Chapter 195 Circe's Day of Suffering (4k)
Sisyphus was the City Builder and King of Corinth, and legend has it that he once kidnapped the God of Death, causing a world without death.
So, if nothing out of the ordinary happens, that old brother should be the culprit behind this kidnapping.
And according to his original destiny, his misdeeds would eventually be exposed, and after having offended Heavenly Father Zeus, kidnapped Death God Thanatos, and deceived Hades, the God of the Underworld, he would receive eternal punishment in the Netherworld.
Since being caught and punished was just a matter of time, that old fellow, you might as well make a small sacrifice.
Experience tales with empire
Having successfully diverted the disaster, Luo En muttered to himself and then insincerely offered a few seconds of silence as penance.
There's no helping it, one monk carries water to drink, two monks carry water to drink, three monks have no water to drink.
"Yo-ho! That woman finally left!"
An excited cheer interrupted Luo En's thoughts, as the successfully escaped Circe tiptoed and patted her apprentice's shoulder with force, loud in her praise.
"Well done! I really didn't raise you in vain!"
Luo En smiled and removed Circe's claw, revealing a businessman-like face.
"Teacher, for such a big favor, just saying words seems a little insufficient, doesn't it? Where's my benefit?"
"Yes, yes! Everyone gets one!"
Circe grinned ear to ear, nodding repeatedly. She immediately pulled out several little cakes from the basket and stuffed them into the hands of Luo En and Astraea,
Looking at the exquisitely made pastries with the shapes of piglets, gray wolves, white rabbits, and the like, along with a fragrant sweet smell, Astraea became somewhat reluctant to part with them.
"They're so cute!"
"Hehe! Not bad, not bad, you have good taste!"
Flattered by the compliment, Circe's pretty face showed satisfaction, and she raised her head in self-congratulation.
"To make these shapes, I had to create special molds. And inside I've added different fillings such as apple, fig, grape, and so on, guaranteeing you won't get bored with the taste!"
After hearing this, Astraea couldn't help swallowing hard, her eyes gleaming, almost wishing to bury her head and devour the little cake in her hand to taste its flavor.
But a hand reaching from the side pressed down on the head of the Goddess of Justice, who was about to indulge.
At the same time, the owner of the hand, Luo En, looked toward his enchantress teacher with a skeptical gaze.
"Other than being delicious, there's nothing else?"
"There is!"
Circe nodded gravely, placing her hand on her flat chest, solemnly proclaiming.
"That would be my enchantress Circe's goodwill toward you! Just as the Mingyue circles the sky, my gratitude will always be by your side!"
Felling a tug at the hem of his clothes from behind by Little Medea, Luo En narrowed his eyes and looked at Circe's chest where her 'conscience' should be, smiling broadly as he handed over the little cake in his hand.
"No need to be grateful, here, help me eat these first, I've been avoiding sweets recently."
"Ah...? Uh… this… well..."
Circe instinctively took a few steps back, stammering in her response, then glanced at Astraea, who was salivating next to her, and quickly passed the little cakes to the Goddess of Justice with a swift turn of her eyes.
"I've also been having a poor appetite recently; you eat them!"
"Alright!"
Upon hearing this good news, Astraea eagerly nodded her head, ready to taste one first.
"Boom!"
However, just as the justice-hungry Goddess of Justice raised her hand, War God Mountain was rocked by a dull thump, and clouds of dust billowed out.
Noisy voices and chaotic turbulence rose and fell.
"It's terrible! Two pigs have run amok on the sacrificial ground!"
"Pigs? Where did they come from?"
"They just burst from the rooms of Stheno and Euryale, with pink-purple hair and scales of a snake underneath! Are they... the pets of those two?"
"Never mind that for now, quickly, spread the Suppression Spell and the capture nets, let's catch them first!"
"Wait, the Suppression Spell isn't working? What's happening? Goddess above! They can actually fly!"
Upon War God Mountain, two tiny pink-purple pigs spread golden wings on their backs and scuttled about like swift lightning, bumping the priests and diviners who were surrounding and attempting to intercept them, sending them tumbling in all directions.
Hearing the sounds of wailing and cries for help, Astraea immediately put down the little cake that had reached her mouth, as her sense of justice surged.
"I'll go help!"
"No, no, it won't cause much damage. Looking at the situation, I reckon it'll calm down in a bit."
Circe stopped Astraea, casually waving her hand, her smile carefree as she reassured.
"Besides, with so many priests and diviners up there, they'll surely solve it. Better to eat something first to fill your stomach..."
"Boom!"
Before Circe could finish her sentence, another thunderous boom emanated from the northeast corner of War God Mountain.
"This is bad! Pigs! More pigs here!"
"They rushed out from the backyard of Lady Hestia, golden ones, very small but extremely fast!"
"This is bad, they're heading for the Divine Tower!"
"Defensive Charms! Quick, activate the Defensive Charms, drive them to the uninhabited area in the north!"
With his excellent vision, Luo En peered through the spreading dust to see three small pigs on the sacrificial ground that seemed familiar, and he suddenly had an ominous premonition. Pointing at the little cakes in the basket, he asked in a low voice.
"Who else did you give these to?"
Circe pondered for a moment, then counted on her fingers carelessly responding.
"Well, first, the twin brats with purple hair, speaking so rudely and offensively!"
"Then there was a little brat with golden braids and a pair of wings on her back, who had the nerve to say her wings were prettier than mine! Outrageous!"
