Chapter 140: Chapter 107 Restraint Overwhelming Heaven, Special Attack Sun Immortal (Vote Request)
Artemis was no fool.
With just a little guidance from Luo En, the Goddess of the Hunt soon understood his intent.
"Are you saying? Use Adonis to lure that woman away?"
"Exactly!"
Luo En nodded, spreading out a few terrain sketches on the table, and began to elaborate on the plan he had devised over the past two days.
"First of all, from my observations, Adonis is a dedicated hunting enthusiast and his relationship with the King of Cyprus is not good, so he goes hunting outside the city every day to clear his mind.
Secondly, perhaps as some sort of psychological compensation, every time Aphrodite seeks to seduce Adonis, she bathes in the Sacred Pool, which can restore her purity, to signify giving her entire body and soul to her lover.
And there is a distance between Adonis's usual hunting spot and the Sacred Pool that Aphrodite regularly visits.
So, what do you think she will do if, when Aphrodite and The Three Graces are activating the Sacred Pool, Adonis just happens to encounter a life-threatening danger?"
In an instant, Artemis's eyes brightened, and she blurted out the answer.
"She would immediately abandon her bath and rush back to save her little lover!"
"Right, that's your chance!"
Luo En nodded approvingly, speaking in a grave tone.
"As long as we lurk near the Sacred Pool in advance and wait for Aphrodite and The Three Graces to open it, then, when they are distracted, I will take the place of the God of Love and enter the Sacred Pool to complete the ritual, and our goal will be achieved!"
Perfect!
Artemis was thrilled to hear this highly feasible plan.
However, she quickly realized the key issue and cast a deep look at the man across from her.
"So, you're going to make a move on Adonis?"
Indeed, the idea was beautiful, and the plan's feasibility was high.
But the premise required someone to act against Adonis at the right moment to divert Aphrodite and The Three Graces.
And with only two people involved, Artemis needed to hide near the Sacred Pool and wait for the right time, meaning the most dangerous part of the plan naturally fell onto Luo En himself.
To this, Luo En nodded decisively, without any evasion, and seriously instructed.
"Right, when the time comes, we'll contact each other with spells, and you must send me a signal immediately."
"No, that's too dangerous!"
With the opportunity so close, Artemis instinctively shook her head in objection.
Luo En confidently patted his chest, reassuring her with a calm smile.
"Don't worry, Adonis is all show and no substance, and his authority as the god of vegetation in spring is not innate. He can't utilize a deity's combat power. Besides, due to his poor relationship with the King of Cyprus, he doesn't have many followers with him, mostly ordinary soldiers from the palace. I should be able to deal with them."
"And what about Aphrodite and The Three Graces?"
Artemis looked at the man before her, voicing the critical question.
As a woman, she knew all too well that sometimes her own sex, when enraged, can be even more fearsome than the opposite sex.
If Aphrodite knew someone had attacked her lover, she would likely retaliate without holding back.
Eventually, it took the united efforts of the heroes from Greece's city-states, summoned by Prince Meleager of Calydon, to hunt down the monster and kill it.
Moreover, this was after Prince Meleager had prayed to the goddess Artemis for permission before setting out.
From this, one can see just how formidable this creature's combat power was.
If I were to wear this thing, my War God divinity combined with Artemis's Hunting God divinity might just enable me to pin down that pretty boy Adonis and beat him on the ground.
Additionally, if my memory serves me right—
—His end was, in fact, being gored to death by a magic boar.
They say that a specific counter can be greater than even the heavens, a special attack can bring down even the gods.
Tsk tsk, Artemis pulling out this trick is indeed very apt.
Thinking this, Luo En reached out to take the magic boar's hide into his hands.
However, Artemis held his wrist with a serious expression, earnestly warning,
"Once you put it on, although you will gain its strength, your mind will also gradually be influenced by the ferocity of this magic beast. And if you use it for more than three hours, you might never change back to human form. Therefore, you must find me before that happens to help you detach from this hide!"
Hearing Artemis's warning, Luo En wasn't surprised at all as he nodded inwardly.
Such stringent conditions were normal; after all, the more powerful something or an item is, the stricter the limitations that come with it.
Seeing the emergence of a bit of sternness and seriousness on the face across from him, Artemis hummed in satisfaction.
"Of course, if you want to refuse..."
But as Artemis paused, the magic boar's hide was swiftly snatched away.
Without the slightest hesitation, without a trace of wavering.
"Three hours, right? I've got it. Come meet me according to the plan later, and I'll wait for your rescue. Just make sure you're not late."
In a lighthearted voice, Luo En skillfully stuffed the magic boar's hide into his opened Magic Circle Diagram.
The Goddess of the Hunt, looking at her empty hands, was stunned for a good while before she regained her senses, glaring hatefully at the smiling face in front of her, her chest heaving with frustration, feeling somewhat frantic inside.
Idiot! I meant for you to reconsider seriously! Not to make a choice right away!
"Trust me, if we strictly follow the plan, everything will go smoothly."
In her ear, a deep voice resounded, carrying a reassuring Magic Power.
In the end, Artemis bit her lip and merely gave the man before her, with his confident and lofty air, a serious look, nodding her proud head.
"Mhm..."
Outside the window, the waxing moon hung high in the sky, its bright silver light pouring through the window and casting on the two figures in the bedroom, illuminating the intertwining silhouettes.
As the main event came to an end, and night grew deeper, the two figures, engulfed by silence, spontaneously cast meaningful glances at each other.
"Tonight?"
"The last time!"
Artemis, licking her moist lips, swore earnestly.
After a moment, the lights were extinguished, and the familiar rustling sounds echoed once more in the darkness.
