The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 191: Or, Flesh Payment? (4.5k)_2



Seeing Astraea down half a jug without a sound, Luo En hurriedly offered a kind reminder.

"I brewed it myself, it's quite strong, and the effect sneaks up on you, don't drink too much..."

"Don't worry, it's no big deal!"

Astraea patted her chest, though her expression was still as careless as ever.

If she's not drunk, that's good.

Luo En breathed a sigh of relief, decided not to discourage her further, and focused on his meal instead.

In half an hour, the three of them were full.

A distinct flush had spread across Astraea's pretty face, and her eyes held a tipsy, dazed look.

"Everyone, I've eaten my fill, I'm heading back first."

Immediately after, the Goddess of Justice stood up from the fire, ready to head to her own tent.

However, she seemed to have underestimated the influence of the alcohol in her system and her step was somewhat staggered and unsteady.

"I'll walk you!"

Seeing this, Luo En quickly got up to support the wavering Astraea.

"Hmm… Hmm..."

The slightly tipsy Goddess of Justice didn't reject the help offered by her companion, responded vaguely with a nod, breathing heavily with the scent of alcohol.

As her blood circulated, Astraea's drunken state became more apparent; she leaned on Luo En's shoulder, and her full figure brushed against Luo En as they moved unsteadily together.

One had to admit, both the current and previous Goddess of Justice were well-nourished, each with figures that could lead a man astray...

Luo En hadn't walked many steps before he felt a rush of blood, and the [Goat] behind him became agitated.

This is going to be the death of me...

Luo En immediately suppressed his urge, sped up, and while he was not yet fully aroused to the point of becoming a beast, he hurriedly tucked Astraea into her tent.

Looking at the completely flushed face before him, with eyes tightly shut, and the rhythmically heaving twin [Fruits of Justice], a certain villain couldn't help but have a few savage glances at that snow-white scar before shaking his head.

She smoothly took away the divine wine that I brewed with my authority, and drank so much in one go...

Luckily for you, your teacher asked you to follow me when you left home, otherwise someone like you would have ended up with several seasons of crime investigation series!

After quietly grumbling to himself, Luo En pulled the tent's curtain aside and walked back towards the central campfire.

As his footsteps gradually faded away, Astraea, inside the tent, breathed a sigh of relief as if a burden had been lifted, slowly opened her eyes, sat up holding her throbbing hot forehead, and clenched her teeth in frustration.

By the fire, the dishes had been cleaned and the litter on the ground cleaned away; a graceful figure was meticulously drawing warning and Defensive Charms on the tree trunks and sandy ground.

"You know how to do these too?"

"Not all Nymphs are as privileged as the goddesses of Olympus, born superior and attended day and night."

Thetis responded indifferently, patiently adding the final touch to the Defensive Charm. She then turned her head to look at Luo En, who was approaching from a path through the woods, and calmly added,

"Besides, there are many sisters in my family, and father and mother can't manage them all, so I sometimes need to help take care of them."

"Not bad at all, truly virtuous. Whoever marries you is a lucky man."

Luo En praised with a smiling face, but soon noticed Thetis's gaze carrying a slight change upon hearing these words.

It seems that's not how you compliment someone in Greece...

Realizing his own abruptness, Luo En slapped his forehead and quickly pointed at Thetis's back, handing her a bottle of mead he'd made and sidestepping the topic,

"Have a drink. It contains herbs for pain relief and sleep, and it also has some blood-replenishing and recovery effects."

The Ocean Goddess by the firelight nodded, took a small sip of the honey-flavored mead with a hint of fruit, and her azure eyes softened slightly.

"Thank you for your help earlier."

"What are you talking about? If it hadn't been for you grabbing me and Astraea at the crucial moment, we would have fallen into the hands of those four women. If anyone should say thanks, it should be me thanking you."

"If even you two could have been captured, I certainly couldn't have escaped from the clutches of Eris and The Furies. Helping you was just helping myself."

"So you see, isn't it troublesome to keep thanking back and forth? Shall we call it even?"

Luo En sat in front of the fire, winked at Thetis, who had gradually become more familiar, and gave a slight smile.

However, Thetis by the firelight shook her head, her pretty face tensing slightly.

"No, you still owe me a favor."

As she spoke, the creditor took out the Bronze Eleph badge of Medusa from her pocket and waved it in front of the debtor.

"Fine, I owe you a favor..."

Realizing his attempt to settle the score had been seen through, Luo En ruefully accepted the promise.

"You're mistaken, it's two favors."

As he muttered, Thetis held up two pale fingers before him, seriously correcting him.

Luo En felt a bit exasperated after a moment.

"How could it be two now?"

"Do you need me to remind you?"

Thetis asked, then calmly counted on her fingers, bringing up past events.

"Besides the time on Cyprus Island, there's also this incident in the Primordial Ocean."

"Alright, alright, two it is..."

As the Ocean Goddess listed undeniable facts, Luo En rolled his eyes, grumbling to himself inwardly.

Clearly, the goddesses of Greece can be quite persnickety.

Especially the clever ones that are not easily fooled.

Having received Luo En's formal promise, Thetis's tight face showed a trace of a smile before she threaded the bronze badge with string and handed it to the man in front of her.

"Help me put it on."

With that, the Ocean Goddess lifted her shoulder-length golden hair and pointed to the nape of her snow-white neck as an indication.
