[Greek Mythology] The Confusion of the Goddess of Beauty

The wedding of the most beautiful god and the ugliest god will be held on Mount Olympus seven days later. No matter how much the gods resist the news, the matter is a foregone conclusion. The gods who love Aphrodite There is only helpless acceptance.

It has been six days since Zhigeng was summoned by Zeus to the palace to make him his lover. When the last ray of sunshine of tomorrow quietly falls under the clouds, it indicates that when the day starts again, there will be an unprecedented or future Olympiad. Feast on Mount Pease.

The protagonists of the banquet are the ugliest god Hephaestus and the most beautiful god Aphrodite.

In fact, although Hephaestus has a dull personality and bears the tacit title of the ugliest god in the hearts of all the gods, his mind is very delicate.

This rare delicacy is especially reflected in the treatment of Zhi Geng.He is careful and considerate. Although Zhi Geng had already moved into the new palace on Mount Olympus six days ago, Hephaestus has always been careful to keep a certain safe distance from Zhi Geng, so as not to let Zhi Geng Feeling irritated, he was given enough space, and Hephaestus still slept on Mount Etonas at night.

Hephaestus felt very happy when he thought of becoming a partner with the man he adored, that kind of happiness even broke through his inferiority complex, and immersed him in great joy, even with Facial expressions became extremely vivid.

The changes in Hephaestus were naturally noticed by the gods. While they were dissatisfied, jealousy was also rapidly growing.In the last few days when Aphrodite and Hephaestus were about to become partners, these gods always found various reasons to go to the new palace of the god of beauty, and tried their best to get close to the most beautiful god.

Early on the seventh day, Artemis, the goddess of the moon, was the first to step into the palace of Aphrodite, the goddess of beauty.

"Oh—Aphrodite, the god of love and beauty, the morning dew has already left moist and crystal tears in the newly exposed buds of the flowers, and it seems to be sorry for the most beautiful you, my dear friend Tomorrow, I will be bound by marriage and be free." Artemis looked distressed, her delicate brows were tightly frowned, and there was a trace of tiredness in the corners of her eyes, it seemed that it was because she had kept on all night, and it seemed that it was also because of something on her mind. too much.

Knowing that Artemis is really worried about him, Zhi Geng is naturally a little closer to this hunting goddess who has a clear love and hatred than other gods.He caressed Artemis' brow, and gently smoothed that beautiful eyebrow: "Artemis, I like your joyful look, your confidence and bravery embellish your beauty more vividly and radiantly, don't let Trouble traps you."

After a pause for a few seconds, Zhi Geng said again: "Hephaestus is not as bad as everyone thinks, he has valuable qualities, and that is what we like."

"What about Apollo?" Artemis asked suddenly: "Dear Aphrodite, what do you think of my brother, Apollo?"

Artemis was a little nervous when he asked this question.Thinking of Apollo's anomalies in the past few days, Artemis faintly felt a little uneasy.She understands Apollo's love and dedication to Aphrodite better than anyone else. Her younger brother has always been sunny, with a bright and warm smile on his face all the time.

However, in the past few days, although Apollo's face is still full of smiles, that smile no longer makes her feel warm and warm. This change is undoubtedly related to Aphrodite.Artemis was a little worried that Apollo would do something irrational, and she wanted to know what Aphrodite thought about her younger brother Apollo.

She likes Aphrodite, she hopes that Aphrodite will be happy, and she also hopes that Apollo can return to the way he used to be, full of sunshine like his priesthood.

"Apollo..." Zhi Geng said the name lightly, met Artemis' clear eyes, and after deliberating for a moment, he said: "I like Apollo, just like I like you, Artemis S."

There was a slight smile in Zhi Geng's eyes, and a quiet rippling halo flashed in the pure blue eyes, when he said these words, it gave people the illusion of being as warm as water.

Being stared at by Aphrodite, Artemis blushed a little, listening to Aphrodite's answer, even though Artemis knew it was not Aphrodite's expression of love It was just out of a kind of friendship between friends, but it still made her ears burn, and at that moment, her heartbeat even missed half a beat.

But compared to his younger brother Apollo's strong and strong feeling for Aphrodite, Artemis knows that she is just an instinctive yearning and pursuit for beautiful things, and she doesn't like to be bound by love. She advocates freedom, and if she can, she will maintain the title of Goddess of the Virgin forever.

Because of this divine wish in her heart, Artemis is rational, but her younger brother Apollo is not the same.Although his younger brother is as affectionate as their father and god, he treats every relationship with the most ardent sincerity.What's more, she could feel that Apollo's love for Aphrodite far surpassed any of his previous lovers.

Aphrodite was different to his younger brother.

And tomorrow is the wedding day of Aphrodite and Hephaestus, she is really worried that Apollo will do something irrational.

"Aphrodite, if my younger brother suddenly offends you because of a sudden impulse, my dear friend, please give him more for his precious sincerity towards you." A little tolerance."

Apollo has behaved too abnormally in the past few days, even if it is a sibling, Artemis can't figure out what Apollo is thinking, so he has to remind Aphrodite.Although she knew that she was a bit selfish to Aphrodite by saying this, after all, there is nothing more despicable and shameful than doing things that hurt others in the name of admiration, but her selfishness made her speak out all the words in her heart.

Zhi Geng did not answer directly, neither refused nor affirmed, but it was this silent attitude that made Artemis feel a little flustered, just when Artemis thought it was not appropriate for the other party to ignore this When talking about the topic, Zhi Geng suddenly laughed at this moment.

"Of course, Artemis, the handsome and eccentric Sun God, is a friend who deserves to be treated with tolerance."

The stone hanging in Artemis' heart finally fell, and the tense atmosphere disappeared completely because of Zhi Geng's smile.

Artemis looked at Zhi Geng's smiling face, it was a kind of beauty that could not be described in words, and it had the magical power to infect people's hearts. Artemis raised the corners of her lips and laughed too.

Under Zhi Geng's guidance, the next topic also developed in a happy direction.Artemis is a very talkative goddess. She shared all kinds of vivid and interesting stories with Zhi Geng, and later showed Zhi Geng that sense of rhythm that was not inferior to her younger brother.

After Artemis left, most of the day had passed.Using the remaining time, Zhi Geng went back to Mount Zhiweiraga, and after rearranging some things, night had already fallen.

When we returned to the new palace on Mount Olympus, there were no other gods in the whole palace except for the two maids guarding the outside of the palace, and the air was filled with a quiet and peaceful atmosphere.

The courtyard in the palace is full of roses, and the gorgeous petals are swaying with the breeze, exuding a refreshing fragrance.

The moonlight diffused along these fragrances into the room that would soon belong to Aphrodite and Hephaestus. Zhi Geng lay flat on the bed, half-closed his eyes lazily, and the moonlight illuminated the outline of his side face. , that is a kind of sharp-edged beauty, showing a unique unpredictable mystery and leisurely coolness in the rare and quiet night of Olympus.

Compared to Zhi Geng's casual state of mind, this night was destined to be a sleepless night for the gods of Mount Olympus.

Zhi Geng woke up very early the next day, the calm and calm last night allowed him to rest very smoothly.Putting on the carefully woven clothes sent by the maid, and after the blushing maid dressed him up, Zhi Geng left the room and unexpectedly saw Hephaestus in the garden full of roses.

He seemed to have been waiting there a long time ago. In a sea of ​​red flowers, the thigh-high roses covered the incompleteness of Hephaestus' legs. The red-haired god who put on new clothes actually showed a calm and introverted look. tall and straight.

The new clothes are the same style as the clothes Zhi Geng is wearing now, the only difference is the color, Zhi Geng's robe is white as the background color, while the one on Hephaestus is black as the background color, and the color of the robe is white. The drape is very good, and the piping is embroidered with silver silk and moiré.

Hephaestus had obviously been well-groomed. His long red hair, which was always casually draped behind his back, was tied up and he wore a small silver crown inlaid with jade, and a blue auspicious cloud wide-brimmed brocade belt was tied around his waist.Because of the clothing, his left arm was completely exposed. On his slender and smooth arm were two silver flowing cloud rings, one about one centimeter wide and the other about three centimeters wide.

Hephaestus just stood quietly in the sea of ​​flowers. From Zhi Geng's angle, he just happened to see the side of his face with less scars, his tall nose bridge, and his thin but tight lips.

The ugliest man in the eyes of the gods lowered his eyelids slightly at this moment, his long and thick eyelashes were stained with the dew in the early morning, and a quiet and cold feeling permeated from the tiny gaps, so he was clearly Under the bright and fiery red background, the simplicity and dullness seemed to have turned into a cold and indifferent atmosphere that ignored everything.

Zhi Geng's gaze was not concealed at all, Hephaestus quickly noticed Zhi Geng's gaze, he turned sideways and saw Zhi Geng standing outside the garden.

At this moment, Hephaestus' eyes widened suddenly, his dark pupils were full of astonishment, and he stood there in a daze, unable to look away at all.

In the past, Zhi Geng dressed very casually, but today he specially put on gorgeous new clothes, which further accentuated his outstanding figure and beautiful appearance.The garland of roses on the long golden hair disappeared, replaced by a beautifully shaped bone braid, which was braided by the maid for Zhi Geng. Zhi Geng's unattainable arrogance in the past has changed into a kind of nobility and elegance that can penetrate into the bone marrow.

Because the clothes are of the same style, Zhi Geng's arms are also exposed. The white arms have a sense of smooth flexibility, graceful lines, no over-exaggerated muscles, full of a kind of body beauty, and the thin red chain on the wrist It even made Zhi Geng's skin white and flawless.

Ding!

Hephaestus, god of fire

Favorability +1, current favorability is 96.

"Waiting for a long time?" Zhi Geng walked to the outskirts of the garden and asked knowingly.

His sudden sound interrupted Hephaestus' trance. Under Zhi Geng's gaze, this talented god stuttered nervously, and it took him a long time to spit out a few words dryly: "No ...not long."

After he finished speaking, he didn't know what he thought of, an extremely shy and naive smile rose from the corner of his lips, and there was a blush on his face, honest and honest, with a silly look.

Zhi Geng suddenly thought of teasing him, he raised his hand and shook the thin red chain on his wrist towards Hephaestus, "Do you like me to wear it?"

"I like it." This time Hephaestus replied very simply. Although his voice was dry and unpleasant, fortunately he didn't stutter because of nervousness.

"Then do you have any presents for me?"

He didn't seem to expect that Zhi Geng would ask such a question suddenly, Hephaestus froze for a moment.

"Why...is it gone?" Zhi Geng's tone couldn't hide his disappointment.

"No...not!" Hephaestus quickly replied, "Yes, it's a bow and arrow, but it's not fully finished yet."

Zhi Geng laughed softly when he heard the words, "I am looking forward to your gift, dear Hephaestus..." Zhi Geng paused for a moment before slowly saying: "My partner."

Zhi Geng spoke the last five words very softly, with mellow syllables popping out of his smooth tone, revealing an ambiguous and lingering flavor for no reason.

Sure enough, Hephaestus's face turned even redder. The words spoken from Aphrodite made Hephaestus's whole heart warm up, and his heart beat violently. The great satisfaction and joy made his heart burn.

Zhi Geng turned his head slightly, squinting at the tall man standing in the sea of ​​flowers.

"Let's go, my dear companion." As he said, a light flower appeared on the corner of his lips, and under the fragrance of roses that symbolized ardent love, he stretched out towards Hephaestus. hand.

Ding!

Hephaestus, god of fire

Favorability +1, current favorability is 97.

Hephaestus stared at the hand stretched out towards him. It was white and slender, with sharp bones, round and delicate fingertips, and every joint was as beautiful as if it had been carefully modified.

Hephaestus couldn't refuse Aphrodite's invitation, let alone refuse.His Adam's apple rolled, he walked out of the sea of ​​flowers and held Zhi Geng's hand.

The moment the fingers were clasped together, the soft feeling of skin-to-skin made Hephaestus tremble involuntarily. He subconsciously relaxed his strength. His hands were too rough. The hardened calluses rubbed red on Aphrodite's white and delicate palm.

Sensing the subtle changes in his hand, Zhi Geng deliberately rubbed the back of Hephaestus's hand with the pulp of his index finger, making Hephaestus, who was already extremely nervous, tense even tighter.

Zhi Geng liked his honest and jerky body reaction, and the smile on the corner of his lips widened a bit.Hephaestus stood beside him, looking at Zhi Geng's smiling side face, he couldn't help being a little stunned.It wasn't until Zhi Geng took his hand and started to walk forward that the simple and honest red-haired god suddenly came back to his senses, and followed Zhi Geng with a hot face.

Zhi Geng didn't walk fast enough for the lame Hephaestus to be side by side with him, but the red-haired deity slowed abruptly because of low self-esteem, shyness, or other unknown reasons. Geng took half a step, deliberately keeping a position a little behind Zhi Geng, silent and well-behaved, very obedient.

Zhi Geng squinted his eyes, feeling very good.

[Kuiyin: Is there a feeling of walking a large loyal dog? ]

[No:)]

[Kui Yin: Liar, you obviously enjoy your expression! ]

When Zhi Geng walked outside the hall, Anasius, who was squatting at the door, immediately got up and rubbed his head against Zhi Geng's leg, and Zhi Geng stroked the snow-white fur on Anasius' head with his free hand .

The soft touch softened Zhi Geng's expression, and there was a trace of Qingran's gentleness between his brows and eyes.

"Ah... Aphrodite," Hephaestus said suddenly.

"What's wrong?" Zhi Geng turned around.

"You..." Hephaestus frowned slightly, as if he was thinking about how to express himself better. The red-haired god is not good at words, and he is even clumsy in front of the man he loves. Sentimental.

Zhi Geng waited patiently for him to organize his words.

After several seconds, Hephaestus heard a silly question: "Do you like this white tiger?"

After asking, Hephaestus also seemed to feel that his question was ridiculous, and he felt a little annoyed in addition to embarrassment.

"Anassius is my pet, and I naturally like it."

"Then..." Hephaestus spoke again, but stopped after uttering a sound. His expression was a little tangled, as if he was considering whether to continue talking.

"Dear Hephaestus, we will become each other's partners today, I think there is nothing unspeakable between us." Zhi Geng's words undoubtedly gave Hephaestus great encouragement.

Every time he heard the word partner from Aphrodite's mouth, a hot current flowed from Hephaestus' heart, spreading to his whole body, making him almost shudder with happiness.

Not worrying about other things, Hephaestus said what was on his mind: "Aphrodite, will you let Anasius into our room and follow you all the time?"

Zhi Geng didn't expect that Hephaestus was worried about this, he couldn't help laughing out loud, the quiet and melodious laughter reached Hephaestus' eardrums, and the heat that had just subsided from the tip of his ears was faintly felt again. rising trend.

"If Anasius has been following me, Hephaestus, my dear, how can I concentrate on doing the 'happiest' things with you that only the two of us can do?" Zhi Geng stressed After saying those three words, knowing that Hephaestus didn't mean that, Zhi Geng deliberately directed the words in the direction of ambiguity, ambiguity, and sex.

At this moment, Hephaestus' entire face was completely red, and even his neck began to blush.

Zhi Geng was enjoying Hephaestus' embarrassment in his spare time, but a slight tingling pain came from his fingertips.

Zhi Geng lowered his head and looked at Anasius who was biting his finger with his teeth.

Anasius also raised his head, staring at Zhi Geng with those round eyes, the stream of light inside was like a layer of untainted blue sky, flashing a clear and translucent halo, at this moment, he seemed to be faintly displeased.

Is it because of what I said to Hephaestus...

Zhi Geng raised his eyebrows, moved his hand to Anasius' cheek, and deliberately pulled Anasius' long beard punitively.

"Be good." Zhi Geng paused for a moment, and then said, "Just stay here and guard."

The place where he and Hephaestus were about to go was indeed not suitable for Anasius to be present.

On the way to the banquet, no matter it was Zhi Geng's face or the hands between Zhi Geng and Hephaestus, they all frequently attracted the attention of the waiters and maids. Although they carefully controlled their sight, they were helpless. But still unconsciously chasing the figure of the most beautiful god.

Apart from these waiters and maids, Zhi Geng didn't see any other gods, so he probably had already arrived at the banquet hall.

When Zhi Geng and Hephaestus arrived together, they saw the muses standing at the door.

The young and beautiful goddesses held bright red roses in their hands, even though they felt how amazing Aphrodite's face was in their hearts, and how sorry they were for him to be a partner with the ugliest god. At this moment, they still had decent smiles on the corners of their mouths, staring at the ugliest god and the most beautiful god who were about to become partners.

Zhi Geng dragged Hephaestus into the banquet hall.

In the spacious hall, the crystal wall lamps were dimly lit, flashing brilliant colors under the yellowish light of the sun, and the gods of Mount Olympus were already sitting in their respective positions.

After Zhi Geng's gaze casually swept around the hall, it landed on the most conspicuous position directly above.

On the magnificent throne made of gold, the most noble king in the entire God Realm lay sideways, with his long legs crossed, his head resting on one hand, and his long black hair fell down to his chest. There is also a force that cannot be ignored.

He looked down at the blond beauty who was being watched by the gods, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips. After a short moment of amazement, a hint of playfulness flashed in those dark eyes.

Ding!

God King Zeus———

Favorability +5, current favorability is 35.

There was a gasp of exclamation in the air, and the gods looked at this god who should be loved by all things in the world, and the suppressed desire in their hearts almost burst out uncontrollably.

On weekdays, Aphrodite has an unattainable indifference all over her body. It is a sense of distance that cannot be played with like a plum on a mountain, making it impossible for those who covet her to approach, let alone touch.However, when he looks at you inadvertently, there is an inexplicable enchantment and strong aggressiveness, and there seems to be a hint of seductive charm in the eyes, and the slightly rising clear The coldness and alienation contained in the corners of Mei's eyes always give rise to a strong desire to conquer.

However, at this moment, Aphrodite, who was dressed in a new white suit, was standing beside Hephaestus, and his whole body exuded a youthful, beautiful and elegant atmosphere.The long golden hair is braided into a simple bone braid, and the few strands of hair hanging down dyed the picturesque eyebrows, like a pool of soft and peaceful water, without the slightest attack power, as if any hands lightly touching the water surface Gently flicking, a piece of warm and flowing spring can be rippling.

This seductive sense of fragility dilutes the strong desire of the gods to conquer in the past, making them want to hold him in their arms, take care of him carefully, and hold all the beautiful things in front of him, just for the sake of him. In exchange for a stop in his eyes.

They liked Aphrodite even more, and were deeply fascinated by this most beautiful god.

At the same time, the jealousy and unwillingness in my heart grew stronger.

Their eyes shifted to Zhi Geng and Hephaestus' hands, and there was a turbulent undercurrent in their eyes, like sharp and cold blades, as if they wanted to scrape Hephaestus's flesh and blood away. .

Facing the fierce gazes of these gods, such obvious gazes, as dull as Hephaestus, and feeling the displeasure and anger of these gods from the heart, he pursed the corners of his lips, and unconsciously clenched Zhi Geng's hands. hands.

Hera sat on the throne slightly facing Zeus, and she held a scepter decorated with cat lilies in her hand. In the whole banquet, the smile on her face was probably the only one that was sincere. A sense of pleasure extended from revenge.

She stood up and said slowly with a clear and beautiful voice like a lark: "Today is the wedding of my child Hephaestus and the goddess of beauty Aphrodite, the gods are their witnesses, and they deserve to be sincere blessings, joyful dances and beautiful music will be sung to them..."

[Kui Yin: The little wolf dog didn't come because he didn't dare to face it? ]

[do not know. ]

[Kuiyin: Sun God's favorability has increased by 1 point, and the current favorability is as high as 97. ]

Apollo's gaze never moved away from Zhi Geng once he came in. At this moment, he was sitting upright, with his fingers crossed on the table, listening to Hera's high-sounding false words, with a smile on his face. With the usual sunny smile.

No one knew that in his eyes, the fiery emotions hidden deeply had been covered with haze under the extreme depression, and the storm brewed by the crazy coveting and love seemed to completely engulf him.

The author has something to say: In fact, I feel that the characters of the Greek gods are similar to human beings. Although they bear the title of gods, their emotions are very obvious, they will be jealous, and they are very selfish and willful~

Apollo: I'm really not blackened :) Why doesn't even my sister believe me, so angry!

The wedding will go smoothly, and things must be done!
