The next morning, as the first light of dawn broke, Timothy stepped out of the room.He had never slept so soundly before.
As the rumors said, the body of the Holy Emperor indeed emitted a subtle, mysterious aura that resonated with the natural order of the universe.
But unlike those who were content just being near the Holy Emperor, Timothy had spent the entire night holding Goddess Sylvia in his arms.
After being bathed in the Holy Emperor's aura all night, the faint, orchid-like fragrance still lingered in Timothy's nose.
And that wasn't all...
Timothy flexed his fingers and coughed lightly.
With a woman as stunning as Goddess Sylvia sleeping beside him, what man could resist making a move?
Naturally, he had taken the opportunity to get a little handsy with his wife. Although he hadn't managed to push things too far, perhaps because it was Valentine's Day, Sylvia hadn't resisted his advances as much as usual!
Thinking back to the one-of-a-kind, heavenly sensation, Timothy couldn't help but sigh. Last night had been truly wonderful...
And it seemed like his wife's tolerance had increased quite a bit compared to before...
Turning around, Timothy saw Sylvia stepping out of the bedroom, her cheeks slightly flushed.
The moment she saw him, she crossed her arms over her chest, as if afraid Timothy might try something sneaky again.
"Relax, babe. I'm not some kind of animal. We can save that for tonight when we're back in the bedroom…"
Timothy smiled mischievously.
Sylvia, her mind flashing back to the events of the previous night, was both embarrassed and furious. She stepped forward and pinched Timothy's waist, giving it a sharp twist. "Tell me, how much did you take advantage of me while I was asleep last night?"

A pinch from the Holy Emperor was no ordinary pinch. Even Timothy, who was no weakling, gritted his teeth in pain. "Babe, you've got to believe me! I only took a tiny bit of advantage, just a little bit!"
"Hmph, fine."
Sylvia let go, huffing in annoyance.
Seeing her pouty expression, Timothy couldn't help but smile.
As a Holy Emperor-level powerhouse, there was no way Sylvia had been completely unaware of his actions while she slept. She just hadn't bothered to stop him.
Maybe this was what they called "playing hard to get"...
"But, on this trip to Blooming Sanctuary, the Holy Maiden and I discovered something. It seems like Holy Emperor Featherwind is getting ready to make a move."
Timothy's expression grew serious as he recounted the events of their journey to Blooming Sanctuary, though he left out a few details.
After all, there was no way he could mention the part about being bombarded with love letters from female disciples. And it was probably best to keep quiet about Holy Maiden Aeliana falling into the water, too.
"You're saying that Holy Emperor Featherwind has built a floating fortress that can even block other Holy Emperors from entering, and he used the Dragon Blood Formation to destroy one of the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions in Blooming Sanctuary?"
As she listened, Sylvia's expression grew colder.
The Dragon Blood Formation seemed to be getting more and more refined. And since they had already started targeting Blooming Sanctuary, it was likely a sign that they were preparing to go to war with Sky Sanctuary.
It looked like a war between Holy Emperors was just around the corner.
But...
"I don't care how many Holy Emperors they have. If they dare covet Sky Sanctuary, I'll make sure they're wiped from existence."
As Sylvia spoke, a chilling aura radiated from her body.
It was the overwhelming, invisible might of a Holy Emperor!
Even if she had to face two Holy Emperors at once, along with the remnants of Holy Emperor Thunderflame's forces, Sylvia showed no fear.
In fact, she seemed even more determined.
This was Goddess Sylvia—no matter how powerful her enemies were, she would never back down.
"By the way, which of the Blossoms of the Seven Emotions was destroyed in Blooming Sanctuary?" Sylvia suddenly asked.
Timothy replied, "It was the Blossom of Love."
"The Blossom of Love?"
Sylvia's expression shifted slightly.
"I've heard that the Blossom of Love can influence people's emotions, making them intensely crave romance and a partner. S~eaʀᴄh the NôvelFire.nёt website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
Its effects are said to be as potent as the strongest aphrodisiacs.
If that's the case, is there something you're not telling me?"
Sylvia smiled, but there was something off about the smile at the corner of her lips.
It even felt a little... cold.
"Blooming Sanctuary is full of female disciples, and with their level of cultivation, most of them probably couldn't resist the effects of the Blossom of Love.
Even Holy Maiden Aeliana might have been affected.
So, Timothy~," Sylvia's voice took on a teasing tone, "is there something you're hiding from me~?"
"Hiss~"
Seeing Sylvia's narrowed eyes and that subtle smile, Timothy instantly felt a chill run down his spine.
He never expected his wife to be such a sharp detective!
How did she even pick up on this?!
"Ahem, babe, you've got to believe me. I didn't mention Holy Maiden Aeliana falling into the water because I didn't want to cause any misunderstandings…
Wait, no! What I meant was, even though Holy Maiden Aeliana accidentally fell into the water, she still stayed true to her heart…"
Timothy suddenly realized that no matter how he explained it, he was only digging himself deeper.
"The big battle is about to start, and I need to discuss cultivation techniques with the other disciples. You should rest for a bit, babe."
With an awkward cough, Timothy quickly made his escape from the bedroom.
...
In front of Goddess Sylvia's sacred statue, a group of disciples was diligently practicing their cultivation.
The strength of Sky Sanctuary was undeniable, and most of the disciples were elites from all corners of the world.
But the actions of Holy Emperor Featherwind and Holy Emperor Mountainshade were strange and unpredictable. Who knew what secrets they were hiding?
This upcoming battle would be full of uncertainties, and it was impossible to predict how things would unfold.
Hovering above the statue of the goddess, Timothy suddenly erupted with a surge of lightning.
As thunder rumbled, the sky began to darken, and storm clouds slowly gathered.
"Brother Timothy!"
The disciples below looked up in shock, their voices filled with awe.
"According to the latest intelligence, the war with the two Holy Emperors is coming sooner than we expected.
Before that happens, I hope all of you can quickly strengthen yourselves and contribute to the goddess's cause."
Though Timothy's words were brief, they immediately caused a stir.
"The moment we've been waiting for is finally here!"
The memory of the three Holy Emperors joining forces to attack the goddess a hundred years ago was still etched deeply in the hearts of the disciples.
They had all been waiting for the chance to avenge that humiliation.
"For the goddess, let's crush them!"
"Two Holy Emperors? So what? We'll make them pay for what they did!"
The crowd erupted in excitement.
At that moment, Timothy's body surged with even more lightning.
Countless bolts of lightning branched out, following the intricate patterns of Oak Leaf's Path, and connected with each disciple.
Bathed in the lightning, the disciples' auras began to rise rapidly.
With a wave of Timothy's hand, the disciples of Sky Sanctuary, now cloaked in lightning, advanced and retreated in perfect unison.
Covered in the terrifying power of thunder, they looked like an army sent from the heavens.
Their presence was overwhelming, filled with majesty and power.
This battle—Sky Sanctuary was determined to win!
