Hephis had been lying obediently in Duotu's arms. Suddenly, he looked up in one direction, tears welled up in his eyes, and he shouted excitedly, "Mother..."

The child had always been a relatively quiet person, and even Duotu had rarely seen him lose control like this. But when he saw the figure approaching, his whole body stiffened, his breathing trembled, and he was even more out of control than his son.

The little lion did not notice his father's reaction, but as soon as his father's arm loosened, it jumped from his arms to the ground, staring straight at Sang Luo who was squatting down with a smile, as if trying to determine whether what was happening was a dream or reality.

It had always thought that it was its mother that it had dreamed of, but it never expected that its mother was actually still alive.

It should have rushed into its mother's arms, but it hesitated and dared not move forward.

The king beast cubs grow slowly. Hephis looks young and childish, but he is almost seven years old and understands many things - he is worried that his mother doesn't like him.

Sang Luo felt even more distressed when she saw the little lion in this state. The little doll she had casually carved had been kept by the child for so many years, so she knew how much the little lion longed for maternal love and wanted to see her.

"Luoluo..." Duotu stared at her blankly, his eyes slowly turned red, and he didn't dare to take a step forward.

Sang Luo didn't look at him, but opened her arms to the little lion, "Good son, come to mother."

The little lion immediately jumped into her arms, rubbing against her chest, and choked up, "Mom, I miss you so much. This time I really mean it, mom, right?"

"Yeah, it's true. It couldn't be more true. Mommy will always be with you from now on." Sang Luo kissed its furry face.

Duotu watched the interaction between the mother and son, his breathing slowly relaxed, and he didn't dare to go forward to disturb them.

Sang Luo stood up holding her son, "There are many fun places in the temple. Can I take you there?"

"Okay!" The child's voice was clear and crisp, and the child immediately forgot about his father.

"I'm going to take the kids out to play for a while. You two can talk if you have anything to say." Sang Luo said to Minos.

Minos nodded, "Go, don't come back too late."

Duotu didn't say a word, his eyes were fixed on her face, unwilling to move away even a little.

Sang Luo didn't care about him and just left with the child.

Duotu's heart tightened. He was about to chase after her, but stopped abruptly, bewildered, "She, she wants the child back?"

"If she wanted to take him away, she would have taken him away a long time ago." Minos looked at Duotu who was in a trance and invited him into the palace for a chat. "Your Majesty, you can have some tea and wait."

Duotu looked at the elegant and gentle young man in front of him, knowing that he was the legendary Holy Son, who would soon succeed to the throne as the Holy Lord. He forced a smile and said, "Your Majesty, you are too polite. Last time, I was rude."

"It's okay." Minos chuckled. "Speaking of which, you and I are related by blood. I should call you my cousin."

“…I don’t deserve it.”

Duotu is not an angel, and he knows very well that the proud pure-blooded angels look down on people like him. He knows that he is not worthy of being called a brother by the Son of God.

Minos said nothing more.

The two entered the hall and discussed some things. Minos handed Duotu a book, which was a parenting manual he had compiled in the past few days. It recorded the precautions for raising angel cubs, and also listed the natural treasures that were useful for the growth and development of angel cubs. Most of the ingredients could be found in the sacred realm and the beast world, so Duotu could raise the child more conveniently.

Duotu took it solemnly, "Thank you, Saint."

Minos, "It's okay. I just tidied it up in advance for the sake of my child."

Duotu was speechless, his heart aching. He realized that he had missed too much... too much...

Minos told him some more things. Duotu was sometimes absent-minded and kept looking out the door, worried that Sang Luo would never come back with the child.

Fortunately, he didn't stay nervous for too long. More than an hour later, Sang Luo came back with the child in his arms.

The little lion had a lot of fun playing outside and got a lot of mud on his body. He accidentally bumped into a tree while flying. Sang Luo gave him a bath, which took a little time. His hair was fluffy and soft as if he had just been baked. It reflected golden light under the sun and looked very beautiful.

Sang Luo put the little lion on the ground and let her go find her father.

Hefeisi took a few steps towards the excited Duotu, then ran back and rubbed Sangluo's legs, feeling a little uneasy, "Mother, will I see you again in the future?"

Sang Luo squatted down, touched its head, and smiled gently, "You should go back with your father first. Have you forgotten what your mother promised you? She will visit you often. We high-fived each other."

Hephes was relieved.

Sensing that complex and burning gaze that had been falling on him, Sang Luo sighed and patted the little lion's head again, "You must be tired from playing, and you must be hungry. Go with Uncle Angel and let him take you to eat something delicious."

She said to Minos, "You take the child somewhere else for a while. I will stay here and have something to say to Dotu."

Minos nodded and left with the little lion.

For a moment, there were only two people left in the hall.

They looked at each other in silence, and the air was silent.

"Luoluo, long time no see." After a long while, Duotu spoke first, his voice low and dry, "Seven years."

It's been almost seven years since he lost her.

"Yes, it's been seven years." Sang Luo looked at Duotu coldly. She didn't want to have anything to do with him. It would be best if she just treated him as a stranger, but after all, they had a child together.

As long as the child is still there, she and he will always have this relationship, and there is no need to make a fuss about never seeing each other again in this life.

She also couldn't bear to let the little lion lose its mother's love for the rest of its life.

Duotu shouldn't let his son bear the consequences of his wrongdoings.

Duotu's eyes had long been red, tears were rolling down his face, his voice was hoarse and broken, "You are still alive, why haven't you come back in all these years?"

Sang Luo raised her eyebrows teasingly, and said bluntly, "I have so many excellent and powerful beast husbands, why would I think of you? To be honest, if it weren't for Hephis, I would have almost forgotten that there is such a person as you."

Although Quan Jin escaped death and finally saved his life, his former physical body was severely injured and destroyed, and now he can only survive in the form of a demon. His eldest daughter's life or death is still unknown. All this was caused by Duotu, and she will not have any soft feelings for him.

"Yes, I am indeed not worthy of your concern. I am very happy that you are still willing to see me now..."

They looked at each other in silence again.

Neither of them spoke, and they didn't seem to know what to say.

Duotu took two steps towards her and held out his hand. "Luoluo, I don't expect you to forgive me, but the child is innocent and needs a childhood full of love from both his parents. Can you... give me another chance and raise the child with me?"

"Let's forget everything that happened before and try to start over, okay? I will make up for the mistakes I made in the past..."
