Zongman: People in Chaldea, all the group members are wives

This is not Athena's fault, nor is it Lin Yi's fault.

It's just a different concept.

Different road non-phase plan.

They clearly have the same goal, but because of their different starting points, the relationship has become as awkward as it is now.

Lin Yi will not give in, and neither will Athena.

However, compared to the boy's rigidity, Athena's moral line is much more flexible.

She knew what Lin Yi was thinking, but she just didn't care.

I have said before that Athena only has herself in her eyes.

This is an extremely self-centered person.

Who cares about other people's feelings?

"No matter what you choose, Zoe, in the end, you will be destined to be the hero who defeats the White Giant."

"I can't be wrong."

Athena was smiling and still looked like she had everything under control.

Like a proud peacock, he will never admit his failure.

"As agreed, when you retrieve the armor from Hades, Zoe, I will help you plan the most grand wedding."

"Look forward to it. I will also be looking forward to the day when you fulfill your promise."

As the words fell, the goddess' figure quietly disappeared under the thoughtful or blank gazes of the gods.

The duel ended, Athena left, and the other gods followed suit.

Artemis didn't want to leave, but was dragged away by Apollo.

This left time for Lin Yi and Hephaestus.

"Crown of Hephaestus..."

Before she could even say hello, the red-haired goddess hugged the boy in front of her who was as delicate as porcelain but fragile.

She hugged him tightly, as if she was afraid that Lin Yi would disappear quietly like Athena and never come back.

Lin Yi's body stiffened for a moment, and then slowly relaxed.

Just as he was about to hug Hephaestus, he felt a sharp pain in his shoulder.

—Hephaestus bit his shoulder.

Maybe she was reluctant to do so. The goddess didn't really use much force, but just used this attitude to express her dissatisfaction.

"Why don't you take me with you?"

"You clearly know how dangerous this matter is, why do you want to take it on alone?!"

The goddess's question blocked the boy's words of comfort.

It's because it's dangerous that I can't take you with me, Hephaestus.

I am the same as you.

You don't want me to take risks alone, so how can I bear to let you accompany me to a dead end?

Mortals cannot lie to gods.

Naturally, the goddess sensed what Lin Yi was thinking.

She could no longer suppress the surging emotions in her chest and kissed him clumsily and forcefully.

Show your intentions.

——As long as I am with you, I am not afraid of anything.

Chapter 65: Eternal Vow! (Subscribe!)

[The goddess' kiss was not sweet because she was too emotional, or maybe she was really inexperienced.]

[It was inevitable that your lips were scratched, and the blood with a slight iron smell woke her up from her confusion.]

[Like a child who has done something wrong, staring at you pitifully and innocently. ]

[“Sorry Zoe, I…I really didn’t mean it…”]

[This is the first time you have seen the usually cold Hephaestus showing such a soft side.]

[She has the appearance of a queen, but her personality is like that of a naive loli. ]

[This should be considered a contrast of cuteness, right? ]

[It is said that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. In your eyes, Hephaestus's clumsiness is also very cute.]

[It's the golden mask that half covers the right side of his face that is too annoying.]

[You reach out and help her take it off: "Didn't we agree not to wear a mask anymore? You are very beautiful, Hephaestus, there is no need to feel inferior about it."]

【“No.”】

[Hephaestus lowered his head and stammered in a voice as soft as a mosquito: "I just don't want to show it to others... to others."]

[As if she was afraid that you wouldn’t believe her, she became excited and continued to swear, “I really don’t care anymore, really! For me, as long as you can appreciate my beauty, that’s enough! I don’t want to care about other people’s opinions!”]

[The goddess is unexpectedly simple, perhaps because she doesn't communicate with people very often, she always speaks with childishness and innocence.]

[However, this childishness and innocence will only be shown in front of you. ]

[In the eyes of the gods, Hephaestus has never changed. ]

[It is still the same cold and inhuman God.]

[You feel pity for her and hold her in your arms with your backhand, stroking her long, silky red hair with your other hand.]

【Calm Hephaestus' emotions. 】

[Gradually, she also relaxed, enjoying the rare peace and comfort. ]

[In your arms, Hephaestus feels safe. ]

[And now you are indeed qualified to protect her from the wind and rain. You are no longer the fragile boy who couldn't even beat a wild rabbit on the roadside. ]

[Hephaestus raised his head and quietly looked at your profile. ]

[As she watched, her vision gradually became blurry.]

【Time is really a great power. 】

[The baby at that time also grew up to be so handsome and reliable. ]

[Reaching out his hand and gently caressing your cheek, Hephaestus truly understands why humans seek mates.]

【Life is too long! 】

[When you grow up, you will always feel lonely, isolated and tired when you walk on a muddy road covered with thorns. 】

【Life is too short! 】

[It’s only a few decades before we have to say goodbye to our loved ones. 】

[This bitter and painful life is like a canvas, mostly black representing sadness, and rarely colorful representing happiness. ]

[But it is these few happiness that support everyone to continue to stagger forward in the midst of suffering. ]

[Hephaestus didn’t understand before. 】

【If it is so painful, why live? 】

Now she seems to understand.

[——Because, no matter how painful the road ahead is, no matter how sad the past is. Just thinking of that person, he has always loved you, has always had expectations for you, and has always been waiting for you to come home. ]

[When I look at you, my eyes light up. 】

【Then you will have nothing to fear! 】

[“As long as you are by my side, I am not afraid of anything.”]

[Hephaestus smiled sweetly, buried his little head in your arms, and greedily absorbed the warmth from your body.]

【The pain of the past is no longer important. 】

[She let go of the shadows of the past and chose to embrace the future. ]

[But before that, Hephaestus has one more thing he wants to ask. ]

[Looking up, the goddess who was always easy to fool became smart this time. 】

[She stares into your eyes and asks in a serious tone: "Zoe, what agreement did you make with Athena?"]

[“Why would she be so kind as to help us plan the wedding? What price would you pay in exchange for her help?”]

There is nothing good in the world without reason.

The same is true for Hephaestus himself.

If the young man had not broken into the forging room, there would have been no marriage between Lin Yi and the red-haired goddess.

Hephaestus didn't think Athena was a good person, nor did he think his reputation was so important that it was worth Athena helping Lin Yi so much!

so...................

There must be something I don’t know!

"Fate has already secretly marked a price behind all gifts! This is what you said, Zoe."

This time, Hephaestus was serious and would not be fooled.

She is actually very smart, but she has been stuck in a rut and hiding in her own little world and doesn't want to come out.

To put it bluntly, I just don't care.

Hephaestus doesn't even care about himself, so how can he care about others?

Now that her heart knot has been untied, the goddess's IQ has naturally returned to normal.

Come to think of it, Athena is indeed incredibly good to Lin Yi!

If someone doesn’t know her, they might think the boy is her illegitimate child!

Do not!

Even an illegitimate child is not worth Athena's efforts!

"Tell me, Zoe!"

"Tell me, what is the agreement between you and her?"

silence.

Still silent.

Lin Yi had to tell the truth.

"She will find a way to extend my life, but the price is.............."

"Three hundred years later, I became her treasure."

Three hundred years later, Zoe became Athena's treasure? ? ?

The pupils suddenly contracted and then quickly expanded.

The light in Hephaestus' eyes disappeared and became lifeless.

She did not blame Lin Yi, she just felt that she was incompetent!

If I were more powerful, if I could solve Zoe's life span problem, if I...

If, if, but there are not so many ifs in the world.

Even a being as powerful and great as a god cannot accomplish everything.

Otherwise, why were there so many demigods in Greece, but only a few like Hercules became gods?

The rest of them simply turned into constellations in the sky after their death.

To become a constellation is, after all, the same as being dead.
