The aliens who were picked up by Superman at the beginning

Chapter 231 Negotiation is possible

Li Zhenhao almost forgot to dwell on the specific cause of her death.

I almost got fooled by Diana's series of astonishing remarks.

Diana led her to a room that was open on all sides and supported by four white marble pillars with relief stones, resembling a pavilion. Li Zhen first looked around, suppressed her doubts about the room, and asked again.

"Professor Prince, why do I feel like you were intentionally preventing me from continuing to investigate the truth behind my death?"

Diana hesitated slightly, but seeing that no one was around, she explained to Li Zhen anyway.

"Your personality has a somewhat vengeful feel to it, and since you haven't truly become a demigod yet, harboring negative emotions such as resentment or fear will interfere with the purity of your spirit at this moment."

What the heck?!

Li Zhen was greatly surprised, never expecting that her death was indeed suspicious.

However, he didn't necessarily have to be inappropriately curious, so he had to approach it from other angles.

"Am I not a demigod yet?"

"Logically speaking, from the moment you made your choice, Zeus should have bestowed upon you the true status of a demigod, but you have always shown such a resistant attitude, so Zeus is probably—"

Diana didn't say the rest, but Lee Jung probably knew it was something like "the abbot is petty."

However, due to Diana's own status and her current location in the realm of the Olympians, she could not speak directly.

"Well, when can I return to reality? I still need to tell Rachel about this, otherwise she'll be heartbroken."

Diana hesitated for a moment, then said she would think of a solution herself.

Watching Mr. Prince stride away, Li Zhen plopped down on the large bed in the middle of the stone pavilion.

He subconsciously lifted his hips and gave them a jolt.

The elastic feedback is fantastic; someone who didn't know better might think there was a plastic doll underneath.

It can only be said from the details that the Olympian pantheon is now in some ways in line with human society and keeping up with the times.

Leaving aside the strange house that resembles a gazebo and the classical marble-carved headboard, tables, and chairs, the bed is actually covered with a Simmons mattress from the human world.

And those big white blankets and pillows were quite soft to the touch.

"This is the pavilion that's drafty on all four sides! Holy crap, those four sheer curtains that flutter in the wind... could they be the walls of this building?!"

"Is there anything wrong with this design?"

A familiar voice rang out, and Li Zhen quickly turned her head, only to see Hercules' large face.

The guy was standing on a flower-lined path behind the pavilion, grinning at me.

"It's really bad in terms of privacy! It's inconvenient to take off your clothes even when you're sleeping."

Li Zhen replied irritably.

Hercules looked visibly confused.

He walked straight over without asking Li Zhen if she could come in, and lifted the thin veil to walk to the bedside.

"This was specially designed so that when you exercise with your partner, all the Olympian gods passing by can see your heroic posture."

Hercules gestured towards the large white mattress under Li Zhen's bottom.

"Sometimes you have to admit that the human world can come up with some unexpectedly good things. This thing is super elastic and amplifies the degree of your body's undulations when you exercise. Many gods have praised this design."

Li Zhen was dumbfounded, almost swaying from the shock of Hercules's earth-shattering statement.

"No?! So this really is a house, and it was intentionally designed this way?"

Hercules completely ignored Li Zhen's scream, lost in his own fantasy.

As he continued describing, he gestured wildly to Li Zhen.

"Brother, imagine this: when someone walks by from this side of your house, yes, right in front of it, they can just see your incredibly well-developed, angular back muscles rising and falling—"

"Stop! Stop! I fucking said stop!"

Li Zhen felt that the ears were indeed the ultimate weakness of the Vitrum people. Before Hercules could say more than a few words, he wished he could burst his eardrums.

Actually, Hercules' description wasn't anything too outrageous; Li Zhen had seen far more sensational things in her previous life.

However, Hercules was a formidable opponent. He was dressed in standard ancient Greek attire, wearing a large rectangular white cloth draped over his shoulders and a gold ribbon around his waist.

Imagine a scantily clad, muscular man standing by your bedside, giving you a lewd description of a sport that Earthlings typically engage in at night, describing it vividly and in great detail, with an air of pure ecstasy.

This is absolutely outrageous.

Hercules stopped talking, still wanting more, and looked at Li Zhen's unprecedentedly terrified expression, finding it even harder to understand.

"Don't you think this is beautiful?"

Li Zhen covered her face in anguish.

"Please stop talking. I just want some peace and quiet before I go back to Earth."

"Okay, then you should get some rest."

Hercules, looking somewhat unsatisfied, lifted the sheer curtain and walked outside.

"You should get some rest."

Once Hercules' figure disappeared into the flowerbed, Li Zhen wiped away non-existent cold sweat from her forehead and lay down on the bed.

However, before he could actually close his eyes and rest, Diana's voice rang out again.

"I've found Hermes for you; he has a way to help you give Rachel a hint."

Li Zhen perked up and jumped out of bed.

Hermes looked exactly the same as when Li Zhen last saw him; he hadn't even changed his clothes.

A pair of jet-black eyes, like black gemstones, stared indifferently at Li Zhen. When she spoke, her tone was still stiff and cold.

"Zeus is not holding your previous offense against you. It's just that Olympus has not seen the birth of a new god for many years, not even a demigod, so he has not immediately prepared your divine office and authority."

Li Zhen blinked and spread her hands.

"Well, actually I'm not in a hurry about that. I just want to know how I can get back to Earth as soon as possible, or to let my family know that I'm not completely dead."

Hermes paused for a moment, his two small wings on his ankles flapping rapidly.

"It can be done anytime."

"If you wish to travel among mortals, you can project a body specifically designed for mortal travel, just like other gods descend to the mortal realm. According to the rules of the divine realm, this body is allowed to retain up to one-tenth of your strength. However, since you have no divine authority or office, your body does not currently have much divine power available."

"If you want to notify your family, it's even simpler. When they are directly watching your physical body, I will guide your body to the divine realm. The moment they see your body being taken away by divine power, you can talk to them for a few seconds."

Li Zhenteng stood up abruptly.

"Then I would like to trouble the two divine messengers to prepare for me, two first, then one—by the way, can you really create a body that is one-tenth the size of my body?"

Hermes finally showed some expression.

Her pale face first furrowed her brows, seemingly ashamed and angry at Li Zhen's questioning, before responding coldly.

"Without divine authority or power, just a mortal body, I can easily..." Li Zhen watched as large beads of sweat rolled down Hermes' forehead.

The divine messenger's expression shifted abruptly from cold arrogance to awkward stiffness.

"Well, your body needs at least one sunrise and sunset to fully recover."

"Damn, this has been going on for far too long. If all else fails, I'll just have an ordinary human body."

"No! Although gods will not die if their physical bodies are destroyed when they descend to the mortal realm, the easy death of any god in the mortal world would damage the dignity of the gods!"

Li Zhen panicked immediately. With one sunrise and one sunset, Rachel might cry herself blind.

Under Diana's horrified gaze, he grabbed Hermes by the collar.

"You were so confident just now, but now you're spouting nonsense to me?"

Hermes knew he was in the wrong, so he wasn't angry at all.

"How about I build you a body containing one-thousandth of the power within you?"

"Stop negotiating, just do it to the extent you can accept, and get it done now!"
