Chapter 760

"Your Majesty, please forgive me! This slave didn't mean it! Please spare my life, Your Majesty!" Felado was scared out of her wits and immediately knelt on the ground, her full, delicate body trembling slightly due to fear, her voice even carrying a crying tone.

She knew deeply that although these utensils were not priceless, having such a performance in front of Li Chen would definitely lead to punishment.

Li Chen did not get angry immediately, but leaned over and reached out to help her up, his warm fingers even carefully checking if she had been scratched by the fragments first.

This unexpected gentleness made Felado's heart warm, as if a hot current had surged through.

Especially after losing her husband, this was the first time Felado had felt this way.

After confirming she was unharmed, Li Chen let go, his tone carrying a hint of playfulness as he looked at her chest, which was heaving violently due to nervousness, and said slowly: "Since you aren't hurt, however, having done something wrong, if there isn't a little punishment, I'm afraid it will be hard to remember the lesson."

Felado's heart rose again, not knowing what kind of punishment she would face.

However, Li Chen's next move left her completely bewildered.

He directly wrapped his arms around her waist, whispered something in her ear, and half-carried her into the inner bedroom.

That night, Li Chen gave her an extremely severe and in-depth punishment, which didn't end until the sky was slightly bright.

The next day, when Sylph "happened" to come to pay her respects, she saw Felado leaning against the wall, walking staggeringly out of the Holy Palace, her legs clearly weak, almost unable to stand steadily, and a blush that hadn't faded yet on her wheat-colored skin.

Sylph sneered in her heart, but on the surface, she pretended to be innocent and asked with concern: "Aunt Felado, what's wrong with you? Your face is so red, and you can't walk steadily. Was it too hard serving His Majesty last night, and you got hurt?"

Felado heard this, her cheeks instantly exploded in red like a ripe apple, her eyes dodging, and she waved her hands repeatedly with a voice like a mosquito: "No, nothing! I'm fine! Just a bit tired, I'll be fine after a rest."

After speaking, she fled as if escaping, walking quickly away in an awkward posture, leaving Sylph in place with a cunning smile of success on her face.

Felado dragged her exhausted and somewhat strange body, walking staggeringly back to her residence, a small courtyard near the core area with an elegant environment.

Just as she entered the courtyard, her daughter Seratis greeted her.

Seratis also inherited her mother's beauty and dark elf bloodline, with wheat-colored skin, black hair and purple eyes, and a tall figure, carrying a heroic spirit and sharpness rarely seen in her peers between her brows.

She had extremely high talent, and her cultivation was among the best of her peers, but she just hadn't been valued by Li Chen.

When she saw her mother's clearly wrong walking posture, her flushed cheeks, and the spring passion and exhaustion that couldn't be hidden between her brows, she instantly understood what had happened.

A burst of anger rushed to the top of her head. Seratis's willow eyebrows stood up, and she grabbed her mother, her voice carrying uncontrollable anger and heartache: "Mom! Who?! Who bullied you? Tell me, I'll go fight him right now!"

In her mind, the faces of several family elders who had ill intentions toward her mother on weekdays flashed by, and she clenched her fists so hard her knuckles turned white.

She remembered very clearly that before her father accepted that almost certain-death family mission, he had solemnly held her hand and instructed: "Sera, if Dad can't come back, you must take good care of your mom and don't let her be wronged."

She had always kept this sentence in her heart. Seeing her mother being "bullied" at this moment, how could she not be angry?

Felado looked at her daughter's angry appearance, feeling both warm and anxious in her heart.

She knew deeply her daughter's stubborn personality and decent strength. If she didn't explain it clearly, she might really do something impulsive, and the consequences would be unimaginable!
