Chapter 107: The Daughter's Counterattack
The sixth day and night.
In a secluded hotel somewhere in Paphos, Cyprus.
Artemis, with silver hair and blue eyes, sat against the window, holding up her cheek with one hand, and looked out from time to time through the half-open gap in the window frame, looking quite eager.
As the waning moon slowly climbed up to the middle of the sky under the night sky, the anxiety in her eyes gradually intensified.
Normally, he should have returned at this time. Why is he still not here so late this time?
The female hunter couldn't help but stand up from the chair and paced back and forth in the room, her brows gradually furrowed.
Finally, after turning back and forth dozens of times, the impatient Artemis could no longer bear it and turned around and rushed towards the closed door.
Just as she stretched out her arm to grasp the doorknob, the door creaked open, and a figure that blended into the night slipped into the house through the crack in the door, almost bumping into Artemis who was about to rush out.
However, as the swaying light illuminated that familiar face, the anxiety and gloom on the hunting goddess's face were instantly swept away, and her heart finally settled down.
"You're back?"
Artemis rushed forward, joy evident in both her manner and her tone.
Loen nodded, then closed the door, carefully checked the sealing of the doors and windows, set up several defenses and concealment techniques, and then began to explain in a deep voice.
"I got too close this time and was spotted by a few nymphs. Fortunately, I reacted quickly and used the method you taught me to cover up my scent and divine presence. I got rid of them all and took a long detour before returning."
As he said this, he took off his coat and handed it over.
The hunting goddess at the side took it naturally, checked it carefully, and after confirming that there was no residual tracking scent or sensing mark on the new coat, she hung it on the hanger.
After completing these processes smoothly, Artemis pulled Lorne under the light in front of the table and looked at him carefully.
"What about you? Are you okay?"
"Don't worry, I'm a professional at running away."
Lorne smiled confidently, then opened the magic circle diagram, took out a lotus leaf bag, put it on the table and tore it open, steam coming out of it.
"You haven't eaten yet? I saw a butcher shop on the road. The lamb chops there are pretty good, so I brought some for you."
As he spoke, he pushed the opened lotus leaf bag in front of Artemis.
The huntress looked at the steaming lamb chops, then looked at the face with a faint smile under the light, pursed her lips, sat down quietly by the window, and enjoyed her dinner.
The rich juice and strong meaty aroma burst between your lips and teeth, bringing a strong sense of satisfaction.
This meal seemed to be more delicious than anything she had ever eaten.
"Eat slowly. If you like the taste, I can bring more next time."
Looking at the hunting goddess who was eating in big mouthfuls at the table and whose eating manners were not elegant, Loen felt a little amused.
"No need. I've been waiting for you for a whole day. I'm just hungry."
Artemis rolled her eyes at Lorne opposite her, opened her mouth and swallowed the last piece of meat, her expression turning serious.
"Okay, let's get down to business."
Loen nodded, pulled over a stool and sat aside, then took out several pieces of parchment and papyrus covered with characters from the magic circle diagram, spread them out on the table, and then lowered his voice and told Artemis about his discoveries while tracking the goddess of love Aphrodite for the past three days.
First of all, I have to sigh that my great-grandmother is indeed the goddess of sex and love. She sleeps with so many gods and demigods every day, but she is still as lustful as a wolf and her desires are insatiable.
Even after sucking so many bed partners dry, she still had the energy left to pick up a new gigolo.
Such fierce fighting power and endurance made Loen, who was following behind, dumbfounded and full of admiration.
After three days of investigation, Lorne discovered that the gigolo she had just hooked up with was none other than Adonis, the prince of Cyprus.
Speaking of this prince, his background is equally bizarre.
It is said that King Theias of Cyprus had a daughter named Myrrha who was extremely beautiful but had never married.
Because she fell in love with her father, who was a handsome man.
As she grew older, Mira gradually found it difficult to suppress the burning fire of love in her body.
Finally, one night, she received a revelation from the god of love, and disguised herself as a maid, turned off the lights, and secretly met with her father.
But the truth cannot be hidden forever. After several secret affairs, Mila became pregnant and her body became plump, and her father discovered the secret.
When the King of Cyprus learned that his lover was actually his own daughter, he was so ashamed and angry that he wanted to kill his promiscuous daughter.
In order to save her unborn child and her own life, the terrified Myrrha chose to flee. When she had no other way out, she turned to the goddess of love Aphrodite for help and was subsequently transformed into a myrrh tree.
And her child was conceived and grown in the tree, and was born as the bark cracked.
This baby who was born with sin in his arms was Prince Adonis.
Adonis seemed to have inherited the excellent genes from his father and mother. He was extremely beautiful when he was born. When he grew up, he was nine feet tall and had facial features as handsome and delicate as flowers, making everything in the world pale in comparison to him.
This beauty even attracted Aphrodite, the Olympian goddess of love and beauty.
In order to get close to and capture this beautiful young man, Aphrodite quietly left Mount Olympus and came to the forest on the island of Cyprus after learning that he loved hunting. She disguised herself as a huntress, kept the young man by her side all day, and traveled with him through the mountains, forests, and valleys.
Perhaps he loved Adonis so much that the great god of love actually followed the hunting dogs, cheering and chasing the harmless animals in order to win the prince's heart.
In the end, hard work paid off. Aphrodite completely conquered the handsome young man from Cyprus with her beauty and charm, and they spent a wonderful time together in the mountains.
After that, the god of love did not treat Adonis like his other bed partners, just throwing him away after use. Instead, he would take time out from time to time to come to Cyprus to have a tryst with his lover.
In order to allow herself and Adonis to stay together forever, Aphrodite even went so far as to ask for the power of the god of spring plants for him, allowing this demigod to be promoted to a god and retain eternal youth.
Such great trouble is enough to show how much love and care the god of love has for his lover.
"Tsk tsk, she is even willing to give away divine power for free. It seems that she is really tempted. No wonder she deliberately stays in Cyprus for a while every time she goes out. It turns out that she wants to cheat here."
At this moment, Artemis, who was listening quietly at the side, suddenly realized. Then a hint of teasing appeared in her blue eyes, and she couldn't help shaking her head with emotion.
"I didn't expect this wanton woman to actually have a pure and innocent side. It's just that Ares and Hephaestus fought over her until they were bloodied, and they became two powerless, barking loser dogs."
Loen expressed his understanding of Artemis's gloating.
After all, she had never gotten along well with Hera's family, and she was eager to see them make a fool of themselves.
But then, the hunting goddess also reacted and looked at the opposite side in confusion.
"Speaking of which, even if we know these little secrets, what use will they be to us in what we are going to do next?"
Lorne smiled slightly and looked meaningfully at the island of Cyprus outside the window.
"Of course it worked. Don't you think that the prince is a good breakthrough point?"
