Chapter 276: The Temptation of Prison System (4.7
Afterward, Hera, nourished by rain and dew, radiated beauty as she left a fragrant kiss as a reward before gracefully departing.
In the corner, Luo En watched forlornly as the enchanting figure disappeared at the end of the corridor. Only then did he press his wildly beating heart inside his chest and heaved a relieved sigh.
Exhilarating as it was, if she played like this every time, his heart would eventually fail him.
And moreover...
Luo En looked down at the remnants of their struggle scattered all over the floor, his face clouded with worry.
Enjoy the moment and then take off without cleaning up or destroying the evidence. Are you that eager to let Zeus find out he's been cuckolded?
After grumbling to himself, the experienced criminal had no choice but to start tidying up the cell himself, painstakingly clearing all incriminating evidence.
"Eek~~"
However, before he could finish, the dull sound of the cell door being pushed open reverberated once more.
Zeus?
Luo En's soul nearly fled his body. Hearing the footsteps getting closer, he quickly grabbed the hay nearby, covering the remaining traces around him in a desperate attempt at remediation.
"Why so much hay?"
The inquiry from outside the cell stopped Luo En's heart, chilling his soul.
But soon, hearing that familiar voice, his spirits instantaneously soared from Hell to Paradise. He turned his stiff neck, looking up towards the silhouette outside the cell door, his face squeezing into a somewhat distorted smile.
"Artemis, why are you here?"
"Of course, I'm worried about you."
The Goddess of the Hunt snapped back as she walked into the cell, surveying the surroundings, her eyes revealing a bit of distress.
"Father God, really! For such a small issue, he's locked you up in this miserable place. It's dreary and crude, not to mention this strange smell. After all, you are a legitimate god of Olympus!"
Luo En quietly wiped the sweat off his forehead. To change the subject and hoodwink her, he swiftly steered the conversation in another direction.
"After all, it was a demigod who died..."
"Demigod? That Peleus? Is he even worthy? Such trash is found everywhere!"
Artemis scoffed disdainfully, looking at her lover now reduced to a prisoner. She spoke emphatically.
"Don't worry, I'll speak to Father God on your behalf. I won't allow you to suffer this injustice."
"No!" Luo En hastily interjected, his expression turning serious, "The more you say, the more dangerous it becomes for me!"
Hearing that subtle warning, the once impulsive Artemis cooled down.
Indeed, the identity of a virgin goddess was quite sensitive. Getting too close to any male deity often spells trouble.
If she asserted herself too aggressively in front of Father God Zeus on behalf of her secret lover, it might be easy for him to spot something fishy.
In doing so, not only would she fail to alleviate Luo En's plight, but she might even push him into deeper trouble.
Realizing she nearly made a big blunder out of impulsiveness, Artemis's face turned flush with shame.
Luo En gently took Artemis's hands, comforting her softly, "Don't worry, it's just a formality. It shouldn't be that serious. I might be able to get out soon."
Artemis nodded, seemingly persuaded by his words, but her silvery eyes were still clouded with worry.
Soon?
The time Apollo killed the shepherd god Pan, he was punished with seven years of hard labor.
Besides, he had the status of a Chief God and a legitimate reason for his actions...
As Artemis contemplated this, her pretty face grew even more somber.
Feeling the warmth in her palms, the Goddess of the Hunt clenched her hands tighter, grasping tightly at this hard-won happiness.
No matter what, she would not let her lover come to harm. If worst came to worst...
Artemis looked up at Luo En, her eyes brimming with a subtle determination.
Sensing the care that overflowed from her, Luo En gently embraced Artemis, comforting her again in a whisper, "Don't worry too much. I'll be fine."
"Mmm..." The strong and dashing Goddess of the Hunt moaned softly, her arms wrapped around her lover's waist, her delicate body tightly pressed against him, basking in the warmth that comforted and entranced her.
After a moment of tenderness, Luo En gently patted Artemis's back, whispering a reminder.
"It's about time..."
However, the Goddess of the Hunt did not let go, her gaze intense as she stared at her lover, her tongue moistening her glossy lips, and she murmured softly.
"Father God is not on the mountain today."
"…"
"We haven't used the 15th of this month yet."
"..."
Experience tales at My Virtual Library Empire
Hearing these increasingly suggestive statements, Luo En stiffened, groaning internally.
Not now? Here? Really?
"Bang!"
The cell door slammed shut, the fluorite stones along the corridor extinguished, leaving darkness. The Goddess of the Hunt, unable to restrain her instincts any longer, pushed down her prey and began to savor the delicacy beneath her claws meticulously.
...
It's uncertain how long it passed before the darkness faded and the fluorite glowed once again.
After enjoying a grand feast, Artemis wiped her mouth, fully satisfied as she stood up.
Before leaving, the Goddess of the Hunt did not forget to wave her arm, dispersing her divine power to skillfully and carefully erase the intense traces of their earlier struggle.
This alone was enough to prove that Artemis's experience in sneaking around and avoiding detection far surpassed that of a certain goddess who only cared about her own pleasure and paid no heed to the consequences.
Once everything was in order, the Goddess of the Hunt cast one last glance at her lover before reluctantly leaving the scene.
In the corner, Luo En maintained a stiff smile, mechanically waving goodbye until Artemis had been gone for a while. Only then did he belatedly let his somewhat sore arm droop down.
