Chapter 44 July Flower: Truth and Lies

"What's going on?"

It was not convenient for Ye Yanze to go in directly, so he asked Suni in a low voice through a curtain. Golden light gathered on his hands and the golden thread was tied around the wrist of the lying pregnant woman.

"Lily was spurred on by the running just now. She is a little exhausted now, but the child's position is fine." Sunny said subconsciously, and then suddenly realized that Ye Yanze should be asking about elemental erosion.

"Lily and Neil were both mages, so they don't have black spots yet, but they don't have much elemental power left in their bodies."

Ye Yanze had overused his strength and could no longer stand. He found a place to lean on, closed his eyes, and felt the elemental power in Lily and her child.

This was not something that could be solved simply by using purification. Purification could alleviate elemental erosion to a certain extent, but in Gaya, it was like waterproofing the pool while he was pouring water out with a bowl.

There are active elemental forces in the mother's body that protect the mother and child, but this protection is no longer there after the child is born.

Sani didn't hear the rest of the story for a long time, and she had a bad feeling. She was a doctor, and although she didn't know magic, she had more or less learned something about elemental erosion here. She took a deep breath and asked.

"Your Highness...is there something wrong?" She didn't dare to say it too obviously and affect Lily's mood.

"Just focus on doing your own thing and doing what you are good at." Ye Yanze's tone was steady, and this calmness made everyone feel at ease. Since His Highness is here, nothing will happen.

"Your Highness... Your Highness... Is it a child..." Lily's voice was very soft, through the curtain.

Ye Yanze still heard it, but replied in a deep voice: "Don't worry."

Then he flipped his fingers, and a ray of golden light flowed into Lily's body along the golden thread.

Sunny, who was standing beside her, saw it most clearly. Lily's pale face and lips had turned a little redder, and her pupils were shining brightly.

After Ye Yanze finished his investigation, he turned around and opened the curtain to go out. As soon as he came out, he was surrounded. Neil rushed to the front, his lips trembling so much that he couldn't speak. It was obvious that he knew the current danger from Zelsa, and it was Zelsa who finally asked.

"Your Highness, do you have any solution?"

"Will elemental erosion affect Lily?" Neil thought of his wife first.

No one was not looking forward to this child, even those who knew about it in Gaya regarded this child as hope, as this was the only child in Gaya in ten years.

But he can never be greater than his wife.

Ye Yanze glanced at Neil a little more because of what he said, and just looked at Zelsa and stretched out his hand.

"There is a way, but it's only 60% certain. It won't have any impact on Lily, the main thing is the child."

Zelsa supported him, and when he heard what he said, her eyebrows raised slightly, but she said nothing.

Ye Yanze pulled his hand, his voice was neither loud nor low, but everyone around could hear it clearly.

"Zelsa's elemental power is very special. Perhaps he can dissolve elemental erosion to a certain extent."

Zelsa noticed that when Ye Yanze said this, the faces of the people around him changed one after another, and people like Mur, who had always disliked him, looked at him with a little more heat in their eyes.

Zelsa's burning is not Ye Yanze's purification, he symbolizes power and conquest. This powerful force is enough to change the current situation, just like when Ye Yanze became the Son of God.

But which side would he choose? The nobles? Another trump card in the master's hand to suppress them?

Or choose them and lead them to reshuffle all the rankings of high and low?

Logically speaking, his status as leader meant he had already chosen them, but it was clear today.

Neil has prestige but lacks the ability and ambition to be a leader. Moore and his people do not submit to him, and some of the rebels are also opposed to turning around to support Jaya.

The rebel members that Zelsa didn't bring with her this time stayed far away from Gaia's men, fearing that the infection would worsen.

In this situation, Zelsa's attitude towards His Royal Highness the Holy Son was obviously ambiguous. Whenever her hands were free, they would stick to the Holy Son, and her eyes could not see anyone else except the Holy Son.

Zelsa was aware of their now obviously much more enthusiastic attitude and just nodded to Neil.

"As best as I can."

Before turning around and following Ye Yanze in, he couldn't help but lean over and whisper in his ear.

"How clever."

Ye Yanze did not shy away as he thought, but just sneered and glanced at him instead.

"Stupid thing. You can't think that those beliefs and brotherhood can help you keep your position, right?"

Of course Zelsa knew it, but the ability he showed to intimidate everyone was not as good as what Ye Yanze admitted.

Even if he saved Gaja, the people here would regard him as a hostile noble lord, after all, he was the Son of God from Hermann's family.

What could be more convincing to his companions than the enemy's strong recruitment and appropriate reliance on him, which could make him the biggest bargaining chip for success? At this time, the enemy's recruitment made them realize that this trump card could not only be theirs, but also belong to a more superior enemy.

What a great tactic of exerting pressure from a superior, Ye Yanze used it just right and without leaving any trace.

"Okay, now what you have to do is to become Neil's benefactor." Ye Yanze raised his chin, his face was pale, but there was a stern and lively look in his eyes.

"If you fail, everyone will just think it's your fault, but if you succeed, they won't see you as a friend."

Zelza said softly, and red flames ignited on the fingers holding his wrist, burning along the golden thread, but it did not directly affect Lily.

They can't help now because the baby hasn't been born yet, so he still has time to ask Ye Yanze for a nice word.

Ye Yanze felt the fusion of power, his cheeks were stained red by the light of the red flame, and he smiled.

"I came here to do this thankless task for you, and it's also for you that I resorted to these tricks." Ye Yanze knew exactly what he wanted to hear.

Zelsa would rather be a fool who couldn't tell the truth from the false, but fortunately he could deceive himself. So he hugged him from behind, and his true heart was wrinkled and flattened by his lies.

"Your Highness! The baby's head is out!"

Ye Yanze raised his left hand and whispered, "Purification." Spots of light lit up in the inner room, buying time for the child.

"Give birth to the baby as soon as possible and bring it to me." Ye Yanze's right hand had already grabbed Zelsa.

The golden light and the red flame intertwined, but very gently. Zelsa's red flame always lingered around the golden light, following the movement of the light spots, like a loyal knight.

A baby's cry echoed throughout the tent, and Sunny screamed in surprise, but she immediately reacted and asked someone next to her to wash the baby, pack it up, and hand it to Ye Yanze.

In just a short while, black spots began to appear on the face of the child handed over to Ye Yanze. This was a corrosive pain that even adults could not bear. The baby had no strength and even when he cried, he was as weak as a kitten without any sound.

Ye Yanze did not delay and penetrated the golden threads into the child's body strand by strand. The baby was fragile and could not withstand this kind of purification very well, so he needed to be very careful.

Zelsa watched the baby's face gradually return to normal, and at the right time guided the golden and red interwoven light to shrink into a ball, gradually flying into the baby's forehead.

Ye Yanze's posture of holding the child was surprisingly standard. His hair fluttered in the wind, his slightly drooping eyelashes were shining, and the baby's cry gradually became louder.

Finally, Ye Yanze stretched out his finger and placed it on the baby's forehead, sensing that the ball of light was gradually merging into the baby's heart and guiding it to settle down there.

"Your 60% confidence is still so reliable."

Zelsa withdrew his hand and chuckled. Ye Yanze had this old habit from his previous life. If he said he was 60% sure, it meant he was 90% sure. If there was a way, it could be solved.

Ye Yanze finally withdrew his hand, and the golden light gradually disappeared. The baby fell asleep with his eyes closed. His expression was calm, and there were no black spots.

"After all, I heard you say how much Neil was upset about the child who died at birth. Taking some risks to keep the mother and child safe will bring huge benefits in return."

Ye Yanze explained with a cold face that he was a completely cold-blooded and ambitious person, but he held the baby steadily in his arms and coaxed him gently, and his lowered eyes were soft and warm.

Zelsa couldn't accept it this time and wanted to take it directly, but Ye Yanze refused because her hands were too strong and she couldn't hold a child. She bypassed him and called Sunny to give it to her.

"Your Highness! Lily wants to thank you in person..."

"He needs to rest. There's no rush for anything right now."

Zelsa's eyes were filled with Ye Yanze's tired expression. He had been bumping along the way without even a rest, and had directly confronted the scorpion tail, helped with purification, and even saved a child.

Zelsa simply picked up Ye Yanze, suppressed his fearless struggle, turned around, and walked out while holding him in her arms in front of Sunny's surprised eyes.

"Do you want everyone to think that you are being kept by a noble lord?" Ye Yanze found a comfortable place to nestle. Zelsa hugged him so much that he actually got into a weird habit of it.

"So I am your lover?" Zelsa asked him jokingly, unwilling to give up.

Ye Yanze said nothing, closed his eyes and seemed to fall asleep.

Zelsa ignored their suspicious looks and just told Neil and his mother that they were safe, then took him on a horse and rode back to the three-story white building.

Ye Yanze had completely fallen into a deep sleep, which was a symptom of excessive consumption of elemental power. Zelsa knew that he would be unhappy when he woke up and found that he had gone to bed without washing, so he asked him to lie down and wipe his face and hands carefully.

This small white building is a villa left behind by the evacuated nobles. The big bed in the bedroom is as luxurious as the one in the temple, surrounded by gauze curtains.

The light of dusk could not penetrate the dark clouds, and the candlelight reflected on the veil was hazy and quiet. Zelsa squatted beside his bed, wanting to reach out and touch his cheek, but subconsciously clenched her hand.

His hands were not pretty enough, they were rough, dark, not slender, and his fingers were long and the knuckles were thick. No wonder he would cry and say it hurt every time, get angry, and beg him to let go.

Just treat him as a bad guy, not only does he not want to let go, he also wants to eat him whole.

At the same time, in the Hilt Manor in the royal capital, Luther held a golden July flower in his hand. His slender and well-proportioned hands were well-maintained, and his nails were smooth and even. His fingers casually fiddled with the petals and the stamens. The gold and white contrasted with each other, inexplicably colorful.

Suddenly his heart choked, and his face froze for a moment. His long straight eyelashes were half drooped, his soft and affectionate eyes were half bright and half dim in the light, his lips were straight, and his cold expression was 70% similar to Zelsa.

He had no place to vent the unbearable anger and resentment that he couldn't find the source of, so he looked at his hands for a long time without moving.

"Master, the whereabouts of His Royal Highness the Holy Son has been confirmed. He has been taken to Gaya."
