As the ordinary elders of the Sky Sect left, Austin was eager to get the chance of seeing the queen again.
"I hope she is doing well,"
Austin murmured while his mind was occupied imagining the face of the queen.
A few seconds later, a gray figure immediately rushed towards Austin.
As the gray figure's silhouette became clearer, it transformed into a graceful woman right in front of Austin.
As it turned out, it was the queen.
When she saw Austin, the queen felt her body become lighter and her face was beaming with warm light. She flew towards the area where she heard Austin's voice, still uncertain whether Austin was alive or not, until she saw him herself with her two eyes.
Her face blushed rose red with excitement. This led her lips to form a beautiful smile and two dimples showed up on her gleeful cheeks. In that moment, she was at a loss for words.
"Hey, are you all right?"
Austin anxiously asked the queen while he was feeling butterflies in his stomach.
"Yes, I am fine. You came up just in time,"
replied the queen while calmly nodding. Her character was always like this. She was never one to show her actual feelings in front of other people that easily.
She was extremely delighted to see Austin, but on the surface, she acted as if she was merely relieved to see Austin alive.
"Austin, I have to tell you something."
Just at this moment, Austin's Soul Sea suddenly received a message from the Priest Callum of the evil shadow race who was using his spiritual sense.
Austin was a little flustered while he was looking at the Priest Callum.
"The people of the evil shadow race age differently from humans.
The evil shadow race is a rare race that has survived from time immemorial. Generally speaking, we can live longer than a thousand years, much longer than humans.
Moreover, with the improvement of our cultivation bases, we can attain longer lives.
The queen is now at the Semi-holy Realm.
She is at least four thousand years old now.
But she is just a young girl in her twenties or so in an ordinary human being's age,"
added the Priest Callum while using his spiritual sense.
Austin couldn't utter a single word upon hearing this revelation.
He never expected that the queen had been four thousand years old already! And based on what the priest said, she could surely live longer!
By contrast, human life expectancy was indeed much shorter.
Even though a human cultivator reached the Semi-holy Realm, he could at most live for a thousand or even a few hundred years.
In contrast, once a cultivator of the evil shadow race reached the Semi-holy Realm, he was able to live for four thousand years. That was truly a remarkable feat!
After processing the information, Austin was left dumbfounded.
'Why did the Priest Callum give me this information all of a sudden?
What were his intentions? Did he...'
Austin was perplexed.
He couldn't help but sneak a glance at the queen.
Meanwhile, the Priest Callum's face wore a meaningful grin.
The queen caught Austin's strange look and his secret glance. This somehow made her heart beat faster.
Her cheeks blushed a pinkish hue.
"All right, Austin, we have released the queen.
Now you should also let Laura go,"
Lenard mentioned.
The demonic avatar was still grabbing Laura's throat at that moment.
Laura felt that she was in the clutches of an immensely powerful being. Her eyes began to grow dark and her body was succumbing to the evil aura.
Her heart was filled with resentment, fear, despair, humiliation, and regret. These negative emotions contorted her face in a horrible manner.
She didn't expect that she'd find herself in a horrible situation just because she had called the queen a bitch.
If she had been given a second chance, she would probably have not uttered such disrespectful words towards the queen.
But there was no remedy for repentance.
