Chapter 87: I... I'm coming in
Timothy paused for a moment, "Goddess, are you really inviting me to your private chambers as a reward?"
"Do I need to spell it out for you?" Sylvia pointed at her clothes, then quickly averted her gaze, clearly a bit nervous.
"Pointing at your clothes, and it's not just a verbal reward this time... Could it be!" In an instant, Timothy felt his breathing become hotter, and he had to suppress the excitement in his heart: "I understand, Sylvia. I'll go to your chambers and wait for you."
With that, he hurried out of the great hall.
Azura quickly followed in a panic: "Wait for me, master, you can't just leave me behind."
Timothy didn't stop: "I have important matters to attend to, you're just a kid, wait outside."
"But I heard from the old dragon at the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon that a girl's private room should never be casually entered by men. Why would the goddess allow you into her chambers?" Azura was even more puzzled, having had few interactions with humans.
But she always felt that the relationship between Timothy and Goddess Sylvia was somewhat strange.
"This..." Suddenly, Timothy bent down, looking into Azura's shining eyes: "The old dragon from your Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon is not wrong, but Goddess Sylvia is different."
"Goddess Sylvia is different?"
"That's right."
Timothy nodded, his eyes seemingly filled with immense emotion: "The goddess, in order to teach me the profound truths about the origin of life, has summoned me to her chambers. She's willing to sacrifice her own image to help me gain enlightenment. Her greatness is something that only inspires reverence and emotion. So, please, don't tell anyone about this."
"The goddess is so great! I understand, I will definitely not speak of this." Hearing this, Azura's eyes sparkled, and her heart suddenly surged. Initially, she felt more fear than anything else towards Sylvia, a powerful human.
But now, feelings of admiration and emotion were also filling her heart. The powerful Goddess Sylvia could definitely be a role model for her.
"I understand."
Azura's gaze gradually became resolute: "I will also learn from Goddess Sylvia in the future, to become as strong as her and to dedicate myself. When I return to the Shrine of the Oceanic Dragon, I'll summon you to my room too."
"Let's not." Timothy immediately refused without any hesitation.
"Why? You're going to the goddess's chambers!" Azura felt she was being treated unfairly.
"Nonsense, you're still so young."
"I'm two hundred years old!"
"But you're small."
"Who says so? I can still transform into a different form, you know. Don't believe me? I can show you a more mature form right now." Azura huffed, clearly dissatisfied.
Timothy was taken aback: "You can change forms?"
"Of course, all the dragon kings of past generations could maintain two forms, and I just chose one big and one small. How about that, impressive, right?" Azura proudly lifted her head, a slight smile on her lips.
"Impressive." Timothy gave a thumbs up.
No wonder they say no dragon king is easy to deal with. Who could handle this?
But...
Timothy tapped Azura's little head lightly: "Keep this secret to yourself, and don't just tell any bad uncle. Otherwise..."
Timothy made a scary face, startling Azura.
After that, he clapped his hands, leaving Azura behind, and headed straight for the chambers.
Inside the chambers, the decor was quite simple.
Most of the colors were pure white, with only the bed canopy carrying a hint of translucent light pink.
A faint mist floated in the chambers, as if filled with an ethereal aura.
Even just breathing normally, Timothy could distinctly smell a hint of fragrance in the air.
It wasn't overpowering but subtle and elegant, like a delicate orchid that refreshes the soul, intoxicating him completely.
Timothy sat down beside Sylvia's bed, the soft scent from the bedding making his heart race a bit faster.
Recalling Sylvia shyly pointing at her clothes, Timothy's breathing became slightly rapid.
"Could it be, my wife has finally come around! After waiting so long, is the moment finally here!"
Just then, Timothy caught a glimpse of a corner of a paper peeking out from under the pristine pillow.
"What's this?" He leaned in, gently pulling it out.
Hidden carefully under the pillow were two letters, both from him!
One was the love letter he had personally delivered to the Sky Sanctuary.
The other was a letter he had written before heading to the secret realm of the three legendary Holy Emperors, ending with "Dear Sylvia ~".
"Wow, wife, I didn't know you were like this." Looking at the two letters, carefully preserved yet clearly much perused, Timothy couldn't help but marvel.
After all, who would have thought that the mighty Goddess Sylvia would secretly pull out love letters from under her pillow every night, read them delightfully, and then drift off to sleep?
As he admired the fragrant letters, Timothy suddenly heard very faint footsteps approaching slowly using his "Whispering Ear" ability.
Goddess Sylvia was coming!
Timothy quickly placed the letters back under the pillow and sat up straight.
But the footsteps stopped abruptly outside the chamber, and then a melodious yet shy voice came from outside: "I've changed into the clothes that you men like. You, you better not laugh when you see me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being merciless!"
Her voice was tender and slightly intoxicating with shyness, and more importantly...
"Clothes that men like!"
Timothy's brain nearly exploded.
He had never expected Sylvia to actually fulfill the reward!
And, clothes that men like.
Could it be!
Timothy felt a rush of heat surge through his nose.
Black stockings, white stockings, or...
No, this isn't Earth, those things couldn't possibly exist here.
So what exactly are these "clothes that men like"?
Timothy's brain raced, conjuring various images.
If it's something that all men like, could it be, could it really be...
Nothing!
At this moment, less is more, could it really be as he imagined!
"Holy smokes, holy smokes!"
A stream of blood flowed straight from Timothy's nose.
[System alert: Host has sustained internal injuries and spiritual instability. The system has detected that the host is under an extremely severe attack, nearing a critical state, extremely dangerous. Would you like to spend one hundred skill points to activate the Invincible Defense System to carve a path of survival for the host?]
"Carve a path your sister!"
But this really could be deadly!
"I... I'm coming in."
Just then, a trembling voice came from outside the chamber.
Then, that graceful figure slowly walked in.
When Timothy saw Sylvia clearly, he was stunned.
