"Those two were the ones who tried to attack my little brother first. Can't I protect him?"
Her peach-pink eyes looked at Ye Linwan, and an absolute suppression that transcended all life instantly swept over every cell in her body.
Her cells were refusing to fight, or rather, even her cells had begun to feel fear.
Even though her body had begun to tremble slightly, Ye Linwan showed no fear, and the aura of the ultimate human combat power surged forth.
Two powerful auras began to collide throughout the room.
Everyone present froze, and a commotion began to rise.
"Hey! What do you think you're doing to Ye Linwan? Even if you're a business partner, you can't be this insolent!"
Lin Wushuang suddenly stood up, a blue light gathering in his hand, and aimed at Hera.
The child who was sitting next to Ye Ciqing ran over to Ye Linwan and stretched out his two little hands to protect her.
"Fight! Fight!" Akahisa, who had been watching the show from the sidelines, excitedly waved his fist.
The others frowned, but none of them acted rashly.
At the heart of the matter, Ekaren's mind had already gone blank. He wanted to do something, but found that he had no idea what to say.
I could only stand there, sweating profusely and feeling completely lost, as if I was about to faint at any moment.
"Want to make a move?"
In an instant.
Countless scarlet eyes grew from the surrounding walls, like terrifying predators, staring intently at the group about to make their move.
Everyone's pupils contracted, and the feeling of death shot straight to the top of their heads.
Tentacles with sharp blades had appeared around everyone except Ye Linwan without anyone noticing.
Like a venomous snake toying with its prey, constantly slithering around their vital spots.
The terrifying pressure emanating from the eyes in the surrounding walls and ceiling caused Akahisa to collapse onto the table, clutching his head and curling up in fear.
"Stop fighting... Don't kill."
The scene fell into a stalemate; the air seemed to freeze, and no one dared to even breathe.
In the silent scene, only Ye Linwan and Hera's auras continued their fierce battle.
Its peach-pink pupils flickered slightly, and the two tentacles that had been blocked by the spider web exerted force once more.
"Don't you dare move again!"
The scythe-like spider web, like a snapping blade, suddenly grew from behind Ye Linwan.
They launched a direct attack on Hera.
"That's enough, stop now."
A calm, ethereal voice drifted over, as if by magic, freezing Ye Linwan in place.
Hera, on the other hand, continued to eat calmly.
Bang.
Nantian gently placed his teacup on the table, making a dull, wooden tapping sound.
His gaze fell upon the chaotic crowd.
"Everyone, stop now."
"But...she almost hurt my son!" Ye Linwan was so anxious she was jumping up and down.
"But it was indeed Ye Yiqing and his group who made the first move. Please sit down."
Ye Linwan glared angrily at Nan Tian, then glanced at Hera before finally slumping down and letting out a sigh of relief.
"Okay... but you have to get her to stop the attack first."
As he spoke, he pointed to the tentacles that were stabbing at Ye Yiqing and the others, as well as the eyes that were covered in flesh and blood.
Nantian nodded slightly and turned to look at Hera.
"I'm sorry, we were indeed in the wrong this time, please don't mind."
"I'll compensate you later."
"Oh, okay."
Hera did not press the issue. After nodding, her tentacles slowly retracted into the wall, and all the surrounding flesh and blood disappeared without a trace.
At this point, Ye Ciqing and Ye Yiqing breathed a sigh of relief, with the former slumping back onto the bench.
He then realized that his clothes were already soaked with sweat and stuck tightly to his skin.
"Ciqing, are you alright?!"
Ichika quickly took out a tissue to wipe his sweat, and at the same time, she checked him for injuries with a pained expression.
Ye Yiqing, on the other hand, calmly sheathed his knife, glanced at Aikaren, and then turned to bow slightly to Hera.
"I'm sorry, I was definitely in the wrong this time. I almost hurt your little brother. I'm really sorry."
Ye Yiqing's attitude was extremely sincere, but Hera acted as if she didn't see him at all, turned her head, and continued eating.
Ye Linwan looked at Hera, wanting to say something but hesitating, so she simply sat back down and started eating.
"You eat too."
Seeing that Aikalen was still standing there blankly, Hera threw a chicken leg at him.
The latter hurriedly caught it, glanced around, and slowly moved himself to an empty seat to sit down.
Hera ate the meal with great ease, but Ekaren felt like she was in hell.
Is this the legendary battleground...?
Ekalen swallowed hard, feeling that the most painful torture in the world was nothing compared to her current situation.
The meal ended quickly, yet it felt like it lasted a long time.
"Alright, everyone, go back and rest. I'm sorry this dinner didn't make everyone happy."
As Nantian finished speaking, the rest of the Light God Society set off to return to their temporary resting place.
Hera reluctantly put down the food in her hand and got up to leave under Aikaren's pleading gaze.
"Hera, wait a minute."
Just as Hera left the venue, someone called out to her from behind.
"What are you doing?" Hera turned her head to look at Ye Linwan, who was acting somewhat awkwardly behind her.
Ye Linwan, with her two sons by her side, clasped her hands behind her back, her eyes looking down, unfocused.
It took him a long time to finally manage to squeeze out a sentence.
"Um... I'm sorry... it was indeed my son and his friends who started it. They were just too emotional at the time. Please don't mind them..."
As she spoke, her voice grew softer and softer, and her face gradually turned red.
"Oh, it's nothing."
"Hmm, are you really alright?"
"Mm." Hera nodded honestly.
"Really?" Ye Linwan was still a little uneasy and asked again cautiously.
"Then what do you think I could do, like being aggressive or biting you?"
"puff……"
Hearing Hera say such words in a completely emotionless voice, Ekaren, who had been standing to the side with his head down, couldn't help but laugh out loud.
After realizing what had happened, her face flushed red, and she immediately buried her head. Ye Ciqing couldn't help but smile.
Ye Linwan breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you for your generosity. Let's remain friendly partners in the future."
"You two should apologize again."
"I'm sorry~"
I apologize again.
"Mmm." After giving a couple of perfunctory replies, Hera turned and left with Ekaren.
With a reminder from [X], Hera finally arrived at the room that the God of Light had arranged for her after many twists and turns.
It's more like a house than a room, as it's almost completely disconnected from the rest of the Qingshui Mansion, except for an open-air corridor connecting it to the outside world.
Hera had only ever seen this architectural style in Japan.
