Tang decided to keep the curse matter under wraps, pushing the blame onto the doll.
“It’s late at night, don’t you want to do something else that’s fun?” Shen Tang flipped herself onto his lap, her fingertips gently brushing across his chest, breathing lightly and fragrantly.
Jia Lan’s gaze heated up, disregarding all other matters, turning over and pressing down.
It was a sleepless night.
The entire Sea Country was lit up.
The attendants eating melon in the Imperial Palace never expected to hear such secrets, spreading the news swiftly.
One passing on to ten, ten to a hundred, through just one night’s fermentation, the citizens of Sea Country all knew Jia Lan Prince’s biological father was unexpectedly the legendary and mysterious High Priest of Sea Country!
This had the people in shock.
Many who secretly called Jia Lan a wild child now felt their faces burning, guilt ridden, aching with regret, wishing they could slap their mouths, no longer daring to speak carelessly.
A few days later, the Empress agreed to trade, signing the order agreement.
The mission at Sea Country was completed, Shen Tang and Jia Lan were ready to set off back.
On their last day before leaving, Shen Tang let Jia Lan arrange a private family dinner with the Empress, where she personally cooked and prepared hotpot.
The Empress, who initially looked down on these cheap vegetable leaves, seemed to open the door to a new world after having the hotpot, praised it greatly, and immediately placed a large order!
Shen Tang gained a lot from this trip!
On the morning of the following day, the two packed their things and returned to the land to find Lu Xiao.
The border of Eternal Winter Empire.
Extreme Cold Ice Field, Fierce Beasts rampant, encompassing many dangerous forbidden zones.
Underneath the snowy icefield, countless warrior corpses are buried unknown.
Only the true strong can conquer this land.
“Boom p>
From the mountainside of a glacier, there came bursts of rumbling explosions.
A tall and straight figure stood firm in the icefield.
Covered in a long robe, obscuring the face, walking step by step across the icy terrain, wielding an ice-forged long sword, exuding an aggressive aura.
The cold wind rustled fiercely, lifting the brim, revealing his sharply defined jawline, and beautifully curved thin lips.
“Bang p>
A loud crash.
The ice layer beneath the man’s feet cracked open.
From underground erupted an Icefield Giant Worm dozens of meters long.
The giant worm opened its bloodthirsty jaw filled with razor-sharp teeth, ready to swallow the man whole instantly!
The youth swiftly dodged, leaping into mid-air, the long sword in hand flipped and expanded, stabbing into the giant worm’s body, nailing it firmly to the ground!
Cracks opened in the ice accumulated over millions of years, showcasing the man’s immense strength!
The Seventh Rank giant worm struggled a few times, then fell silent completely.
Nearby, hundreds of giant beast corpses lay scattered, blood flowed in meandering streams, nearly dyeing the ice layer under the man’s feet pale red.
He pulled the long sword from the beast’s corpse, took out a clean cloth, casually wiping down the ice sword.
Following him were a dozen Beastmen, all ranked Sixth Rank and above.
Suddenly, from above came the sound of a bird call, swiftly followed by a snow owl Beastman landing and transforming into human form.
The snow owl Beastman hurriedly approached, routinely reporting on the latest situation in the Imperial City.
After some hesitation, he brought up another matter,
“Young Master, your former fiancée has returned p>
