Chapter 282: Forget Love (Rewards and Extra Updates)

Duotu looked down at the ground, his face ashen. "No result... What does that child mean? Tell me, what does everything between her and me mean?"

He covered his head with his hands, feeling pained and unwilling.

Minos, "How about calling it a dream?"

Duotu suddenly looked up, staring at him with red eyes, "I am no match for His Majesty the Holy Lord. You have everything now, and I have nothing."

"The precious gift she gave you before she left is enough to make all the beasts in the world envious." Minos shook his head. "This child is her unique gift to you."

“…”

Duotu's expression gradually became calm.

Minos handed the sleeping lion cub to him and said in a low and gentle voice, "Your child is the one you should cherish most in your life. He is the only one that belongs to you. As for the rest, please forget about him, Your Majesty."

Duotu looked at the child, closed his eyes, and then opened them again. After a long moment, he said, "How can I forget?"

Minos took out a bottle of forgetfulness water and said, "This is for His Majesty Alans."

Duotu drank it all in one gulp without hesitation.

He covered his face with his right hand, and after a moment he slowly released it. He stood up from the ground, his expression calm again, and said to Minos, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I want to go back to the temple to see the female beast."

"Would you like to see her?"

Duotu was silent for a moment, then nodded. "After letting go of those emotions and distracting thoughts, I finally understood a lot of things. When I was little, I didn't understand why the mother beast was so cruel. She did all those things to me and abandoned me forever... Now, I finally understand why my parents' relationship came to an end. I have some words hidden in my heart for many years, and I want to say them to the mother beast."

Minos nodded and said, "I wish His Majesty Alans a safe journey. She must be eager to meet you."

Duotu was stunned for two seconds after hearing this, then smiled bitterly and shook his head, "No, she hates me so much, I probably won't be able to see her, and she will kick me out."

"Isn't that so?"

“…”

After Duotu left, Minos found Sang Luo on a rattan chair in Hualinhai.

He told her everything that had just happened.

Sang Luo was surprised, "You also have the Love Potion?"

"The Love Potion is precious, and I only have two bottles."

Since returning that day, Sang Luo has heard a lot of rumors. Anano was willing to undergo drug treatment, and his condition gradually improved. He never had an attack again, and his life slowly got back on track.

Minos revealed the truth, "Aunt Ananu didn't harbor resentment towards the child, but rather guilt and fear. Over the years, these nightmares gradually transformed into fear. She was terrified of seeing the child whose wings she had broken. She was terrified of seeing her son curse her and resent her... This was the real reason she didn't dare see the child, or face those memories."

Sang Luo nodded, "No wonder what's buried deep in her memory isn't Ergali Yalans, but Duotu."

Minos smiled and said, "My aunt loved this child very much. He was her first child and her only offspring. She had wanted to bring him to live in the temple a long time ago, but was later disrupted by Ergari Alans."

Sang Luo, "Huh, I didn't see this memory?"

Minos, "This is the difference between time and memory. Emotions can distort memories, but what happened in time cannot be changed."

During the time that Anano actually experienced, she was both nervous and expectant about the arrival of her child. She was pregnant for a full ten years before giving birth to this precious child. Her youngest son did not cause her much trouble and was born smoothly and safely. He was a very cute angelic little lion who helped her escape the accountability of the temple.

When the little lion lay softly in her arms with his eyes closed, she really loved her son and would hold him to sleep every night.

Her youngest son would act coquettishly towards her and pick the most beautiful flower from the garden for her. Anano would put the flower in a vase by the window and hug her son and kiss him.

Ergali Alan wanted to keep the child as the heir to the empire, but Anano insisted on taking his son back to the temple so that his son could receive the inheritance as soon as possible and help his son awaken the power of the angels. However, what Ergali Alan did later completely broke all this.

Anano clipped her son's wings when she was insane. After she woke up, she cried bitterly and her spirit completely collapsed.

She couldn't bear the harm her actions had brought to her beloved son.

Her memory began to escape it all.

She continued to deepen her resentment in her heart, transferring her hatred for Ergali Yalans to her son, making her behavior seem justified.

She hated it, that's why she treated it like that. It was all the fault of the father and son, not hers.

What Anano really fears and is unwilling to face is her son's resentment and revenge.

"That day, Aunt Anano and her son had a long talk all night and resolved their conflict."

"Has Duotu truly forgiven his mother? Just reading his memory of the pain of having his wings clipped back then is so heartbreaking." Sang Luo asked, "What did he say that day?"

Minos saw her curious look, shook his head and smiled, repeating, "He said he doesn't care about the angel bloodline. He just regrets that his mother couldn't be with him when he was young."

Sang Luo was speechless and agreed with this statement. This was also the reason why she had to recognize the little lion. Growth without maternal love is incomplete after all, and it is easy to cause defects in character. She didn't want Hephis to follow Duotu's old path in the future.

Minos looked at her for a moment and said, "One more thing."

"Hmm? What else did he say?"

Minos just looked at her, his blue eyes clear and calm, as if inviting her.

Sang Luo understood what he meant, sat on his lap, and bent down to kiss him on the face.

Minos's slender and beautiful fingers touched the invisible air, and golden energy waves rippled out along his fingertips.

The scene around me changes.

The time of that day was presented before her eyes.

Sang Luo also heard those words.

Duotu said that it took him a long time to understand what love was, but it was too late.

Sang Luo rolled his throat, it was indeed too late.

But, a broken mirror cannot be mended.

Her story with him ended here.

As the days passed, Sang Luo learned from Yiluodi that the disaster beast was becoming more active.

At the beginning, there were only a few disaster beasts above the emperor level active, but now they have quickly spread to dozens of them, causing quite a bit of impact in many remote cities and tribes.

Sang Luo told Minos that she wanted to go back to the Beast World to take a look.

Minos did not want her to leave.

"Don't forget, you promised me not to restrict my freedom of movement."

"Wait a little longer." Minos looked at her, his Adam's apple rolling, and whispered, "Wait until I finish the Holy King Ceremony."

Sang Luo asked honestly, "When will it be held?"

"the day after tomorrow."

"Okay, it won't take many days. I'll leave after the ceremony."

"……Um."
