Herman believed he understood Aurelia well enough.
She was beautiful, with a graceful figure, yet her personality was extremely conservative, forming two extremes with her own charm.
Perhaps the phrase “pure yet alluring” described her best.
When their relationship had not yet broken down, Herman had more than once made certain requests to Aurelia, but each time he was rejected.
Even holding hands was absolutely impossible.
In Aurelia’s eyes, even though they were already engaged, as long as they had not become husband and wife, any physical contact was a desecration of the Goddess.
Therefore, even though Ron and Aurelia were alone together now, there was basically nothing to worry about.
With Aurelia’s personality, she would never do something as unrestrained as giving her body to a man she had known for less than a day.
Thinking this way, Herman felt much more at ease.
But the hollow sense of loss in his chest grew stronger and stronger, as if something important was drifting farther and farther away from him.
Shaking his head forcefully, Herman suppressed the irritation in his heart.
He raised his head to look at the sky.
In fact, with just a bit of thought, it was clear that nothing could happen between Ron and Aurelia… after all, their relationship of more than ten years couldn’t possibly be completely destroyed by a few words.
Ron was ultimately just an outsider.
He believed Aurelia still loved him.
It seemed that Aurelia was simply sulking with him.
Although she appeared close to Ron, it was probably just to make him jealous.
How cunning.
Forget it, forget it.
This time, he would go along with Aurelia’s wishes.
Later, he would buy a bouquet of roses, pick a good day, apologize to her, arrange a date.
As long as his attitude was better, this matter should pass.
Hmph, Ron, Ron—trying to steal a woman from this young master?
Keep dreaming.
When Aurelia returned to his side, he wondered what expression Ron would have.
It would surely be quite entertaining, right?
Thinking of something, Herman began to laugh foolishly: “Heh heh heh…” “Careful… dodge it!” Just as Herman was laughing foolishly, a terrified scream suddenly came from above at an angle.
The sharp voice dragged Herman out of his fantasy.
He instinctively looked up, his face changing abruptly.
Without caring about his posture, he rolled on the spot, tumbling to the side.
Behind Herman was a dye workshop, and above his head was a vat filled with dye falling from a wooden rack.
Even with Herman’s strength, if he were hit by such a vat full of dye, the result would definitely not be good.
He might even be smashed into minced meat.
Watching the vat fall before his eyes, Herman felt proud—luckily, he reacted quickly.
But this pride didn’t last long.
Before Herman could even get up from the ground, the vat smashed down at the spot where he had been standing.
With a loud crack, a large amount of dye splashed in all directions.
Splash!
Who knew how much liquid directly sprayed all over Herman.
From head to toe, everything was sticky.
Green dye covered Herman’s entire body.
Even his vision seemed coated with a layer of emerald green.
“Damn it…” Herman’s good mood shattered instantly as he cursed: “I hate green!” …
Eternal Freedom Sect Branch.
Even the midday sunlight could not dispel the gloom within the branch.
The strange reliefs constantly emitted a suffocating evil.
As a large number of believers left, the place fell into silence… yet this silence was broken by creaking sounds, like a decaying long table swaying across the ground.
Aurelia’s silver hair hung down along the edge of the table.
Sinking!
They forgot time, forgot everything around them, and even forgot where they were.
Right in the hall stood a three-meter-tall statue.
The statue was vividly carved… compared to exquisite, perhaps elegance and charm better suited its aura.
It was the statue of the God of Eternal Freedom!
Half male, half female!
Both masculine and feminine!
The male half was majestic and rugged, while the female half was graceful and enchanting, every part exuding a maddening allure.
The two immersed in pleasure did not notice that the previously rigid statue, the stone-carved eyes within its hollow sockets, seemed to suddenly come alive.
The eyeballs slowly moved, as if trying to cast its gaze upon the two on the table.
This scene carried an indescribable eeriness.
If a third person had been present, they would definitely have screamed in terror.
It was just a statue carved from stone, yet it… had come to life!
The statue had opened its eyes!!!
At almost the same moment, Elsa, the system, lightly separated from Ron.
Like a cold observer, her black-and-white eyes gazed at everything.
She floated up to the beam and sat quietly.
The sounds and sights in the room seemed to have no effect on Elsa at all.
Her face, as beautiful as a goddess, remained serene and indifferent.
Suddenly, Elsa’s eyelids lifted slightly, her black-and-white gaze silently falling upon the statue of the God of Eternal Freedom.
Buzz… In an instant, the marble eyes within the statue’s sockets visibly expanded.
A rich pale purple light emitted from the depths of the sockets, enveloping the entire room in a hazy violet aura.
This process lasted less than a tenth of a second and vanished in an instant.
Ron and Aurelia, lost in pleasure, were completely unaware of the fleeting change.
The statue’s opened eyes slowly closed.
As if everything that had just happened was merely an illusion!
Only the corner of the statue’s mouth seemed to curve slightly.
It… seemed to be smiling!
Immediately after, there was a crisp cracking sound.
A crack appeared on the towering statue, splitting it neatly in half from the forehead to the lower abdomen!
Low growls and sharp cries sounded at that moment.
Aurelia’s body trembled as if struck by electricity.
Ron’s vision went white instantly, as if he had lost all ability to think.
A streak of purplish-black light suddenly shot out from the statue’s male half and merged into Ron’s body.
From the statue’s female half, a faint pink light quietly entered Aurelia’s lower abdomen.
A heart-shaped mark with small wings gradually appeared on her fair skin.
After a few seconds, the mark slowly faded and completely sank into her body.
Whoosh!
In the tightly sealed hall, a gust of cold wind seemed to pass through.
Immediately after came a rustling sound.
The statue split into two halves silently began to weather, turning into fine sand and drifting away with the wind!
