Aphrodite beckoned to Cupid, and Cupid flew to the other side of Aphrodite, staring at Artemis, his eyes were very simple, and there was an inexplicable look in them , Artemis was very uncomfortable being looked at by him, and couldn't help but look away.
Aphrodite took Cupid's little hand and left with Artemis, walking towards the Temple of Eros.
But Zeus and Gaia, who had left, suddenly returned the same way, and after seeing their companions, they frowned and asked, "Artemis, when did your relationship with Aphrodite become so close? "
His eyes moved away from her holding Aphrodite's arm, his eyes were like lightning, extremely sharp.
Artemis's eyebrows were drooping, her face was exquisite, she stroked her long hair back to her shoulders, and said lightly: "Your Highness helped me obtain the Crescent Moon Godhead, I am very grateful to him, so I want to get closer to Your Highness, it's normal Alright, Father God has any doubts about this?"
Zeus didn't speak, his eyes turned around the two of them, and said lightly: "It's okay, my lovely daughter, your father just cares about you, but your words give me a bad feeling. It's sad, you know?"
Aphrodite asked: "Zeus, didn't you leave, why are you back?"
Zeus looked at Gaia, Gaia raised the corners of her lips and smiled, she said with a smile: "I need to find you, Zeus is just going to accompany me."
Gaia looked at Cupid, smiled and opened his arms to him: "Lovely Cupid, come to my arms. Obviously you have already taken the power of Eros, but the ice age has passed for so long, and you have always I never grew up, I... my great-grandmother was afraid that there was something wrong with you, so my great-grandmother wanted to take you for a checkup."
Cupid glanced at her vigilantly, then slowly descended and floated behind Aphrodite, only two pink hairs were exposed. The young god's childish voice came from behind his father god, and he said arrogantly: "I I don’t want to be checked by you, Father God doesn’t think there is anything wrong with me, I’m very normal!”
A cold light flashed in Gaia's eyes, Aphrodite looked at her fixedly, and said coldly: "Let's see in a while, if Cupid hasn't grown up yet, I'll take him to visit you in person , don’t worry about it now. After all, Cupid is a god, and he has a special background, and it seems normal that the situation is a little different, let’s observe it for a while.”
Gaia took a deep look at him and said meaningfully: "Aphrodite, sometimes I think you are really not a good father."
Zeus nodded approvingly.
Aphrodite sneered: "Maybe, but it doesn't matter, as long as Cupid doesn't care. Right, baby?"
Cupid immediately rubbed against him stickily and said, "Cupid loves God the Father the most~"
Aphrodite glanced at him with a smile, and pulled Artemis past them to leave. When passing by their shoulders, he nodded slightly: "Farewell first, both of you."
Gaia and Zeus looked at their backs, and their expressions gradually became gloomy.
Zeus looked at her and asked, "Aphrodite is a bit tight with Cupid, how can we get his golden bow?"
Gaia said indifferently: "What's the rush, there will always be a solution. But you, Aphrodite has repeatedly challenged your position, and you would scold him a few times before, but now you just accept your fate?"
Zeus murmured, "Aphrodite is too cunning. I'm afraid that I will draw his vigilance and defenses if I do anything casually, so I have to prepare a thorough plan before I do it."
"As for the provocation, don't worry about it." A gleam flashed in his eyes, and he said proudly: "If my plan can be implemented smoothly, he will be my best little baby in the future. Would you mind the little one you kept in captivity?" Does the sheep use its immature horns against you, hahahaha."
Gaia glanced at him speechlessly, and couldn't help but sarcastically said: "Lamb? Just don't accidentally play yourself as Aphrodite's bull."
Zeus stopped smiling embarrassingly, and glanced at her dissatisfiedly, annoyed in his heart, how could none of these goddesses be gentle and caring. Either it is as scary and pungent as Hera and Demeter, or it is as annoying as Gaia. Compared with them, Themis, who is incomprehensible, becomes more understanding...
Aphrodite didn't know about their conversation, and if he knew, he wouldn't care too much. He never let go of his vigilance against Zeus, although he sometimes seemed stupid.
Aphrodite and Aphrodite entered the Temple of Eros. Artemis was curious about the mirrors in his temple, and asked in confusion, "Your Highness, why are there so many mirrors in your temple?"
Aphrodite took away the extra mirrors, leaving only the mirror in front of her. Narcissus blended into it as a reflection, and appeared in front of the two of them.
Artemis stared blankly at himself and Aphrodite in the mirror, feeling something was wrong.
Aphrodite didn't want her to stare at the mirror for too long, so she took Cupid and her directly to the passage of the secret garden, and asked her to open the passage so that the two could walk into it.
Artemis obediently did so, secretly watching him while opening the passage.
Aphrodite chuckled, and said narrowly to her, "What are you staring at me for, is there something strange on my face?"
Artemis shook his head and said, "No...it's your mirror, it always makes me feel a little bit wrong."
Aphrodite made a look of interest: "Oh?"
A dazed expression appeared on Artemis's face, and she said hesitantly: "For some reason, I always feel that your reflection in the mirror is a bit different from you. I didn't feel it at first, but after seeing him, I saw him again and again. After seeing your face, the feeling suddenly became clear, and there was even a feeling that he was not you at all. It's a pity that I didn't have time to look at the mirror more... "
Aphrodite looked down at Cupid, and Cupid bit his finger and laughed, so he laughed too, and said softly, "That may be your illusion."
Artemis looked at him with green eyes blinking, feeling that His Highness was perfunctory. But his expression looks very serious...
Aphrodite walked into the garden with Cupid in her arms, saw that she was still standing there, and called to her, "Artemis?"
Artemis came back to her senses, and followed into the secret garden. She glanced at the Sun Temple, which was motionless, and sighed: "Apollo is still not well. I just asked Hermes to go to the Sun Temple. Will it take that long?"
Aphrodite was not in a hurry, and sat down on the grass with Cupid in her arms.
There are many small flowers growing in the grass, which are simple but elegant, clustered together one by one, giving them a little more vitality.
Cupid squatted down, picked one and stuck it in his hair, then raised his face shyly, put his hands on his knees obediently, and asked Aphrodite, "Father God, am I the most beautiful woman in the world?" Pretty kid?"
Aphrodite saw the little flower slipping down from his fluffy flower, hanging crookedly upside down on her ear, her brows and eyes were filled with a gentle smile, and said softly: "Of course, you are not only the most beautiful, He is also the most lovable and obedient child, whom God loves the most.”
Cupid immediately covered his mouth, trembling with a smile, obviously very happy, and the little flower fell completely with his movements, but the young god was so immersed in the praise of the father god that he didn't notice it at all.
Seeing this, Aphrodite raised her hand to pick a few flowers with stems and leaves, and wanted to weave a wreath for Cupid, but he didn't know how to weave it, so he didn't finish the wreath after tying a few knots. , so he had no choice but to bury the flowers in the grass again, pretending that there was no urge to do handwork here.
Only one was left, and he urged the flower to grow into a ring with divine power, and then he put that natural wreath on Cupid's head.
The wreath was too big, and Cupid was too small, so the wreath was finally worn on Cupid's neck.
The little immature childish god carved jade, looks very delicate and lovely, he lowered his head, looked curiously at the pink garland Father God made for him, after staring for a while, he suddenly pulled out a small flower, and then It was stuffed into the mouth with lightning speed.
Aphrodite's eyes widened, and then Cupid spit out the flowers again with a wrinkled face. He opened his mouth haha, stuck out his tongue, and said bitterly: "Father God!" , Huahua is so unpalatable..."
Aphrodite looked at him speechlessly, and after a while she said, "Cupid, flowers are not food, you can't eat them..."
This is the young god? What a cute little fool.
Artemis burst out laughing, under the sun above his head condensed by the divine power of Apollo, his smile was like a flower, his eyes were bright and dazzling, smart and beautiful.
She walked towards Cupid with her hands behind her back, and then squatted down in front of him. When her hands stretched out from her back, she held a bright red apple and a bunch of juicy apples with water still on the skin. Light purple grapes.
She smiled brightly and said, "Cupid, the gift from the Goddess of Nature is a crisp and sweet apple, and a bunch of delicious and juicy grapes."
Cupid immediately opened his eyes wide, exclaimed 'wow', and said happily, "Thank you sister!"
Then he took the red apple, and tiptoed to pick a grape and stuffed it into his mouth, staring at Aphrodite with sparkling eyes, exclaiming: "Father God, grapes are delicious! "
Artemis frowned, cupped his cheeks, and asked, "Cupid, why don't you spit out your skin?"
Cupid looked at her blankly, and Artemis' mood suddenly became more subtle. She peeked at Aphrodite and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, you have never given Cupid something to eat, have you?"
Aphrodite answered irrelevantly: "Gods don't need to eat."
So has this little young god really never eaten? Artemis looked at him pitifully.
Aphrodite thought for a while, and then said, "He has eaten pomegranates, but he can spit out the seeds."
Cupid secretly picked two more grapes and stuffed them into his mouth. While eating, he complained: "Father God, the black-haired God, he fed me pomegranates and watched me eat the seeds. Come out, if you don’t vomit, he also said that he will carry me upside down until I spit out the seeds~~嘤.”
Aphrodite looked away guiltily, and he covered his lips and coughed lightly, hiding his embarrassment. It was rare for Artemis to see this rather embarrassed side of him, his brows and eyes were bent into crescent moons, and smiles kept pouring out of his eyes.
She raised her hand to touch Cupid's hair. Cupid had already started to nibble on the apple, like a little hamster focused on eating, without raising his head. Pink sweet juice.
Artemis sighed: "However, I am not surprised that Your Highness did such a thing. Your desires have never been serious, and you don't seem to be interested in eating..."
Aphrodite picked a grape, and rolled the grape into her mouth with her dexterous tongue, with a concentrated expression, as if she was tasting its taste.
Artemis couldn't continue, she stared straight at Aphrodite's movements, at that moment, she almost disregarded her oath and wanted to rush forward to throw Aphrodite down...
She took a deep breath, lowered her head silently, and kept saying in her heart: 'Don't be impulsive, can't be impulsive, can't be impulsive...'
Her heartbeat was so strong that Aphrodite heard it.
Aphrodite glanced at her indiscriminately, with a thoughtful look in her eyes.
At this time, another voice came into Aphrodite's mind mixed with Artemis' heartbeat, it was Nemesis, and she was calling him.
[… Your Highness, the God Empress seems to be trying to wake me up, what should I do? ]
Aphrodite raised her eyes and asked, "Is there still no movement from Apollo?"
Artemis nodded hesitantly: "Your Highness, are you in a hurry?"
Aphrodite shook her head and said softly, "It's not in a hurry, but if it takes a while, I want to go and rest for a while."
Artemis said casually: "Then you go to rest. It doesn't matter if Hermes and Apollo are well, just let them wait for you to wake up. They have nothing to do anyway."
Aphrodite thought about it, but still felt that Hera's side was more important, so she said, "When they come, please explain to them for me, I will try to wake up as soon as possible."
Artemis nodded, and watched Aphrodite walk to the corridor covered with vines, leaning against a stone pillar with her eyes closed. He sat down facing her, and she couldn't see much of her face, only the elegant and straight arc of her back.
Cupid pulled her clothes, Artemis looked back at him, Cupid licked his lips, and said eagerly: "Sister, I want to eat something else~"
Artemis frowned, wiped the juice off his cheeks for him, thought for a while, and said, "Cupid, if there is a chance, may I take you hunting? Then I will roast your prey over fire, Spread sweet honey and delicious juice for you, okay?"
Cupid opened his eyes wide. Hearing this, he excitedly took out his golden bow of love and pretended to draw it. He said excitedly, "Okay, Cupid is the most powerful archer!"
Artemis, the goddess of hunting, slightly raised her eyebrows, looked at him and smiled without saying a word.
When Aphrodite woke up in Nemesis' body, he felt a familiar energy overflowing from 'her' mouth to all limbs.
Aphrodite frowned.
Hera carefully fed the life force from Aphrodite to 'Nemesis', waiting for her to wake up.
Soon, the goddess with a cold face moved. She wrinkled her delicate eyebrows and woke up from a deep sleep, struggling to sit up sideways.
Hera was overjoyed, and quickly supported 'her', and then saw 'Nemesis' slightly parting her lips, and her life force was actually forced out by 'her' again.
Hera became anxious immediately, grabbed 'her' wrist and asked sharply, "Nemesis, what are you doing?"
Aphrodite looked up at her, annoyed and funny, but a little touched in her heart.
What is this goddess thinking? Didn't it mean that this life force was used to conceive the Son of God for himself, but why did he give it to 'Nemesis'
No wonder she insisted on going back to the temple to take it...
If 'Nemesis' really took the life force, what will she do when the next son of God is born
'Nemesis' lowered his eyebrows, held the life force and asked, "Hera, what are you giving me?"
Hera squinted at her, snorted slightly, and tried to break the hand that 'her' was holding tightly, but her strength was no stronger than that of 'Nemesis'. This move ended in failure, and she had no choice but to say: "It's life." Power, given to me by Aphrodite. When the Phaethon disaster came, you fell into a deep sleep and was found by the dragon I sent."
Hera let go of 'her' slender wrist, and turned to caress 'her' cold white cheek, with obvious pity in her eyes: "I have been hiding you in the temple since then, and you have never woken up. That's why you got this life I thought of you after the strength, and fed it to you. Now you are finally awake."
Aphrodite snorted coldly in her heart, thinking, if 'Nemesis' really just woke up and didn't know anything about what happened, she might really think it was a coincidence. But he knew Herasuo's real purpose for life force, so how could he be coaxed by her.
'She' coughed lightly, and sat up a little bit. Hera saw this, her eyes became more worried, and she tried to break 'her' palms with both hands, but was pushed by 'Nemesis'. Pulled into the ice coffin that had sealed the body of 'Nemesis' before.
Hera fell in, and 'Nemesis' adjusted her position to the side so that she would not be squeezed because of this accident, but she couldn't move because of the small space.
'Nemesis' lowered her hand slightly, her black hair drooped like a cloud, and her scarlet eyes glowed lightly, 'she' asked: "Really? But I heard that your relationship with that Highness The friendship is very average and good, how could he give you such important strength? Or, you lied to me?"
Hera wanted to sit up but failed, and growled a little embarrassedly: "Nemesis, step aside, I want to sit up!"
'Nemesis' raised his eyebrows, he was noncommittal and did not move, just looking at her quietly.
After Hera pretended to stare at 'her', seeing that 'she' was unmoved, and couldn't really get angry with 'her', she could only turn off the flames in an embarrassing manner, and replied: "I have reconciled with him long ago. Yes, we even had a deal before, he had a priesthood of purification and said he would give it to me."
Hera glanced at 'her' lightly, and snorted coldly: "Nemesis, if you obediently get out of the way now, I'm in a good mood and can bestow the priesthood of purification on you."
Aphrodite is inexplicable: "I am the goddess of revenge, what is the use of purifying the priesthood?"
Hera was a little anxious, thinking that this goddess looks very shrewd, why is she a little silly? Did 'she' forget that she was knocked out by resentment before
But she didn't want to speak out directly, otherwise it would seem that she was thinking about 'her'.
So Hera closed her eyes, snorted coldly, and ignored 'her'.
'Nemesis' glanced at her with a half-smile, neither anxious nor annoyed, while she was closing her eyes, pinched her chin, stuffed the life force into her lips, and let her swallow it directly.
Feeling the pure energy crazily filling her body, Hera opened her eyes immediately, angrily, and said angrily, "Nemesis, do you know what you're doing?"
'Nemesis' raised his lips and chuckled: "I know, I'm giving you what I think is good."
Hera's breathing was stagnant, and the blush was very obvious on her fair cheeks. She murmured speechlessly: "What... I am the Queen of God, and I will definitely like what you, a second-class god, think good."
After finishing speaking, she slowly frowned, her palms fell on her belly, the blush slowly faded, replaced by weak paleness.
'Nemesis' picked her up, and Hera snuggled into 'her' arms weakly, and murmured in a low voice: "I might be about to give birth... it's all your fault, if you didn't give me life force After eating, I won't suddenly be unable to suppress her."
"Her? Is this your goddess?" 'Nemesis' asked softly.
Hera looked uncomfortable for a moment, she lowered her head a little, and said: "It's a goddess... I don't know how she conceived it, I just picked the flowers of the golden apple tree."
'Nemesis' was not interested in how she conceived the goddess, and said softly: "Your daughter must be as beautiful and dazzling as you, noble and extraordinary. I really look forward to her birth."
Hera frowned and pushed 'her' away, and said lightly: "It's not your daughter, why are you looking forward to her birth so much?"
Aphrodite looked at her in astonishment, and said subconsciously: "But she is your daughter..."
Hera narrowed her eyes slightly, and the cold light in her eyes dissipated a little, but her face was still pale.
Aphrodite was quite speechless, and after a moment of silence, she continued: "But she seems to have made you suffer."
'She' frowned, seeming to be a little dissatisfied, Hera's expression became a little more cheerful, and the corners of her lips curled up slightly: "That can't be helped, childbirth is a very painful thing..."
'Nemesis' gently held her hand, trying to send some power to her, but Hera pushed her away with a frown.
Hera urged: "I feel that she is about to be born, you go away first, don't let her see you."
'Nemesis' pursed her lips slightly: "I will wait until you are safe and sound before leaving."
Hera said impatiently: "Then she will see you, do you want Zeus to discover your existence? If he knows, knows..."
She was vague for a moment, and kept urging her to make her words clear, "Anyway, if he finds out about you, I won't do anything, but you're going to be finished, hurry up and go away."
'Nemesis' had no choice but to leave at her request. But she didn't really leave, but turned into a crow and hid outside her window lattice, paying attention to the movement here.
And Hera didn't know if she noticed that 'she' didn't leave. After 'she' flew out, she suddenly pulled a piece of veil and made it fall in front of the window lattice, blocking the view inside the temple.
Aphrodite only heard a very soft crooning, and after a while, he sensed the birth of a new goddess, her name was Hebe, the goddess of youth.
After sensing Hebe's priesthood, Aphrodite took a deep breath in her heart.
youth
Youth is the strongest period in a person's age group, and it also symbolizes the most energetic period in life.
Not only life, but beauty is also closely related to youth. People in youth have the most perfect skin luster and firmness.
There is no one who loves beauty who does not want to stay young forever, and youth often goes with beauty.
Aphrodite flapped her wings tremblingly and flew away from the Queen's Temple, then opened her eyes in the secret garden, and sat there in a daze.
He had a premonition... no, he was sure, thinking about how Hera conceived Hebe, and next, Hebe's life experience would probably be involved with him, and it was unclear.
In fact, not only outsiders, but also Aphrodite was a little skeptical. It is very abnormal to feel pregnant by touching flowers. If you can feel pregnant by touching flowers, you may also feel pregnant by other breaths.
Could it be that he accidentally left something behind when he picked that golden apple? Otherwise, why is Heber's priesthood so closely related to his priesthood
Cupid was completely ignorant of the complicated thoughts of the Father God, and flew over holding a big wreath, which Artemis taught him to weave.
He smiled and put the handmade wreath around Aphrodite's neck, happily sat on Aphrodite's lap, fiddled with his natural wreath, and said happily: "Father God, Cupid, the same!"
