The little rabbit squatting on the snowy [ground], or rather Luo En in his beastly form, felt immense regret as he sensed the overwhelming divine power imbued within the body beneath his feet.
He knew that there was a goddess bathing beneath the surface of the lake, and he would never jump in no matter what.
Although he was now a harmless little rabbit, once he digested the divinity of the Agriculture God from the Hygieian Porridge, and returned to his human form, the real trouble would begin.
After all, aside from a few exceptions, the goddesses of Greece were synonymous with problems and danger.
If his cover were blown, he might very well end up as dishes like spicy rabbit dices, shredded rabbit, spicy rabbit's head, dry pot rabbit... and so on.
"Why does it feel so dumb..."
As the curious mutterings of the goddess reached his ears, Luo En, who was catastrophizing his dire future, hastily raised his rabbit head and blinked his red eyes innocently and bewilderedly up at the golden-haired, silver-eyed goddess.
The goddess burst into giggles at the sight of the cute creature, cheerfully hugging the little rabbit to her chest.
"Right, if you weren't dumb, why would you jump into the water? Lucky for you, you've met me."
At this moment, with the movement of limbs, two majestic peaks kept squeezing inwards.
Caught in the middle, Luo En was far from experiencing any extreme pleasure, instead, he was enduring torment as alarm bells rang in his head, almost sounding like buzzers, and the twelve-sided die on the altar trembled with joy.
Clearly, this goddess was a dangerous character.
Both the instincts of his body and that twelve-sided die clearly told him that he was flirting with disaster on the edge of danger.
Fortunately, his transformation was influenced by the original Hygieian Porridge from Demeter. Had it been the abridged version by the foolish teacher Circe, he might have perished on the spot.
At this moment, Luo En, trapped in the deep cleavage and unable to escape, could only hope that the remaining divinity of the Agriculture God inside him was sturdy enough.
And in order to delay as much as possible, to find a gap to escape the clutches, Luo En tried to stay as silent as he could, endeavoring to slow down the digestion and absorption of the Agriculture God's divinity.
Finally, after enduring an agonizing hour, the goddess in the lake finally finished her satisfying bath and walked naked toward the shore.
Luo En, in his rabbit form, was also cradled in front of the goddess's chest, becoming a natural fig leaf.
Big sister, I really can't hold on any longer...
At this point, as the divine power of the Agriculture God inside him became increasingly weaker, and the deadly touches rolling and pressing all over his body intensified, Luo En couldn't help but cry out in his heart.
Thankfully, the place where the clothes were stored was not far from the water, and the goddess hadn't walked far before she reached her destination, finally setting the rabbit, who had served as a modesty cover, free.
As his four paws touched the solid ground once more, Luo En almost wanted to cry out with joy.
Taking advantage of the goddess getting dressed, Luo En didn't hesitate to hop away on his short little legs, diving into the nearby thicket, trying to flee the scene as quickly as possible.
But there was a rustling sound, and two golden-horned deer pulling a magnificent chariot sheathed in gold came sprinting down from the mountain.
Lucky for Luo En, his quick reflexes saved him from a second collision.
However, before that sense of relief could last a few seconds, a series of greedy and dangerous gazes converged on him.
Luo En stiffly raised his rabbit head and was shocked to see a line of hounds descending the mountain following the chariot, their eyes gleaming as they excitedly stuck out their red tongues.
The next moment, three droopy-eared dogs, two spotted dogs, one speckled dog, and seven incredibly fast Sparta dogs burst out of the bushes, racing straight for the snow-white rabbit on the leaves.
Almost instantaneously, Luo En cursed inwardly while frantically moving his short legs, dodging the pounces of the thirteen hunting dogs, trying to break out of their encirclement.
Because the Nameless Goddess was behind him, Luo En, in his rabbit guise, didn't dare to show too much prowess and had to use all of a common rabbit's skills to escape danger.
But the thirteen well-trained hounds before him were not only faster than ordinary livestock, but they also knew to work together, mounting a coordinated chase and cut-off against the scurrying little rabbit.
Luo En's several feints were continuously thwarted by the pack of hounds, and the space he had to manoeuvre was gradually compressed to an exposed clearing.
In the end, two eager mixed-breed dogs barked joyfully, lunging from left and right, trying to catch their prey first.
Just then, a crisp whistle sounded, and the thirteen hounds, heeding the call, retreated like a tide, gathering around the imposing, huntress goddess in front of them, excitedly whimpering and wagging their tails.
"You think you can escape from my hands that easily."
With a teasing, melodious tone, a hanging slender hand picked up the rabbit by its long ears, recapturing it and cradling it in one arm.
Then, she leapt onto the chariot pulled by the two golden-horned does, grabbed the golden reins in her other hand, and gave them a light flick.
Instantly, the commanded golden-horned does snorted, stretched their legs, gathering wind beneath their hooves, and pulling the lavish chariot, they dashed towards Knossos City like a whirlwind.
