Imu's Third Reward!

Imu wore a loose, pure-white robe, his feet resting on a soft black-and-white rug.

He lounged casually on a crimson sofa patterned with golden trim, silently reading the medical arts written by Doctor Kureha.

This reception hall covered roughly four hundred square meters.

Yet it contained very little furniture or decoration, making it feel spacious while retaining an elegant, minimalist air.

Several golden-red lotuses bloomed at the center of the silver-white space.

"Lord Imu, Saint Longinus is waiting outside the hall."

Ubuyashiki Kanata, dressed in a purple kimono with a Wisteria Flower ornament in her short black hair, quietly entered and reported in a gentle voice.

Come to think of it, she was already ten years old.

Her eldest sister Hina and second sister Hinaka were already twelve, having grown a little taller and lost some of the childishness from their faces.

"Mm. Let him in."

"Yes."

Having received the order, Ubuyashiki Kanata turned and left in her wooden sandals.

Not long afterward, she returned with a slight bow, leading in a red-haired young man standing one meter eighty tall and carrying a long sword in a crimson sheath on his back.

Imu slightly raised his eyes.

His golden pupils, rippling with concentric rings, gazed calmly into Longinus's violently trembling azure eyes.

"Longinus of the Cassius family greets our great Celestial Dragon ancestor, the God of the Celestial Dragons, Lord Imu!"

[Thud]

Longinus dropped heavily to both knees without the slightest hesitation, in exactly the same posture the slaves in his home had once used when kneeling before him.

But he knew very well that there was a difference.

Those slaves had knelt before him out of fear, while he knelt before Lord Imu out of reverence and worship.

"Hehe, rise. You are my descendant, and I am your ancestor.
