The Journey to the Other World Starting from Douluo.

Chapter 666 Ais's Request, NTR, Loki's Despair and Plea!
After saying this, Loki waved to Ais, who was standing to the side.

Once Ais was standing beside him, Loki took her hand and looked at Hestia with a troubled expression, saying:
"We didn't come here on any important business this time. It was mainly at the request of our beloved Ais."

"I don't know what happened, but after Ais went to the dungeon about two weeks ago, she insisted on coming to see you these past few days. When I asked her why, she wouldn't say, so I had no choice but to bring her here to see you..."

"Just for this little thing?"

Hestia stared wide-eyed at Loki in disbelief:

"Seriously, couldn't you have waited until tomorrow to find me? Why do you have to look for me now? Don't you know I just got back? I'm so tired, okay?! Are you really not afraid I'll collapse from exhaustion?!"

"Forehead……"

Perhaps feeling a little embarrassed himself, Loki couldn't help but show an awkward expression after hearing Hestia's question, and quickly explained:

"Actually, I told her I'd come tomorrow, but Ais wouldn't have it and insisted on coming now, so I had no choice..."

"Heh, so you had no choice but to bring her along?"

Hearing Loki's words, Hestia gritted her teeth in hatred, and said, each word seemingly squeezed out from between her teeth:
"You really spoil her!"

You are amazing, you are arrogant!

You're using my rest time to curry favor with your own clan.

If I weren't afraid you'd expose my dirty secrets, I'd fucking expose you!

"..."

Seemingly sensing Hestia's impending explosion, Loki dared not speak further, fearing he might truly provoke her and cause her to explode at him without restraint.

If that's the case, then she'll really have nowhere to cry.

Because if Hestia really went against her and chose to die together, she would be the one who would suffer the most.

After all, the gods already knew very well what kind of person Hestia was.

Therefore, when Hestia's scandals spread, the gods at most glanced at them as amusement, remarked that Hestia's scandals had increased, and then probably forgot about them soon afterward.

But she's different. Compared to Hestia, who already has a lot of scandals circulating about her, she herself doesn't have much scandal to her name.

As the saying goes, scarcity makes things valuable!

If her scandals are really exposed, given the rarity of these scandals and the immense reputation and status of the Loki Familia, the impact will be almost unimaginable.

After all, he's a master of entertainment; those who know, know!

By then, these scandals will surely circulate widely and for a long time. Perhaps by then, Hestia's scandals will pale in comparison to her own...

Thinking of this, Loki couldn't help but shudder.

After all, intelligent life forms are hypocritical, and even Loki, a god, is no exception.

She enjoys watching others have fun, but doesn't like being the subject of their amusement; she enjoys exposing other people's dirty secrets, but can't accept others exposing hers; she enjoys bullying short people, but can't accept being bullied by them...

"Alright, I think I understand now. You two are really something, is it really worth it for something like this?"

After listening to their conversation, Wu Tong waved his hand speechlessly.

They made such a big fuss over something as simple as taking a break; anyone who didn't know better would think something serious had happened.

I'm speechless...

"Yeah, Sister Hestia, I thought something had happened to you, but it turns out it's just this?"

Umaru finally realized what was happening and shook her head helplessly.

She really thought something had happened to Hestia.

Is this the result?

What a waste of her feelings!
With that in mind, Umaru didn't want to waste any more time. She looked at Hestia and began to advise her:

"Alright, Hestia, if you have time to be angry here, you might as well hurry up and resolve their issues, then go and get some rest!"

"Sulking here only wastes your own and others' time; it serves absolutely no purpose!"

"call……"

Seemingly finding Umaru's words to be reasonable, Hestia took a deep breath and composed herself.

Then, Hestia turned to look at the girl beside Loki, who had been staring intently at her but hadn't uttered a single word:
"Ais Warren... Warren what was it again?"

"Fine, I'll just call you Warren so-and-so!"

sweat!
Upon hearing this title, everyone except Wu Tong, who already knew about it, felt ashamed.

Mr. Warren.

Lady Hestia, are you serious?

Loki, standing nearby, immediately corrected him, "It's Ais Wallenstein!"

"Also, little dwarf, if your memory isn't good, just call me by my first name! Why are you always thinking about my last name?"

"Mr. Warren, what do you want with me?"

Hestia completely ignored Loki's correction, choosing to disregard it entirely.

Hilarious! You just pissed me off and now you dare to yell at me? You've really got some nerve!

Not only did Hestia ignore Loki, but Ais also ignored the loud and boisterous Loki.

After selectively ignoring Loki beside her, Ais walked straight to Hestia, and under Loki's incredulous gaze, bowed deeply to Hestia, then said:
"Lady Hestia, I want to become stronger, please help me!"

"what?!!!"

Hearing Ais's words, Hestia was completely dumbfounded:

"Warren, are you mistaken? Why are you asking me to become stronger? I'm just an ordinary god whose divine power has been sealed!"

"No, you definitely have a way to help me become stronger. If I remember correctly, your clan members were all level 1 just half a month ago, but now there are already several who can pose a threat to me."

Recalling the glimpse of the Hestia Familia when she first entered the dungeon half a month ago, she glanced at Hiratsuka Shizuka and the others who were now standing not far away, chatting and laughing.

At this moment, Ais's eyes were shining with an unprecedented light.

To be honest, she had never seen a clan grow so fast.

If only one member of the Familia were growing at such a rapid pace, it could be explained by skills or magic. But this is not just one person; the entire Hestia Familia is growing at such an astonishing rate.

This already explains a lot; at the very least, the Hestia Familia must have mastered a method that allows adventurers to accelerate their growth.

It was precisely because she realized this that Ais, who had an unimaginably stubborn attitude towards improving her strength, could not forget Hestia.

Just a few days ago, when she was about to pay a visit, she found that Hestia was out, so she temporarily put aside her plans. But this was only temporary. As soon as she learned that Hestia had returned, she immediately grabbed Loki and rushed here, hoping to obtain a method to accelerate the growth of Hestia's Familia.

As long as her growth rate is as fast as these people's, no, even if it's only one-tenth of theirs, Ais will be able to grow up at the fastest speed.

When that time comes, black dragons? Monsters? ...What kind of things are those?

"Since you were able to transform them from ordinary people into such capable individuals in just half a month, you can certainly help me become stronger too!"

After saying this, Ais seemed afraid that Hestia wouldn't help her, so she lowered her head, thought for a moment, and then added:

"I'm willing to give anything to make me stronger!"

"Are you willing to do anything?"

Upon hearing this, Hestia, who was originally about to refuse Ais on the grounds that it involved clan secrets and was inconvenient to disclose, paused and became somewhat tempted.

Putting aside the issue of aptitude, the mere fact that this child held such a high place in Loki's heart was enough to tempt Hestia, who harbored resentment towards Loki at the moment.

If she could manage to recruit Ais into her own familia, then Loki's expression would be...

Hehe, just thinking about it makes me excited!

"Yes, I'll do anything to make you stronger!"

Hearing Hestia's question, Ais repeated it again, her expression serious and earnest.

Before coming here, Ais had already prepared herself mentally and made up her mind.

To fight the Black Dragon! For revenge! Whatever Hestia asks, she will agree.

Even if it is...

"If I asked you to switch sects and join my clan, and grow up in my clan, would you be willing?"

Upon hearing Ais's promise again, Hestia finally couldn't resist the urge to see Loki have his fun.

So he immediately brought up this question to Ais, a question that Loki felt like he was about to collapse upon hearing it.

Of course, this is just a joke. Although Hestia and Loki don't get along, they have developed feelings for each other after so many years. They can be described as a pair of bickering lovers!

Therefore, Hestia had no interest in poaching Loki.

What she wanted to see most right now was Loki's devastated expression...

If not, then just as Hestia had guessed.

Upon hearing this, Loki, who was standing next to Ais, widened his eyes as if he were looking at a cat that had stolen fish, and protectively shielded Ais behind him with a wary expression.

(Loki: There's a cow! There's a cow!)

At the same time, Loki glared fiercely at Hestia with her revealed crimson eyes, then nervously looked at Ais and said:

"Ais, you won't agree, will you..."

"..."

Seeing Loki's tense expression, Ais paused for a moment, seemingly recalling the happy times she spent with Loki's Familia.

However, the dazed look in Ais's eyes quickly vanished as she thought of her parents' deaths, replaced by a resolute expression that made Loki uneasy.

"I'm sorry, Loki, I have my reasons for needing the power..."

After a long silence, Ais apologized to Loki, then turned to Hestia, who was staring at Loki with a pleased expression, and said firmly:
"Goddess Hestia, I am willing to undergo the conversion ceremony and join your kin!"

If it were any other family, even the Zeus and Hera family, who were at the pinnacle of Orario a few years ago, and they wanted Ais to switch allegiance, Ais would refuse without hesitation!

But the Hestia Familia in front of them was different.

For Ais, who wanted to quickly improve her strength and slay the black dragon to avenge her parents.

The Hestia Familia, with its methods that allow its members to grow rapidly, is as alluring as a small black hole.

Therefore, Ais finds it hard to refuse this request!

"Aaaaaaaaaaaa!!!"

Upon hearing Ais's answer, Loki immediately let out a scream like a groundhog.

what happened?

She just brought Ais out to tease Hestia, didn't she?

How did I end up losing my Ais while playing?

No, I absolutely cannot accept this!

Thinking of this, Loki grabbed Ais's wrist tightly, so tightly that the white marks on his fingertips were clearly visible.
"No! Ais!! You can't leave us!!! How can I live without you, Ais!"

"Loki, I'm sorry..."

Although Loki's expression looked particularly comical at that moment, Ais could still sense his reluctance to part.

However, no matter how Loki tried to persuade her, it had no effect on Ais, who had already made up her mind.

After all, Ais's stubbornness is well-known within the Loki Familia.

Once Ais has made up her mind about something, she will never give up until it is achieved, even if she suffers setbacks!

Loki clearly understood this as well, so he was unwilling to let go of Ais's hand, fearing that if he did, Ais would be gone!

……

As we all know!

Humans are emotional beings.

The tragic scene that Loki and Ais displayed at this moment immediately resonated with the onlookers (members of the Hestia Familia).

The women glanced at the emotional Ais and Loki, then turned to look at Hestia, who was watching the spectacle with obvious delight, and began to whisper among themselves:
"Wow, Loki looks so pitiful!"

"Hmm...it's really quite pitiful. I have a feeling that Lady Hestia has become a bit scary these days..."

"Yes, yes, that's true. It seems I can't make Hestia angry anymore..."

"Hey, don't you guys think this scene looks a lot like a scene in a TV drama where a woman is forcibly taken away?"

"Huh?!?"

"You know what, you really do know! If you look at it this way, it really is exactly like what happens in TV dramas!"
