The Greece Antagonist

Chapter 248 I Still Prefer Your Untamed Nature (4.7k)_2

Even later, that bastard actually wanted to use ants to taste the sweetness of honey instead of the goat...

However, before that moment could persist, Melinoe had become thoroughly subdued; after suffering punishment, she burst into tears and rushed into the Queen of the Underworld's chamber, pleading for her dear mother's protection and swearing upon the River Styx never again to seek vengeance against a certain bastard.

After that, both parties officially made peace.

Luo En, entrusted by the Queen of the Underworld, began to give Melinoe special training to integrate into human life.

The Netherworld princess, whose temperament had been almost entirely grinded down, could only obediently nod in agreement.

And after a brief period of instruction, Luo En's teaching was showing initial results.

At least, after having had her fill of hardship, Melinoe was no longer as reckless and lawless as before, no longer eager to make it known to her enemies that she harbored intentions of calculated revenge.

Now, she actually looked a bit like a Goddess of Conspiracy, knowing how to bide her time and disguise her intentions.

Conspiracies thrive in the darkness, amidst chaos; the more brazen the scheme, the more likely it is to be exposed, inviting retribution.

It was a lesson Melinoe had learned through blood and tears, this priceless experience.

Although the seal had not been lifted, she had a vague feeling that her own divinity and that of the Goddess of Conspiracy within her were merging more deeply.

That was why Melinoe, who had been outsmarted time and again, was willing to swallow her pride and make peace with that principal instigator of trouble.

Of course, it was only temporary; she was the Goddess who mastered deception and scheming, not some saint of kindness and love.

When the opportunity for revenge came, she would still seek it. Wait till you're in my clutches, you'll get yours!

In a moment of self-congratulatory pleasure, Melinoe's lips curled sinisterly upward, a cold, ill-intentioned smile spreading across her face.

"What are you thinking about, smiling so happily?"

"Brother, wait for me!"

As Luo En heard her and paused his steps, Melinoe immediately slipped her hand into Luo En's arm, shaking the "brother" on her side and walking shoulder to shoulder into the living room.

At that moment, Persephone, who was busy bringing dish after dish to the table, looked up at the sound and saw the siblings entering side by side, causing her to pause briefly in surprise.

"You two..."

"Mother, let's start eating, I'm starving to death."

Melinoe stepped forward to help, taking a dish from the Queen of the Underworld's hands to the table, cooing with a winsome smile.

Luo En, meanwhile, was setting the table and arranging the cutlery with a supporting smile.

"Me too, I've rarely had the chance to eat the pastries and meals you make these days."

"It's all because those old guys down in Tartarus won't settle down, or otherwise, I would rather stay in the garden and cook for you every day."

Persephone responded almost reflexively, looking lovingly at the harmoniously interacting son and daughter before her, as if feeling the atmosphere of the "home" she had longed for.

Family, huh?

A bright smile spread across the Queen of the Underworld's beautiful face as she affectionately called for Luo En and Melinoe to sit beside her, serving them food and piling vegetables onto their plates.

The mounds of food on their plates looked like her years of guilt and the affection she had failed to provide her children.

"Eat up, eat quickly. There's more mushroom soup in the kitchen, I'll go get it."

Watching Persephone bustling about, unwilling to rest for a moment, Melinoe, who had originally only attempted to pretend for the sake of fun, felt a surge of complex emotions within her heart.

Luo En, observing the shifts in Melinoe's expression, swallowed the food he was chewing and smiled faintly.
