In order to help Medusa borrow clothes, Triton found several nymphs. At first, they were very enthusiastic towards him, but when they knew that Triton came here specifically to borrow clothes for Medusa, their expressions immediately changed and they hesitantly rejected him.
Triton had never expected things to turn out like this, especially when he thought of Medusa's expectant look at him, he suddenly felt a little distressed.
I failed to help her get the clothes, and not only that, everyone seemed to hate her. I wonder if the treatment she received was even more embarrassing when I couldn't see her?
There was no way. As a mermaid, Triton didn't actually need to wear clothes, but even so, the nymphs would prepare a few pieces for him. So he found a piece of clothing that he had never worn before, which was smaller in size and simple in style, and he hesitated to give it to Medusa.
Medusa was obviously very happy to see Triton. Looking at the clothes in his hand, she obviously didn't think much about it, so she blushed and said, "Triton, I want to change clothes..."
"oh."
Triton was stunned for a moment, then reacted with a red face, "Then I'll go out first."
Having said that, Triton turned around and walked outside the palace, leaning quietly against the palace wall.
There was a long silence in the depths of the sea. He didn't know what to do for a moment. He just lowered his head slightly, thinking about Medusa who was changing clothes inside.
Medusa is just a poor powerless woman. Where will her future go?
Triton didn't know, but he just wanted to protect her and do something for her.
"Triton, I'm changed!"
Hearing her cry from inside the room, Triton immediately came to his senses, then slowly walked through the long, dark corridor and came behind Medusa.
At this moment, Medusa turned around, and her long skirt drooped slightly. The white color made her look more pure and flawless. The wide collar revealed her fair chest, and the simple waist made her waist look slender and petite.
And the most important thing is that Medusa is wearing his clothes at this time, which makes it even more special.
Triton was almost stunned. He had always seen Medusa in a miserable state. Even though he knew she was beautiful, he had never thought that she could make him so fascinated by just wearing a piece of clothing that he had never worn before.
He didn't do it on purpose, but when it came to Medusa, he seemed unable to control himself.
"Medusa..."
She turned to look at Triton with a smile, "Hmm?"
"Have I never told you..."
"You are really beautiful."
"Yeah?"
The Medusa in front of him stretched out her hand and stroked her cheek, chuckling with an ambiguous meaning.
"But for me...I would rather not have such beauty."

It took me several days to finally clean this huge and magnificent palace.
This is when I started planning.
Before going to find Amphitrite, Queen of the Sea, I first went to where Phorcys was. No matter how much I resisted, the Olympian gods who not only wanted to slander me but even wanted to kill me had a higher priority, so I had to use everything I could.
Before this, I was too naive and thought that my revenge plan could be carried out secretly, but I didn't expect that Poseidon, the god of the sea, had already seen through me.
I could only turn to Phorcys again to help me.
Seeing me appear, Phorcys was obviously very surprised. It wanted to grab my hand eagerly, but I avoided it.
I was silent for a while, but finally closed my eyes and sighed helplessly, "Thank you for what you did before, otherwise I might have been killed by Poseidon."
Phorcys's cloudy eyes held a trace of pain and resentment, but he was powerless against Poseidon, the god of the sea who now ruled the sea. "Child, even with my strength, I cannot defeat Poseidon. Stop holding onto meaningless hatred, and don't get bogged down in this mess..."
I don't want to explain the resentment and resentment in my heart anymore, because that kind of shame and pain is something that others cannot empathize with.
"But you must know something." I turned to look at it and whispered, "You are the original sea god, even older than Poseidon. At least, you know more than a mortal without immortality like me..."
Phorcys's scaly face showed some guilt and hesitation. Obviously, as a subject of the sea god, he could not say anything to betray him in the sea, nor did he dare to do so.
However, looking at Medusa's burning anger and her unyielding pure soul, Phorcys' heart had already been deeply shaken.
After all, she is my daughter!
If it wasn't heartbroken over Medusa's tragic fate and grieving over her despair at being toyed with by the gods, why would it take such a huge risk right under the gods' noses, giving her the opportunity to see everything clearly at that moment?!
Phorcys looked at the overly blossoming Medusa in despair and lowered his voice, "I cannot tell you, but I can tell you: go to the deepest part of the ocean and find the last sea god to rule it—my father, Pontus. Perhaps you will know the answer."
"Remember, as a primordial sea god, I can still barely conceal my actions in front of him. However, all your actions in the sea must be carried out when Poseidon, the sea god, leaves the sea. This way, he, the omniscient and omnipotent one, will not know."
Perhaps seeing my slightly surprised expression, it lowered its head sadly. "My child, I wish you could escape all these disasters. But if you truly desire revenge and are willing to fight against a rock with an egg, then I hope that the blessing of this primordial sea god will bring you success."
I lowered my eyes, and at that moment I suddenly felt my eyes were swollen and uncomfortable, and my heart seemed to be tormented by ice and fire, but I didn't know why.
But in the end I just nodded without saying anything. Poseidon, the god of the sea, was obviously still deep in the sea. I had to find a way to obtain Poseidon's schedule first, so that I could find the previous ruler of the ocean according to Phorcys's instructions.
I don't know if this will attract the attention of others, perhaps Triton, or Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea who hates me.
But they are not important, and they are not the murderers who directly hurt me. As long as Poseidon, the god of the sea, doesn't know about this, I have a chance of survival.
…
I slowly came to the palace of Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea. At this time, I was ready to face difficulties.
She might complain that I didn't clean well enough, or she might scold me for shamelessly wearing Triton's clothes... In short, I have to endure whatever she wants.
After all, in her opinion, no matter what the truth is, I am the lover of her husband, Poseidon, the god of the sea. Even if I was forced, she has no choice but to resent me.
How can a gentle and dutiful wife resent the husband who has brought her all the glory?
It can only be my fault.
But today, for some reason, things seemed to be beyond my expectations. Along the way, those Hai Nymphs always looked at me with sympathy, which made me a little confused.
And when I really stepped into the palace of the Queen of the Sea, the scene in front of me made me frown.
Triton sat beside the Queen of the Sea and said something with a sad face, while the Queen of the Sea, Amphitrite, listened and sobbed sadly, with a face full of pity and sympathy.
When she saw me coming, she slightly restrained the expression on her face and adjusted her sitting posture.
But when I thought she would soon return to her previous resentment and hardship, Amphitrite cast a look of pity and sympathy at me, but at the same time looked me up and down.
"You...ah."
"If that's the case, I have nothing to say."
She sighed helplessly, as if she regarded me as a weak person who was equally unable to fight, and was thinking about the most suitable option for me.
"Since you wish to escape his entanglement, I will immediately arrange a marriage for you with any demigod on earth. This is already considered high-class marriage for you, and it will provide you with some protection."
At that moment, I looked up at Triton who was always watching me beside her. I didn't know what he said to Amphitrite that made her so generous to me.
But at this moment, I just felt cold all over and couldn't help but clench my fists behind my back, because I realized what he had done and told all the gods present in detail about the injustice of fate to me.
If, for the sake of revenge, it is acceptable to open my wounds in front of everyone who can use them.
Then, when faced with the almost condescending mercy of those insignificant lesser gods, I just want to destroy it all immediately.
Especially those sympathies mixed with understanding, contempt and disdain, and the intention to control my fate as floating as duckweed, made me feel as if I was completely stripped naked by those gazes, with nowhere to hide.
Why are they looking at me like that?
Just because I am weaker than them, I cannot control my own destiny?
But isn't it the same for these weak lesser gods?
I took a deep breath, but just as I was about to refuse the Sea Queen's "kindness," Triton suddenly spoke in surprise, "No, Mother! You can't do this. Medusa has suffered enough. You should save her from the water and fire instead of letting her fall into another deep pit!"
"Triton, do you think I'm willing? Do you think I can refuse your father's decision?" Amphitrite looked at her son sadly. "I once fled to the end of the ocean to reject your father, but He still found me, forcefully possessed me, and married me!"
"Since she hates my husband, she should quickly marry a god she doesn't hate and who can protect him."
Terry looked at me nervously, intending to argue, "But maybe there's a god she likes who can protect her?"
"Oh? Who is it?"
"...Maybe, I can."
Seeing them eagerly talking about their marriage as if it had nothing to do with me, I suddenly couldn't help but chuckle.
The noise in the hall suddenly quieted down, and at that moment I had never felt so calm.
I remembered what Phorcys had said.
Poseidon, the god of the sea, is omniscient in the seabed.
So, I spoke firmly, telling lies that had nothing to do with the truth, intending to drive away this disgusting sympathy and pity, "Who said I wanted to get rid of the entanglement of His Majesty Poseidon, the God of the Sea?"
Seeing Triton's expression of disbelief, I raised the corners of my mouth and said firmly, "He has been deeply engraved in my heart. I will never, ever forget Him."
Yes, I will never forget what He did for me.
But now I have to change my strategy. Since Amphitrite, the Queen of the Sea, wants to arbitrarily decide my marriage and marry me to someone else, staying with her will do more harm than good. Therefore, I have to change my destination and get the schedule of Poseidon, the God of the Sea, as soon as possible to go to the deep sea described by Phorcys.
But even so, I can't completely count on Pontus to help me, and I can't completely offend Poseidon.
At this moment, I felt like I was walking on a tightrope. I could only carefully maintain my balance and try to find my chance of survival in the crisis.
"——Huh? Your Majesty Poseidon, why are you here so suddenly?"
