Chapter 236 Sorry, Teacher Ma
Chapter 236 Sorry, Teacher Ma
At dawn, at the foot of War God Mountain, the bushes rustled, and a figure covered with dew and dust crawled out from a deep human-shaped pit.
With every movement of his body, the figure on the ground twitched involuntarily, his handsome features contorting into an expression filled with bitterness and sorrow.
It hurt! It really hurt!
It felt as if all his skin had been torn, all his muscles had been severed; every bone trembled, and every drop of blood cried out in agony...
All the organs in his body seemed to have been tortured to the point of wanting to collectively stop working or break free from his body...
Was it really necessary to pluck your feather so harshly?
Luo En grimaced as he reached for his swollen buttock, enduring the severe pain as he fished out a thorny little spike lodged in his flesh.
"Athena, just you wait, sooner or later, it will be your turn to get slapped!"
Just as a certain wretched victim was secretly grinding his teeth and swearing, a series of light footsteps approached from ahead.
Two familiar figures were coming down the mountain path, their purple and green eyes looking around.
"Where's the teacher?"
"The Goddess said he's waiting at the foot of the mountain, he should be around here."
Atalanta and Medusa, walking together, scanned the area for the person who had promised to accompany them to the Academy of Athens today to register.
"Ah, you're here? Up so early?"
Soon, a familiar call came from the woods, and the person they were looking for appeared from under the shade of the trees, smiling and waving his hand as he stepped on the mountain path.
For some reason, however, his steps seemed somewhat floaty and shaky.
Seeing this, Atalanta couldn't help but feel astonished.
"Teacher, you today..."
"Oh, last night, I rushed a little while practicing a newly mastered authority, used up too much energy, my body can't quite cope."
Luo En supported himself against a tree trunk, smilingly explaining: "But it's okay, I'll take you to complete the procedures first, then go back to rest."
"Are you sure it's no problem? Actually, I can accompany Atalanta to check in by myself." On the side, Medusa expressed her concern, volunteering her suggestion.
But Luo En waved his hand with a smile, graciously declining the kind offer: "Don't worry, I can handle this little trouble."
The insistence on going together wasn't about any so-called pride, but because he had his reasons that he had to go.
"Sure, I..."
"Then there's no problem, are you free tonight, Mr. Horse?"
"..."
Watching the obviously inattentive old friend in front of him, the honest centaur could only give up on his title and asked with a wry smile.
"What's up? Got other plans tonight?"
"That's it, Atalanta will be under your care for a while, and since she has no relatives or friends in Athens, I, as a teacher, should probably show some gesture, right?"
Luo En affectionately patted the centaur sage's shoulder, squeezed out a warmly enthusiastic smile, and loudly declared.
"So, tonight we're going to my place for dinner, and that's happily decided!"
"Your place?"
Chiron blinked, somewhat surprised.
Having known him for so long, he still didn't know this guy's exact home address.

"Oh, it's up on the mountain at the residence of the Goddess of the Hearth, Hestia; I am her lesser deity."
"Goddess Hestia? It might not be nice to just show up uninvited?"
"Don't worry, Goddess Hestia is very hospitable and won't mind, plus you helped out so much today, we must entertain you properly!"
Luo En thumped his chest, guaranteeing solemnly, then leaned in and whispered to the centaur sage, hooking his neck.
"And besides, Goddess Hestia is going to cook herself tonight, you really shouldn't miss this opportunity."
Upon hearing the continued enthusiastic invitations and the name of the chef, Chiron slightly got tempted.
Tasting a meal cooked by the Goddess of the Hearth was definitely a rare treat.
"Alright, it's settled then! You handle the paperwork for Atalanta first, take her home after school in the evening, and we'll have a good meal at my house!"
Luo En patted Chiron's shoulder, then unceremoniously left Atalanta with Chiron to handle the paperwork, pulling Medusa as he briskly exited the Academy of Athens.
After walking a distance, someone finally reined in his warm smile, stopped, and turned back, gazing solemnly towards the dense forest where Chiron resided, quietly making a cross over his chest, murmuring softly.
Mr. Horse, it's an emergency, you're so good, you shouldn't blame me, right?
