Chapter 1138 - 820: True and False Holy Seat

Chapter 1138: Chapter 820: True and False Holy Seat

Liu Ye leaned against the edge of the pool. Compared to his usual pride and coldness, there was now an indescribable hint of fragility. His cool, pale, exquisite face was tinged with a faint blush, lush and intoxicating, inviting one to pluck and possess.

Right now, a faintly cold, bewitching aura emanated from him, just the scent alone making people feel a little dizzy and dazed, as if their souls were being hooked away.

Shen Tang was dazed for a moment, then quickly steadied her mind and walked forward, stopping a few steps away from him.

She gathered a pure, gentle green light, slowly spreading it over the young man’s body.

Liu Ye, however, furrowed his brows. "Come closer."

"No need to go over. I can heal you just fine from here." Shen Tang still kept a wary eye on Liu Ye.

Besides, her Healing Ability was extremely powerful; there was no need for skin contact, as long as she was within close range she could treat his wounds.

"Am I some kind of beast out of a flood? Hiding that far away?" Liu Ye’s voice went colder. "Is this how you treat a patient?"

"I’ve never seen a patient with a temper like yours either!"

Shen Tang huffed angrily, too lazy to argue with him over such trivialities. She flicked her tail and ran over, reaching out a fluffy little paw and lightly resting it on his firm forearm.

Her posture screamed that she was terrified of touching even a little more than necessary!

Liu Ye closed his eyes, the muscles of his arm subtly tightening. That soft, furry touch felt far more intense than human skin.

Perhaps it was because he was in this damned heat period; with just that tiny bit of contact, certain fragmented images flashed through his mind.

A female leaning close in an embrace, necks intertwined in a kiss, bodies pressed together... utterly indecent!

His breathing grew more and more unstable. He turned his head again to look at the little cat beside him, focused on Healing, his gaze darkening. "Why aren’t you changing back?"

"I’m only helping you heal, what difference does it make if I change back or not?" Shen Tang covered her body with both claws, eyeing him warily!

Liu Ye looked at her evasive, keeping-her-distance posture and felt even more displeased. He forced her with a command to change back.

It wasn’t as if he hadn’t seen her before; what was there to guard against?

Shen Tang absolutely refused to change back.

Liu Ye reached out a hand to seize her.

Shen Tang bolted in fright, but Liu Ye was quick-eyed and quick-handed and still caught her. Furious, she kicked out a hind leg at his god-like handsome face, leaving a muddy paw print.

"Let go of me, you bastard!"

"I told you, you’re not getting away."

Shen Tang was so angry she opened her mouth, about to bite his arm.

Liu Ye beat her to it, pulling out a vial and injecting the drug into her body.

仙人板板, it was this trick again!

Shen Tang blacked out once more. Liu Ye casually grabbed the long robe piled up by the shore and draped it over himself, then carried the little cat back to the room and locked her back in the cage.

The young man’s long lashes drooped slightly. He glanced at the chain that had been bitten halfway through and chuckled softly, but didn’t bother with it, turning and lying back down on the bed.

He pillowed one hand behind his head, bent one long leg, watched the night outside the window for a while, then turned his head to look at the sleeping little cat in the cage.

Why was she always this restless by his side? Every time he had to use a bit of force before she’d become this obedient.

Liu Ye lifted a hand to touch the spot on his chest. The internal injuries in his body had all been Healed, and that uncomfortable feeling had dissipated by more than half.

Aside from the lingering heat and afterglow of his rut in his body, there was nothing else particularly wrong.

He took out a syringe of inhibitor from the drawer, jabbed it into himself, and suppressed the agitation of this heat period.

The next morning, a message came from outside saying something required his presence.

Liu Ye wasn’t loyal to the Divine Hall, but since he had received the Divine Hall’s favor, he wouldn’t defy orders either.

"Stay put and behave until I come back."

Leaving those words behind, Liu Ye departed.

Shen Tang curled up in the cage, too lazy to even greet him.

[Host, look who’s here!] the System spoke with delight.

...

"My lord, didn’t you just leave not long ago? How come you’re back again?"

The guard at the door scratched his head in confusion as he stared at the refined, handsome blond young man before him.

Hadn’t my lord just hurried off on urgent business? How come he was back in no time? And if he remembered correctly, that wasn’t the outfit he had on when he left—he’d even changed clothes along the way? Truly leisurely.

The young man spoke in a mild tone. "I suddenly remembered I left something in the palace. I’m coming back to fetch it."

The guard had no doubts and hurriedly let him through.

The young man strode into the palace and saw the cat cage not far from the bedside.

In that instant, his blue pupils suddenly contracted, and fury flared in his eyes!

He quickly walked over, opened the cage, and scooped the little cat into his arms, his movements cautious and gentle to the extreme, as if afraid she might get hurt.

His gentle, elegant voice was tense to the extreme. "Tangtang, are you okay? I’m sorry, I came late."

The man before her was tall and straight, long golden hair cascading down his back. Though it wasn’t the face Shen Tang remembered as the most familiar, she still recognized him at a glance—it was her Ah Lan!

Shen Tang rubbed excitedly against his face. "Ah Lan, how did you find me? And your hair, why is it also..."

"That place can’t trap me. It’s just that the Divine Hall’s surveillance everywhere is a real nuisance. Looking like this is more convenient and safer."

Jia Lan lowered his head and took a deep breath against her, a mouthful of sweet scent filling his lungs, and only then did his anxious heart finally calm down.

He missed her so much, he wanted to do something even more intimate, but time was pressing, so he could only suppress the feelings in his heart.

"Tangtang, it’s too dangerous here. I’ll get you out first." Jia Lan said coldly.

Shen Tang nodded, then quickly shook her head. "Wait, Ah Lan, I still want to rescue one more person!"

Shen Tang knew Jia Lan had never met Shu Kui, so she briefly told him about Shu Kui. If there was a chance, she wanted to save Shu Kui as well.

Jia Lan didn’t know Shu Kui, but he could hear that the male was very important to Shen Tang, and his heart instantly turned sour and bitter.

He’d been gone for so long, and now she had someone new by her side...

Had she fallen for someone else?

And that person had even saved her life.

That male must be very important in her heart, right? More important than him?

For a moment Jia Lan’s thoughts churned wildly, and the more he thought, the more sour his heart felt.

But since he was the benefactor who’d saved her life, then he was his benefactor too. Besides, no matter what she wanted to do, he would definitely do his best to fulfill her wishes.

"Alright, I’ll take you to find him. But your safety comes first! If anything unexpected happens, I’ll take you away immediately."

Jia Lan tucked Shen Tang into his sleeve and openly carried her out.

The relationship between Liu Ye and Jia Lan was classified within the Divine Hall. Aside from those few Holy Seats, no idle outsiders knew about it.

The guards outside saw Jia Lan approach and were extremely reverent; they didn’t even dare raise their heads to look at him more than once, afraid of overstepping.

Jia Lan himself could also access the memories from before Liu Ye’s split. Previously, it was because his strength was weaker and he was suppressed, but now things were different.

He knew very clearly that the Divine Hall had a prison specifically used to confine important internal traitors.

The benefactor Shen Tang spoke of was most likely locked up there.

"Lord Liu Ye, what brings you here?" the guards outside the prison asked in surprise.

Jia Lan said, "I’m going to see Shu Kui."

"This... that one is an important felon in custody, my lord. Why would you want to see him? I’m afraid this matter needs to be reported up the chain..."

"Shu Kui and I can be considered friends. What’s wrong with me going to see him? Or is it that the command of me, a dignified Holy Seat, no longer holds weight? My affairs still need to be reported to others?" The young man’s voice remained calm and cool as he narrowed his sharp, deep blue eyes, a thick, powerful pressure rolling off him.

The guards were so terrified that cold sweat poured down their backs; their legs went weak and they dropped to their knees.

"Please forgive us, my lord, we absolutely didn’t mean that!" the guard stammered, hastily stepping aside.

The Holy Seat was currently the highest rank in the Divine Hall, and the one before them was the newly appointed Holy Seat. They only needed to follow orders.

Jia Lan strode inside.

Watching all this, Shen Tang couldn’t help clicking her tongue in amazement. In front of her, Jia Lan usually looked all tame and adorable; sometimes she even forgot that he was Atlantis’s Sea God High Priest—cold and imposing! Commanding respect without anger!

From this angle, Liu Ye and Jia Lan really were quite alike!

Jia Lan found the cell where Shu Kui was imprisoned.

"Go in and find him. I’ll keep watch outside." Jia Lan said considerately.

"Thank you for the hard work, Ah Lan." Shen Tang nodded. On her way here, she had already used her spiritual power to fully probe the surroundings.

She used materialized spiritual power to destroy the nearby surveillance.

Shen Tang planted a kiss on his face, then lightly leaped down from him. After scanning with the Universal Card, the door opened.

She hurried into the cell.
