Chapter 641: Chapter 98: Want to Try My Breeding Module? (4.7k)_3 Chapter 641: Chapter 98: Want to Try My Breeding Module? (4.7k)_3 “Am I that bad?”
She raised her hand to touch her delicate cheek and looked toward the beautiful reflection in the water, instantly regaining her confidence.
No, it definitely isn’t my problem!
Mechanical God Venus furrowed her brows, doubts rising in her heart.
Then why does he keep rejecting me? Is it because the Seed is very precious?
Or perhaps it contains the secret to his strength?
Mechanical God Venus was slightly taken aback, but quickly collected herself, her rolling pink tongue licking her moist lips, as she gazed thoughtfully at the figure ascending to the top of War God Mountain.
If that’s the case, I have no choice but to taste it.
Meanwhile, Luo En, who was just arriving at the entrance of a residence, felt an eerie chill rush up from behind, causing him to sneeze heavily.
“You’ve caught a cold?”
The tightly closed door creaked open, and Justice Goddess Themis, in a simple white gauze dress and holding the Sword of Judgment, walked out concernedly to inquire.
“No, it’s probably just the wind today.”
Luo En waved his hand and looked up at Justice Goddess Themis, who had personally come to greet him, a smile appearing on his face.
“What’s this? Won’t you invite me in to sit?”
Themis realized, smiled, and stepped aside to formally invite today’s visitor inside.
The elegant and unique courtyard was swept clean, with a simple stone table in the center, a few dishes of fruit preserves and snacks placed on it, and a stove on the side with faint yellow flames, heating a pot of floral brew made by the Nymphs, its light fragrance diffusing into the air.
According to the timing, these refreshments were clearly prepared in advance.
Justice Goddess Themis, showing none of the standoffishness or impatience of a goddess, gently picked up the pot on the stove, filling the cups in front of them, every move embodying harmony and natural beauty, like a chrysanthemum blooming alone, blossoming in its own right.
The faint fragrance of the flowers unconsciously cleansed the mind of clutter, immersing them in this tranquility and peace.
People as unassuming as chrysanthemums can outshine a hundred flowers.
That apt appraisal sprung into Luo En’s mind, as he shook his slightly dazed head and raised his cup to apologize to Themis, who had been waiting for who knows how long.
“Sorry for the wait.”
Themis didn’t seem to mind at all, picked up her cup to sip lightly, then smiled gently, inviting Luo En to sit down and discuss the heart of the matter.
The so-called heart of the matter was naturally how to persuade The Three Fates to take action.
But since Luo En had not obtained useful information from Hecate, he had no clue for the time being and could only inform Themis of the usual negotiation direction and some techniques of uncertain effect.
Themis listened quietly while taking notes, occasionally asking about various strategies needed in different scenarios.
Luo En spared no details, nearly emptying out the last of his thoughts, hoping to boost Themis’s odds of success against The Three Fates.
However, the more he spoke, the more uncertain he felt inside.
Finally, after a moment of reflection, Luo En took the initiative.
“Maybe I should go with you?”
However, Themis shook her head, politely but firmly declining.
“That might not be a good idea. The stance of The Three Fates is still unknown, and as the leader of the Alliance, if those three place more importance on the Heavenly Destiny carried by Zeus, you might be in danger!”
“You said yourself my odds are higher, didn’t you?”
Themis spoke with a smile, looking confidently at Luo En.
“Besides, even if I fail, wouldn’t I still have you?”
For the gods, death was often not the end.
Even if she became a sacrifice in this trial, she believed the God of Wine before her would awaken her once more.
After all, this man always seemed to bring miracles and hope.
Perhaps influenced by that firm gaze, Luo En brushed away the shadows in his heart and raised his cup high.
“Since you put it that way, how could I let you down?”
Themis nodded earnestly, likewise raising her cup to clink it against that of her friend and mentor.
In a vigorous and heartfelt exchange, the sun set beyond the horizon.
Since they hadn’t fully resolved the issue of persuading The Three Fates to act, they decided to return to the house to consolidate the information at hand and ponder alone through the night, planning to continue their discussion the next day.
Thus, Luo En naturally accepted Themis’s invitation to stay overnight in the adjacent room.
However, after freshening up, Luo En was sitting at the table, barely flipping through a few pages of materials, when a gentle knock sounded on the tightly closed door.
As the door opened, a misty, warm steam wafted in, and the Justice Goddess, draped in white gauze with dewdrops glistening on her skin, entered the room.
Her damp hair casually draped over her shoulders, and the flush from the lingering warmth on her cheeks made her as mesmerizing as a crabapple flower rising from the water, too exquisite for words.
Luo En watched as Themis approached under the fluorescent light, his eyelids twitched, and his throat felt somewhat dry.
