Lunus shook his head somewhat confusedly, "I don’t know. Since Lan’er was born, he replaced me as the new carrier of the Curse Power."
"Since then, I have never seen ’him’ again."
"’He’ may have disappeared, may have been asleep, or perhaps... merged with me. These things are inherently mysterious and difficult to express, even I can’t explain clearly."
"Xiao Tang, there’s something I must remind you, Lan’er’s talents far surpass mine, he might be the strongest of all time..."
Lunus was about to continue when a clear and pleasant voice suddenly came from the door, interrupting their conversation.
"Tangtang, what are you talking about with father? You’ve been talking for so long."
The young man was quietly standing at the door, smiling brightly at the two inside the hall. No one knew when he appeared, as there wasn’t even the sound of a knock.
His slender, tall figure stood outside the door, not stepping even half a foot over the threshold. Though he was so near, he seemed somewhat distant, as if standing alone in another world.
"Mother has prepared a lavish welcome feast, waiting so long the dishes have gone cold, she told me to call you." He smiled helplessly.
Shen Tang smiled, "Alright, we’ll go there now!"
She looked apologetically at Lunus, "Priest, do you want to eat first? We can talk after the meal."
Lunus looked at the young man at the door, then drew back his gaze a beat late, his lips wore a loving and gentle smile, "No need, the time has come, I must leave."
He took a sea shell from his sleeve and handed it to her, "This was created by a Divine Servant from the Divine Hall who is skilled in the Sound Transmission Technique. No matter where you are, or how far you are, you can communicate through this sea shell."
"In the future... should you encounter any unsolvable problems, you can use it to contact me anytime."
Shen Tang received the golden sea shell. It was only palm-sized, with intricate and exquisite patterns, the tail end had a small hole carved into it with runes containing superpower fluctuations, giving it a miraculous and mysterious feel.
Beastmen generally use Light Computers to communicate, but Light Computers have regional restrictions, mostly usable only domestically or with allied nations, and once blacklisted by enemy nations, they cannot be used.
This communication device, created by superpower, is usually not blocked by any signals—unless the other side has a special superpower specifically targeting the Sound Transmission Technique. The communication sea shell is limited to conversations between both parties, with no worry of network eavesdropping, making it overall quite practical.
After Lunus bid farewell to Jialouluo, he returned to the Divine Hall.
Twenty years passed, and the two tacitly refrained from mentioning old matters, which could be considered an end to their past grievances.
Jialouluo personally accompanied him for a while, watching the direction he left in—with a trace of emptiness in her heart.
However, having reached middle age, she no longer held the arrogant aloofness she had in her youth. Especially after enduring this calamity, she lived more thoroughly, understood the world has many things you cannot force, and letting go is actually a form of completion.
At least, she has a beautiful and obedient son.
Thinking of such an excellent successor, Jialouluo did not dwell on melancholy for long, soon putting the matter aside, and personally arranging the ceremony with the Ritual Officer.
After dining with Jia Lan, Shen Tang also went back to rest.
Initially, the Sea Clan’s situation settled, Shen Tang feared Xiao Jin and the others would worry for too long, intending to return as soon as possible.
But this short day felt as lengthy as half a century, her mental strength was exhausted to the extreme, so she decided to rest well for one night in the Sea Country Palace.
She already sent messages to Lu Xiao and the others reassuring them of her safety, informing them the Sea Clan’s situation was determined, and she would return in the morning.
As Jia Lan’s partner, Shen Tang naturally did not need another room arranged, staying in the luxurious palace he once resided in.
Glazed tiles for the roof, jade for the walls, the sleeping chamber hung with pearl curtains made from strings of precious coral gemstones, and the giant shell bed covered with soft silk bedding.
After bathing, Shen Tang changed into a pure white nightdress.
The nightdress was made from silk unique to the Sea Clan, soft and form-fitting, very comfortable to wear.
She lay on the soft, big bed, her dark long hair scattered, curling a slender, fair leg, her gown slightly sliding down to just cover her thigh root.
The freshly bathed woman’s cheeks were rosy, her black, moist cat eyes sparkled with alluring charm, her eyelashes appeared to hang with dewy droplets, exuding a lazy and enchanting aura.
Jia Lan emerged from the bath to see this scene.
