Becoming the Demon Lord: Taming the Demon Queen Begins

But what they saw left them utterly stunned.

The Holy Maiden Aeliana, who had always been seen as sacred and untouchable, was now lying by the stream, her new dress soaked at the hem by the water.

More strikingly, her beautiful, flower-like face was tinged with a faint blush, making her look incredibly shy.

The two were completely dumbfounded.

What on earth had happened between Holy Maiden and Timothy?!

"Holy Maiden, did you and Timothy…?" Vera\'s face went pale, and even her lips trembled slightly.

But just as she spoke, she suddenly felt a petal brush against her neck, leaving a thin cut.

"Heh, nothing happened, Holy Maiden. I must have guessed wrong."

In an instant, Vera clammed up, not daring to say another word.

Holy Maiden Aeliana, still a bit unsteady, stood up, the blush on her cheeks not yet fading.

She never expected to be caught off guard by Timothy like this.

"Damn it, I\'ll definitely get back at him!"

Glaring at Timothy with a mix of shame and anger, Holy Maiden Aeliana let out a soft huff.

As a Holy Emperor-level powerhouse, how could she not be able to handle Timothy?

If Sylvia could do it, so could she!

"Just you wait!"

Holy Maiden Aeliana turned her head slightly, a hint of smugness in her expression.

In her mind, she had already come up with a foolproof plan.

With this plan, even Timothy wouldn\'t be able to resist!

"By the way, Holy Maiden, as the leader of the Blooming Sanctuary, why did those Unicorns attack you too?" Timothy suddenly asked as he walked up to Holy Maiden Aeliana.

"And you still have the nerve to talk to me?"

Holy Maiden Aeliana pouted slightly, showing a trace of displeasure.

"Of course," Timothy replied with a grin. "You never hold grudges anyway. Every time my wife spanks you, you\'re back to being friends the next day. Why would you hold a grudge against me?"

"Who says I don\'t hold grudges?!"

She instinctively retorted, only to realize that Timothy seemed to be complimenting her.

And… he was praising her noble character.

"Hmph, don\'t think that just because you\'re flattering me, I\'ll let you off the hook. What happened earlier isn\'t over yet!"

Though she said this, the corners of Holy Maiden Aeliana\'s mouth couldn\'t help but lift slightly.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally answered Timothy, "The Blossoms of the Seven Emotions are the most important treasure in the Blooming Sanctuary. The seven flowers, each symbolizing a different emotion, not only protect against external threats but also help future generations of the Blooming Sanctuary comprehend the supreme teachings of our ancestors.

However, because the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions have such a strong influence on emotions, over the years, the Unicorns guarding them have gradually altered their original duty, treating the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions as their master.

As a result, not only outsiders but even those within the Blooming Sanctuary, including the Holy Maidens of past generations, find it difficult to approach them."

"In that case, how could someone manage to damage the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions?" Timothy frowned, realizing something was seriously wrong.

Holy Maiden Aeliana was right there in the Blooming Sanctuary, so sneaking into the sacred grounds under the watch of a Holy Emperor like her was impossible.

But the fact that someone could damage the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions from outside the Blooming Sanctuary was downright eerie.

"Let me take a closer look."

Timothy walked to the edge of the cliff, his eyes flashing with a golden light as he activated his Soulborn Eye, scanning the area around the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions.

In the air surrounding the Blossoms, he noticed a faint trace of blood—something almost imperceptible.

Without the Soulborn Eye, no one would have been able to detect this trace of blood.

[Ding, system analysis in progress.]

[This trace of blood originates from the Dragon Blood Formation.]

"Dragon Blood Formation? So it was those two old geezers causing trouble. System, help me track it."

[Ding, command accepted.]

[Tracking in progress.]

[Tracking the source of the Dragon Blood Formation.]

[Estimated time: 12-20 hours.]

...

Timothy shifted his gaze away, the golden glow of the Soulborn Eye fading.

"Is that all?" Holy Maiden Aeliana asked, a bit puzzled.

After all, even she wasn\'t fully aware of the capabilities of the ancient artifact known as the Soulborn Eye.

"Yeah," Timothy nodded. "By tonight or tomorrow, I should have an answer for you."

Still somewhat skeptical, Holy Maiden Aeliana sealed off the area around the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions and left the site.

Holy Maiden Aeliana and Timothy made their way out of the canyon.

As soon as the female disciples outside saw Holy Maiden Aeliana, and especially Timothy, their expressions changed instantly.

Without the influence of the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions, they had returned to normal.

But recalling the absurd things they had done just moments ago, the female disciples wished they could find a hole to crawl into.

Because of the Blossoms\' influence, they remembered greedily throwing themselves at Timothy and saying all those embarrassing things…

If Holy Maiden hadn\'t intervened, they couldn\'t even imagine what might have happened!

"Timothy, hello…"

"Timothy, hello."

Facing Timothy, the female disciples of the Blooming Sanctuary each gave a slight nod, their cheeks flushed, unable to meet his gaze.

"Ahem, Timothy, since you\'ve come all the way to the Blooming Sanctuary, why don\'t you share some of your cultivation insights with these disciples? It might broaden their perspectives a bit," Vera, the Saintess, suggested, seemingly trying to ease the awkwardness as she approached Timothy.

"Sure, why not? If anyone has any questions, feel free to ask," Timothy agreed, looking at the group of female disciples.

There was a moment of silence, with no one daring to speak.

Finally, one of them timidly asked, "Brother Timothy, we\'re curious about Goddess Sylvia. To us, Goddess Sylvia has always been this untouchable, aloof, and supreme figure. Even though we\'ve wanted to know more about her, we\'ve never had the chance to get close, let alone dare to offend her. Brother Timothy, you seem to be quite close to Goddess Sylvia. Could you tell us a bit about her?"

"You\'re all curious about that?"

The popularity of his wife was truly off the charts.

Timothy chuckled, genuinely intrigued.

"Alright, since you\'re interested, I\'ll share a few things about Goddess Sylvia. But I don\'t know much—just a little bit."

"Thank you, Brother Timothy!"

Instantly, the female disciples of the Blooming Sanctuary erupted in excitement.

Their eager eyes were all fixed on Timothy.

After all, this was Goddess Sylvia they were talking about!

Mysterious, proud, and a figure so exalted that they had never even dreamed of getting close to her!
