Chapter 242: You’re still supposed to be recovering…

Timothy handed over the captured Sea Serpent girl to Azura, who was tasked with taking her back to Blooming Hall. With renewed determination, Timothy headed back to Sky Sanctuary.After all, the shorter the time the Dragon's Roar Supreme Vitality Pill is left unused, the stronger its effects and potency.

It was time to reclaim the dignity he had lost in front of the goddess!

As Timothy returned to Sky Sanctuary, he quickly noticed a large number of practitioners leaving the sanctuary, flying back to their respective sects.

The sheer size of the crowd made it clear that many sects had gathered here.

"What's going on?" Timothy wondered aloud as he landed on the ground, just in time to run into Elder Turner.

"I remember you left before me. Why are you back so late?" Elder Turner asked, curious, but quickly answered his own question. "Goddess Sylvia just held a meeting. She announced two major things to the sects that are loyal to Sky Sanctuary and to the other powers across the land."

"What were the two things?" Timothy asked, recalling how the practitioners he had passed earlier seemed unusually serious, as if something was weighing heavily on their minds.

The fact that so many sects had gathered at once suggested that something big was indeed happening.

Elder Turner's expression grew a bit uneasy. "The first thing the goddess mentioned was about the Sepulcher of the Sacred.

The reason Holy Emperor Featherwind and Holy Emperor Mountainshade were able to summon a corpse and even push it to the early Ascension Phase is likely because something has gone wrong within the Sepulcher of the Sacred.

Goddess Sylvia has already ordered Sky Sanctuary to begin preparations to enter the Sepulcher."

Timothy glanced over at the forge, where flames flickered brightly. He had noticed earlier that several skilled blacksmiths were hard at work crafting armor.

The Sepulcher of the Sacred, where countless Holy Emperors were buried, was indeed a matter of great concern for the entire world.

"And the second thing?" Timothy asked.

"Uh… well…" Elder Turner hesitated, looking a bit embarrassed. "The second thing the goddess mentioned was that she might announce something big today."

Timothy: "…"

So, the goddess was just teasing them? Sёarᴄh the NovelFire.net* website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

"But… something big, huh?" Timothy thought for a moment, then couldn't help but smile.

The goddess had been so secretive that even the disciples and elders of Sky Sanctuary couldn't figure out what she was planning. But Timothy knew exactly what it was.

First, his wife had kissed him, and then he had carried the goddess back to her chambers. By now, many people had probably started to piece things together.

The goddess wasn't trying to hide it anymore. All that was left was to make it official.

"Wait, Timothy, do you know something?" Elder Turner asked, noticing the smile on Timothy's face.

"Just wait for the goddess to announce it herself," Timothy said, patting Elder Turner on the shoulder with a knowing look. "Didn't you say you wanted me to teach you some advanced relationship techniques? Maybe I'll tell you later."

With that, Timothy walked off toward the goddess's chambers, leaving Elder Turner standing there, more confused than ever.

Inside the chambers, Sylvia, having dealt with numerous matters, was feeling a bit tired.

Finally finding a moment of peace, she leaned against the window and let out a soft, melancholic sigh.

Her graceful figure moved toward the bed, her light blue gown flowing elegantly as she sat down. The dress highlighted her stunning beauty, while also giving off an air of untouchable coldness.

Just then, she noticed a familiar figure approaching the chambers from outside.

"You're back already?"

In an instant, the weariness on Sylvia's stunning face vanished. She looked at Timothy with a soft smile, though this smile carried a different feeling than usual.

"I thought you wouldn't dare come to my chambers anymore. Looks like I've got the upper hand this time."

She covered her mouth and giggled, a playful and self-satisfied glint in her eyes.

After all, it wasn't easy to find a weakness in Timothy, the "bad guy" who had teased her more than once.

"What are you planning, Goddess?" Timothy played along, feigning panic as if he was about to retreat.

The dynamic between them had completely flipped. Sylvia blinked in surprise—this was the first time she'd seen Timothy look so flustered.

Could it be? Had she really found his weak spot?

As the mighty Goddess Sylvia, she had been on the receiving end of Timothy's teasing more than once. But this time…

A mischievous smile, quite unlike her usual cool demeanor, crept onto her lips. Even though saying such things made her feel a bit shy, still…

"With such a beautiful night, and such a lovely person by your side, don't you have… other things on your mind?"

Her smile turned more seductive as she lightly flicked the hem of her dress. The thin blue fabric clung to her body, tracing every curve—perfectly accentuating her figure.

Every dip and rise was flawless, and the proportions were… well, let's just say they were more than generous.

Paired with her breathtaking face, even with that hint of coldness, she was so beautiful it was almost otherworldly.

Timothy, fully committed to his act, looked even more panicked. He gasped dramatically, "Wife, I was just passing by to check on you. Pretend I was never here—I'll be on my way."

He turned as if to leave in a hurry.

"Oh no, you're not getting away that easily after coming to my chambers."

Sylvia's aura flared with the power of a Holy Emperor, and she effortlessly pulled Timothy back, pinning him onto the bed without hesitation.

"Did you forget how you used to bully me? This time, I'm going to get my payback."

Under the soft candlelight, a blush crept across Sylvia's flawless face. With a playful smile, she held Timothy down on the bed.

"I'm still feeling a bit weak. Can't you let me off the hook?" Timothy pleaded.

"Nope!"

"This could kill me!"

"Then I'll be gentle."

"Since when are women gentle with men?"

"Doesn't matter. I just want you to stay with me."

Sylvia was brimming with confidence, showing no intention of letting the flustered Timothy off the hook. Under the flickering candlelight, her lips slowly inched closer to his.

Through the slightly open neckline of her dress, Timothy could see the smooth, porcelain-like skin beneath.

"Well, well, I have to hand it to you, wife. But don't get too cocky just yet." Suddenly, Timothy's voice took on a different tone.

"Huh?" Sylvia blinked, sensing something was off.

Timothy's demeanor had completely changed from just a moment ago!

But wasn't he still recovering from his recent weakness?

Sylvia, having been tricked by Timothy more than once, suddenly felt a pang of unease. Realizing something was wrong, she tried to pull away.

But it was too late.

Timothy's hand shot out, grabbing her delicate wrist. With a swift motion, he flipped them over, reversing their positions.

"You're still supposed to be recovering…" Sylvia's voice trailed off, her face paling slightly.

She watched in shock as Timothy swallowed a golden pill.

It was none other than the legendary eighth-tier elixir—the Dragon's Roar Supreme Vitality Pill!
