"Lorne~~"
Seeing the figure she had been longing for so much right in front of her eyes, the Huntress Goddess let out a joyful cheer and dragged her hot, alluring body straight into her lover's arms.
Through the thin undergarment, Lorne could clearly feel the curvaceous, youthful body underneath the fabric as a fire immediately ignited in his chest, and his breathing gradually became rough and heavy.
But before the desire could turn into a raging blaze, the last bit of his reason allowed him to keep a rare moment of clarity.
He hurriedly pressed down on Artemis, who was moving restlessly in his arms, leaned close to the Huntress Goddess's ear and whispered nervously in a very low voice.
"Are you trying to get us killed?
This is Olympus! If anyone discovers us this time, we might not have as much reaction time to smoothly talk our way out of it!"
"I came without leaving any traces, and I set up a barrier outside. I guarantee no one will discover us."
Artemis first explained in a lowered voice and then pointed toward the round moon outside the window.
"Also, today is the 15th..."
Lorne immediately understood and licked his somewhat dry lips, the fire in his eyes gradually burning hotter.
As the Goddess of the Hunt, tracking the traces of prey and hiding her own movements were Artemis's innate divine authorities.
Even someone as cautious as Lorne himself had not noticed at all how successfully this Huntress Goddess had sneaked into his bedroom.
Not to mention that in Olympus, a pile of troubles happened every day, and trying to precisely lock onto one specific god was extremely difficult.
Moreover, the 15th was the night of the full moon...
This also meant that even if they did some bad things, when she woke up the next morning, the love authority inside Artemis would help her recover completely and easily cover everything up.
But to be safe, he immediately secretly borrowed a portion of the [Bull]'s authority, poured it into the ground under his feet and wove a new safety measure.
As the divine embodiment of Crete, the [Bull] possessed not only [Power] but also the ability to use the advantage of terrain and create a certain degree of [Labyrinth] effect.
Even after that, Lorne still felt it was not safe enough, so he also activated the [Divinity of Chance] from the twelve-sided die and further concealed the perception of fate.
After quickly finishing all these preparations, he felt his thoughts suddenly flow freely and immediately lifted the soft jade in his arms by the waist, before walking quickly toward the bed in the bedroom.
With such a beautiful and passionate lover in his arms, his desires swelled.
After being separated for so long, he was really hungry, and it was indeed time to eat a good, hearty meal.
Facing her lover's strong approach, the beautiful warlike Goddess of Hunting became like a little white rabbit that had removed all weapons and sharpness and let him carry her onto the bed.
Her soft golden hair spread across the pillow like clouds and waterfalls, her long eyelashes trembled slightly as her eyes gently closed.
Seeing this highland flower from the mountains and forests take on a posture of letting him pick as he wished, Lorne could no longer hold back and pounced onto the bed and prepared for a completely naked confrontation.
However, just when the two sides were about to clash directly, Lorne's shoulders were suddenly pressed hard by someone, and the battle stopped abruptly.
This time, the one stopping him was Artemis.
"No good, someone is going to the temple to find me!"
"?"
"Apollo!"
In an instant, both people on the bed felt a shock in their minds, and their hearts became weak with fear.
They hurriedly put on clothes and quickly cleaned up the scene of the crime.
"No, it is already too late!"
As she sensed her good little brother getting closer and closer to her temple, Artemis immediately became anxious and panicked.
Even if she rushed back at the fastest speed right now, she probably could not return to her own temple silently under Apollo's eyes.
For a moment, the more anxious Artemis became, the more chaotic she got, the more chaotic she got, the more anxious she became, and fine cold sweat even appeared on her snow-white forehead.
"Don't panic, I have a way."
Just when the Huntress Goddess was somewhat at a loss, the low voice beside her ear once again brought her the familiar sense of security.
After a few quiet whispers, Artemis's eyes suddenly lit up.
Immediately afterward, two figures slipped out of Hestia's temple, one after the other.
~~
At the same time, in front of the Huntress Temple.
Apollo looked at the grand hall, immersed in darkness and silence, and a trace of surprise appeared on his face.
She went to rest so early?
Wasn't she a typical night owl?
Just when the God of Light felt some doubt in his heart and lifted his foot to step onto the stairs to knock on the door, an abrupt voice came from behind.
"Lady Artemis, are you asleep?"
Apollo subconsciously turned around only to see a figure he greatly disliked and could not help but frown deeply.
"What are you doing here?"
"Oh, Lady Hestia asked me to come and ask when Lady Artemis would have time to visit her new home as a guest. She lives alone outside and finds it quite boring."
Lorne kept a smile on his face and, without any politeness, used Hestia's name as a shield.
The lie came out of his mouth easily.
Apollo glared coldly at the man in front of him with dark, gloomy eyes.
"Why not during the day?"
"I just arrived at Olympus, there were too many things to handle, and it accidentally dragged on until night..."
Bang!
Before Lorne could finish speaking, a golden light flashed instantly.
One hand grabbed his loose collar and pinned him hard against the nearby column, making a dull collision sound.
Apollo pressed close to Lorne's ear with a gloomy face and spoke in a low, chilling voice, his eyes showing undisguised disgust and wariness.
"I warn you, do not have any ideas about my sister! Otherwise, you will die very ugly!"
"Uh, I only came to pass on a message..." Lorne hurriedly raised both hands to show he was innocent.
"You had better be!"
Hearing that innocent answer, Apollo nodded, but his gaze remained cold.
"However, I hope you stay far away from now on and do not appear in front of my sister again. Do you understand?"
"Then I am afraid you will have to ask Lady Hestia and Lady Artemis yourself. I am only a subordinate god and have no right to make decisions for the main gods."
Lorne answered with a smile and a completely innocent look.
The meaning of these words was very clear.
He was very proper, knew his position clearly, but the exchanges between the gods and what that Huntress Goddess thought had nothing to do with him.
But in simple terms, this was the classic non-stick statement often used by scumbags.
No refusal, no initiative, no responsibility...
Vaguely hearing the hidden meaning, Apollo's hand holding Lorne's collar could not help but tighten with more strength.
He immediately pulled him close to his face and warned in a low voice through gritted teeth.
"You will harm her to death! When that time comes, I will definitely make you accompany her in death. Even Aunt Hestia will not be able to protect you!"
While speaking, this proud God of Light looked at that disgusting, smiling face, and anger surged in his heart; his fist made cracking sounds as he clenched it tightly.
"Hey, what are you two doing here?"
Just when the atmosphere between the two became tense and confrontational, a clear, pleasant voice came from behind.
Hearing that familiar voice, Apollo gave a start.
He turned around and looked at his sister standing under the moonlight with a doubtful expression on her face and squeezed out an awkward yet polite smile, let go of the collar he was holding, patted Lorne's shoulder and spoke in a warm tone.
"We were discussing inviting you to go hunting together tomorrow."
As he spoke, this God of Light gave Lorne a warning glance.
"Mm, that's right."
Lorne nodded and very cooperatively played along, keeping the same unchanging smile on his face.
"Lord Apollo also wants to invite me to come along."
Instantly, Apollo's hand that was patting Lorne's shoulder stiffened for a few moments.
However, when Artemis heard this news, she could not help but show joy on her face and looked very delighted.
"Really? That's great. Father God doesn't know when he will return, and it just so happens you have not been to my sacred land yet.
The three of us can go to Arcadia together tomorrow and take a look around!"
"Uh, sure..."
Apollo maintained a dry smile and nodded stiffly.
His heart felt as uncomfortable as if he had swallowed a dead fly.
He had originally been thinking of driving this restless guy away to prevent any trouble, but he never expected the other side to directly follow the stick and entangle himself even more with his own sister.
Truly someone who does not know the meaning of death!
In the darkness, the God of Light gave a sinister glare toward Lorne beside him, then turned his head to look at his sister Artemis, who was walking toward him, immediately switching to a warm, gentle smile as he changed the subject.
"By the way, sister, you were not in the temple just now?"
Artemis nodded, stretched lazily under the moonlight, and showed a comfortable expression on her face.
"It was too early to sleep, so I went out for a walk and conveniently took a bath in the sacred pool."
Apollo saw the lingering water vapor on his sister's body and the golden, long hair draped behind her head.
He had no suspicions, nodded slightly, and accepted the explanation.
Meanwhile, Lorne and Artemis quietly exchanged a nod under the cover of the night.
One side was responsible for intercepting Apollo and creating some conflict, while the other side took the opportunity to clean up all the scents and traces that appeared at a timed moment to mediate...
In this way, because of his preconceived notions, Apollo, naturally
would not think that the two people in front of him had just been hooking up and had almost rolled in the sheets.
But after this brief calm, the God of Light spoke first.
"Sister, it is getting late. Since we are preparing to go hunting in Arcadia tomorrow, you should rest early, too. We will not disturb you anymore."
As he spoke, he grabbed Lorne's shoulder, put on an appearance of intimacy, and prepared to drag this trouble away from his sister's sight.
"Lady Artemis, see you tomorrow."
Lorne waved his hand, made a gesture of farewell, stopped Artemis, who wanted to say something to keep them, and then added with a smile.
"Also, Lady Hestia asked me to pass on a message to you. She hopes you will have time to visit her new home and sit for a while."
Seeing that the matter was already settled, Artemis could only nod somewhat unwillingly and watched the two people outside the door gradually walk farther away, then turned around, closed the door, herself got into the bedcovers and muttered in frustration.
"Apollo, that brat is too annoying!"
.
.
.
At the same time, on the Olympus plaza.
As soon as they left the perception range of the Huntress Temple, Apollo immediately changed his face, shook off his hand in disgust, looked arrogantly at the subordinate god in front of him, and reminded him coldly once again.
"I warn you, you had better behave yourself, remember your own status and do not think about playing any tricks in front of me!"
"Then, Lord Apollo, take care, I will not see you off."
Lorne kept his usual smile, waved his hand, and watched the God of Light gradually walk farther away, then slowly returned to Hestia's temple.
When he stepped from the dark courtyard into the bright domain, his face gradually showed an even more brilliant smile, and a trace of dangerous meaning brewed within it.
Want to make a move against me again?
It seems you really do not like me and even more dislike me mixing with your sister, little brother-in-law...
Then the first one will be decided as you...
Accompanied by a silent murmur, the defensive spells around the temple were reactivated.
The figure under the light sat at the table, took out the twelve-sided die from his body, and casually flicked it.
The die rolled around once as if it had a telepathic connection with its owner and showed upward a number pattern composed of several rays of sunlight.
6?
Lorne was slightly stunned for a moment, then the corners of his mouth lifted into a pleased arc.
