Chapter 99: The Breeding Module, Just So So (4.6k)
"I can't sleep, just thought I'd check up on you."
Themis quietly explained as she placed a pot of flowery brew and a few plates of snacks on the table, smiling invitingly at Luo En.
"Care for a drink with me?"
It was hard to decline such hospitality; Luo En, wearing his bathrobe, sat at the table and took a gulp of the pleasant-smelling flowery brew, trying to quench the growing dryness in his mouth.
However, after downing the brew, the thirst in his mouth didn't subside; it seemed to grow even stronger.
In fact, his body began to feel hot and dry, as if flames were burning through his blood.
"Another cup?"
A gentle voice came through, and Themis across from him considerately stood up, picked up a silver-plated jug, and slightly bent down to refill Luo En's glass.
Luo En snapped out of his daze, and without thinking, he glanced up, only to see two formidable peaks nearly bursting through the loose neckline of the bathrobe and brushing against his nose.
—Rich and generous.
That was Luo En's silent assessment as he quickly diverted his eyes and coughed to change the subject.
"Can't sleep because of what happened during the day?"
"Can't it be for another reason?"
Themis shook her head, propping her chin up as she gazed at Luo En across from her, smiling.
"Like, missing you..."
"Cough cough!"
Luo En coughed violently, almost spraying the flowery brew from his nose.
Greece may be liberal, but you, the Goddess of Justice, don't have to be so forward, do you? Knocking on my door in the middle of the night?
Wait a minute…
Was Themis really that desperate?
Luo En's eyes narrowed, and he instantly became alert, vigilantly eyeing the Goddess of Justice sitting opposite him.
"Who are you?"
"Ah, you found out already?"
A voice tinged with regret came as ripples spread over the impersonating Goddess of Justice, the ample and generous mountains shrank rapidly, the medium stature stretched taller, and golden hair was tinted a vibrant rose-red.
Luo En's gaze swept over the delicate and enticing features and couldn't help but frown darkly,
"Venus? Why is it you?"
"Just as I said earlier, I missed you, didn't I?"
Mechanical God Venus replied cheerfully, her body coiling up like a snake, arms wrapping gently around her boss's right hand and swaying intimately.
Luo En was unmoved and bluntly pushed away Venus's approaching head: "Act proper!"
"You don't like this mode? Okay, I'll switch!"
The red-haired Mechanical God blinked and then snapped her fingers.
Instantly, Venus's body flowed like mercury, her height shortened, her chest curves expanded, and her figure became petite and lovable.
With the final shift in light and color, a black-haired, blue-eyed domestic Goddess flung herself at Luo En, wrapped around his neck, and affectionately rocked back and forth.
"Luo En, did you miss me?"
"Hestia..."
Luo En murmured instinctively, but quickly caught himself and shook his slightly foggy head, dispelling the wrong perception. He yanked Venus, deeply immersed in her role-playing, off himself, sizing up this last Mechanical God of the Bronze Clan with surprise.
After a thorough examination, he finally understood why Venus's disguise had been able to fool him.
Because in a certain sense, this wasn't a "disguise" by Venus but a "transformation."
As a Spirit Particle information collector and infiltration model, the metallic fluid in her body endowed her with the ability to easily change her appearance, height, weight, voice, and more. Moreover, she could simulate the Divinity wavelengths of different targets, perfectly impersonating them after gathering data.
Judging by appearance alone, it was very hard to tell the real from the fake.
Luo En had simply failed to realize this and was thus deceived by Venus' transformation into Themis.
If it hadn't been for her temperament retaining its usual characteristics, manifesting behavioral and verbal discrepancies that didn't match Themis' nature, he would probably have remained oblivious.
"You're still not satisfied? Okay, I'll change again."
At this moment, Mechanical God Venus, seeming quite taken with her role-playing, snapped her fingers again for the third transformation.
This time, she took on Athena's form, commanding arrogantly.
"Lie down, I'm getting on top!"
"Cough cough..."
Luo En coughed violently, remembering the first time Athena had ridden him.
If he hadn't been sure that the Mechanical God of the Bronze Clan hadn't yet come into existence back then, he would've thought Venus had overheard the corner discussion between him and Athena.
However, whether Themis, Hestia, or Athena, this woman could use her Divine Authority and traits to play each part to perfection, with none of the figures or looks amiss.
So, if someone were to bring her into his fold, would that mean he'd married all of Greece's beauties?
Inharmonious images flashed through Luo En's mind, stirring a wave of fanciful thoughts.
Seeing her boss's subtle change in expression, Venus grew more confident.
"Wanna try?"
"Fuck off!"
Luo En suppressed his rising impulses and slapped away the eager Venus, scolding her righteously.
"What kind of nonsense are you always thinking about? Got a virus in your brain?"
"Not at all, I'm very normal! Even more normal than before!"
Venus shook her head, opened her right hand, and gazed at the pink halo swirling in her palm with excited eyes.
"And, I think I may have found my opportunity for advancement."
"What?"
"Mating!"
