“I’m not talking about my home in Washington,” Diana said, taking a deep breath. “Come back to my hometown with me.”

home?

hope Nian was stunned.

Chapter 38, A Few Days on Paradise Island

hope Nian had heard about Diana's hometown during that bathtub night.

That's not just New York, a metropolis, or a particular city or town; it's the ancient land known as "Paradise Island," inhabited by the Amazons, a warrior race descended from the age of gods.

Even through the fabric, one could feel the smoothness and suppleness of the long legs she was sitting on. Xinian asked with some confusion, "Auntie, didn't you say before that you were exiled from Paradise Island?"

Paradise Island.

Created by Zeus, the king of the Olympian gods, the island is protected by a magical field. Not only are high-tech human devices unable to detect its existence from the outside, but people also forget the correct landmarks of the island once they leave its interior.

This is why Paradise Island is both a real place on Earth and truly isolated from the human world.

Aunt Diana forgot the island's coordinates when she left Paradise Island during World War I, which was equivalent to being eternally exiled and unable to return to her homeland.

“That is indeed true.” Diana nodded slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with wisdom. “However, not long ago, thanks to your help, I thought of a way to return to Paradise Island.”

"My...help?" Xinian was even more confused. When had she ever helped her aunt?

Diana said softly, "Finding a way back to Paradise Island isn't important. What's important is whether you're willing to come back with me."

This moment.

On the opposite bank of the river, the modern streets were bustling with activity, and the night wind blew, breaking through the thin layer of floating ice on the river.

Xinian suddenly realized that this was also an option.

Is it a choice between living in the human world, maintaining one's identity, and inheriting everything from the past sixteen years, or following one's aunt?

Is there any need to hesitate?

hope Nian smiled and said, "I'm willing."

Diana asked with some doubt, "Even if I can never see your friends again?"

“That would naturally be a very sad thing.” hope Nian paused, then said sincerely, “But if I never see my aunt again, I will die.”

Throughout history, many heroes have died because of women.

Besides, he wasn't a hero, and he was sitting on a skirt.

"Alright, you want to stay on Paradise Island for a long time, but my mother won't allow it." Diana tapped Xinian's head lightly with her finger and smiled, "I haven't seen my people in a long time, I'm just going back for a visit. We'll come back together before your vacation ends."

"When do we depart?" Xinian asked curiously, since this was essentially a multi-day trip to Paradise Island.

No, it feels more like going back to my aunt's parents' house.

hope Nian thought to himself.

Diana didn't have as many thoughts as him. She parted her lips slightly and said, "Now, let's set off immediately."

……

The next day, in the morning.

On a huge three-story sightseeing cruise ship in the Aegean Sea.

Thanks to Greece's Mediterranean climate, winters are not particularly cold. Bathed in bright sunshine, tourists flocked to the open deck to enjoy the cool sea breeze and romantic ocean views.

While enjoying entertainment and relaxation, tourists from all over the world seemed to also be hoping for a wonderful romantic encounter. The men dressed as debonair British gentlemen, and the women wore mostly gorgeous and graceful long dresses. Many people chatted and socialized on the deck while admiring the sea view.

When a woman stepped onto the cruise ship deck, all the men were amazed, while the women vying for her attention paled in comparison.

The dark-haired woman wore a white, one-shoulder, slit dress. Her exquisitely beautiful face seemed sculpted by a deity, and her tall, mature figure was perfectly proportioned by the long dress, outlining a captivatingly graceful silhouette. Every gesture she made exuded nobility and elegance, and her sexy, slightly wavy, shoulder-length hair shimmered.

Beside the woman followed a young man with a youthful face, handsome and refined, dressed in a well-fitting shirt and uniform.

The two walked side by side from the cabin onto the deck, looking like a brother and sister who were about ten years apart in age.

Immediately.

On the deck, a gentleman stepped forward and approached the woman, politely saying, "Madam, may I have the honor of getting to know you?"

He didn't wait for the mature and stunning woman to respond.

The boy next to her suddenly asserted his ownership, wrapping his arms around her slender waist and smiling politely, "Sorry, this is my little girlfriend."

A little girlfriend?!

In that instant, countless people on the deck were astonished, and for a moment they all doubted that they had misheard.

The gentleman who had taken off his hat to strike up a conversation was also somewhat dumbfounded, and subconsciously looked at the woman.

Diana did not speak, but a faint smile played on her lips, as if tacitly acknowledging this identity.

hope Nian blinked and said, "Excuse me, sir, could you please move aside?"

"Me, Uncle?" The gentleman's lips twitched, as if he had suffered some kind of fatal blow, and he dejectedly stepped aside.

Seeing this, the other gentlemen didn't bother to go and strike up a conversation, but suddenly found the ladies around them less appealing.

At such a young age, he has reached the 'pinnacle' of human achievement, driving an ultra-luxury car; there's really no comparison between people!

……

Xinian put his arm around Diana and led her to the deck railing, where they were greeted by a vast expanse of azure sea.

Diana glanced at Xinian and suddenly asked, "Just now, what did you call me?"

“Little,” Xinian opened his mouth, then said decisively, “Auntie!”

"Really?" Diana asked expressionlessly.

"of course."

"Let go of my hand right now."

"Oh." hope Nian awkwardly withdrew his hand, looking somewhat aggrieved.

Diana seemed to realize her tone had been a bit harsh, and added softly, "Don't hug me like that in public..."

hope Nian's heart skipped a beat for no apparent reason.

So does that mean I can hug her freely at home, not outside?

Top-notch understanding!

"What if I want to hug her tonight?" Xinian couldn't help but ask, feeling that she still needed her aunt's personal approval.

Diana turned her face away, gazing intently at the sea before her, as if she hadn't heard what he was saying.

It seems like there's no chance.

Xinian didn't feel much regret. If he really let him hug her, he would be the one who would suffer in the end.

Diana suddenly spoke up: "I've remembered some of the location of Paradise Island."

"That's great, think about it carefully again." hope Nian's eyes brightened slightly. He stopped talking and let his aunt concentrate.

If one possesses divine power, one will surely be able to see it.

At this moment, Diana was still clutching a golden lasso in her right hand. The other end of the lasso was bound to her left wrist.

The golden lasso is used to bind others and force them to reveal the truth.

There is also a hidden rule in this.

Even things deep in my memory that I've forgotten, I'll force myself to remember!

Inspired by her previous binding of Shinian, Diana now uses the Lasso of Truth on herself, borrowing the power of the artifact to defy the laws of Paradise Island in order to remember the correct coordinates of Paradise Island!

Chapter 39, Arrival at Paradise Island, Identity

"I remember now." Diana suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and inexplicably reminded him, "hope Nian, get ready!"

"Prepare? Prepare for what?"

Xinian turned his head and glanced at his aunt, noticing that the white dress with a slit and one shoulder that his aunt was wearing had been transformed into a red armor dress for when she was armed, with a battle shield and a silver sword on her back, and the crown and bracelets on her forehead and wrists gleaming brightly in the sunlight.

"Auntie, you're like this..." Xinian turned around in surprise, but her hurried voice quickly stopped.

The tourists on the deck were still enjoying the view and socializing, but no one glanced at Diana, who was dressed up. It was as if they no longer existed on the deck in other people's eyes.

"Don't worry, they can't see it." As Diana spoke, she reached out and picked up Xinian, raising the golden lasso in her right hand and crouching slightly to prepare for a fight.

Realizing what his aunt was about to do, Xinian exclaimed, "Wait! I'm not ready yet!"

Before Xinian could finish speaking, Diana had already swiftly jumped forward, covering dozens of meters ahead of the cruise ship.

Just as the two were about to land on the sea, Diana swung the golden rope forward, lassoing the crest of a surging wave in the distance, and using the force to pull herself up high into the sea ahead!

It looked as if it were speeding across the sea, violently creating waves and ripples along its path.

"Look! What's that?"

The tourists on the deck all looked out at the sea ahead of the cruise ship. They could only see a straight white trail, which they mistook for something like a tuna or other marine creature, as the white water jet disappeared rapidly into the horizon of the Aegean Sea.

……

Diana was like a humanoid fighter jet diving low over the sea. Xinian, who was in her arms, took out a pair of goggles from his pocket and put them on, which allowed him to open his eyes in the face of the strong hurricane.

The sea was clearly receding towards their sides, quickly leaving the yacht far behind and eventually disappearing from sight. On the vast ocean, only Diana and Xinian remained, swooping and soaring through the air.

that's it.

I don't know whether I traveled ten kilometers or hundreds of kilometers to some destination.

until--

With a "pop," Diana led Shinian through an invisible barrier.

hope Nian opened his eyes wide. What was once an endless expanse of deep blue sea had suddenly turned into a clear, slightly shallower turquoise sea!

Nestled amidst a vast array of reefs, resembling a forest of soldiers guarding the islands, lies a magnificent archipelago in the deepest part of this sea. The largest and most central island is surrounded by golden, flowing sand beaches, with towering mountains and cliffs upon which sit numerous white temples and sanctuaries in the style of ancient Greece!

The massive waterfall, like a magnificent crown adorning the mountain peaks, cascades down with tremendous force, forming a dazzling rainbow halo!

Even without Aunt Diana's explanation, Xinian knew it at a glance.
