As she spoke, Aphrodite fixed her gaze on Jason and chuckled, "And the reason, if I'm not mistaken, is because of him, right?"
Seeing this, Jason stood up instinctively... Although Jason still felt quite regretful at the moment, after all, such gossip opportunities were extremely rare.
"Yes, Goddess Aphrodite, this time it is indeed me who has taken the liberty to ask Mr. Hephaestus to invite you, the goddess, over here..."
As he spoke, Jason told his purpose in detail.
After all, there is no need to hide it deliberately.
"That's the thing. I wonder if you, Goddess Aphrodite..."
Before Jason could finish his words, Aphrodite interrupted him and said, "Yes, I can promise to accompany you to the underworld."
Jason was slightly stunned and looked at Aphrodite with a little surprise. He obviously didn't expect that she would agree directly.
"What do you want to do?" Hephaestus continued to remain vigilant and looked at Aphrodite.
Aphrodite smiled slightly and waved to Jason.
Seeing this, Jason couldn't help but look at Hephaestus, and then he stepped forward and was caught by Aphrodite and pulled to her side.
"Do you need a reason to help your students?" Aphrodite asked Jason to bend down, pinched his cheek, and said with a smile.
"He is not your student, he is mine!" Hephaestus opened his eyes wide.
"Your students, aren't they my students? ... Child, from today on, you have to call me Master's Wife. Do you understand?"
Aphrodite said, giving Jason a wink.
Seeing this, Jason really didn't know what to say. He turned around and looked at Hephaestus. He was slightly stunned and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly.
Because Hephaestus was very angry now, and to be honest, it was the first time that Jason saw Hephaestus gritting his teeth.
Normally, Hephaestus gave Jason the feeling of being an extremely gentle goddess sister, making Jason always want to act coquettishly towards her, but now...
Aphrodite was obviously teasing Teacher Hephaestus, but... wasn't it said that their relationship was bad?
While Jason felt amused, he also glanced at Aphrodite suspiciously, feeling a little puzzled.
But in fact, no matter what, the chance of Aphrodite rejecting Jason is extremely small, because Aphrodite herself has heard a lot about Jason.
She is different from the invisible Queen Hera. Aphrodite knows everything Jason has done and the tributes he has offered to the gods.
So from the very beginning, she was full of curiosity about Jason.
Just like Hera, the Queen of Heaven, and the mother of Zeus, the second-generation Queen of Heaven, Rhea, who walked out of Mount Olympus to see Jason out of curiosity.
Strong curiosity naturally drives this goddess of beauty to follow Jason and satisfy her curiosity.
"But as far as I know, the underworld is not a place where you can enter and exit at will..."
Before the goddess of beauty Aphrodite could finish her words, Jason said, "That's okay, Goddess Aphrodite... ahem, Master's Wife."
As he spoke, Jason took out the white chess piece that had been given to him by the primordial god, Erebus, the god of darkness, and said, "I have already gone to the great god of darkness, Erebus, and have received his approval.
I also told Lord Hades, the God of the Underworld, and Lord Thanatos, the God of Death, and they got their permission.
Therefore, Master Aphrodite, you only need to hold it, and you can freely enter and exit the underworld... However, it seems that you can only freely enter and exit once."
"Is that so... What is this?"
Hearing Jason say the name of the God of Darkness so naturally, Aphrodite couldn't help but look at Jason subconsciously, and then considering Jason's relationship with Hecate, the goddess of roads, she didn't say anything.
He took the white chess piece and asked casually.
"This is a chess piece, my tribute to Tartarus, the god of the abyss."
So Jason replied casually.
Now, even Hephaestus looked at Jason in surprise.
Although she knew that Jason had a different relationship with Typhon, the ancestor of all demons, she didn't know that Jason also had a different relationship with Tartarus, the god of the abyss.
In fact, not to mention Hephaestus, Hecate's expression was extremely strange when she saw Jason interacting so naturally with the primitive gods a few days ago...
"A tribute... Come on, little Jason."
Aphrodite gently rubbed the white chess piece in her hand and said with a smile, "Are you ready for your tribute to me, your master's wife?"

PS: First chapter today.
Chapter 3: Farewell to Hermes, the Messenger of the Gods (k)
The trip went very smoothly.
The goddess of beauty Aphrodite directly agreed to Jason's request without even asking for any reward... unless you count the final speech asking for tribute.
Although Jason has already paid tribute to more than half of the Olympian gods, nearly half of the gods are still waiting for his tribute.
When Jason thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a slight headache.
However, although the tribute is a headache, fortunately the return gift is generous.
So after agreeing on a time with the goddess of beauty Aphrodite, Jason left the temple of Hephaestus.
The time for Persephone to return to the underworld is getting closer and closer, and Jason can no longer sit idle, it is time to take action.
However, when Jason left, he found that the goddess of beauty Aphrodite had no intention of leaving the Temple of Hephaestus for the time being... This aroused Jason's curiosity.
Although finding out about the goddess is seeking death.
But after all, this is the matter between his teacher and his mistress, so Jason really wants to know what will happen next...
In short, after leaving the temple of Hephaestus, Jason did not go directly to the underworld.
Instead, he called out the name of a god, and after staying in the human world for several days, he successfully met him at noon one day.
"This is really rare."
Demeter, the messenger of the gods, wearing short sleeves and a feather hat, came to Jason, who was sitting like a beggar pheasant.
"Jason, you actually come to me on your own initiative... Mm, it smells so good. I've heard that you're a good cook, Jason. Looks like I'm in for a treat today."
Looking at Jason who was sprinkling sauce on the prepared pheasant, Hermes, who had rushed over because of Jason's prayer, said with his eyes shining slightly.
"Then, Master Hermes, I'll trouble you to wait a moment... But, actually, it's almost over."
As he spoke, Jason took out the lotus leaves that he had prepared long ago, wrapped them in layers, and then wrapped them again with yellow mud under the curious gaze of Hermes.
Finally, it was placed in the firewood pile on the side and simmered until cooked.
"interesting."
Hermes watched Jason finish and couldn't help but smile and said, "This is the first time I've seen such a special method... What is it called?"
"This is called Beggar's Chicken. As for its taste... I think it won't disappoint you, Master Hermes!"
Jason seemed very confident at this moment.
This made Hermes look at Jason with some surprise.
You have to know that this can be regarded as a tribute to the gods, and given Jason's character, he would actually say it so absolutely, which shows that he is really confident about it.
Well, after all, this is the confidence coming from a foodie in China!
"Really? Even you say so. That's really exciting." Hermes said, licking his lips, obviously his curiosity was aroused.
"So Jason, what's the matter with you calling me? ...If I remember correctly, this is the first time you've approached me?"
Hearing this, Jason couldn't help but look a little embarrassed.
This was indeed the first time that Jason took the initiative to find Hermes, but it was not Jason's fault. Jason had discovered that nothing good would happen whenever he met Hermes... But right now, he did have something to ask Hermes.
"Actually, Lord Hermes, I'd like you to help spread the news that Lord Hades, the God of the Underworld, will officially marry Persephone in two months."
As Jason spoke, the two of them went to sit under the shade of a tree.
Pegasus took Jason's place, guarding the beggar's chicken that was being cooked.
"Announce it?" After sitting down, Hermes looked at Jason, "Which side, the gods or..."
"It's the human side... But it's better to wait for me for two days, I still have some things to do." Jason said hesitantly, and a strange look flashed in Hermes' eyes.
"You still have something to do...what is it?" Recalling the tributes Jason offered to the gods along the way, Hermes asked curiously.
"Well... I'm not happy with what you said, Lord Hermes. Actually, I originally planned to have you inform the humans only, but now... I think I might consult Lord Hades and send you a wedding invitation."
"Wedding invitation?" Hermes looked at Jason in confusion.
"Yes." Jason nodded, "I invite you to visit the underworld on your wedding day..."
After hearing these words, Hermes was stunned.
"Jason, do you know what you are saying?" Then Hermes' expression became serious.
"Do you really think that the gods can enter and leave the underworld as long as Hades, the god of the underworld, agrees?!"
"No, Lord Hermes, I know that if the gods want to enter or leave the underworld, they not only need the consent of Hades, the king of the underworld, but also the consent of the gods of the underworld and Erebus, the original god of the underworld."
"Huh, you actually knew that?" Hermes was stunned and swallowed the words he was about to say.
"Hmm... I think we can do it, if it's just for one day." Jason whispered, "Because everyone is actually quite easy to talk to."
"...quite easy to talk to?" Hermes looked at Jason with a strange expression, then he seemed to have thought of something and said to Jason: "Could it be that you have already met Erebus, the god of darkness?
And you got permission from him and the gods?"
Jason nodded, and under Hermes' surprised gaze, he said, "But there is only one. I invited Master Aphrodite..."
"Master's wife?" Hermes grasped the key point.
"Slip of the tongue, it's the goddess Aphrodite..."
"Master's wife?" Hermes stared at Jason.
"Well...it was Master Aphrodite who told me to call her that."
Hearing this, Hermes blinked and instantly glanced towards the opposite side of the Temple of Hephaestus.
There was a gossipy look in his eyes!
"Wait, wait, wait, you almost got me around... Why did you invite Aphrodite to the underworld?"
Then he looked away and asked Jason.
Jason then explained the reason.
"I see... But Jason, going through one god and all the gods of Olympus are two different things. Are you really going to try?"
Hermes looked at Jason seriously.
Jason also knew what Hermes meant, and this action might anger the gods of the underworld.
But after some hesitation, Jason nodded to Hermes.
“Why?… You should know that this is an act that does not pay off.”
"Because Persephone is my sister and Hades is my brother-in-law."
Jason's answer was also very simple, but it was precisely because of this simple answer that Hermes looked at Jason in a daze for a while.
After all, this isn't a lie.
"...Wait a minute, little Jason, I suddenly realized something."
Jason looked at Hermes in confusion. Hermes rubbed his chin with his hand and said to Jason, "You brought romance to Artemis, the goddess of the moon. You made a thousand-year commitment to Hephaestus and became her student. You brought Apollo, the god of light, back from the underworld. You defeated the hundred-headed dragon Ladon, the god of war.
And now you're preparing to make a big move for Hades...
Hey, Jason, when I think about it, the tribute you offer me seems to be the least worth mentioning!
Jason was stunned for a moment, then blinked at Hermes, who was staring at him. After thinking hard for a while, he said, unable to lie, "Well, isn't there also the harp of the goddess Athena..."
"So you mean that you are not going to offer any tribute to Athena except the harp?" Hermes smiled at Jason.
Jason fell silent, and then...
"Ah, Master Hermes, the beggar's chicken looks ready. Wait a moment, I'll serve it to you right away!"
