After a long time, Aphrodite pinched her eyebrows and sighed softly: "Your Highness, don't do this again in the future, I don't like it."
Hephaestus stared intently at Aphrodite's tired face with golden red eyes, and he said tentatively, "I just want to see you earlier..."
Aphrodite's face turned cold, his brows frowned, and Hephaestus immediately said, "I assure you, I will never do it again."
Aphrodite's face softened again, like winter snow melting, warmth flowed on the surface, but a biting chill still lingered deep inside.
Aphrodite tapped the scepter, and the seat floated up behind Hephaestus.
Aphrodite raised her hand and invited Hephaestus to sit down with him: "Your Highness, has the sun chariot been rebuilt?"
Hephaestus nodded, showing a slightly confused look, and asked: "It has been built, and the rebuilt sun god car is more powerful, and can better adapt to and isolate the power of the sun god fire, but relatively speaking , the requirements for drivers are also higher and more refined. Helios is quite satisfied."
He looked at Aphrodite's expression and asked, "Your Highness, are you going to recruit Helios?"
Aphrodite smiled and said: "Helios' sun priesthood is very good, but he is too far from me to be recruited."
It was easy to make an ally with Helios, and no god would refuse the favor of a major god as powerful as Aphrodite.
But no matter how close they are, they are at most just allies. It is impossible for Helios to share the origin of the sun with Aphrodite to observe, or even let Aphrodite control the sun.
But Aphrodite is bound to win the sun.
So in order to occupy the sun, Aphrodite can only use some special methods.
The memory of Venus is relatively one-sided, and she doesn't know all the deeds in God's Domain, but some big things are still very clear.
For example, Phaethon, the son of Helios, will secretly drive Helios' sun chariot to show off with his friends one day in the future, but the sun chariot overturns and falls due to lack of ability. The earth, and the silver humans living on the earth were all destroyed by the fall of the sun fire.
As a result, Helios dereliction of duty, was deprived of the Sun Godhead by Zeus and thrown into custody under Tartarus.
Aphrodite did not tamper with the Sun Chariot, nor did she intend to take the initiative to guide Phaethon to make mistakes.
After all, the collapse of the Sun Chariot had too much impact on God's Domain, and Aphrodite was afraid that if she provoked such a thing, she would be disgusted by the law.
The reason why he asked Hephaestus to increase the power of the sun chariot was just to make the more powerful sun chariot cause greater disasters after Phaer made mistakes like the goddess of Venus.
For example, in the memory of Eros, the silver humans became extinct after the Phaethon disaster.
And what Aphrodite wanted was that after the extinction of the silver humans, the earth would also be burned dry by the fire of the sun god. In this way, the goddess of the earth would have to recuperate for a period of time, and Aphrodite could start a big plan.
But these were all arrangements after Phaethon made a mistake.
Because the gods have very little sense of the passage of time, Aphrodite doesn't know when the disaster of Phaeton will come, so his most important thing at present is still the birth of the little Cupid.
Hephaestus didn't know what Aphrodite was thinking in detail, and seeing that Aphrodite didn't seem to have any plans to tell him, his eyes darkened, so he talked about the recent events on the mountain. : "... The banquet will start soon, and the Queen of God asks all of us to give her a congratulatory gift. Your Highness, do you need me to create another jewelry for you as a gift?"
After pondering for a few seconds, Aphrodite shook her head and said, "No, let me think about it first."
Hera was very good to 'Nemesis', and Aphrodite felt that she should carefully prepare a gift for her.
And what Hera wanted was...
Aphrodite touched his chin and gradually smiled. He had an idea.
Hera would probably like that gift, but Zeus... tsk.
After having an idea, Aphrodite left the Temple of Eros and visited the temples of several other main gods separately, and then went to prepare gifts.
The Olympus Mountain also ushered in the grandest and grandest banquet ever.
The human priests of the gods gathered their hands one after another to send the favorite sacred flowers of the main gods to Mount Olympus, while the nymphs were in charge of adorning the sacred flowers and decorating the noble and noble thrones of the main gods.
When the wedding day came, Aphrodite also returned slowly among the petunias blooming everywhere with the gift prepared for Hera.
The muses, who symbolize art, compose the most beautiful music in the world. They cling to books, wear flower crowns, play flutes, lyres and harps, and sing in the elegant music, singing the praises of the gods. Majesty queen of kings and gods.
The Goddess of Mercy raised her fluttering and elegant dance skirt, twisted her slender and charming waist, and danced with a group of specially trained nymphs. As the genus of the god of beauty, Meihui's charm can be imagined, and all the male gods present were infatuated.
The muse was not willing to be robbed of the limelight by the Meihuis and became their foil. After looking at each other, Tersikeri, who is good at dancing, stepped into Meihui's dance gracefully and reservedly.
Although she is not as dazzling as Meihui, her dancing skills are very outstanding, and she quickly compares Meihui and others.
Meihui became more and more beautiful, attracting the male gods around them to join in their dance, and the goddesses followed closely to join in the carnival.
At the moment when the atmosphere on the holy mountain reached its hottest, fourteen rays of light, namely Gaia, the twelve main gods, and Hades from the underworld descended together and sat on their respective gods.
Finally became the main god Hermes very happy, in order to celebrate his becoming the main god, Zeus gave him a winged hat and a pair of winged boots.
Because of his strength and identity, Zeus made him the messenger of the main gods, responsible for running errands and delivering oracles for the main gods, so as to ease his relationship with everyone.
After the main gods were seated, the main god who is also the messenger stood up, held up the scepter of the god of business, and cheered: "Today is a noble and great day, because His Majesty Zeus, the king of our gods, will join his god Her Majesty Empress Hera is getting married today!"
The carnival dancing gods in the audience paused the dance and music, and respectfully paid homage to the sublime gods, kings, queens, and main gods.
Aphrodite smiled reservedly at this moment, and patted her palms lightly, and the main gods also applauded together, as if celebrating.
Because of the slow reaction before, Hestia reflected on herself after going back. This time, after Aphrodite applauded, she immediately followed suit.
Sure enough, this time she kept up with the main force and was no longer the special one.
Hermes looked as usual: "Thank the Lord Gods for their sincere blessings on the marriage of the God King and God Queen. The next step is the grand wedding ceremony. Before the wedding begins, His Majesty Zeus will first show the gift he has carefully prepared for Her Majesty the God Queen. !"
Zeus raised his head and pointed his thunder scepter, and a giant tree reaching the sky appeared out of thin air. Its trunk was extremely luxuriant and huge, and its canopy was also lush and lush.
It looks like a normal tree, only taller. But when the wind blows slightly, the green leaves on its branches flutter, and then there is a burst of golden light.
That is the light of the golden apple.
This tree is the god tree, the golden apple tree, which Zeus begged from Gaia.
Aphrodite's heart beat suddenly after seeing the golden apple tree.
He leaned forward a little, his eyes shining brightly.
The moment the golden apple tree appeared, Aphrodite felt the power similar to his godhead, love, desire, and even the origin of winter and ice!
Hermes looked at Zeus: "Is this the legendary golden apple tree? Can His Majesty the God King tell us something special about it?"
Zeus wanted to show off in front of the gods, smiled slightly, and said, "Of course."
He introduced it in a very ordinary way: "This is a golden apple tree. It is said that it was planted by His Royal Highness Chaos, the creation god. The power of the world flows through the branches. This is the most special part of it."
When the gods heard the words, they all whispered.
Aphrodite stared at the golden apple tree with eyes full of love, and he couldn't help asking: "Then what is the role of the golden apple?"
Zeus gave him a strange look, and seeing Aphrodite's eyes showing love, he was even more proud: "The golden apple it bears is also very special, as if it were made of gold, and it contains the power of different laws, but for everyone As far as God is concerned, it has little effect. Ah, by the way, after taking the golden apple, you may become a little smarter."
Having said that, Zeus has a little regret. But it doesn't matter, he is very proud to be able to see Aphrodite's obsessed eyes. He thought to himself, after the wedding, he will ask Hera to put away the golden apple tree and never give it to Aphrodite. look.
Aphrodite's breathing became heavier...
Isn't this the treasure he wanted? ! Aphrodite doesn't need too much strength, he just needs quantity!
Aphrodite glanced over Hera quietly, holding back the joy in her heart, without showing it on her face.
Fortunately, he had already secretly win over Hera, and Hera even made an agreement with 'Nemesis' to enjoy the golden apple tree together.
It's all effortless.
After Zeus showed off his gift, Hermes asked, "Your Highness Aphrodite, after hearing that you left the mountain to prepare gifts for the wedding of the two majesties, let us see you Prepared gifts?"
Aphrodite smiled slightly: "Of course, but I want to take out my gift last, why don't other highnesses show it first."
Gaia heard the words and snorted softly: "Then let me come first, I hope His Highness Aphrodite's gift is special enough, don't let everyone down."
Aphrodite narrowed her eyebrows and smiled slightly.
The elegant and luxurious primitive goddess gently flicked her golden curly hair, and took out her gift.
Hermes immediately explained: "The gift prepared by God Gaia is a magical seed of all things. The seed of all things is ever-changing and can bloom all the flowers in the world! After His Majesty Hera has it, it is equivalent to owning The most beautiful and rich garden in the world!"
Hera looked indifferent, except for the golden apple tree, she didn't care much about other gifts.
Next came Hestia, whose gift was a torch with the ever-burning holy fire in it.
Demeter's gift is similar to Gaia's, a magical fruit basket from which Hera can take out all the fruits except the golden apple.
What Hades gave was an alchemist staff. After going to the underworld to become the king of the underworld, Hades inherited the wealth of the underworld and obtained the godhead of the god of wealth. As the name suggests, the touchstone can turn stones into gold.
A seashell sent by Poseidon, the shell can continuously condense magical golden pearls, which is very beautiful.
After the brothers and sisters of Zeus delivered the gifts, the next generation of children followed.
Arranged in order of seniority, as the goddess of nature, Artemis gave Hera a field of lilies, and Apollo gave fifty cows.
Given their mediocre relationship with Hera, even old grudges, the gods accepted this well.
And Hephaestus gave Hera a very beautiful throne, still called 'The Throne of Hephaestus'.
After his gift was taken out, the gods didn't even dare to look at the faces of Zeus and Hera.
Then came Athena, who was an excellent weaver and gave a piece of cloth she had woven herself.
After a series of simple gifts, Hera's complexion was already a bit ugly, and at this time she finally ushered in a gift from her favorite child Ares.
The gift Ares prepared for Hera was a gem pomegranate tree, from the trunk to the leaves, all made of gems.
The fruit hanging on the tree is a full-bodied pomegranate with gold foil skin, slightly cracked bottom, and ruby granules.
The beautiful red pomegranates hung all over the whole tree, which was extremely gorgeous. After Hera saw it, the cloudy and cleared immediately, with a happy smile, and looked at Ares lovingly.
Sure enough, she and 'Nemesis' are good children, he is as considerate as his other mother.
With the ruby pomegranate tree of Ares in front, the lyre made by Hermes pales in comparison. But Hera was in a good mood, so she glanced at it casually and passed by, showing no displeasure.
By this time, only Aphrodite's gift hadn't been delivered yet.
Zeus raised his eyebrows and asked, "Aphrodite, everyone's gifts have been displayed, and it's time for you next."
Aphrodite smiled and said, "Your Majesty Hera, please listen to me, and I will tell you quietly."
Zeus frowned, and the gods suddenly became more curious about Aphrodite's gift.
Aphrodite moved the divine seat to Hera's seat, and Hera gave him a suspicious look, and listened to him.
Aphrodite covered her lips with her hand, leaned on Hera's ear and whispered a few words.
Then the gods saw that Hera's eyes lit up, as bright as the sun in the sky.
Obviously, Aphrodite's gift made Hera very satisfied.
Gaia couldn't help asking: "Aphrodite, everyone has shown the gifts they prepared for everyone to see, and you should also show them for everyone to see, what's the point of sneaking and talking to the queen. "
Zeus quickly nodded in agreement:
Aphrodite glanced at Hera, and Hera pouted, and said unhappily: "That's a gift from Aphrodite, I just need to know what it is, why do you bother so much?" .”
Athena smiled and said: "Your Majesty, you have misunderstood, but Her Highness Aphrodite is the God of Beauty, and the items from his hands must be extraordinary. We are really curious about what kind of treasures Your Highness has prepared for you, so we want to see one look."
Hera didn't say a word, but Aphrodite smiled and said, "Your Majesty Athena is disappointed. The gift I prepared for Her Majesty the God Empress is actually quite plain and simple."
It was fine if he didn't say it, but after saying this, the gods felt as if they were being tickled by a feather, and they couldn't bear it.
Even Demeter and Apollo looked over curiously, ready to move.
Aphrodite looked at Hera with inquiring eyes, and Zeus was desperately encouraging: "Hera, everyone is so curious, you and Aphrodite should stop playing tricks."
Hera gave him a blank look, and snorted, "Then tell everyone, Your Highness, to satisfy the curiosity of the gods."
Aphrodite's brows and eyes were slightly closed, and inexplicable colors flowed in his eyes. He snorted and said, "The gift I prepared for Her Majesty the Queen of God is... the Holy Spring of Karnassos."
There was a daze in the eyes of the gods, they didn't understand why Aphrodite gave Hera a spring water, and why Hera was so happy.
Athena had an idea and asked, "Does the Holy Spring of Karnassus have any special effects?"
Aphrodite smiled and nodded: "If you bathe in this spring, the spring will wash away all the anxiety, fatigue and aging accumulated by the goddess, and restore your appearance to the most perfect moment, radiant and incredible."
When the goddesses heard this, their eyes lit up immediately.
No wonder His Majesty Hera looked so happy, they liked such a gift very much!
Aphrodite rested his arm on the armrest, he held his chin, and said with a smile: "Of course, this time it's all secondary. It also has one of the most important instincts, for example... to help the goddess who lost her virginity against her will to recover. chastity."
Aphrodite laughed presumptuously, her face was as bright as a rose, and her youth was shining.
Zeus' complexion changed and turned a little blue.
Aphrodite meant that he was insinuating that he raped Hera. Even if Hera was his queen, would she still be reluctant to marry him? !
The gods also thought of something, and they looked away tacitly, and their eyes wandered aimlessly, just not looking at Zeus.
Athena quickly flirted with Hermes, and Hermes immediately said: "The main gods presented a thoughtful congratulatory gift to Her Majesty, and I announce that the banquet has officially begun!"
The gods sighed in their hearts, if I knew it earlier, I wouldn't have asked...
Her Highness Aphrodite is so smart and cunning, there must be something wrong with what she refuses to say.
Zeus glared at Aphrodite and Hera one by one in embarrassment, and Hera rolled her eyes. The meaning was obvious. It was you who kept asking yourself what you didn't want to say out of concern for your face. Who is to blame!
Zeus held his breath, glanced at Aphrodite faintly, smiled suddenly, then withdrew his gaze, and stopped looking at him.
Aphrodite narrowed her eyes slightly, smelling something unusual from Zeus' attitude.
The Holy Fountain of Chastity sent by Aphrodite passed by in tacit understanding with everyone. Driven by Hermes, the banquet soon resumed its previous excitement.
Apollo stepped down from the throne in a leisurely manner, half lying on the bench, playing the lyre given by Hermes, looking handsome and coquettish.
Hestia took the initiative to walk to Artemis and Athena, and after communicating with the two goddesses, they held hands and danced together.
Aphrodite noticed the friendly relationship between Artemis and the two goddesses, but didn't take it seriously.
For Aphrodite, there are no permanent enemies. Even Zeus, who once coaxed him with sweet words and good looks.
It's just that the facts show that Zeus really can't give him a good face.
Aphrodite also stepped down from the throne, but he did not join the carnival of the gods, but came together with the same silent and alienated Hephaestus and Hades, and the three chatted sky.
Because after he was expelled by Zeus, Hades went directly to the underworld, so it was the first time for Aphrodite to deal with this Hades.
Hades has black hair and blue eyes, but unlike the clear blue eyes of the twin gods, Hades' eyes are a little darker, with a sense of icy gravity, and the color is closer to dark green.
Aphrodite's presumptuous gaze painted Hades' eyebrows bit by bit, but his face was beautiful, even if there was a hint of aggression in his eyes, it was difficult for the people he watched to feel bad for him.
Of course, discomfort is inevitable.
Hades' character was as calm as his appearance, he turned his cheeks slightly, his head drooped, and his loose black hair fell down, blocking Aphrodite's gaze: "Good day, Aphrodite Your Highness, we met for the first time, and we have known you for a long time."
Aphrodite was teased by Hades' greeting, and she smiled lowly: "Good day, Your Majesty Hades, speaking of it, I didn't expect you to come out of Hades to attend the wedding of the two Majesties."
Hades said calmly: "After all, they are all my younger siblings, and Zeus is the king of gods. If I don't come to congratulate, I will appear frivolous."
Aphrodite sighed softly: "It seems that His Majesty Pluto also has a lot of helplessness."
Hearing this, Hades suddenly laughed softly: "I'm fine. After all, I spend most of my time in Netherland. It's not as hard as His Royal Highness Aphrodite. I have to stay on the mountain and entangle with the king of the gods."
Aphrodite's heart moved, and she said with a smile that was not a smile: "Hearing what you said, your majesty, I suddenly felt a little longing for the peaceful life in the underworld. Your majesty, can you give me a temple in the underworld as my residence in the underworld ?"
Hades hesitated slightly: "I welcome Your Highness very much, but most of the gods and priesthoods in the underworld are related to death. You may not be used to it when you go, Your Highness."
Aphrodite raised her eyebrows and said with a smile: "Don't worry about this, Your Majesty. I have mastered the origin of winter. I once gave birth to a goddess of frost and death. I also have godheads related to the underworld. I think I can adapt to the environment there."
Hades looked surprised, does this god of beauty really want to go to Hades
Hades couldn't help turning around and looking up, carefully looking at Aphrodite's face.
And after he turned around, Aphrodite also saw the narcissus brooch on his chest, and her eyes suddenly lit up.
When Narcissus fell into the mirror world, a fresh and moving narcissus flower with white petals and yellow stamens grew on the lakeside where he was alive.
After seeing Hades' brooch, Aphrodite almost immediately thought of Narcissus, and immediately praised: "Your Majesty Hades, your brooch is very beautiful."
Hades frowned slightly: "Narcissus is my holy flower, do you like it too, Your Highness?"
When Narcissus is in front of her eyes, Aphrodite is always stingy with tenderness and pampering him. He will not fall in love with Narcissus, so she does not want to give him illusions and hopes.
But when Narcissus was not around, Aphrodite was much more lenient towards his reflection youth, just a similar narcissus made his stern eyebrows soften a bit in an instant: "It's quiet and refined, but plain and beautiful. This is my favorite flower."
Hades was slightly stunned: "I thought His Highness loved your holy flower rose..."
Hephaestus thought, I thought so too. He glanced at the daffodil in annoyance, firmly remembering Aphrodite's preferences.
Aphrodite smiled and said nothing about Narcissus.
Hades stared at Aphrodite's face, his brows were clear and his eyes sparkled, and when he looked at him, there was a strange feeling of being distracted. Hades felt that Aphrodite's comment on Narcissus might be more appropriate to describe himself.
Hades looked away, and the stuffy feeling of suffocation in his heart dissipated slightly, and he said uncomfortably: "Since your highness has a godhead related to the underworld, I will prepare a temple for your highness when I go back. If His Highness wants to, he can live there at any time."
Hephaestus said abruptly, "And me."
Aphrodite and Hades looked over, and Hephaestus quietly avoided Aphrodite's probing eyes, and said to Hades indifferently: "I am Vulcan... When the flame burns, as for the flame All life in the world will die tragically, I think I can also be the god of the underworld."
Hades glanced at him: "Anything, whatever."
It just so happened that he felt that there were few gods in the underworld, and he would be stupid to refuse if there were those who could catch up and wanted to help.
While several people were talking, Zeus and Gaia made some cryptic eye contact.
Then a nymph fairy came to Ares with a glass cup full of fresh and sweet juice, and filled it up for him.
Ares has been watching Aphrodite, carelessly raised the glass and drank the juice.
Afterwards, he looked at Aphrodite again, and his calm mood suddenly became agitated. Looking at Aphrodite, he felt that his mouth was extremely dry, and at the same time, fierce flames ignited from his lower abdomen.
He stared at Aphrodite eagerly with burning eyes, and only felt that Hades and Hephaestus next to him were extremely disgusting.
The anger was soaring that it directly burned Ares's sanity. He rushed to Aphrodite abruptly and grabbed Aphrodite's wrist.
Aphrodite, whose wrist was grasped, frowned slightly, looking up and down at Ares. His indifferent eyes were like ice water suddenly splashed on Ares's head, which made his dizzy mind regain his sanity for a short time.
But the passionate and eager emotion did not disappear from his heart. He desperately wanted to take Aphrodite away from this place, so that Hades and Hephaestus would not have the opportunity to pester him again.
Then the gods saw that Ares, the god of war, ran up to Aphrodite like a mad boar, but when he saw Aphrodite, he suddenly withered away, like a wild boar. The dejected rabbit, as if he had long ears, probably bent and fell to the ground at this moment.
And this listless rabbit didn't know what was going on madly, and with a worried face, he stumbled and said fierce words at Aphrodite: "Ah, ah, Aphrodite...you, you and me go over, I , I have something to tell you!"
Aphrodite stared at him for a few seconds, then turned her head and said goodbye to Hades and Hephaestus indifferently: "Your Highness, excuse me for a moment."
Then he looked at Ares again, and asked without emotion: "Your Highness, where do you want to talk to me?"
Ares swallowed, a little panicked. But the desire is still rising and burning, affecting his rationality.
After struggling for a few seconds, he asked anxiously: "My temple... no, the sleeping hall?"
The expressions of the gods immediately became subtle, and Hephaestus raised his head suddenly, staring at Ares with eyes full of hostility, with disgust and hatred shining brightly in his eyes.
Aphrodite had a half-smile, and her palm fell on Ares' shoulder, and then slowly slid down to his lower back. He patted it lightly, and Ares stiffened his back suddenly.
Aphrodite's tone was inexplicable, and she snorted: "The sleeping hall... oh, then let's go."
