Talented Martial Hero novel Chapter 158

Three days went by quickly. For the past three days, Darren assimilated elixirs that would help heal his wounds.

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

Someone was knocking on the door.

"Come in!"

Darren said. He opened his eyes and saw a girl in gray standing in front of him.

"Darren, Holy Lord Diana asked me to invite you to her palace," the girl said as she bowed her head as a sign of respect.

"Holy Lord Diana wants to see me? Alright. Would you please lead the way?"

Darren had almost completely recovered from his injuries, and he had wanted to go for a walk anyway, so he stepped out of his room and followed the girl.

As soon as he stepped out, he was, for the first time, able to appreciate just how beautiful the Lotus Holy Land was. It was filled with spiritual energy and delicate pavilions and splendid palaces. The place was so beautiful that the imperial palace of Doriath paled in comparison.

They walked slowly and after about an hour, they arrived at a place with a unique scenery.

In front of him was a huge, magnificent waterfall. At its foot lay a crystal clear pool with a cyan lotus about thirty meters in diameter in the middle.

The lotus was so immensely beautiful that Darren could not remove his gaze from it.

"Welcome, Darren!"

Darren was drawn back to his usual self when he heard someone call his name. He turned around and saw the Holy Lord Diana in cyan.

"Good day, Holy Lord Diana!" he said as he bowed slightly.

"Don't bother. Take a seat," Diana said, gesturing at a lotus-shaped platform.

Darren sat down beside her on the platform.

"Holy Lord Diana, what is it that you want me to do?" Darren asked.

"Nothing, really. I just wanted to know if you have already recovered from your injuries," Diana answered with a smile.

Then they began to chat casually. Even though Diana was the Holy Lord, she was not arrogant in the least, so Darren felt completely at ease while talking to her.

"Oh, I almost forgot! I have something to tell you. It's about you and Belle," Diana suddenly said after a few minutes of chatting with Darren.

"I'm listening, Holy Lord." Darren could not help but feel curious about what Diana was going to say.

Diana paused for a while, as if she was thinking of what to say, and then continued, "There is no easy way to say this but you and Belle are not siblings."

"Huh?" Darren was totally shocked from what he heard. 'What even made Diana think that?' he thought.

"That's impossible! We grew up together. Plus, even though I was just two years old when Belle was born, I still have snippets of memories from when she was born. I can vaguely remember how busy it was in our yard that day." The information he had just been told was too much for him to process, and he could not find himself to believe it at all. How could that even be?

Holy Lord Diana shook her head and explained, "Belle has the Primitive Feminine Body. Therefore, she possesses the Primitive Feminine Bloodline. I checked, and saw that your bloodline is the same as everyone else's. Yours is an ordinary bloodline, so there is no way you and Belle are related by blood. Just like the Ancient Family Bloodline, the Primitive Feminine Bloodline can only be inherited."

Darren was still overwhelmed and surprised, but what Diana was saying started making more sense to him.

Darren thought for a while but still felt confused. He swore he could remember the exact scenery when Belle was born.
