Chapter 247 Stinky Little Sister, Needs Discipline (4.6k, 8k total today)
At this moment, in the Queen of the Underworld's chambers,
Persephone looked towards Luo En, who was covered in cold sweat, and couldn't help but stand up to inquire with concern.
"What's wrong?"
"It's nothing, just remembered some unhappy memories."
After brushing off the question, Luo En raised his hand to wipe the cold sweat from his forehead, his gaze flickering darkly.
The recent smooth sailing had indeed made him somewhat complacent, neglecting the increasingly subtle attitude of Athena towards him.
It seemed that his elder sister might have noticed something.
Even if not everything, at least a good seventy or eighty percent, perhaps.
But since she has not exposed it, it also means that he did not need to worry about Athena executing familial justice upon him should his identity and the plotting against the gods be revealed.
Of course, a few beatings were definitely unavoidable.
After all, he was waving the flags of War God Mountain and Hestia; his actions outside would inevitably bring some pressure upon Athena.
No wonder she had been so irritable lately, igniting at the slightest provocation.
Unconsciously, Luo En felt his abused rear begin to throb subtly again.
Before he could silently mourn for his own behind, a slight shift in the air flow from behind the closet door pulled his attention back to the present.
Luo En slightly narrowed his eyes, as if asking casually.
"Your Highness the Queen of the Underworld, if I may be so bold, it seems that your relationship with your daughter Melinoe is not very harmonious?"
Persephone nodded slightly, sighing helplessly.
Luo En nodded without hesitation, his face solemn as he made a promise.
"Alright, I promise you, once we're out of the Netherworld, she'll be my sister..." Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire
"Tch, who wants to be your sister! You better stop being presumptuous here!"
Just then, unable to bear it any longer, Melinoe dragged her body, securely bound by cursed ropes, out of the closet like a caterpillar, her hostile grey eyes glaring at Luo En, her cherry-red lips moving briskly, spouting disparaging words like rapid-fire.
"Don't know where this pretty boy came from, looking good but so incompetent. You think you're fit to be my brother? Thinking of controlling me? You better stay far away!"
The actions of the princess of the Netherworld right then perfectly embodied the classic image of "rebellious girl, venomous tongue."
In a moment, Luo En's attempt to maintain a gentle expression in front of the Queen of the Underworld stiffened slightly, his blood pressure surged, and veins bulged on his forehead.
Immediately, Melinoe raised her head defiantly, looking at the mother who was entrusting her to someone else, and spewed another round of harsh sarcasm.
"And you, you and Hades never cared for me from childhood, and now you come acting all concerned? Don't think I'll believe anything you say."
At that moment, a crisp crack came from the sleeves flanking Luo En.
He clenched his fists.
Regaining his composure, Luo En took a deep breath, his face blossoming into a "benevolent" smile as he looked towards the somber Persephone and pointed lightly at his sister, who stood proud like a victorious rooster, his tone unusually gentle as he asked.
"May I punch her?"
"..."
Persephone, distressed by her own daughter's situation, found the inquiry on the other side somewhat difficult to respond to.
"She previously pretended to be like you, aiming to steal the golden bough from the garden and escape, and when I caught her, she lashed out at me directly."
Luo En bluntly accused Melinoe of her numerous misdeeds to the Queen of the Underworld, then spoke earnestly.
