Chapter 86: The chambers? A reward?
"Timothy, I can't believe you're this kind of person."
"Timothy, how could you do this to a little girl? My faith in you is shattered!"
"Ew, Timothy, how could you bear to ride...?"
Seeing the petite and pitiful Azura, everyone couldn't help but feel a wave of sympathy.
The looks they gave Timothy were filled with disgust, disbelief, and sorrow.
"Damn, you guys are kind of criminal with your words! I did ride her... ugh, but it's not what you think!"
Timothy tried his best to explain, but he realized the disciples' gazes hadn't changed at all, and many of the female disciples even stepped back trembling.
"You're forcing my hand here!" Timothy raised his fists, as big as sandbags.
"Timothy, what are you going to do?"
"Timothy, are you planning to kill us to keep us quiet? But we will never forget this!"
"Noggin Knocker Fist!" Timothy shouted, raising his fist and charging at everyone.
Instantly, screams erupted all around.
"Stop hitting, stop! My head isn't that hard."
"If you keep hitting, I'll get a concussion, Timothy, please stop!"
After what seemed like an eternity, many disciples of the Sky Sanctuary were holding their heads, tears in their eyes.
Once he was sure no one would speak nonsense, Timothy finally reined in his power.
After settling scores and hammering so many heads, his enlightenment had significantly improved.
But now, it was time to get back to business.
Timothy led Azura into the heart of Sky Sanctuary: "Goddess Sylvia, I'm back."
Although Azura was with him, Timothy couldn't directly call Sylvia his wife, but his tone was extremely affectionate.
However, as they entered the great hall, Timothy suddenly noticed Sylvia seemed to have hurriedly hidden something.
Then, with a bit of annoyance, she glanced at Azura and then at himself.
"Could my wife be jealous?" Timothy wondered.
But Azura, in her transformed state, was just a little girl,surely, Sylvia wouldn't be jealous of a child.
"Who is this girl?" Sylvia's cool voice rang out.
Timothy replied, "This is Azura, the newly ascended Ocean Dragon King. She was captured by Nolan and trapped in the Dragon Blood Formation, but I rescued her."
"Oh? Azura?" Sylvia's gaze swept over Azura.
Immediately, Azura felt an overwhelming sense of oppression envelop her.
Azura knew that Goddess Sylvia wasn't doing it on purpose,this was the natural aura of an Emperor-level powerhouse, effortlessly emanating from her.
"So this is the strength of a human powerhouse," Azura couldn't help but clench her little fists.
She had heard of Goddess Sylvia's reputation, but she hadn't expected her to be this powerful.
Perhaps, the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon really could be saved.
"You saved her, which means you've also destroyed the Dragon Blood Formation?" Sylvia asked Timothy.
"That's right, I killed Nolan and successfully destroyed the Dragon Blood Formation," Timothy nodded.
"In such a short time... not bad, you've done well. I will reward you," Sylvia was initially surprised, but soon nodded slightly.
Nolan, known as the greatest genius of the age with his Enlightenment Body, had been a formidable opponent.
Although Sylvia had somehow believed Timothy could complete the mission, she hadn't expected it to be so swift.
Timothy suddenly smiled, "By the way, Sylvia, can I make a request?"
"A request? What is it?"
"Of course, it's about the reward.
You always just give me verbal rewards, Goddess. Can we switch it up this time?"
"Something else..." Sylvia's gaze shifted evasively. "No, that's not possible. I only do verbal rewards, nothing else!"
"That's a lie, you definitely have other ways to reward."
"There aren't any!"
"There definitely are!"
"If you keep this up, I won't even give you a verbal reward."
"I don't believe it. You're too kind-hearted to do something so cruel."
"You... you're shameless!"
"Shameless, but only towards you, Goddess."
The back-and-forth between Timothy and Sylvia left Azura dumbfounded.
Being young and not having much contact with humans, she didn't quite understand their customs.
In her mind, Goddess Sylvia was supposed to be supremely aloof and dignified, someone even the old Dragon King would only dare to respect from a distance, never daring to provoke.
Why then did she seem so different around Timothy?
And their interaction seemed to resemble a term taught by an old dragon—flirting.
Azura was puzzled. "Excuse me, Goddess, I'm not very familiar with human customs. Are you and Timothy... flirting?"
"Of course not!"
The moment she spoke, Timothy and Sylvia responded in unison, both shooting a chilling glance her way.
Their combined gaze was so intimidating that Azura felt a chill run down her spine.
"It's nothing, forget I said anything," Azura quickly covered her mouth, too scared to speak another word.
After a moment, Sylvia coughed lightly to ease the awkwardness before finally asking, "But what happened? Why did you bring her to Sky Sanctuary?"
"It's like this..." Timothy quickly explained the situation.
He included the accidental discovery of the Dragon Blood Formation and how, after killing Nolan and freeing Azura, he learned that the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon was under siege and in dire straits.
"The Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon is under attack?" Sylvia's gaze sharpened as she pondered.
Soon, her expression shifted slightly. "I've had some dealings with the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon before, and I knew the previous Ocean Dragon King.
Although they took advantage of the chaos to capture Azura, the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon is much harder to breach than it appears.
So... if they really want to take down the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon, Holy Emperor Thunderflame must send more forces.
There's even a great chance he might go there himself."
Timothy quickly grasped the implications. "You mean..."
"Ambush Holy Emperor Thunderflame. Since he wants to move against Sky Sanctuary, we'll take his life as the price."
Sylvia's voice was cold, and a surge of energy erupted from her, filling Sky Sanctuary with an imposing aura.
Her presence was overwhelming, instilling fear in those around her.
"That's my wife! We should definitely take him down!" Timothy was also filled with fighting spirit, eager to head to the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon and give Holy Emperor Thunderflame, who had once hurt Sylvia, a good beating.
"But if we go too soon, Holy Emperor Thunderflame might not have shown up yet, so..."
Just then, Sylvia's voice turned slightly shy: "So, you should come to my chambers first. I can fulfill my promise and give you your reward."
Looking at Timothy, Sylvia's gaze was bashful.
"The chambers? A reward?
Damn!"
