The High Priest looked at her adorable, pouting expression and felt his heart soften despite his anger.
He let out a long sigh, his red eyes losing some of their sharp edges. "Okay, don’t scream," he said in a low voice.
He carefully adjusted his hold and helped her lie down on the large, soft bed. "You should take a rest," he said, his voice returning to a calmer tone. "I will go and handle the situation outside."
When he mentioned the situation outside, his expression changed instantly. The gentleness that had been there just moments ago vanished.
His eyes turned cold and sharp again as he thought about the thousands of Orcs currently losing their minds over her. Yue Yue looked at him but didn’t say anything.
She just nodded her head obediently. In her mind, she was thinking, Yes, please go! She is already too overwhelmed.
Looking at her obedient appearance, the High Priest’s expression calmed down once more. He liked it when she was submissive to him. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com
He leaned over her one last time with a look of warning. "Stay here. Do not go out until I say so. Someone will bring your meals to this room shortly, okay?"
Yue Yue nodded again, looking like a good little girl.
"If you want to move around," he added, "you are not allowed to leave the Inner Sanctum without my permission at all. If you feel bored and want to roam, you must stay within the temple grounds with Wei Han. He will be able to protect you."
With that final warning, he turned around and walked out of the room. The heavy doors clicked shut, leaving Yue Yue alone in the quiet luxury of the inner sanctum.
The moment she heard his footsteps fade away, Yue Yue let out a massive sigh of relief.
The tension left her body all at once. She sat up for a second to make sure he was really gone, then fell back onto the soft pillows with a groan.
"Today was really a hard day," she muttered to herself. Her brain was exhausted from the testing, the riot, the Prince, and the High Priest’s aura. She felt like she had lived through an entire year in just one morning.
She clutched her stomach, feeling the slight weight of the egg. "We survived, little one," she whispered. "Now let’s just get some sleep while the high priest is busy fighting off the rest of the world."
Before she could even think about a plan for the next day, her eyes grew heavy. Within minutes, the comfort of the bed and the silence of the room took over, and she fell into a deep, dreamless sleep.
When the High Priest stepped out of the Inner Sanctum and walked back into the main area of the temple, the atmosphere was completely different.
The chaos had been silenced. All the rebellious Orcs who had tried to storm the stage were now pinned to the ground or held firmly by the temple guards.
As Feng Yanshen approached, the wild madness that had taken over their minds finally began to fade. Rationality returned to them, and they realized with a cold shiver what they had actually done.
They looked at the High Priest with fearful expressions. Moments ago, they were acting like crazed beasts, thinking only of getting close to the S+++ female to save their own futures.
Now, they realized they had made a mistake so big it would likely lead to their demise. They would have been crying in joy if the High Priest just let them leave with a slap on the face, but they knew that was impossible.
In this empire, the greatest sin was to harm or even threaten a female. Even though they hadn’t physically touched Yue Yue, the massive ruckus they caused was more than enough to seal their fate. Their punishment could never be small.
As Feng Yanshen stopped before them, every single Orc immediately bowed as low as they could, their foreheads touching the cold marble floor. They were ashamed and terrified. They couldn’t believe they had behaved like enraged beasts in such a holy place.
Feng Yanshen looked down at them with a cold sneer hidden behind his calm face. He was back to his composed, holy figure with the white silk blindfold wrapped around his eyes.
Looking at him now, no one would ever guess that just minutes ago, he was a jealous man ready to kill them all because they dared to lay their filthy eyes on his female.
To the world, he was the voice of the Beast God; to these criminals, he was the executioner.
His voice rang out, cold and clear, cutting through the whimpers of the men. "Send them all to the Prison Star."
The moment those words left his mouth, the expressions of everyone in the hall changed to pure horror.
The Prison Star was the most dangerous place in the universe. If someone was sent there, coming back was considered impossible.
There was only one mecha that ever traveled there, and it followed the strict rules of the Temple and the Four Kings. It was a one-way trip used only to drop off criminals who had committed the most unforgivable sins.
All kinds of murderers, traitors, and monsters were exiled there. Whether a person could survive a single day depended entirely on their own strength and luck. It was literally a living hell.
"No! Please, High Priest! Have mercy!" the Orcs began to plead, their voices cracking with desperation. "We were lost in our instincts! We didn’t mean to disrespect the Temple!"
But Feng Yanshen’s expression did not budge for a second. He looked at them with a calm, flat expression.
There wasn’t a twinkle of guilt or a spark of mercy on his face. To him, their lives meant nothing. They were just insects who had tried to touch his treasure, and clearing them away was as simple as cleaning dust off a table.
The Orcs began to cry and beg even harder.
They knew they had just received a punishment that was actually worse than a quick death.
