Chapter 95: You are always there every time I scan X! (6k daily updates achieved)
Seeing that the atmosphere on the field seemed a little wrong, Hestia couldn't help but stand up and ask the reason.
"What's wrong?"
Realizing that her reaction was a bit too extreme, Artemis coughed slightly and asked the two people casually.
"You guys, want to eat rabbit?"
"Yes, rabbit meat is nutritious and firm, and tastes very good."
As the chef, Lorne nodded subconsciously and began to explain.
"I hadn't decided what to do, but just now I saw a rabbit broke into the vegetable garden and was eating the roots and seedlings, so I thought I might as well catch it and make some rabbit meat for you guys to try.
But considering the number of people dining tonight, that amount didn’t seem to be enough, so I bought another basket from the market outside and was about to prepare it…”
As soon as she finished speaking, before Artemis could react, Hestia pounced on the vegetable seedlings in the field that had been eaten, and wailed with a look of grief on her face.
"Damn it, my vegetable garden, who? Who let the rabbit in?"
Suddenly, the hunting goddess at the side stood up somewhat awkwardly.
"Well, aunt, I was hunting on the road and caught one by chance, but when I came in, I accidentally let it escape. I was so busy chatting just now that I forgot about it..."
"Yes, it seems to be the one that ran into the backyard."
Athena on the side spoke up, seemingly to help clarify the matter, but in fact she confirmed Artemis' fault.
The Goddess of Hunting rolled her eyes at the Goddess of Wisdom who was helping openly but secretly taking advantage of the situation, and spoke hesitantly.
"Aunt, I like that little guy very much. Why don't you let it go? I will compensate you for your loss later."
"So that's how it is. Never mind..."
Seeing her niece admit her mistake, Hestia was too lazy to pursue the matter and waved to the royal chef who was about to take action in the backyard.
"Lorne, where's that little rascal? Give it back to her."
"Uh, I forgot to close the door just now, and I wasn't paying attention when I opened the cage, so I accidentally let them all run out. I can't tell which one it is. How about asking Lady Artemis to identify it herself?"
Loen pointed at the half-open cage on the ground and several fugitive white criminals around it, and his face showed embarrassment.
Realizing the problem, Artemis now just wanted to end this farce as soon as possible.
However, after looking around, she couldn't help but shake her head in disappointment.
"Strange, it seems that neither of them is..."
"Maybe a few of them escaped during the chaos..."
Loen was quite helpless. He looked at the hunting goddess and seemed to be hesitant to speak.
Apparently, the arrest process just now was interrupted by Artemis who heard the noise, which gave these little creatures an opportunity to take advantage of.
Fortunately, Artemis was reasonable and just shook her head regretfully. She did not make things too difficult for the chef who was innocently involved in the matter.
"Is that so? That's fine then."
And Loen was quite considerate of the hunting goddess's feelings, so he took the initiative to pardon a number of fugitives.
"Rabbit is a bit time-consuming, why don't we try something else?"
"Okay..."
Hearing the chef's thoughtful words, Artemis couldn't help but nod in agreement, and even the look she gave him was filled with kindness.
As the turmoil caused by this little episode calmed down, Loen immediately released the rabbits that had been on the verge of death into the wild. He also bought some beef and mutton, shouted, and went into the kitchen to prepare again.
"Then take a seat first, the food will be ready soon."
The three goddesses did not suspect anything and went back to the living room to chat about family matters, waiting for the opportunity to officially start the banquet.
Seeing the goddesses' laughter and joy coming from the inner room again, the chef in the kitchen was cutting beef and mutton while admiring his own wit.
The best way to hide a drop of water is to put it into the sea.
Similarly, if you want to make a rabbit disappear as reasonably as possible, the best way is to find a group of rabbits to cover it.
Now, having released so many rabbits directly or indirectly, even if Artemis became suspicious afterwards, she probably wouldn't be able to trace it back to a living person like him.
Besides, since the vegetable garden had been destroyed, Artemis couldn't ask too much about the whereabouts of the fugitive in front of Hestia, the victim.
And a mere prey is nothing rare for the hunting goddess.
At this point, things will basically end up coming to nothing.
In this way, he not only solved the crisis brought by Rabbit, but also gained the favor of the hunting goddess.
Absolutely perfect!
After reviewing what had happened and confirming that there were no mistakes, Loen nodded with satisfaction, picked up a few dishes from the stove, took out the wine he had brewed from the cellar, and began to formally entertain the three gathered virgin goddesses.
"Come on, have a drink! You're welcome!"
As the drinks were ready and the dishes were served, Hestia immediately poured a full glass of wine for herself and her two nieces and extended a warm invitation.
The aroma of fruit wood and flower petals filled their noses, and the two goddesses couldn't help but become interested. They picked up the cup and imitated Hestia, tilting their heads back and drinking it all.
Suddenly, a slight sour taste permeates the mouth, followed by a pleasant aftertaste. The rich fruity aroma carries some floral and vanilla flavors, and the taste is mellow and complex with distinct layers.
In a trance, they seemed to be on a green meadow, surrounded by flowers, and bunches of ripe grapes and pomegranates hanging on the branches, exuding a refreshing fragrance.
After a moment, Athena and Artemis opened their eyes one after another, looked at the wine jar on the table, licked their lips at the same time, and refilled their cups.
Obviously, they have been conquered by this drink called "wine".
"I told you it's good, come on, drink, keep drinking!"
Seeing that her nieces also liked the good things she recommended, the Stove Goddess felt proud. She praised the founder, Loen, for his wonderful ideas, livened up the atmosphere at the table, and frequently poured wine for her nieces.
Soon, after each of them drank a jar of wine, the three goddesses were already a little tipsy. Their fair faces were flushed with an alluring rosy red, their eyes were blurred, and their bodies felt a little dizzy.
"The wine is coming!"
Along with a cheerful greeting, Loen, who was in charge of entertaining the three goddesses, diligently removed the empty jars and brought the remaining four jars of wine in the cellar to the table.
However, Athena waved her hand and slightly pushed the jar of wine in front of her away, with a hint of regret in her eyes.
"No, even though the taste and sensation are novel, if I drink more, my body will be out of control. I don't like that state of sensory disharmony."
Likewise, Artemis on the opposite side put down his glass and nodded in agreement.
"Indeed, if you drink too much, your hands will shake, which will affect your archery accuracy. Let's stop here today."
Seeing the two virgin goddesses being so restrained, Loen, who had a hint of evil in mind, felt a little disappointed.
But after thinking about it for a while, he felt relieved.
As virgin goddesses, if Athena and Artemis had not had a sense of vigilance and self-protection, they would probably have no chance of remaining virgins.
"Ah? You don't want to drink? That's perfect, I'll pay for it all~!"
Just as Loen was secretly sighing, Hestia's eyes lit up when she heard her nieces' refusal. She couldn't wait to gather the remaining four jars of wine in front of her, then opened the seals and drank heartily again, enjoying the wonderful feeling of being in ecstasy.
"Bang!"
A quarter of an hour later, the hearth goddess, who had voluntarily drunk five jars of wine, lay on the table and fell into a deep sleep, with a sweet and intoxicated smile on her face.
At this time, after a busy day, Loen had already put the bait and was waiting to see the three goddesses getting drunk. When he looked at the only black carp that was hooked, his face turned dark.
You were there both times!
You don't learn your lesson, do you? The beating was too light after all!
However, his itchy hands never made it to Hestia's butt.
Athena and Artemis, two reliable nieces, supported their aunt on both sides and helped her upstairs.
Looking at the three virgin goddesses walking side by side, Loen could only clean up the dishes obediently and put aside the idea of giving Hestia "extra lessons" for the time being.
A good night's sleep, nothing happened.
As the morning approached, Lorne sat up from the bed and prepared to go downstairs to prepare breakfast.
"Woof!"
But before he opened the door, the golden retriever in the corridor whimpered and crawled into his arms, with human-like fear on its face, as if it was avoiding some ferocious beast.
Outside the door, the blonde hunting goddess with silver eyes withdrew her hand without leaving a trace, smiled reservedly, and greeted as if nothing had happened.
"So early?"
"Well, I just got up and made some breakfast to entertain you guys."
Lorne stroked the golden retriever's trembling head and smiled subtly.
Artemis glanced at the door behind her and suggested with a smile.
"Auntie may have to sleep until noon, why don't you go out for a walk with me first?"
Then, the goddess's gaze moved down and fell on the golden retriever in Loen's arms, and a hint of heat flashed in her eyes.
"Since you have a great dog, how about we go to the nearby mountains and do some hunting?"
"What's the point of comparing yourself to him? Why don't you try it with me?"
Before Loen could speak, Athena walked out of another bedroom and sneered at a hunting goddess who obviously had ulterior motives.
Seeing that her well-planned thing was interrupted by someone, Artemis frowned in displeasure.
But then, she seemed to have thought of something and a smile appeared on her face again.
"Okay, it's a rare opportunity to hunt together, so let's see who has caught more prey today. By the way, let him be our referee and guide."
"no problem!"
Athena nodded happily, and at the same time followed Artemis's gaze and glanced meaningfully at someone behind her.
The hunting goddess on the opposite side also responded with a warm look, not only showing deep kindness and appreciation, she even took the initiative to reach out and hold the man's arm, showing her full enthusiasm.
"Take my car. It's faster this way."
Athena, who was a beat behind, narrowed her eyes and a faint grinding sound came from between her tightly closed lips and teeth.
For a moment, Loen, who was forced to take on the role of goddess judge, felt his scalp tingling when he thought of a future colleague named "Paris" and the more famous golden apple.
This shouldn't be a good thing, right?
