Chapter 70: Brother Timothy is awesome!
The first round of the grand festival was for mingling, and the second for competition.
The third round of the grand festival was led by the ancient elders of the sacred land, who delivered sermons to the righteous monks who had gathered.
True to their reputation, the elders spoke for a full day and night, benefiting many monks immensely.
Especially the disciples who weren't very advanced but had great insight—they gained significantly, as if nourished by a spiritual spring.
Then, the Blooming Sanctuary officially hosted a grand banquet.
There was singing, dancing, and plenty of wine—a truly magnificent scene.
The banquet lasted three days and nights, and all the visiting monks left satisfied.
The bonds between the sects grew stronger, and many felt as if they had been spiritually cleansed, achieving great advancements in their realms.
Aside from the unexpected appearance of Thunder Sage, the festival went off without a hitch.
It almost seemed like a world where only Thunder Sage got hurt...
Blooming Sanctuary strengthened its ties with other major powers and further solidified its status and prestige.
After the festival, many monks said their goodbyes and left, while some stayed to continue their studies at Blooming Sanctuary.
...
On a hillside behind Blooming Sanctuary.
A gentle breeze stirred the flowers and grass.
Timothy sat next to Sylvia.
He shifted a bit closer, then a bit closer still, until his shoulder gently touched hers.
Instantly, Sylvia's aloof demeanor faltered slightly: "Move away a bit."
"Not happening."
Timothy chuckled, "But, honey, you were so cool when you took down Thunder Sage. Was that the legendary beauty saving the hero?"
"You think I did that for you? Whether you live or die, what does it have to do with me? I just couldn't stand that guy," Sylvia said, her lips curling slightly, seemingly indifferent.
"I don't believe you for a second.
But honey, didn't you forget something?"
"What?"
"When I won the music competition, you mentioned a 'verbal' reward."
"What verbal reward? I... I have no idea what you're talking about," Sylvia turned her head away, her gaze shifting evasively.
"Heh, don't try to fool me, honey. You know exactly what you meant," Timothy leaned in slowly.
Sylvia made a small move to retreat, but it was minimal.
Soon, they were completely close together.
Suddenly, both turned their heads sharply, their gazes sharp as swords, staring at something behind a distant tree.
"Ha ha ha, what a coincidence, the moon is so round tonight, are you guys here to enjoy it too?" Holy Maiden Aeliana emerged from behind the tree with an awkward laugh.
The sun was high, the sky cloudless.
"What do you think?" Sylvia's smile was chillingly eerie.
"Sylvia, so the friend you mentioned before was actually yourself!" Holy Maiden Aeliana stepped back, looking utterly aggrieved.
"Don't go, since you wanted to watch, keep watching," but in an instant, Sylvia's figure had already floated behind her, her delicate hand resting lightly on her shoulder.
"Sylvia, spare me!"
"Ah~"
Moments later, the esteemed Holy Maiden Aeliana, the leader of the sacred land, was brutally tied to a tree with a rope, her mouth stuffed with a pink bra.
No matter how she sobbed and struggled, she couldn't break free from her bonds.
She could only desperately move her body and slender legs, trying to make one last struggle.
"What are you looking at?" Sylvia pinched Timothy hard.
"Cough, nothing, it's not my fault, it's my eyes—they have a mind of their own," Timothy coughed awkwardly, quickly averting his gaze.
It couldn't be helped,Holy Maiden Aeliana was just too stunning.
Compared to my wife, she has that delicate and soft style.
And with the ropes, Holy Maiden Aeliana's already graceful figure was outlined even more enchantingly.
Especially that curve, which seemed to be... a bit more than Sylvia's.
Any man would find it hard to control himself!
After calming down a bit.
Timothy snuggled up to Sylvia, his voice soft, "Honey~, so about that verbal reward you mentioned earlier..."
Sylvia lightly brushed a lock of hair from her temple, her cheeks blushing like jade: "You just can't let go of that, can you? Fine, I'll reward you."
"You're so cute today, honey!"
"Hmph!"
"But, Holy Maiden Aeliana is still right there."
"Let her watch."
"You're really bold, honey..."
First Sylvia took the initiative, then Timothy, and then it switched back...
"Mmm."
"..."
"Hey, consider my feelings here!"
Tied to the tree, Holy Maiden Aeliana felt like the overwhelming display of PDA was about to burst her stomach.
No matter how much she shouted, she could only realize that her voice was completely ineffective. Instead of stopping, the lovebirds only became more passionate.
Holy Maiden Aeliana could swear that across the entire world, no one had been subjected to as much PDA as she had today.
And who could forget, she had been single for eight hundred years!
"Why am I the only one getting hurt!"
Watching the two figures on the lawn, Holy Maiden Aeliana felt like crying but had no tears.
...
"Why, why does the goddess protect him!"
Outside Blooming Sanctuary, Nolan's eyes were bloodshot, his anger and murderous intent almost materializing into a tangible red mist.
Chancellor Neville quickly consoled him, "Prince, do not worry, perhaps the goddess is merely upholding the dignity of Sky Sanctuary. Timothy, despite his talents, is just an ordinary disciple after all. The goddess's feelings for him are surely different from those she has for you, there can't be any special affection."
"Hmph, even so, it's absolutely unacceptable. The object of the goddess's attention can only be me alone. As for others, they must all die. Especially this Timothy—I must kill him with the most brutal means!"
Nolan's voice was nearly hysterical, far from the genteel and amiable demeanor he displayed in front of the sacred land's crowd.
Chancellor Neville was startled and quickly tried to intervene.
But as he turned his head, he saw a relentless surge of blood-red aura emanating from Nolan.
Blood-red patterns spread across his limbs, creeping up his neck to his head.
In an instant, even Nolan's eyes were filled with crimson bloodlines.
These bloodlines were thick with an intense aura of slaughter!
"This is the power of slaughter!" Chancellor Neville couldn't help but widen his eyes in disbelief.
Just through words alone, the prince had grasped yet another power!
The Enlightenment Body was truly terrifying!
...
As the grand festival at Blooming Sanctuary came to an end, the many forces that had attended began to depart.
This festival had fully showcased the profound and mysterious heritage of Blooming Sanctuary, one of the oldest of the eight sacred lands.
Most attendees came with respect and left satisfied.
Not only did they experience the grand banquet of Blooming Sanctuary, but they also took this opportunity to establish connections with various other sects and schools.
However, the news of Goddess Sylvia slaying Thunder Sage also quickly spread everywhere.
"Sylvia, have a safe journey, and remember you can always come to me if you need anything."
Leading the people of the sacred land, Holy Maiden Aeliana bid farewell in front of the slowly ascending Sky Sanctuary's Arcane Airship.
Although she still tried to maintain the holy image of the Holy Maiden on the surface, she couldn't express how frustrated she felt inside.
Over the years, Holy Maiden Aeliana had witnessed countless acts of PDA, but the sheer amount she saw in just one day was more than she'd encountered in her entire eight hundred years of life!
Even though she felt empty inside, it was as if she was completely filled with dog food.
Sylvia and Timothy stepped onto the Arcane Airship one after the other.
Watching this scene, the female disciples behind Holy Maiden Aeliana couldn't help but feel a stir in their hearts: "Why do I suddenly feel like Goddess Sylvia and Timothy seem kind of compatible?"
"That moment just now, I felt it too, but it must be an illusion..."
"Of course, with Goddess Sylvia's status and personality, such a thing is absolutely impossible. Maybe, I still have a chance!"
"Right, Brother Timothy is still single. If I make my move in time, there's definitely a possibility!"
"Get out of here, you daydreamers. I've been devoted to Brother Timothy all along. If there's a chance, it should be mine."
"Aren't you the same? It should be me!"
"It's me!"
"It's me!"
"Damn it, Brother Timothy is mine, I'll fight you for him!"
"Who's afraid of who? If you disagree, let's fight it out. Whoever wins gets Brother Timothy!"
"Fine, let's fight now. Whoever backs down is a coward!"
"..."
The Arcane Airship started up, powered by Sylvia's formidable spiritual energy, and the mountains and rivers passed by in an instant.
Before long, the Arcane Airship, carrying the disciples, returned to Sky Sanctuary.
The grand festival at Blooming Sanctuary was indeed a spectacle that captured the attention of many.
The disciples who couldn't attend eagerly approached those who had, bombarding them with questions about what had transpired at the event.
However, they soon received some unsettling news.
Lucian of Thunderflame Valley, a once-in-a-generation prodigy, along with Thunder Sage, one completely crippled and the other slain by a single sword strike.
While the news was thrilling and made their blood boil with a sense of righteous satisfaction, the consequences...
"Nowadays, Sky Sanctuary isn't what it used to be. What can the three Holy Emperors do together? With Goddess Sylvia and Timothy here, it's not yet clear who will defeat whom this time!" a disciple suddenly exclaimed excitedly.
"Yeah, the grudge from when the three Holy Emperors attacked Goddess Sylvia hasn't been settled yet. Those old guys definitely can't be let off the hook!"
"Brother Timothy did the right thing, stop saying useless stuff, just shout 'Brother Timothy is awesome' and that's it!"
"Brother Timothy is awesome! Brother Timothy is invincible!"
"Brother Timothy is awesome!"
"..."
