At dawn, the delicate golden sunlight penetrated the window lattice and spilled into the room, accompanied by the sound of the surging tide.
Yawning as if moved by a sense, Luo En propped open his eyelids, and with a slight glance from the corner of his eye, was startled to find a pair of round and slender white thighs resting behind his head, offering a soft touch and a faint fragrance.
"You're awake?"
A gentle voice reached him, as the Goddess of Wisdom in her plain white dress with silver hair and purple eyes sat at the head of the bed, looking down at the face that rested on her knees with a smile.
However, the rise and fall of two white mountain peaks with each breath obstructed their line of sight, causing Luo En to feel dizzy.
Are they really that big?
As Luo En silently marvelled at this spectacle, those purple eyes showed deep concern.
"What's wrong? Still not feeling well? Let me take a look!"
A pair of encircling arms lifted Luo En's head and held it anxiously against her chest, soothing him with a series of checks.
Suddenly, the half-awake victim nearly suffocated, flailing wildly as his senses summarized the characteristics of this overwhelming contact in his mind.
So big! So soft! So fierce!
"Bang!"
As Luo En's consciousness grew chaotic, almost suffocating from this tender indulgence, the bedroom door was violently burst open.
The Goddess of the Hearth, dressed in a white apron and holding a ladle, stuck her head through the door with a dark expression and forced out a twisted smile.
"So you're awake? I made a big feast to celebrate your recovery, come down and eat!"
Eat?
Luo En unconsciously looked through the partially open door toward the hall and kitchen, his expression instantly freezing.
Anna! Yes, where's Anna?!"
In the midst of speaking, Luo En, his head tightly circled in Athena's arms, darted his eyes around, frantically searching for a figure to save the situation.
"Anna? She's right..."
The Gorgon Sisters with purple hair and red eyes entered the room, their beautiful faces bearing wicked smiles. They then grabbed the corner of Luo En's blanket and with a swift tug, they revealed...
"...here!"
Luo En instinctively looked down to see a spread of purple lying beneath the blanket.
The face that blended the mature charm of the snake goddess with the youthful innocence of a young Gorgon was slowly lifting up from below, a split tongue flicking out from parted lips, tasting the air and swallowing with a satisfied flush on her little face.
In an instant, several chilling gazes focused on him, and an indescribable terror instantly froze everything.
"An... Anna! No!"
A shrill and off-key wail echoed in the ancient Greek-style bedroom as a patient covered in sweat sat upright in bed, his arms flailing in the air as if grasping for life.
After a moment of turmoil, his terror-filled eyes refocused, looking up at the familiar ceiling and room decor with relief.
It was just a dream, thankfully.
For a moment, Luo En patted his nearly arrested heart, slumping against the headboard and staring at the empty bedroom with a tinge of dejection in his heart.
What happened to the number one hero? If not knee-pillowed, why isn't there even an attendant?
As his mood swung and he was grumbling to himself, a low whine came from outside the door. A Golden Hound pushed open the door gap, burst into the bedroom, leaped onto the bed, and wagged its tail and licked his palm with joy.
You're the best, pup! .net
Seeing his own faithful dog so loyal, Luo En felt somewhat moved.
