Chapter 3245 Times Have Changed
“We can’t just leave like that. How can we leave after we’ve been through just to get in?” Miya refused to leave. She then turned to Ozrell. “Old Mr. Ozrell, he might not be one of the Seizons, but he’s a part of the family now. You can’t just throw him out.”
“Part of the family?” Ozrell gradually opened his eyes once again.
“Yes, he’s part of the family. He’s my husband, the son-in-law of the Seizon family. We’re married.” Miya wrapped her hand around Jared’s arm.
Jared was momentarily dumbfounded. He hadn’t expected Miya to fabricate such a story.
“Nonsense. Do you think I’m a fool? You’re still a virgin. How can you two be husband and wife?” Ozrell exclaimed in anger.
“We’re indeed husband and wife. I’ll prove it to you if you don’t believe me.” With that, Miya took Jared’s hand and led him into one of the rooms adjacent to the hall before removing her clothes.
“What are you doing, Ms. Seizon?” Her action caught Jared by surprise. “We must consummate our marriage now, or else, he’ll kick you out!” Miya said to Jared.
“I can’t have you jeopardizing your own reputation for my sake. I can’t do this.” Jared instantly turned around to avoid seeing Miya’s body.
“Why are you being so wishy-washy? You’re a man, come on! What are you afraid of? I’m not even scared to do this. I know you’re surrounded by many women, so even if we had sex, I won’t hold you responsible. Don’t worry!” Miya said while removing her clothes.
Soon, Miya appeared completely naked before Jared. She even inched closer to embrace him. As a man, Jared found it hard to resist such a temptation. Gritting his teeth, he approached and pressed her down on the bed, looming over her.
Hearing the sensual moans that came from the room, Ozrell sat in the hall, visibly distressed, and let out a helpless sigh. “Times have changed. What has become of society these days? Girls don’t even bother to preserve their chastity. It’s pathetic to see how they disregard the sanctity of physical intimacy.”
Ozrell sighed with resignation, acknowledging the changing times and a development of a new era. There was nothing he could do about it.
In his generation, women who conducted themselves in such a manner, neglecting the reverence for their bodies, would have faced severe consequences, possibly even being subjected to stoning. Jared and Miya finally came out of the room after an indefinite amount of time.
Miya’s face was flushed red, her expression revealing her satisfaction. Jared, however, couldn’t help but feel and embarrassed. After all, he had just fornicated with Miya right in front of her ancestor. The atmosphere was understandably awkward.
“Old Mr. Ozrell, he can stay in the ancestral land now, can’t he?” Miya asked. Left with no choice, Ozrell waved his hand with a sigh. “Oh, fine. Get in there.”
“Thank you, Old Mr. Ozrell. Please open the passageway for us!” Miya exclaimed with joy when Ozrell finally agreed to let them through.
“But both of you must keep your thoughts in control and center your minds. No filthy thoughts!” Ozrell cautioned.
As he spoke, he lifted his hands, as if lifting an unseen force with his palms. A crimson beam swiftly coalesced, and in a matter of seconds, an oval door, illuminated by a radiant glow, materialized right before their eyes.
“Go on in,” Ozrell said.
“Thank you!” Miya expressed her gratitude before taking Jared’s hand and guiding him into the beam of light.
“Where does this door lead to? Is it some kind of teleportation magecraft?” Jared wondered, bewildered. Is he sending us away using this door that came out of nowhere?
“Don’t worry; it’s not teleportation magecraft. He’s sending us to the ancestral land. The main hall serves as the boundary of the ancestral land, while the actual destination lies within a complex arcane array. This arrangement has preserved the nascence for centuries.
However, due to the array’s age, it has deteriorated somewhat. Consequently, whenever the portal to the ancestral land opens, untethered nascence seeps out and merges with the surrounding land and sky. The essence we sensed earlier in the day was the residual energy that escaped from the ancestral land,” Miya elucidated for Jared.
