486: Chapter 486 Athena’s Persistence 486: Chapter 486 Athena’s Persistence “Boom, boom.” The stone door let out a series of thunderous roars as those giant beasts were frantically slamming against it.
Ye Shikai hurriedly got up from the ground, realizing that Hu Li was too anxious and had even forgotten that there was a switch to open it.
“Run, don’t stop, there will be more giant beasts coming.” Ye Shikai said to the two women behind him, that madwoman Hu Li, turning living people into half-human, half-beast monsters and controlling them at will, no wonder she had never been attacked by those giant beasts in the tomb before.
“Roar, roar.” At the same time, the sound of booming footsteps was approaching from the far end of the corridor, the footsteps of the giant beasts…
“Hades, I knew you would come to rescue me.” From a corner, Ye Shikai glanced over the corridor.
It seemed they had shaken off those monsters.
Just as they found safety, Athena pounced on him impatiently and wrapped her arms around his.
“Athena, could you calm down a bit?
You’re practically choking me to death.” Ye Shikai helplessly pushed Athena away.
The proud Valkyrie had been overturned in the gutter by Hu Li; of course, she was fuming inside, and now that Ye Shikai had saved her, how could she not be agitated?
“Tsk…” Chuanzi let out a cold snort on the side.
The air was thick with that ambiguous scent, almost too much for her to bear.
“Adults are in love, you child should stay out of it.” Athena didn’t even turn her head, waving her hand as if shooing away a fly.
“You…” Chuanzi wanted to curse out loud but held back.
She had heard of the Valkyrie Athena’s notorious temperament from her grandfather; the woman before her was famously volatile.
“Chuanzi, could you step aside for a bit, please?
I have something to talk to her about.” Ye Shikai came back to his senses and said indifferently to Chuanzi.
you.” Chuanzi obviously misunderstood, thinking that Ye Shikai wanted to do ‘that thing’ with Athena right there.
“Don’t get the wrong idea.
I really do have something to say.
Please, step aside.” Ye Shikai explained helplessly.
“Hmph, be quick about it.” Chuanzi huffed and turned to leave the corner.
“Athena, I really need to talk to you seriously now.” Ye Shikai took a deep breath, his tone very serious.
There were things he had to make clear.
“What is it, darling~~” Athena’s coquettish tone gave Ye Shikai goosebumps.
The famous Valkyrie of the Underworld even had this girlish side.
“Athena, you should know that I have a wife.” Ye Shikai stated firmly.
This was not the time to be confused.
I’m very open-minded and don’t mind.” Athena smiled and wrapped her arms around Ye Shikai’s waist, but he pushed her away.
“Athena, about the incident where I accidentally saw you bathing, I want to apologize again.” Ye Shikai bowed deeply.
The relationship between him and Athena started with that accident.
“What do you mean?” Athena realized that Ye Shikai was not joking, and her expression immediately became tense.
Athena, I must make it clear to you that our relationship can only be a friendship.” Ye Shikai enunciated every word, speaking earnestly.
“Friendship, ha ha.” Athena’s expression changed, and she suddenly burst into uncontrollable laughter on the spot.
“Athena, are you okay?” Ye Shikai was a bit panicked; his words seemed to have struck a nerve.
“Hades, do you really think I would care about that archaic notion that if you’ve seen my body, you have to marry me?” Athena’s tone was very calm, so calm that Ye Shikai felt the woman in front of him was more terrifying than ten giant beasts.
“You, what do you mean?” Ye Shikai had an ominous premonition in his mind.
“Before the journey to Holy Mountain, I indeed thought that way, but since then I’ve found…” Athena walked up to Ye Shikai’s ear and whispered, “I’ve really fallen in love with you.”
Athena’s astonishing words scared Ye Shikai into retreating a step.
Was this her confession?
But why did Ye Shikai feel a chill of fear…
“Athena, you’ve truly gone mad, I don’t understand what you’re thinking,” Ye Shikai said indifferently.
“What about the Moon God, isn’t she the same?
Aren’t you mad too, coming to this godforsaken place to save her?”
“It’s not the same, she and I…”
“Had an affair.” Athena didn’t wait for Ye Shikai to finish and interrupted him with a calm statement that left him speechless.
“Hmm.” Ye Shikai nodded slightly.
“But she was willing, and you had no legal relationship,” hinted Athena, implying that their relationship was like a one-night stand, and that come dawn, there should be no further connection between them, nor should there be any feeling of guilt or debt.
“Perhaps this is the difference between Eastern and Western concepts, Athena.
You’re different from the Moon God, I must take responsibility for her.”
“So that means, if I were to have that kind of relationship with you,” said Athena suddenly stepping forward and pinning Ye Shikai against the wall in a forceful stance, her head close to his ear, “if something were to happen between us, you would take responsibility for me, right?”
A chill ran up Ye Shikai’s spine, and as he turned his head, he saw a fire seemingly burning in the depths of Athena’s eyes.
This posture of ‘pressing against the wall,’ was Athena possibly intending to…
“Stop joking.” Ye Shikai came back to his senses, Athena’s red lips only inches from his cheek, and he forcefully pushed the woman in front of him away, forcing himself to calm down.
The words of the fortune teller at the airport arose in his mind.
“Am I not as beautiful as the Moon God?” Athena’s face was cold, and Ye Shikai really feared she might do something rash.
“No, it’s not that,” Ye Shikai waved his hands frantically in denial.
“Then let’s make love now.”
That’s not okay, I refuse,” Ye Shikai was stunned by her suggestion.
They were still in the tomb, wrong, how could he make love with her?
Not to mention being overseas, he was already quite popular with the ladies back in Huaxia, if Athena was added to the mix…
“Then why not, could it be that you look down on me?” Athena’s face was icy cold, and Ye Shikai felt like he was treading on thin ice, truly not daring to provoke the woman before him.
“Then why won’t you consent?” Athena demanded loudly.
“I, my wife would mind it greatly, in Huaxia, this would be the act of a Chen Shimei,” Ye Shikai hurriedly explained.
“Haha.” Suddenly, Athena burst into loud laughter in place, and Ye Shikai, trembling with fear, stepped forward and gently patted her shoulder.
“Athena, are you alright…”
Before Ye Shikai could finish, Athena pushed him hard to the ground, her piercing gaze too intimidating to meet, and she pinned Ye Shikai’s arm to the floor.
“Now, we’re in the tomb, if we do that sort of thing, she won’t know,” Athena’s seductive voice lingered in Ye Shikai’s ear.
