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 pain and unwillingness.

Minos: "How about it being a dream?"

Duotu suddenly raised his head and stared at him with red eyes, "I am no match for Your Majesty the Holy Lord. You have everything now, but I have nothing."

"The precious things she gave you before she left are enough to make all the male 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. It is the only one that belongs to you. As for the rest, please forget about it, Your Majesty Alans."

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

Minos took out a bottle of love potion 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 slowly loosened it after a moment. He stood up from the ground, his face regained its composure, and said to Minos, "Thank you, Your Majesty. I want to go back to the temple to see the mother beast."

"Would you like to see her?"

Duotu was silent for a while, then nodded. "After letting go of those emotions and distractions, I figured out a lot of things. When I was a kid, I didn't understand why the mother beast was so cruel. She did 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, "I wish His Majesty Alans a safe journey. She should 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 the 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 that Ananuo was willing to take medication, and his condition gradually improved. He never had an attack again, and his life slowly got back on track.

Minos told the truth, "Aunt Anano didn't hate the child, but she felt guilty and afraid. Over the years, the nightmares gradually turned into fear. She was afraid of seeing the child whose wings she broke. She was afraid of seeing her son cursing her and hating her... This was the real reason why she didn't dare to see the child and face that memory."

Sang Luo nodded, "No wonder what is buried deep in her memory is not Ergali Alans, but Duotu."

Minos smiled and said, "My aunt loved this child very much. This is her first child and her only offspring. She 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 memory, but what happens in time will not change."

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

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

The 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 was determined to take 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. But what Ergali Alans did later completely broke all of 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 pain she had caused to her beloved son, and her memory began to escape from it all.

She continued to deepen her resentment in her heart, transferring her hatred for Ergali Arams onto 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 is really afraid of and 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 problems."

"Did Duotu really forgive his mother? Just seeing the pain of the clipping of wings in his memory makes me feel indescribable." Sang Luo asked, "What did he say that day?"

Minos looked at her curious expression, shook his head and smiled, repeating, "He said he didn't care about the blood of the angels. He just regretted 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 would be incomplete after all, and it would easily 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, "One more word."

"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 touched the invisible air with his slender and beautiful fingers, and golden energy waves rippled 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 is, 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 imperial level active, but now it has 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 rolled, 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 be long. I'll leave after the ceremony."

"……Um."
